let me tell you why God didn't give me 7A1s. He knew I wanted to go on stage but if I did, I'll probably steal His glory and enjoy the limelight. pride would come in and that'll kill all the progress I've made in growing the humility in me. God's purpose is really great, His ways and thoughts are really greater and higher than mine (isaiah 55:8-9). but really, to God be all the glory for the 6 subjects I received A1s for - because He granted the desires of my heart. no more, no less. just 6 for l1r5, and a pass for higher chinese so there's 4 bonus points. I was disappointed, frankly. the only thing on my mind for half an hour - "I didn't do well enough. I didn't give my best. I could definitely have done better"...exactly how much of God can anyone see thru'/in me from that? none at all..so much for godliness with contentment. I wasn't godly, I wasn't contented. but thank God I realised soon enough, the full picture as to why I didn't do any better.
1 thessalonians 5:16-18, "be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"

I'm really really really really really really really blessed and I don't even deserve this much. GREAT BIG THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO'VE FAITHFULLY KEPT ME IN PRAYER, WISHED ME ALL THE BEST AND CONGRATULATED me :) too many to name right here, but I really feel the love and appreciate it all very much, so thanks for touching my heart/blessing me!

heartiest congratulations to: clare fong, mill!/pawitporn jianprasert, rachel choe, vanessa, mich hwang, xiang, anisha, madeline ang, jia yhin, grace, ding, leeks, abi nyam for being few of the many top scorers :) and other 6 pointers like sherri lee, ggggr! and to the churchies like elissa, shuxin, ben yeo, terence etc., abi tay & gab who did higher chinese. to everyone else who did well...but ultimately, God has a purpose and plan for each and everyone of us. surrender our futures to Him and He'll see that we go thru' a successful, triumphant life - not one rid of troubles, but one full of victories in Christ, amen? :)

must never forget. God is good, great, awesome, faithful.
faithful.
