Mum's repeatedly telling me to retake 'A' Levels. Problem is, I'm enlisting in April. Can I both mug for retaken 'A' Levels + survive NS at the same time? I actually also wish to get into OCS... Seems like I'll have to scrape that dream and be content with being normal infantry or even storeman. Maybe clerk, so that I will have more time to mug. Haiz...

Mr R said on the class blog that results we (hc students) may be disappointed with may actually make other JC students really proud to achieve. Its because we've been too conditioned, by the school, to believe that everybody gets 4 'A's. So in the end, did I do badly because 70% of the entire cohort have received at least 3 H2 'A's, or did I do well by improving from a SSSU/D to a BBCC/A?

I really don't know what my mindset now should be. NTU ADM accepts DDD/D grades on its 10th percentile, NUS Archi accepts BCC/C, NUS ID accepts CCC/C... Will my BBC/A be sufficient to enter these courses, since I don't really have much portfolio? Other people may not need to worry (eg. XTY being in AEP) about portfolio, but I don't have much other than the various T-Shirt designs and blog designs and banner designs which I have come up with. I don't have oil paintings, many sketches, films and videos which the general art student have to back them up; all I have is an art background from P1 to S4 in NAFA Junior Art. Is that sufficient? Will they accept me?

Hahas I've begin to realize that other people (high achievers, eg CMY) begin having bad dreams regarding results BEFORE the results are actually out. People like me who have been receiving poor results for a long long time only begin their nightmare AFTER results are out, thinking about whether they will be able to get into that so-and-so course or whatsoever. All in all, I've come to the conclusion that results are still the most important issue in this society and I've begun to regret my action (not mugging hard) during pre-u-student-time. I don't believe I'll get a second chance (with the exception of a reincarnation, that means that I have to die first) at scoring better, unless MINDEF allows me to take more time off NS life so that I can mug for retaken A levels.

So do I retake? Or not. Sigh... I've till the end of March to ponder on this question. Don't know if I can come up with a certain answer by then...
