Yes, I have gotten back my first examination results in my varsity education. I couldn't wait any longer for the release date. I couldn't wait to witness judgement day. I couldn't wait to see the fruits of my labour, within them bear the months of mental stimulation. It all boils down to the 29th, it is the deciding factor. Although results aka GPA aren't everything in life, they still play a microscopic part in your purpose of life, so it is bullshit when people tell you that results aren't important. You know very much that they are just finding a convenient approach to comfort you.

Let's face this practical world, in every organisation, every sane person will want to be the top 20% of the pyramid, hoping that there are always the remaining 80% to support them at the bottom. This mentality is entrenched in each of us and can be applied in the GPA system too. How you wish you are in the dean's list. But for my case, I am very sure I am still some distance away from that goal. It is always painstaking to see B grades on my result slip, but I gotta admit those technical modules aren't my forte and I deserve the 2 B+ grades. What I couldn't get over with are my 2 most confident modules, HE191 and CH1031, an A- for both of them won't settle me down. But looking from another perspective, I have to swallow my sky-high ego and admit that there are always more academically-inclined people in my course. Nevertheless, I am not and never will be disheartened, for I will strive for an even higher GPA=4.67(yes, i have calculated!!)

Besides the results, things are looking bright in the hall with our excellent performance in both sports and recreational IHG. I am playing hockey and boggle, both of which are totally new to me before I stayed in hall. I always feel it is enriching to pick up a new sports.

My first competitive hockey match( after just 4 training sessions) bounced off to an impressive start against hall 8. Technically speaking, we were on par, but we held the physical edge over them with our undying stamina and speed. Playing as a right back, I had very rare contacts with the ball, and precisely, the only 2 contacts were crucial interceptions that I made.

The 2nd match were against mighty hall 13, for they fielded a couple of national players. We faced an uphill task of neutralising their swift attacks and experienced game play. At the end of the day, the better team won, and i had no rants to make, only valuable experience gained for the next and final group match against hall 8 again.

This crucial match is a deciding factor for our advancement into the quarters and sadly, I couldnt promise my turn out that day, for I have boggle IHG on the same day. Yes, boggle! I am gonna own them all!!
