A Day That I Won't Forget...
23rd February 2009, the day that I won't forget anymore longer... Not in this lifetime of mine...
I'm sure by now, some of you would know what had happened to me throughout from September 2008 to the present. Yes, I will reveal that I did actually had to repeat a module in Republic Polytechnic since September 2008, and this module, always gives me the jitters, no matter how much I put in the effort.
I could remember that I didn't get through my first 2 Understanding Tests, even though I've made attempts to complete the 'electronic test paper', for the first time of my life. It's okay for the first time; but not all right for the second time and I could clearly remembered that I sobbed so hard on the phone with him that I'm very much determined to do extremely well for my 3rd and the last Understanding Test.
So yes, when my Business Finance module finally finished and in pending for the release of results, lots of thoughts went through my mind. I always kept telling myself not to think about it but somehow or rather, the image of having to fail another 2 more understanding tests got me all worried and stressed up totally. Each time, I have to keep chanting to myself that I will pass and I NEED to pass. Lots of mental preparations are being made along the way which includes of applying jobs within as a GCE O-Level holder, just in the case....
Today is the release of my results and honestly speaking, I dared not to even take a look at my results because I'm worried that I would see another 'E' popping out from nowhere. Ended up, I would have my closest friend, Qiu Hui (aka Da Jie) to take a look for me and the minute when she called me back to tell me that I've passed, tears of happiness and joy falls down from my eyes, wetting my already sweating cheeks.
The best part? I was at Yio Chu Kang road area when I've heard this piece of good news from her. Immediately, I gave a call to my Dad, whom he takes in real delight of having me getting a polytechnic certificate and to him, upon which I've disturbed him during his understudying period. (I'm so sorry!!). I've sent SMSes, informing all of my friends that I've finally got through my repeated module and offically a graduate from Republic Polytechnic.
Despite of all odds, I've finally graduate from Republic Polytechnic. It makes me realized the importance and the difficulty of finally getting this diploma certificate from my polytechnic. The thought of having to don on my polytechnic's graduation robe, to take a proper self and family portraits (okay, I know this is too... atas lar.. But it's a proud moment for my family, to be the first in my paternal side to graduate from a tertiary insitution that is almost equalled to an University...), to get an official Republic Polytechnic folder that contains my diploma certificate and 3 of my transcripts... are priceless.
I will always treasure my education from now onwards... and the repeated module has become my first wake-up call. I'm very determined that I won't allow this to repeat its history, anymore longer.
To him, my family, my friends... Thank you for being so supportive despite the fact that I need to repeat this module, much to my Mum's chagrin, especially. You guys didn't turn me down or look down on me with the fact that I'm a repeat poly student. Your endless of care and concern touches my heart and the amount of sincere congratulations after informing you guys that I've passed, are something that I will always, always remember for the rest of my life.
It makes me treasure everyone of you even more. =)
Now, I'm looking foward to being an official graduate from Republic Polytechnic in April! Hehe... And now, at this unlikely timing, it's time to search for better job positios in the Singapore Civil Service.. -.-!
