The Mother of ALL Mornings.

12th of March was the fateful day,the day the whole nation has been waiting for. For those who don't know what I'm talking about,it was results day for the 2008 SPM takers. It was a day full of emotion,so read on :)

The morning started with Manchester United's Champions League 2nd leg match against Inter Milan. Hey,football if very important to me so just bear with me xD. Anyway,win the game,and we're through to the Quarter-finals. The game started around 3.45 a.m which didn't bother me much coz I couldn't really sleep the night before anyways,I'm sure the other SPM takers had the exact same problem. Those who didn't,Man! How did u get to sleep so easily? haha so,after the 1st leg,the game was perfectly poised with a scoreline of 0-0. It was a shame we couldn't score in the 1st leg,as we absolutely outplayed Inter. We made the Italian Champions look like amateurs. Thankfully enough,Nemanja Vidic scored in the 4th minute,and settled the nerves of everyone associated with Man Utd. At the half-hour mark,Inter finally settled in and begin to threaten us. Then the killer blow came when Cristiano Ronaldo scored early in the 2nd half. That was game over,and we comfortably saw the game out. The result made it 4 English teams in the Quarter-finals,again proving the superiority of the Barclays Premier League. So that was a succesful 1st part of my day. Still a long way to go though :)

It was around 6 when the game ended. So I tried to sleep while waiting for the inevitable. Again,I had trouble sleeping but managed to get some rest until around 9a.m. Then I took a shower and made a tuna sandwich for myself. After mama had served breakfast for the cats,we took off to school at around 10.45. The adrenaline rush was unbelievable! Ur mind starts thinking of the worst,ur body starts to shiver and sweat,it was nerve-wrecking! So then we arrived at school. Seeing my younger friends who are still in school and seeing my teachers made me all the more nervous. So I kept praying from the front gate until the school hall. It took a lot of effort to step into the hall haha seeing all the people inside,wondering how did I do. Then Reena greeted me first and she congratulated me. Funnily enough,that didn't ease my nervousness at all! haha next,Azhar and Imran also congratulated me. Still being nervous as before,I came up to the table where Pn. Jasmine n Meagan was sitting. Their expression-less face freaked the hell out of me! Then Pn. Jasmine calmly handed me my result slip. Then she asked me to fill my name in a list that said 'Straight As Students' at the top right hand site. Then it occured to me I did it! But too bad by the end of the day the list was only filled by my name. So then I went and hugged Mama,I think she knew the result even before I did! haha then I was greeted by congratulations from everyone,from my closest friends to people I only know by their name. Then I took a few moments alone to digest the emotions I've felt during the 5 minutes of madness. I must have looked pretty awful coz my friends said I looked like I scored straight Es! haha I was shocked to be honest. Of course I had hoped to score straight As,but I had never really thought what it would feel like to really achieve the feat. But the part I hate on days like these are the mixed emotions u feel. One moment ur delighted with ur result,the next moment u feel bad seeing ur friends in tears. I never really know what to say in these situations,but I'd like to say well done guys,especially to my classmates. We had the most wonderful of times together,and all of u deserved to score well,so well done! And for those that are still down from their results,don't worry. SPM is just a ticket to tertiary education. This is only the beginning,there's still a long way to go and alot of work still to be done. So cheer up! It's not all bad :)

So there u go,the eventful day of 12th March 2009. From the football in the early morning right through the rush of results handout,it was an amazing day full of emotions. Until next time,take care everyone! :)
