Hello people! Well first of all congratulations to all of you who just got your a-levels results! The nightmare’s finally over so it’s time to celebrate!


NOTE: long, boring post ahead about my life before, during, and after A-levels!






Hmmm a-levels. Known to be one of the best pre-university course around, very popular, but is it recommended for the weak hearted? NO.


Two years ago i applied for the Taylor’s Principal’s Scholarship and somehow got it. It wasn’t anything much, just an RM10,000 discount on the RM30,000 a-levels course in Tayor’s University College.


Being a clueless kid who just completed SPM i saw this as a very good chance, as it has already set a path for me and i didn’t had to think of what to study anymore.


Also, being a science nerd, it was obvious that i wanted to study science for the rest of my life. HAHA. So i chose Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, without even thinking. As for the forth subject, i was contemplating between Physics ,Further Mathematics, or just take three subjects.


I told my mom about it and she said i should definitely go for four subjects, (which is the maximum number of subjects for a-levels) and if i really can’t handle it then just drop it anytime. Great parents i have. ♥


So for the forth subject i decided on Physics. Till today i still wonder what would have turned out if i went with my heart and took Further Maths.


But that’s not the point is it?


First of all a brief introduction about a-levels (for my case i took Cambridge a-levels). It is divided into two sections. AS level for one year, and A2 level for the next half a year.


So if you’re wondering, “EHH i thought you oredi got your a-levels results last year?” Well that was my AS results. In the end they compile my AS and A2 results into my official A-levels results!


So anyway, during this whole course it wasn’t easy at all. There were so much to study in a short time. The syllabus felt really rushed and there were tests over tests over tests. But i was very lucky to be able to study in Taylor’s as the lecturers were always very helpful. Having really smart classmates helped tremendously too!


There were times i felt like dropping a subject as it’s a lot easier, so i sought advice from my Physics lecturer but she stopped me from dropping it out of sheer impulse. So i took her advice and continued struggling with Physics.


But in the end i was glad i didn’t drop Physics as having an additional subject is definitely an advantage.


Well to all you kiddos out there, please think before you choose the A-level pathway.


Anyway, fast forward to this year. I got really bad results for my A2 trials and i was definitely beaten down. My Chemistry used to be the best science subject last year but this year it has became the worst. My Biology and Mathematics became the strongest. When everyone applied for universities all around the world, i did not. Beginning of the year when applications were still open i had set my mind on Medicine, and i actually told my mom that i wouldn’t do anything except that.


So while everyone was busy writing personal statements, i did not apply to any overseas universities as i thought i would be going to IMU.


But half way through the year i felt i was really bore of sciences already and my one passion that has never faded was Mathematics. Since young it has always been my favorite and strongest subject. So i decided to pursue Maths instead.


I went over to NTU in singapore recently and found out that i had to await till next years intake as the application has closed a long time ago.


Today was results day. Yesterday night i told my mom that i wouldn’t set an alarm clock just to wake up and wait for the results (which will be out at around 8am) but instead sleep till noon as the server will be very busy anyway. But this morning i was woken up by my phone and turns out my mom has called 7 times. HAHA. SHe was so anxious that i had to wake up and try my luck with the server.


After trying a few times, finally! It’s out! I couldn’t believe my eyes so i logged out and logged in again. I was hesitating whether to announce it here or not but i fell it’s something to be proud of, so yeah! I got FOUR A*s for my A-levels! I wouldn’t have even dreamt of getting A stars in my life as all the lecturers claim that getting an A* is very hard!


I was happy with it, but i didn’t exactly felt i deserved it . But i would really like to thank god and definitely, my family. My super awesome parents and sisters has always been supprting me tremendously in whatever i do and most importantly they always believe in me. Without them i would never have been here and i love love love love love them soooooooooo much!


But still i know this is just A-levels and after celebrating for awhile its time to get on to scholarship applications. Without a scholarship i can’t pursue my dream and i wouldn’t wanna burden my family even more.


So thanks to everyone that has helped in the process and thanks god for blessing me with such awesome family and good results!
