Results
It was doomsday at 1900 hrs yesterday, 31st May 2005. The release of my last results at NUS to put a temporary end to my academic pursuits.
Instead of using the phone to check my results, I used the Internet this time. I never really liked having to listen to the recorded female voice slowly pronouncing and articulating every single syllable.
At least I get to see all my results at one shot, irregardless of whether it was good or disastrous.
I always get mini panic attacks right before I am due to collect a test paper, exam script or results. I don't know if this happens to anyone. But my confidence that I might do well for a particular subject will take a drastic nosedive just before the results will be out. I would be thinking things like I didn't answer a question right or adequately enough or I should have participated more in class discussions blah blah blah...
Switched on my computer at 7.01pm.
Directed my browser to this page.
The page loads.
As I took a deep breath and braced myself to see a couple of Bs and hopefully no Cs, the browser brought me to this page:

WTF! Yes, I know I am graduating and I am absolutely sure that my personal details are right. Even then, can't I check my results first???!!!
Panic.
Click "Proceed".
My overall CAP is a not-to-be-proud-of 3.42. Heck! At least I increased the figure.
A surprise and little disappointment. No 'A's but all 'B's. No 'C's! Investment Analysis B+!!!
Yes! I was not expecting to get an 'A' but I really really thought the subject would be at most a definite 'B-'!
B+?? I am eternally grateful!
And for the fun of listening to the female voice on the recording one last time, I called NUSPHONE.
This time all my panic was gone and in fact, I even called it a few more times after the first call! Hahaha!!!
