God is good =]

Hi guys!!!

I just reached home not too long ago...

We left Australia from the airport in Perth at around 1.45 a.m. (Aussie time, making it around 12.45 a.m. Malaysian time) this morning...

And thank God, we reached the LCCT airport safely...

And we even landed around 40 minutes earlier than expected!!!

Yup, God is good =]

Oh, and also...

Air Asia X is good!!!!!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Got TV screen also ok!!!

But wanna watch movie must buy lah...

Of course lah, if not how they earn money right?!?!?!?!?

wakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka...

Anyway, here is a picture of the screen, situated right at the back of every headrest...

For the person seating directly behind that seat to see...

Don't play-play ar!!! Budget flight but still can watch TV ok!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahaha...

Of course, I think everyone else on the plane, like us, didn't buy the set to watch movies or whatever...

We were all too busy sleeping ZZZZZZZZZ

wakakakakakakakakakakakaka...

What to do?!?!?!?

Traveling at these type of weird-weird hours...

Middle of the night...

Sure sleep one lah!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Anyway, we landed safely at the LCCT airport a little after 6 a.m...

After that, we collected our luggage bags and went out...

Daddy and niko took a bus to get the car from our condo there while the rest of us (Aunty Tin2, Aunty Annie, mummy and me) waited at the side of the road, where there were a few bench or chairs or whatever that was...

After a little while, daddy called to say that there was a makan place that we could wait at...

So we waited there...

Oh, and in case you guys didn't know...

PMR results were announced today...

Yup, at 10.00 a.m...

At first I thought that I would be home before 10, so I could go to school to see my friends and collect my results with them...

Unfortunately, that wasn't quite possible...

I wanted to ask someone to help me get my results but the aunties and mummy told me that if my results were good, my friends would let me know as soon as the results were posted...

So I sat there, reading a new book I bought in Australia...

Slightly fidgety and jumpy, I sat there trying as hard as I could to concentrate on the story...

After some time, the aunties and mummy started playing gin rummy...

I continued reading my book...

We waited for quite a long time...

From 8-something till around ten, the 3 around me kept asking the time and about my results, whether I knew my results already or not...

They were just as excited and fidgety as I was!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

By 10 a.m., I couldn't read any longer- I had been reading the same line over and over again!!!

I couldn't concentrate, so I kept my book aside and let mummy on her toilet break while I took over for her that round of gin rummy...

I won that round for mummy, of course...

wakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka =P

Anyway, some rounds later, daddy called and said that they were nearing already...

So we packed up the cards and got ready to go off...

I was super-duper fidgety as I hadn't heard any news from anyone...

Nobody seemed to know my results...

I mean, if I obtained straight A's, everyone was sure to know, right?!?!?!?

I mean, there would be a list there right?!?!?!?!?!?

But no news...

Everytime I heard a phone so much as make a noise or vibrate- mine or others- I would jump and check my phone...

mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

I know, so desperate, right?!?!?!?!?

Anyway, at 10.32 a.m., I got a sms from my ex-English teacher, Puan Posezana...

"Congratulations."

Yup, just like that...

I wanted to jump up and down and scream right in the middle of the food court, but I still didn't know my results exactly...

And the message could have been sent to the wrong person, or maybe she was congratulating me on getting an A for English...

I mean, who knows, right?!?!?!?!?

So I decided to reply that sms...

"Hi teacher. Thx, but I'm in KL, juz came back from Australia... Do you noe my results?"

That was what I sent to her...

By that time, I was already jumping up and down...

Not screaming though...

Mummy knew what was going on, and she looked excited too...

The two aunties were in the toilet...

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Anyway, I was jumping up and down, up and down, up and down in the middle of the food cout, in front of all those people, some ang mohs, but I didn't care...

By the time Puan Rosezana's reply came back, the two aunties were already by my side...

"No but i'm sure ur one of the 131 stds who got straight a's"

I was screaming already, not reading the message properly...

But then mummy reread the message in a calm way, and I realised that she caught what teacher probably meant...

She had confidence in me, but she wasn't entirely sure of my results...

That didn't stop me from bouncing up and down...

If anything, it probably made my jump faster and higher...

I was jumping while replying thank you to Puan Rosezana...

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Anyway, mummy, together with the Aunty Tin2 and aunty Annie finally convinced me to call somebody, or anybody for that matter, to hear my results...

Daddy and niko, who had just arrived, also thought that it was a good idea...

Finally, I gave in and called Puan Elizabeth...

I tried to speak as calmly as possible and tried to get my results...

Anyway, it went something like this:
Me: Hello? Puan Elizabeth? This is Amanda.
Teacher: Hello Amand- (I sorta cut her off >.<)
Me: Teacher, I'm now in KL, I just arrived from Australia this morning, so I can't make it in time to get my results. Do you have any idea how I did?
Teacher: Amanda ar, 3 Utarid right? Hold on ar, wait there! (then she said to somebody else that was probably beside her) Tiga Utarid mana? Amanda Chong. Berapa A?
Unknown person beside teacher: (To teacher) Lapan A. (Weird... How to be "lapan A"? I only took 7 subjects ar... But at that time, I really didn't care)
Teacher: (To me now) Ok, straight A's.
Me: Really? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me leh, Amanda Chong leh, really? AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teacher: Oh my goodness!!! Okay, congratulations.

From then on, everything was a blur...

Firstly, I only took seven subjects , how could I have gotten 8 A's?!?!?!?

Secondly, the way teacher said it made it feel like she was just telling me what I wanted to hear, not anything else... Her voice was just so calm and... normal!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

And thirdly, when I started screaming really loudly, mummy started signalling something to me, and I think I nodded, and suddenly everyone was hugging me, and I really don't know what happened...

Whatever it was, I was thanking God...

Anyway, some time after we were on the road, everything started processing in my mind...

I didn't know if what I heard was really what teacher had said or simply just my imagination...

After some sms-es about my friends' results, and nobody knowing mine...

I really started to think that maybe what I thought I heard was really just my own imagination...

Anyway...

The whole way back, my handphone was off the hook...

Everyone seemed like they were doing really well...

By that time, I was convinced that whatever Puan Elizabeth said or what I thought she had said was just a product of my overly vivid imagination...

wakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka...

I sort of erased the whole thing off my mind...

Anyway, my earlier-nearly-fully-charged handphone soon gave me the battery low sign...

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the real copy of my results, to see for sure what my results were like...

After sending the two aunties home, daddy drove us straight to my school, even before going home...

The school was nearly deserted by the time we reached there...

All of us (dad, mum, niko and I) got out of the car...

It was like I couldn't think at that moment...

Good thing the rest of them knew what to do...

They led me (instead of the other way around) to the administration office upstairs...

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Up there, we asked the clerk of whoever that was whether we could get my results there...

After telling her my class and name, she took my papers out...

The first sheet was one with my exam details and my subject names...

And there, at the side, was what we were looking for...

I kinda held my breath as my eyes skimmed through that particular column...

The letters in that column all looked the same, but nothing really registered in my head...

Beside me, I heard mummy saying ,"yes!!!"
Behind me, I heard daddy saying, "now that's what we want to see!!!"
I heard myself saying, "Oh, YESSS!!!!!!"

We thanked the person there and walked out of the office...

Once the doors closed, that's when I really came to my senses and started really shouting and hugging mum, dad and niko...

And of course, thanking God...

I mean, without God, my results wouldn't have been anywhere near what I got- straight, and not crooked A's...

God is really good...

I really thank God for really blessing me in my exams this year...

Let's put it this way...

I took 3 major exams this year...

My piano exam, my violin exam and of course, PMR...

And while taking all these three exams, I could feel that God was with me, that God was really guiding and helping me through them...

Especially all throughout my PMR exam, while most were fidgety while answering the exam questions, I felt surprisingly calm and even excited...

I knew that God was with me every single paper I took...

I knew that God was embracing me and helping me stay calm and feel A-OK...

With the blessing of God, I did really well on all three of those major exams...

So all I wanna say is...

God is good and...





Thank you God =]
