Goh Aik Shien

The Best Day In My Life

Another 30 minutes left to go before every year 2010 SPM candidates could obtain their examination result from their respective secondary school.

It’s a Wednesday morning, I remember. D-Day has arrived. Soon it will be an important day for us as it will judge our qualification to pursue our tertiary education and determine our destiny, carrier and future for the next coming years.

The night before, I could not sleep well as I’m worried about my result. I remember, during the whole examination week, I’m still playing computer games and to be honest, I didn’t even give in 100 % of my effort while answering the questions. Now, recalling those incidents, I regretted for what I’ve done.

The next day, I woke up extremely early. By 9.00am, I’m already in my secondary school, an hour earlier before our examination results will be announced. Just like what I’ve expected, the school is already crowded. Everyone has been waiting for this moment. We waited and waited. Finally, 5 minutes left.

We began to look for our respective teacher to claim our result slip. One by one, we took our result and leave. From my friends’ expression, most of them look disappointed. Finally, it’s my turn. “ Goh Aik Shien.” she yelled. “You could have done better !” My heart sinked. “Anyway, I still have to congratulate you. You got 9As and a B!” she continued. I’m stunned. 9As and a B! Yahoo ! I’m on cloud nine. Not only that I’m happy with my result, but I’m also happy that I no longer have to endure the 3 months of suffering for waiting this moment.

At last, everything is over. That’s the best day of my life.
