[WARNING: Lengthy post XD]
I have been anticipating this day for quite a while ever since rumours started spreading as to when the results were going to be released.
I think my class got quite a shock when our PW teacher Ms Ying walked into the bio lab in the middle of our mock SPA to announce the results since we were supposed to go to an assigned classroom.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense as Ms Ying read out the instructions pertaining to appeal for a higher grade (just emphasising it was literally impossible), the marks were pretty much final and we should accept their marks for what they are. Then she asked us to come up one by one to see our grades and told us not to peek at other peoples' marks.
That should have been my cue because I'm index one and I'm supposed to go up to her first and get the ball rolling. For some reason I stayed rooted in my seat like I was chained down to the lab floor.
Then she said:
"Aiya nevermind lah the whole class got A."
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA we were screaming, cheering and clapping and people were tearing and I think we really disturbed the other classes but we were so relieved. Happy. Joyful. Proud of ourselves.
This class is amazing I swear. Really amazing work contributed by everyone.

Couldn't be more proud of these people, not to mention every other person in my class. It feels good to know that everything we put in paid off. Wow.
And what's a celebratory post on PW without some dedications to my lovely group mates!
Cheryl Ho:
I wonder what our group would have done without your sharp ability to make our whole project so refined and very detailed from before. You've helped so much in polishing our WR apart from contributing your fair share of work and knowing that you nearly cried on the day of the WR submission because we were still editing it and adding the last details really made my heart break because it touched me to see how you were really concerned about the WR and everything else and we were this close to finishing but there were always 1 or 2 details that Ms Ying would point out and send us back to the drawing board again. But we can proudly say that we have made is, and you've been an amazing team player. Thank you so much <3>3>
Rui:
You've been a really good confidant whenever I was really stressed about how to handle the project/ go about assigning work to the group. Our skype conversations were really meaningful and they played a part in helping me to look on the bright side of things and keep my head up above all our setbacks. Apart from how enthusiastic you were when it came to doing the tasks which I assigned to you, you were really thoughtful when you had to juggle council stuff but you always made up for it in one way or another. It really meant a lot to me. You've also helped me to disseminate information to the group when I was just too tired of emphasising the same thing over and over again and you've helped a lot when it came to contributing new ideas to the project. Thank you so much for everything <3>3>
Jing Cheng:
I'm smiling even when I've not thought about what to type for your dedication. Don't worry, it doesnt have a bad connotation. Anyway, you have surprised me the most. Given that it was quite awkward from the start since we barely knew each other and it was rather uncomfortable for me to assign work to you and boss you around. However as time progressed, you surprised me with your wide variety of creative ideas that I would have never in a million years thought of that added so much more colour to our project. Your ideas were really something special and they were the missing links to a lot of the 'gaps' in our WR. Furthermore, your oral presentation was really impressive after you've edited your part. Thanks for tolerating me bossing you around haha.
Yuan Wei:
HAHA thinking of what Rui said to you in the lab today still cracks me up HAHAHA. You've provided quite a lot of life to our group...You've always completed what I've asked you to do and whenever I felt that it could be further improved and I sent the document back to you, you would be all right with making the changes so that our project would be even better than before. Towards the end, like JC, when our group became closer and we were more open to sharing our ideas and opinions, you've also provided many good ideas to beef up our project. Thanks for tolerating all the screaming from me especially during OP when we were correcting your pronunciation. Without a doubt your presentation was good and your voice still had that comical touch that made your segment really attention-grabbing. After all, our project is about humour, and that couldn't be more fitting.
All 5 of us are so different but with so many unique abilities, all combined together helped to make our project a success. Kudos to you all <3>3>
