Well, I guess not everyone had known their results like those who didnt register for SMS, or even those who have registered but havent get yet who mostly are on b-mobile network.

Reminder

- Collect result slips from your respective schools or from MOE for private candidates

- For those who thinks their grade are 'not up to the mark' & wish to 'give another shot', you are advised to register with your schools or directly @ MOE for June exams ASAP. Jangan terlambat nanti miss

- For those who didnt get good grades, its not the end of the road. It marks another start, so ponder upon what went wrong & emerge stronger the next time around.

- For those who got bombarded (including me) by your parents.Dont blame them because 'IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD' (quote from a movie)

-Lastly, please do not try to do silly things. STAY STRONG

Failure is not the end. There are still other routes to be explored 

Lastly

Congrats to all Brunei GCE A,As & O Level candidates who have passed, passed with flying colours, passed with straight A's,passed with strings of A's,average pass,above average pass, 'cukup makan' pass, etc. You must be wondering what did I get 2a2b thats it no bragging. I would say its a 'cukup makan flying colours' pass. Hence, there goes my iPhone!

For those who didnt make it to the passing benchmark, stay strong & 'pasti ada hikmah di sebaliknya'. Its not the end, there are routes to be explored. Consult your Career officer for more info & advice.

For those who have made it, its time to move on to the next level of your life & another obstacle have been passed in your route to 'menara gading'. Now its time to ponder which way next? 

I shouldnt talk this much in times like this oh well one more sentence or 2 before I end this posting. 

Is it logical if I say its all because of my 'red&white wristband' It doesnt seem logical right, but it seems that since I had wear my wristbands my grades improves. Hmm? 

Bye!

This blogger thinks that people should ponder this result system as well as ponder upon the results. We shall rise stronger in the future to give a 'counterstrike'
P.S. Congrats to Youthgen team members who have passed, while those with a less unfavourable result dont be sad, still long way to go, other routes to be explored. You never know what lies in the future, you could be successful in business world?
