05.03.2011 – Seeing that wordpress.com has been down for the past 12 hours, I’ll be posting on my Tumblr account until they resolve the issue.
My bro, Musli, was one of the many who had waited anxiously for the ‘A’ level results to be out yesterday afternoon (04.03.2011). According to my mom, he had received a call from his school sometime around mid-day informing him that Radio Warna 94.2FM would like to conduct an interview with him at 3pm. Mom was super excited and badly wanted me to record his interview when it gets aired.
I wasn’t sure if they were going to air him live so I tuned in and waited from 3pm (having quickly fixed my laptop speakers) but NOTHING! So I sms’ed him asking what the interview was about, and he said to tune in much later that day to Berita (news) at 5pm and 7.30pm.
HAHA!!
To those who missed Berita on Radio Warna 94.2FM at 5pm and 7.30pm yesterday, here’s a recording I took at the latter time, thanks to a last-minute installation of FreeCorder4.

To Musli: Despite the fact that your penjodoh bilangan CMI* :p, we are still very proud of you! <3 Love, Your family.
(*CMI = Cannot Make It)
This morning I was at Mom’s to drop off Mika.My brother was lazing around in bed seemingly not looking the least bit eager for his O’level results due later in the afternoon (or at least he didn’t show it). I had asked him to text me as soon as his results were out, and then I was off to work.
Slightly after (late) lunch, I had a series of meetings and hadn’t realized I have received 2 text messages on my cellphone (one from bro and one from dad) and a missed call from dad’s cellphone.
Dad’s msg: "Musli got 10 pt for O level"
Bro’s msg: "10 points."
I couldn’t help but feel excited, and replied a word of congrats to both! I began to realize that even though these two messages meant the same, but somehow I came to think that my bro wasn’t too happy about it (not sure why, maybe it’s the 2-worded text msg). He did mentioned that if he were to get 10 points and above, he’d go to polytechnic, and anything less than that, to JC. But the only interest he long-aimed for is Medicine at NUS, if not, he’d rather pursue the same course overseas. And the only chance of him (probably) getting that is if he enters JC, because the probability of going down that route is much higher.
True enough, when I reached at Mom’s after work (to fetch Mika), he didn’t look too happy, as opposed to Mom and Dad who were pretty estatic. "First one in the family to break the record", Dad said "5 As and 3 Bs out of 9 subjects". I’ve gotten 16 points for L1R4 during my time, and I can’t remember how much my sisters got. My bro, on he other hand, got 10 points for L1R5 (for JC intake) and 7 points for L1R4 (for Poly intake). It was because of his humanities subject that had pulled down his marks as this is compulsory for JC intake. We (my sisters and I) tried to convinve him to take up poly, but his interest shows otherwise. So who are we to decide, right?
We eventually gave him a word of encouragement because even though he earned those 10pts, he still hasn’t factored his cca point deduction (based on specific criteria which i’m totally clueless about). Ultimately, he would be scoring 6 points, and that would definitely earn him an option to a JC of his choice.
To Musli, Congratulations! And pls do persevere in studying hard and aim for the best always. Wish you all the success for your future. I hope my kids will grow up to be as smart as you.
