The Result Day...
Everyone has their moments of happiness and sadness. I only like to remember the good stuff that happens to me that lights up my face whenever I think about them. A memory that is still fresh in my mind is no other than my primary school result day and the results of my secondary school thereafter.

My very good friend, Sharanya, has been class mates with me since day one of primary school life till the end; year after year. When we completed our Primary School Leaving Examinations we heaved a sigh of relief. Although the examinations were over, our minds were whirling with excitement on the outcome of our results. We spent most of the holidays going for movies, window shopping and even going to the library just to spend time together.

On the actual result day, adrenalin rushed within us. As the teacher called the names of our other friends one by one to hand them the result slip, we exchanged looks with suspense and excitement.

As her name was called out earlier than mine, she received her results first. I saw her looking through the result slip smiling from ear to ear, looking pleased with what she saw there. Then we both waited eagerly for my results. As I was the last in the class register, I had to wait very long. I was impatient and anxious. When it was my turn to finally collect my results, I held my breath and walked with my heart pounding fast. I got to the table and looked at my results.

I could not believe what I saw. Suddenly my heart swindled with happiness and tears of joy rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I showed my mother and Sharanya my results. To our surprise, the difference in our aggregate was merely by just one number. I had 249 and she got 250. My mother was too happy for words. As for us, we were on cloud nine already discussing about our school choices.

We went to a few schools open house together before deciding our preferred school. It was love at first sight when I first saw cedar girls’ secondary school. The newly renovated ambience and fresh clean look was an impression not to be forgotten. We decided that very day that this was where we wanted to spend another four years studying together. We chose all the exactly same six choices for our sec schools, obviously Cedar girls being the first choice. We were overjoyed to know that indeed we got the same school.

Although we are no more classmates here, we are happy to be in the same school where we can still catch up with each other like the good old primary school days…
