I didn't get back any results today, because I didn't take the O-level Chinese paper last year...and I didn't go down to the hall to hear the full details of the results because I had to do work, but from my classroom (which is pretty far away), I could hear screams that were enough to bring the house down...haha...think they did well. Anyway, I titled this entry 'results'. Why? Because I've got back some results of my super-important tests, 2 of them, today. But before that, just want to congratulate joan, nicky and mark for their results. Oh, and Stephanie and Hongzhou on their As for the chinese paper. Well done :)

Okay, my turn for revelation. Should I? Aiya...whatever lah. I got A1 for all the papers I got back so far (Integrated Maths, Higher Chinese, Biology, Chemistry) And so, right here in public, I want to make a declaration. That is, I want to give God the glory for every result that came my way. I was sick, and tired too for every single test, but He helped me pull through each one, and gave me the wisdom in understanding the questions. So, if there be any human praise, give that praise to God. He deserves it more than we do...and He'll help us safe-keep it so that we will continue to be humble and not complacent :)


Anyway, I thought I'd also like to share with you a special something that I wrote for one of my physics assignments on magnetism. Those people who take physics, please be more lenient. I still don't know much. If I've made any mistakes, just tell me okay? Enjoy :) And don't become lame after reading it...


(Mr. Magnet strides onto stage with great pride and full of airs. He beams as he takes the microphone, and without any hints of prepared notes, starts in a booming voice)

Hail me! The GREATEST and definitely most divine one you could ever find in the entire universe! (Clear throat) Pardon me, I now present to you the most honourable man you could ever meet: ME! I am... Mr. Magnet! Ladies and gentlemen, please give me a round of applause.

(Applause).

Now, let me introduce to you...the wonders of...ME. I'm not a property agent, but my properties will definitely send you flying towards me with supreme admiration. Oh I'm so humble, but I just have to say this, lest all of you do it. I'm so attractive! (Clear throat again). Let's iron out the facts. It really isn't me who initiates everything, but iron and many other metals just can't help being attracted to me. Is it my figure? Probably not, I'd say. I come in an assortment of shapes and sizes, the slim and slender rods, the horse-shoe-shaped ones, the "holy" dough-nut shaped ones, and even square-headed ones, just to add to the variety. So what's so attractive about me? Maybe they can't help it!

The North Pole and South Pole are freezing, cold and desolate places you really don't want to be at. But oh! At my poles, that's where all the metals want to go. They're so attracted by my poles that if you look closely enough, you'd even see massive activity of pole-dancing there! But I'm picky. My motto is creme de la creme. I only go for the best. I will only reveal my charm to certain materials. You commoners will never be good enough for me, for I am Mr. Magnet, the Great One!

Some of you may ask how my relationship with other magnets is like. Well, let's get this straight. I'm definitely straight! My dipoles are arranged in a singular direction. Therefore, the south pole of another magnet would attract my north pole, the and north pole of another magnet would fly towards my south, like birds just before winter. You could say, the North Pole secretes hormones, which attract the south pole of another magnet. But when like poles come together, they know they should not be together. Hence, they do not fight for territory but go through a repulsive repulsion. You could never find them existing together harmoniously.

Well, enough about the skinny poles. Let's focus on...ME! You know what the great humans have found out about me? I'm not only suave and attractive, I'm even useful in so many areas! Can you believe it?! Where can you find a greater one than me? You don't believe me? Let me prove it. Think about this situation. You're all lost in the forest, weary and tired, with no clue where to go. You think all hope is lost and that you're doomed, but guess who shows up? My dear friend, the compass. He helps you to navigate your way out of the darkness and gloom, and all you can eventually cry is, "My hero!" You see, my applications encompass so many things, including the compass. Besides that, I help you shut your fridge, I am used in loudspeakers, electrical motors and even electrical generators.

Wow! I can't believe how brilliant I am, and yet I manage to stay humble. To end off this speech, I'd like to thank myself once again for being...ME! Without me, nothing would have been possible. And thank you, all my fans. I'll never forget your love for me.

(Walking off the stage, Mr. Magnet once again presses the 'play' button and the sounds of applause once again thunder through the entire room. The soft toys sitting in front of the stage remain in their original position, as Mr. Magnet picks them up one by one, saying, "You were a great audience.")
