Black sheep of the family me

My brother got 265 for his PSLE!!!

I guess that means he's definitely going to RI. Carry on the family tradition my father started.

Yeah my PSLE score sucks if you compare my results to that of the rest of my family and extended family (especially on my dad's side), but whatever. I'm very happy for my brother because I know he was very anxious and there probably was a lot of peer pressure from his other Gifted Programme classmates (who do O LEVEL MATH FOR LEISURE WTH). I know my brother was under a lot of pressure because he already had an aim: to get into RI. When I was doing my PSLE I didn't have an aim; I didn't know what secondary school to aim for; at my time in my school we only knew about the schools around us - Jurong Sec, Jurong West Sec, Fuhua etc.

I remember being happy with a score of 243 and an A* for English on my way home when Sarah's mum called and told my mum that Sarah got 272 and A* for everything. I was like, so? She's a genius what.

And my brother really did work quite hard. He's reading the PSLE guides I didn't touch four years ago. I don't remember studying for PSLE at all, so I didn't expect much and didn't get much either - 243. I was happy with it because I really didn't have an aim then. When someone has an aim and works for it, he deserves to get it.

But I'm really glad I went to Crescent. If I'd scored better I probably would've gone somewhere else, but Crescent's awesome.

Congratulate my brother!

I guess Cuixiao and I are in the same boat now - Crescentians with Rafflesian brothers.
