207

It was quite disheartening to hear that my brother had 207 for his PSLE result. Although he can be a real pain when it comes to studying, he is still my brother and i feel for him. After all, to have 2 brothers with 225 and 226, you could say it was a personal disappointment on his part.

(On a sidenote, Bryo and I played a little bet after Irving proclaimed he can beat the both of us. Bryo would cut his family jewels and poked out his eyes if Irving scored over 240. I remained passive over such issues. In the end, he gave him 190 while I predicted 210. I guess I won the bet this time round)

Of all the people to have been affected, I felt my mum was hit the hardest. She was hoping that my brother will at least have the marks to have gone into St. Gabriel's, which stands at 218. With her original battle plan gone near to ruins, she had to relook at the manuscript, assessing whatever chances my brother has.

It gotten really serious when she had to activate the legendary Daron into her plan. Being naturally gifted as a A-maths students, she had used my name, together with Bryo's name to aid Irving in his appeal case into St. Gabriel through the connections with our old-time favourite A-math teacher, Mr Stanley Tan(By God's Grace, both Bryo and mua had the same A-maths teacher for Os).

I was also activated as a chauffeur. Together with my frantic mother as the vehicle commander, we travelled to almost every single secondary school near our house, including Compassvale Sec, Seng Kang Sec, Hougang Sec, Montfort Sec, North Vista Sec and Bartley Sec. As for my younger brother, killing cute cuddly toys in MapleStory seemed just as important as finding out where he will be going to for the next 4 years. But hey..! Let's not be critical at this point. As I sit down and reflect over my past experience, putting 3 schools that are ridiculously higher than my actual PSLE marks as my 1st 3 choice was a similar cause of ending up in St. Gabriel. It was an amazement that I still ended up in St. Gabriel's, it being my 4th choice. And what was I doing? Playing computer games with human like tentacles ruling the world.

Merciful God, I pray that You will do what's best for Irving. Bring him to a school that offers no evil. Even better, a school that teaches Your word and ultimately coming to know You. May You bless him with 4 years of enriching life, like how You bless me when I was in St. Gabriels.

Amen.
