Seriously, I didn't think much, lest worry about it, coz really, all it matters is he's going into a reputable school next year.
It was an overcast morning and I was contemplating of going for my yoga class or not when the car decided for me as it refused to give any response at all. That was my hubs' car but of course, I would be in great trouble if I just ran away from home just like that before he solved his problem of how he's going to office.
Apparently, one of the connection to the battery was loosened and we were appalled to see how that could have happened! Anyway, I then went back home and took breakfast out and woke the kids up.
We reached school about 11 and there were many people already in the school compound. I found his teacher seated at a bench serving a beeline of her students and I stood nearby eagerly waited for his result slip. Out of the sudden, korkor turned up in front of me and told me his results instead. I couldn't believe my ears, I thought he was kidding, coz no, it wasn't because he achieved straight As but it was mighty B.A.D! I asked him how he knew, and he said everyone's results were all "dipaparkan di papan kenyataan" already.
No, he didn't fail in any subjects, it was As and Bs, but the number of As were just too far below our, even his own expectations. Frankly, I was rather disappointed, so was he and his dad.
I did feel guilty on my part, oh what have I done? I could have done this, I could have done that, but then again, we all know he's so much better than his results showed. And I slapped myself too for contradicting on my own priorities. The results do not spell how successful and happy they are in their lives, dammit!
To be fair, I do feel proud of him for his other achievements in school. On the last 2 days of school, they had the prize giving ceremony and he bagged the "Best Service Award" (total 10 of them) and the "Excellent Performance for the year Award" (only him) from the ICT group. ICT stands for
Anyway, I digress.
So back to his UPSR results, there it went. The unceremonious results day. We went home pretty much tau-tap-tap, no actually it was me only, as he hopped on to his friend's house to play computer games immediately after! Wtf.
I so hope he would prove to the whole world he could do much better than this in his SPM, which is coming in 5 years' time, not for us, but for himself. People won't care how many As you get for UPSR, but you certainly would want to brag to your own kids how many As you get for your SPM, wouldn't you? Err.. I forgot what I get, but I always told them, it was DAMN GOOD, ok.
And that was pretty much ended officially his primary years and I do wish he would enjoy himself more in the coming secondary years and put more keen interest in his studies.

Don't give up, there are still many examination ahead waiting for kor-kor to excel in.
BTW, those examination can only reflect a person's competence in term of academic wise, can't really show the actual potential of a person.
I think the most important quality the new generation should build is his/her ability to solve the problem effectively and efficiently lo...
Yes, never give up is our motto. :)
You are so right, EQ is so much more important to develop than IQ. That is why it is all A-OK.
*scooping sand*
All my friends who are now CEOs and MDs did not do very well in their exams but they have good EQs and people skills so I think good EQs and people skills are more useful than good academic results.
