I had a enjoyable escape from reality yesterday evening. i happened to pick up a book on Sherlock Holmes, and subsequently spent the rest of the evening immersed into 19th century London and 221B Baker Street, watching the master sleuth and his clueless sidekick Dr Watson trash the London Police infinity:nil in the investigations department. Honestly i've always wondered what Sherlock Holmes would do if he lived instead in the 21st century. Back in the 19th century they didn't even know the significance of fingerprints. Of course his incarnations today are many and varied, and he has been ressurected by authors like Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock and others. Still the charm and igneguity the original posesses still endears him to many people. Hats off to writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...too bad we didn't do him as a groundbreaker.

Today we got back our promo results and i had mixed feelings. I did well enough to promote and hopefully retain my Alpha, but the results aren't that great.

Total rank points: 61.25 out of 80

That ain't so great. But its an improvement from midyear when my rank points was only 33. still its lousy enough. I was hoping for a better score at chemistry but considering i studied last minute, not much can be demanded.

I managed to make the grade or miss the grade by a bit for all subjects. so quite heng in that sense. But I must improve by a lot to get back good grades.

Well its over. Really thank God that all of this has passed and I can promote. For a few months I was constantly worrying if i would retain. Thankfully God is always faithful.

Now time to chiong PW and Chinese which I really must clear at all costs.

Oh dear how i wish i was sherlock holmes. That man is a born genius.
