The eventual truth we can't escape

Nus results are out today (yesterday actually, cause I took too long to blog!) at 10am for business school. Interestingly, with the advances in technology, there are a couple of ways you could choose to receive the emperor's decree.

Push SMS:

You could register for this service and in the morning... Imagine this. Morning comes around and you open your eyes when you wake up. Instinctively, you reach out for your mobile phone and you see something scary on your phone. Really scary...



CAP Score: ___ / 5.0
Plus all your module grades. Not to worry, you won't see red and get all frightened like what you see in the financial statements.


Now, you have 3 choices.

Number 1: The results are too scary and you decided to plunge back onto your bed and pretend nothing happens. hmm.. Well that will not change anything though. Reality is SET!

Number 2: The results are not too scary and you decide to get out of bed to face reality. Life goes on...

Number 3: Results are Fantastic! you decide to give yourself a day off work and go celebrate! Take an MC and what not. The best birthday gift from the doctor.


Personally, I don't go for this Push SMS service. Ya.. Cause it's just too scary! I don't want it to interrupt into my life! I heard from my friends who subscribed it that it's rather difficult to unsubscribe from it. She tried finding how to but has not found a cure so far. If you subscribe it from year 1 sem 1, that will be at least 6 sems of increased risk for heart attack! Depending if you do your honours, that will be an additional 2 sems. So then, how do I check my results in a safe manner? Option 2.

Results would be out at 10am. You log on to myisis portal, go to self service on the left, click on view my exams results. Why is this less scary? Cause you go through more steps! And you are in control of the clicking. That way, you can be more mentally prepared.

For me, I prefer to check the results only at night so as not to affect my day. I'll pray to God beforehand and learn to trust in Him. It's all in God's hand. So yup. I've finally checked my results last night. Thank God for all He has given.

Now for the crucial short summary!

Push SMS:
Shock rating: 8/10

It's not getting full marks for that yet. If you dream about your results and jump up from your sleep, then realizing it is true, I'll give it shock rating 10/10.

Shock rating: 6/10

That's it! Thanks for reading about the most eventual day this semester! Stay tuned!
