[@achantameghana428]

I was surprised by fauzi's report card

[@leroy_2167]

My grades are exactly the same as q in primary 4

[@leroy_2167]

U should try the part Two but different primary and secondary levels and different people

[@leroy_2167]

Try Chris, Julian and Alison !

[@themairas123]

ILY TSL!!!!

[@randommalegamer]

the edits when Jon was talking at the end was hilarious xD

[@epiphadipity]

Omg the ending edit for Jon LOL. And yes I'm an early bloomer too. Pri school A for everything then sec school fail everything HAH.

[@epiphadipity]

OkxyClaire LOL. Okay well I’m 23 this year and doing my degree now, after poly. But you still need to put in effort to try to pass! I miraculously passed everything for my Os after studying my butt off (although I got a C6 for Chem but hey still better than F9). Just know that although O levels really doesn’t mean shit, but you still need to try your best cause it still dictates 5% of your life hahah! Jiayous for O levels me friend~

[@raosei6496]

For me it's the opposite. Primary school I sucked at math, mostly bc I never understood fractions 😂 But once I got to sec my math suddenly got great and I got A. Even managed to go to O level math.

[@user-qc2fo4ix6p]

Haha im like A* everything then P6 my science died then the rest A exceot fir math for math i get A*

[@koifish4276]

I get A for everything now I’m P6 I think I’m gonna fail PSLE sia

[@airis7046]

@@koifish4276 dun worry lah...psle damn ez one, if can get A normally, can get A* for psle!

[@DarkwearGT]

[@valerie5298]

Do more of these!! Moral of the story: no exams can define a person's intelligence and success in life

[@idkidk3378]

Valerie C Not totally correct... It defines your academic intelligence

[@paganini4769]

@@idkidk3378 But it doesn't define your success

[@musiccentury6038]

This was a fun episode. Do a part 2 with other TSL personalities! PS: Before watching this video, I thought it would have smth to do with the #lifebeyondgrades

[@Faerothie]

Adria, Xenia, and Q all in one video? LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@noahinfinityx553]

and Joyce O:

[@AdenPhua]

Never liked studying. Was good in primary, bad in secondary, decided to study in poly. Almost gave up in university. But in the end thank god managed to graduate from university. All the best everyone! Exactly like what jon said, results doesn't determine where you will be in life.

[@khhthuiting]

Loved this episode. This made life feel so real and seeing how each of them bloomed made me feel like I can do my best too.:) More of these with other tsl peeps pls HHAHA

[@smallboss1826]

[@fedoramiaza6714]

It’s amazing that you all have different grades but the same job. Thus grades don’t matter as much as the hard work you do.

[@ershad3715]

Next do psle results

[@AnimalsSlay]

[@dyanaalya725]

[@yzeuthium]

Part 2 lets go! Missing Ra, Chris, Alison and John

[@jayyy2249]

Do a video of them reacting to their psle marks and their grades btw this video was amazing ☺

[@NupplesRampage]

Ni men hao, my fellow bananas. Xenia's comment "As a chinese, he should feel embarrassed of himself." Omg la. Pain. Heart. Halp.

[@RonLarhz]

It's true what. No need fancy just normal/everyday usage also cannot...

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

Nice logic she has.

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

Being Singaporean of Chinese descent/ heritage. We should be putting Singaporean identity first then our heritage/ancestry. It is totally fine not to speak Mandarin well. Firstly, Most of Singaporean of Chinese descent from the south of China which don't speak Mandarin. If you are not from Mandarin-speaking household you will have a hard time picking up that language. However, if you went to public school for 10 years and not able to speak a 2nd language, it is sad. If i were to follow by her logic, it is better to speak a Mandarin which is a common tongue(中文/普通话) in China whereas speaking Ancestral language/ dialect which has many Singaporeans perceive as a rich part of their Chinese culture has also led to a weakening of the Chinese cultural base in Singapore and a sense of loss of an intrinsic part of their identity among Singaporean Chinese not as important than knowing how to speak MANDARIN . Compared to dialects, Mandarin lacked association with their personal past and had little relevance to the local Chinese communities they grew up in. Thus, the attempt to force a common mother tongue of Mandarin upon the Chinese community was seen by many as an act of imposing a non- existent homogeneity and common identity among Chinese in Singapore

[@RonLarhz]

@@WTiDeadlyfury Singaporean is identity,chinese is heritage. And singaporeans r known to be effectively bilingual. U slapping ownself? Nobody true born will say they r chinese singaporean but singaporean chinese. So all these just comes off as huge excuse to not know your mother tongue. Lol

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

I am able to speak Mandarin, Hokkien, Hainanese and English.
