Congratulations to the SDC winners…
Aug 7
From the title of this post you could probably tell how disappointed I am.
EDIT [8/9]: Thanks for all your encouraging words, guys, I feel way much better and more motivated now. I think too much.
EDIT [8/8]: I can’t believe I forgot to plug a link to the results post. OK there you go.
You might think that Potassium only didn’t win anything. Well, worse. It received absolutely NO points at all!
Here are the winners:
- SandPress by Arpit Jacob was the champion, scoring 26 points in total.
- Moo-Point by Will Wilkins placed second, with 23 points.
- Prima by Sunaryo Hadi came in third, with 19 points.
My utmost congratulations to the three of you. You did well.
Alright, if you don’t mind reading what I have to say for myself:
I’m just so disappointed with myself because it feels so much like I’m representing Singapore for the SDC, but Potassium scored zero. I never expected myself to win anything anyway, but I’m exasperated at my score.
I still feel I’ve let the rest of Singapore down. And besides, National Day’s in just a couple days. Plus, coupling all that with the fact that there aren’t exactly many Singaporean WordPress or free software advocates (or are there really many? AFAIK there aren’t many PHP developers here), I just feel overwhelmingly terrible… *sigh*
Also, I’ve just gotten dismissed from school *points to the post time*, but I checked for the scores during English class. Miss Law had brought us to the school library so I decided to seek permission from her to use the computers. And yes, my book report is only half-complete. Or a little bit more than that. Whatever, it’s still incomplete anyway.
I’m lucky I wasn’t after the money or I would’ve stopped blogging once and for all, srsly.
I’m sorry, Singapore. Happy early 42nd birthday. And I’m not in the mood for any Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy jokes.
If you’d like to console me, sure, just leave a reply right below. I’ll be glad to reply, just don’t expect me to be friendly if you aren’t.

@Daniela: I’ll keep working at it
@Ian: That was in 1993, good sir. Web design wasn’t that big yet
Congrats on Essay by the way (rhyme).
@Jennifer: ‘Lordie’? o.o”
Yeah, I keep forgetting that effort is what matters, thanks for reminding me of it. And Wrock It is a really cute theme.
@BAA: Before you know it your school will be bogging you down with web design lessons.
I gladly appreciate all your encouragement, you all rock.
Honestly, I think I’ve just been thinking too much. I was kinda stressed stacking the results with schoolwork when I was typing all I wanted to in this post so I guess I wasn’t exactly watching what I wrote.
And no I’m not a sore loser nor am I trying to be one

Brush it off BoltClock. Like Ian said with the skills you are already developing you will be crushing us old farts in no time.
