IT was a happy day for cousins Gayathiri Chandran and Villasini Rajamoney, both aged 12, after the UPSR results were released last Thursday. <\/p>\n

\n Smiling from ear to ear, both of them had obtained 7As in the UPSR examinations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Manesh:<\/b> 'I was overjoyed when I saw the results slip'<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Growing up and living together in the same home, the cousins attended SJK (T) Saraswathy, Sun-gai Buloh. <\/p>\n

\n “We were very hardworking and our parents guided us and bought us many books,” said Gaya-thiri.  <\/p>\n

\n “I'm really happy that both of us got straight As.” <\/p>\n

\n Equally elated, Villasini was quick to credit the individuals who played a part in their success. <\/p>\n

“Our teachers were very dedicated in revision classes and motivation talks by former top scorers at the Sri Murugan Centre (SMC) helped us as well,” she said. <\/p>\n

Confident in obtaining good results from the start, the cousins constantly balanced their revision time with a game of badminton to lighten the mood. <\/p>\n

\n The aspiring doctors celebrated their good results at their family gathering in Port Dickson on Saturday. <\/p>\n

\n It was also a joyous moment for Manesh Shagar, 12, of SJK (T) HICOM, Shah Alam as he scored 7As as well. <\/p>\n

\n “I was overjoyed when I saw the results slip,” he enthused.  <\/p>\n

\n “I was surprised to do so well as I found the Science paper quite tough.”  <\/p>\n

An active sportsman whose idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, Manesh is another student who benefited from the extra classes and talks at SMC. <\/p>\n

SMC is a project of the Centre for Social and Cultural Advance-ment of Malaysian Indians to im-prove the socio economic position of Malaysian Indians through education. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
