[Skeeta]

There was a thread a while ago saying ridiculous things parents would get their kids if they got 90+ (or over a certain mark)

Who got that mark and is now living in a penthouse at the playboy mansion??

nah seriously did you all get what you were promised??

 

[Acid]

A good education was a pretty sufficient motivator for me.

 

[Skeeta]

yeah it was enough for me too.. cept my daddy bought me flowers and my fave choc yesterday

but some people were getting promised cars, money, overseas trips etc.
Im wondering whether the promise actually followed through.

[acmilan]

I feel guilty asking them for anything especially since they paid for my education and will be paying for uni.

my dads paying for uni..........and he got me a laptop (for uni).....yeh.......thats it..........however my parents have gone nuts with pride.........they tell everyone and anyone they see wat i got........and today dad went a bought a frame and cut out the part in the honour roll list that had my name in it and framed it n stuck it in the lounge room...........how embarrassing.....n i only got 94.10.........i wonder what they wouldve done if i got 98+ like the rest of u........

My parents said I'd get a new bass if I did well. They didn't clarify what 'well' meant, but I got 93, so I want that new bass.

Haha, I got above 99 and my dad delivered me 5 tonnes of potting mix to shovel and make a new garden. Extended family is quite ecstatic.

It's still pretty cool to see our parents really proud and all.

WOW..at least my parent haven't done tat..but some friend of their's suggest take the news paper overseas and show relatives..faint!!! and some suggest buy few more copies....faint again!!!

 

[absolution*]

My parents are too tight-arsed to buy me anything. I only tried because im overtly competitive and like bragging.

 

[brookalyn]

my mum bought me choccies for finishin the hsc!! and some yummy stuff from the bakery too!! lol she knew food would make me happy lol knows me too well!!

But she got a mini voice tape recorder wen i got accepted to uni, it was already wrapped and ready to go when i checked principals rec on dec 3, she has such faith in me, gotta love her!!

 

[smegthehead]

my dad is buying me a bottle of JD, but thats only because he's overseas at the moment and thought he should pick me up something duty free

 

[kentukey]

i don't know what will be going on?!

my parents promised me that if i can get 95+, they will buy a laptop for me ,now i got 97.50, but it seems that everything is still going on, neither of them mentioned that, damn ,hey?!

 

[Melody]

My sister told me she would give me her iPaq if I go well, think she recanted somewhere along the line... Not sure what well is though, I wanted 90+, but if I had actually done some form of study at any point in the year/not done night and morning before jobs I could have gone 97+. Thing is, my sister and I ended up getting the same UAI - 88.95, though hers was three years previous, she always claims she did "well", though she also claims she got 90 which is bs....

 

[rainonmay]

my parents didnt promise me anything if i get over a certain mark... but my dad asked me wot i wanted and i dunno coz they already planned to buy me a second-hand car for finishing the hsc.... i dont relli want or need much else... a laptop sounds good tho....... mayb i can persuade him to buy it...
