Yay! It's the last day of exam (written paper) for me!! =) For once, I feel so happy not to take chinese! No exam tomorrow! =D
Hmm.. But then I still need to help my brother with a chinese assignment today. (doesn't make much of a difference, does it? Haha.) And I realised that my chinese suck after half a year!! =((
I forgot how to read and write many many words already! D: It's kind of bad, something just like forgetting how to play my piano scales after half a year of not touching my piano!! T_T So sorry to my teachers, seems like their efforts are fruitless! Gah. Empty feeling of guilt.
Anyway, it's the last day of sch exams! A cause for celebration! =D My family had a buffet lunch at RTC today because my father actually had an MC for swollen gums =O and my brother doesn't have CCA and I end my exam in the morning (quite early). Lunch was delicious! I had my stomach crammed so full that I couldn't eat my dinner! Haha.
Hmm, as for the exams, it's surprising that I find majority of the paper quite ok, only that I don't have to stamina to last for 3 hrs and do all the questions at my optimum speed. As a result, I couldn't complete all the 3 3-hrs papers!
Econs was 2.5 hrs and I managed to finish writing the essays, which was quite amazing really, considering that I actually spent only 5 hrs studying for Econs the night before.
Bio was actually quite straightforward compared to nus high's exams which were -_-"" seriously (especially for evolution). However, the pro me always fail to concentrate at the end of 2 hrs. So in the middle of the bio paper I can just stone and think about what I'm going to have for lunch (!!!). I lost around 20 marks because of this, 20 marks not attempted. D: [which is a sad case, really. The questions are not THAT hard.]
Maths paper yesterday was kind of challenging, considering that I only got a probational pass for seq & series module last yr, and this whole mid yr paper tests us on this topic and graphs (which I have an equal distaste for). So in the end I lost around 10 marks, because I can't think of the conjecture and my brain really can't think for the last half an hour, during which I keep fiddling with my ever-so-'temperamental' GC which gives me all kinds of wierd graph! =X
Chem paper today was quite ok, actually, except for one sub question that I really really don't know how to do [3 marks], about chem bonding, and it reminds me of mr chong (-gasps-). Another 8 marks were lost because, as usual, I have no stamina to last for 3 hrs!! Today I keep thinking of going to the toilet in the last half an hour instead of food! -_-""
Oh wells. Moral of story: I'm NOT exam-savvy AT ALL and I'm a really really UNFOCUSED and BAD PLANNER in EXAMS. T_T Lost sooo many marks just because I cannot finish! Sad case la. Sigh. I've just got to get use to sitting for 3 hrs papers! It's mentally draining la. =( During this period of time I wish that I can go back to sit for nus high end of module exam which only lasts for 2 hrs maximum!! (how I wish.)
Hmm. Next up: violin exam, then chem and bio SPA. Got to BUCK UP. Because it's A Levels PRACTICAL. Cannot afford to get distracted. =s Luckily they're not 3 hrs papers. Haha.
On a side note, it's really amazing, but I find that studying for nus high's exams are easier than for this mid-yr exams though I've actually covered most of the topics (in this semester) before. I guess the reason is that nus high is modular based and go more in depth, allowing my brain to connect whatever I've learnt in one piece, whereas for this mid year exams, the topics tested are a lot, and not as in depth. So it's sort of like, one piece here, another unlinking piece of information there. Quite destructive to my poor brain cells. =x
Okok.. shall stop all my reminiscence!! No more NUS high pls pls pls. It makes me feel sad. =(( Leaving my precious friends behind, who somehow give me more motivation to study (though it's much harder) than my friends now. CHARIS!!!!!!!! SZE MIN!!!!!!!!!!!! gulabi. joy. eeleng. florence. [1 person less to bitch about. jkjk..] :'( Leaving the good teachers behind, i.e. Miss cheng and DR WONG. omg, you have no idea how much impact dr wong has made to my life. My life of music. And miss cheng, making me mathematically inspired. =)) Yes, I miss you 2. Leaving the nice big spacey environment behind. Leaving the clean, windy, high tech bio & chem labs behind [NOT phy lab]. Leaving the ever-so-small (smallest) mentor class size of 17 students only. XD Leaving li lao shi (who scolds us occasionally out of anxiety xD) behind. Ok, fine, shall stop here. Making me sadder still.
Oh wells, I should just leave my past behind, behind me, behind the back of my memory, behind the actions of my everyday life. Life should just carry on. That being said, I should not bring up the fact that I'm from NUS high any longer, and I SHOULD NOT COMPARE my present with the past. Therefore, nus high, physics, music modules with dr wong, piano should be non-existent in my life now. [all except my precious friends who are too dear to forget.]
LIFE SHOULD JUST START AFRESH. yay. I'll BE THE NEW ME AFTER MID -YEAR EXAMS ARE OVER. JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE. =))
