Sad

Feeling real sad now. Thanks to Maths common tests. A Maths was bad. I had the most confidence in the subject coz i practised a lot of it but in the end only got 21/40. Screwed up. Cant believe just 3 careless mistakes cost me 10 marks. It s a chain reaction. For 3 questions, i got the first part wrong because of stupid mistakes like eg. 2y-x=4 also equals to y=-0.5x+2. Just one bloody minus sign screwed the question up. I could have gotten 30 + /40 if not for these mistakes. E Maths is worse.

The first question for E Maths is about some speed question. I tried to apply what i learned from A Maths and to be careful. Ok, careful i was. Every step i wrote, i checked. But the first question, i made another mistake but managed to see it and change but had to change all the other parts as well. That question wasted about 10 or 15min of a 45 min paper. Then i looked at the clock. Oops. Shit, no time ald. I started to panic, but look at the question, easy vectors. Do do do. Until the second last part. See the question like got problem. Just right, Mr. Dominic Ang came in and say got a mistake in the question. I looked at the clock and this time, really panicked. I was feeling damn hot but my hands were freezing. Left with about 15 min. I spent half an hour on less than 2 questions!!! Did the transformation qn,drew the rectangle and saw reflection line y=x. I was trying to do as fast as possible and made a blunder. I thought x=0 and drew the line and screwed everthing up. I was panicking real bad. And continued to make stupid careless mistakes and then the 3rd part of the question, i realised my transformation was out of the graph paper!!! Omg, i realised i m screwed. It was ald 45min. I skipped that and moved to the easier next 2 questions and again again. Carelessness!!!! Angle got it wrong and then i did the final trigo qn but couldnt finish. at least i could do it without making mistakes. The invigilatot was Mr Lam and he was kind enuff to give us extra 5 min due to the mistake. At the end, i knew i was screwed and calculated minus about 15 marks and was ald prepared for the worse. Never in my life i got so pathetic results for E Maths. 18/40.

I finally know my problem but i dunno how to solve it.

Problem: When make a mistake, either waste time to correct it OR forget about it and minus marks. When time wasted, panic and make more mistakes. Damn

i thought this time, sciences might save me. I spent more time on sciences than other subjects. Physics i didnt expect to get so low, 22.5/40. Left last page blank and made quite a number of mistakes in MCQ. Damn stupid.

Phy problem: Always make mistake in MCQ and always spend the most time in this section, leaving section B less time.

Bio is next. This one is decent. The paper was pretty easy and i excelled in MCQ. 13/15. first time. seems like my problem for bio is Section B gotta mug in more detail and get the key points.

Havent know Chem and Humanities. But for Chem i think can pass. I could do almost all the questions in ease. I scared careless again. Humanities i screwed up SS. Only did 1 inference and 2nd question 1st part. Can only amass like max 6 marks/12. Thats considered good compared to some others. I did geog section first. So i vomitted everthing out and hope to hit the right key point. Shouldnt be bad. 70% chance pass. Hope i m right.

Enought of common tests. They caused so much problems. And thanks to them, i have made up my mind and WILL STICK TO IT. I have been quite lenient with myself with the rules i made at the start of the year. BUT this time i m serious. Dead serious. NO COM, NO SOCCER street and field. TV 1 hour max a day except Wed or Thur (barclay EPL highlights may tape). Maybe slot in another half hour to watch Chinese News at 10 to improve chinese. Got those subtitles there so will be helpful.

Sorry soccer peeps. I m OFFICIALLY retiring from football after the last match against Unity people in 2 weeks. And i will never visit the street soccer court unless got some NCC thingy or sth else. I may allow myself to play again maybe for a short while if there s inter unit. That s ALL. I m not gonna jeopardize my future because of something called a BALL.

wef after last Team Slayers match.

On the final note, i would like to first apologize to Team Slayers if they have a match and i m not present and also to soccer maniacs and frequent visitors of the SJI street soccer court as i would bluntly turn you down if you ask me to visit that place again.
