Post common test

Finally brought myself to blogger.com

The past weeks were quite a disaster actually. Supposedly intense mugging but i was quite easily distracted with the TV on and the com just within reach. Honestly all i managed to do during the hols was to do some Chinese, read some chapters of bio textbook, revised Chem and Math.

I didnt know what to do for GP, how to prepare for it, or what homework is there. Missed the email that was sent. Only realised it the day before the paper. The paper was ok.. but i m not confident about it at all. Essay, wrote about whether youths today are more fortunate than youths in the past. The points were pretty easy and hardly used any 'bombastic' words. Just a simple essay. Paper 2 was quite confusing, wasted a lot of time on the first passage, trying to understand everything, and also wasted A LOT of time trying to think of alternative words to use, coz they say USE YOUR OWN WORDS. hate those 4 words.

Chinese, all i did was teng ye xian sheng the practices, still have a mountain of homework to complete. Overall chinese was quite ok for me, it s one of the only hopes for me.

Econs, mugged hard for Demand Supply Price, Elasticity. COP and PC read through and understood everything once but couldnt revise one last time before the exam. But luckily nothing came out for PC and COP only 1 6m qn. Managed to scribble some stuff, the rest were pretty good, but elasticity couldnt finish the essay, only managed to talk about PED, spent too much time on the definitions and stuff.

Chem, just a torture. I read through everything and mugged for topics from the start till chem bonding and then energetics and kinetics. It seems like i understood everything and memorised all the formulae and points one week before but i forgot EVERYTHING before the exam. I had to last minute pia the topics from scratch and try to remember the day before but nothing really went in, especially chem bonding. It was really a torture just to sit through the paper. I had hardly anything to write about in the structured questions segment. Coz all the info i had was in bits and pieces. As for the MCQs, i just have to blame myself for not practising chem much. No time to complete.

Math, was almost late for the paper. Honestly, i did not prepare much for math. All i did was to go through the lecture notes, memorise relavant stuff. And the best thing happened, i just went to sleep and slept for 12 hours till 10 am that morning and i realised i forgot everything AGAIN. All the formula and stuff, had to scramble to try remember and when i look through again, i found some questions i forgot how to do and attempted till no time and didnt finish looking through again, like modulus and graphs. dang. Anyway, i deserve to fail coz i didnt practise at all. Let Mr Tan down.

Bio, 8.30pm to 4.30am straight mugging. Miraculously i managed to cover everything except enzymes. And managed to REMEMBER. oh my. i really pushed my self for that. hopefully it ll yield some good results to compensate chem and math.

After the bio paper, went to kick ball at Potong Pasir Street soccer court. yong pin, wei li, zheng da, timothy, nicholas, jolena, samantha, while hui hui and pamela watched. Didnt play too well, expected, just finished exams, quite rusty. Then went to PS to eat BK, sat there chat, napped then left for training. Hardly did a thing, felt injury coming back.

Went home, Tim came, had dinner, did OCIP transcribing the interview. He stayed over, watched Euro 08 spain vs russia. 3-0. Went back to sleep for a few hours, had breakfast, left for AMK hub. Took cab coz will be too late if take train. Met the rest there and we went to some HDB flats to collect dictionaries, old textbooks and children s storybooks. Was sort of inspired by Cassie s enthusiasm considering that i was the zombie of the day, Tim was quite bad too! and went to every door, knocked, asked politely, and inject some energy into my speech despite having little for myself to last the day. So we collected and sorted out, while i stoned or went to La La land, waiting for the lorry to come. Loaded the stuff and off to Marymount Good Shepard. Lorry ride was fun. Reminds me of rollercoasters.

Unloaded the stuff, and left with Vanessa, Jocelyn and Jing yan since they had to go SMSS while i had to go to Borders to get a book for sis. Miss Orchard! The place i visited almost everyday after school for 4 years, now hardly. Argg.. feel like watching movie..

Saturday, met up with hui hui and yong pin supposedly to do hw but obviously failed. Jing yan suddenly showed up at Nat lib just when we were talking about her. Left the place to make it home for LOTR on TV. One of my movie favs. Gonna catch the last one this coming sat, ooops, recorded this time..

Sunday, cant remember what i did, but it s just slacking till Euro 08 final. Caught the 2nd half. Good match, Torres a gem. As usual zombie the next day, lecture time table, managed to stay awake though. Chionged OCIP stuff till 2am.

Today, settled some new PW stuff and going through phase 1 of ocip. advancing pretty well. PE was quite a failure, but still had some fun with the guys and woei xin the bb pro and the up and coming star pam. I know i suck at BB, but at least there s some improvement. Econs lect was just survey doing and hang man solving. Cassandra was too bored. and i stinked up the CC, all da way till chem. papers returned, screwed up big time. maths was worse but still, Ultramen are my friends for now. Soon they ll take off, soon.. i hope. oh and i hope they take away my burnt skin too. UV rays are cruel! ouch.
