Chronicles of the world from my perspective.

A Quick Update

Wednesday, April 19, 2006


since I havent updated since the Additional Maths Common Test and it is a week plus or so, I shall update again!

Maths

despite preparing for it, I still failed the A Maths Common Test. my dislike for maths has been fueled by the disappointing results time and again.

I never liked maths since Primary 4 but at least I managed to pull through most of them with a pass. but since this year started, it hadn't quite been the case.

now with Additional Maths on top of the already rather messed-up Elementary Maths, I am even more confused and pressurised.

shyam telling us that the maths papers are not going to be easy does not boost my morale much either.

I really hope both my maths can somehow improve. peers around me excel in maths but I do not. knowing the importance of maths, I guess I will need tuition or drop Additional Maths soon so I would not end up in the likes of ITE just because of this pesky thing called maths.

Mid-Year Examinations

enough about maths now. I can wallow in self-pity for another two hours thinking about it.

mid-year examinations is coming real soon. time really flies. I have been wearing long pants in school for almost half a year already! looking back, yes, wearing long pants is much better than shorts. heh.

next friday we will commence the slew of examinations with English. the only thing that really freaks me out is Maths. A Maths comes right after Geography (second paper, May 2nd) and E Maths is split into two days.

dont know if soh beng seng has a hole in his head or something. why would anyone set two papers for one subject on different days. I think his shiny head is supposed to tell something

*prays hard no teachers are reading*

the last paper is Biology. soh bs is real smart. putting the paper requiring the most memory work to the last day when we are somewhat in post-exam mood, making the cohort fail the paper. schools are evil I tell you.

*prays really hard no teachers nor anyone from school steering committee is reading*

anyway, I will be reflecting on each of the papers like what I did since Mid-Year Exams in Secondary 1. though expect more sob stories this time due to the increased difficulty of the papers.

Post-MYE and JC/Poly stuff

after exams I really want to unwind and take a break from the drone of studying, even for a while. this 4 months or so had been a really long time, the amount of new things learnt is equivalent of the entire Secondary 2 year.

I need some time to sort things out before continuing on the road leading towards the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level). the name is taken off MOE website so it must be correct.

I cant imagine how my revision will be like for the second half of next year. this is making me really afraid. if their "Ordinary" level is already this bad, their Advanced level has got to be murderous.

I am thinking about going to a poly and Ngee Ann Polytechnic's School of InfoComm Techonology comes to my mind immediately. damn that iTechOne competition.

what is supposed to be a short entry turned out to be real long. since I havent crapped for a while, this is a great release from the pre-exam stress.

if you got this far, congratulations. now go on with your revision =)
