Despicable me

HOW BLIND CAN I GET???!!!!
Not seeing the words "volume of 300cm3" for paper 1 was bad enough.
Not seeing the word probability as well for paper 2?!
I despise myself for losing marks not because i cannot do the paper but because i was stupidly careless. When will i learn to be more careful?!
KILL ME!!! (I'm freaking scared that because of these stupid careless mistakes, i would lose my A for math.)

The world today

My mom received a call this afternoon saying that i was kidnapped. She said there was a girl in the background crying and shouting, "Mummy, come and save me!!!" Know what she did? She scolded the person and ended the call.

So, what i want to say is that, don't panic if you receive such a call in the future. DON'T PANIC!!! Most probably it is all a scam. This is the second time my mom has received such a call. The first time was someone calling to say that my brother was beaten up. There are many syndicates out there trying to make a quick buck by preying on our emotions (when we are worried we tend not to think clearly and would more likely fall prey to their scheming), so the least we could do to protect ourselves is to keep calm. Do not give out your name when they ask for it. Do not divulge any personal information. JUST KEEP CALM, and figure things out.

I need to learn how to stop making careless mistakes for math=(

Exceeding Expectations.

Misery loves company. The first thing everyone did after Chem paper today was to ask a question along the lines: "The paper was a killer, right?" And when everyone agreed, they would breathe a sigh of relief and hope the bell curve does its job.

JY called me after Chem paper today. And after a hello, he started laughing. LOL. It was pretty funny how words were not needed to express the shock we all received today.

Not only me, not only him, but practically every H2 student taking Chem in Singapore had a not so pleasant surprise. The paper was way way tougher than that of previous years. Even though there was a mutual agreement that the paper was tough, i do not feel better about it. I did not expect myself to feel this way after an A Level paper, tto feel as if i didn't answer all the questions confidently. Honestly, this felt worse than prelims. Sighs. And what's more, this is just the first paper.

Cambridge, i salute you. You really do know how to surprise us. I have no choice but to look forward to tomorrow's surprises. Hopefully it will be a pleasant one!

And the battle begins

I actually had a dream about A Levels! It wasn't a very pleasant one though=( Dreamt about chem and math. I guess, that shows you how i feel about those two subjects. (Haven't studied chem at all and chem is tomorrow! Am gonna finish studying it today!! Not like i have a choice though.) Sighs. It's tomorrow! But yes, it needs to come before it can be over. I will face it chin-up, whether or not i am fully prepared!

On a brighter note, i had my first skype conference call last night, with a bunch of super high people. It's amazing and ironic how you guys going off to somewhere further actually brought us closer. I guess there is some universal truth in the line: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Too bad my internet was giving me problems though. It was fun!! We should definitely do that again!!

Towards the end.

I dread the first week of A Levels! I wish my timetable wasn't that sucky. For heaven's sake, starting with Chem paper 3 is bad enough, but GP and Bio on the same day? With math the next two days? This is just too much! But ok, i shall not complain. There are worse timetables out there. (For example ppl with the bio, chem, math, ell combi. It's like all subjects in the first week!) I can't wait for all this to end! I can't wait to go home!!! But as usual, i dread packing=( But before all that, there's still the BIG As and the SAT subject tests waiting for me!

40+/- more days is all what's left of 4 years.

Happy Deepavali!

简单与幸福

小时候，幸福是件很简单的事；
长大后，简单是件很幸福的事。

6 days and counting!

My roommate goes to sleep at 6am, which means that throughout the night, she leaves her table lamp on. And guess what?! I can't sleep with the light on!!! =( It never used to bother me before. But right now, i just can't sleep(well)! I think i need to buy that thing to block out light to my eyes. (yea, i don't know what that thing is called.) You know what i am talking about..
