My Prelim results are less than stellar. Even so, I did get 3 Distinctions, and was close to getting a 4th one too. ^^b

EL: A1. It wasn't a very high A1 though. Still, it's such a struggle to even get an A1 for English (I've not gotten an A1 in a major exam since Sec 2, if I recall correctly) so I'm pretty much happy with it. (:

HMT: C5. Paper 1 was so horribly done, that I didn't get my usual B4 grade. O:

E MATHS: C6. Damn it. D:

A MATHS: Trust me, if I passed, it'd be the biggest shocker of my entire Sec 4 life.

BIO: A2. Was expecting a minimum grade of B4 considering that I only studied HALF of it (chose to focused more on Chem instead). Pretty impressive for me to get his grade, huh? XD

CHEM: C5. Such a disappointment. And I worked so hard for it too! O: Shouldn't have neglected Bio and gotten an A1 instead u.u

SS: A1. I did an SEQ that I didn't even STUDY for Prelims! Paying attention in class does miracles, I tell you. ;D

LIT: B3. Could've gotten an A if not for poor time management. Spent too much time on the Montag essay (which was well-written, by the way XD) that I had to rush through the poem essay. D:

{COMBINED HUMANS: A2}

ECONS: B3. Just a bit more to an A2 though. It's such an improvement from CT II, as I failed it then. (:

I was quite easily annoyed for the most of today. I actually do have quite a temper you know, though it's very much suppressed during school hours. Perhaps it's because my tolerance level for my schoolmates is much higher than it is for my family members. But I do acknowledge that there's someone (okay, TWO people actually) in school that I seem to be permanently miffed at these days.

Another great source of mild chronic irritation is the pills I have to take! God, I AM SO SICK OF IT. u.u

On a lighter note, I can't wait for my prom dress to arrive! XD

New skin, new Url.

Why? Because I feel like it. Call it a girl's whim. ;D

Anyway, the dreaded Prelims are over, which means that the dreaded Os are nearing even more than ever. u.u Time for an evaluation on how the papers were...

• EL: God, who on earth came up with the essay topics for Paper 1? Yes, I know I've already expressed my displeasure in a previous post; still, I didn't like that paper AT ALL. Paper 2 was easier than expected though. :)


• SS: Moral of the story - Just drop one theme, not two. ;___; And I think the SBQ done wasn't my best. :/


• HMT: I think my usual B4 is coming my way. Not that I mind. :3 [But honestly, I can't remember what the papers were like; it was too long ago.]


• E MATH: I think I lived up to my expectations. Which means that it was pretty good. ^^v


• A MATH: Like, WHY DO I EVEN SHOW UP FOR THE PAPER?


• LIT: Lucky I did that essay question before. (: But...might not be my best.


• ECONS: Essay questions were wonderful, case study sucked. I think the MCQs were pretty okay.


• CHEM: Paper 1 was tricky. Seriously. Paper 2 might make up for it though. *remains hopeful*


• BIO: *waves my usual distinction goodbye* That's what I get for neglecting it in favour for Chem P2. Paper 1 was today and I made a careless error. O:

And I had my EL Oral Exam as well, with the topic on the elderly. Reading started out fine, but I had no idea why I fumbled on the word persuasion. It was a slip of the tongue, I swear. Picture discussion also went alright, though I was a little annoyed when the examiner interrupted me to ask about a certain part of the picture. (To examiner: Hey, I was going to get there, okay! Geez.) The conversation was the best part, I think. It involved quite a fair bit of me bullshitting my way through, but they'll never know that. 8D Hah.

Oh, and then there was the NE Quiz. God, it was so fun! XD I admit, some questions left me clueless, but I so enjoyed the building process. You're looking at Miss Expert Builder here! :DD

Well, next Monday, we're going on a Bio excursion to the Yakult Factory. :3 Man, Bio has such cool little field trips. First to the Botanical Gardens, now to the Yakult Factory! I don't see the Physics students visiting anywhere Kidding! *imagines a whole mob of Phy students running after me with bricks*

Can you believe August is nearly ending? And fasting starts next month! O:

On hiatus. Just wait after Biology Paper 1 this Friday.

Hopefully. ;D

I was certainly unlucky for today's Social Studies prelim paper. x___x Not to mention that yesterday's essay topics for English Paper 1 was so blah.

....Lack of words today for this post. u.u

Oh, and Haz, I WANT MY WEDDING INVITATION! ;DDD

♥ 9:56 pm

Yesterday, Haz accompanied me to Borders bookstore at Wheelock Place to look for Romance Vol 1. Remember the writing competition I mentioned about, with the genre being romance? Well, last year's top entries were published in Romance Vol 1, and it was recommended for interested participants to have a look at the stories to see the type of stories the judges like, and basically the standard they are looking for.

Well, we did find it (thanks to the help of a friendly Borders employee over at the information counter) and the book was purchased in the end. :p I have to say, the judges sure like sappy work. Personally, I find that the third-prize winning work was better than the first-prize work. Hah.

Still, on the way home, I got not one, but TWO ideas for the piece I hope to submit. It's gotten me really excited about this whole competition! :3 I told my ideas to my sis, and she definitely thought it was good. (Just so you know, my sis is notoriously blunt about my work. If she doesn't like it, she'll say it. Period.)

Will probably start typing it all out after the last Prelim paper (which is Bio, the unfairness of it all. u.u), as the deadline for all submitted entries is 30 Aug. Good thing I basically have all the details, characters, conclusion etcetcetc all mapped out in my head. I love my mind. ;D
