why do i hate taking geog papers... coz mr yeo always make me feel like whatever i studied for is a waste. if not for wx telling me to study chpt 10, 11 i think i will just die there. din even understand or know how to do the hydro qn part b partly coz nv study. then litho only know how to do the mass movement one. the OR part is screwed (looks like a trap) so din bother.

even the DRQ was irritating. aint difficult but super tedious other than 2(i) and 4 last part whiich in my opinion can go and die. but still had to spam writing. strangely i wrote till my leg was numb -.- dun know why.

if u are wondering what's the ans for 2(i) it is....... convergence.

f***!!!!?!?!?!

i'm gonna hate nxt week more. all my weakest link in each subj
maths stats.
geog human.
econs case study.
phy mcq.

out of which i have nv really passed any of each segment everytime an exam comes...
fine with the exception of human geog but i always scrap that one due to old man...

i heard miracles do happen. i pray this time will be one. my papers so far are still in the acceptable std range. dun let it fall and i think promo grades wld be attainable :)

i hate globalisation. i hate global warming.

econs can might as well go kick to the drain again...
yesterday i still tot i had the whole morn today to study for my intl trade. i saw the timetable wrongly and mistook nxt week's paper as this week. luckily i double checked last nite before i went to slp. and to my horror its in the morn! so din study the entire intl trade at all... and my macro btw was considered skimming and browsing not even read not more revise.

and guess what... i decided to do the globalisation qn just now. as i was in need for time, and was practically scribbling every last word onto the paper by the time i finished the 2nd essay i just picked which ever that was freshest in my mem which btw is intl trade coz i read it just before assembly. screwed.

at least the other 2 qn wasn't as bad as i tot maybe other than qn 2 which seem very risky coz its on patent and monopoly and patent aint really in detail in the notes. but well i did manage to smoke 4+ pg out of it though. like heidi klum from project runway puts it, u are either in or u are out... from the point i see it, i really think so. coz not sure whether write correctly. pros and cons analysis of setting up a patent. why patent leading to monopoly is gd and why it can be bad hence we shld shorten it. as for the other qn, its the typical market failure qn on public and merit gd so that shld be safe.

now for geog tmr. hopefully it will be the true lifesaver. but wx says global warming impt according to W. so sian...

bye.

MATHS...

maths aint that bad but it aint that fantastic either. super tedious and almost everyone had to use up the max 3h to barely finish the paper. i think it shld be ok bah considering i made meticulous effort to make sure those i know how to do had no careless mistakes and so far all the ans i checked arnd seems to be the same as others so i pray can get a B or if God willing even an A *cross fingers* haha ( B seems more likely but A is a glimmer of hope. slim chance but hey if poss who doesn't want an A) but then again must n't keep hopes too high. for the higher u aim, the harder u crash. lol. we shall wait and see yah... based on stats it seems very possible for a B yet that was what i say all the time before seeing my grades crash due to carelessness zzz... well its over and no matter what the results, nothing can be done to change it. other than brushing up on paper 2 to secure the grade pfft...

tmr the fengshui paper. econs. hopefully this time got feng got shui (lately rainy and windy, ok this is really bull lol) then can do decent. just let me scrap a D or E and i'll be satisfied. market structure, market failure, and macro. no more dd/ss for me. i scared alr. that one esp the elasticity concepts damn troublesome. yes easy but too much to write and too little time. so no way. ok now back to econs... market failure and a bit of macro before dinner and the rest by tonite before Heroes! destress a bit haha. 2 more months and it'll be over and all that books can burn to hell for all i care

why do all difficult maths questions only pop out on the day before the exam?? hate it when ppl ask me qn i dunno how to do... it wld greatly erode the confidence i took pains to build up for the past month. strange isn't it, how one qn can make u feel like u will fail though u had prev done hundreds of qn and got them correct in the end.

HOW? MY WHOLE PRELIMS I TOT I CAN BANK ON GEOG AND MATHS!

now i'm srly having doubts... wif everything 'ban tong shui'

frankly speaking i only wish those 2 do well, the rest can screw up for all i care. coz econs depends on feng shui de while phy haven even touch zzz...

i pray for strength and courage. not to be put off by these small little obstacles and focus on the big pic :)

i think this is literally "lin shi bao fo jiao" lol.

prelims tmr. wonderful life.

101 things i wanna do and the 1 thing i dun wanna do

let's go with the easy one. the one thing i dun wanna do is...
STUDY THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN LIKE SOME SPOILT TAPE RECORDER...


now the more tempting one. the 101 things i wanna do. fine maybe not really 101 but u get the idea haha. these are just the top 10 on my list. in no specific order...

1) burn up all the notes and not see it for the rest of my life. i think i have enough of F=ma (fine maybe not really phy coz i didnt touch it at all but i'm still quite sick of it ) , complex no. AD/AS curve for a lifetime. fine maybe geog aint that bad but i still hate reading the global notes mr ng gave. not planning to do the essay on global for prelims and A's. catch no balls out of it.

2) learn a musical instrument. pref a guitar :) said that since sec 4 but nv really got the will power to even sign up for classes org by e sch. this however is gonna be a real uphill task coz i was nv really musically incline since the days of pri sch. i cant even get the hang of a recorder :P was always a sports person since young lol.

3) compile all the photos, cards, small little momentos of my life and either put it into a photo album or display it nicely on a shelf

4) go overseas with frens or even alone. just wanna explore and see the world a bit before entering army to become a bush man living in the jungle

5) finally get my own room at the new house :) personal space haha

6) start to exercise. run, swim, gym, play some sports etc i realise that i'm allergic to a sedentry lifestyle. ever since db and kayaking stop, i will have this running nose thing almost every alt day. however its not that i dun wan to exercise but lately its more that time dun permit...

7) learn wakeboarding. seems cool also another unfinished dream this time since j1 where i always hated the wakeboarders who made the waters so choppy always making me feel like capsizing on my pathetic kayak. this time i wanna be on the other party hehehe

8) finally sit down and read a book for leisure. something i dun remember doing ever since i read finished harry potter and the deathly hallows.

9) meet up wif all my old frens and just chill out. haven seen a lot of them in ages.

10) get a job and then use it to buy myself a new ear piece and up-grade my ipod. too little mem to fit all my songs. and i've been living with only one side of a ear piece for like a month now... though it doesnt really affect me that much but yah its nicer to have to listen to a song using BOTH ears haha

well now back to reality. yah i know it hurts but we cant be dreaming of all the things we want to do in the future and forget that there is an impending prelim and A level in 3 and 54 days time respectively... must ć…ˆè‹ŠćŽç”œ as my mum always puts it. then again to think that i gotta be stuck in that ugly swamp uniform for 2yrs aint really that pleasant too. but i sure am looking forward to the period after A's and before NS haha. FOR FUN AND BLISS!

ms ho

"ms karena ho was pleasantly surprised when she read the newspapers yesterday to find half a dozen well wishes splashed across the ST teacher's day edition."

" you are an A star teacher!" commented one of her students.

guess what lol she used to be my form teacher in p6 at ai tong pri! that's like 7 years ago lol.
really great teacher man. she was the one who encouraged me no matter what my grades were. always guiding me and helping me esp in my maths :) i was always super careless hence my crappy prelim grades then haha not that it changed much now lol. but i was this normal average kid in P6D '01 then when we recieved the PSLE results that day not only did i do well but i topped the class with 257! lol as compared to 226 during the prelims haha it was really all thanks to her with all that afternoon remedials and extra practice that i would do so well then.

i would still occasionally see her on the bus some days as i go to sch and she still remember me as the boy who surprised the whole class by topping the class... yet i cant bring myself to tell her how my results crashed and burn from sec school onwards. lol.

well at least its good to see that she's still impacting the kids in Ai Tong and doing well haha. this time i will make sure i dun screw up my A levels and end my formal education on a good note. this is in a way to live up to her expectations and dun "gu fu" her.

haha tmr going to sch for derick lee's mass remedial on intl trade. last ditch effort to do something about econs before the prelims. jia you ppl!
