It's day 5 of mid year exams. And things aren't looking optimistic for me.
English
Paper 1 - I retained a fair amount of my composure during essay writing, and made an moderately successful attempt to sound profound. I was also lucky to be given a question that I liked.
As for my functional writing up, I screwed up badly, the work was incomplete. It's not like time has been harsh on me during the exam, but the question was rather "sticky", get what I mean? I didn't quite understand what the questions wanted and being someone which extremely low determination, I eventually gave up half way. I spent the rest of time playing Sudoku on my table, which I did not complete too lol.
Paper 2 - Undoubtedly one of the hardest English paper I have recieved in my life. Good thing is, I completed it. But many of my answers still remain to be dubious. Oh, and for the vocab part, I am supposed to provide a synonym or a phrase not more than 7 words to describe "Degenerative". And guess what I wrote? Deformative! I only realised my own stupidity when I went home and check the dictionary, such word does not even exist LOL! The summary part was quite worrying too ... the passage was like so dry and I had a hard time picking out 15points.
I can't care less on my functional writing now, just let me pass my essay and paper 2.
Chinese
Paper 1 - I believe I did well in this part. Like English, the question was to my liking, and somewhat my forte. I wrote a bloody long one on my main essay, too lazy to count, but I believe it's between the range of 750~800. Questioned was quite common and it was something that most students Should have vast knowledge on. Letter writing was good too, I managed to full utilise the last 30mins and spam whatever thoughts I have in my mind. Question was pretty easy too. Yay.
Paper 2 - Will be taking this tomorrow. ZOMG. I HAET CLOSE FUCKING PASSAGE, THEY WILL GIVE YOU LIKE 4 FUCKING PHRASES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER, AND ASK YOU TO PICK OUT THE ONE THAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THE PASSAGE. SO FUCKING WHAT IF IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE, IT'S LIKE FUCKING RANDOM LA! KNNCCB.
Maths
Paper 1 - I did everything except for locus, graphs and trigonometry and probability, which makes up like 1/2 of the paper. Since the year started, I had leveled up my slacking skills to 86. My knowledge on the new topics are 0, and my knowledge on past year topics are fading away. Holy fucking shit. It's a blessing if I am able to score 40% on this one.
Paper 2 - I took this today and ... CAN SOMEONE GET ME A FUCKING PILLOW PLEASE, it's almost 2 n 1/2 hrs of sleeping on solid plastic table tops, by the time I woke up, I could feel slight cracks on my backbone. And hey, I thought that only POA and Science was alien to me. But lawl, apparently it's no different for math paper 2. Out of the entire paper, I was only able to answer two questions and the golden part is those answers are still subjected to red crosses. Please give me a 5% on this one and I buy the marker a cookie.
Combine Humanities
Social Studies - As usual, I bullshited on my source based question part. And I guess my shit flew to the right direction. As for the essay questions .. lawl. I left it completely blank. Too lazy to write 1000words just to get that extra 7~10marks.
Geography - I prefer this among the two. As long as you have some sort of common sense up there. One should not fail this too badly.
Science
Physics - Damm, I should have brought my panadol so that sleeping can be easier.
Chemistry - I have learnt my lesson from physics and I WILL bring my panadol tomorrow.
POA
Paper 1 - I don't know when am I going to take this, but perhaps I shall pray to whoever is up there for the next few days and hopefully do well for my multiple choice. The rest of the questions can be left untouched.
Paper 2 - I am supposed to take this today, but as I am able to predict my score would be an integer that's between -1 and 1. I skipped it for my own good.
Honestly speaking, it would be already be a miracle if I am able to pass just ONE of my subjects.
Anyway, I aren't supposed to be taking those dreaded exams. NUH had actually honoured me with a 30days MC.
It's my parents that forced me to take those exams, not for results or any expectations but ... they just don't want me to stay at home and use the comp. WISDOM!
all the best for exams.
