Eggs-in-ham (Exam) Furore

Before i get into greater detail, let me jus apologise for the serious blandness of the background. The fundemental purpose of a background is to allow the reader to view the content, and i think this serves the purpose better than the previous, even if the previous was prettier. hehex.. anw, i'll change it when i can. probably soon. once i get over the euphoria of finishing the exams and before i get rushed into the hectic panic that is prelim preparation. by my calculations, that yields two possible times - next week, or after a-levels. hehex..

But mid years i can say are officially over, and its back to sch and lessons and all those things that temporarily paused for 5 weeks. and i say they're officially over cos all the papers have been marked and returned and checked. and we see that yth has finally got his coveted 4A*s which for so long has eluded him - even if barely. MC:FM:PH:CH=100:96:91:91. go figure.

well back to us humans. We had a much more troubling time getting thru the papers. my maths C was not above 90. bleh.. i noe some pple out there might think perhaps i'm asking too much, but perhaps when ur competitive like me, plus ur in an f-maths class where whoever actually does their work does score reasonably well, and if they're not careless, wld score 90+. i'm not sure if this statistic is exaggerated. maybe it is, maybe not. but its smthg along that line. i mean, yth got his 100 unflinchingly - without even the slightest change of emotion. man... anw, i'm happy with my mark anw. A is A la...

overall i think my f-maths was the MOST delightful. it got returned to us in parts- section C (statistics) was returned first. and i reli screwed that up - 21/39. pass, but soo far from A. and i had reli worked hard for f-maths over the hols. much harder than usual, at least. so duh, i'm pissed. if u can rmb, it was the bstrd qns - questioning both Geometric and Exponential in the same papers, smthg teachers said oughtn't happen i think. anw, so i screwed that up. and my total score for sections A and B faced a bleak ultimatum to score 49/61 in order for A. imagine my euphoria when they surpassed that ultimatum. thank God.

physics was disappointing - a real wake up call. somehow i always thought of myself as quite good at physics. i think so did mr kwek. so imagine our shock when i saw a 6 as the first digit on my score. the good news; it was 69.7. barely an A. and in the end, i found a mistake in the marking, tt made it 70.3. but i reli need to work harder if i ever want to smell a distinction in s paper physics. even to smell it.

which is why i dedicated this week to studying physics. phyllis my darling. hehe.. brings back memories, hurhur.. =).

other 'darlings' are jus useless larhz. but tts a story not for here. haha...

pray complacency is nvr felt by me. let yth n roshni be my motivations. neednt beat them. jus that they are assurances that excellence is possible.

cheerios~ n peace.
