it's been a while.

I am finally going to throw my ass back into the blogosphere. In a bid to correct my incomplete sentences syndrome kindly pointed out by my examiner, I shall attempt to write this entire blog post completely. Although I have perfectly no idea what the hell was wrong previously with my sentences. Maybe they sounded detached? That might be one of the reasons. It is such a pity they don't accept abstract art in GP essays.
I am going to recount what happened today.

Quite unsurprisingly, ever since the exams ended, there has been little incentive for me to crawl out of bed faster so that I can get to VJ sooner. Oh yes. There will be CT session tomorrow so expect me to be even later. Frankly, CT sessions are really quite boring once the teacher starts droning about some life lesson. I know it is useful at some point or another, but please, at 8am in the morning, the only thing I want to learn is how to sleep with all the noise around me.

The first paper that I got back was economics. I think it was a miracle that my market structure question actually scored higher than my demand and supply question. Honestly, how I managed to do that was really quite...bewildering. I am still at a loss. But the bottom line is, I still flopped for the essay. I can tell myself that this time around, I really did try my best because I did send essays for Miss Teo to grade and I really did quite grasp, at least with a deeper understanding, about the concepts and principles of economics. It was quite daunting. But hey, I am trying my best to make it my best friend. I am trying trust me. I made a call to Miss Teo to probe about the case study question. Not surprisingly, that ended with a fail as well. Overall, I failed my promotional exams for Economics. But the grand total, I somehow managed a pass. 46.7 Can you believe that? It's probably class participation and the extra work done. I swear here now that by the end of next year, I am going to get 76.4 marks for my economics. I will strive hard. Really hard.

It was a break after that and we played CS again. I was beginning to lose my touch and subconsciously, I kept hitting the 'shift' key to make the character sprint. Hahaha. It was something from COD4. Bad habit. I managed a number of kills. The MP-5 is really a dumb-proof deadly gun.

Chemistry lesson was up next. Everyone did moderately well. I feel kind of sorry for those that didn't get the marks they actually deserved. They surely paid in more effort than I did..but alas. Don't worry, it will be better. =) Miss Chia didn't hesitate to give us back the results. This is a far cry from those days back at Maris Stella where Khoo will first hand us back the Answers and then the scripts. Haha.
MCQ was dotted with careless mistakes. I refused to look at the question paper because I know I would seriously kick myself in the ass for all the unnecessary carelessness. Hot damn. The Structured portion was moderately okay I guess. It could had been better but still...I just have to break the limit. Once again, there were a few careless errors here and there. There were a couple of unexpected correct answers as well; the ones that I thought were confirm wrong turned out right. Nice surprise.
The essays were temperamental. I scored like 9/20 for the first question and was totally dumbstruck. Sharon said I looked cool today but really, some where deep down I was swearing throughout. The second question pulled me up thankfully. I managed 19/20. Crazy stuff. The marker was obviously feeling emo when he marked the first part and high when he marked the second part. Nuts. Overall, Chemistry was fine I guess. I managed a B. Score is 68. Urgh. 2 more marks till 70. Damn.

Biology was up next and this was the mother of all bombs. I thought I would do fine for Biology but NO......It was horrible. I failed the Structured questions. I failed the Essay. But I passed the MCQ. Somehow or other, I passed for the Grand Total. To be honest, I just barely scrapped through with a miserable 49.9. Let's round it up to 50 to make it look nice.

Math was up next. Mrs Koh said the three guys did well. But that set us worried because what EXACTLY is 'well'. It turned out that my math 'prowess' has dipped in form a significant bit. I managed a sad 67...There is definitly room for improvement and I smell the A within reach. Here I come. You better be prepared.

Oh yes. How could I forget about GP. We paid Mrs Liew a visit to get our scripts and ho ho ho. She said it was horribly done. Well what do you expect man. The comprehension was about some nonsensical bullshit about chick lit and lad lit and honestly, who the hell gives a fuck about such a fucked genre? We just want to read and PERIOD. If it's just a fad it will fade. If it isn't your sons and grandsons will be reading it. End of story. Why make such a big fuss about this fucking genre as though it is loaded with uranium and plutonium and could mark the fucking end of the literary world? Geez. Anyway, I failed my composition; managed a miserable 21. But the comprehension pulled me up. The summary portion was my saving grace. Overall, I passed for GP.

To total everything up for the year 2008 which was eventfully uneventful, I got:
B
B
E
E
E
For the promotional exams. I can't be bothered to string those damn alphabets into some damn word. I would love to have AAAAC though. But then, that does not seem to be tangible in the near future. At least, it isn't possible now. But I am trying.
I hope the rest of the people did okay.
