WHEEEE, A'LEVELS ARE OVERRRRRRR! :D
i can't quite believe that A's can be considered history in my life actually. two years in college flew by just like that? it seemed like just some months ago that i left ijtp and started out in sajc, with a brand new class 07S25 and with new faces everywhere. and now, it's time to leave sa? the past two years have been so crazily packed and everything seems to have passed in a blur! i don't think i ever had time to just stop in the midst of the hectic college life and properly absorb other seemingly menial stuffs that are occurring simultaneously.. okay i shall not dwell into this any further, lest it becomes emo. haha
in any caseeee, A'levels are over and it's time to let our hair down, rejoice and simply chill out! but i would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who has played a role ( both major and supporting ) in what could be described as the toughest month in my entire 18 years of existence! needless to say, the A'level period, namely mid Oct to mid Nov, was mentally and physically draining -- with all the jam-packed lessons, tuitions and late night mugging. i cannot find sufficient words to express my deepest gratitude to the following..
1) God, for providing me with wisdom, determination and strength, and for healing me from my fever flu and sorethroat that hit me two days before the big A's commenced. ((:
1) my parents who have supported me through thick and thin, providing me with the best amount of help that i can ever receive, chauffeuring me here and there just so i can get more sleep, brewing tonic soups etc etc and most importantly, showering me with special parental love that no one else can ever provide ((:
2) my grandparents & aunt who have been praying for me and buying me essence of chicken as well as tonic soups! ((:
3) my brother who, despite being cooped up in camp on weekdays, actually provided a backseat role in asking about my well-being and for showing concern by asking "eh your exams over already? aren't you supposed to be studying?" whenever he sees me using the comp. HAHA ((:
4) my S25 friends who have been really encouraging and for being sources of help whenever i had doubts. [esp xinying who is ever-willing to answer my questions regardless of subjects! she's my smartypants jiejie! and also sharon who often entertains my random squeals of stress or excitement] ((:
5) my other friends ( namely animal farm, ijtp friends, OG peepos etc etc.. ) who have also encouraged me relentlessly and for all their prayers and well-wishes ((:
6) Nicol who took special efforts to provide me with words of comfort whenever a paper didn't seem to go well, and for helping me with Econs! ((:
7) my teachers in school and private tutors who have been at the mercy of my constant sms-es and calls to ask about stuff and to seek clarifications even late into the night! hahaha. ((:
THANK YOU ALL VERYYYYY MUCH! =)

yesterday's chem paper1 was the worst chem mcq i've ever done in my entire college life! not kidding. the questions were so foreign and weird, and they gave such complicated compounds like wth?! the 11 C thing was seriously screwed up. and what in the world is "hv" anyway? hv being a reagent/condition? was there a typo error or something? if yes, why wasn't it rectified? is this reflective of the proper A'level standards? no one among us has heard of "hv", though we've heard of "uv". but hey, if there was an errata, why wasn't it pointed out? i don't think chem was the only paper with such mistakes because math paper1 had really vague and unfathomable questions as well! nevertheless, chem paper was in short, absurd and unreasonable!
sigh. i actually dreamt of chem last night! traumatic eh. well i wouldn't say it was a nightmare, i dreamt that i was doing kinetics and energetics questions. and while i was figuring out how it should be done, i woke up from my dream and had to keep reassuring myself that chem is over and ought to be dismissed from my saturated brain. this happened twice i think, cos after i fell asleep again, i dreamt of another chem question! freaky eh. this reflects the level of stress and anxiety that the A'levels have induced on us!

yay, i'm listening to Jason's Castro's rendition of "Somewhere over the rainbow"! i know i'm kinda slow in the sense that American Idol season7 was long over but hey, i just found the video on youtube and i simply love the way he strums on his ukulele. the way he sings, his voice, emotions and all are amazinggg! i dunno why, but listening to his rendition makes me feel really light-hearted and well, happy (: i feel like i'm on the rainbow, amidst peace and tranquility! ((:
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
AH, maybe i should learn to play the ukulele! hahaha.

i reaaaally hope tmr's chem paper1 will be easy and that i'll have enough time!

econs case study was a little tough in my opinion, especially the macro one. i fell for some dumb tricky question and now i feel like an idiot! argh. hope it costs minimal marks. sigh i feel quite insecure about econs, i dunno why. maybe i've placed too high hopes on it. and i'm not sure if i'm actually able to achieve it. you know that kinda feeling? yeah it sucks >:(
i'm supposed to be feeling really glad that all the major papers are over and tt i'm only left with two MCQ papers but somehow, the anxiety is overpowering. i'm worrying about the results now and i can't help but wonder, what happens if i don't achieve the targets tt i've set for myself? or what if i don't meet people's expectations? people who know me well enough should know what i'm referring to. i know it could be seen as though i'm only giving myself added pressure but sigh, i really don't wanna disappoint..

Econs paper2 was.. WEIRD! the questions were unexpected and beyond what we've anticipated. i'm sure at least half of those who took the paper will agree with me. whatever happened to the conventional questions about inflation and exchange rate and stuff? geez. in any case, my question 4 and 5 essays were the longest that i've written in my entire college life. that's something worth mentioning but then again i'm uncertain if it contained sufficient substance.
moving onnn, Chem paper2 was pretty alright except for the super strange last question on complexes! i think we were tested on stuffs outta the syllabus cos if i'm not wrong, the shapes of complexes are listed as "for your information only" on our notes!
argh. whats up with SEAB?!
i'm reaaaally hoping moderation works to my benefit.
in any caseeee, i'm really thankful that today's over! after tmr's econs case study paper, it'll be semi-liberation with only two MCQ papers left!
