YES! Who knew, the dreaded promo exams are finally over, at least for the Biology students and those who do not take Physics! I can't believe everything's over in just a matter of a week. It seemed not too long ago that I was busy fretting over how I did not have the luxury of time to thoroughly revise my work, which unfortunately, up till the last paper today, held true for me. Haiz... My chances of promoting aren't very optimistic. I mean, even if I promote, I do not want to drop my 4 H2 subjects. T_T It's just not my fault (to a certain extent) that I can't do well this year, with so many things happening and affecting me in one way or another. Moreover, JC life does need a bit of time to get used to and the things which I'm learning now are so different from the previous years. zZz... If only I tell this to the principal if the need arises for me to see her. -.-''' Anyway, I think I've mentioned this before, but let me repeat myself just for the sake of repeating myself. It's my "tradition" to do an analysis of each paper that I've sat for. Lol, I don't think this analysis will be as lengthy as the years before though.

First paper of the whole vicious cycle is GP paper. It didn't help that I actually spent almost 20 minutes deciding on which topic to write on out of the 12 topics available before I started on the essay proper. Anyway, I think I'm screwed, because I have a feeling that I wrote out of my point for my essay. This is really bad, because last year, when you wrote out of point, there was still a high chance that you could pass (meaning getting probably around 27/50; I've been lucky to hit 30 even when my points are well, sort-of off...), but now, it's a straight fail. What does this mean? Without passing GP, there is
ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF PROMOTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF EDUCATION. Wow, with my comprehension paper being so eff-ed up because apparently, I lack the neccasary comprehension skills and on top of that, I didn't get to complete my damn summary (by the way, I was on the last 2 IMPORTANT points already! Give me 30 more seconds and I would have been able to complete it walao!) and there goes my GP grade. So, probability of not promoting? Well, maybe a 6 or 7/10. Let's see whether I'll pass my GP first, before any of you start flaming me. >.<

My Econs paper is done for. My case-study was totally a piece of mess because I didn't understand some of the questions and my essays are just dollops of poop because I really wrote crap for my essays. In my opinion, I think the essay questions were really difficult. It's crazy... I can't believe I'm taking A-Levels for Econs. T_T Gosh, I really need to buck up leh! I can't afford to let down Cross Breed and Sot Kia!! >.< So far, Econs paper was the worst out of the 2 papers I've taken. ='( Hopefully, I'll be able to secure at least a C grade for Econs, though it'll be really impossible, given my dismal answers in my answer script. Haiz... I was emo-ing because of the paper and Mr Chua (VP) happened to see me and started shaking me to shake away the emo bug. @_@ Thanks a lot though!! ^^

I still cannot fathom how I managed to do well for Chemistry last year (alright, there were times I nearly failed my common tests but well, I still managed to get A1 for overall thanks to my EOY paper) when my Chemistry this year is absolutely hopeless. I repeat, it's absolutely hopeless. I'm so close to failing it, and I think after this paper, I'll fail my overall Chemistry grade. So much for working so hard to push my Chemistry grade up a notch higher. Now I think it'll drop at least 2 grades. =( 2 hours and 45 minutes of intense brain-sizzling can be described as horrible, terrible and
vegetable absolutely disgusting. Haiz, I think I'm really going to let down so many people. ='( I emo-ed on my way home because of this paper. Hmph. The Chemistry paper was the worst paper to date.

I really have no comments for the Maths paper. I've never been good in Maths since time immemorial, so no matter how much hard work I've put in, I'll never be able to make it. I felt that I've let down Farah, especially when she has never lost her patience in me no matter how hopeless I have been. I'm almost certain to fail this subject and if I fail, I probably won't be moping over it though I'll feel very sad. I need to get at least 60 if I want to pull myself out the the failing grade, which is utterly impossible for me, so I can say farewell to my Maths already!
TODAY!
Because of the huge chunk of information that I have to memorise, I ended up only sleeping at around 1.30 am, which resulted in me feeling so tired. This paper was alright, because the mid-year paper was really a killer, so I think the Biology department have tried their best to "tone down" the killer instinct of the paper. OK, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Since Valerie hasn't taken the paper yet, I shall refrain from further comments, except that I regret overlooking some topics. They will cost me a lot, no doubt. Hopefully I can at least pass this paper. =X
Anyway, since today marks the last day of our papers, Jennie, Hai Wei, Shi Xian (Liang) and I decided to go to Thai Express to eat our lunch! Our whole meal there cost $58.30, of which I spent the most LOL! But it was worth it! I finally got to eat my green curry after 7 months!! =D Haha, the next time I go to Thai Express, I shall eat the soft-shell crab or the phad thai. They are
seriously very delicious! Haha, I shall only post a few pictures because I'm lazy to upload the rest. The rest of the photos can be found on Facebook!! =)
Our receipt for our lunch at Thai Express. Jennie was supposed to pay for everything because she's the sole bread-winner in the family! xD
Top left to right: Shi Xian's soft-shell crab rice and Jennie's soft-shell crab noodle. xD I swear that it's really good!! ^^
Bottom left to right: My green curry (which is still as good as ever!) and Hai Wei's phad thai!! =D
Oh yes, I should limit the time spent on the laptop and spend my time
wisely reading the books I've borrowed from the library today. I think I really have no life because I started using the laptop and going onto Facebook just to catch up on things after not using the laptop for almost 5 days. >.<
Yes, I should just get a life.
P.S. Thai Express's Thai Chendol is really fantabulous!! =D It's pity I forgot to take a photo of it. The chendol was really, really very colourful to the max! And QADs rock as usual, of course! <3
