quick review: ss and chinese papers were extremely demoralising. i stupidly did two differences and did not do any similarities for the compare and contrast question. so i think it's only L3, even tho i spent so much time on that question and for the usefulness, i didn't finish...but at least i wrote a contrasting...and for reliability? dont ask...i got confused and i din noe how to answer so i crapped my way through. thankfully, i can still harbour some hope from a relatively easy SEQ. good thing ms teo went through a similar question before. it was on tamil tigers and IRA came out for exams, so it was not too bad...

chinese was terrible. the comprehensions were murderous and extremely confusing. for the mcq questions, the options were so similar that no one knew exactly what was the right answer and the vocab questions were totally incomprehensible. NO ONE knew or was confident of the right answer, save for the china scholars...and there was the comprehension on the teacher that u couldnt copy any word from the text coz there was no direct answer, u had to come up with the answers yourself. now if you are reading this and have no idea about what i am talking about, thanks for reading and accept my apologies. anw, blogs are mainly for people to vent their frustrations...

a maths paper was quite a breeze. except for the surds questions. i can never do surds questions, i always cannot get the answer for some reason. but, overall, it was really ok. most of the questions i could get the answer without thinking too hard and hence saving my brain from damage. but anyone would have felt it was easy, and im having a feeling that tomorrow's paper two would be murderous, with difficulty of epic proportions. i hope im wrong. i predicted wrongly that a maths and bio would be difficult, but so far it's been ok. but, seriously, with rv, binomials, trigo, circular measure, trigo identities and sets coming out tomorrow, only a fool would hope for the paper to be easy... well, im keeping my fingers crossed.

yesterday, i suffered from an immense headache. it was as if there was a massive earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Ritcher scale happening in my brain. probabaly half my brain cells were murdered during that headache. i couldnt study bio, so i woke up early today to gorge down whatever i could down my throat. they should have a scale to measure headaches. call it the noah scale or something. it was so bad, panadol couldnt help. dont buy panadol, it's useless. next time i guess i will have to drill a hole into my head or something. (that's what they did in the middle ages. brain surgery, medieval style...)

english today was okay, not as difficult as the midyear paper but still quite testing. i skipped alot of the questions and went back to finish them after summary. the questions are not the type where you can get your answer just 'like that', but you had to think through and really comprehend the passage to get your answer, and even if you did think hard, you were not sure if you got the right answer or not, you just have to cross your fingers and pray hard.

bio today was irritating. there was alot of writing, very little drawing and labelling, something that i would prefer since when i write, i tend to write alot and over-emphasise my points, as this blog post would atest to. nevertheless, i continued on my writing spree, explaining how the kidney helps to maintain a constant internal environment and blah blah blah...all the stuff that i thought would come out didnt and a lot of ecology questions popped out, and hardly any on the brain and the eye, my two favourite topics. at least the menstruation part didnt come out, i cant remember progesterone or oestrogen and their functions for nuts...

nevertheless, i pulled through and tomorrow's another day. in fact, it's A MATHS PAPER TWO. they just HAD to give us two papers. those old geezers at cambridge...torturing us like that. i know it's gonna be a killer paper tomorrow so im going to study hard now...

anw, liverpool drew with PSV. slightly disappointing, but definitely not as bad as that harrowing loss to the dirty blues, weird guys who like to name their club after sweets...

im sensing better days for liverpool. benitez will get his act together and get the team to show their true potential. everybody expects liverpool to be perfect, but forget that at the end of the day, benitez and gerrard and co are still human, but it's only the start of the season, and they will rise to the occasion.
