i know this post is slightly lag, but i've been trying to study and so i am like staying away from the tempting computer. also, since both my brothers have finished their exams and are currently wasting their time away, the only thing that they do is to play computer games. from FIFA, they've moved on to NBA Live. i mean, like get a life!!! go and do something constructive for a change. i shall have a good talk with them about this...
anw, back to the o levels. it's kinda funny that the "major" exam that we have been preparing for for the last four years of our lives has come and is going. frankly, i still cant believe that im sec four and that im taking o levels. the past week has been a few ups and downs. the os really have a way at surprising you and i guess sometimes the preparation can never be enough. both emaths papers were quite easy, as compared to the prelims. im hoping that i dont make any dumb careless mistakes, so i can secure a1 for emaths. and how about ss you might ask? i dare say, no human being goes through as much stress as an o level student taking his ss paper. throughout the entire one and a half hours my heart was pumping blood, adrenaline and stress hormones in double quick time. my legs were shaking more vigorously than usual and sweat beads were forming on my forehead in the arctic-temperature hall. doing four sbqs and two seqs in one and a half hours? that's madness. i walked out of the hall dizzy and arm aching...but looking on the bright side, at least i finished my entire ss paper. like for the first time! and i even had time to check one question. like how cool is that? still, by no means does finishing a paper guarantee and a1.
the rest of the subjects were ok, but i haf to highlight elect geog. darn cambridge examiners set the manufacturing question with link to chapter one, which i didn't study! so i had to try to make up my own explanation about why the advertising industry was a tertiary industry. i had absoulutely no idea how to explain tertiary industries. and for the section b question? it was even worse. the 12mark question had only two points written in the textbook. i mean, wake up! 12marks for two points?! how in the world do you award the marks? so i ended up talking about more stuff that wasnt in the textbook (ie, i made up my own points). elect geog was tough, and itz my only humanities, along with ss. hmmmmmm....this calls for extra prayer. as i handed up the paper, i was praying, "Lord, i leave it to your hands, help me."
Matthew 6:27 - "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
Matthew 6:34 - "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."
i guess i take comfort in these two verses. worrying is definitely unnecessary, so dont worry...therefore, for o level results, i'll just pray that i'll do well and get the marks i deserve and let tomorrow worry about itself.
btw, i think Senor Rafael Benitez should refer to these two verses as well, since liverpool just lost 3-0 to arsenal. embarrasing? tell me about it. but i guess liverpool will bounce back again. for now, languish and wallow in self-pity and finger-pointing, tomorrow, bounce back and whip the opponent left-right-centre, and so redeem yourself in the process.
i shall discuss about liverpool's knack for underperforming in another post. for now, im going back to study. btw, it's 3.41am. im thonning again. haha. so fun. =.=
