{academics talk..}
my prelims is a goner. LOL today marks the end of prelim yay so happy (which also means A level is even nearer) gp2 die, chinese compo write out of question, econs cs cannot complete, yada yada. zz
i made 2 BIG mistakes. first for physical geography, i act smart, never read question properly. question is asking me to account for b, i go account for a. its a 8 marks question. so 8 marks is gone, whatever i wrote is irrelevance. to think i wasted time writing at quite some length. and the question is not very difficult, if i had just realised and write a few lines, i believe i could easily get 2 or 3 marks. this is darn silly and i got depressed over it for some time. :(
ok second mistake is darn hilarious. i had my econs essay paper, theres a question about Rolls Royce increasing investment in sg. its asking for the factors influencing FDIs and for part b, sth about its economic impact. you know what i wrote?! i say Roll Royce produces CHOCOLATES. omg seriously, i had a good laugh, so had my friends. idk, under the exam condition my immediate thought was Royce chocolates. i started writing about sg having one of the highest gdp per capita in the world so they can afford to buy "branded chocolates". when talking about the impact, i wrote sth about the transfer of technology, oh erm perhaps "they import sophisticated machinery that can grind cocoa into chocolates efficiently" LOLLOL!! it was only until last night when i was revising for geography globalisation, i chance upon sth abt "BMW acquired Ford and Rolls Royce" then it struck me about this econs essay. Rolls Royce is an automobile firm, not one that produces chocolate!! GUNDOS! -__________-lll i convinced myself it wouldnt affect the marks very much but my friends say otherwise. they make me so worried that i emailed Mr Bong (our econs tutor) about it. hopefully i wouldnt be penalised strongly. i am sure the marker will be amused la!
well well its over, theres nothing i can do. there just doesnt seems to be a drive to study hard. in fact i think i did not put much effort into prelims, guess i sort of treated it like any other term 3 tests. for A lvl, defintely have to push myself. i am a slacker throughout, i cant stand myself being one but i just cant help. (dont believe your business, stop harping on the honor roll, luck dont always come) i just have to get into honor roll next year when we are back to collect results. i'll have to bear til then. jiayou to myself and my friends!
if you are wondering when i end my A level, its 20 nov. its approaching to 1 month left to the start of my 1st A level paper. 20 nov is considered early right, but i start much earlier as well. i had a paper 1 wk before other main subjects start. guess its a good thing, start early end early. hahaha then after that i can relax! all the post exam plans and talks are making me so excited!! yesyes fel, i so wanna go travelling with you!! MUST GO LA. hahaha i miss all my friends. cant wait to enjoy life with them after A levels. i have got many many plans that keep me afloat to survive these days. one important thing i need to do after As is to go do an eye checkup. i very long nv check liao, i dont wanna go blind~ (my myopia is extreme). never mind, let me believe in today's technology.
