The Scar in the Record

L Now I really got a B3. This time its English. The English paper is divided into 2 sections, part 1 and part 2. For Part 1 I didn’t not enjoy the process of writing the essay * I had chosen to write about the pros and cons of studying overseas*  but I scored quite a high score for it. That surprised me  a lot! I did not expect myself to get 23 out of 30 because I was expecting a much lower mark.

 

However, I wasn’t quite happy with my part 2. I did enjoy the process of writing  the letter but somehow I did not score well. I had only gotten myself an 18 out of 30. The marks shocked me a bit. I could have sworn that I felt myself shivering and tears welling in my eyes when I saw the score.

 

Every downside has its bright side, just like there is a silver lining in the cloud. This time’s failure will be my motivation to strive harder and get better marks in the next test. I will certainly work hard and get at least 25 marks the next exam. Just wait and see. J

 

I had just came back from my CCA, so I am going to take a shower now and have dinner.

 

Bye!


P.S the guys from the 7th are going to have their cluster outing tonight they get to skip study time!L

Whoops!

I am such a newb. Sigh.

 

I got actually got an ‘A’ for my Combined Humanities! J The awesome part about this is the present my teacher gave me.

 

A free movie coupon to watch movies at the Golden Village!

 

How cool is that?! I was ecstatic to get the ticket. Well Wei Cong*he gave me an iPod! because he got himself an iPod touch* got the ticket too. He really did put in a lot of effort I think. After all, I do not think that a person coming from China is able to cope as well in studies as him. Boy, you deserved it! J

 

     Classes were mundane today. During Chemistry, Mr Chan  - the teacher who walks with his mouth open- shuffled our seats. I ended up sitting with Shu Yan, my fellow Malaysian J. He was the one that got the highest score for Physics. Ah, patriotism! Anyway, this time we learned about the periodic table. I didn’t listen to his speech nor did Shu Yan and Wei Cong. Haha! Rebellious as we may be, we did all the work he gave us which was drawing the valence electrons for the first 20 elements in the periodic table. In the end I think my atoms looked like chocolate cookies!

 

     Drama unfolded during Elementary Mathematics class. We unleashed the beast in our teacher, Ms Portia. Due to some ‘good’ students *lets not reveal their name*,  she hurled a serious tantrum at us. Those who did not bring their worksheets, assignments and textbook were ordered to stand at the back of the class. They were fined $2 for each stuff that they didn’t bring. Sigh, I wonder why all the teacher has the urge to fine the students. As a Malaysian, I feel that the amount of fine they impose on us was very hefty. You can’t blame me. Everything here cost double/ 2.4 of Malaysian Ringgit. Back to the drama, she then upturned the student’s table  *the she-hulk* and threw all their papers and folders on the floors. I looked around the class, and I was slightly amused despite the intensity in the atmosphere. Most of the students sitting at their seats were international students, like me. J Call us good students!

 

   Physics was hard for me today. I got confused over the new topic : Current of Electricity. I somehow screwed all the formulas and struggled through the questions. Sigh, during study time, I must revise!

 

I had just got back from school. Ly-en won’t come back until around 5 o’clock. Cannot eat pasta with her. L

 

Ah well, I’ll take a bath now. Till the next post!

 

Countdown: 4 more days!

Exam's Dilemma


First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting for one month.I had important exams. >.<

 

Speaking about exams,I didn't do so well this time round.The syllabus was so different from the Malaysian format!In Malaysia, I can score with flying colours with my eyes closed!That is how hard is it. For English so far.

 

I am in the 3rd class. And the 2nd class only have 5 passes for English!Only 5! Imagine my horror.If the 2nd class did so badly, could we, the students in the 3rd class fare any better?The thought itself is enough to send me into hysterics. *bang head*

 

I really hope I don’t fail my English. It would be the first time.

But after thinking it over again and talking to Bell, I realized that failing wouldn’t be that bad. After all, by failing I would know where to get the motivation to get back up on my feet and try to attain better results. The prospect of failing doesn’t scare me that much now but tell me, who would choose failure over a pass? So I am keeping my fingers crossed *smirk* J

 

For Combined humanities, I have got a B3. L Apparently they have a very different marking scheme. If you don’t score an L4/10 for your 5th paragraph, they wouldn’t bother marking your 6th paragraph which is the conclusion. Sigh. That was 3 long conclusions I wrote. Al for nothing I suppose. What  a waste of hard work! In the end I only got 66 marks.

 

I did pretty well in my Sciences. I got distinction for my Pure Biology and also my combined Sciences; chemistry and physics. To be honest I was feeling quite contented but I intended to score higher marks in the next exam. As for Mathematics, I vow not to do the same careless mistakes that cost me my full marks.==. In Additional Mathematics, I got every question right. The workings were all perfect. Then when I write the answer down in the lower column, I wrote the equal sign with an extra hyphen.

 

So the whole equations which was suppose to be like this

x=2

became

x-2

I am so pissed! But ah well, I shouldn’t care too much on the past. Life should move on. Must set target and raise the bar. J
