Right! So it’s Friday again haha. Gonna blog about all that happened this week.Well, so it’s about Prelimsagain haha, So I had no paper on Tuesday and just stayed at home and studied for Maths Paper 2.
So then had Maths Paper 2 on Wednesday and it went considerably well. Still,need more practice on Maths for better results. Stats portion was also quite okay due to having had enough practice I guess haha.
Had Physics Paper 1 on Thursday and Chem Paper 1 on Friday. Guess that sort of sums up my entire Prelims hahaha.
45 more days to the A levels

AWESOME! Papers!!(XD)
Hey! Hey! Had to blog today man! Had two really awesome papers today.Econs Paper 1. Chem Paper 2.
Yeah, had two papers today and was expecting them to be disastrous actually but they both seemed okay. At least the Chem paper was not really difficult as I had thought it would be, and the Econs case study was relatively easy too. In comparison though, certainly felt that the Econs paper would bring me better grades. The two case studies given were easy to understand and points and examples to support my arguments could easily be picked out to be used in my answers. Used lots of points and examples from the extracts in my answers.Haha… really happy with that. Quite sure my answers should be okay. Chem paper, like I said, was not as tough as I had expected it to be. Nevertheless, it was still not totally an easy paper. Most of the questions were manageable but there were still some which I was not too confident in handling. But I’m definitely more confident in handling the question this time around as compared to the MYEs. Sure expect better grades this time. Haha! Well, hope this boosts my confidence in handling all the other papers this week. Haha, the battle’s not over yet. It’s only the beginning of the week. Still got lots to mug!
49 more days to the A levels!
Ciaos!

PRELIMS!!! Week 2
Prelims this week. Whew! Finally it’s Friday. A short break before Prelims continues again. So had Chem Paper 3 to start off with on Monday. As usual, it was a disaster! Wasn’t expecting much from it actually, although quite guilty of this as it is the Prelims already yet and I’m still not motivated to score well. But guess coz this is the first paper after the Sept Hols so still not really into the study mode yet. Then again, A levels is the real thing and this Prelims exam will not exactly affect my A levels grade much. Gonna be doing many more practices after the the A levels anyways. Therefore, didn’t study too much for the paper and just went for the paper with whatever prior knowledge I had before the holidays.
Tuesday!Didn’t have paper so just stayed at home to revise for H2 Maths Paper 2for the next day. Thought it was Stats paper and studied excessively for Stats. However, turned out that Wednesday’s Maths paper was just Pure Maths. Anyways did study Pure Maths too so the paper didn’t go too badly. Only some parts of questions still unable to solve. Still have paper 1 to chiong.
No paper again on Thursday so stayed at home to study for Econs paper 2 and Physics paper 2 for Friday.
Had Econs Paper 2 and Physics Paper 2 on Friday. Had to write 3 essays for Econs but only managed two of the three though. Was very confident of the first essay which was on market failure due to negative externalities. So took a little more time on it to perfect it. In the end took an hour and 45 mins. OMG! Over- shot by too much.But overall quite satisfied with both essays written.Hoping to get more than 30 for Paper 2 overall. Physics paper was kind of under- prepared again. Not too good. Will have to work much harder for Paper 1 MCQ for a better overall grade.
Went swimming again after the papers on Friday.Went early again but still not much sun. Dark clouds started forming in the sky and I thought it would rain. Didn’t rain though.At least not before I finished with my shower. Dried myself and came out to be met with a heavy downpour. OMG! OMG! OMG! My things were soaking in the rain!! Rushed out and “rescued” my bag and clothes which were all already soaked through anyways. Phew… luckily I had my bag zipped up. Waited for the rain to stop before heading home as my umbrella had just tendered its resignationagain yesterday lol... aka got spoilt! How timely!
Going to spend the weekends studying for the papers next week.Last chance to pull up my Prelim grades.

Chionging studies in school
Sept Hols again! One whole week without any lessons… haha! Then again, not much like hols actually. Iwent back to school every day to study…lol. So much for the holidays.Haiz...what to do...? Prelims coming up after the hols
Good thing for me anyways since Chee Koon wanted to study in school anyways not efficient when studying. Really realised just how inefficient I am studying at home when I started going to school to do my revision. Too many distractions at home I guess. Same problem that most of us students face nowadays I guess. What with having computers at home, the television, radio and various other electronic equipment. It is to the extent that even the fridge has joined the list of distractions. Well I do try to prevent myself from being near these distractions. However, it is not very effective lol. If I do manage to get myself away from my laptop, I will then find myself sitting in front of the television anyways. Anyways, went back to school to study on our own on Monday and Tuesday. Then, we had Econs ERP on Tuesday morning so went to school and studied for a while from 9am to 10 am before heading for Discussion Room 3 for ERP. Then went back to studying again all the way till afternoon about 2pm. Much was the same for Monday except that we didn’t have ERP on Monday. Hahas both days had Mac for lunch. (Lols why is it always a Mac near my school? Sec school Kss also spam mac after school during cca breaks now JC studying for exams… hahas its mac again!) Yah so it’s junk food but ‘WHO CARES!!’ Haha…so long as it keeps me awake and is not too much stress on the finances. Hahas! Not likely for me to get fat anytime soon anyways… lol.
Anyways, studied Econs on both days and some Maths.
Went home after lunch and did Prelim Practice Paper 2. Preparing for Maths COE on Thurs and Fri.
Went for COE on both Thurs and Fri. Well, certainly helped a lot. Did lots of maths and the resources there certainly helped me keep from falling asleep as it was certainly much easier to work with answers available rather than feeling really sianzz when I can’t solve a maths problem lols. The teachers there were also a great help. Haha… when COE comes up again for the final lap to A levels, I am sure to be there!
So it’s Friday again today. So…Yup! It’s swimming again for me. As COE ended at 3pm I was able to leave early and head for the pool. Well COE literally ends at 3pm mind. I had thought that the teachers only stated that as a time to wind down and that they will still be available for further consultations but no. They started chasing us all out of MPR3 at 3pm sharp and all of them had disappeared by 3.05pm. Lolol!
Anyways, back to swimming. Thought that I could get more of the sun and do some tanning as I was earlier this time. However it was cloudy when I got to the pool with not much sun. Haiz… what a waste! Decided to wait though and as usual changed into my pink trunks and laid on one of the benches hoping to get some sun but it was to no avail. After doing Sudoku for more than an hour, I finally decided to get in the water partly due to tiredness beginning to creep in and also due to the fact that there was certainly not going to be much sun left anyways. Managed slightly more laps this time round despite a severe and persistent cramp in my legs. Swam about 16 laps before my leg cramped up. Then decided to stop and laid on the bench again to do Sudoku. After a while went back to swim and completed 22 laps! That’s going to be my standard from now on! Haha!

Prelims GP Paper
Friday again today. Start of Prelims Exam. GP paper 1 went pretty smoothly. Qn I did was something about whether technology enhances teaching and learning. Think I handled it pretty well. Came up with a 7 sentence conclusion, my longest conclusion yet. Only problem was… I FORGOT MY QUESTION NUMBER!!!!!! Only realised when I was queuing up for food in the canteen. By then, too late le.My tutor’s gonna strangle me!!! Was too busy ensuring no errors in my script lols. Clean forgot about it. Haiz… Paper 2 wasn’t too difficult as well. Managed quite a long AQ. Managed quite a lot of points for SQ too. Hope to at least get a C, if not, maybe a B? Lol…at least hoping for a B for P1 lah. Managed a B for the poverty essay lols.
Wednesday had a talk by an ex- VP. Quite motivational in the sense that it woke me up to certain details such as that I was spending too much time on my laptop just surfing the Web aimlessly. Being on MSN too. Wasting my own time lols. Decided to cut down. Gotta control myself. Discipline!
Recently found on the Web that I can grow taller with frequent stretching. Some guy had posted on a forum saying that he grew 4 cm in two months!!! LOL!!! Gonna try stretching more and see if it works. Gonna exercise more as well. What with the Sept Hols coming up, sure a good opportunity.
Long hols coming up again.. two in a row this time. First up is the Presidential Elections in lieu on Monday and Hari Raya on Tuesday. Then Thurs is Teacher’s Day celebrations and Friday Teacher’s Day. Effectively only have lessons on Wednesday. Woot… yeahs!! And after that, Sept school Hols!! But that’s really for lots and lots of revision. Prelims right up next after Hols. Hais… persist through lol...
73 days to A levels

Extra help!! Heeelp!!
Having already received my MYE results, I have been attending remediation programs since week 6. Hahas, having gotten really dismal grades in the Mid-Year Exams, this is certainly not much of a surprise. What’s surprising and quite interesting is the names for all the remediation programs that the teachers have come up with. Really lots of three- letter acronyms to keep up with… rofl! Basically, I am now down for remediation programs for all my subjects except H1 Physics. Okay so there’s Econs Remediation Program a.k.a. ERP for H2 Economics. Then there’s the Centre Of Excellence a.k.a. COE for H2 Mathematics and Maths Excellence Program (MEP) for Maths as well. For H2 Chemistry, there’s a mass Chemistry consultation conducted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. What’s more, there’s also some Chem remediation called “Chem Clinic” for the weaker students and “Chem Hospital” for those that really need extreme help.. Haha. Well see, quite a lot of help being offered by the teachers in my school to give us support for the A levels yeah… haha!
Anyways, as the Economics remediation is compulsory, and I am generally much weaker in Chemistry, I have been attending both remediationsfrequently. Thus, this leaves little time for me to attend COE for Maths which is voluntary. Basically, there will be a venue booked for us weekly on Mondays and Fridays for COE and there will be teachers there to help us clarify our doubts. Answers to recent tests and prelim papers that we have been given will also be made available there. Having been attending Econs and Chem remediation, I also had to constantly complete Econs and Chem assignments thus falling back on revision for Maths as a result. Therefore, all the more the reason why I’ve not been attending COE. Haven’t done any Maths revision papers yet so no answers to check yet. Hais… really got to brush up revision on MathsL On a last note, sadly I have now down for early morning H1 GP lectures as well. Just narrowly missed passing by a mere 4 marks… Man! Sianz…
Looking on the bright side, at least I wun have the chance to be late for school. Due to the lectures, I am now required to be in school by 7am!! on Wed mornings. Haiz…
On my part, I’ve also started looking up my Mum’s friend’s daughter to clarify Chem questions when I need help.
