Okay, here is an update, the O level Edition!

I am not going to share questions here, I am just going to express my feelings during this first week of O level.

So, I was really expecting the O level to be super hard, or maybe moderately hard like PSLE, but I was really wrong. During the 1st Week, I feel that the papers are not as challenging as those I have been preparing for, however I have to say A Maths Paper 2 was really tough, but I managed to do it really well after much comparison.

However for those language based subjects, I dont really think I did as well. English Paper 1 was rather odd for me, I thought that I have gotten my mojo on Narratives, but I was wrong. I went back to my old habits of writing and rambling in the Introduction which I know should not have been that way, and my ending was really terrible. Here is what I can roughly remember, I wrote that I was feeling a pain in my stomach and I vomitted, which is clearly not how the pre-vomit thing. However, I think I did well for the Report, Summary and Comprehension, SO keeping my fingers crossed that those sections will pull me up.

Chemistry was the first paper, and I cannot believe that the paper did not test much on the chapters we learnt? I studied for a whole week for that subject but less than 75% of the content came out. There is one thing that really bugs me, the last question was a choice type, and I took the risky road to do the question which have only 2 parts and the marks are unfairly distributed, 7 and 3. Where as the other it's 6, 2, 2. But, I think I did an okay job with the 7 marks question, I threw in anything that I can think of to compare Propane and Propene. Hopefully, the points will be considered in marking.

Geography was fun. the week before, I was worried that the questions will be interlinked and will be super hard. However, I was pleasantly surprised to know that most of the questions that appeared, I have studied well. And my writing is really quick. I managed to write at least a page long for each question. However, that was also a disadvantage because for the last question, I was writing to many points of solutions that I didnt manage to write the disadvantages to those solutions. However, I managed to throw in a little success rates in each paragraph of solutions.

Maths wasnt too hard, I guess, because I managed to have half an hour at least to check through the paper, and that's a good thing and I managed to spot a few careless mistakes which would have cost me marks. However, there was one which bugged me, that Significant Figures. I left the final answer as 3 instead of 2. ARGHH!!!

Okay O level aside, I want to tell everyone that HSM3 is out in theatres!!! GO AND WATCH! I watched the previews and they were really good. on my to do list after the O Level will be, watch HSM3 and buy HSM3 soundtrack!!!

During the o levels was really nice because we can get to see each other again, so all the crying and what not during the graduation ceremony was really unnecessary. We get to catch up with each other and during that 5 hour break in between papers, I had fun mingling with them, and I have to say I laughed a lot. I was really bored that day and I need to get a laugh, for 5 hours. and then I slept for half an hour to regain my energy.

Next week is a special week. I have only 3 days of papers and really important ones, remaining 2 Sciences and Maths. Monday and Tuesday I am free to study so yeah. Oooh... Monday is Deepavali, so yeah celebration to all the Hindus. and Monday is my used-to-be Best friend's birthday. and then FRIDAY!!! YEAH!!!! WOOHOOO!!!! that's mine! So I know that nobody will be in the mood to celebrate, but I will do it myself. I will throw a huge party in my house and only personal invites are allowed. MUAHAHA!!! no, seriously I dont like parties, it's a waste of money for a short moment of joy. Anyway, I still have to study for the following monday's SS paper, so yeah, Yippy to SS to ruin my party plans!

then, I will be left with SS, Chinese and Science MCQ papers. Immediately after, I'll board the plane and back to Indonesia where I will get my well deserved break in 8 months, in time for my cousin's wedding. And the story continues after. SO get ready for my next update next saturday!

XOXO
