    UPDATE
    Sunday, November 2, 2008

    Okay, I forgot to update yesterday so here it goes.

    So this week, I had to sit for Physics, Maths and Biology paper. I have to say that week 2 papers were generally harder than week 1's. In spite of my fervent revision for the papers, i have to say i was utterly disappointed with my performance this week.

    So physics was the first of the series of papers this week. I was expecting the question to be rather doable with most similar to those that I have done. I tried my very best to revise all the chapters focusing most on those that I dont seem to do well during the prelims. Pressure, moments, energy and forces, those were the ones that i focused most. However, the paper surprised me. All those topics that my teachers considered optional appeared as major questions in the paper. and most of those that I focused on didnt come out, like pressure, moments, the major parts of electricity (the minor ones appeared like diode, electricity transmission). I was totally stumped, most of the time i was cracking my head real hard to recall what my teacher had said. I tried my best to explain it as careful as i could, trying my best to include all the necessary keywords. Maybe because of that, I could not complete the paper by 8 marks. I was devastated, I didnt manage to read the question myself and i didnt know that the invigilator started collecting from 0031. So it's like by the time i dropped my pencil, they are already there to take the paper away from me. I know that I am not going to excel in this paper, but I am hoping that I had done the SPA well and paper 1 will be much simpler than this.

    Next paper to terrify the students, E Maths paper 2. After we have done paper 1, we thought that paper 2 would not be as hard as evident by A maths paper 2. But i think that it's harder than paper 1. I did not have time to check my answers, but I tried my very best to minimise the careless mistakes which I did for A Maths paper 1. Surprisingly, this time, the paper did not screw the students with all the significant figures confusion. Well, in spite of all these, I have to say that I have done my best with this paper.

    Finally, the last paper of the week, biology. The subject that everyone dreaded most. In biology, there are 3 ways we can classify the chapters, Animals, Plants and Basics of heredity (mitosis, meiosis, DNA, fertilisation). Everyone would have been able to remember all the necessary requirements for Animals and Plants, what everybody else was worried most is the last few chapters with the most information. We prayed hard that the qeustions would not be as difficult. Our prayers had been answered, even with a greater privilege. None came out from those chapters. No DNA, no meiosis, no mitosis, no protein making. aside from that, the questions were pretty much manageable. There were a lot of one word/line answers and definitely a lot of drawing and Labelling. Overall, i have to say that the subject that we fear most wasnt much to fear of. Instead, physics was a definite killer.

    Okay, now that week 2 is over, 2 more weeks left to freedom. Next week, Social Studies and Chinese, again. Well, I think I am prepared with Social studies. Now I only have to focus on details like evidence. For chinese, I am rather unbalanced. I think I know my stuff, but I dont know if my stuff is enough to get me distinctions. Anyway, that dictionary which killed me in the prelims had been banished from my sight. I only have to prepare for how i deliver my sentences properly.

    Now that's over, I was rather sad that O level is going to be over soon. All the 4 years that I have been preparing for the exams is over is in 2 weeks time. There is probably nothing else that I can do during the well deserved break because there'll be no homework. I have to think of something productive to do during this break and hopefully I can improve on my skills. I'll Update you next week, probably wednesday immediately after Chinese.
