CHEEJ'S BOXES OF STUFF

it could have been worse..

MUCH worse..

i dun blame u if ur confused now, cos if u are, i have done a good job..

heh.

ok anyway, as u probably have deduced from the title, today was emath 1 and geog elec. it was ok i guess..i, and probably the whole sec 4 corhort, walked into the exam hall a.k.a the auditorium expecting a killer paper. of course, it didnt help that our math teachers had been going crazy giving us past year papers from all over singapore and telling us that if we didnt get a so and so score in a so and so paper, we'd be dead come the prelims.

so..it could have been much, much, much worse..

the atmosphere was tense, so thick that u could cut it with a blunt doorknob. everyone was dreading the words "you may begin"; yet, they wanted to see what the school had planned for their downfall..as those cursed words were uttered by the great dalwie herself, everyone, in typically cliched synchronised fashion, flipped open the blue-cover-sheet-ed qn papers and looked at the qns. surprisingly, it wasnt too bad, quite do-able, and extremely contrary to what the coolio desyap had predicted for us..

that sly dog..

however, and may i stress, HOWEVER, there were discrepancies hidden in the paper..

*actually, they werent printed, so i wouldnt know..heh heh..*

topics usually present in the paper 1 were missing! topics such as probability, loci and, the silent killer, standard form!

*CSI-like tone* all the evidence points to a killer emath paper 2..

looks like, as our friendly local weathercaster desyap has said, our doom awaits..

*thunder and lightning* *evil laughter heard in background*

*shivers*

and of course, there was geog elective.

u pple would know how i feel abt geog elective..my previous entry covers that quite adequately..

suffice to say, today's paper was..anal. not in the HUGE grey men from URanus kinda anal, but HUGE sumo wrestler kinda anal..perverted kinda anal..

map reading was horrid..give us a freakishly huge map, and ask us to look at an area only 5 grid-squares square. not to mention a lousy river that has features so small that i wont be surprised if it caused the myopia (or whatever) in my eyes to rise a notch.

horrible qns that wanted detail (for bloody once! and during prelims some more!) and blooming common sense. "specific examples" were their exact words. or more specifically, "examples specific to monsoon asia" and "examples specific to peninsular malaysia".

all to be done in the space of 1hr30min.

joy.

it didnt help that for this paper i was sitting 2nd from the front, under the auditoriums notoriously weak but huge aircons.

lets jus say that they could have picked a better time to start on supplements.

on a lighter note..

poor yi jun..he kinda screwed up on geog, doing the wrong qns..we were supposed to do qns 1, 2 or 3, 4 or 5 or 6. he ended up doing 1, 2, 3 and half of 6. the poor guy..i wont post too much details on him here..go to his blog, he's probably gonna use more than one screen's worth of diaryland entry ranting about it. find him in my links on the right of your screen *vanna white smile*

*sighs*

scheduled for tomorrow: physics and lit paper 1..two crazy mugging papers in one day..i will refrain from ranting abt them today, you'll hear from my brain cells tml..

that is, IF their synapses, axons, dendrons, dendrites, nodes of ranvier and myelin sheaths are still functioning..i think i'll have to hire domestic help for them soon..heh heh..

the dendrites are especially important..without them, the domestic help wouldnt be much help, would it?

*insert knowing grin here*

oh well..my cranial cavity seems to be overheating now..gonna pop some ice..

cya tml fellas..
