Tomorrow is the release of the Report Books. It should be typical for me as my results are always so-so, but somehow I'm afraid and I feel tensed. Many tough, grueling and tedious learning lay await for me this coming June holidays. School is as usual for me in June. The birds chirping happily and the morning sun shining brightly is what I see and hear every morning when I move those legs of mine to school.
Got briefed on the MT 'O' Levels exam today. We're suppose to ensure that we bring important things like our IC/EZ-Link to school in order to sit for the exam. Because this will be our first time taking an actualy 'O' Level exam, the atmosphere would certainly be extremely tensed. There's also this barcode thing where we have to peel out and paste in our our exam scripts. With the Prelims fast approaching too, we can forget about our holidays, it's time to press on!

4 days to the Mother Tongue 'O' Levels exam. I'm not sure if I'm even mentally and physically prepared. Have been thinking about several things lately, some things never seem to go away, no matter how hard I try to forget about them. Problems, more problems and even more problems. Everytime I thought they were solved, they seem to come back again, how ridiculous.

Chinese Mock Exam papers, they just keep coming. I have no choice but to take them down one by one. Can I do it?

The good news is exams are over and I can enjoy and have fun well at least for a few days because Mother Tongue 'O' Levels are coming.

Finally, a much needed break. I think I really deserved this long 3 day break as exams would only resume next Tuesday. Let's see, over the course of this week, I have gone through many many new 'experiences'.
On Monday, it was my English and E Maths Paper 1. I was feeling alright, even though I never had the chance to take the exams in the hall and as a whole before, as I was surrounded by several other students from my level. I knew very clearly that these people would be the ones who will be vying for the highest honours later this year. In addition, I'll not only be competing with my friends, but the whole of Singapore. Yeah, every Secondary 4 and 5 students in over a 100 Secondary schools. The journey ahead seems to be long, exhausting and tedious, but I'm mentally prepared for this arduous task. Day 1 of war just went by in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, I was back in my bedroom, preparing for Day 2 of war.
On the second day, it was my Mother Tongue exams, and yes for awhile, Chinese seems to be the most difficult subject for me. I've failed quite a number of class tests previously and I wasn't feeling very confident that I could do it this time. I needed something to boost my morale. And guess what, it was this little ingenious gadget that somehow made my day for Paper 1. A few days ago, I managed to borrow the gadget from Jonathan Ho :) I want to thank him for that as it literally saved me for Paper 1. I don't know why but, I seem to be good at coming out with Chinese words and idioms. But I don't have a clue on how to write those words when it comes to writing, however I'm glad that I still can manage simple words. I think this phenomenon is due to my laziness, as my Mum speaks Chinese. I also watch Chinese dramas, so I tend to know lots of words. But I don't really write often, maybe that's why I forget how to write certain words.
The third day was Social Studies and E Maths Paper 2. Had to flip through the textbook and my Longman guide to answering SBQs. I find the paper alright, the only drawback was that your hands have to move constantly in order to complete the paper on time. E Maths Paper 2 took a toll on me, sitting on the chair for 2 hrs 30 mins was downright tiring. It kind of affected my ability to focus, especially towards the end of the paper. The long parts of each question made my day worst. But, this is rather normal as E Maths Paper 2 tend to be the more difficult and challenging one.
On the fourth day, the pressure was building up. I was set to take on the POA Paper 2and the Geography Elective paper. Despite the air-conditioned environment, I could feel my palms sweat. Time was slowly ticking away, as I constantly looked at the clock after finishing a question. The atmosphere was just too much to bear. But I knew I had to hang on. Fortunately, I managed to finish the paper on time. As for Geography, I thought I did okay for the paper. I had the option of choosing to answer 2 out of 4 questions, and I didn't regret at all. Natural Vegetation was a familiar topic for me. I also knew some concepts for the chapter on Development. I'm glad I did well.
Today, I woke up at around 10am. I didn't like Chemistry, it was one of my worst subjects, along with Chinese. As per normal, I wasn't feeling confident like what happened on Tuesday. But still, I had to pick up my pen and at least put in my best effort to score some marks. I didn't want my efforts which I had put in, in the past few days to go down the drain just like that. Much to my horror, I find the Chemistry paper a little difficult today. All I can say is I've already put in my best and I hope for the best. The 3 day break is a good time for my to recharge my batteries as many battles still awaits me.
The Ups and Downs of Life - Chapter 2
Sometimes I see your face looking at me,
All your love and grace smiling at me,
All the things we had and never understood,
At times it cuts me up thinking of you,
All the hope has gone wasted on you,
All the talks we had never did no good.
I wonder what would happen,
If that day never came,
Perhaps it would never have started,
Perhaps I would be the same old person,
Or perhaps...
Perhaps;

I'm someone who is shy, especially towards girls because all my life I've been studying in a all boys school. I only have a brother and almost all of my cousins are guys too, so I can't help it (: However, I really open up when I know my friends well enough, we'll do things together, have fun together and maybe even study together? haha
