It's a sprint to the finish line.

It's the final lap of our 4 year race to the big O's. 38 days left. 38! No more procrastinating, no more slacking, no more day dreaming.

Prelims results are like the worst ever, or at least the most shocking. I really screwed up my chemistry paper. I got 9/30 for the essay question. 9! I was totally expecting a B3 or an A2 at least. I ended up with a B4. Gonna have to refresh on my basics for chem. Read and reread Chem Yeo's notes until they are imprinted in my memory and attempt the ten year series.

Physics was badly done. Although i got one of the higher marks, i thought it could have been much better. Made stupid errors here and there and left out the last page. Niceness. Plan for physics? Well i think my concepts are quite there already so i'm just gonna attempt O' level papers. Then memorize notes 2 weeks before the O's.

Biology was an A2. Not exactly satisfied with the result. I think it's due to the fact that i did the essay parts badly. Didnt really study for certain chapters and those came out. I'm making Bio notes now...just finished. I think i have about 4-5 more chapters to go. Doing them selectively.

English was an A2. I think my paper 1 saved me. I need to work more on my comprehension. I got a 11 or 12 out of 25 for the compre. Summary was surprisingly good this time. Although i think i was lucky. I need to practice more for that. Plan for English? 1 practice paper a week and 1 compo a week. Time for SJJ to have no life.

Combined Humans was an A1. Although i have to redo some notes but i should be fine. Plan for CH? One set of SBQ's a week. Yeah...LWL...you're gonna have no life now.

Amaths and Emaths were a disapointment. Although both were A1s, they werent in the safe 90% range. Never made so many careless errors before. Must cut down on those!

So the plan is simple. 4 weeks for making notes and doing papers, 2 weeks before O's for hardcore memorizing. Hope that works out fine.

I can do it. I will do it. I shall get that 6 points...You're MINE!

Now If I Were That Puppy...

Just Believe.

Alright. Let's set things straight. It's now or never. I can only do this once, and i'm gonna do it right. 7 weeks left to "O" Levels. No more distractions...nothing. It's gonna be crazy, it's gonna be mad, and I cannot be more ready for this than ever.

That being said I need to set certain restrictions from here on. I shall remove the computer, the guitar and limit my computer time to 1hr on weekends and 1/2 hr on weekdays. Need to organize my study schedule and prepare all the necessary stuff for MugFest '09. Let's see...a stack of foolscap, all my prelim past year papers...and coffee? Haha.

I think I shall try and not study at home. I really think my house isn't the most conducive place to study at. But i don't want to study with more than 4 people. I think 2 or 3 people is the best. Anyways I need to find a good location. School sounds cool for now because i can't think of anywhere else which would not be a distraction at the same time.

I can do this. This is my only chance and I'm not gonna blow it. Endure everything for the next 7 weeks. Just 7 weeks left! I can do it! I know I can and I WILL.

p.s. I think i will keep of Facebook seriously this time round. This is the final lap of the 4 year race and I'm not gonna let that get in my way.

I'll Be There For You....

Alright. I'm here now. Where should i start? uhhuh! Prelims just ended. Feeling a little lack of confidence in physics, chem and amath. Physics paper 2 I panicked cause i think i lacked time, so i coudnt think properly then i left the last page out. Chemistry i thought the paper was just weird. Like the way the questions were set. I can't really grade myself for paper1 though. As for Amaths, i think paper 1 i did rather ok but for Paper 2 i'm hoping an A2 perhaps? worst b3.

Anyways results should be out next week latest i think. Gonna take it easy till next Monday. Next Monday will be the beginning of the craziest 5-6 weeks of my life. I think i'm just gonna whack past O lvl papers everyday. I shall try and cram at least 2 if not 3.

I'm afraid that i can't concentrate at home now. If i lock the computer away, i will still walk around and like day dream at home. Zzzz unless i go to school...hmm i think that sounds conducive.

Hmmm what else should i talk about...yeah ok so FuturePlan. is taking part in the Saints Got Talent thing for Grad Nite. but we are facing some kind of a problem. We are missing a bassist. Russell doesnt want to play now for god knows why. Unless WE (that means you, Adam, and Mervin!) can convince him that 2 -4 hrs of practice wont harm his studies at all.

JK, Jerald, Adam, Mervin, Solo, Bart went shopping for Grad Nite outfits yesterday. Spent 6hrs where our legs became freaking jelly. Bought a shirt, a pair of pants and a vest. JK, Jerald and Adam bought the same stuff only different design and brand and Adam didn't buy a vest, and Mervin only bought a pair of pants cuz he thought that vests were gay and is not trying to toy with the idea that it ISNT gay. Yeah.

Oh yes...i almost forgot. haha. Chinese 'O' Level results came out during our prelims 2 weeks ago. I got a C6 which is a pass. Was very relieved to find out that i passed. Although i kinda wanted to retake cuz a C6 definetely won't look good on my report card...admist all the As...AHEM, i thought that my chinese foundation was never strong so it be hard to even maintain a C6 if i don't study, which is what everyone tells me to do, retake and dont study for it, but i think i would fail if i did that. So i think my time is better spent polishing my other subjects.

I realized that alot of people think i want to go VJC in the future but somehow deep inside (yeah...deep) i kinda feel that SAJC sounds better to me. I don't know why. Maybe cuz of the fact that most of us would be going there. But my mum really really wants me to go to VJC saying that a good JC would make alot of difference in the future. Also, i notice that SAJC's standard drop by quite abit. And my neighbour (who's from SAJC) told me i shouldn't go there if i can. She says that alot of the experienced teachers are quitting SAJC and very few teachers are left with at least 5 yrs of experience (this is for GP and civics tutors only, she didn't say about the science stream cuz she's in art). Abit of a dilemma here. But i think i shall focus on getting as low as i can get first without considering anything and leaving everything open.

So the next few weeks will be crazy. I hope i can come up with some kind of mugging plan.

Crazy is the forecast for the next 5 weeks....
