Percubaan SPM, Day 5

Yesterday was all about memorisation, tomorrow is all about calculation.

Therefore, most of our minds are nearly crushed under the weight of formulae and as a result of twisting.

First paper for the day： the subject I conjecture most people fear the second most (the most would be Biology) - Add.Maths paper 2. Set by the notorious teacher KKS, the paper is thought to be diabolical, but gladly it turned out moderate. I can do some of the questions and I can't do some, but I choose not to leave anything blank.

Second paper for the day: Physics paper 2. I assume the paper is not going to be difficult because my teacher has told me prior to the exam that calculations in Physics have greatly reduced to nearly 20%. In Malaysia, Physics is not about calculation, it's about theory - Malaysia Boleh!

However, there are still quite a number of questions that left me discombobulated. But since it's over, I guess it doesn't matter much anymore.

Percubaan SPM, Day 4

Today is the embodiment of hell, as everybody is rushing to peruse (or plough through) 100+ thick biology reference book to sit for the exam.

The thing is, there's too much things to study for Biology and hours or days are not enough to cover them. Hence, some resort to sacrifice their slumber to prepare for their exam, and ergo, many people come to school with heavy eye bags, black face, and lack of spirit.

Anyway, to me, the paper is moderate. Some I can answer, some I can't. But this exam does one thing to me: I realise I like reading Biology, but I hate studying it.

Second paper for the day: Moral - the most useless subject in the universe. The paper is so BORING till many people drop off when they were trying to finish off the question papers. The questions are boring, and the answers are overwhelmingly long. Summary: Useless and Boring subject.

Percubaan SPM, Day 3

One week of holiday, but typical students would only frolic and play, and eventually waste the whole holiday.

I'm a typical student. So, you can conjecture what I did during the holiday.

The first and only paper for today: Chemistry Paper 2. Perchance we should pray and thank God for only arranging one paper for today. Time was ample for us to read, but, typical students would be distracted by the surroundings and eventually lured to speaking. I'm a typical student, so you might have known......

Ok. When the exam started, the rain bucketed down too. Owing to the direction of the moderately strong wind, some rain were blown into my class. And it was very unfortunate the window I was sitting beside couldn't be close. Therefore, I had to sit on the teacher's table. Very embarrassing....and it was further exacerbated by the fragrance of the cupcakes that wafted from the rubbish bin.

Anyway the paper was fine. It wasn't torturing, but it wasn't a cinch either. A moderate standard. I did quite well (I presume) but I hope my results is good too.

Well, I should start revising now.

Bad Habits Beget Troubles

I have been trying to think for a long time, trying to recognise the person who has been living with me for years.

Yes - I'm trying to fathom my personality.

It appears that nobody can truly see their true self, and I'm a subset of 'nobody'. Therefore, I sometimes turn to my friends for help, but they usually find this mortifying.

Well, I won't talk much about my bad habits or personalities (I do not think my personal lives should be shared with all and sundry)

One thing about me, that I'm sure all my friends loathe about and actually, I hate this myself, is that I couldn't control myself from lashing out or lamenting every time I see something that is not to my liking.

It's true - I admit this is my biggest flaw, and one that is deadly hard to eradicate.

But I would still try, with every effort I can make. I MUST TRY to kick this habit because it'll only haul my friends away, not drawing them to me.

For those I have behaved like this to them, please accept my sincere apology.

Merdeka!

Today marks the 54th anniversary of Merdeka!

54 years ago we were conquered by the British, and after a long struggle we finally managed to build our own nation and gain independence!

Hope all Malaysians work in harmony to prevent our country from being conquered by foreign countries again, and do remember what led to our country's independence: harmony and tolerance among three races that are so unique it bring about respect from other countries.

Let's appreciate our uniqueness and celebrate Merdeka together!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

To all Muslims all over the world, especially Malaysian Muslims (okay, I'm a bit biased :P) :

Hope you all have a great and prosperous future, and of course, may your wishes come true~~ !

Percubaan SPM, Day 2

The school didn't set a time for the exam, therefore we were left wondering when would the exam start. One thing we were sure was that exam would only start after the assembly. Well, the first paper for the day would be English paper 1. Formal letter came out, and thanks to Jeff I wasn't caught off guard by the unexpected and surprisingly unpopular format of question. As for the second part, I chose question 4 and now I'm worried I had written the essay wrongly. Actually, I think I did write it wrongly - slightly out of topic. Never mind, forget about that for now. Second paper for the day: Chinese paper 2. I spent 15 minutes finishing the first part and 45 minutes finished off the second part, and hence I had 45 minutes left for me to fidget in the class. I realised I was the quickest to finish the paper, and that notion hit me like a hammer because I didn't expect it. Either I was too smart or I was being lackadaisical, but I guess it doesn't matter much. For now.
