SHIT! SHITTY SHITTY SHIT!! I'VE RUINED MY BIOLOGY PRACTICAL!! And it's not Prelims, mind you, it's O Levels!! Their English used is so "cheem cheem" one...luckily my command of English is rather good to comprehend what they're trying to say...lol...All was okay until I was told to find the concentration of the solution which would not cause any change in the size of the stupid onion ring. I was like.."what the hell?"...how to find? Even the intersection point would have a change...until they told me after the practical to draw negative graph. NEGATIVE GRAPH? OH CRAP! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SUCH THING!! Should brush up more on my Maths...haiz...
And there was this instruction to scrap of one side of the leaf to expose it. When I first read it, I was stunned. I just sat frozen at my place, trying to "decipher" the hidden meaning behind it. Then the thought of raising my hand asking for help flitted through my mind. Should I or should I not? In the end, I decided against it as it might cause a loss in marks. So...yup...I tried to digest the sentence slowly, word by word and then go into action. Thankfully for Seok Teng in front of me...ha ha!
Another thing I would like to express my gratitude for her was the starch test...Stage 1 and 2 were like weird to me...I know they're not martian to those who are well-versed in Biology, but they are to me. The sample was first boiled in ethanol then water. Then they asked me to state Steps 3 and 4. Again, I sat there trying to think why there were steps like 1 and 2 involved in starch test. Until I saw Seok Teng in front of me putting the sample on a white tile and dripping iodine onto it. So it gave me an idea at least to pen down something.
Stage 3: Put the sample on the white tile.
Stage 4: Drop a few drops of iodine onto it.
As I write it, I felt like laughing...I mean, it's so stupid...putting the sample on a white tile as a step...lol...but well, when you're desperate, leaving a blank is even worse than writing something stupid there.
Hui Min called and informed me to go down to AJ tomorrow for the HK trip briefing. Going down is okay, but the timing to go there is kind of...late! 5:30pm. Princess Hours is at 7...and Charmed at 8:30...must reach home before 8pm...hmm...
To sum it up, I think that the practical I most fear is actually Chemistry. Because I totally screwed that up. I only managed a 10 out of 40. Damn it!! Hopefully I can manage my time better during the real "O"s. Or else, it's "Sayonara" to my A for Chemistry. AND I'M COUNTING IT FOR MY R5!! AH CRAP!!!!
PS: I HAD AN A2 FOR MY CCA GRADE!! Well, not counting my participation in the SYF when I was in Sec 1. Mr Ling doubted me...can't blame him, I was the only Sec 1 to participate then...so I told him to ask BT if he is still skeptical about it. Since we got a Silver, I most probably could get another 2 points. 24+2=26. AN A1!! WOO-HOO! This shows that you can still get an A without being any section leader or holding posts...THAT'S 2 BONUS POINTS FOR ME!! YAY!!!
