7th day (Thursday)
I knew it! A-Maths paper 2 WAS more challenging compared to the first paper. RV definitely came out. So it was a loss of 5 marks immediately for me. The first question already stunned me. They gave this: If f(x)= x + 2 and g(x)= x³, find the composite function of x³+ 2. If I'm not wrong, I did come across such a question at TYS. I didn't do it straight away though, because I just couldn't recall how to do it. So I headed to do other questions and then returned to question 1. True enough, I did manage to find a bit of inspiration so I managed to save 3 marks. Actually, it's 8 marks. Initially, I didn't know how to solve question 7, the tangent to the curve thingy. But the minute the supervisor said "Stop!", it hit me on the head and within 3 minutes, I wrote down my answer, writing like crazy despite his numerous shouts to me. But I couldn't care less, if his shoutings could earn me another 5 marks, why not?
Then it was Chemistry Paper 1. Again, the first question left me shocked. I was wondering- why do examiners like to stunned people with the first question? It gradually got better at the later part. Hopefully, I can score because Chem is part of my R5. Apparently, my hopes were extinguished when it came to paper 2. Oh my goodness! Only miracles can save me now.
While everyone was shouting for joy and screaming their heads off, I still had another paper to go for the next day.
And it was at this time Rachel dropped the bomb on me. Its effect was even worse than any nuclear or atomic bomb one can ever imagine. It totally tore my whole heart asunder. I've never felt so heartbroken before. I was in no mood to memorise anymore History facts. For the whole night, Rach's words rang through my mind. The "best" part is, I couldn't do anything about it even if I knew. I was useless...all I could do was to lie there and cry, hoping something would happen. Obviously nothing is going to change this fact! =(
Last day (Friday)
Yipee!! It's finally the last day!! BUT...the History paper sux totally! Inference didn't come out, ok, so it did. But it was about the purpose of the source. DAMN! And United Nations popped out! Ahh!!! It didn't come out for the past 4 years. Why?? That stupid chapter has so little information, there's practically nothing to write about. So I was left with no choice but to crap my way through to answet the other question, on Chapter 3. Luckily I studied that. Wanted to do Cold War one, but then...don't know what the hell question (b) was talking about...sometimes I just wish they would write in simple English so that a dumbo like me could comprehend it.
So I found myself sitting on the MRT on the way to Sembawang 30 minutes later, peering out of the window and staring at the scenery in awe like some kind of "swa ku" (country bumpkin). It's like I've never sat the MRT for ages, since...October? It's only the bus that I take to and from school. Borrowed some lovely Charmed books for reading leisure too...
SHIT! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY HOLIDAY'S TOTALLY RUINED! AJ just called to say they're starting practices next Tuesday...from 9 to 7!!! AH!! I'm sad just thinking about this. I certainly did not strive to complete my Os to suffer during the holidays...damn it!! Hopefully God will provide me with a leeway and some breathing spaces in such a hectic schedule.
