Final Phase.
OK. so here i was, all self-satisfied doing history notes and i, out of the blue, realised that the modem was giving me this seductive stare. it happened whilst the more complicated aspects of orgnising history.
i shld really lock the modem up. it probably cost me my deserved scores in prelims. but oh well, there's no saying that now.
so this is a bit late to be entitled 'final phase'. actually, not exactly. i just got back geog and history today. the day before was almost as if we were living the under the purges all over again.
we went through 1 paper yesterday (wed) and thats enough to get one severly depressed. 1 paper. thats all it took. 1 paper. mark was saying that 'wednesday' sounded all very creepy. he was right.
well, let see, what paper could be so destructive as to cause multiple suicide incidents in bishan. (i'm kidding, so dont do any police report)
the criteria is as follows.
1. crucial sbject.
2. poorly done by the level.
3. one day allocated to 1 paper would mean we spent most of the day just sitting down, staring at our grades, feeling all very helpless. in other words, it takes a rather lengthy period to go through.
ok, you guessed it. its none other than our dear L1, English. utterly depressing. 20 people in the level got As. and thats only after oral became 34%. i wont state the reason behind that. cuz, i cant get my mind off the blasted paper. it was seriously very bad. like, very. bad.
because i'm all frustrated about it, i shall senslessly rant throughout the entire post about the injustice done to us. not so much of paper 2, but the essay writting section.
compo. i thought i screwed up. in the end, i still passed, but with a tinge of hate speech scribbled around the borders of my script. T-goh hates me. and, gee, i dont have a clue why he hates me so. 'too arrogant to indicate your class'. thats what he wrote. one of the things he wrote. but, what the? too arrogant to indicate your class? what's that supposed to mean? i know he thinks i'm overly-confident of my english, which i am not btw, but what's the link between forgetting to write my class on the answer sheet and being hubristic? link? LINK? to add on to that, he cirlced one in every 10 words for spelling errors. but, but. he commented that they werent in actual fact spelling errors, but illegibility. he had no qualms over my grammar, my sentance structure, logic flow. just the hand writting. and of course, my attitude. considering all this, plus the fact thaqt i thought i was rather incoherent, a pass is really not all that bad. but hey, this is prelims. nobody's gonna listen to my sob story here.
functional. this was the limit. Ms Serene Xia Cannot Mark. thats my topic sentance for the next few paragraphs.
first, she sets a paper with a task of writing a recipe. thats nonsense. actually, its not so bad, but when she marks the feasibility behind the selection of dishes, the amounts of oil added to the recipe etc, than its totally unreasonable.
so, i failed home econs in lower sec, does that mean i have ot fail my english O level together with it? this is Cat High, an All Boy's school. we dont hang out in each others kitchens and borrow cooking books ftom the library damn it.
secondly, she than says we dont have enough details. like instructing the reciever to turn on the stove. thats absolutely riduculous.
i mean, perhaps we should have instructions to teach the towhomitmayconcern how to open the fridge, take out the food, close the fridge etc.
thirdly, and the worst of all her sins, is that she told her classes beforehand about the question. now thats the limit.
i'm not too sure whether she explicitly told them or they infered form her more than blatent hints, but what's now common knowledge is that those students were flipping through their momm's recipe books the day before the paper.
what's also tangible is that she gave them excercises on wrtting a recipe. the Eng HOD said they wanted to give us a 'surprise topic'. yeah right. it sure did give us a surprise. but there's no level-plaing field that makes it fair.
i shant blabber about how she makred my language component cuz i shld really get back to history soon.
dude, cool down. there's no need to get all fired up.
sigh, i wish i took mark's advice. i think i really blasted my teachers. i dont often flare up. thought recently i have done so more often.
its really because in sec3, i was trying to improve my rhetorical style of speaking. so, i thought to myself, the key is to feel for what you stand for. so, ever since, i've been feeling for everything. feeling very eccentrically. i liked the sound of blasting. now. i just miss my 'neutral' stance i took in sec 2.
anywz, to the cruz of the entry, L1R5.
very disapointing.
i havent recieved back my hist SEQ, but lets be optimistic and consider it a 1, since i got 20 for SBQ and 22, 15 for SEQ and SBQ for SS respectively.
that way, i'll have 2 1s, 2 3s, 2 4s and 2 7s.
thats horrendous. like, 16 points. and thas being optimistic. oh yeah, and i havent counted my earlier prelims which's score is long forgotten. i just remeber it wasnt very good.
moderation. man. thats the talk of town nowadays. yup, robin, last year's mod was drastic. but i kind of doubt that HBK will dare pull-off such a stunt this year. than again, it's his last chance to do it. there's alot of other arguments to it. whats more is that with 3 prelims, moderation becomes mega-complicated.
and now, i've really decided, i do want to go VJ. i have every reason to want to be there except the travelling time of course, that i could do without. but otherwise, its been like our predestined future since sec2. now? i seriously dont know if i can slip in. maybe i should really just break-a-leg and not worry too much about it. C=.
but still, i dont want to let the seniors down. considering that certain loyalists have decided to flock elsewhere. and i certaintly will not accept many other seniors as seniors. k. many. not all. yeah, you shld know who that should be.
agh. i shld really lift it up to God. recently, due to my lack of following up i guess, i have put my life on sail and allowed myself to drift to wherever nature leads me. easier said than done. few can totally let go of their concerns to anything. of course, God should be very much an exception. oh well, i shld really really not be blogging at this point of time, though i suspect i'll be back soon. haha, steph - i've obviously gottne my kickstart. i guess its easier when you know that you've never really studied before the pre-1week of your prelim. you'd better find your motivation back soon. you dont want to drop out in the last lap. it'll be such a pity. all the best!
the moderator.
he's back again.
and this is his last chance.
oh, thats HBK btw.
somebody be superman.
