First and foremost , I would like to sincerely thank Blogpal aka BP . Frankly , I got no idea who you really are but whatever you told me simply made me feel better . Thanks alot . God bless .
The fever subsided on Sunday ( 2/11/08 ) . So I was really happy . I mean , I can focus on my General Paper ( GP ) . I love GP alot and I tend to do relatively well at it . Not amazingly well , but relatively . Mdm Mesenes have so much of hope and believe in me . I mean , before our study break started , she told me " Vitz , please do well for your GP la . Get at least a B for me . She knew that I aimed for an A grade and have been working towards it . But somehow , I've been writing really out of point until my motivation to ace GP reached its nadir , she told that I should at least get a B . I was telling her that I'll do it for my A levels .
And here I am , completely battered . Seriously , everyone have been complaining that this year is the killeryear whereby all the papers are going to be FISHING tough . I am more than convinced right now . Tamil Lit and GP down and here I am ranting my frustrations away . Why in the world are the papers this tough ? .
General Paper 2008
I swear , it was tough . Conan told me that apparently the whole of Singapore found it tough . Paper 2 was a killer . I had so much of good point for my AQ and I couldn't insert every one of them due to time constraint . I was writing like a maniac as fast as I could before they could utter "pens down" . So , my AQ's 3/4 done . I felt damn pissed with myself . I really wanted to kick my table and punch the wall until I bleed . I was that pissed . I was pissed with myself .
I chose Q2 - " How important are dreams ? " question for my essay . I was considering Q1- " Does the presence of a foreign power ever help a country with problems " , Q3 - " ' The more science advances , the more religion will decline ' . To what extent do you agree ? " and Q10 - " 'Contemporary music has no artistic value ' . Is this a fair comment ? " . I knew how to answer those questions but somehow , I fall in love with Q2 . So I chose it but I don't feel super confident either .
Ha , check out the irony . I am supposed to write an essay on the importance of dreams . But look , my dreams are completely shattered . I really don't get their rationale of setting killer papers . Students mug hard with the believe of doing well and yet , halfway through their papers , they know they are going to screw up big time . I am not joking about this , but I've been seeing and hearing friends complain and some even sealing their faith after today's paper . Check out what I've been hearing .
1) Person A told me that he/she screwed up his/her History paper and is contemplating to go for the next History paper . Apparently , a question that have never been tested before was tested this time and apparently , schools don't go in depth with that kind of question .
2) " The GP paper was like @#$%^ . GP sial , if its gone then you're gone . Forget it , I'm not going to do my As " - Person B
3) " Mom , I'm planning to go to Australia to continue my studies because I know deep down that I'm going to flung my papers . I'm sorry mom " . - Person C
4) " I'm having my science papers tomorrow . I not going to go " - Person D .
Now , they are not the only ones . Some are very sensitive and I don't wish to insert . So they are trying to paralyse us and shatter our dreams by setting killer papers right ? . Anyways , I am at world's lowest point right now . I am completely drained of all mental and physical strength . Funnily , I've even ran out of tears . Damn , I'm so sick and tired of ranting about my papers . Really .
My own train of thoughts
I was so depressed earlier that I decided to watch " Ankahee " . Actually I was dying to watch the whole flick because I fall in love with Shreya Ghoshal's rendition of " Ek Pal Ke Liye " . She's got amazing voice . So , today I caught that flick . I must really mention this . It like a love triangle with a unqiue twist . Aftaab Shivdasani , Amisha Patel and Esha Deol acted really well . Aftaab and Amisha were married with a 5 year old daughter . Aftaab's a loving husband and father . He works as a doctor by the way . So one day , Esha who got the label as the Miss World gets into Aftaab's clinic with a severe cut to her wrist . Then , everything else begins . It's a very touching love story - love of a wife , the love of a husband , the love of a lover and the love of a child . Please watch this film guys . It rocks . I am really impressed with Esha Deol . Rock on babes . And Aftaab looks macho in this film . He used to have that boyish charm but now he has shed it for a more matured and macho look .
I met Ms Pushpa Arumugam in my school and she told me that I gained weight . Haha , she said my body size still looks the same but my face has become chubbier . Haha . Btw , I am not excited . That was a fluke .
I'm sipping ice lemon tea . haha .
