From the sch's emb
"This is to inform you that on 10Nov our CPE(Chief Presiding Examiner) has informed SEAB(School Examinations and Assessment Branch of MOE) regarding some problems with Q2 in Section A Bio Paper 2.
Please be assured that SEAB is working closely with the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) on this matter. Your answers will be assessed fairly and you will not be disadvantaged in your results."

How comforting... first the chem prac... now this. i wonder wat's next... why does it have to be this year??? its not tt i'm worried if they'll give full marks of minus all makr sfor tt qn since everyone'll be the same but the time we spent thinking abt tt faulty qn (i spent at least 15min on it) affected the quality of our subsequent qns n how are they gona compensate tt? we spend 2 yrs (more if u wana exaggerate) studying for this paper n they give us qns tt are not doable. how swell.

Nice going cambridge.

mon - e math p2 - haiz... ok la i supposed... not as free frag as i had expected... i suppose it was to balance out the easy paper 1. nothing too diff here tho... err cant rem how many i got wrong... hmmm... worst part abt this paper? i was doing it with a headache n a serious running nose... kaoz... used up 1 whole packet of tissue and kinf of ran out so like for the remaining 45min i was sniffing all the way... damn cham man... feel so sorry for all those in the same rm as me. oh well.. its e math anywae so wat can i sae? i better get a freaking a1 for THIS at least man.

wed - geog mcq - easy. finished in half an hour. so far no mistakes... so far. whee~ - bio - dead. dead dead dead. screwed. its kinda like the prelim phy prac reincarnate. so far mcq i noe i got 3 wrong liao. the section b was reli screwed up. section a qn 2 was stupid. they gave this graph saying pupil size decreases with light intensity. like... relli loh! EVERYONE i asked so far cannot come up with any explanation for tt. even alfred la... n i asked my sis she oso cannot explain. so totally lame... hoping they wud jus cancel the entire qn out. mebbe wun die so badly then. haiz... relli underestimated the paper man... previous yr's bio papers were fairly easy... june paper was EASY... so i expected this paper to be more or less free frag too... esp after the freak prac i was tihnking they wud balance it out with easy theory papers... haiz... i suppose it was not to be...

so anywae... as said, had a headache on mon so i din manage to study at all... came home to sleeeepppp.... felt better after tt but it was still lingering... then tuesdae went to collect my ipod! yay... it was kind weird cos i was relli pissed with them for taking so long to repair the thing, esp since i saw the solution to my prob on the net rite after i sent it for repair... den... they gave me a new one! one-to-one exchange haha... whee so now i got a brand new scratch free fingerprint free ipod... my old one had a small scratch at the corner of the screen... i suppose good things do come to those hu wait hehe... den after tt went to applecenter at bukit timah to take a look at the skins... the applecenters at orchard n ikea din sell the new evo2 covers so i wanted to try my luck... as luck had it, i found 3 colours of the iskin evo2. white, purple, pink. which did i choose? u guess. so now my ipod has a brand new coat of rubber n a clear screen protector. yay. hot. next target: speakers.
so i guess tt signals the end of another o level week.... 1 more week to go! woot. then it'll all be over.... jus cant wait... pity it'll be the most intensive week of all with 2 science papers, geog p2, hist n a math. the final hurdle! gogo!

n i left my freaking entry proof AND ic under my desk for like the 5th time now... argh!
