A Race Nearing Completion, Perhaps?


1 more to go!!!!

Yes people I just finished my 7th (albeit the most difficult one) paper today - Chemistry P4! I will just say the paper is quite manageable. Shouldn't have any problems... I hope.

So one more week till the last paper. Hopefully that goes well as well. Then I will officially be done with my A2, and thus completing my A Level! Of course assuming there is no crazy accidents, which itself a powerful assumption. And a dangerous one too.

Really looking forward to post-A level days. Partly because immediately after the last paper (yes immediately after my last paper), I'll be heading straight for MPYO camp. Thank God the exam schedule didn't really clash with the camp too badly. Otherwise I would have to miss another camp again. Boy, speaking of it make my hand itch for some workout! xD

But that's not the whole reason. The main reason is because the completion is an indication of the end of a another stage of my life. Short, yes, that phrase might be, it stands to be the most definitive year of my life. The amount of things that I have learnt within a short window of 1 & 1/2 years was just so astonishing. But one of the most marked changes was my output and the growth of my passion. It is during this phrase did I finally found what I want to be doing as my career. Really astonishing year I went through, and I am really glad I chose what I chose.

Anyway, in one week time and I'll be off the hook! A sign for more yumcha sessions? Anyone? ;)

Till then,

The Halfway Milestone


5 down, 3 more to go!

If you don't know what these numbers mean, they are actually the numbers I had, or will be taking in due course, for my A2. Let's see, I finished all my Math paper. Wasn't really a walk in the park, but I am feeling confident about that. Perhaps not a perfect score, as you never know what you did wrong, but I think it should be alright. Chemistry P5 was a lot more tricky. I guess no one expected it to be a bloody curve (is it a curve?), but other than that shouldn't be a problem.

However, further math is a bit of a disappointment. It was tricky (aren't they all), and although i plough through the paper, after the paper I realise I have 2 mistakes. Minor though the mistakes, I think I am going to be penalised quite heavily. All because I was careless. Sigh, looks like that secondary aim might just prove too hard to accomplish. I know I still got P2, but even if I get perfect (which is almost impossible, it's an applied further math paper. Impossible to get perfect), I think my mistakes are enough to make me lose that goal. O well, what matters most is that I get a good result, right?

Coming up next week will be an even greater challenge, Chemistry P4! The hardest of all papers in my opinion. It is also the 2nd last paper besides further math 2, which has a one week period between them. For some of my friends it is the last. Hopefully all is well!

Chemistry P4 is up next! Got to go!

Till then,

BUSY!


HI PEOPLE!!

I realise how long I left this blog idle. To those who actually stop by and read my blog, I AM SO SORRY! Just couldn't find the time to blog. Either that, or I really don't feel like it when I do have the time.

But today is a special day where I get both together at the same time-space. A rarity since the semester started about 5 months ago. Which is my last in Sunway! I finished my last class officially on Thursday 5th of May 2011 3.00 P.M. I am excited to see what's next in my life!

If I don't screw up my A2.
If I get some sort of scholarship to further my studies overseas.

Actually, I just realise my immediate future has a lot of "if"s in it. Well, hopefully, by some divine intervention, I would get what I want, and hopefully I'll be in... Think I'll leave my lines there until I am there.

Just a quick review what happen during my absence from the blogosphere. Hmm... Normally I would have tons of workload, especially in Further Math. Say bye-bye to that! But actually, I really enjoyed myself doing those works, however burdensome it may be. I really enjoy doing math! Yeah I know, some might be pointing me to the nearest asylum, but hey, that's my passion.

Then I miss the MPYO March camp. What a pity! Class clashes with the camp. O well...

Constantly having class with the MPYO percussion, with esteemed tutors from MPO. Really enjoyable, although I must say working from scratch isn't much thrill in itself. Still, everything starts from basic right?

Then the mock exam. Which was horrendous. I did quite badly for both Chemistry and Physics. Math and Further was all right, but honestly I felt disappointed with some mistakes I made. Hopefully the best saved from last, and my subconsciousness will unleash it's best form during exam. Secondary Aim!!!! Still, the result of all my subject is the primary aim, so work is still very much needed for that my grey cells!

And today I finished my first paper... Physics paper 4! Not bad at all... felt quite good coming out of that paper. May not be perfect, but hey a good result is all I ask for. Felt confident, much much better than the sorry piece of paper that is my mock physic paper 4, so shouldn't be much a problem. One down, seven more to go!

And unknowing to most, I am actually doing an extra math paper - STEP III. Some of you might have heard it before, it's Sixth Term Examination Paper. It is a math paper, required by some university for some course (most notably University of Cambridge for Mathematics, but no I got rejected by the Uni from reading that course...) I just took cause I wanted to do more papers and try to learn more. But I ain't kidding you when I said that the paper is extremely tough... ATROCIOUSLY hard. It's so freaking hard, you are only expected to finish 6 questions. Majority wouldn't even complete 4. Let me put it into prospective... the first time I did the paper, I was stuck in one question for 2 hours and finally gave up, referring to answer scripts. I am not that smart, an important realisation after I did the first paper and saw how the paper ridicule me. The paper is really though... I just hope I would do reasonably well. A 2 will be really good, but I am hoping a 1. An S grade is totally out of question, that's up for grabs for genius, not for me.

My nights have been filled by revisions, past years, STEP III, and music! Wouldn't know how I'll last those lonely nights without a Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, or how I will deal with my own doubts without Bruckner's 9th Symphony. Which is currently my favourite symphonic piece, besides Mahler's Symphonies. I still have tons of Mahler I haven't yet got for myself... A task I will accomplish after my A2. Looking for Shostakovich's 4th as well. If any readers happen to have a really good recording and don't mind sharing with me, I am all ears! xD

Next week will be really hectic! That week ends with STEP III - you tell me! Hopefully I will pull through and wouldn't die horribly.

Time to sleep! Tomorrow will be more STEP and chemistry on the menu for me! Anyone feeling hungry yet?

Till then,

OVER AND OUT!!! (3:45 AM)
