My first 2 days of hell

Random pic of cawanmushi I had... It was so cute! >w<



Tuition at Mr. Shafiq's! Haha I think Irene will be kinda surprised to see this photo here. =p



Mie Kuah... My mom bought this new bowl and I really like it! It's got this korean air about it... Hehe... And I ate my noodles with korean chopsticks too!



I had sore throat so this was what was in my bag... I mean WOW. I peed 15 times that day. Highest record of all time. Why I'm exposing that in my blog, I don't know.



A rat in school! 5th floor classroom.

Okay! Enough of photo sharing. Let's start with the blog~

As you all know! This week is IGCSE week for me. Next week will be Final Exam AS-Level week. The week after that is my second IGCSE week. So for 3 whole weeks, I will be having an exam every single day (almost). Well isn't that wonderful!

Last Saturday, I studied for Chemistry Paper 3 (structure questions) from 10am till 8pm. Sunday from 2pm till 9pm. I mean non-stop. Except maybe for lunch, shower and dinner. I mean... was I out of my mind? For two whole days, all I thought about was chemistry: Equations... Identification of cations, gases, metals, anions... Reactivity Series... Extraction of metals... Cracking... Zinc Blende (for some reason)... I memorized them in the toilet, in the shower, during meals, before I sleep... I mean wow. Really. Vina just doesn't go around with chemistry in her head. But then again there's a first for everything.

So Chemistry turned out okay, I guess. Except for the fact that I didn't study on how to gain pure copper from whatever thingy, and that costed me FOUR FRIKIN MARKS!!! But anywho.

Next up was Biology Paper 6. That's today, by the way. Hey that rhymes! So let me tell you how I studied for it... After Chemistry on Monday 4pm, I had tuition and reached home at 7pm. I was barely able to read the book. So I slept at 9pm.

But I woke up at 2am, in the middle of the night. Diagrams of biological structures infested my mind, and for some reason, S + O2 = SO2... IT WAS BUGGING ME BRAINS AN' I COULDN'T GET ANY SLEEP!!! Grrrr...! This is what happens when you study too much! I swear! In the end, after losing hope of getting any sleep, I did my Past Year Papers. Then at 3am, I finally managed to doze off.

Went to school usual time, studied, discussed problems with people, and finally, it was time for my Biology Paper 6. What can I say... I will hate tomatoes for the rest of my life now. It came out. And I screwed up. Also screwed up on the sexual reproduction in plant. I mean... sexual reproduction in plants. I could care less. -_-

After my Bio, I had my AS-Level Chemistry Practical Test. Ohmygod. It was so hard. And I had to repeat the dilution of stupid FA1 because the beaker wrote FA2 instead of FA1, so I did the wrong thing... Unbelievable isn't it? The most difficult part was the calculations... I swear I will get 0/12 on that thing. I gave up! Chemistry just isn't right for me! I knew it, I knew it...

Oh and we had a discussion about prom. We talked and talked, and my class persuaded me into joining prom (I was kind of lazy at first). I mean, now that I think about it, it will be the last time all of us can gather in one place and enjoy ourselves to the breaking point. Especially since I'll be going to uniprep, I won't be able to see them. Note: That's why, Chu, Susan, Ratna, I want you guys to be there!!!

After school, I gazed at the school corridor when I was about to go home, waiting for the lift. I realized that I might miss this school after all. Not because of the system (obviously), but all the experiences I've had in this small little 7-storey building. The times I suffered from stress, pressure... My crying and kicking in the toilet (more exposure on me! I'm feeling kind today) when I was so stressed because I felt hopeless from failing every Chemistry test no matter how hard I tried (see?). Annie Musical Drama in sec 1 which made up a huge part of me... The days when it was so HOT in class, but we studied anyway and never got free periods... Ahh... Sweet times, sweet times. =')

I feel slightly stunned by the fact that soon I will never see these people that I've been meeting every day of my life for 7 years. After IGCSE and the Final Exam, after all hell has broken loose, we have prom, and this chapter closes. I will move to Uniprep, study on design, abandon all knowledge on science I've gained from my whole life of education, meet new people, completely new teaching system... I don't know if I should be scared, or excited, but for this very instant, I know I'm feeling sad.
