Fell from cloud nine.

Back again.
Well, I got back by O'level Mother Tongue (MT) and Direct Poly Admission (DPA) results yesterday and I was happy yet ... miserable.
I attained a B3, with a Distinction for my Oral for MT. I had expected a B3 for my Mother Tongue written exams, for my Chinese isn't that awesome in the first place. So I just predicted a B3, which came true. An A would be an added bonus for me. But getting a distinction was JUST AMAZING! I HAD NEVER EXPECTED TO GET A DISTINCTION! In fact, I was afraid I would even fail it! So it was PURE JOY AND ASTONISHMENT to me! (:
However, the worst was to come. At 2pm, I logged onto the DPA Portal to retrieve my results, and reality hit me. I wasn't accepted into my desired course. I fell from cloud nine. That day, I just kept thinking of how my life would change if I was accepted. Being accepted, I need not have to work so hard to get all As for my subjects as well, the criteria would be much more lenient. Now, as the cut off point is a 10, I am so gonna die, trying to get excellent results! Or else, I couldn't get into my favourite course. Even till now, I keep questioning myself where did I go wrong during the interview. Why couldn't I meet their pre-requisities?! Haiz. )):
So yeah. Oh, my English exam went smoothly I guess. I had no hiccups, and finished Section One of my compo in like 30mins? I was literally rushing to complete it, lest I had a lack of time. But I bet my storyline is so unrealistic.
The question was , " Write about a time where you were treated unfairly but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise." And you know what I wrote?
Student councillors in my school were going on a trip to New York --> the coaches had no seat for me --> I cabbed to the airport --> missed the plane --> terrorists hijacked the plane --> plane crashed into the North Tower --> everyone on board died --> except me. hehehe.
Isn't it like WHATTT?! Actually, I wanted to link the essay to 9/11, but unfortunately, after I handed up my scripts did I realise I had totally missed that part out. Oh well.
So, shall end here. Need rush over to granny's house. Seeya all! ^~^

Pre-exam jitters ...

Am back! Haven't been blogging in ages!! OMG. It may be because I'm busy right now, in the midst of preparing for my upcoming Prelims! I mean, which Secondary Four student isn't?
Okay, tomorrow is my official English Oral exam! I find that I'm quite confident in my Reading and my Picture Discussion should be not too bad, but my Conversation really gives me the jitters!! I can't even manage a decent speech, and you want me to talk NON-STOP for FIVE MINUTES?! I can just die, or rather, anyone not confident can die too ><
I'm hoping to score 10/12 for my Passage, 9/12 for my Picture, and 11/16 for my Conversation. This would give me an A1 just nice on the dot. Let's hope my Guardian Angel(s) is/are especially looking out for me tomorrow and pouring down on me good vocabulary that I can use in my Oral (:
So, my Prelims are coming up too! But the funny thing is that I don't feel stressed until I reach the exam venue, which is like, too late eh? Well, I get scared, I panic and break out in cold sweat too, but somehow, all these are not motivating me. And not making me work harder! Even now as I'm typing this, I don't feel stressed to practice my Oral or revise more, even though I'm afraid of what I would score.
Oh, by the way, I'm aiming for an A2 in all of my subjects for Prelims 2! Yes, I know it's a far cry from what I'm scoring now (I got 26 for my L1R5, 18 for LiR4),
but heyy, no harm in trying and being optimistic right? It might even spur me to do better! :D
All right, shall end here now. Need to start completing my homework and assignments on time to start the ball rolling. It's never too late for anything. Well, unless you're dead. CHOYY!
So shall be back maybe in a week? Sayonara! ^~^
