Ain't that a hole in the boat

spiderpigOh God, I love swing. I'm procrastinating from Mao and Deng. But I can't help it if I got 39/50 for my History Prelims. I am entitled to feeling GOOD and PROCRASTINATION for a while, ditto?
Yes, and so I shall begin my much delayed EXAM ANALYSIS. Gah.
Higher Chinese: I am glad to say, I kicked its ass. Besides the "zao ju" (constructing sentences, literal translation), which I might have lost over 10 marks, I think I get wrangle that B3 out from somewhere. Muahaha. Then again, I wrote rubbish for my essay. >_>
Social Studies: As you can tell from earlier posts. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A FUCKING PENGUIN. Now, my problem wasn't "Gah! What is the significance of the penguin?" it was "Why does that 'man' look so horrible?" Bleeargghhhh. By the way, our source base was on the FALKLAND ISLANDS. Call me ignorant, but I didn't know such a disput existed. Then again, I wouldn't know of many international disputes because I'm an ignorant Singaporean Teenager (TM) and there are too many quarrals in the world. Don't you agree? So for the benefit of the other people who took SS. I shall speculate why there was a penguin.
First I shall describe how the penguin looked like. In was in the middle of a flock of sheep (maybe to get warm XD) with a question mark over its pretty little beaked head. It had beady little eyes, the bastard. So, why was the penguin there? Perhaps it was to emphasize that when the Argentines occupied and invaded the island, no one on the island knew what was going on. Even the penguins. :\ Okay. What the hell am I doing? I'm sorry if I have riled Argentines or British reading this but yes. I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING THAT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT. Unless you're referring to penguins.
English: I bet you all have heard me moan and groan like a sick cow (no offence to Gen) about this. I chose the Belleview School for the sole reason of wanting to be the only person who chose that school. Apparently, everyone else thought the same. Muahaha. I should have chose THE ACE SCHOOL in jolly ol' London instead. I inserted some random knowledge of Traflagar Square, the Tower of London and London Bridge. I wanted to crap about a certain Victoria Market, but up til now, I have been too lazy to clarify if it belongs in Australia or London. Meh.
For the essay, I chose the topic which wanted us to write a story about an argument based on mistaken identity. Maybe it was the overdose of Twelfth Night, I immediately thought about twins. And thus, I wrote about this sob love-story that concerned twins. In my trademark "I am not Amy Tan, but I shall emulate her and write like her" style. >_> Then after the paper, it dawned on me like a Sunday morning ray of light that every other person in my class had more-or-less, give or take, the same gist of content. So I shall have to score in the language and style departments. Le sigh.
The comprehension was deceptively okay. Besides the vocabulary (wait. Vocabularly? I FORGOT HOW TO SPELL!!!!) part, I think I should do well. Note the word, think. Afterall, I finished in less than an hour.
English Literature: The one line that can't get out of my head right now is, "Alicia you stupid girl! Why do you always do the harder questions?!" ;__; Oh Ms Jacob! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TELL ME THAT. But I knew about it though. I mean, come on, I did the question on Mrs Kingshaw's quote compared to an essay about Fielding, something my school has been hammering into us. But I think I wrote the essay well. My arguement was based on morals.
The unseen Poem was rubbish. Period.
Eh... Twelfth Night was my baby. Yes it was. I love you school! The exact same passage came out! And a question too! <3s
E. Maths : I hope my two papers will copulate and produce a nice baby A1. *big grin* It went much better than I expected. I, right now, have an avearge on 91.25 marks. Well, not counting careless mistakes. But STILL! Its much much much better than what I'm used to scoring (read: FAIL). You know, I just might be able to get that A1.
A. Math: It went well too. Considering I was all "@___@" and dead after the strenuous day before, and listening half-heartedly to what my tutor was preaching while doodling Hayao Miyazaki-esque rubbish. Yes. A B3 is guarenteed. Just a question of getting an A or not. I love my school again. A lot of the questions that came out, came out before. OH THE LOVE I AM FEELING.
So what's left is History, Physics (WHICH YEN AND I MUST GET AN A1), A Math paper 2 and Chemistry. A1, A1, B3, B3. That's what I'm expecting for these respectively. Uh huh. And I'm gonna get it.
