Praise God, through whom all mercies flow!
haha congrats to everyone who got their results! although it might have not been up to expectations.. who cares?
that piece of paper only has one function, and that is to help you get into the course you want, at the uni you want.
so chill!
Mathematics HL - 7 (OMG OMG OMG!! haha i thought we screwed up P3)
Chemistry HL - 6 (Haha i thought i would get 7, but...)
Physics HL - 6 (Expected as well. knew i would NEVER get a 7. well but that's still better than all my previous Physics grades)
Chinese B SL - 7 (duh...)
Economics SL - 7 (lol a nice surprise, but kinda expected as many felt it was easy)
English A1 SL - 5 (when i saw so many people getting 5. i knew i got 5. A tad disappointed.)
+ 1 bonus point for TOK/EE.This was disappointing, considering that i got 3 for projection. Since so many people got 1. It's better for the school to look into how to boost this area. Many people would have got 40 if not for this.
well it's over!
now for uni applications, and NS!
haha

This kind of posting after exams could probably be common after exams...
but you would need to find a completely new word for the kind of freedom and joy i would feel when i wake up tomorrow...
FREEDOM! FREEDOM!!
LET FREEDOM RING!!
haha it hasn't really sunk in yet. it would probably do soon, when you look around and say, shit i've nothing to mug..'
haha
so the post-exam feel:
maths (not the very best), 6 leaning towards 7
econs. must get 7, no buts
ditto for chem, but not so much..
physics. 6. anymore is a bonus
english. hopefully 6, not too sad if 5.
hopefully around 37-38 without bonus..
haha but worry about that on the 6th of jan lah...

It seems so surreal...
the IB exams, the focus and aim of my last 4 years of existence draws closer and closer. only 5 more days to go till Maths Paper 1.
surrealism indeed...
somehow i'm not stressed, i'm sanguine. sanguinely pleasantly ok.
it's like a death row immate waiting for the warden to say
'ok, it's your turn.'
i think i'm as prepared as i can be, maybe one more practice paper for each subject, and i'll be ok... to some, that might seem quite a lot.
well well. i'm not going to study anymore today. let me enjoy my sangunity (if there's such a word) for one night.

Part 1 of my life is almost over.
It's been 12 years, 12 years in the ACS.
6 years in ACPS was where the friendships were made, where the bonds formed, via the medium of childlike innocence and curiosity. for the friends i made here, thank you for being there for me over the last 12 years.
(kenneth lui.thang.orion.yongqiang.lew.jon lui.zhi yuan.theo.etc etc too many to name) thanks a lot...
4 years in ACS(I) (Pre-IB) was a new thing. More of the child-like innocence vanished, to be replaced with more mature things. both good and bad.
3 and 4 was the most eventful. The shit we did and got done to us was the best. kluang and shanghai was, well, an experience. we bonded, we did things together. well. it was the best.
phillip.dan.elisha.stePHAN!
haha
2 years in IB, new surroundings in an old place. new people, new curriculum, new in the old. but i guess we survived. barely.
genesis.antioch.
well well...
time for the IBIBIB exams!
m..mmmonster kill!

i'm pissed
cos i got deducted one mark for EVERY sig fig error in my maths p1
cos i screwed up econs (especially p1) so badly
cos my english got torn to shreds
it sucks when you have studied and put in all that effort only to get shitty grades.
some of it is my fault i know, but i would like to say... that the marking is way off the charts..
oh well back to mugging for IB!
38, 38, 38!

It's the end of phase one of the prelims.
The end of all the P1s and P2 for the sciences.
However, there is still the most dreaded p3s and....
maths, the subject with the highest expectations for now..
Physics was surprisingly OK, chem wasn't too bad but one stupid enthalpy question gave me too much gitters...
English P2 was not bad, wrote the most stuff ever 4.5 sides...
well well taking a break today, starting to work tmr...

I don't know..
ever since i've kinda given up on you, i feel that something's missing. Something i thought i had, than knew i never had.
Confusing?
Yes it is.
Life's a slog, grades are not the best... (although i claim aggrieved status for 2 out of 5 papers...)
damn those super ngiao markers. 36 points is like within 5 marks.... damn
Maybe it's for the best, maybe now i can focus on my work, as nothing else can be as interesting as you.
last IOC to do, the feeling is not satisfying at all, as my piece of paper on the wall reminds me that i have to study....
The place, Waterloo
The fate of the world will be decided here, now, today..
'Form up positions, men!' the young officer shouted. His men, dressed in bright redcoats shuffled their feet around quickly, nerves in the mind as well.
Any man would be afraid, especially a young Lieutenant, with his first action since his commission. He felt that he had nothing to live for. His girl just ran off with some rich Earl. His family was dead, nothing was worth it, he would like to die at the end of a saber, or at the hands of a musketball...
He quickly shut the thoughts out of his mind. "For King and Country', he thought. If anyone would die, it would be those French bastards...
A wave of expectation, coupled with fear, swept the line. What would le petit corporal think of now?
The rumbling of hooves answered that....
A wave of golden and blue appeared far on the horizon....
Never had he seen something so grand, so terrifying, and so bold as that line of blue, red and gold. Then again, he had never seen much anyway..
'Load!'
the mess of gunpowder and cartridges split all over the place. The men he led had seen much more action than he did, yet the powder went flying. They had never seen something so magnificent as well..
'God protect me'. He looked to the heavens. He never was too religious, but in the face of adversity, there are no atheists
The artillery opened up. The Imperial Cavalry picked up pace and charged through the mess of cannonballs, although some fell, everyone raced towards the line of scarlet and sliver.
'Prepare to engage cavalry! Fire on my order only!'
the formation was complete. 'Even that can't take a volley of muskets'. the young man thought.
100, 90, 80,70
'Vive l'Empereur!!!'
'Vive la France!!!'
the cries rang out, the cavalry picked up pace. no one's face changed a bit.
60, 50, 40, 30...
'Fire!'
Smoke erupted from the formation. The Hussars fell like sticks in the wind. It didn't seem like anything could come through the thick smoke.
still they came...
the collision was fast, and painful. Some parts fell to the momentum of the charge, some met the charge with a wall of steel...
He drew his sword and pierced it deep onto a onrushing Hussar. No quarter was asked, and none was given. He soon indulged himself in the killing.
The line was held, but at what cost?

Haven't really had time to blog about anything, and to be honest, i don't really felt like.
So now i'm going to blog about how the last wk of exams have been...
It's kinda weird when the Chem MCQs turn out to be so damn hard, and the paper 2 and 3 turn out to be so much relatively easier... go figure....
Econs was quite good, yeh we're fine there...
Maths 1 wasn't the best (haha compared to my usually high standards). so will need to work on p2.
Yeh that's kinda it...
Exam time is always, ironically, kinda slack. Go home much earlier than normal school days, some days also don't need to come to sch... haha
Haven't caught my rightful share of movies yet, but have not time, ah well... that sucks..
Am i fated to go down this path? Why do they always have someone else? Is there something wrong with me?
