GCE Ordinary Levels...

WELL at least my first experience at taking an O-level paper wasn't an absolutely mortifying and daunting one. for one, i actually managed not to feel dumb during the paper. if you're wondering what subject it is, it's SEC4 Express Malay, which I just took today, the written paper, i mean. the listening compre and oral was done ages ago. I just hope that some good comes of all this nonsense. but really, it was a lot more doable than my other practice papers, and not to sound arrogant or boastful, but i think i did reasonably OK for the paper. considering also that its a malay paper. lol. i think i managed to crap my way through the expository essay, as well as the formal letter. i was nearly out of time. then, when i wrote my formal letter, just after writing the sender's and recipient's addresses, and the RE: thingy, my pen started fading, and i was like, shit, it better not die on me. so i switched to my other pen, which thankfully, lasted through both essays, as well as the paper 2, thank god.

On the other hand, i was able to do the paper 2 with relative comfort. i was amazed at the simpleness of the imbuhan, managed to see through the cloak of lies and deception the peribahasa threw at me, understood all the bina ayats, and actually comprehend the prosedur cloze. FOR ONCE. lol. i managed the comprehensions well enough i think, and vocab, well, ok la. but i guess, yeah it's only the express malay paper, and that my papers next year are gonna be exponentially more difficult. sigh. but never mind, i shall not be daunted. my future is at stake. lol. well, anyway, to celebrate, went out just now. went to watch quantum of solace. thnk god it was only $6, what a waste of 1.5 hrs and $6. apart from the mindless shooting and action scenes, ther was nothing else. then went to walk about orchard, ending up at ct hall, then i went home. and thats abt it. i shd be sleeping soon, considering the fact that i have SYF training tmr at 0745. sigh. nvm. it'll be fun. so for now, adieu.
