Results!!!

WELL, i finally received my midyear results today, after an interminable (or so it seemed) wait. sad to say, they are absolutely disappointing, not to mention mortifying. so here goes:

English Language - 70% (A2) [this is the most disappointing mark; stupid markers]
Elementary Mathematics - 95% (A1) [my highest mark. can u believe that?]
Additional Mathematics - 66% (B3) [eurgh. but at least i didnt fail]
Physics - 56% (C5) [the lowest of all my sciences. thank god i still passed, despite not completeing the paper. and almost failing the MCQ]
Chemistry - 78% (A1) [the highest of my sciences. supposedly a good mark. right.]
Biology - 68% (B3) [yet another disappointing mark. despite scoring for MCQ, i failed my Section C]
Higher Malay - 61% (B4) [also very disappointing, i usually get a bit higher]
Full Literature - 74% (A2) [also very disappointing, as lit is one of my fortes]
Combined Humanities, comprising Social Studies - 32% [failed, who cares] & Elec. Geog. - 80% [thank god], which brings the combined mark to 56% (C5)

Average: 69.3%
L1B5 - 12
Mean Subject Grade : 2.89
Class Position: 3rd [can u beat tt? im just as amazed. its the first time ive ever gotten into top3]

so there you have it; my result report for this term, mid year, whatever. i feel so totally depressed. but anyway, whats done is done and cant be undone. so help us God...

COOK. and PLAY xbox. hee hee. but im jus updating abt the food part, nvm the xbox haha. i had an absolutely fun time cooking this wkend; cooking is very therapeutic and cathartic for me. but anw, enuf of tt. first off on the list: Lemon Meringue Pie. baked it on yesterday. something which ive always wanted to make, but nvr had the time to. it turned out gorgeous (or so I think), for a virgin attempt. here:

last but not least, for lunch: pan-fried dory in butter lemon, with butter and coriander rice. tastes as good as it sounds, seriously. the fish was divine:
ambrosia... (for me!)

anyway, thats all for now, its way past my bedtime. cya all! byee!
