more words

My blog is very wordy. I don't know why and I don't intend to change the words.

Oh, the ultra-portable in the previous post hasn't been fixed. I can't be bothered with it anymore. Maybe I will use the warranty soon to get it fixed. It will be such waste of time to fix it now.

Anyway, in an hour's time, the F1 cars will starting rolling on the Marina Bay Track. I am going to watch it this weekend - on my TV. No point buying anything like a ticket or booking a room. TV rocks my (clean) socks. Who's going to win? eh. After Schumacher left 3 seasons ago, I had no one else to support. -.- Perhaps Lewis "Catch Him" Hamilton. Perhaps Massa. Just perhaps. Yeah, I admit I am one of those who follow the crowd. But I don't care.

I know this is wols but for prelims, I got 4 H2 As and an E for General Paper. E for GP is means you are a noob. NOOB. Which I am. My powderful Engrish is my downfall. Well, actually I don't know. It's just a damn problematic essay + a lousy compre. This result is called an anolamy. OK?! (Oh, A was a mere 62 marks, which is like only 10 marks away.) So how my Maths from a D became an A? I'm not sure. But I do have a theory: moderation based on past results. My friend has another theory: Moderation based on selected questions. Since there's no way to find out which one is true, I guess it's up to speculation. In any case, I'm glad I have another A. So I should be happy with my results? Yeah right. Hell no. My GP is noob ok. Forget the rest. If the GP is noob, there's no need to consider the rest.

I guess this is it. More words.

You want picture is it? Fine.

sucky vista bug

Darn it. My Kohjinsha SR series ultra-portable laptop is in a complete mess right now. Yesterday when I restarted it after installing loads of programs, the wireless internet connection gg-fied. All the damn thing is saying is that the dependency service or group failed to start. I mean like wth. This kind of problem omg. Only 2 weeks old and the internet connection became so bugged all of a sudden. I can forgive that it runs very slow on Vista and has a crappy 1GB RAM (Vista on 1GB memory is omg already). But the wireless gone... that is horrible.

So I spent the evening trying to fix the damn problem by searching on the forums. I tried all kinds of crap solutions and I don't even know the side effects yet. All I know is that I can't solve it! Ahhhhhhhhhh...................!1!!11one!! Stupid wireless. Ultra-portables are meant to be wireless and without it, it's a goner. omg omg omg. HELP.

Sounds creepy haha.

prelim results

Everybody dreads the prelim results. Many people's fears came true. Umbrellas and Sunshine seem to be the words to describe many miserable souls. It was expected, wasn't it? No?

Fine. I'm not one of them. Let's keep it quick. I have 3 As out of the 5 subjects I take (4 H2s). Physics, Chemistry, and most shockingly, Economics. I expected to deliver the goods with physics, but not at such a good score that I was ahead of the main pack by about 5 marks (only the great Han was higher by about 2). Chemistry was simply amazing. I told everyone I got 23/40 for Paper 1 MCQ and still managed to get an A. Chem tuition does work wonders (if you know how to deliver the goods) :D. I still wonder whether I'm going to get split into a different tutorial/lecture class because AC sorts Chem students via the Paper 1 score. Economics left me stupefied. The class pestered the King to reveal our Econ scores during the tutorial. She said the first is as usual, Han, then second, Me, third, a long list.... (ok, good news, did she mention me?) Then she said that this class has 2As, 10Bs... Did she say only 2As? Omg, I got an A. I was stymied by how I got an A. That was impossible. The CA mark on the visualiser said S, a low B for Term Exams, and of all things, A for prelims. It was there, in black and white, as clear as day. S to A, in extreme circumstances of an exam in which I had hardly any prior practice. For the 2nd time today, I was 2nd in class for a subject.

The rest of the subjects were darn horrible relative to the 3 As. Maths was a D. It was really bad. GP was like a freak accident. I got an E, which I seemed to realise as lower than the class average (ok, at least higher than half the level). I was expecting C or more, even though no one else in the cohort had an A (am I right?).

Everyone thinks I must be ownage to get 3As based on raw score. Actually, I'm damn sad about the performance with my GP (not with Maths, I'm ok with that kind of grade because I never practised it at all after the Swss trip). The subject I usually can't perform well in exams came back to haunt me. In class, I'm much better, and I don't know why I can't do the same in the exam hall. I'm sad because I did badly in the most important subject of all and I know I can do a lot better.

Overall, SA1 had its worst-ever performance. We probably lost our dominance in Maths and the Sciences. I'm the only one (other than Han) to get 3 H2 As based on raw scores, which shows how poorly we did as a class.

Maybe we should all go on a 1 week trip to Switzerland /Austria before the A levels and see if that works.
