the midyr was the 2nd exam i didnt study for, nt counting last min studying.. the other was O lvl prelim..
the first week of midyr (GP paper week) i was in a "give up" mode. even b4 i started. actually, because i havent started. didnt study the whole month, what's the point of starting now?
but of cos i had to get studying. every hour was packed. well. from 7/8am to 6/7pm anyway. a lil break for lunch.. lol, my timetable was so full! once i was home, i cldnt do anything.. but that prolly kept me sane, chitchatting w siblings.. That week seriously sucked.. it started w maths P1 which felt quite.. normal since my maths isnt tt gd to start with. chem p3 the next day was discouraging. it's like studying so hard the day before(i know i didnt do anything in tt month but the packed days..sitting for papers, studying, rest a bit at home, sleep, repeat.. it felt draining), just so i dont fail the paper that badly the next day.
bio p2 on thursday was the lowest point in a long time. stupid mistake of sleeping just a freaking hour left me in a trance semi-dream mode during the exam w a Pentium 1 processor that keep hanging. Simple things took long to process. Couldnt string my answers tgr -_-... i had study and was fairly confident at least i cld do better for a paper.. but that paper was a blow to the gut, straight to the heart. felt like total crap after that paper. if the midyrs were the promos, i wld hv to be retained. y bother studying? left the hall w/o a word or a bye...seriously right, i felt like crying (didnt la). lol, must hv been tt lack of sleep! haha..went home instead of studyin at the iSpace
next morning, did maths from 7+ till 1pm and sat for the maths p2 which felt do-able!
i had survived the longest, most drainin week ever. i now have time. yup.. so studied urgently and feverishly everyday.. (btw, the iSpace's opened on Sunday!)
i could do chem p2! breezed thru bio p3. and bio MCQ was done in 30min, leavin me with 45 mins lol...
gosh, the day b4 the mcq, i did mcq frm 7am to 6pm, with only around 20min break. each topic (there were 16) had to be done in 30min. 60-70qn in 30min. is crazy(cldnt finish all of cos).. but it was such a rush >_<. losing 5-10min is alot! nvr valued 10 min so much b4 lol.

after bio MCQ, went to have a buffet feast at Suki Sakura! I had so much sashimi XD. hee.. there's lots of stuff there.. jap, bbq (they'll bbq the meat for u), satay, western, chinese, desserts.. hahaha.. our table was so full ^^;;. so darn great to know i neednt be study for anything. to be able to have time to chitchat w friends lol..
the nxt day, woke up late, watched all my recorded programs.. slacked, relaxed, sat in front of the comp.. just not doing anything imp...
then had a run in the afternoon, felt good to be outside and moving after so much inactivity!
next, i headed off to orchad! had wanted to spend my Kinokuniya vouchers but it was 7+ le, i want to have all the time in the world to browse b4 i decide on my purchase so i went to Cathay instead!
haha i forgot the way there! walked past heeren,wonderin when cathay was gonna appear, instead of crossin the road!
the familiar smell of cathay. perhaps a combination of popcorn and famous amos. oh yeah i saw the Hard Gay toy being sold! u know the TOMY one, where u take turns to 'poke' swords in the barrel w Hard Gay in it, and one wld make him pop out (HOOO~~!)? it was damn ex, $59.90..
heading home, i somehow landed up in Taka to get to orchad mrt. i thought somerset was nearer? *shrugs* Food fest was being held at taka! ventured in, in search of honeydew sago! didnt find tt but found taiwan "tai yang bing"!! bought one haha.. (nxt day's breakfest. so reminded me of taiwan!!! XD)
and i went out myself, but tt's nt a bad thing =) i dont mind going out alone, quite like it actually.. haha.. how geminian, love being w ppl but dont mind going out myself..
sunday... ah, slacked at home again XD and then the weekly sunday dinner out with family!
yeah. recovery from midyr! time spent with friends, time spent doing nothing, a run, time spent alone, time spent with my family....

Got my papers back.. as expected, papers took in the first week were relly horrendous (35%-40% >_< ) while the papers in the 2nd week were done rather well (65%-72% excluding mcq)..
overall. i passed everything with a C D D.. better than i expected..

i never want to go thru such a confidence crushing time, such a studying-until-no-time-to-breathe-no-moment-to-spare, to rush thru my topics....
never again.
wo bu zi shi 我不知死..
i needed that month to see that i need to study or i'll die until v chan in exams..
i needed that month of rest in june b4 i'm willing to go the full distance.
if i can pass with that 2 weeks of studying, i'm sure i can do much better if i study way ahead, and hard. yes.
yes...start
now, any later would be just that, too late.
8 weeks to the prelims.
3months 2weeks 5days till a lvls...
jiayou everybody! there is still time, mustnt give up. time to work hard.
