end-of-year results

Today I got back my report book. Nothing surprising as I already knew my marks.

I am 6th in class, my average percentage is 61.1%. So long as you pass English, you will be promoted to sec 4. Here are my results:

English: 59--C5

Chinese: 64--B4

A maths: 39--F9

Maths: 65--B3

Combined sciences: 65--B3

Combined humanities: 70--A2

Except for my A maths, I am quite pleased with my results. My L1R4 is 16 while L1R5 is 20, which means I could go JC. Tomorrow is the last day of school. We can go home at 10 am. But, we still need to go for 2 weeks of extra lessons.

PSI level : Unhealthy

The haze is driving everybody crazy. All thanks to the forest fires in Indonesia. It's been going on for about 2 weeks now. The weather is so hazy, it makes my eyes watered when I look at the surroundings. This haze this year is the worst, the highest PSI level being 150.
We are breathing in smoke right now not air. Besides, the weather these days had not been good, many people are falling ill. Recently, there was an outbreak of the "stomach flu", hitting 2 schools in Singapore. I blamed it on the haze.
Sources say that the haze will be gone by end of the month.
I can't wait to breath air again....But till then, we all must endure the haze.....

Post exam activities

There was nothing much to do after exams. We stayed in the class for the whole day, some sleep, some read books while others played games. These few days were very boring.
On Tuesday, 15 students from my class did not come. This was the record so far. The same thing happened to the other classes. Yesterday, 19-10, we went to science centre. It was quite fun as we got to walk around and looked at the exhibitions. But still, 9 students did not come.
Today is Promotion Day, so I do not have to go to school. It means the teachers gather to see if you get promoted or advanced or retained to the next level.

The perfect day

Today was the best day of my life. I went out with my parents in the morning and came back in the evening. It was quite strange as today was a school day. I seemed to be the only teenager walking in Orchard.
My mother went to see her doctor and after lunch, we went to JewelFest 2006. It was so beautiful. I've been looking forward to this every year but this was my first time going there. Finally, New Moon was mine! I went to Borders and was not disappointed. I was so happy that I got the book.
Later, we went to Causeway Point. As my father had a $3500 voucher, we planned to buy furniture with it. But in the end, we ended buying diamond necklaces for me and my mother. It was not the design I wanted but it will do. I like necklaces with patterns, mine was simple.
I can't believe it, I have a diamond necklace...Hooray!
What a lovely day~~ It's everything I wanted!

End-of-year exams--final part

At last, the end-of-year exams had come to an end. Physics was quite all right, I think. I did know know how to do a few questions though. Biology paper 2 was a little difficult, we had been warned by our teacher. He said he "want to kill us" in this exam. I did not know how to do 2-3 questions.
So, tomorrow and Friday are "off-days". Tomorrow is art paper, but since I do not take art, there is no need to go to school. Friday is marking-day. I am disappointed to find that New Moon by Stephenie Meyer is not available in Singapore. I am looking forward to reading it after my exams. I have yet visit borders to check. This Friday, I think I will be going to borders to check if New Moon is available there.

End-of-year exams--part 3

Today's papers were Additional Maths paper1 and 2. Both papers were disasters. I would rather not talk about it. I did not have much time to update this blog and tomorrow is the last day of exams. Yay!
Biology paper 2 and Physics tomorrow.

I am upset that I can't get the book New Moon by Stephenie Meyer in Singapore. I thought that after the exams, I will be able to read it but none of the bookstores here have it. I am thinking about ordering it in amazon.com......

End-of-year exams--part 2

Geography paper today. It was quite difficult , the map-reading took up 1/3 of my time.
There was 1 question " What are the characteristics of Hi-tech farming in Singapore", I think I answered it wrongly. Also, I only studied 2 advantages and disadvantages for industrial concentration. However the question was worth 10 marks which means that I had to give 5 advantages and 5 disadvantages for it. I managed to write 3 each.
I am worried that I will not do well in this paper. I have high standard for geography.
Tomorrow's paper is Chemistry, a subject that I am not very good in.

End-of-year exams--part 1

Today was the 1st day of my main EOY exams. Today's papers were social studies and E-maths paper 1.
For the social studies paper, there was 1 question I was not too sure about the answer. It was about the IRA in Northern Ireland. But I still complete the paper in time. I have high standard for my social studies so I am worried that I might not do well. I must get at least 70% for my social studies paper.
I skipped quite a lot of questions for my E-maths paper 1 in the 1st round. No calculator was allowed for paper 1. I finished all the questions during my second round of checking. I think it is still all right. I must get at least 65% for my paper 1.
Tomorrow's paper is geography, another subject I have high standard for. There are lots of things to memorise.
Wish me luck....5 days to go
