Prelims are over!

Just finished chem paper 1 this morning. This has really been the slackest day that I have had for a long time. Imagine going to school, and being free just one hour later. However, there were 9 questions which I was either not sure of or got wrong. -sigh- And some of them was because the question was ambiguous. I mean, take the chlorobenzene thingy for example qn 38, I thought that the -Cl would get hydrolysed to O-, cos the reaction condition was boiling, but then the conditions for hydrolysis of the -Cl group is 400 degrees, 150atm, so how hot is the boiling? but it's my fault because I didn't realise that there was no mention of pressure at that point in time. -sigh-

But now we all have a wonderful holiday ahead of us. Yay! That means more free time for me, oh, and by the way, I just got my tagboard up. Yupz, today was one of the rare days when I was bored enough to spend close to 1 hour on the com: just enough time to find out how to get it up. So please start posting!

In the midsts of prelims

It's really amazing how time flies. Just a while ago, we were all preparing like mad for prelims, and suddenly, we've already crossed the half-way mark. Now, we have a long weekend break until tuesday. Yay! Ok, the past 7 papers were varied, some brought discouragement (e.g. Physics 1, GP 2), while some others brought extreme discouragement (e.g. Maths 1). Finally, I have an extended weekend to rest. Yay!
Prelims haven't been a bed of roses, obviously, but God has been there for me when I needed Him. He never promised that I would do well, but he has said "My grace is sufficient for you," and that is all that matters. All God wants from me is to give my best for Him, and let him take care of the rest. "And the peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus," I feel that this is a wonderful promise from God, something for all of us to remember in the midst of prelims. May we all give our best for His glory.

And by the way, I noticed something during prelims that seems different. After the papers are collected, and when the invigilators are taking their time to count the scripts, the hall seems a bit....quiet. I mean, during the 2 term exams and promos, the hall would be buzzing with chatter which can sometimes reach the volume of the void deck, that is, until the CPE goes to the mic and tells everyone to shut up. For prelims, everyone seems, like so obedient, probably due to the area cleaning "incentive", but well, this is not in any way a bad thing, it's just something that I've noticed, and I'm rather curious about, but never mind.

Wishing everyone in the midst of prelims all the best. God Bless!

Forever

I'll worship at your throne,
whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
for You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days,
to put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet,
it'll be for eternity
And oh, how wide You open up Your arms
when I need Your love
And how far You would come
if ever I was lost
You say that all You feel for me is undying love
That You showed me through the cross
I'll worship You my God,
I'll worship You my God
I love You, I love You
Forever I will sing,
forever I will be with You, be with You

Exam prep

I really haven't posted for a long time simply because I have had no time to do so. The exam prep has been so hectic that I sometimes did not even have time to eat. --sigh-- The last 2 weeks have been the fastest passing weeks that I have ever seen in my whole life. My average day was a repetitive routine that went this way: wake up, go to school, assembly, tutorial, lecture, tutorial, tutorial, recess (code name for self-study), double lecture(oh no!!)
(but don't get me wrong, Keith Tan and Mdm Rahimah are really great teachers), lunch, the day ends, study in the hub/go home (depending on what time I end and what I feel like doing, do past year prelim papers, go to sleep, wake up, go to.... hey its the weekend again, and there's church, and it's monday again. I'm starting to go through my daily activities without really feeling them (save for QT....i hope....), but one thing for sure is that I'm going to miss AC and all these wonderful times real badly when we graduate. But for now there are the A-levels to worry about, or maybe not..."Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" Phillipians 4:6-7 (pardon any errors, because I typed this out from memory)
This is a something that God has spoken to me in times when I was just so pressured by the world around me, and even in times when I just felt that the stakes were too high. God has promised that he will provide for me always, and all he asks of me is that I trust him. Isn't it wonderful to know that we are never alone because God is here with us.
I would like to wish all my friends who are studying hard for their exams all the best, God Bless!
