SS Prelim

(Look at coordinate (3, 2). Lols, like Maths/Geog like that. Forget it if you don't get it; i'm just being lame here.)

Hi everyone.

Lately, I have been blogging to destress or otherwise 发泄.

Yeap, so SS Prelims was rather difficult for me. The questions asked were definitely not easy to comprehend. As usual, I started with SEQ first. As I studied chapters 2, 4, and 6, I could decide which questions to do. I wasn't exactly familiar with Governance because I only started studying it last night, so I decided not to attempt it, although it seemed like it was quite easy as heard from many others who did it, or rather, because many people did it, so probably it was simple for them. So anyway, the next question was about Northern Ireland conflict. I studied it quite long ago and refreshed it in my mind this morning again, but the question (b) of the essay was phrased in a manner that didn't quite suit the things that I memorised. Plus, I couldn't seem to recall the stuff that I memorised at that point in time. So, I skipped and moved on to the last question, which was about Managing International Relations. Part (a) was about competing ideologies as a greatest threat to the world's security. Something like that. So I wrote the 3 factors about causes of international conflicts. The whole essay was something like 2 full pages long. Spent about 35 minutes writing it.. Probably I wasn't writing what was relevant and wrote in excess.. Part (b) was about the UN being necessary in preserving peace and security in the world. Sometihng like that. As I didn't study the chapter on Iraq-Kuwait conflict, I couldn't quite elaborate, so I brought in things about Singapore and the UN and stuff like that, then I linked it to something with regards to achieving economic stability, so it helps to maintain peace.. Kinda forced I think.. =/ Whole essay was about 1.5 page long. I was left with only half an hour to do my SBQ, which I failed to complete. I thought the sources were quite comprehend(able), but I couldn't really think well at that time because I was running out of time and my mind was in a state of loss, to a certain extent. So I didn't manage to complete the last question of my SBQ. The 2nd last part of the SBQ was also quite a nonsensical answer I think.. :(

Anyway, I hope that I can at least manage a B3 for this SS Prelim. Probably the Geography paper would be less tough, especially with some hints dropped, so that I would do better for my Combined Humanities. I seem to have high expectations of my C. Humanities; I'm not too sure why. Probably the thought of entering Psychology in TP keeps reverberating in my mind, although I'm not exactly into it.

School will resume as usual tomorrow. Next week would be quite free and easy because we're only attending school for 2 out of 5 days in the week, if I'm not wrong. This is because of the off-in-lieu due to Presidential Elections and Teachers' Day and/or celebrations. I should take this opportunity to buck up and refrain from slacking.

Some classmates are at school attending the optional Physics lesson, which I didn't attend.. (precisely why I'm at home right now) I hope i'm not making a wrong choice here. :/

Around 60 more days to O Level..

This is quite a depressing post, isn't it? (I think it is.)

So I shall end here today.

I'll probably be blogging soon.

Bye.
