Preliminary Attack! >_<

Been ages since I updated...again...

Anyway, prelims started today...1st day GP and chemistry.

I didn't complete AQ! (omg-omg-omg-omg ><;; die lah!) Sad case but I hope I did ok for the rest of the paper, especially summary ^^;; The essay wasn't well-attempted due to over-anxiety for chemistry paper 3. Ya compre was difficult to read but it was ok bah... And I remember the phrase which they asked us to infer... "Anti-semitism is socialism for the fools." (1m)

I wrote something along "To be against the Jews is an inclined choice of the poor."

...I googled for it...

...and got this from somewhere...

A famous Social Democrat in Germany, August Bebel (1840-1913), called anti-Semitism "the socialism of fools." He was trying to persuade German workers to fight capitalism rather than hating the Jews, advice they declined to take.

(dot dot dot...)

I have a feeling that my answer was off-tangent according to history...but I'm not so sure in the context of the passage...

Chemistry was the killer. I wonder how someone would be able hand in a fully attempted paper. He or she must have been fully armed to attempt the questions right on the dot. Now to think of it, I have so far never handed in one, when I should be doing so, right? So crap.

So 50 days down to A levels and I'm so insufficiently prepared. Will need all the help I can get. I already got some thanks to remedial by the J1 chem teacher (Mrs....cannot remember) for organic chemistry, Nody and Mewie for sharing their chemistry notes and knowledge with me when we revised together, for biology I really want to thank Ms Leo otherwise I will be totally DNA-stranded and my confusion will be semi-conservatively replicated, and then my cousin helped out with Equilibra, for maths the revision lectures helped a lot while Mrs Neo also put in effort to help, though I didn't go on Tuesday...and right now Yuki's (hmm correct nick?) helping with bio questions...though I think he's simulataneous being flooded by enquiries from other JC friends...can't help feeling a bit of irony over seeing a poly bio student knowing better than the JC ones about our own syallabus...we must have been complacent.

Hope Ms Lee can help me with Electrochemistry and Periodic Table...I don't know where to start...admittably I had been 'slacking' during her class. Even recently, I had this dream whereby I dreamt of her telling me straightforwardly that I had been lazy and had an attitude problem. I regret not putting in effort, yet I was in my worse ever pessimistic state of psyche early this year, so I couldn't have done much back then, but now at least I should be able to if I know where I can start from.

...And there's also someone I'd always want to thank for bringing back the life in me....

Be reading the website I've been given about electrochemistry anyway. Later I will still have to revise the Argand details of complex numbers and Integration stuff and numerical methods and functions and vectors and AP GP and...blah blah, et cetera. Am so going to be dead if I don't....

And now I'm reading my old blog at http://www.xanga.com/shiny_jiggly I've always kept it secret from people I know in real life, but now it doesn't matter. Cos I'm striving to be me.
