Random: Finally, I got myself one of those I'm-bored-in-toilet-and-look-it's-a-mirror photo.Today was sleepy. I mean I was sleepy. No, I was not, I was hyped up for physics paper in fact. I had been getting short naps and staying up really late for revising, studying, practicing and the likes. Yesterday, no wait, this morning was the worst. I dragged my initial plan to sleep to 5.15 am. Yea, 4am was my target but I was too engrossed in physics and there's this alter ego in me reminding me this, "You have to know everything, each and every single nano, micro thing there is in the book, and you'll do it." I didn't know my alter ego was that supportive.
I'm satisfied with the work I did at the wee hours of the morning. Although I did not get enough rest or what, my brain still worked freshly. Well, maybe the 2 hours sleep I took in the afternoon resulted that. But all in all, I'm immuned to it.
Okay, today, tragically, I left my pencil case at the library for the 2nd half of the physics paper which was mainly made up of MCQs. Yea, it's physics, calculating is everything and a calculator is essential. And nooo... I have to leave my whole big pencil case which includes all my writing essentials in the library. Well, fortunately, I'd got Ibrahim to lend his pencil. I had only a pencil on my desk while others had protractors, pens, rulers, flexible curve, CALCULATORS and those weird mathematics instruments.
Well, a pencil is all I need to shade those OTAS circles. And there's some calculating questions too. For angle and length, I used the OTAS sheet as a guide for the ratio. Although its not exact, theres a geez of it. And LUCKILY, all of the questions do not need any hardcore calculations which we will need to leave in 3 significant figures. Phew

Oh my, 2 chunky paragraphs on physics itself. Yea, I didn't do it for bio nor chem, but PHYSICS. That's how I loved physics from this early morning/last minute revision. The long night we spent together, will never get any reluctant force acting on the feather. It rhymes.
Overall, I dare to say that the physics paper was attemptable and manageable. Loss of marks can only be due to carelessness and misinterpretations or misconceptions. Oh wait, I'm so enthu in physics till I have to write another stanza on it.
There's this announcement in the middle of the exam informing us that there's an error in the paper. It's an error of the amount of velocity I guess. It was redundant as the answer's still the same. Think the question goes like this:
There's this weird object with a weight of 1500N. It was thrown up with a constant velocity of 23 m /s. What is the reluctant force acting on the object?
So, Mr.Chan told us to change the speed which don't really matter coz its a constant speed, thus, the reluctant force is equal to the weight. YEA, I sound like a physics geek.
Well, this is what Ibrahim interpreted when them teachers mouthed after that announcement.
Mr Chan: Actually there's no difference, it's to trick them.
Mr.Kung: Where got.. there is
Mr.Kung: Where got.. there is
Mr Chan: There is?
Oh wait, oh wait. Theres this cool function of the calculator which Eddy thought me before the exams. Press 2nd Function and click Exp and click any number. A dice function will appear. They'll give this random numbers from 1 to 6 everytime you press equal. So, if you're stuck on any mcq questions, turn to your calculator. But nooo, I must leave it in the library... suayness nasib badan...
Oh ya, I have to mention this. I'm teaching Shan Yang A Maths now! Through the phone that is. Quite a big feat huh... Nah.. he need to clear his thoughts for A Maths. But still, the fact that I am teaching, is too overwhelming and worth bragging about. And its A Maths summore.
Well, so much for physics. HOHOHOHO. I'm high tonight just because it feels great to be on par with everyone or even better. But next, come chemistry, then bio which both I will not need to exagerate like what I did for physics coz they're simply baboonic(?).
