SPM 2010 (Week 1): Smooth Taxi - Sorta

Well, hi! It's nice to be back, especially after my last post was during the World Cup (YES!!! Viva la Espana!!!) But fast forward through the rest of July, August, September (trials were awesome!! =DDD), October and the first 22 days of November, and we've arrived at the day - SPM!!! So this will be my first of three reviews, as we progress through SPM. So this week I had Bahasa Melayu, English and ( drum roll please) History a.k.a SE-JA-RAH!!!!! So let's begin...

Day 1: BM
I got up on tuesday, smiling like a maniac for I don't no what reason. I mean I knew SPM was gonna start on that day, and I felt strangely upbeat... Showered, then prayed extra-long for good luck and mainly cuz I wanted to take my mind off things... Went to school, my head still buzzing with 'good lucks' from phone calls the previous night... Thank God I had Darshin to talk to on my way in... Both of us quite nostalgic (yeah, right) as this would be our last BM paper... But once it began, enough with the nostalgia, time to focus... Banged on my karangan both short and long... and then I went off to my tuition at Pn. Manjit's... She graciously allowed us to attend one final revision class and then there was a call... Holy crap, I was praying so hard that it was 'THE CALL' where someone calls and gives you the confirmed list of what's gonna come out (only for the KOMSAS) ... And ooooo myyy GAWD it was!!! I was friggin ecstatic, like a vibrating dufus or sumthin as we discussed all the possible Q&A... Now, this was good, but it was really fast and by the time I had digested it, I was tying up my papers to be handed in... What can I say? It was the perfect opening and I yearned for more... But this was only day one... the big boys hadn't arrived yet...

Day 2: English
Wednesday morning. Time to make the Queen proud. After basically doing whatever I did yesterday morn, I arrived at school. Flipped thru' my notes for English and, like BM, the exam began at 8 am... It was the essays up first and went pretty well, only thing was I kinda rushed for my 2nd essay... But it ended well, no worries... After a 45 minute break, we had Paper 2, which was very good considering I only did sum serious study the day b4... but at the end of day 2 i knew, so far so good ('so far' it was only the languages and 'so good' only meant no sejarah... yet.)

Day 3: History
you can do this, you can do this... the 'sorta' in the main title comes in cause of this...5 hrs and 31 minutes on, I still can't believe that there will be no more sejarah... no more.... the day started happily enough, paper 1 being rather easy so I felt kinda relieved... but then there was paper 2... and that one hour interval btwn the papers felt like a second... so here's the thing abt paper 2: 4 structure questions all compulsory, 5 essay questions choose 3... the first two structured questions brilliant, question 3... not perfect but great.. question 4... half marks??? I dunno but whatever it is that last question was bullshit... i never expected that topic to be questioned, I mean like what the hell??? you spot 50 topics and number 51 comes out... shit... moving on, the essays were numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9... 5 was awesome, confident of a perfect 20... skipped question 6 & 7... had no idea especially question 7... same case like question 4... damn... but this was optional... so i read question 8 and i think a 18 or 19 maybe even a 20 is possible... question 9 was tricky... i mean it wasn't my fav topic, globalisation but i read it and a score above 15 is possible... so all in all, sejarah was not so bad, and now i feel like guilty cuz i was always at loggerheads with the subject i hated for the last 5 years... so bading it farewell, all nostalgic and missing the good old times felt wierd.... but hell no am i going down the history road again... nope history, like its namesake, is history...

So, that's my first week of SPM which i'll never go thru' again... for all its worth, bm, english and sejarah were exceptional this week, and hv always been in different ways... but now it's done, like my review as we get ready for math, both modern and add, as well as physics and moral (bluek...) My nx review will be out in a week, so be sure to check back then... till then, adios!!!

Lev's rating: 3A+'s in the bag... time to get another 7... =DDD
