In a sudden and shocking turn of events, Wilfred Lau of Secondary 4H has somehow managed to worm his way out of the prelims to emerge with a sickeningly average score of 16. Here is the commentary of the mentally exhausting day, which was preceded by a good 1.5 hours of sleep.

7.50am- Recieved Chinese script. Bombed tremendously, getting a C5. Well, there's always the b4 I kept in my back pocket for O levels. Proceeded to listen to the man with the receding hairline do his thing and talk nonsense.

9.00am- Physics. Looks at paper 2. sees 30/50. Sees practical. sees 18/30. Is that a b4 or is that a b4? As it turns out, it's neither, as my paper 2 section B flopped tremendously, getting 13/30. Even an MCQ score of 26/40 is not enough to save it as I plummet to a C5. Things really need to get better if I'm going to scrape into a jc like I planned.

9.35am- And look up they did. Maggie "the REAlity" Ng walks in, and for once I am grateful for her presence. I get my compre first, and feel like someone just shoved my head into a toilet bowl when I see 34/50. A GODDAMN B3 is not good enough. Then comes paper 1, and I feel like the said toilet bowl was filled with alchohol as I see 46/60. Then I rub my eyes, count the marks, and realize that I should have gotten 47/60. Yay. Add that to 34/40 for Oral, and we have a nicely wrapped A1 package.

10.10am- Mdm "pink" Ernie, ironically dressed in purple, walks into class. I am sullen when I see 59/80 on my paper 1, before I realize that I was in fact holding an A2. I grin. Then paper 2 comes, and I frown. 65/100. The hell? I calculate my score, and it comes up to an agonizing 68 and eight-ninths. Then I go to mdm ernie to check the namelist, and see a 70-A2 against my name. Oh well. If I don't complain, nothing will happen. And I intended to keep it that way.

10.25am- History time. Mr "slackiest feller in the staff room" Thiru herds the flock of students to a deserted classroom. As it turns out, while other people were complaining about how their SS had pulled them down, I was grumbling about how my SS couldn't have beaten my history by more. When I saw a big red 28 with a circle around it on my history paper,I think, aiya, si liao. SS sure fail one. I was kinda shocked when I saw a small red 29 with a circle around it on my SS paper. My 1st reaction was wtf? My 2nd reaction was to actually look at the paper. I realize that I actually managed to get 18/25 for my SBQ, my highest in a long long time. Which means that *flip flip*. My SEQ got 5+6=11. If I had less control over my hands I would have less hair than Maran now. This is the first time I have passed my history in upper sec. Go me. Better yet, there may still be moderation. Not that it'll affect me much though. It would be nice to see a C-free report card.

10.45am- We eat a rather nerve-wracking recess. I listen to my mp3 player like the napster icon that i am.

11.30am-Crazy Wong walks in. And I feel a sinking feeling when I see 23/40 and 43/80 for practical and paper 2 respectively. An abysmal score of 28/40 does help to get me another useless C5. That useless C5 soon becomes a somewhat consoling b4 when he decides to give us bonus marks, which pushes me to 60.37. Wooooo!

11.55am- With a score of 21, I really need some really good grades to lift myself to a jc. I feel crestfallen when Limeng announces a b4 for me. Then I pause for a while. wait...a b4 would propel me to a....20 point! I am so happy I shake ciping. Good thing his fan club didnt catch sight of this now, or I would be hearing the voice of the wind as I bleed to death on a random sidewalk. Things start getting better when she announces an 8-mark moderation, which drags my B4 to an A2, and my 20 to an 18.

12.40pm- I am satisfied. A b3 for lit, while not spectacular, does shave another 2 points off my l1r5, rendering whatever history moderation useless, unless it pushes my grade up to a b3. So, in conclusion, here are my results.
EL - A1
EM- A2
AM- A2
Li- B3
Ch-B4
CL- B4( I feel so ashamed, having to use this)
Ph- C5
SS- C5
L1R5- 16 (wheee. Good enough for meridian or tampines I hope)
L1R4- 12
All in all, a good day for me. Just so....sleepy....now....zzzzzz
