Ever since I've entered JC, Chemistry has been the only subject that managed to retain my interest in it. It's the subject that I'm able to understand the concept wit much ease and the only subject that evokes my interest every now and then. But application of the knowledge had not been as successful. Today all the year 1 TJC-ians took their first major Chemistry exam and it was really bad. The paper was 2.5 hours long, but the 20 MCQs were supposed to be completed within the first 30 minutes and by the end of it, the examiners would go down the aile to collect it, while the students continued to struggle with the ever so hard sections B and C. B was the essay question, so I decided to go for the thicker section C consisting of the structured questions. I thought it would carry a heavier percentage, but there were the same. I didn't regret making the decision to skip to C first. The flow was good, except that I dwelled too long over a question which I got stucked in. Hence, in the end I couldn't really have sufficient time to complete my sectoion B. Good grace that I didn't panick. In fact I was pretty calm despite all the adversities that were coming my way. I remember my sentiments then, "I will just try to complete whatever I can finish within the remaining time. I will give the long answers ones a miss first, and go for the ones I've greater confidence in." At least I was able to retrieve the necessary information from my brain compartment where they were needed. I knew I hadn't given in my best yet, but I'm rather satisfied with how I've reacted during the test. After all, pastor Steven told me that we learn more than what is already in the syllabus when we work hard and study for something. These are the values of education. During the process, we work hard and earn something that our amount of work is deserved. I used to think that the things we learn now are redundant and inapplicable in our future life, but not anymore.At noon, I went to Bao's house. Joel and Daniel came at a later time because they had their mother tongue paper in the noon. Throughout the entire day, I only manage to read through a little of the answers to last year's JCTs. I was playing FM at other time. When Joel and Dage came, we even played mahjong. We are the most imba students who play mahjong a day before JCTs.=P Tomorrow I'm probably going out with F.F to catch the Happening, though I'm not very keen on that show. I would very much prefer to watch the Hancock, but too bad it's not released yet.Until the next time, all the best and God bless!
