Overview of my First Term Test

  Hello again. Today I got the results of all my subjects for my first term test which I have been posting about every now and again since I started blogging for the third time. I will assure you that there will be no more talk about this test after this post because I know it is of no importance of you. So anyways, the tests were held two weeks ago and comprised of 8 different papers. The first would be Bahasa Melayu (BM), followed by English (BI), Math (MT), Science (SC), Geography (GEO), History (SEJ), Life Skills Class (KH) and Agama (AG). 

  I will start with BM. This was one of two papers I did not fare that good in. I only got 65% which is a B in Malaysian standards. At first it was 60% (C), but after two corrections I managed to get 65%. I don't really know the reason I got such a bad mark. To tell you the truth, I really thought I could get an A for it after doing the paper. They are still a few questions that are debatable but I will let it pass since there is no use in trying to fight a dying cause. Since this was the first results I got, it really made me panic about how I would do in the rest.

  The second subject would be English. This, I did very good in. I got 100%. Even if I did very good in it, I did not feel very good because of my BM paper. I would rather give away 15 points from my English paper and add it to my BM. I bet a lot of people want to do that. Nothing much more to say about English.

  Next would be Math. I got 92 which to me is very good. I did waste one mark. This happened because instead of putting A,B,C or D as my answer for my 10th objective question, I wrote 10. Wow Zoie, that was awesome! Anyways, besides that there were only a few mistakes. I think I did very good in my maths but it still needs some polishing.

  Science. This is the second subject that I did not do so good in. I got 85%. I know it is an A but I was so much more better in my Science in the past year. You may say I am not grateful but I am just posting what I think about. What really surprised me (and my classmates) was when Ong got 99% for her Science. That is next to impossible. This mainly has to do with this one question. It asks you to draw a diagram of an artery, vein and one more thing I can't remember. It does not write label in the question. Anyways, I still labeled 'lumen' in all three diagrams. There was still one other thing I did not label. So I got the whole question wrong. It was 2 or 3 marks. I should at least get half mark for labeling 'lumen' and drawing the diagram. The thing is, how did Ong know how to label it. It baffles me.


  Next it Geography. I got 87%. This is a great improvement since last year because I only got 1A out of the four geo papers in that year. There was one main factor that caused that but I don't have the time and energy to explain that. There are 2 questions that are being debated with my teacher. She will tell us tomorrow if I get to add a few marks or if it stays the same. I am hopping to get the extra marks. 


  History. I also got 87% in this subject and I share this mark with one of my friends who also got 87% for both Geo and Sej. Thats cool I guess. Anyways, 87% is what I expected for my Sej. The questions were not that hard but did pose a challenge to me. There was only one correction for this paper but it did not effect my mark. 

  Now I am coming up to my Life Skills Class paper. I got 83% and weirdly enough I shared the highest marks with two other students. I was lucky I got away with an A. Some of my friends were even luckier. They got 80%. They better hope there are no corrections that might reduce their marks to a B. That would be terrible. 

  Finally Agama. I got 81%. This is the first A I ever got for Agama since standard 2, 6 years ago. Boy was I happy. I was lucky the teacher who ticked it was nice and corrected me and still gave me marks. I still can't believe I got an A. I was so happy when I got the results. I hope I can pull this of again in my PMR which is in 7 month. 

  Overall, I think I did very good. Even if I got a B for BM, I got A's for all that other subjects. This is the first time I got 7A's out of the 8 subjects. Before this I only managed on 5A's out of the same 8 subjects. My average result for this test was 85%, the highest I ever scored as far as I can remember.That is all I have for you. Please don't be shy to leave a comment. Bye.

The weeks holiday

Hi. Sorry I have not posted anything for more then a week. It is just that I have been so busy with nothing that I did not have the time to post something new. So anyways, I got my bm results for my test and they were not very good. 63% actually. Real bad. The holidays started last week. I went to PD for the raptor watch which is when all these migratory birds fly over PD. There is a carnival and everything. I entered a treasure hunt and won a 2 night stay at a hotel, so that was good.

Got the new FIFA game finally. It is okay. They have futsal on it now which is fun. The rest is the same. Only a few changes here and there. Playing online is easier and faster then before which is wonderful because it used to be so hard to play online with the older FIFA game.I am still not done with my Mario bros. Still stuck on the last level. It is so hard.I think I will just go online for a walkthrough. Also got this new game for my ds. It is called Mario hoops 3 on 3. It is basketball but with Mario. Very fun.

The rest of the week was good except for the part where my bag got stollen. That was bad but at least I could get a new pencil box and calculator. Went to MPAJ on Wednesday for my history class project.They gave us a presentation and tons of books and free food. I got a lot of info from that presentation. It makes my history project easier to do. Played futsal with friends on Thursday. My body was so sore by Friday.

So went to Frasers hill on Friday. So nice and cold. There is so much mist. I can only see 2 meters in front on me. Went walking all over the town. Still there now. Just did some archery this morning. Only 5 out of 10 hit the target. The rest went flying away. My sister is watching the new shrek movie. So I have nothing else to blog about today. Sorry for the short post. Until next time bye.

Catching Up

Hi again,

  I am just going to continue from my last post on Thursday. What happened since then and stuff. Friday was like any other Friday. Was so worried I would not be able to play football because they had this anti mosquito campaign. In the end all they did was do a fairly good performance and sprayed mosquito spray on all the teachers. Why? I asked the same question. Anyways it was over in 15 minutes and I was able to play football. 

  Had Saturday school. Did not do much. Half the teachers came in but we only studied very little. Only 22 out of 42 students came in my class. When I got home I had to do tons of studying. Sunday was good I guess. Went to look at new cars with my family. 


  Checked out Honda and Peugeot. Took a ride in the CR-V and the Peugeot 3008. I must say the 3008 beats the CR-V in all ways. To start with it has a TURBO engine. It comes standard with leather seats and the compartment between the driver and passenger seat is like a mini fridge. COOL! The roof of the car is also all glass. It has so many other cool features but my dad says he thinks Peugeot is not reliable. WHAT!! It won best car of the year in some european car magazine. He gave an excuse that there was no good word about that car from the States. Anyways it is his money, but I do think the CR-V is to simple if you compare it with the 3008.

One of these days we are going to try out the new Accord face-lift. My mum is not real found of getting another accord because it is to long and she finds it difficult to park it in the small parking lots in AP and stuff. I will agree with her as long as it brings my father closer to buying the 3008. I am just going to have to see. 

There was a spot-check on Monday morning. As a prefect I had to help all the teachers in checking all the students. I don't understand why you can't bring liquid paper to school. Anyways I helped and found nothing. (I can't say anything more about what I found or did not find as this post might be read by teachers of my school, but really I did not find anything) The funny things was that the teachers did not bother to check the prefects. If they checked us I think a lot of the prefects would be in big trouble. 

Just today I had my KH test. It was okay. The first 30 questions were easier then the last 30. I have a positive feeling that I can score an A on that subject. Went for a jog all around Taman Tar. It was the furthest I ever ran. (6.1 km) Thats is all for now. Please don't be shy to leave comments.

Tetanus

  Today was the day my form finally got the tetanus shot. Before I tell you about the pain and stuff I must rewind back a few weeks. 

  We are all at school like normal. Everything is normal except that somehow it came to our attention that the Ministry of Health was giving tetanus shots to all form 3 students. Everyone panicked, I mean everyone. Even I felt a bit frightened about the whole idea. I have not received a injection in so long. The next day if I  am not mistaken our class teacher gave out forms for us to sign regarding the shot. We all thought it was the end.

  As the days passed by, people who already took the shot from before told everyone about how painful it would be. That was not good for the rest of us. (ADEESAKH!!!) Almost every time someone came in to make an announcement in our class I would say "tetanus, tetanus" and all my friends would looks at me and I was like okay....... (my left hand is still sore from the shot)

  The next week we started to cool down. We rarely talked about the shot. Then came today. We just finished BM class. Our next subject was Agama. Our teacher did not enter the past two classes for that subject so we were all hopping she would not for the third time. Suddenly a very AWESOME Shibel shouted out to everyone that the tetanus shot was today and in a couple of minutes.  The class went wild. 

  I went to Shibel just to see a teacher right next to her. The teacher told us that we would have to go down to the Hall to receive our shot around 9. At that time it was 8:57. Just Great! Our Agama teacher came in. Me and Azeem went down to the hall to check if we had to do the shot. We did, but we had an hour or so. We both went back to class where Azeem made up a fake story that the van that was full of nurses that would bring us torture crashed. A few peopled believed it. Some did not. He told the truth eventually.

  During Agama class I kept on looking out at the corridor waiting for someone to call us downstairs. It was not that I wanted to do it, just that I wanted it to be over. This form 4 or 5 boy finally called us down. Once downstairs we sat for at least 20 minutes doing nothing until finally the teacher in charge told us that the nurses went for a break and that we should go and eat. So I did and came back.

  The nurses were back. After everyone was inside they briefed us on how much fun they were going to have hurting us. Azeem went first. I had to record him. My hand were shaking cause I was next. It was my turn. Rolled up my sleeve. The nurse wiped some alcohol on my shoulder. She took the needle. Dam it was long! At then, nothing... I could not even feel the needle go in and only barley felt the push of the shot. I was done. 

  Looked at all my other friends who had yet to get the shot. Some were scared, other were not. Some looked like they rather just die there and then. After 5 minutes I could feel my arm going numb. There was some pain. Some of my other class mates had really painful shots. I don't know why. Maybe it depends on the thickness of your fatty layer or just where the shot was gave. Anyways, that is my story about tetanus.
