i had one with yogurt as the fillings. but it was really nice =)


had one with rich until cannot choc and some walnut


had one, the ultimate, j-e-l-l-y mooncake.


(opps, that quarter gone was becos my sis and I were too anxious to unveal whats inside)
Ane, to put it simply, it's just agar agar made into mooncake shape.
but of cos more high class la. but its still... huh?
but but still the mango one taste superb. bwahaha

Some of the mooncakes kindly sponsered by my auntie. yay!


I should end this nicely right. but. cannot. i must say,
I'm damn disappointed with my physics results.

Finally, prelims have ended.
I dont usually comment on papers. but this time, I'm gonna do it.
Pre-Warning: the following will be mundane post-prelims rants:

So I shall start with the very first paper,
GP Compo: The 3 main topics that I studied for didnt came out. Got quite a shock actually. Helpless for a while. And then I chose this question: "Is the world a dangerous place to live in?" or something along that line la. And all that was in my mind was Ms Norsheha's ... make a clear stand Make A Clear Stand! And I happily wrote a one-sided essay all the way. I cant believe I'm still making such stupid mistakes at prelims. OHGOD.

GP Compre: Nothing much to comment. Wasnt esp good wasnt esp bad.
Maths Paper 1: Was rather pissed at certain questions that I cant do. Dont even know whats the topic of the question.
Econs Paper 2: This was seriously the worst worst econ paper in my whole jc life. My mind was like BLANK, my thoughts all tangled up, what I can rmber was also all mixed up. In the end, I wrote the 3 essays like GP essays. Never felt so helpless/ hopeless before. I guess it was just really too much to memorize for me. I panicked. To sum it up on how bad it was, I cried after the paper. The last time I cried after exams was sec 4 prelims. Sigh.

Physical Geog: This was equally bad. Can say that I didnt study hydrology. Only touch like 5% of the whole topic content. Didnt even memorize. Sigh. And it had to come out in DRQ that needed text knowledge. Whats worse, I cannot decipher the diagrams. This was also the worst physical geog paper I did in my whole jc life.

Maths Paper2: I disappointed myself. I thought statistics were much better than pure maths. But seriously, this paper was poorly done too. The questions, I feel, were weird too. Sigh again.

Econs CSQ: It was on China and USA, global warming. At least I had some knowledge of these issues. But predictably, I forgot some policies too. As I found it at least do-able, others found it do-able too.

Human Geog: I wrote CHina and Japan as SE Asian countries. How stupid. I didnt study Urbanisation. And I lost another 6 marks on DRQ like that. For essay, I cant believe I actually forgot a whole casestudy in which I can still remember the stats now. I actually didnt write maquiladoras for role of govt. What happened?

Physics MCQ: Neutral about this. But I guess the score will still be those bordering ones.

After the prelims, I realise major problems I face now
1) My ability to memorize and then regurgitate has greatly, drastically, alarmingly, significantly reduced. This is a BIG WORRY. I take geog and econs u see.

2) There's always a fear in me when doing econs and maths. Seriously I dont understand how one can actually memorize, not saying all, but most of the content. It's like freaking lot. I think it will take about a month of intensive memorizing. Given my memory now, I guess after the second week, I wont remember things I studied during the first week.

3) Double papers in a day makes me mad.

4) I get all panicky and I cant straighten my thoughts.


And so, I'm penning all this down to make sure I know how bad prelims was. The A's must be perfect.
