omg smo
SMO Senior seems to have become considerably harder as compared to the past year papers for some reason.
It was quite scary that I could not do so many questions, and I think I almost threw up or something, so I went to the toilet to not think about it halfway.
Oh well, but it seems that a lot of people died for SMO, even Shi Jie says so D:
But there were definitely some questions that I could have answered, but I just forgot the methods to solve them. especially the one which sums fractions in the form (n+2)/(n*sqrt(n+2))(sqrt(n)*(n+2)), that was so much like the SMO Junior question, which basically was the same thing but with n+2 replaced by n+1, it was really annoying that I kept forgetting how to do that question, even if I learn the answer to that question, I always seem to forget how to do it the next time I see that question.
And then there was this dumb one, q10 of mcq where you are supposed to cut and paste aargh why didn't I see that.
Oh well maybe still can get gold medal with like 10 or 9 marks out of 35 :<

Well,
It has been a while since I've had time to update this blog.
So basically, I just realised that I was actually staying up later after exams rather than before them because I was choinging PBL (tanking a bit as well). Bio PBL mostly, but also I tanked quite a bit of SMP. Most of the Physics e-learning project was like "fold a paper aeroplane", so I let my other group member do that. For some reason while writing this I can't really seem to remember what else I was doing (short-term memory loss) other than doing bio/SMP until around 2am in the morning.
Msg 2.0, not especially good, it seems that so many people did well this term it makes me kind of sad, even though I did improve by a little bit. Apparently my english is pretty horrible. Well, at least the marker said I did not address the question well enough. Kind of my fault, because halfway through writing the essay I looked at it and thought "am I really addressing the question?" and then I decided that I was, so :/.
Well, at least it is an improvement. My Chinese and my IH went up one grade, meaning that my Chinese is actually better than my English. I find that somewhat unnerving. Math and Sciences yay, everything else :V
On a happier note I think I have cleared most of the pressing demands at the moment, like Bio and SMP. I have also been playing around with Adobe Illustrator (thanks to Lim Jing lawl). Here's what I've been working on for SMP and with AI.
SMP:
[EDIT: just realised I might survey some of you guys so no pics :<]
Messing around with Adobe Illustrator, very fun! lol:
This one involves extensive use of the crystallisation tool. The right side is quite nice, but the left side kinda messed up a bit.
This one uses the twirl tool a lot. I had to fill in all the gaps using paint bucket, that took a while lol but it turned out quite nice.
I like the second one better =D
Yesterday night I went to learn some physics for the Physics Olympiad, I basically revised M5 and M6 in one night lol.
Now I will probably slack off a bit more and then study for SMO.
Have fun, good luck everybody, hope we do much better next term! (and try not to waste hols lol)
