Yawn yawn yawn. Why can't anyone tell me 'why not exams instead'? I'm sure brainiacs like the MOE can come up with many answers! Firstly, I loved the English P2 passage, but not the questions. Can't they cut us some slack? Secondly, the ELP1 was awful, and in conclusion, the english paper is totally awesome. Breath-taking. Whatever.

"An emblem of unyielding grace". I like this phrase, and although I know I'm misinterpretating it, it feels to me as though this phrase, if it were describing someone, the person would have to be strong and has to have fabulous etiquette. That person is beautiful. Enough of ranting about someone so difficult to come across.

You know, I like geography. Ask me where Germany is and I'll tell you, in Europe, next to Poland, France, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium...show me a map, I'll point it out to you. The thing is, I don't really associate tourism, agriculture, etc., with geography. My definiton of geography is the land. What shape. Water, where? What beautiful feature of the land. I guess this point of view is a little shallow. Then how can people, amazing people, come up with such beautiful poetry on landform? They just gush and gush and gush about the place. And when they come up with poetry on humans, homo sapiens, mankind, some of them just diss and diss and diss. It's amazing, humankind, they praise anything but themselves. Such humble beings. Excluding a whole lot of humans, I would like to point out. Maybe including me.

Yesterday was fine. Yesterday was awful. Yesterday left me in full jubilation of God for bringing me through the English exams. It was excrutiating writing the compo. My brain cells were overworked and underpaid. The compre left me in a stupor. The summary, when I came to it, felt okay because the rest were like ground-breaking news. Oh help me. I hereby conclude that anything with tests are awful. Everything without tests makes the subject more free and we are able to focus on any areas of the subject that interests us. Like history. I wish I could do the Biblical thing for the O'levels. At least I get to learn something I still have a passion for.

Come on, Prosit! Prosit! Let's drink to health. Btw the word 'Prosit' is German. There are a few things I'm confident of. I have a distinct feeling that I'll have nothing to be confident of once the Mid-years hit me full-blast. God bless me.

P.S. I love Germany. I still love English, no matter what others try to do.
