Update..

Geeez, everyone's mugging for the Os and who's online?.. Me.

Quite a few things happened these days and let's just summarize it. Cambridge Tutors College(CTC) has agreed to let me join in the coming January! The principal, actually. They still want to see my O-level results though, which I am pretty worried about.

I don't think I did well for the English oral and Chemistry practical. The latter was like as screwed as full blown AIDS. No joke. I shall list what happened by order:
1. Titration-- repeated the whole thing until my solution Q(in burette) finished. Kept on missing the point because I was trying to multi-task, which was pure dumbness.
2. Q.A(part 1)-- I got chlorine gas, my damp blue litmus paper was bleached. Don't ask why.
3. Q.A(part 2)-- I got white ppt, insoluble in excess. Which means, the solid is CALCIUM. I wrote that down.
4. Q.A(part 1, 2nd try)-- No idea why I took potassium dichromate to test for sulphate gas. While doing so, the stupid bottle slip out of my hand, the lid was loose and my exam script became an art piece. Sulphate gas not present.
5. Titration(planning experiment)-- Dejected about the mess I made, I slowly did the question. I think I wrote the correct plan, but I was overly affected by the KCr2O7 thing, didn't keep track of the time and didn't finish it in the end.

So all in all, I screwed it really badly. I think I failed super badly for my Q.A(like d-oh), very demoralizing. The whole experience has been haunting me for quite some time now. I remember after that practical, my whole day was ruined. My nap was ruined too. I woke up suddenly after I remembered about the calcium thing and the gas thing. I don't know why I only tested for ammonia gas and not others like oxygen, carbon dioxide and such.

And to think that Q.A is like 21 marks.

I'm having headache right now.
