So the prelim results were out during the last four days, pretty mixed results, matching the mixed feelings I had overall. Severely underperformed for Chemistry, just passed, a frickin' C6, and the fact that I actually studied for it more than previous times,
made me feel a little sick. Physics was slightly better only, with a B4...
Got thrashed in my sciences by sy... =(
The double mathematics produced two A2s, well because of the fact the school set the A1 standard at 85 and above for the two subjects, I had to be contented with four more added points into my L1R5. History was my
usual highlight, obtaining an A1 from a paper containing rather difficult Source-Based questions. =)
English was another highlight, getting a B3 for the first time, if my calculations are all correct. My summary was again the one that pulled me down, but the improvement of my composition and situational writing pulled everything put. Oral needs improvement though. So my L1R5, taking May's Chinese prelim II papers, is
15? Yeah pretty much... =)
Gamespot have given us the first look into FIFA Soccer 09. Looks pretty good I must say, but I feel that there are much to be improved from the 08 version. A custom tactics bank should be added, to store all edited and created tactics, not needing to always create new ones during new managerial modes.
Rain... Snow... Night... NOT ALWAYS IN THE DAY WITH A PERFECT SUN! Especially Old Trafford, it's always sunny in FIFA 08, I think those United personnel hoped for such weather at Manchester. It clearly isn't always a perfect day during football matches. Some snow during the winter period? Some night games, especially the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, and some rain!!! Argh please! More weather functions.
Improve the transfers and stuff. Take out the number of bids thing? Very irritating. Value players better. A player of 73 rating can't be just worth less than a million pounds? C'mon!!! And... Can't there be friendly matches before the start of each season to give time to buy players? I mean... Yeah once one season is over, the next just swoops by with maybe the Community Shield in August, only giving for two or three chances to swoop for players... Argh!
One more thing, why isn't Cristiano Ronaldo on any of the screenies of the first look at FIFA 09? Only Karim Benzema, Wayne Rooney and Franck Ribery? And a fat Ronaldinho? Is C. Ronaldo too expensive or what? Haha... I hope FIFA 09 turns out to be good, both on the PC and the XBox360.
Oh yeah... Go grab your tickets for CHMA08!!! It's selling at $10 per ticket for a 2 hour plus talent showcase/concert! C'mon!!! It's selling every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after school! Go get 'em quick! It's on 19 July... It's a Saturday, no reason not go, eh?
Quotes of the first week of school...
"Hardooo Gayyy!" I love that A LOT! And
"It's pon not absent" or something along that line... That's another classic from... =)
Bye~!
