Whew . Received all my results . Will keep you guys updated during the weekends , and those who want their names to be added to their list , I hope you can wait 'till the weekends as I'm incredibly busy .

Sorry for the lack of update guys . Got caught up with the terrible haze . :/

Please don't be disillusioned along the way . I know SPM is stressful but don't turn it into a rat race . It's not about who's the fastest in finishing the syllabus . It's about who's the one who understands everything before SPM . It doesn't end at SPM .

********************************************************************************************

After receiving my midterm results , my principal decided to include me in our school's excellence program . I rejected it , because it's unfair to the other students . And I'm sick of the talk about SPM being an exam that determines what you'll be in the future .

I want to enjoy the journey leading to SPM . The result is a bonus . I see so many people saying " after SPM , I'll be free . " But the truth is far from that .

They choose the top 5 students based on the midterm results and plaster the word " Harapan Semua A+ " on their faces . They must place their signature on an " Aku Janji " form , in doing so , attend more extra classes than usual , report on their progress , and are not allowed to skip school .

My initial response was it was unfair for other students , why only the top 5 are targeted for straight A+s ? The ' not allowed to skip school ' part was a big turn-off because I like to study on my own pace and regularly skip school . Most of the time in class , I can't study due to noisy environment .

Now I'm like a fugitive .
The principal and GPK Akademik have branded me as arrogant , and they warned that since I don't want to be helped , they won't help me .

If a bird walks on top of the dome ( with a radius of 25 units ) , and it can only keep its balance up to a maximum gradient with magnitude of 2 .

Find the coordinates of the points that represent the maximum distance from the horizontal and vertical axis that the bird can walk without slipping downwards , where the equation of the curve is y = -4/125 x^2 + 20

An arithmetic progression has 9 terms. The sum of the first 4 terms is 24 and *sum of all the odd number terms is 55* . Find

a.)the 1st term and common diff.
b.)the seventh term

The problem , I feel , is the wording of the question ( marked * ) .
By odd number terms , does it say T1 , T3 , T5 , or the actual numbers themselves ? If it's the former than I may have to re-consider my understanding of the term "term" in progressions .

Example , an A.P may consist of 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ...

Are the odd number terms 3 , 5 , ... or T1 = 2 , T3 = 4 , ...

No .

Done with the entire SPM Physics syllabus .

All I can say is , HELL YEAH !

I'm going to use this as a motivation to finish the other subjects' syllabuses . English , for me can be considered done for , too .

8 more subjects to go . I'm so close to complete Maths .

I'm here to also add that I've asked some Maths questions but did not reply to them , as you can see , my posts are fragmented . I'm sorry . But I'm racing against time to finish my syllabus . Now I'm closer to doing so , I shall post more frequently .

I have to be honest that I'm worried right now . The stress has come back . It's good though , it'll keep me going .

How did Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan go for you guys ?

I don't know , buddy .

At this point in my life I have so many mixed emotions .

I just finished Maths' syllabus yesterday . That leaves me with 7 more subjects . I agree with you about the language subjects , especially BM . I was once the most fast when it comes to finish reading literary works . Throughout form one to form three , I absolutely loved Cerpen and Sajak . I can still remember the rustic poem about a poet describing his dad sleeping on 'tikar mengkuang' , and the short story titled 'Rahsia' . I read the short story one afternoon , and it was raining -- similar to one scene in the story . Very haunting .
Not anymore , sadly . I'm still not done with Dirgahayu Bahasaku and wasn't completely done with Harga Remaja . The problem lies in answering KBKK questions . I sometimes struggle to come up with simple answers for trivial questions like , ' Pada pendapat anda , mengapakah Raja Indera Bumaya tidak mahu berjumpa dengan Tuan Puteri Ratna secara berdepan , sebaliknya menjelma menjadi burung bayan dahulu ?' ( 3 marks )
I don't have problems with the novel part though .

I really don't think you and your classmates should feel humiliated , really . What's important is you are able to finish your syllabus in time before the trials . ( it's also encouraging that you actually have classmates who are in pursuit of good results in SPM ) . As for Sejarah , yes , it's been stagnant for me too , sadly .

You can't wait 'till the time comes ? Here , I'd like to get back to my initial line :

I don't know , buddy .

While a part of me is eager to finally leave school for college to study A-Levels , a bigger part of me is telling that I'll sorely miss these moments . I don't know about you , but secondary school has been a place where I'd made some truly great friends and experienced many sweet moments with them , I don't think I'll able to find better ones in college . It took us 5 years to really get to know each other and to form a close bond , and now we're finally about to leave .

I'd definitely want to achieve my goal in SPM , but I wouldn't want to be so deep in preparation that I start to miss the moments that unveil around me .

I'm also starting to worry as well .
Trials ? 27th . Technically I have a month's time to finish everything .

So many emotions running through my mind .

Care to update us on your progress ?

Other states will set standardised trial papers for each subject . Negeri Sembilan decided to be clever and not follow suit .

Nope , in fact I'm extra worried . Trials = 27th of August , and I haven't finished the syllabus .

I haven't memorised all the moral definitions . I'm worried for my Bahasa Melayu as the teacher decided not to help already .

About a month to re-study form four and form five Sejarah . What do you think ?

Look at this ! About paper 3 Sej . Looks like we can bring any printed materials in , which means a list of KBKK answers would be okay . Hmmm , good news , good news ...

I'm glad you posted here . Very reassuring .
On a sidenote , one more chapter left for Chemistry and I'm done . The last chapter looks pretty light too , which is a good thing .

So , after my SPM , will you still be here ? I've questions to ask about US university application .

Second one , Stats . Not sure which to choose . I'm leaning towards functions , but it seems I need to design cards or something .

Without Trial results , how would you apply ?

I'm confused . So what would we use to apply ?
