Many Firsts

The past two days, I've felt smarter than the whole of this term combined.
Please bear with me on this post. All I'm going to go is brag. Seriously.
These are just endless ramblings

1) First of all, yesterday I was able to get my first 100% on an Additional Mathematics test. I was so shocked. Hahaha. I suck at math. Chapter tests on A Math always end as a FAIL, and every single time, I'd just accept it. This was my first 100%. EVER. In the whole history of A Math, E Math and sec2 math, my first 100% on a math test. I would have thought that E Math would have been the first of the two maths that I'd get 100 in because my scores for E Math were actually mediocre and okay. Nonetheless I got B's and A's and A*'s. As for A Math, there was a complete different story. I failed or did really horribly in every single one of the tests. In fact, for the last topic, co-ordinate geometry, I only scored a 4/15. Imagine my shock when I actually became one of the 3 people who scored 100. The best part was when Ms. Vidya said, 'Now everyone, do the corrections'. It felt so damn good to watch everyone fix their mistakes while I stare at my flawless paper and chat with the other 2 100-ers, Vania and Jusuf.


2) Second. My first A* in biology. Yes. Biology. In fact I got 31/36. Okay this isn't REALLY the greatest achievement. In fact, the greatest thing about it is the feel-good factor attatched to this mark. I beat Oliver. For once in my life, for just once, I got to beat Oliver AND Jessica in bio. Hahah. The difference in the mark might not be great but it's the difference between an A and and A* :P. I would have put this achievement(beating Oliver in biology) as my first, however, it really isn't number one. If it weren't for CLAUDIA who scored a 33/36, this would have been my #1 achievement. How sad. To beat someone and to think yourself awesome ony to turn around and find you have someone else to beat. Man it's annoying. ARGH.


Okay that's enough bragging. Yesterday, or should I say the day before yesterday,(it's past 12)Oliver taught me to count cards. I had always wanted to learn ever since watching 21. I never had enough initiative to actually go online to find out HOW though because the movie said it was only for 'gifted' people. So I didn't bother.
But I can count cards now. Just not as well. I guess you do have to be quick in counting cards as the dealer deals fast. And you need a good memory and an EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION.
I'm determined to improve. Ever since Oli taught me, I've been bringing my deck of cards everywhere. Oli and I are going to Macau when we grow up. Haahah.
Thats one more promise to fulfill.
The other one is to go backpacking around Europe with Jessica.
They both have to happen.

Oh and it's termtest week next week. It's Saturday today. Why am I not sweating? I haven't studied for anything. I really want to do well this term and prove myself wrong about being stupid. I guess I'd better go study then.
