• i never paid attention to past year paper, i only take a glance to know what type of question they ask then continue with revising. did not notice that the paper has uncanny resemblance with the real paper until after the exam. FML
• i didnt know the alarm clock set on mobile phone can still go off even though the phone itself is switched off. mine goes off when the exam is going, and i frantically get my phone to turn the alarm off without being noticed by the invigilator or else... close.
• after a night without sleep, i planned to have a 2 hrs nap from 9 to 11 am. set my alarm at 11, then went to sleep. only woke up at 1.15 pm when i hv exam at 2. while rushing, i wonder why i didnt hear the alarm. i set it at 11pm instead.lol
• my flatmate rushed to the exam venue on bus (15mnts on bus) this morning, arrived on the venue promptly, and found out his seat belongs to someone else. alter talking to invigilator to solve the problem, he was told he was one day early. his exam paper is tomorrow. FHL lol
• i planned to do a fair a bit of revision during weekend while still catching adequate sleep. set my alarm every morning at certain time to wake up and revise, always overslept. i figure out later that my alarm is set not to go off on weekends.
• there is a small difference in terms of name of chemical substance. i wrote aluminium sulphate instead of aluminium phosphate for one question. only figured out later that i was confused since the name is really close. FML

the feeling of succeeding in something is uplifting. after a while not experience any kind of success, this is rather refreshing. mind you, since years ago, i see myself more as a loser rather than a winner. comparative success was never in my book, i compare my performance with my own benchmark to succeed.
