AFTER EXAMS! WEE!

OMG I FINALLY ENDED MY EXAM!!! Anyway I studied til 12 ytd night. I took a long time to study Origins of Cold War, so by the time it was 11 I still had not studied Extension of Cold War, End of Cold War, Religious Fundamentalism and UN sbq. But somehow I couldn't study anymore. I wasn't feeling sleepy, but nth was gg in. HAIS. And it so happens that the history qns were hard! By the time I saw the Q3 and 4 (the 2nd and 3rd essay qns, which are based on extension and rf respectively), I totally gave up. Just like Jewel who says she has alot of free time during history exams cuz she has nth to write, I have a lot of free time! Usually there isnt anyone gg to toilet during history exam cuz of the time constraints, but this time round theres so many. And one even sighed loudly as he went out. Haha. Anyway these are my qns:

1. UN SBQ - Is the Un General Secretary an instrument of the Big Powers?
(in the end none of the case studies I studied applies for this cuz the qn is not on the organs of UN but on the UN General Secretary)
2. (Origins of CW - Sth along the lines of...) The origins of the Cold war is fundamentally due to how and why the Grand Alliance disintegrated. How far do you agree?
3. (Extension of CW) The Korean War reinforces the existing CW trends, and was not a decisive turning point in US-Soviet relations. How far do you agree?
(omg i din study the impact well enough to make an argument!)
4.(RF) How does religious fundamentalism threaten regional security?
(I also din memorise this, especially the diff levels of security, cuz it wasnt an impt part...And the thing is even if I knew, I wouldn't know what topic sentence to write for this cuz it can be written as one paragraph only! I know because I did an essay on diff levels of security before!)

So basically the qns are specific and hard. Actually so far the teachers have been giving us simple qns. These qns are A level standards. I find it good that they give us simple qns, if not we would have lost all hope long ago. But yet again its not giving us the practise we need. Anyway, after that Jo and I went to crash Aga's hse, and we made her cook for us! In the end Jo's father ended up driving us there and we got lost along the way cuz we don't have her address. Original plan was her to pick us up at the mrt or bus stop. SO we tried calling aga so many times but it didn't get through and in the end we called so many ppl and finally got her home number. Seriously I dun like her Xiao Hei whenever we come in. Cuz at the start he would be very excited and happy abt the visitors and will literally pounce on ppl!!! SO scary! After that he would gradually calm down and become a quiet kid. So we ate tom yam noodles and drank aga's peelfresh. Then we watched 200 pounds of beauty. Its very very touching! I think Korean acting involves alot of those subtle expression that we see everyday in our lives and thus make it seem very real to us. Anyway if you havent watched it you better! This show was recommended by Jo, and she said it was her fave Korean movie of all time! After Jo left I went back to my DDR again and I got Level A!!! Weee! shall post the photo later! haha!! But it was easy level....Its ok cuz easy level and normal level are abt the same. Its a great and sleepy day! Im going to sleep at 10 today finally! wee!
