I see..

I see my A flowing down the drain and into the pacific ocean. No, this is NOT suppose to happen for Chemistry! D:

the whole morning, I thought my paper was gonna be alright. it was still okay, I cant say its a confirm A+, A or what-so-ever but hey, at least it has higher hopes of scoring duh!

when it came to paper 3, I feel like tearing my paper into pieces. when I saw the question was about rate of reaction, I smiled. BUT! I smiled too soon.

".... reaction between a metal and an acid. "

when i saw metal and acid. my mind was in trouble already not knowing which metal to chose from the whole ES and which acid to use out of so many of them.. then!

"Use copper (II) sulphate as catalyst."

my mouth hung in mid air and it cant be closed. I could not remember a thing about this experiment. I knew there was such an experiment but I didnt know it would actually come out. after all, paper 2 totally didnt mention Soap and Detergent, Preparation of Salt etc. so I thought it might be those super hard experiments. who knew it was those super tiny experiments I will never bring myself to notice simply because I dont think it will be asked. fine, my fault, i threw my A away.

in the end, i just made up my own experiment and go with the flow. got the metal right, but the acid was wrong. whatever la, serves me right for not paying equal attention to ALL experiments!

Note to everybody, Next Time, NEVER EVER SPOT QUESTIONS. This year's SPM was unsuccessfully spotted or forecast-ed by any teacher (including those who claim themselves to be super psychic). and dont be like me, pay attention to some parts and only read through others. will pay HARD wey! =(
