To me:

Ok apparently, I, wingleng, left one of my amaths O lvls paper question 8 blank. That is well 7 marks. In short I missed it out. I did not see the question, in slang, my eye got stamp cannot see. What hurts the most is that I am able to do the question, or even not, maybe a few working marks. The bad habit of mine is extremely distinct this time. Hard questions can do, easy ones make mistakes. And this time the mistake was not even seeing it let alone attempt it or having a careless mark. The irony of it all is that I changed my contacts to a fresh new one today. For all the years I've did maths, I have NEVER left out any questions. Of all times the first time I did was in the all important O'level exam. Talk about good timing. After cross-referencing with other students, I somehow got the other harder questions right, not surprisingly. As the people around sulk about how they've lost 13, 15 marks already and ask me to not feel bad. Though I didn't say it, I felt that those marks you lost were because you either did not know how to do it or that your calculation was faulty leading to a careless mistake. Well I on the other hand, did not even attempt it. To me that's the worst mistake ever, the worst and dumbest way to lose a mark. On top of that I knew how to do the question. You may say it is somewhat a careless mistake as well, but I would definitely have your careless mistake in calculation than missing out an entire question as you still would get working marks. Worst still now I HAVE to get myself an A1 to not let this regret bother me for life. If I get A2, I would assume that drop in grade was due to my mistake of overlooking that question. If I get B3 I would assume the drop from A2 to B3 was due to that and so on. And well the only positive good thing that can come out of this is that if.. IF I still manage to get an A1, well I can laugh it all you guys faces. ARGH :@.
