i'm backkkkkkkk!
>> Friday, May 09, 2008
do you miss me? well i dont think you do. heh heh.
so, 2 papers down for me but i'm not exactly excited or depressed cuz i only studied 1 day before the papers, and when i say studying i mean i RECAP :D i wasted my parents' 10k.
to my horror the exam hall was right at the end. expo is not exactly accessible to me. the route goes like this.
walk to a bus stop that is not near to my place, take a bus to either tampines or pasir ris (30 mins), then walk to mrt station, then take the train to tanah merah, then change the train to expo.
then walk another 10 mins (fast paced walking) to hall 1. holy crap.
well, luckily today i am spared from the walking cuz tina's daddy drove me there from pasir ris!
well, its been long since i sat down for a written exam. the feeling is not the same. in jc, i panic when i cannot do the questions, when i don have enough time, when i blank out and forget everything.. the list goes on. but for this, i can sleep, eat, watch friends, do online shopping.... i'm a terrible student.
then it was econs paper yesterday. i never knew an exam hall can be so big. as there were no instructions given, i walked to the end of the exam hall to find out that i never check my sitting arrangement. so i made my way out to check......... and after vying for a spot to check my seat, i have to squeeze out of the crowd and make my way to find my seat.
the paper started. then 2 guys walked towards me and told me i was at the wrong seat. after running in and out of the hall for a good 5 mins i realised i saw the wrong number. i "should" (please note the inverted commas) be sitting at 891 but i sat at 893. so i went to 891 and found someone sitting at my seat.
so the 2 of us went to the invigilator to clear the mess. it turned out that that seat belonged to neither of us. the sitting arrangement is according to our degrees and TO MY HORROR i found out that the person (891) has the exactly same name as me, taking the exact same degree as me. what a timing!
people in the hall are scribbling fiercely while i am strolling around waiting for the invigilators to find my seat for me (ps: they are trying to find my seat for me 1 by 1 using files, there is no computer or whatever when there are 1000 candidates!) . after a good 20 mins, i finally have somewhere to rest my butt. even though i started 20 mins late, i left 11 mins earlier. i chose to leave 11 mins before the paper end cuz we are not allowed to leave 10 mins before. lol. actually, i could have left 1 hour before cuz i stared at the macro question blankly. it was as if the macro questions are greek and not english.
for the stats paper today, not so much hiccups except for the fact that my calculator doesnt have the square root function. we are only allowed to use those cheapo calculators with no memory function and i made the effort to get a laopok but reputable casio BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE A SQUARE ROOT (i assumed all reputable calculators have the basic functions). but how wrong.
so today, while trying to find the standard deviation from the varience 0.0003426 (i think) i spent a good 5 mins doing trial and error. very lame i know.
i think this is one of the more interesting entries i've blog for a long time. my life has been too mundane.
oh well, i decided to join szehwei to help out slc but found out that mr kwek is no longer in charge of slc! slc is spared :x:x:x!!! but then, if there is no one that we know in slc, it is quite awkward to help out also right? i'll see how it goes.
mothers' day is this sunday! hai. actually i am supposed to have dinner with my family today but my parents kana the flu bug. dad got it first and infected my mum. oh ya, my dad did something amazing again.
as he was coughing his life away, my sister bought him the woods coughing syrup. but i think the coughing made him a little blur and giddy, he mistook the cough syrup as the eczema lotion. he didnt realise it himself until i saw his dark feet. i always remembered his lotion to be WHITE. so i had another amusing conversation with him.
"papa how come your feet so black one"
"huh. black meh. i dark lah"
"no leh. did u apply something?"
"ya, applied the lotion."
"but i thought the lotion is white?"
"?_?" (he is thinking)
then, i risked my sense of smell to smell his feet, freak it smells different!
"papa, did u apply the cough syrup?"
"!!!!!" (my dad)
"..." (me)
"no wonder my feet feels so sticky lah!"
now you know where i inherit my blur nature from.
