Tomorrow is my final promos paper. It's physics. I like physics but that doesn't mean i will pass it. I kinda screwed up the paper 2. I really studied very hard but my mind was a total blank when i went into the exam hall.
After freezing my ass off for a whole two and a half hours, I walked out the hall feeling really bad. My classmate,Shareefa, actually told me the paper was okay. That's it man...I'm a goner. Standing outside the hall, the phrase I heard the most was ' oh ya hor...' and ' so easy..'

I am prepared for the worst. I'm taking 4 subjects. Math, Physics, Economics and H1 geog. Screwed up economics, couldn't even remember the 3 main policies of health care in Singapore like medisave, medishield and medifund. Another classmate, Fiona, told me she was smiling her way through the paper. When she told me about the 3Ms, it was my turn to say: 'oh ya hor...' and silence...

The Math and Geog papers were fine. Fine in the sense that i know what they are asking and...it's fine. The promotion criteria however is not "DO YOUR BEST AND WE WILL PROMOTE YOU!"
no....its "YOU MUST PASS 2H2 AND AT LEAST 1H1 >_< "
If the school wants to retain me then so be it. But I just wanna thank my friend QiuYi for motivating me to study one week before the exams. If not I think even the math and geog would be a problem.

Good luck to everyone out there having exams! ^_^

Today i witnessed the failure of civics and moral education that is being taught in schools.
How much time students waste on those lessons that are non beneficial or rather, useless.

My visit to the Jurong library today has proved my point. Reaching at 11am, my sister and I already knew that it was almost impossible to find seats. We went all the way to the 4th floor and wow! two seats! Everything was perfectly fine until i went buy ourselves some snacks from the vending machine. 5 mins later, my seat was taken. The conversation between the person A and my sister went like this:

person: hi. is there anyone seating here?
sister: yes.
(person grabs chair and walks away)

Isn't it sick how the basic courtesy of asking was there but the chair got taken anyway?
Being left with only one chair, we decided to settle ourselves on the floor nearby. A while later, there were 2 seats again. Sat at the seats for an hours or two and that's when my sister needed to visit the toilet. Being afraid of the same thing happening again, i put my bottle on the chair to show its taken. 5 seconds after my sister left the seat, person B came and SNATCHED the chair from me. SNATCHED as in really pulling it hard. My bottle of course, fell onto the ground. In my state of shock, i stared at her but she pretended it was nothing and didn't even bother to apologize. I continued the staring and her boyfriend was actually the one to apologize on her behalf. The conversation of person B with her boyfriend(BF) went like this:

BF: why u take her chair?
Person B: nobody sitting on it what....
BF: But still cannot take what.....
Person B: but nobody was sitting on it!
(stares at each other)
(continue staring)
(BF gives in)

My sister comes back and a gave my seat to her. I got really pissed off that i didn't want to study anymore. So we left at 5 pm. 15 minutes after the incident.
I was angry so i went down first. When my sister came down, she said she had helped me take revenge. haha! their conversation went like this:

sister: i'm sorry, but it was very rude of you to take the chair without asking.
person B: (shouts) SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!
(people around stares at her)
sister: i'm not scolding you. i'm just telling you that you should ask.
person B: (shouts) SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!
(people continue staring)
sister: it's basic courtesy....
person B: (shouts) SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!
SISTER: bitch.
(sister walks away)

Basically my sister was politely talking to her, but she shouted throughout. Causing alot of commotion. On our way home, the more we thought about it the funnier i got. It's like the person had no other vocabulary and felt she was losing out so she raised her voice.

Seriously, going through these two incidents really made me mad. But it should make the government more mad to know they wasted so much effort to teach civics and moral education only to nurture people like this. To all who have read this. If you have friends who are like this, please tell them to STOP BEING SUCH A BITCH! AND LEARN SOME VOCAB! LOL!
