Tuesday ... SMO! 2 1/2 hrs paper. 10 multiple choice and 25 short answer questions. Sounds easy ... but it's called Maths OLYMPIAD for a reason. All of us were scammed very badly. Cassey and Tengwei got scammed by one damn stupid question. Couldn't remember the exact question but it was something to with an equation and there were 5 choices. The question was asking for the largest PRIME value that satisfy the equation. Note!! It's PRIME. Haha. The only 2 options that satisfy the equation was 7 and 91. Tengwei and Cassey chose 91 while Susu and I chose 7. Very big difference ok! Then they realised ... 13 x 7 = 91 ... Lol!
Then comes the most stupid thing that I could have ever done. There was one question on trigonometry. Forgotten the equation but it was a damn long one. I decided to just tikam and put 50 as the answer. BUT Cassey told me that he was very sure that the answer was 0. So I decided to believe him and change to 0. HOWEVER, after much calculation after paper, we realised that the answer was 50!!!! ARGH!!!!!!
Okay ... It's all over and there's nothing that can be done anymore. Then after that Mdm Ng asked us to help her carry a damn bloody heavy steel cabinet down from the general office to the St. John's Room which is on the 1st floor. It was really very very VERY heavy. Tengwei, Cassey, Susu and I decided that it was easier to just slide it down the stairs instead of carrying down. (Furthermore, since it was STEEL, we guessed that it will be quite hardy) Mdm Ng had instructed us not to block the passage way and put it at the side, so we just put it by the lockers. (Did I mention that the lockers were by the door, so actually we put it in front of the door. LOL! Well .. She didn't say that we could not block the door right? Anyway, we are just trying to make things easier by putting it by the door so that they could easily carry it into the room. :P )
That was for SMO. Pretty fun. Lol. After that went to J8 for lunch with Tengwei, Samuel and Susu. Headed for training at 2pm. Was quite slack. So training ended with a mini game which was pretty much ... err ... fun?
Received a call from Ms Chia. Originally it was just to check out the situation there. (She wasn't there for training) But in the end I realised that we had to RE-ARRANGE the tables back into the same manner as it was before. YES! RE-ARRANGE! I had no idea what the arrangement was as when I got to the hall, all the tables were already messed up by my good juniors. -.- Spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out the arrangement through the call and another 20 trying to arrange the tables. How irresponsible can my juniors get man! Should teach them a lesson ...
So now SOMEONE owes us (as in all those who helped arrange the tables) a lunch. Haha.
I think that's all for Tuesday.
Oral later! Wish All who are taking the oral later good luck! Hope that it will be able to pull our grades up! Jiayous! Will be going to Samuel's place. May be staying overnight. Haven't decided. Might not be able to do a post. So ... will post on Thursday night!
Friday:
Chinese Prelim! Not too bad a paper overall... Paper 1 was pretty okay. Written the informal letter and narrative. Used the same plot for my essay. (We did the topic before) Paper 2 was kinda killer. The multiple choice questions were so difficult that even Tao Tao was also not sure of the answer. (it's TAO TAO okay!) And the passage about the squirrels, I should have just help the marker put a 0/6 for the section. Fortunately, section B was okay. A lot of the answer could be found from the passage. Summary was the easiest section for paper 2. (for me at least)
After the Prelim, went back to class to pack up all my stuff under the table (finally!) but didn't bring them home since almost everyone left their things in class. Played cards and Chinese chess till about 5 then went home to change before heading to Hougang to watch match.
CHS vs Hai Sing Alumni
Forgotten the score but it was a very nice game. Last match for them to mark the end of their journey in the u19. I am sure it was a good experience for all who played. I can see a bright light in front of the team. Jiayous for 2008!! I m sure the team will make it far.
Tong pang Ms Chia's car to AMK MRT. She keep changing her mind. At first I just say send to MRT she say ok. Then change to my home. Then after that change back to MRT. LOL! Calls keep coming to her when she's driving then had to put on loudspeaker and hold for her.
So... reached home at 8 plus I think. Actually I could have met up with Ms Chow and Ms Kwok (Lilian... or rather Mdm Kwok already) but because of the match I couldn't. It has been some time since the last time I saw her. Really wanted to meet up with her. After all, she's the one who brought me into Volleyball in CHS.
So that's for Friday
-------------
As for today, went to meet Cassey, Aaron and Leo at Macs in J8 at 8am. Susu came with his dad at 8.45am to fetch all of us to NUS FASS. 4 of us squeeze at the back. My right leg went numb.
The Geog Challenge Preliminary Rounds was a total killer! The multiple choice section. 30 questions to be answered in 30 minutes. Sounds easy, doesn't it? But ... ... Did I mention that all of us only know how to answer 1 out of 30 questions. Yes ... ONE!! The question asked for the capital city of Australia. THAT was the ONLY one that we know. Then for the Group Problem solving part, it was quite a successful one as we crapped our way through to make up a 2-page report.
Just hope that we can get into the next round (which is highly possible ... LOL!) At most if we don't get in, just go and visit Ms Chia only. No ... By that time would be Mrs Low :P
Went for lunch at marina square KFC. Reached back home at about 2. Slept until 6. (Piggish life)
That's all for now. Maybe I'll update later if I am bored enough. Haha.
