today talkin bout exam experience!....I'm BACK from THe crypt.. at least for a few days..

Well this is the first post in .. whut... 2 months??? i've just met shin sar on msn and she thought i abandoned this blog already.. haha.. Well I told her not .. YET... haha.

well the semester has been sick ... crazy.. hell.. any other negative things that u can name it enter here---> (...).

I dont know what I've been doing this semester actually.. the previous saturday i had 2 exams and I crazily waited till the day before to start reading the notes. (Before that for those who do not know.. I have a History subject as one of my cores this semester... History of Economic Thought... 3 years after f5 and i have to study history again... "^_^...)


It was hell.. I had to take 7 cups (...or 8...i lost count) of coffee to read up on the History book and I onli started "browsing" through the notes of the other subject - which thank fully was a calculation subject at 4 a.m.....). I didnt sleep at all ..

I took a brief shut eye.. at 6 something in the morning i think.. then i opened my eyes after half an hour and my heart was beating hard and fast.. very fast... I thought "shit...whats happening.. must be the coffee + lack of sleep".. Hands started to shake too .. already 7 something at that moment and my exam was at 9.am.

My heart was pounding mad and I didnt dare to take a bath ( fear that the extremely cold water would cause me to suffer a heart attack .. or go into shock.. really worried.. )

Then to cut a long story short .. I sat for the exam with my heart pounding and my hand shaking. I choose a spot at the end of the exam room. There I had a clear view of everyone, I could see their hand movements (but of course I couldnt see what they were writing lar). I took a look at the question and ... -to borrow a phrase from Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World - I said to myself "What a wonderful world".

I COMPLETELY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER EVEN HALF OF THE QUESTIONS!

I looked around, everybody was writing.. shit.. so I started to write as much as I could remember from the previous night. It was a 2 and a half hour exam. I finished writing as much as I could after an hour, and it was barely half of the paper. I sat there staring blankly at my paper .. .then i looked around .. and another "oh f**K ".. automatically came out of my lips.. practically everyone was still writing , and they were writing rigorously! non-stop!!.. it was as if all were possesed!!!.. and now i'm having cold sweat .. i was practically the only person who did now have anything to write... they continued writing until around half an hour before the paper ended .. someone went to pass up his/her paper and i followed suit. hahaha i sat there for 45 minutes playing with my pen ..

When I went to pass my paper up to the lecturer - she knew my name, for which I dread everytime a lecturer knows me at all - she asked me " So, Kok Shyong, can do?? "I stood there, trying not to sweat... and I told her " ermm.. arr... actually... arrr.... I didnt do this and that and this ( pointing to the questions )" then I quickly walked out. SHIT!!

Damn... well when my frens asked me what I wrote, I told them honestly, "The lecturer wanted history, I wrote her a damn fairytale" "-_-.... sigh.. really... She wanted Adam Smith and the Division of Labor, I gave her Adam Smith and the Big Bad Wolf. She wanted Thomas Malthus and the Theory of Population, I gave her Thomas Malthus and the Ugly Duckling. She wanted Karl Marx and something i forgot... I gave her Karl Marx's Journey to The West.

Aiyooo.. she's gonna kill me when she gives the marks!.. I dont know if she will laugh or tear my paper up when she reads it . sigh! .. all that I have another paper one hour later.

Well.. this is a long enough post for a brief comeback ... I'll post another story tonite if I do come online =)
