eoys are coming in about 2 weeks now. if you fail these exams, there goes 40% of your ENTIRE year's grades.

no pressure at all.
-_-''

anyhoo, revision for me has been quite ok going, except for the humanities subjects, which has always been a problem for me anyway. flashback to last year, where i was still taking this dreaded things called "history".

Me (thinking to myself while reading the test paper): How is this source useful? Useful?!?! What sort of retarded question is this?! *random cursing inside*

Results back later, i barely passed. not very surprising for me though. seeing i'm more of a science person.

and that the fact that i have really screwed up humanities subjects teachers doesn't really help much, does it? i still remember what our present geog teacher said while scolding someone this year. still good for a laugh now, IMO.

Teacher: You didn't hand up your project in a file?!? This shows you have no leadership!!

Me (not the one being scolded) *thinks*: WTF? Leadership? what does this have to do with leadership?!?

poof.

now going through DMP, which means DeModulated Program, although for most of us it's supposed to be De Mugging Period. like me. modules i've taken are prety ok, at least when it gets really boring i have some friends to talk to/poke (ahem). take for instance, one incident in the physics lab, when i was having my "Enriched Modern Optics" module. Huang Yuting (teacher) was at the front droning on and on about something that didn't make any sense to me at all, so, being utterly bored, i decided to entertain myself. pulled out drawer of my workbench, and saw...

Batteries and electrical stuff. so yeah, spent about half an hour tinkering away, connecting ammeters to voltmeters, sliding the rheostat up and down, nearly short-circuiting the ammeter once (the ammeter needle was off the scale, and there were sparks coming out of the battery contacts. oops.) at least it was better than nothing... and amazingly, in the half an hour or so, she DIDN'T NOTICE ME AT ALL. how epic.

Wen Da is suanning me as usual in the maths modules, because he's in 2 out of 3 of the maths classes i'm in, and because he's so pro. take the last Permuutations and Combinations lesson, for example. Wen Da was sitting between me and Daryl (from 3R) and throughout the lesson we were well, helping each other out with the questions, occasionally suanning each other, and sometimes me and Wen Da would declare poke wars on each other. then before the maths trail thing in the next half of the lesson, we were making "suan (acidic)" jokes about wen da. here's some:

"Wen Da reacts with NaOH to produce salt and water."
"Wen Da has a pH of 1."
"Wen Da stop dissolving me lah!" (this was said while Wen Da was poking me.)
"Wen Da turns litmus paper red."
and so on... i think by making all these jokes we were sort of revising for Acids and Bases, so, you see, making jokes about one another is not always bad. =)

went for the maths trail thing later, where we got owned by some really random and hard questions. was group leader of group 9, and had Wesley Aw of 3H (thnx ryoji) and Shayne something of 3G in my group. (sorry lah, my memory always got some holes one.) went around doing questions, and will be sharing some random quotes from this activity downstairs.

on some days, namely Tuesday and Thursday, i would go down to the band room for some practise playing our song for next year, and after that, i'm not allowed to tell you what we did. don't worry, it's nothing illegal.

Random quotes that i can remember:

During Maths trail thing:

Shayne: What's the answer ah?
Us: Err... *punches numbers in calculator* 122 thousand something.
Shayne: Really ah? I got 12 billion plus leh. (whoa)
Us: You're supposed to add these terms leh, not times together lah! (diao)

At another station... the question was how many ways to climb up the stairs if you could take 1 or 2 steps at once.

Shayne: 7 steps, so 3 r 1 is 4, so 4!= 24.
Me: No lah. Because 1 2 2 2, 2 1 2 2, 2 2 1 2, 2 2 2 1 only four ways what.
Shayne: What? can repeat again?
Me (thinking): Damn...

Some maths club guy walks over and looks at our answers.

Guy: Aiyo! this one ah... wrong x 7!
Wesley: Go away lah! I like my wrong answers!

At recess...

Me: Linjin, did you get your file back from Yen san?
Linjin: Yeah. *walks away to clear plate*
Me: You forgot your file!!!
Linjin: oops.
worst thing was, the file was just next to his plate.


At band later...

Brandon: "I was suanning Nick Eu about how next year his class would be 4Q (fock-you), then he said that next year my class would be 4R-m. (forearm). "
for those who don't understand, don't worry, it's sort of an inside joke.


and finally, for those who like to suan people, or just anyone at all, the song is probably going to describe what you feel when you see someone else having problems. the feeling is called schadenfreude, and it's perfectly normal. so, when next time you get into trouble, don't get offended when others laugh at you, cause you might have done the same thing to them before.

Warning: The song contains explicit lyrics, but nothing very serious that you've never heard before lah. so if yo're the super-don't-like-vulgarities type, then don't play the song.





Till next post, and good luck to all who are takin exams soon!
