I'm finally exam free! I haven't blogged in more than a week! and I just realised that blogger has added a new video option. cool beans. Here I am typing a nice blog entry at 650am, when normally (before the exam) I'll be trying to read some notes to get some information in.
Preparing for this exam has been tiring. On Monday night, charmaine, fawn, kw, eugene, alex, kh and I stayed in the library until 12, and by then we were all so exhausted and sleepy. Then on Tuesday night, a few of us stayed in the library until 9, upon which when I got back, I just gave up and went to sleep early :)
Yesterday was really nice though! The exam was at 8am and the night before, mom called me up and she was very worried that I wouldn't be able to wake up in time for it. She even asked me whether I wanted a wake-up call, but I had to wake up at 6+ and it would be crazy for her to call me then. So I just set both my alarms, the tactic which hasn't failed me yet. :) zx was late to meet us, then we walked to the engineering hall, and it was freezing yesterday! The weather was so nice a few days before that, in the 20s I think. Then yesterday it dropped to about 16! At least, it felt like 16. We went into the exam hall and I sat between hc and zx. When reading time started and I flipped the paper over, I was absolutely horrified, because there were some questions for what we learned on monday, which I obviously didn't study for. I think there were about 2 pages of those questions and I heard hc on my left go, "shiiiiiiiiiiiiit" When the paper started, I just ploughed my way through the first 2 pages, and took a whack at the questions. Some of them came out in the formative quiz that was online the night before. sneaky buggers. It got better towards the middle, and the end became horrible again because it was microb, which I didn't study for either, but it was just about 1 or 2 questions.
After the exam, sy, kw, sheryl, hc, armaan, zx and I went to clayton for lunch! We went to this restaurant called Taste of Singapore. sy, kw and I shared a murtabak, a cheese prata and a nasi lemak. All the fattening stuff. :) but it was nice! I didn't even eat prata when I went home, which is really retarded because I stay so near to THE prata place. Ah well. I'll go when I go back at the end of the year. The cheese prata was nice though! They stuffed it with mozarella so it was very stringy.
When we got back to school, after a nice lunch, we decided to go and play some sports! smart, but we didn't have a VERY filling lunch anyway. When we got to the courts, the badminton courts were all full, so sy, zx, sheryl and i decided to try squash, since the courts were empty. I haven't played since I was in J1. I sucked then and I am no better now. In fact, I may be worse now because of all the creaky bones :)
I'll blog more later. Need to go get ready for school. It's so cruel. The morning after the exam and we have an 8am lecture -.- Take care and God bless~
