Outing - Pacific

Never had I imagined today would be such an interesting day. Though only two people, today was wonderful with lots of surprise and unexpected, unprecedented events transpiring. First, me and my friend watched the Thai horror Voices From The Grave, I'll post the review of the movie later. Then after that, we had lunch at a restaurant, and I learnt something new, or secrets, about my friend and others. The cat is already out of the bag, but it can still be hidden and remained unseen.

After lunch, we played bowling! I never once dared to dream I would play bowling today, because my father forbid me from playing (he finds bowling exorbitant and waste of time). But bowling was fun, and I got a hang of it pretty quickly.

As a beginner, one must remember to use only light bowling ball - those weighed below 10kg. I got tired of using 8kg ball so I tried 15kg. The first throw was successful, but when I decided to give it a second throw, I kind of hurt my hand and the ball fell on the ground, thumping loudly.

It hurt a lot, actually.

Well, the gist was: bowling's fun. I'm kind of lazy to elaborate.

After bowling, we went to watch a second movie - Priest, the review, again, I'll post later. Apparently we've frequent the theatre enough for the workers to recognise us. The movie was great too, but watching a second movie shortly after the first was a bit tiring.

Possibly because I'm not used to watching televisions, therefore watching long hours movie got a bit tiring. But the movie was exceptionally engaging and mesmerising.

Well, we had dinner after the movie and we dined at Pizza Hut. I ordered a plate of spaghetti while my friend (not disclosing his name, afraid he might not like it) took a plate of rice. The plate of rice was not at all edible for him. He found it extremely difficult to swallow, or even masticate, due to some terrible ordeal he went through.

Okay, maybe I'd exaggerated a bit.

After dinner, we went strolling around. I found an extremely nice T-shirt I longed to buy but I should not buy. I've more than enough resplendent shirts and I need not buy another one.

Well, in short, today was fun. I never had this kind of fun for months already, and I enjoyed it, albeit a bit tiring.

The Beginning of the Holiday

Holidays can never look much warming and inviting, particularly after weeks of unrelenting stress and unceasing examinations. While most of my friends were whooping with joy, poised to run around and play computer games, I find holidays a little bit boring.

The chief reason would be my resistance to play computer games. Addictive games are to be repelled as they bring no benefit.

Anyway, I'll begin my driving lesson on 1st of Jun and sit for driving test on 9 of Jun. Fast huh? If you're wondering how can a person achieve what it requires to drive a car in 9 days time, I'll answer you this: Malaysia Boleh!

Mid-Year Examination, Day 9

Today was the last day of the exam, and thanks to the thought most of us were already not in the mood of studying. First paper for the day: Physics paper 3. I struggled really hard trying to plough through all the experiments in the SUCCESS book, and I found them to be filled with piles of rubbish. All nonsense were added into the book and they made the experiments looked so difficult to write. The truth is: 95% of the procedure were rubbish and you didn't have to write them. They were verbose. Therefore, I resort to Physics Practical book. It had the shortest procedure and the best reference because the book's under Government. Anyway, the paper was shit. The first question was weird. The question seemed to imply the resistance was the manipulated variable, but then the diagram showed the other. Weird. Though they affect each other, the question was still weird. Question 2 was also weird - to me, at least. I couldn't find the volume. But Section B was easy. Thank God. Second paper for the day: Physics paper 1. Easy. Finally,the last paper for the day: Sivik, the most useless subject in the universe, loosely behind Pendidikan Moral. Well, the exam is now officially over, and everybody is free to schlep around! Yes!!

Mid-Year Examination, Day 8

First paper for the day: Biology paper 3. If you thought the paper was easy and the questions predictable, you were wrong. The question on Section A came out in First Monthly Test, but thank God it wasn't difficult as hell. The experiment part was the section everybody was terrified of. The question asked the relationship between humidity and rate of transpiration and we were required to write a report to validate our hypothesis. Many people chose to follow SUCCESS pedantically, while I chose to construct mine. Many people do not know writing a report need not follow the modal experiments. As long as the experiment works, you get your marks. It doesn't matter if you used patometer or whatever means you use. Second paper for the day: Chemistry paper 1. Negligible paper. Third paper for the day: Biology paper 1. I should have known the paper would be exceptionally difficult. CSB set the paper! The paper was indeed tough! So far, this was the most difficult biology objective paper we've done.

Mid-Year Examination, Day 8

Despite two days of rest, none of us were fully prepared for the upcoming papers. The reason was obvious: holidays are days where students find pleasure and games irresistable. Well, first paper for the day was Additional Mathematics paper 1. After paper 2 the entire form was shaken with shock and fear, and everybody was trembling with fear, pressing on the calculators like cows hurtling towards a red flag. But, luck was on our side: paper 1 was much easier than paper 2. Obtaining full mark wasn't impossible. Second paper for the day: Chemistry paper 3. The paper was fine. Many of my friends did not read the question carefully. Some wrote five different metal solution while some wrote only four metal pieces. After missing 'isomers' in paper 2, I've learnt to peruse the questions carefully. I did not if what I wrote as correct, but i've tried my best. Third paper for the day: Sejarah paper 2. The paper was fine too, 30% of students were transported away to a new era where only sleepness existed within 20 minutes. When the bell rang on 1.15pm, everybody came back and life went on.

Mid-Year Examination, Day 7

The assembly began the day. Thank goodness, the assembly was unusually short, but we were grateful. This is because the first paper of the day was Sejarah paper 2. Everybody was woebegone because Sejarah needs memorisation, and most of us were either poor at it or lazy to do it. Rumours were spreading like wildfire. Some said bab 2, 6 and 10 would come out in essay questions while some said otherwise. Scores of rumours arose but I blocked all of them out. I had no interest in knowing which questions would come out in subjective or essay. Anyway, the paper was fine. Second paper for the day: Mathematics paper 1. We all thought it would be easy, but it wasn't. It was quite challenging and it required extreme patience to solve some of the questions, and some of my friends really mucked up the paper. Overall, the paper was fine, though I've made one careless mistake.

Mid-Year Examination, Day 6

This was the day where our nightmare came true. Additional Mathematics paper 2 was the first paper for the day. Everybody was scared out of their wits, including me, of course, as the paper was infamous due to its difficulty. The paper, as expected, was awfully difficult. To tell the truth, the questions weren't jolly difficult, we just needed more time to solve them. Well, everybody did badly in the exam. Second paper for the day: Chemistry paper 2. The first three questions were exceedingly easy. You shouldn't have problem doing them. But every questions after that became harder. The essay was torturing us, and most of us had something in similar: we did not know what happened, but our eyes saw nothing that had relation to 'isomers'! So, many of us did not know the question existed, ergo, we did not draw any isomers for whatever chemical there is. In short, today's papers were torturing....
