Since I have some free time now, might as well blog a bit. Shall not blog too much about the tests so far...might jinx it haha. Shall talk a bit about BC though...cause it's quite funny. I finished the paper around 3.45 and after checking it, it's already over .50 so I can't hand it up and leave. At first around 10 minutes I thought Maggie finish so fast, stood up and leave. Actually she was going to the toilet haha. I was only in qns 2 lor. So after finishing the paper, nothing to do, so I just took out the textbook and read some of those illustrative examples. Quite funny thing about the baseball, they explained how they used the parabola to estimate the distance of how far the baseball went but I still can't get it. All the while I was reading these texts, people around me were fervently flipping through their notes in the hopes of finding a similar question so they can copy the method to solve it or looking for the formulas. Have to thank Henry for this though, he forced me to remember the formulas. Not that hard to remember them too, so...repetitive. Thanks Henry, you're a nice person, just not as nice as me. It's a compliment though.
So if don't talk about test, talk about daily life lor. Before the BC test, I went to the gym to exercise a bit. There may be tests going on, but one should not neglect their physical health. I swear there is a conspiracy against me. The first time I went to the Tamp gym with uncle, I tried the treadmill for the first time also. I could only do up to a speed of 7.5 then. And almost all the guys around me were running at like 9-11. I felt so...useless. So I finally managed to run at 10 now. And people around me are running at 11-13. Bloody hell. I bet next time when I reached 13, people are either running at 15 or they are running at an incline of 10 -.-
I also used to think that my English improved a lot during secondary 2 because that was when I read Harry Potter. Obviously it's must better than reading small books like 'Jill went up the hill to fetch water' or 'Singapore Ghost Stories' (I walked up to the temple ah, got this berrrrry big ghost, sibei scary sia!!!). Xinyuan is reading more 'chim' stuff about life values and such. Those type of books very difficult to read, sure will fall asleep. Very slow moving...not action packed. But now I realised, my English actually improved because I watched WWE! Or more specifically, I watched Chris Jericho! It's like what the commentator said, he must have received a dictionary for his birthdays. Lol, almost everytime he speaks, I learn a new word. Words I have learnt so far from him:
Sycophant,
Ostracised,
Albatross,
Gelatinous,
Recalcitrant,
...and many more.
But I dunno how to use those words though...maybe at the end of the tests, I could include a small note about the test...kinda like for FOT last question about the dividends.
'The exclusion of whether the dividend was franked or one-tier is a conspiracy orchestrated and perpetrated by the gelatinous, petulant, recalcitrant, sycophonic teachers who vilified and ostracised me.'
'The new NBA champs will be where the Miz come from...Cleaveland Ohiooooo. Cause Lebron James is like The Miz...AWESOME! While Cena is just some over-rated hype...kinda like Kobe Bryant.' - The Miz
