What a SHARK FIN day!

Alright. I've just got home after a SHARK FIN day... You might be thinking that I'm served with a bowl of costly shark fin soup but no, it's my way of swearing!

To prevent from sweating and wasting time and energy taking train, I took a cab down to Expo for my exam. It stated: Singapore Expo Hall 1 The Max Pavilion (next to hall 9). I asked the taxi uncle where is Max Pavilion he said he don't know. Neither do I. So FIN! I decided to stop at Hall 1.

Confidently, I took my own sweet time as I was early. I thought to myself: How come there's no crowd waiting to go into the hall? So i walked towards the end of Hall 1, saw a notice that read: EXAM IS AT THE MAX PAVILION, NOT AT HALL 1. SHARK! The worst thing is I WAS ALONE! Immediately, I called my friend Pam and asked. True enough, it's located at Hall 9. GREAT! It was 2.30pm. I was at Hall 1. I need to reach Hall 9 in the shortest time possible. I ran. FIN! Isn't that wonderful? It was so DAMN FAR!

When I finally reached THE MAX PAVILION, I was covered in sweat and the time was 2.40pm. My friend told me that we have to shade the OTAS form so have to reach earlier. I was panicking and PANTING. My allocated row was 25. I thought (AGAIN) we have to place our belonging according to our row numbers. Searching frantically for NUMBER 25, it was nowhere in sight. I decided to ask someone. "Sorry excuse me. We have to leave our belonging according to row munber or we can just place it anywhere?" She replied, "Should be anywhere." FIN! "Thanks!" I can still remember i put it on row 18 C4 chair. (The exam area is in front while there are empty chairs behind for us to put belongings. Just imagaine how big is Expo~!) After taking things that I needed, I dashed down to find my seat. SHARK FIN! I was sweating furiously. 2.50pm. It's not possible to cool down within 10 mins and I still need to shade on the form. I chewed on the minty sweet hoping that I would cool down. It didn't work. The invilgilator was announcing all the rules and regulations but I wasn't listening. I was waiting for him to say, "You may start now."

I target myself to complete within one hour so that I could check through my work. But I didn't have enough time to do so! Let me side-track a bit. My six sense is super accurate. It is proven in past MCQs exam. I use my six sense only when I didn't prepare for my exam. Since I've studied so hard this time round, I shall use my brain instead of six sense. I did not have sufficient time to work out the last question carefully. Thus I punched the calculator for an answer. TaDA~! I got it I THOUGHT. But my six sense tells me it's the other option. I checked with my friend after the exam and my SIX SENSE WAS RIGHT! SHARK man! I should have trusted my instinct... Anyway, that isn't the only question which I have doubt in.

Exam over. Everyone left the hall except me. You know why? I can't find my bag. It took me more than 5 mins looking for it. I was so afraid that the invilgilator would come and ask what I'm looking for because other students are taking a 3-hours paper. Mine was 2. So we must leave the Hall quietly. Luckily I found it. Imaging few hundreds of students and I was the last to leave. SIGH!

I called my classmate who had his exam in RJC. As usual, I like to check this and that, see if my answers are right or wrong. SIGH! SHARK FIN! Careless careless careless!!! His phone's reception is bad that's why I met him up to discuss. We wanted to meet at Aljunied since I was on green line. I would have reach there earlier than him. BUT I sms until I heard: Next station, Changi Airport. WELL DONE! My soul is completely not with me. Now he got to wait. We changed the location to Bugis since there's no place we can sit down and discuss in Aljunied. I wasted like 20 mins? Like an idiot... SHARK!

Bugis is so crowded. Always. We settled at 一品排骨饭located opposite of Shaw Tower. The food there is nice and economical! Must try! I love it a lot. It has moved several times and I just found it again recently. BUT it was tasteless when i was eating just now. The more we discussed, the worst it gets. I wanted to have high score, not just a passing grade. I'm aiming 90 (full marks)! SIGH! I guess it's gonna be way beyond that. I would be delighted if I could get 65 and above now. I'm feeling so lousy. HOPEFULLY miracles happened!

Anyway, I got to thank my JC's schoolmate Woei Lin! I missed out quite a lot while filming and I don't know what the lecturer is talking about every lesson I attended. Not the lecturer's fault. I just can't catch the balls myself. Surprisingly, after Woei Lin thought me, I can see the whole picture. I'm a genius teacher's student... HAHA! THANKS WOEI LIN! Without you, I might not be able to do a single question... Every single mark i scored belongs to you. :)

Not forgetting my JC's schoolmate cum ACCA's classmate Passage A. Thanks for taking notes for me when I was absent for classes. Subway to be resumed on Sunday. HAHA!

I just hope for the best.
