Chinese Is Over, O'levels Aren't

YAY!!! Chinese O's are finally over!! At least I think so...I'm still wondering if we were going to have Chinese in prelim 3. Some say its pointless since the Chinese o'levels are over..but otherssay that there's still prelim 3 for chinese so that chinese can be used to appeal to your JC thorugh your prelims...so yea...please comment if there should be Chinese exam even if the chinese o'levels are offically over(except maybe for those who intends to retake).
okay...b4 that ANSWER to previous challenge:
some drama there...lol. Wasn't that hard right? try this one:
Song Rec 12.mp3 -
Not simple right? but for synth rock lovers, this song is probably very familiar, once again the instructions:
  1. Listen
  2. Guess the Song name and Artist
  3. Find out the answer on my next Posts
Enjoy!
lol...now that SYF is over, Chinese O'levels are over, what's left..the rest of the subjects in English..sigh things have not been too good these few days. have been bombarded with Maths and humanities homework, plus some english and physics homework to add up to that pile of papers, so far, i dun rmb doing any of my tuition hw yet...lol...becuz I probably dun have the time to..
But life in school is not that stressful after all. there still some sense of humour in the air like how we usually argue with the teacher to compromise hw deadlines.
The following piece of artwork is also a another example why life in school isn't that bad:

You told us to put our chairs on the table,

but you didn't specify how you wanted it to be placed.

- An artwork by Luke Nicholas Lim Wei Ren

okay, here's some background information in case some of you don't get the joke. well, like every routine in the classroom duty roster, we had to sweep the floor, clear our the bin, clean the board and arrange the tables and chair neatly. However, the slight difference is that we were also assigned to put the chairs on the table as part of the arrangement of tables and chairs so that it would be easier for people on duty to sweep the floor since the chairs does not get into the way unlike pushing them between the legs of the table.
Well, since we were pretty much bored of putting it upright and straight on the table, why not change the old routine a little? So, Luke and a few of his friends came up with this idea of placing the chair in such a manner as shown above by sloting its legs into the compartment underneath the tabletop. After all, it does not really get in the way of sweeping the floor, and even if it does, nobody would bother to sweep the floor anyway.
Well, so far we did not fail the classroom cleaniless check this week, nor were we punished because of this. It's probably because the teachers could appreciate our form of art in school just by using simply a chair and a table in a classroom setting. So during this period, let us all learn the proper way the distress perhaps through doing some artwork like Luke, or even crack some jokes to liven the spirit in school. Sometimes even arguments with the teacher, brings some ways of humour in our daily lives in school too.
So, in the meantime, do enjoy the artwork.

O'level Chinese Papers And Oral Over..Now to Listen in Chinese...

lol....i promised to blog again after the Chinese O's but I guess it is not over yet...today, i just took my Chinese oral today so I'm left with the Chinese Listening Comprehension which I'm certain that i will own it..unless I am absent of course...
anyway, back to the Song Rec Test, for those who are still cracking your head over the name of this song...let me enlighten you...
THE MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED by THE SCRIPT and so, here the next challenge:
Song Rec Test 11.mp3 -
well, this is too easy for rock listeners...but I understand that there are a few who sill didn't know this song...so please help them by answering this song rec test correctly..the song name and artists...so:
  1. Listen
  2. Guess the Song name and Artist
  3. Find out the answer on my next Posts
okay, back to the chinese o'levels...according to my entry prove I only have:
Create your countdown widget and more at Blixy.com!
so it won't be long b4 i totally neglect chinese for the rest of the year as the remaining subjects I'm taking for O'levels are all in Englilsh...hopefully I won't neglect chinese for the rest of my life...
anyway, today's oral examination was a tense one...indeed very tense...we came in early at 12.30pm way before our oral starts at 2.15pm for a briefing of what to do and what not to do during the examinations...yawn..the same thing again and again...Greet, Smile, and Thank your examiners...maintain silence in the hall...and blahblah show your IC and entry prove what not....
so there I was sitting with my classmates and other schoolmates in the neighbouring class...our bags have been placed at the side of the hall and all I had was two oral revesion notes (which weren't exactly very helpful to me) and my IC and entry prove(though I later realised that an entryprove was not required)..
We have been told not to leave the hall b4 3pm to ensure none of us will blurt the topics covered in the oral conversation to latecomers...so candidates who arrive after 3 pm will not get to take the oral examinations...so, I'm not revealing what the topics are at least untill the Chinese Oral examinations end...
Anyway, this is a grave sin I guess that I did in this Oral examinations...i seriously pray hard no SEAB staffs are reading this...
Image this...I was in a quiet school hall..the slightly smaller than the size of size of three volleyball courts and I happen the be seating where the examiners are across the other end of the hall..and thorugh the slience, I overheard the coverstion question in short abrupt phrases....
Immediately I knew the subject for the conversation...so I kinda panicked since I was rather unfamiliar with this topic...so I actually had some last minuete preperations before the oral examinations :P. So i guess having a good ear sometimes do have their advantage..
So yah, to SEAB, I apologise for the little cheat code I used...but to others, if you can maintain slience in the hall and have good ears...you might be able to get clues from the oral examination...so let this be one of the good reasons why you should maintain slience in the examination hall... so that's all, take it or leave it is up to you guys then...
