A. maths went horribly, horribly wrong. There were lots of questions that I couldn't do... and those I could I do, were probably incorrect. To make matters worse, everything I studied for in S.S. pulled a disappearing act during the paper yesterday. So, after an hour of writing random words on my foolscap paper, I knew I could kiss a pass for Comb. Humans, goodbye.English did not go well. My compo was weird and I'm quite embarrassed with the number of lame jokes I threw in. It didn't help that I was in a constant state of panic during the paper. I actually started spewing a few Hokkien swear words in my head when Mr. Helmi announced that we had ten minutes left.Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to getting my results back next week. Partly because I sort of know the outcome already (not good), and I'm not looking forward to the look of disappointments my parent are going to give me when they hear about my results.On a happier note, I watched Hairspray yesterday. Everyone in it was really good, especially John Travolta, who, during the show, I actually believed was a woman. __Its really frustrating when people lie to me. Not only does it imply that they think I'm dumb enough to believe such dramatic, attention-seeking/ ego-pumping stories, it also means that I have to pretend to believe them.
When confronted, such people will suddenly get angry and defensive, and they start telling more lies to cover up the lies they've already told. Eventually, every story they come up with will contradict the other and this is when they proverbially shoot themselves in the foot.
They can also pull the "I'm so helpless" act. Only seasoned pros can pull this off sucessfully. Oh I lied because I'm insecure/totally at a loss at what to do/sad... I'll never do it again I promise. Boohoo.
There's no way to deal with such people, since they pull all sorts donkey tales out of their ass just to justify their lies and by the time its your turn for a rebuttal, you're already drowned in a steaming pile of shit.
The best thing to do is to humour them with little or no enthusiasm. Doing things like nodding your head, laughing insincerely (LOL, ROFL, LMAO) or saying things like "Mmm, yeahh.." , "Ohhhh" and my personal favourite "Orhh like that arhhh" will eventually turn them off. Too bad, I'm not patient enough.

HAHAHA! I can't believe my last post was almost two months ago! Anyway, I haven't had much time to blog.. for obvious reasons. This will probably be my last post till the O's are over. This post will just be mindless ramblings, so forgive me if I don't make sense: I AM SO @#$%^& stressed. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Mock A. Maths P1 was a killer. The questions were so weird and shit, I had no idea what I was writing half the time. My workings looked like they were part-tamil, part-nonsense. I should find an Indian friend that can translate it for me, Sanofar perhaps? Ah whatever, I'll still fail. What is up with that Differentiation graph anyWAY?? Why is so unknown and and weird and NOT understandable? Why must it contain so many marks? Why am I not a Maths expert????????????????!! Heheh. Okay rambling over. Sheesh that was nerdy. Hmm, the exams in about two months time. Glad that its going to be over soon, but still, I don't think I'll be fully prepared. Everytime I think about the end of O levels I hug my pillow with joy, but then reality sinks in. A. MATHS WAH LAU OK I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYHTING ANYMORE ABOUT THAT FRUSTRATING SUBJECT. GOSH. Anyway, 4e1- ers study hard!!! WE ARE COOL NERDS GEDDDITTTTT. Like emmmmm... Ugly Betty! Kbye! |
