Communicative English Exam
Posted on April 29, 2007
So last Tuesday (24th April 2007) was my Communicative English paper. And it’s not suppose to be one of my subjects this semester actually. But this paper is a REPEAT paper. Yea, you got that right!! I’m a FAILURE in the English language T______T!!! Nah, I’m just taking you for a ride~ actually, I wasn’t able to take the exam last semester. And it was because I saw the date wrongly. The date I assumed was correct was actually the wrong one and it’s AFTER the real exam. So I couldn’t have taken the exam at all…
So anyways, back to the exam day, the exam was to start at 9am sharp and I HAD to wake up as 7am to prepare if I didn’t want to be late. So I told my maid to wake me up at that time so that I would be able to wake up in time for the exam if something were to happen to my hand phone cum alarm clock. But the next day, apparently my maid forgot about having to wake me up until I was out the door of my house. But no, I didn’t get up at 7am in the morning. At that time I was still very much asleep lol and only woke up around 8.15am.
So rush I did. I woke up, did my business, bath, brushed teeth, combed my overly short hair, packed my stationaries, filled up my water bottle, made sure I had my exam slip and my ID with me and THEN I was out the door sprinting towards my University. Going there was the easy part actually because my house is on a hill so going downhill towards University was easy. And I arrived there JUST in the nick of time.
And when I went into the exam hall to take the exam, unsure of where a REPEAT student like should be sitting, I asked the invigilator as to where am I, a REPEAT student, suppose to sit. She looked at me blankly and told me to sit anywhere. And when I told her again that I was a REPEAT student, bleh, lemme just make this into a conversation format so you can better comprehend the situation.
Me : “Hi, I’m repeating this subject…where am I suppose to sit?”
Invigilator #1 : “Sit anywhere.”
Me : -Pauses- “I thought repeat students have a specific place they have to sit in?”
Invigilator #1 : -Looks fed up- “What course are you in?”
Me : “Psychology”
Invigilator #1 : -Gestures to the left hand side of the exam hall- “Then sit anywhere at this side of the room.” -Moves away and ignores me-
Me : -Looks confused and quirks an eyebrow- “Oooookay?” -Takes a seat at table 13-
Half hour into the exam, lo and behold, another invigilator came up to me and “REQUESTED” that I moved to the CORRECT place that I’m supposed to sit in.
Invigilator #2 : “Are you repeating this exam?”
Me : “Yea.”
Invigilator #2 : “Then you’re not suppose to sit here. You’re suppose to be at seat 115.”
Me : “But that lady over there…” -Points- “…told me I can sit anywhere.”
Invigilator #2 : -Looks puzzled- “Well, you can’t. Move your things and follow me.”
Me : -Gives the eyebrow- “Erm ooookay…” -Moves-
Talk about clueless invigilators -rolls eyes- and then, the worst thing about seat 115 is that some girl apparently have BAD body odor!!! Why did I say a “girl“? Well, cause everyone surrounding me were GIRLS!!! And the stench of the armpit odor is OVERWHELMING!!! OMG!! I couldn’t even concentrate on what I wrote thanks to the stench. I bet she has either NO FRIENDS or people were too polite to tell it to her face. If it were me, I’d have piled upon her fragrant deodorants for her birthdays 
I know, I’m bad and I suck, LIVE WITH IT!!
And then, the exams were over…the invigilators then starts collecting answer sheets and passing it to the current head invigilator for this exam and tallied the amount. This whole process took about half an hour to be done with. And then we were allowed to leave. Relieved, I went to my bag outside the hall, stuffed my stationaries and question paper inside and dashed home.
On the way home, I saw a dead frog lying on the road. “Fascinating!!!” I thought and stopped to stare at the glorious sight of death. The frog was lying on it’s back, you can see it’s insides showing like someone cut it open and decided not to continue with the process…it’s a well preserved dead frog if I may say so myself. Non of it’s guts were spewed all over the road and it was by the side of the junction so it wasn’t and couldn’t be squashed by passing cars.

A close up of the dead frog on the road. Gross isn’t it? Yet so well done…
However, while admiring the beauty of death, a bunch of girls, gossiping, came walking by, and due to their ignorance, 2 out of four of them trampled onto the dead frog and didn’t even bother looking down!! I wonder at the thickness of the soles of their shoes…one was even wearing heels o.o” truly, I am totally amazed as to how they were unable to feel it being squashed under their feet!!!
But before they even trampled on it, they were looking at me weirdly like I was a freak of nature. I can’t really blame them, who goes around admiring dead frogs and taking pictures of it, hmm? Why, me of course 
and besides, death is a natural thing, if there was no death, the Earth would have fell off the solar system due to massive overweight now, wouldn’t it? Besides, I’m EMBRACING death for it’s better to EMBRACE it than to SHUN it.
After taking pictures and admiring enough, I walked up the hill back to my house and just dived into bed to sleep…ahhh~ heaven~ and THAT, was how I ended my first day of exams. More on my exams to come soon~
