Think Pink.
I think today was a good examination day as compared to others.
Chinese isn’t exactly my forte, although I felt that it was surprisingly manageable.
Believe me; I’m still reeling from the fact that I actually am quite confident in MT paper.
But you never know with O levels…
I really disliked my sitting position today.
Surrounding me were all PRC scholars.
1 was in front of me and 2 were on either side of my seat.
The PRC scholar on my right had this pen that had a squeaky, scratchy-like sound when he wrote his answers on the script. And judging by the furious screeching from his pen, I could tell that he was writing at breakneck speed. That of course, stressed the hell outta me because he had completed all his comprehension passages with 30 minutes to spare for summary.
But, I guess I actually have to thank him for being quick because I was coerced to write even faster for my answers. Especially the “copy-and-paste” answers you know. That being said, I actually completed the paper 2 with 2 minutes to spare. Gosh.
Another thing that got on my nerves was the invigilator that was in charge of my row. Let’s call her Little Miss Pink (LMP).
LMP looked tired and weary, probably from having to wake up early and come to our school. Her face seemed to be stuck in a “Don’t mess with me, get out of my way, idiot” expression. Ok totally understandable.
But LMP, you needn’t have to shove the exam booklet in my face and cause it to almost slip off the table if not for me catching it. Take your time, for goodness sake; you’re not in some sort of competition with the other invigilators right?
Also I actually bothered to hold up my answer script for you to collect more conveniently but you didn’t have to snatch it from me… I mean seriously, chill.
Ugh.
So I have come to that conclusion that LMP was plagued with the following issues:
1. It’s the holidays and she still has to do invigilation.
2. She’s depressed.
3. She’s feeling bitchy.
4. She feels small in an all-boys school. Maybe she just wasn’t used to being in one. 5. I think I felt a feministic vibe from her. *shudders*
6. She’s in desperate need of more pink to brighten her life.
7. Finally, it’s that time of the month, which practically sums up everything.
I say, cheer up, Miss Pink!
Alright, enough of small talk.
I just want to thank my Chinese tutor who has dedicated two years of her life to teach and help me improve my Chinese to the best of her ability. It was definitely a great experience to be under your tutelage. Hopefully, I have done my best to produce the best results.
My tuition group had our last Chinese lesson with her yesterday. She wished us all the best and promised to check up on us in the coming days. In the end, it ended on a cheery, laugh out loud note.
But somehow I felt that she was masking her emotions in her heart as she closed the gate when we had all exited her home. Her eyes were… full, quite indescribable actually. It felt to me that she was playing out the memories in her mind…
Whatever the case, thank you once again for going through one assessment book after another and being ever so understanding. I think all of us appreciate that.
For now, I will do my best for Physics just for my form teacher who has put her trust and belief in me that I will be able to excel.
My mum told me to not think about all my subjects and regrets that are harbouring in my heart.
Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
I look forward to it.
Because I really do need it.
Hail Mary.
