Semester 2.1 mid-sem test week...

My 200th posts!!! Yeah!!! Another good news was that it was the end of exams. So my 200th post will be dedicated to the week of exams.

Business Finance test:
Went to Compass Point to meet Luck Koon at 10am. We proceeded to Burger King and studied our Business Finance. Last minute revision. Lol. Joseph came down and met us a few minutes later. We reviewed tutorials, lecture notes, past year papers etc.

After that, had lunch at Burger King. The manager herself was also unsure whether there is students meal at 10.50am. Lol. Ordered and waited a while. While eating halfway, I went to the store beside to fix my broken glasses. Old glasses fixed. Head down to the bus stop after that. Went to school.

The test itself was ok. But made mistakes and I think they are major ones. Sian. Last question asked us find Net working capital but I blur blur gave average working capital. What was I thinking? 2nd question also. Damn that was the most stupidest mistake I never expect I will make… Well… An “A” is still possible if the marking scheme is not very strict. If it is strict, GG…

As for law, hope I can finish memorising tonight…

Legal Aspects of Business test:
Met up Joseph earlier than usual, at 7.15am. Reached school at 8am. Although we are early, there were some who were earlier. Met Huiqi at Business entrance, went up to 3rd floor together with Joseph and Huiqi. Studied Law there.

Law test was surprising. No one expected it. Whats more, MCQ took out ¾ of the marks. Wow. People were leaving the room when the time to leave has begun. I finished the paper within 15 minutes. Shaded the MCQ questions at a rate of 2 minutes per question. Also wrote the explanations and theory of MCQ on the paper and it was flooded with my writings.

Most of the people left quite early. I was the last person of the row to leave and the last 4th person to leave. Left less than 20% of the people there. Mabel left at the same time as me. Cannot get more than 3 MCQ wrong if not I can kiss goodbye to an”A”.

Went to Compass Point, found Dalilah at Starbucks and Joseph and I went home after that. I met them both and Jiaying at around 2pm. Went to Jiaying’s house. Studied there and Jiaying was so obsessed with the Korean guy in the same room as us.

At around 5.30pm, they wanted to play basketball. Went up to Jiaying’s house get the ball, watched Mr Bean for a while and then went down. Court was full so we didn’t play. Chatted and played a little and went home.

The good thing about Jiaying’s house is that I can take all the 6 buses at the bus stop. Took 119 to Compass Point and went home after that.

Cost & Management Accounting 1 test:
Shall just skip to the test itself. My seat was the first row, last seat, which meant that it was at the very corner of the classroom. Advantage? NO!!! You shall see why in a moment. CMA test was tedious. 1 hour was almost not enough.

Why did I say sitting at the corner was not a good thing? That was because at around 9.54am, I ran out of paper. Raised my hand. Invigilator never saw. In fact, she walked further away to the other side. She turned back. I waved my hand. She still never saw me. She walked even further away. I was waving almost like mad. Luckily, corner seat so no one (except Chester who was beside me) saw what I was doing (the only advantage). Finally, after 2 minutes, she saw me. Gave me some papers and the time was 9.56am. 4 more minutes. Chiong-ed 3d) and 3e) and managed to finish. Used 7 pieces of paper.

Paper was of quite some standard. Hope all is fine.

Partnership & Company Accounts test:
Did lots of practices for this topic. Test was quite ok. Answers are similar to some so I hope everything is ok. During the exam itself, I ran out of paper (AGAIN!!!). Raised my hand. Was seated at the back of the 2nd row this time (1 seat away from the previous day). Was spotted almost immediately. Invigilator went to Fiona’s booklet (I think it was an extra booklet) and tore out 2 pages for me. Used 8 pieces of paper. A record for my mid-sem test.

Went home, memorized CAS like a crazy guy.

Computerized Accounting System test:
Woke up at 5am today to complete my revision but it never happened. Never studies CBIS. Luckily, there was not even 1 single question on it.

Went into the test and my mind suddenly went blank. Wrote down key words that I remembered of to the questions and tried to phrase and some turned out to be quite funny. Sian but hope that I will not die that terribly. During the test, once the clock tick-ed 9.30am, people after people left. I guess a large percentage of them gave up as it is almost impossible to complete within half an hour unless you are expert in the knowledge of the subject.

After papers were collected, all left. Luck Koon, Joseph and I were the last 3 in the room and the invigilator, Mr Michael Tan asked us how the paper was. Luck Koon said: I have been writing non-stop for the past 1 hour and I don’t even know a single thing I wrote. Mr Tan and him burst out laughing loudly.

After that, Joseph and I rushed down to Seagate. Took 23, switched to 168 then switched to 72. Whole journey took 1 hour. Reached at 11.05. Father came down to fetched us and we started working.

Work ended at 9pm. Went home feeling very tired but its 12.45am now and I am not asleep. Lol.

This concluded my 200th post.
