Ismail looks at...

Chem. Shit, still got a whole book.
A Maths. Hell no. damn. Everything learnt before last month has been forgotten >< Biology. Crap, extreme text digestion required.
Geography. Now where were those diagrams...
Social Studies. Looks promising, the book is thin.
E Maths. Circles Circles Circles. Never Ends.
Literature. I still haven finished the book. And having rushed lessons through half the book aint helping.
MT. Huh, got mother tongue? x)
English. You can't be serious...

8 delightful subjects. ._.
Half require extreme mugging.
The clock is ticking.
My holidays depends on my marks.
What kind of shitty deal is that.

And My A Maths homework is still yet to be done.
P.S. My CME fail. Wow.

MY ENG ORAL WAS MARVELLOUS.
I sat down, crossed fingers and talked the whole way.
Tester - "Okay, please read aloud."
*Ismail reads aloud*
Tester - "Ermm... Can you read a little softer"
Ismail - "Ohh, Read aloud but not too loud. Sure =D"

Picture Convo was like a home ec room. Except there were several adults cooking.

At one point in time for the picture convo.
Ismail - "And the main character in the picture, the woman with the row of black buttons who i presume to be the main chef. *points at the chef*. Yeah, see that one over there. That one. I think she... "

At another point in time for the Picture Convo.
Ismail - "Well, there are... the old people. and there are... the younger people. From all walks of life, all cooking together."

At another point in time.
Ismail - "I believe this room is a multi-purpose room. *points to the Visualiser in the corner of the room* Look, there's even some technology present to help with the other functions. And lots of tables too.*

Its been ages since I did pic conv. What the hell happened xD

Topic Conversation.
Tester - If you were to take a job in the vacation. What job would you like to take up?
Ismail - Considering my qualifications arr... less the 0 lvls. I think I'll try to be a waiter lahh. You see ar, like, I mean, this job would be able to... bla bla bla.

*continues informal language through half the conv. LOL.
Irony - I still got A1 xD

Reminds me of my Malay oral a little bit too..

Ismail - saya rasa masyarakat ini ada banyak.... apa makna facilities?...
(I believe that society has many... what's facilities in malay?)
Tester - Kesenangan...
Ismail. AH! YES. kesenangan... blah blah blah.

Wow. asking the tester for a translation. Awesome eh xD

Further results.
A Maths test - A1
Chem and SS. Fail.

SS was awesome too.

Did 1b end up do wrong source.
Cancelled whole thing. Redo.
Look at clock, left five minutes.
Looks at question.
"How far does the author show that... bla bla bla"
*Looks at clock again. 3min*
*Answers Qn 2 - Very Far. <--- that's a full stop. *sleeps* 9/25.

You know, the thing about teachers now.
At some point, they elevate their subject above all others.
For in their view, theirs matters.
Esp Maths.
They are oblivious that we take 8 subjects.
With a homework the height of my ankle. (Not in books, seriously in questions ._.)
Things start to seem...
Robotically in motion.

Students of Singapore -
90% Complain.
1% Saying Sian.
1% staring at Chinese scholars in amazement.
1% Sleeping.
1% Slacking.
1% not knowing what teachers rant about.
1% Forgetting everything.
1% Wondering why their life is so.
1% Staring at homework.
1% Realising how close EOYs are.
0.5% Promising themselves to work. Or give up. Either one.
0.4% Telling the guy next to you, Jia you.
0.1% Work.

Don't crap. Athletes coming from the youth of Singapore?
You must be joking. Singapore Sports School? Wow.
Geniuses cum World-Class Athletes.
That's a realistic mix for every Singaporean.
With our education system. That's just well in sight man. Kudos.
A great possibilty. A vision for Singapore.
I doubt sleep was factored. So yeah, take sleep out of the equation,
you have a well balanced formula right there. :]

-Continues A Maths.

P.S. Parents are actually a main pressure factor in most IMO.
*looks at the P6 girl struggling away for PSLE.*
Wow. Talk about an awesome childhood.
The new Uniquely Singapore National Identity
-Students of all colors mugging together.
