its rare these days tt i've a foul mood over my result aint it?
but that happen to me today. over my maths test.
i've scored a miserable 15.5/30. tt's a c5.
but what pissed me off wasnt my lousy score.. it was my carelessness in this paper.
i lost 8 marks out of 8 for the hypothesis testing qn. was wondering if the half blank notes were missing out some important components. but after looking through.. i generally got all my steps right, with the exception of some minor mistakes in my statements. juz becoz of 2 mistakes. 8 marks off.
one is mispressing on my calculator. i hit '80' instead of '60'. gone is 4 marks. and next, i forgot to put the '-' sign for the second part of the question. gone is another 4 marks. no method marks was given.
den i flipped to the pages in front. ALL my workings for ALL the questions were CORRECT. lost marks for squaring one side n missing out the square on the other side. lost marks for missing out ' r = ....... '. missing out another '-' sign. practically speaking.. i could haf scored at least 25 for this test. no kidding. that would be almost 80%, n not the 51% tt i got. the biggest thing is, i took 2hrs to study for this test. even did 1 or 2 tys qns for the topics. i dun remember putting in effort for any of my tests this yr. not even midyr where i only read thru n not practice anything. to haf put in effort n got this kind of score tt i dunno if i should deserve. my frustrations were vented on my poor stationary, my chair and my table, juz stopping short of tearing up the paper.
n had this guy who kinda piss me off slightly on the train. maybe my mood was foul enough.. n tt's y i was getting angry..
on the way home, i grabbed a copy of TNP (as usual) n read it on the MRT (usual business). the train was a lil crowded.. n while the rest of the classmates engage in their conversation i was busy reading into the newspaper.. i couldnt help but noticing tt there was this guy who was peering over my shoulder to read the newspaper. not tt i mind.. i'm fairly ok with it coz i DO does that occasionally, to read off the headlines. however as pple alighted at khatib station i found a space at the side of the door where i would always stand at. think i always haf a routine of doing things eh? so yep.. i went over to tt spot. to my annoynance that guy follow me suit, stood beside me n continue peering into my paper, this time he was in front n not behind me. freaking annoying isnt it? to be reading a newspaper n haf someone free-reading off u, kind of stalking my copy of newspaper. i felt like slamming the newspaper into him ( maybe still in my habit of throwing things n abusing things ard after my maths fury), but decided otherwise, coz it's wasting my 70 cents, n he will be earning tt 70 cents aint it? but i probably look up at him with a foul face. hmm seems effective. after 30 secs he moved back to his original position. good dog. he's working so aint he be able to afford tt 70 cents for a copy of the newpaper? i mean its extremely annoying to me.. like not showing respect to me... follow my newspaper around on the train. remembered tt when i was in sec2/3 there was this RI senior who walked up to me after i closed my copy of TNP n asked if i could lend him for awhile. i obliged n even willing to offered the copy to him. n he returned to me juz as i alight. that should be the kind of attitude man. at least ask. ok the scenario aint exactly the same.. but hell, i will give a glare to whoever peeping at my newspaper in the rude manner.
hmm gd news to end a bad day. Susilo won the german.. yay.. i'm still pretty much engrossed in badminton.. wonder why? haha.. but it's glad to see tt singapore has a good medal hope.. after the table tennis 4th seeded doubles team fell out of the competition.
wait tt's a bad ending rite.. ok gd news is tt timetable will be shorten nxt wk.. no more headaches after 3pm for me.. esp the regular headaches i've been getting week in week out on tues.
