♥ Friday

Today's a fine day, the weather's fine, the roads are pretty, the people are happy. I came to school with fellow fine Junjie and we stepped into fine Anderson Sec and walked happily side by side chit chatting about the latest sunflower that grew out of the ceiling fan. We were skipping excitedly over the new day ahead. Reaching the bottom of the GO stairs, Junjie said: "What a beautiful day." and bam! the curse is on.

Curse of the Friday.

A worm appeared.

Right. Who am I kidding? How can a day be fine when it's called FRIday?! Shall I start this post over again? No? Alright then, I'll start it over again.

Today's a horrible day. The weather's grim all day, no sun no rain (I like this weather, but heck, today's FRIDAY). The roads are fugly. Everything's just wrong.

I came to class, and I've got the stupid migraine stucked with me. People, I've had only THREE hours of sleep the previous night, or morning actually. I slept from 2.30am to 5.30am. I went to watch Pirates of the Carribean again with Chingwen and Weilong. And they bloody told me there's no school today, and I bloody believed them. What a moron right. I can't really blame anybody for being so dumb.

So, migraine aside, the day started off with Maths. And as expected, I failed AMaths. Overall score of 41. That's E8, so it's not that bad because at least it's not F9. HAHA. What consolation man. E8 isn't that bad, lah. Yah right.

Not that bad, huh. And then I failed English Paper 2 too. I got 18/25 for summary, my highest ever. But the curse of Friday made me fail Paper 2 because I got 5/25 for compre, which amounts to 23/50 overall, which made me fail. How. Saddening.

It's okay you know. I don't really mind failing. At least that means I'll do better next time, for sure. Haa. But then, it was recess. And then Spiky came over to tell me his O'Level Chinese results.

People, after tuitioning him like crazy, after giving him one week of intense tuition (I really mean intense okay, one school week, every night from 6+pm to 10+pm), he got B4. Which was what he wanted when he first started out to have tuition. But sadly, he thought he could get an A, and I thought he could get an A too.

But because of the curse of Friday, he got B4. :(

I took it in my stride though. Can't really blame him what. It's Friday.

And then I fail Chemistry too. Overall. Because I fail practical, 14/40. I've to get 25 and above if I wanna pass. So I failed. Another E8.

It's okay... really. Everything wasn't that bad, not yet anyway. I always believe things can get worse, and hell, it really did.

O'Level English Oral Exam. People, I have a new name. I'm Miss Screwdriver, or you can call me that idiot which screwed up so badly. I was SO dumb I really feel like killing myself. Really. I'm going tell you what I did, and yes, HAPPY LAUGHING.

I went into the school hall, and I was so nervous. So so so so so so so so so so so so so nervous. What's more, I seriously think one of my examiners look like Mrs Goh and the other looks like Mrs Muthu. Which is so hilarious each time I think about it. And I really felt like laughing into their faces.

So, anyway. This was what happened when it was my turn. M stands for me and IA stands for invigilator A and IB stands for invigilator B.

(M walks up to the tables)
M: Good afternoon Ma'am. (realises there are two ma'ams) Good afternoon Ma'am.
IA: You can just say Good afternoon Ma'ams.
M: Uh. Good afternoon Ma'ams.
IA: Verification slip?
M: (passes IA the ez link card)
IA: Entry proof dear.
M: (o.O passes IA entry proof and ez link card)
IB: You may sit down.
M: (pauses) May I sit down?

OH MY GOD. WHY WAS I SO DUMB.

IB: Yes, please. Sit down.
IA: Turn over the paper. You may start when you're ready.
M: (turns over the paper, pauses) May I start now?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

IA: Yes, please start.
M: ...

And I read the passage. It's okay because I managed to read the words. It's NOT okay because I screwed up. The two characters in the passage are "Anton" and "Menuel". I was so nervous that I went "Anson" and "Menu".

M: "Menu had been Anson's assistant for three years... oh my god ...since he got his Players Card..."

DON'T LAUGH YET. THE FUNNY PART ISN'T HERE.

Next up was Picture Discussion. The picture was a scene in the airport arrival hall. And there's this man in the middle of the picture, and he's a movie star or something, because there are reporters in the background etc etc.

It's not that bad actually. It's VERY bad. Because, I happen to recognise that movie person. He's a Bollywood star, and i saw him on Hindi shows before.

(Alright, you can start laughing, because well, you'll see.)

I got all so excited when I saw that man in the picture during the 10 minutes of preparation. There was another Hindi man beside him who was also a Hindi star. I remember them you see. So I went up to have my O LEVEL PICTURE DISCUSSION, and I talked about Hindi shows.

M: The man in the middle of the picture is a movie star, I believe, because I vaguely remember watching his show on Central, Vasantham Central actually.
IA and IB: o.O
M: Uh, yah. I remember him, he's a Bollywood star, if I'm not wrong. I remember watching his Hindi shows.
IA: You watch Hindi shows??
M: ... Yah.
IA and IB: (half smile)
IB: That's interesting.
M: ... And the man beside him (hesitates about saying he's also a Hindi star)... I believe he's the assistant...

And the rest of the conversation was crap because I don't know what else to say except that guy's a Bollywood star and he acts bloody well in those Hindi shows I love to watch. My mind keeps revolving around the shows he acted in alright. I don't know what to say. And so I'm bloody screwed, all because I watch Hindi shows. AHHHHHHH.

Then comes Conversation.

IA: Tell me about a time when you didn't feel confident.
M: (mumbles) When the man I watch on Central comes up for Picture Discussion.
IB: Sorry?
M: Uh... (went on and on about OBS. Irrelevant crap, but it can't get worse, so who cares?)

I just waved, GOODBYE 20% OF ENGLISH.

Tell me today's a good day and trust me I'll give you a slap in your pretty little face.
