I am a Cat!.. Hear me Me0w!!….

Damn….

The examination fever finally got to me……

The inspiration sapped away from my once-ingenious mind……

I have nothing else to write but this……

A normal day in school…..

And my first exam in three long years…….

A mind-numbing experience……

*********************************************************************

Wed 15 Nov 2006

.

8.10am: Woke up feeling slightly nauseous, I dragged myself to the toilet and did some basic body maintenance…….

.

8.25am: Alvin and Daryl crashed my place. We crapped a bit over some honey stars and famous amos. I love having junk food for breakfast……

.

8.35am: We were taking a nice stroll down to the SRC when I was totally astounded by what I saw. It was a repeat of the Hello Kitty Craze! Actually it was more like the Great Singapore Sale. Car drivers searched desperately for empty parking lots, and when they found none, created their own parking spaces with imaginary lines and boundaries. I have never in my life, seen the SRC so overcrowded before. A free vip membership to California Fitness would not have attracted as many people as the SRC would. It was no longer an exclusive haven for the body beautiful and the perfectly tanned. The ban has been lifted!! Everyone was finally equal for a change. Hand in hand, jocks and geeks alike stormed the sports halls with stationeries, textbooks, notes and jackets. Invigilators were standing by, resembling riot control personnel armed with rolled-up seating plans and walkie talkies. I looked at the time and cursed to myself for reaching this accursed place so early. It would have taken a mere two minutes for me to crawl from my room to the SRC…….

.

8.40am: Met up with Songyu and KianYip. We explored deeper into the unfamiliar labyrinth. Wherever there was a door, there was a mob. Looking at the crowd surrounding the entrances to the halls, I wonder how long they have been standing there for. They must have set up camp and slept here the night before, I figure. And the female toilet! Wow! This is the only room in the whole wide world which never ceases to astound me. There is always this super long bee line stretching from one end of the corridor to another. And the queue continues deep into the female toilet, right into the unknown……

What in the world was going on in there?? A slumber party? Could it be a beauty pageant? Maybe a free samples giveaway?….

The Men don’t get it.

Intriguing indeed………

.

8.43am: Walked out of the male toilet and the same bunch of females standing in line have not moved an inch. We moved past them, amidst the wide-eyed stares of dismay and a slight hint of admiration. For once, the Singaporean male can hold his head up high against his female counterparts and walk with the wind behind him. All Singaporeans are equal once again!! What is next? The abolishment of The Women’s Charter? Sad to say, no….. Under the judicial laws which govern Singapore, Women are still more equal than Men…. Poor us……

Anyway, maybe it would help shorten the queue if the mirrors or any kind of reflective surfaces were removed from the female toilet during examination periods…..

Just a kind suggestion with genuine concern for the truly urgent…….

.

9.00am: I had two and a half hours to complete my Information Technology paper.

.

10.00am: I am done……

.

10.05am: Started using correction fluid to blank out all the unsightly cancellations. Maybe I would get extra credit for being neat….

.

10.15am: Staring at my fingers and shoes……

.

10.25am: Looking around the exam hall. Everyone’s heads were still down, their pens vigorously tearing through the answer scripts………

.

10.40am: The girl seated in front of me looked quite cute from her back view. Long, highlighted hair. Brown jacket. Nicely tanned and chiseled shoulders. Wild thoughts and fantasies ran amok in my mind…..

.

11.00am: The ah tiong beside me requested for more paper. Huh??? What in the world is going on?! More paper?!! Come on, I only used six pages of the booklet, and there has got to be at least thirty pages in total!!! What are you, a paper shredder?? You must be out of your mind! You are not even human!…..

Tree killer….

*Grrrrrr.…….*

.

11.10am: Suddenly, something obvious hit me like a gush of cold wind. And that was definitely not from the ice machine the people here call air-conditioning. Wait a minute….. I can leave early!! Why did I not think of this in the first place?! Damn it…….

.

11.15am: Packed up and ready to go. As I stood up and prepared to depart from this miserable excuse for an exam hall, a voice boomed from the speakers. “You have fifteen more minutes. You can no longer leave the examination hall until the time is up.”…….

.

11.25am: Gastric pains ripped through my stomach. Torture scenes from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre flashed through my brain as I counted down the seconds in agony…….

.

11.30am: All chairs screeched together in perfect unison. It’s over! Human stampede!!!!

.

Oh man….

This is so freaking boring…..

I shall stop blogging for now…..

Until something or someone inspires me to write anything that is mildly entertaining and interesting……
