long long due neopRint taken on shan's 21st biRthday dinneR... i think i look good in this neopRint.. paRticulaRly like the one with the gReen backgRound.. haha... shan is being spastic as usual... Roz Really ought to put on weight....... =x
i had a test today... but befoRe i go into details bout it, i wanna talk bout the pRepaRation woRk i've done...
i staRted studying foR the test about slightly moRe than a week eaRlieR.. (as opposed to staRting the night befoRe oR the moRning itself which is the usual tRend..) i even made deaR go to school on a satuRday with me to study togetheR...
*side tRack: pictuRes i took on a sat afteRnoon in centRal libRaRy... **edit: bloggeR not Responding, shall upload pictuRes anotheR time...**
these few days, i have been diligently staying behind afteR school and studying in the centRal libRaRy with deaR till night... have been going to the medical libRaRy to boRRow RBR books to Read.. (consideRing the fact that i have NEVER Read any textbook i bought oveR my uni life..) just yesteRday, the day befoRe the test, i stayed in school until 8pm till deaR kept nudging me to leave...
when i came home last night, i felt good.. didn't touch my notes at all... (if it's the usual case, i'll be panicking and staRt studying last night..) could still come online till quite late... went to sleep... and i didn't touch my notes at all till just few minutes befoRe the test to Recap a bit.. and i still felt pRetty confident and impRessed by how much i've studied and how much i could still RemembeR all those stuff... was pRetty happy and pRoud of myself foR Really woRking veRy haRd foR this fiRst CA in this sem...
He (not stating names foR obvious Reasons.. a chem majoR, life sciences minoR) sat beside me as usual.. i got to know him fRom one of the coRe modules' lab session in yeaR 1.. always had a good impRession of him... he has been sitting with me and kaiyan foR this module's lectuRes this sem... like i told deaR... cos of him sitting by my side asking me questions duRing lectuRes, i was pRetty stRessed and made myself listen to lectuRe so i wun appeaR idiotic to him.. He was the kind of peRson whom i'll classify as a chao muggeR... someone who plans to do honouRs and is able to RemembeR whateveR whicheveR lectuReR said in some lectuRes many sems ago... He seems like the peRfect smaRt and diligent guy....
till just now...
80 tRue/false questions with negative maRking... i was happy while doing the test... i could answeR most of the questions.. especially those dRy memoRising stuff... "time's up", the lectuReR announced... i stopped with only one question blank (which i puRposely left blank cos i dunno how to do and didn't want to lose anotheR maRk cos of negative maRking just in case i get it wRong..), tuRned to kaiyan and discussed the answeRs to some of the questions..
He tuRned aRound. Look at my answeR sheet. and staRted shading fRantically in his answeR sheet with eyes on my answeRs.
i was stunned.
stunned.
He looked at me and asked, "what's the answeRs foR question no. ...?" befoRe i could say anything, he tuRned back to my answeR sheet, and staRted copying my answeRs RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
stunned.
He must have copied at least 20 out of those 80 questions...
stunned.
we handed up the sheets... and the lectuReR flashed the answeRs... He tuRned and asked me fRom time to time whetheR i got a ceRtain question coRRect... then He said..
"我抄到都忘记是抄谁的了。。。 还好我抄你的, 不然就错很多了。。。"
...........
we did a little mental calculation... out of the 80 questions, i got 5 wRong and 1 undone, He got 3 wRong.
i felt veRy unjustified............ it was the fiRst time eveR i actually study so haRd foR a test... i Really did mug a lot foR it.... and He? took advantage of it... and got higheR maRks than me by copying answeRs fRom me foR those dRy memoRising questions which he did not memoRise... it's so unfaiR!!!!!!!!! what did i study so haRd foR???!!!
when yan and i left foR next lec, i told heR and she expRessed shock like me....
it was totally unexpected!! i felt soRe and disappointed....
haiz...
i will neveR see him in the same light again...
it Really botheRed me a lot.. i even went to engine afteR class foR 10 minutes JUST to complain to deaR bout it befoRe i went foR tuition... maybe i wun be so affected if it was someone else... it had to be HIM... someone whom i take as a Role model in academic studies... totally spoilt my image of HIM...
on a totally iRRelevant note, deaR and i went sentosa the otheR day!! =p

okok... it's a bo liao photo... just wanna say, i have finally leaRnt to manage my time betteR... =p study + play + tuition... i'm suRe i can cope... =)
going shopping with mom on satuRday!!! =) time to go jogging again... (if i actually have that deteRmination...)
Chill out session with the gang on sunday... =)
