This past week has been a very unpleasant one for me...
First, my grades for my mock examinations are not good. I failed my further maths paper and got 73/100 for my maths paper. While the latter might sound like an impressive grade, it is actually not because the maths paper was an *obscenely* easy paper and my maths teacher expected my class, a Further maths class, to score at least 85 and above for it. Most of my classmates scored more than 85 with only a handful that didn't. I am part of that handful. To make things worst, my friends from other classes that didn't take further maths managed to score 90++ for the paper. I am really very disappointed with my results. The most sickening part is I got friends that didn't revise for the paper and managed to get 85+. I revised for it and got this kind of retarded grades...
Secondly, my mom has been throwing her tantrum more often than usual and she seems to make it a habit now to keep nagging at me. I don't know why. Her unreasonable caprices have make my whole family drift further apart.. Its like we do not talk to each other as often as before anymore. My brother seems to be irritated by my mother my dad no longer bothers to argue with her. As for me, I have no choice but to comply with whatever she says~ I dunno if it is right to feel this way but I really can't wait to get into the army where I won't have to face all these crap everyday.
Thirdly, I have been feeling pretty restless and slack these few days. I don't why its like I can't bring myself to pay attention in class and the moment I reached home, I will be facing my computer. I haven't been studying and haven't been doing all the revision package worksheets my teacher has given us. My preliminary examinations will commence next Thursday. And I haven't revised for a single subject yet... Its totally not like me to be so slack and indifferent to examinations. In the past I would be mugging like shit but now? I dunno whats becoming of me... At this rate I might have trouble passing my A levels.
Went for my NS vocational assignment at the Commandos Training Institute at Pasir Ris yesterday. When I reached the meeting point where a bus will deliver us to the camp, I saw many people from other JCs, polys and ITEs. I thought I would be alone for the whole thing then suddenly I saw Guo Shiong my friend. Didn't expect him to be here as well but oh well, I could use his company hahaahaha... Anyways we were first given a psychological assessment which lasts about 1.5 hours. The questions they asked were quite funny cause they are all very easy and are those kind of Duh~ questions. So much so that I was wondering ''Hmm are all these questions really as easy as they seem to be?''. We were then brought the the field where we were tested on how many chin-ups, push-ups and sit-ups we could do. Then we went for the standing board jump as well. After which we were told to do some exercises that tested our agility, endurance, balance and all. I fared quite well for all the segments I guess. Next we were given half an hour's break and after that its time for the interviewing session. At first I thought that it would be like a room with three soldiers sitting at one end and then I would be sitting in the middle and they will just start shooting questions at me those kind of scenarios. Luckily, it was nothing of that sort haha. Its just a one to one interview in the canteen and we took turns to see the interviewers one by one. I waited for some 30 minutes before its my turn. My interviewer was somewhat casual as in he just asked me some questions and then tick tick tick on a sheet of paper. He seems to be rather serious when talking to me. I spents less than 5 minutes in the interview. After that, I went to sit at a corner to wait for Guo Shiong who was still being interviewed and I saw that my interviewer treats the other interviewee quite differently. He chatted with them and was like smiling all the way through and he spent well more than 5 minutes with them...
Sheez guess my chances of becoming a commando is quite low eh... I want to be one!
Went home after the interview. For no apparent reason, the train ride home seems to be faster and the train ride to pasir ris. Wierd.
