SS paper today.

or, as i like to call it, PROPAGANDA.

its a paper where we write about nice things that the singapore government has done, amongst others.

so yeah, screwed up subject. and guess what? we got a screwed up paper to go with it!

"welcome to cambridge exams syndicate! today's special: screwed-up-subject-and-exam-paper set! set a comes with 2 answer booklets, set b comes with a free rope to hang yourself with. set c is double the price, but it has both the added answer booklet AND the rope! its an offer not to be missed!"

SBQ: de-contextualised. in other words, it was based on some event that was not mentioned in the textbook. as a result, i didnt know what the questions were asking for, nor did i know if i had gone out of point.

10 bucks says i did.

SEQ: 3 choices, with switzerland being the simplest of the 3. and me being me, i drew a complete blank on the topic.

sad, isnt it?

so i did the qn on diplomacy and deterrence. lots of people tell me, dumb choice. but my other option was japan and industries. i know nuts about that.

so my forecast for the propaganda paper: best case scenario B4

and in other, non-exam related news..

i swear my parents want me to burn out.

they've done a number of things recently..

1) take the xbox

2) take my handphone

3) give the xbox back

4) take the xbox again

5) give it back again

6) keep the games

its like, make up ur mind!! if they'd stuck to the first 2, i would have gotten over it. but they keep taking and giving and taking again. every time they take it he sends a messege. it says that they cant trust me to do the right thing, they cant trust me to be responsible enough to think for myself, to know my priorities. alright, i admit that with the phone i havent been exactly perfect, always going over the limit. but i have cut down, and i keep trying to cut down. and the xbox. heaven knows that i've never let games get the better of me when it comes to prioritising. sure, i go for 4, 5, 6 hour LAN sessions, but that's all after the exams. before the exams i work. the only comp i play is the maximum of 4 hours i get each weekend. on occasions, i play maybe 1 hour on a weekday to keep me going. and they take my xbox. cos they think i cant focus on my work. today i come back from ss paper tired and frustrated, looking forward to an hour or so of blasting planes apart and what do i get? i cant find the game anywhere. after i still had it yesterday. they tell me that they know i can study, they know i can prioritise, but what does taking the game tell me?? if not for eud and the FoS gang, i would have burnt out a long time ago. they dont know that. they dont bother to know.
