S.Koreans' idea of an exam

wah piang eh. (in a hokkien mood btw)
everyone left the exam hall with "what the hell??", "i'm about to puke","she got time to leave so early ar?!". okay, actually i was so engaged in my own bitching i didn't really hear anything. but i figure (console) that it kinda went like that everywhere.
thankfully i didn't just give up and leave three questions (out of five) blank. forced some incoherent crap out. my english was SO bad in the exam, that i'd write and cringe at the bad grammar/vocabulary.
PLUS, i totally understand how those inmates felt. for those not in the know, some prisoners in the west were subjected to days of non-stop, repetitive Christina Aguilera's songs, because the police wanted to force some info out of them. don't know if they succeeded, but i truly empathise with them. i guess some idiot forgot to switch off his/her mobile, and it kept ringing during the examination!
like, i'll be squelching all the juices in my brain trying to think up ONE interactive product (clever me, i should have seen this question coming. REALLY. i mean, my module title is Intro to Interactive Media, for duck's sake.), and then Christina will suddenly be shrieking, "Ain't no other man, can stand, up next to you...!" The stupid teacher didn't even do anything about it, though i guess he must have heard it too. The girl beside me (she's really glam anyway) kept turning her head, but like that's gonna shut Christina up. Sheesh. would have asked the teacher to do sth about it, but he was the useless, wimpy teacher of my class last sem. he would probably have been all," Ohh, the ringtone? never mind, it would probably be too troublesome to find out the source of it. let's just try to be hush-hush about it, no need to kick up a fuss now. it's just a song, anyway it's rather hip, no? Shush, maybe you can try sticking a finger in one ear?" and wasted a good fifteen minutes away. nooo thanks.
i'm so mean.
Everytime i try to coerce my mom into letting me go to UK, i feel that bit of hope growing. maybe it's cause mom's retorts are always darn weak. "Don't want lar, it's so scary!" she always ends the argument this way, and then she'll laugh. like, she knows herself it sounds pretty stupid. hahhaha. was about to say so cute, but i think it's quite gross to say that of a parent.
i had better focus now! luck to all of you studying too. (and still blog-hopping. haha) :)
P.S Di, signing off with Ah Seng in emails is a badddd idea. my mom might just chance upon it and think i'm eloping with some beng! Hee.
update: drats, my mom just added another to the list of why i should not go, cause it's too dangerous. so now, the list stands at
1. it's too dangerous
2. it's just too dangerous
3. it's too scary
4. it's so dangerous
5. it's too dangerous
this is going nowhere! grrr.
can you hear the soft swoosh of the butterflies' wings. 6:45 PM.
