Me - [Starts giggling for no reason]Danial - [Nervously pulls away chair]Me - [Bursts out in laughter]And that my friends, is what nervousness for your upcoming OPW presentation will do to you. That, and the fact that I like to go through my memories, recalling the good jokes. Oh sure I might laugh aloud at them, but I'm the happy one.
Anyway, we had OPW todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Instead of our planned 20 minute presentation, we took up 50 minutes! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. But I really feel we had the audience's attention. Except for those usual jackasses.
OH OH! I got 18.5 for my chinese test. Upon
30. Ms Wong was reading the results by register number-order, and I was drawing on the mind-map pad. When the chinese translation of "Sze Wei, 18.5" left her lips, I literally froze. I could feel my entire body grow quite numb with shock. 18.5 is wayyy below my standard. Since I was aiming for at least a 24 ( I knew what with screwing up 2 questions in Section A, I could never score high for that test ), the 18.5 came as a real, real horrible shock. I remember my (nice) purple mechanical pencil dropping from my hands. Victor, after hearing that he received 18.5 too, turned around with the most astounded
WTF look I've ever seen. If I wasn't so stunned, I would have been wearing the same look myself.
Gosh, that was such a horrible moment. I remember thinking " I'm usually in the top 5 in terms of marks. So what the HELL am I doing in the bottom 5! " Bottom 5! I think Victor and I got 3rd lowest, with a 16 and a 17 being the lowest. I'm still hoping against hope that she counted wrongly, or marked wrongly or something. I know, for sure, that I was not overconfident for the test. And anyway, the test WAS easy. All the answers for the comprehension passage were in the passage...
If I do find out that I really got an 18.5, it's going to be a rude, rude wake-up call.
And now on to a more pleasant note: I've decided that when I check my email ( which is like once every fort-millennium+Eternity+2 seconds ), I'll just glance through the subjects of the email. If I don't see a proper subject ( therefore, labelling your email Virus.Exe or Spam or Boob Porn is probably not a good idea ), then I delete it straight away.
*Singsong voice* I"LL DELETE YOUR DAMN EMAILS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF COURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSE!
So moral of the story: If you even want to have a chance of me opening your email, you better put a proper subject. Not that I'll look at it if it does have a title, since I have been known to just delete emails without even looking at them. Now though, I will be making the tremendous effort to skim through the titles.
Other moral of the story: Use MSN or SMS or CALL me.
