GAT (Get Action Time)

Today is today = boring is boring.

Both are the same.

During assembly, I started doing that stupid maths paper, and woot! By the time we were climbing the stairs to class, I had reached question 28!!! I rock so much!

English was BOOOOOring. Then came Science, which was very VERY bright compared to English and very VERY dull compared to yesterday. Honestly, I prefer lessons in the Science labs. They always mean experiment time.

Recess blah blah. I went to get a bowl of soup from stall 7, then I went down to Tanjong Rosyth to buy an ice-ball, but it turned out that I bought a box of cotton candy, or candy floss, which I'm used to calling. I ate it slowly, savouring every bite (well, every melt then) of the candy floss, and people around me were begging for some!!! LOL!

When we got back from recess, Rachel, Mel and Kim "begged" me for some candy floss, I gave them very generous portions of my candy floss.

During Science lessons, I was so tempted to eat that ZB and I made a pack. Every 5 minutes, we'll each have a little bit of the candy floss. Half of it was gone by the end of Science, wow, I ate that much?

Then came art. It was stupid, I mean, I did one, I saved it, that stupid tabkids program closed by itself without my permission and I couldn't find my picture in there! What the blah! Then I had to redo mine. That sucked like siao (sp?). Do not repeat my mistake.

Then it was Chinese, purely forgot to learn my 听写 and I died, but I think I managed to scrape a pass.

For lunch, I went down to Tanjong Rosyth to get a ice-ball and ended up buying 4, 1 for Cass, 1 for Vera, and 1 for YT (and 1 for me, of course). When I finished eating that ice-ball, it was already 12:52 and there's 3 more minutes to go till maths, but who cares? I went to buy a bowl of duck kuay teow soup. Yum Yum! I ate all of it in 3 minutes!

Then blah blah blah maths and then English started. I had to leave the class halfway just to go for that stupid RGSS GAT. That was pure stupidity. But Ling Ying also went for the GAT.

My mother came to pick me up at 14:00 and we went to RI to take the GAT. Thankfully, there was space in the carpark to park the car. Thankfully again, my name starts with 'R' and not with A-L. Thank goodness, because the queue for the A-L registration stretched all the way for about 10 metres. Down the stairs and into the car's waiting area. But the M-Z queue was so short, only about slightly longer than a metre that it only took my mother and I 1 minute before our turn came. It was 14:33. They wanted us to assemble outside the hall by 14:45. So my mother and I went down to the canteen to get a can of ice-lemon tea. Oh yea, and before we went down, I met Darren and Gary there, going for the GAT too, I suppose.

My mother said I had to have a good impression and insisted on retying my hair, which was a complete waste wasted time, as the frinch just came hanging down again, just like it did at school.

It was way after 14:45 before they let us in, it was about 14:54 around there. Only 2 pencils and a soft eraser were needed, so naturally I brought a mechanical pencil, a wooden pencil, and my trusty black exam grade eraser!!! Of course, I took my jacket with me, the hall wasn't that cold, but not that warm either so I just wrapped the jacket around myself.

The boys (going for RI, not RGSS) sat at the left of the hall while the girls (going for RGSS not RI) sat on the right.

Then they made us sit like zombies for half an hour just filling up our OAS which consists of the usual name, gender, date of birth, date, and an extra BC no.. So we just sat there like corpses as they flashed us some samples of how the GAT might look like. It was boring. Just like our GE entrance test. Some patterns and you have to complete them. Boring.

Then the real thing started. The first few questions were easy, I only remembered being stuck on Q.22 and Q.27. I skipped them and continued, Q.38, the last question, was tough, it took me at least 2 minutes to figure out how to do it. By then, only 2 minutes left to go. So I quickly flipped to Q.22 and realization dawned upon me, and I quickly changed my answer, when I went to Q.27, the same thing happened. It's funny, you know. Just as I fininshed shading the oval, time's up! Half an hour gone! I felt I had done quite well. Then my mother bought me a notebook, a mathematical set (mine broke when some idiot threw my bag from the 3rd floor of the IBC. You know the place where we out our bags and you have to climb that stupid stairs) and a stapler, because I need it. I keep borrowing from AnYan.

Guess what? 98.7 fm played "Bleed it Out" from Linkin Park's latest album, Minutes to Midnight. That was the coolest part of the day. Happy happy happy!
