Over the moon…

Praise the Lord! for today i received my result on my test which was held last week. din expect to get a better mark than predicted anyway cos i did have alot of careless mistakes in that paper. i still remember the night before the paper, there was a shutdown of current in my house. thank God that Hywell was at home that wed nite and i was able to go to his house and study (not really study i should say…). i left his house around 12 something back to my home and dozed off abit later after that.

Next morning on the day of the test, i overslept till my fren’s car who came and pick me was in front of my house gate. was so kelam-kabut and prepared myself to go uni without taking my breakfast. during the test in the classroom, i was late so have to sit on the type of chair wit a small writing desk attached to it. can’t complain about it cos the desk was so small it was only enough to have the paper on it and not the calculator!

When the test was over and papers was collected, was able to check wit my fren’s answer and try to make adjustments to it cos my solution was different from his. maybe for some u, cheating in exam is wrong. but for me,it depends. u see if u dun cheat in exam and u fail the exam, ur parents will be upset and u might get bombarded for it. for this paper, i did check my answer wit my fren but there was nothing i could change except for one figure in the working for one of the question. i needed to pass the paper badly since the passing for that paper was very low.

Well, i’m not encouraging anyone to cheat in exam. i see that as a skill cos if u’re smart enough to cheat, u won’t get caught. on the other hand, those who are weak at heart better dun try it. in the end, it all depends on wat are ur odds in passing ur paper.

cheers…
