The Exam Post (post-exam post?)
Posted by MrSaints in Marvellous Misadventures, Spotlight Friday, 8 January 2010 17:41 No Comments
Well its not really the end of my exams yet 
Only week one! There’s still week numéro deux leaving the rest of my weekend to a good advantage for me to revise (or leave things till Sunday as usual)! As you can see, I lost my creative juices lately as well as most of my inspiration (if you had notice the new and retarded logo on the top left of the blog). But no worries! I shall revamp this blog sooner or later.
Since I haven’t been posting for a long long time, I shall set this on spotlight category (: (it is a highlight is it not?). In short, I have spent the whole 5-Days of this week with no more than 5-Hours of proper rest. Increase in loss of hair and probably gained a few one or two pimples. FML. Yes. Exams. Although its only mocks, I have no idea why I’m taking it so seriously, P.S. Jafnee: Ms.Southall Notes!
One thing I’m really proud of now… my great collection of Biology and Chemistry notes for IGCSEs!
Oh, I forgot to mention, due to various obligations, I missed my one chance to “win” something from the Adobe Innovative Awards 2009. I can’t forgive myself till today. Seriously. But it’s the past, so I’ll have to just move on. Anyhow, I have installed LiteSpeed on my Netherlands server recently, and wow, a significant performance improvement (Yes, its only a 15-Days trial at the moment).
Previously, with suPHP, the RAM (Memory) usage was at an average 20% (If I’m not mistaken), but due to the way ’suPHP’ works, I often suffered High CPU Loads (for no apparent reasons) resulting in absolutely slow loading pages. Another factor I believe that has cause this is because of the I/O problems. With not much knownledge of the actual situation, I recompiled Apache and PHP into FastCGI mode (mod_fcgid). Yes, it was great at first, but many sites suffered random and unexaplainable problems. Sadly, it did not really help in terms of CPU reduction, even with nginx working as a reverse proxy. Which led me to my final solution, LiteSpeed.
So, Thank God It’s Friday! I have the rest of the day to fool around and sleep (yay!) .
Perhaps I should also get started on revision?
I won’t have time to update. Sooo don’t expect anything for a while

Byeee!
Exam Week Revision Periods and Music allowed…

Well I think everyone here has exam week and some of you have revision periods. What happens when the teacher lets you listen to music during that period? Well read on and find out.
It was Wednesday and only two more days of exams to go. We had one of the nicest teachers to supervise us during revision period. She let us listen to music while revising. OH YES BABY! The class brains listens to rap and this one song caught my attention. I was revising French sitting next to my friend and we were listening to his iPod. After 5 minutes I hear someone singing and what really caught my attention is swearing. He was sitting behind me, the class brains, (btw he’s a nice guy) and he started singing along with the music. It went like this,
‘Watcha want Nigger Nigger watcha watcha want?! ‘ and I started laughing and everyone became distracted. Soon it was evident what had happened and now the teacher knew. Finally the boy looked up to find everyone staring and laughing at him… The teacher however didn’t do anything and was kind enough to carry letting us listen to music. Probably the funniest exam week that happened in the history of my life.
Tell me if you lol’ed, if you didn’t then PM me for lessons on learning to laugh? Haha
Lol, I don’t have question 3!

Ehh, yes another terrible blog about my day.
So yea, decided to wake up at 6am, turned out I was so tired I woke up at 6.30am, lol wasted 30 minutes of revision, no matter. I finished washing up and all in time for 10 minutes revision then off to school, where I did a slight bit more revision for physics.
Ahh, the test. Paper 1 was it? Yea, the multiple choice. It was easy I must say, no doubt I had troubles over it, but then… Paper 3, the short answers one… Oh my gosh. It is incredibly EASSSYYY. I mean, wow… I skipped so many questions the first time around, I had to come back later only to realize how to do it. Lol, the other people doing coordinated science finished their test earlier than us and they were doing all 3 science tests (bio, chemistry and physics). No surprise my Physics IQ just went up thanks to this incredibly tough test.
So yea, English test was around a half hour more, I thought to myself whether I should use this time revising for history. Fuck it, we went to the canteen. Got a drink or so and started talking about the test and random shit. Hahahaha Jafnee. So here comes the funny bit and depressing bit.
Somehow… Don’t know how… Or don’t know why… There were 3 questions to the English test, I went like so daft and blur during the test, I only did the first 2, didn’t notice there was a 3rd. Lol too late. Saw them going around collecting, the truth is… I tore the last page out and pretended to say I don’t have it. But yea… I actually didn’t notice it was there. Dayum! My incompetancy. Doesn’t matter, its just yr10 exams anyways, **** it.
Besides that, the history test was 2 hours long! Our invigilator came a “SLIGHT” bit late, so we finished our test slightly later. But the late-ness of the invigilator allowed me to revise a bit more. So yea, I was writing like shit for the 1st and 2nd section for history. The USA one got me slight bit knock’d off. Probably cause I was focus so much on the League Of Nations and Treaty Of Versailles that I didn’t do much on USA… Or probably its exam stress? Or probably it was cause I was thinking of my stupidity during English? Anyhow, I managed to get around 5 pages in total filled up 
:D I love history. Lol @ Adam. you CEET!
Oh yeaa… My mom also came late to pick me up, cause she thought my exam ended at 3.30. She saw wrong =.=”
Well got Chemistry and Malay tomorrrow. Only worried about Chemistry. Have a feeling imma’ fail LOL.
Kk.. Think positive.
Fossil… Family, Literature :D

Well I just got back from my English Literature exam today, it was… tough.
I have no words to describe how it was apart from the fact I stared blank on the question sheet for almost 5~10 minutes without a reason. All I could hear was echos of Mr.Beattie saying, “EXPLAIN THE EFFECT”, “THATS WHERE ALL THE MARKS ALL”. Well congrats to him in getting that stuck in my head, if Seok Won was reading this, I bet you’ll laughing right now.
Anyways, I managed to complete everything, Oh! I also realized I prefer essay based questions rather than passage based analysis. Doesn’t matter now, failed my last question on Bessie Head’s When Rain Clouds Gather, I think. And that on the right is the so-call “King Richard III” literature play we had to study, Richard is quite a retard I must say.
So yea, 2 and a quarter hours and I was finally out. What I day, slept late, woke up early, revised, exam, back home Relaxing… Though tomorrow is going to be a long day, it’ll be Physics, English paper 2 and History. Oh joy! More writing in History. Back to what happened, since I haven’t finish explaining what happened… okay thats confusing, anyways, after the exams, it was the same old habits, walking up to your friends and going “SHIT! SHIT! I’M GONNA’ FAIL!” with probably some sense of sarcasm? Then it was study leave! And Gloria Jeans coffee.
Since it was around 12.30pm, McDonald’s was the a good choice I could get a decent lunch in for 6RM, lol. So yea, in the car my mom was talking about what happened last night on Sunday, some Mother’s Day event or something organized by the Church. I didn’t go, I wanted to stay home and revise, my brother stayed home too. So whilst I was eating my mom was talking to me about how Happy my grandmother and father was that night cause the MC told all the sons and daughters to get up and hug their parents 
Awhh how HAPPY?
See, I don’t really have a sinister side, people just see me WRONG.
Back in the car after lunch, my mom was talking to me about how the MC was describing kids.
“Oh back then when you were still babies, your parents teach you ABC and 123, now when kids grow up, their parents want to learn about computers, kids say, GO AWAY! You Noob! You Stupid!”, Lol this kinda’ reminded me of myself. Ouchh… Anyways I think thats true 
I wasn’t really paying attention, just tried to remember what happened last night and today, food, food, food.
And Lol! I wanted to talk about Fossil Fuel on this blog, but I lost my train of thought and its getting a bit long and boring. Screw that, save it for the other blog post. For those that are interested, I’m not Christian, neither am I a non-believer, I prefer having faith in what I desire.
Lalalalalala… This is a useless post
