Prelims 2007

What is Prelims/Promos/Any major exam all about?

Ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!


-- From Fort Minor's "Remember The Name"

You need some luck, need not be so knowledgable in your subject (but still need to be somewhat informed about your subject), need some will power to get you through this excruciating period without succumbing to the evil distractions of leisure gadgets.

It is probably a fun-filled activity for a handful who are more familiar with their subjects than their parents and can obtain A grades, but to the most of us, examination is painful -- mentally and perhaps even physically.

But we certainly have got all reasons to remember examinations, for it is perhaps what that constitutes most of our memories as a uniform-wearing student in an institution which enforces discipline.

Or perhaps remember the name of the setter of that evil question.

Anyways, some scenes from the debrief of our Chem paper today:









People busying queueing up to beg for more marks... and ironically more than half of them who did that obtained the maximum grade one can possibly achieve -- the holy 'A' grade.

Our hunger for more marks is a bottomless pit. Or maybe I am just jealous?

But then again, based on previous experience, such "begging" for marks are usually futile. Students normally would not have a concrete case to earn more marks, and will only reaffirm the statement that human beings have unlimited wants.

It's like queueing up to buy TOTO, espeically during Chinese New Year when the jackpot prize can easily accumulate to more than SGD$10 million. They are queueing up for a piece of hope, which will be dashed for most of them.

Haha.. You shall inteprete the distribution of scores yourself. =)
