SATurday

F.artMed just recently visited a prominent college in the Buona Vista area, because Mr Reporter had to sit for a test with his friend. It was nothing really, both Mr Reporter and his friend studied for only 1 day when the preparation course for the test says 2 months. Quoting GenY speak in our beloved Straight Times, Mr Reporter is "GGXX"... Whatever that means.

Anyway, Mr Reporter was surprised to see so many people he had seen before. Surprised that so many people are also taking the same test as he is. For the record, Mr Reporter breezed through the arithmetic section but found the linguistic section a tad challenging. For 1 day's work, what can he expect, sia?

These are just some of the things that really annoyed Mr Reporter and friend today...
1) Disgruntled, obviously unprepared foreigners taking the test. Some were stretching non-stop to the point of irritating the friend. Some were just making constant yawns, obviously a spillover effect of nocturnal lifestyles. Some were attempting to make glances at other's answer sheets, showing the clear lack of preparation. Nonetheless, having others copying them is probably a first for Mr Reporter and pal, since they were never that smart to begin with anyway. (i.e: where got a manjen copy a mat in a test?) So this made them feel good in a way. :)

1.5) Not enough time to complete the essay. Many will agree to this.

2) The other mats who had their test elsewhere in the east, took 2 million years to arrive in town. In the end, these mats bought nothing at all. So Monday ya?
