With 15 more minutes before I go prepare for SDLS, I can only type a very rough copy of what happened today.
First things first, I FAILED MY KARANGAN!!!!
I read the question wrongly, instead of kejujuran; I read kejayaan and wrote a karangan based on that!!! So its terpesong, and in other words, a big red zero.
Yeah, I might be kicked out from the class for this... I hope not though; after all, it's my first mistake and it's just a small test. At least, that's what I think. The Malay teacher was quite pissed at all of us mainly because all of us come at different times. In case I didn't mention it earlier, my Higher Malay classes consists of many people from different schools assembling at Anderson Secondary. As this class is outside our school period, lots of people miss it because of CCA (curricular activities), other classes and stuff.
Aside from that fact, I was LATE. My class ended at 2.15 and the Malay class started at 2.30. Within the fifteen minutes, I was to walk to the bus stop (5-10 minutes), wait for the bus (10-15 minutes) and actually wait for the bus to arrive. (another 10-15 minutes).
But I pleaded that she marked for me as she would if I wrote in the write context so that I know how badly I did whilst she just mark the zero into my record book. At least then I could evaluate myself and see how Singapore's standard applies.
Results so far:
English: 20/30
Malay : 18/30
Lit : -XXX/XXX
If that isn't bad, I don't know what is. I do hope that the MOE doesn't kick me out already and take in account that I'm still not completely accustomed to everything!!! And I still have to wait for my chem results along with my other Malay test.
Btw, I came back quite early today, about 6.00pm. I must also mention once again that I come back earliest on Tuesday and Thursday, at 4.00pm++. What a JOY, compared to 1.00pm. Heavy sarcasm implied.
The next post I'll probably write about my roommates and classmates...
