Too Rusty

I guess its inevitable, that after 5 months without studying, my sharpness and focus will definately bound to be not 100% .

But I still had an interesting time at the Garden International School. Met some of my old friends, Chan Kin Wong, Kenson, Chee Guan, and also saw Malvin, Amos, Yip Wai and a girl which I guess her name's Jade. Lots and lotsa people were there. Most of the guys look smart, but the girls there were just a dream to watch. Lol. Well at least some of them were. There were 10 classes, with each class around 30 students. 30 x 10 = ?

Obviously, an International School is miles apart from a stupid local school. The whole class room is fully carperted and air conditioned. How nice...its like studying in paradise. Haha.

I was in Class 6. We had a briefing first together with classes 5,6,7,8,9,10 while classes 1,2,3,4 took their IQ test. The senior officer from the MOE, (Miss Ong) didnt mince her words when told what is expected of us IF we are lucky enough to be accepted for the scholarship.

The IQ test was kinda easy at first, and it got really hard at the last 10 questions. Its not really like the ordinary IQ test where you can take on the internet. But its like a test where you have to use your mind to complete the sequence of super weird pictures.

I also met 2 new friends, a state cricketeer from N.Sembilan and another Chindian from Perak. Finally, I'm in a room where if people ask me
"How many A's you scored ?"
"10...you ?"
"11"
Lol.
(refer the post on March 31)

After the IQ test is done, there's about 30 mins before the Maths test. Unlike the scene before exams in schools, no one here was studying at all. Everyone here was busy chit-chatting and do not even give a damn about the Maths test. Whether they were confident or not, I don't really know, but the test was hard. The syllabus there is only slightly different from the one here, but its more IQ oriented. I managed to fill in 19 out of 23 answers, which is not really poor, I guess, but still I was a little dissappointed.

Then came lunch. An international school but the standard of the food was far from international. A tiny plate of fried rice which tastes bad but still amazingly expensive.

After lunch came English. Again, the standard of the Singapore syllabus is slightly higher than the Malaysian one. One comprehension passage with 10 questions (50 marks) and 1 essay question (50 marks).

I had little problem with English coz I have been writing in this blog for the past few months. But for the Maths, even if I had studied all the formulas ( which I didnt ), I would still lack the sharpness needed to answer 23 questions in 2 hours.

The results will be out by the first week of May. Although I'm not really THAT confident, I still really hope I do get this scholarship. But so does the remaining 299 students who came here today.
