invigilation @ SNGS

i discovered that invigilation wasn't that difficult at all.... and most importantly, my chinese is still not as sucky as i thought it would be hahaha!!

anyway, i woke up quite late actually.... was supposed to meet roland for bfast at amk macs? BUT... BUT.... HE HIMSELF DIDN'T TURN UP!!! wah liew... make me take cab rush down juz so that i won't be late can... haiz.... how can like tat sia.... and the cab i took was a merc cab lah. the stupid meter starts from $3.00 can. omg.

cab ride

nvm, reached St.Nicholas Girls' School just to find out that i have to enter from the other entrance at Ave. 3, and luckily i met jasmine there, and her dad oso lompang me there. phew. or else gotta walk like nobody's business.

alrighty, so... let's see, at the control room, things were going on very slowly and they weren't keeping to the time! the students were like all in the classroom oredi and the centre IC is still distributing the papers and CDs to us, and we still gotta count the number to make sure everything is correct.

my working file cover - Main Invigilator - dun play play

Invigilator Pass - 主考 lei HAHA...

and worse, i had a hard time finding my classroom, but luckily i still found it haha... and wasn't rily late at all. so, i had to brief my invigilator (his name's winson, from singapore poly) on what to do and sign the handing/taking over form for the exam scripts etc... checking their attendances, took up quite some time, but we were both efficient lah. in the end, we still gotta wait like 20mins before the clock striked 9.30am so that we could start.

so during the waiting time, the girls there were like in their playful mode... wah run here and there, machiam primary sch kids, smiling, talking to us... blah blah blah... oh! and i forgot to mention, the classroom i was in is my cousin's form class! hmm haha 2 Hope... lolz yeah, and i was like looking at their works pasted on the wall... apparently, she was taking the exam today too but was in another classroom.

my cousin, Victoria, the one in pink who's in SNGS.

the other is her sister, Samantha, who's in CHIJ SJC.

ok, so 9.30 came and i started giving out instructions... and started with the listening comprehension test (man, it was boring okay, 50 qns for this section).

i learnt from it (the listening compre) that cockroaches won't die that easily! u chop off its head, it still lives for days to weeks and can even copulate and reproduce! cockroaches originated from N. Africa, and spreaded around the world by boarding some ships that are going around the world? haha.... and that little girl at the right corner of the classroom was trying to peep at her fren's answer, but caught me staring at her.... tsk tsk... bad girl.

the time crawled very slowly for the other remaining 3 sections of the exam, and the exam seems vv simple cos everyone finished vv early and fell aslp while waiting for the next section to begin. and some of them were like, staring at me non-stop, waiting for me to announce the time haha...

and when the final moment came... it was damn funny... i was supposed to end the paper at 12.12pm, and the time was like 12.10pm.......... 12.11pm....... and everyone were like staring at me hoping that i would open my golden mouth haha! AND when i opened my mouth to say "ok.....", i haven't finished saying my sentence! ALL OF THEM started cheering and clapping their hands hahaha... and that was the first time i actually laughed along with them haha.. haiz invigilator lah, cannot keep smiling at them or else they will take u for granted.

Winson and i were like... "hmm shall we take a class photo with them after the paper ends?" haha... but, in the end, we were like "aiyah, 算了" haha... but this class was a vv interesting class lah, playful but not to the extent of being naughty and uncontrollable.

in the whole process, there was one thing i had to do too... i had to record down any occurences that took place during the examination. okay, so there was 2 incidences...

1) this girl who raised her hand and with everyone sitting around her laughing. i was like "huh? wad's so farnie..." so i went over, and....

girl: "我是从台湾来的，可是我的准考证上说我是中国来的。。。怎么办?"
me: "...... ...... (laughters from everywhere in the class still ongoing) .... ......... ...."
girl: *staring at me still*
me: "ok 没关系, 你就在答卷上先写中国, 我会把这件事记录下来...."

2) there was this girl who oso totally didn't turn up for the test... this incident is nothing funny.

back to the first incident, i was recording down the nationality mistake made but... shit, i dunno how to write the 湾...... had to leave it till i report back to the control room and ask for help haha...

some girls also had interesting names.... there's this one "Lin Jie Kai Ethel" and another "Genin" and i was like... hmm genin? Genin refers to rookie ninjas in the anime "Naruto" HAHA.... i only rmb this 2, couldn't rmb the rest...

yeah, so the day ended juz like that, with us submitting back everything to the Centre IC and collecting our pay... $60 lei can watch movie hahaha... and we went to take some photos, but most of the photos are not with me.. but i have this one...

shujing, roland & i

and i realised that i'm one of the few male Main Invigilators... the rest were all females! muahaha.... tsk tsk tsk.... calibre too high to be juz invigilator, so they let me be main invigilator... hahahaa!! kidding...

later in the evening, i had dinner with my family to celebrate my sis's 21st bday tmr.... Happy 21st !! auntie liao!! obasan HAHA... yeah, but that's another story, for another time.....
