the com's working!!!My father repaired the com. Actually, the hard drive. I'm really relieved to be back on the net again. Thanks LOADS to my father who spent days AND NIGHTS trying and trying and trying with such an unyielding spirit to repair the com. [It was working, but had no internet connection [we changed the hard drive. Thankfully there was a spare one in the com or sth like that.]
And so, here I am blogging.
But wonder why I don't even sound like TRULY happy about it being "revived"?
1 it's slow.
2 it's SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!
3.IT'S SO SLOW AND FRUSTRATING.
4.there's so MSN messenger and as I said, it's SLOW and thus I've been here for about 1/2 an hour and msn messenger still isn't completely downloaded yet. It may take days and I wouldn't be surprised. Thing is, it CAN'T take days.
5.all my previous documents are gone.
6.at this rate I'm never gonna get anything done online on this com.
So disappointing.
But well. AT LEAST it's working huh. At least at least at least I CAN access the internet at home. I realise I can't survive w/o the com. Plus projects are coming up and there's psl stuff and RS and blahblahblah. And philo journal has to be typed out and printed too.
The age of technology is crazy. People w/o computers or internet...just die lah?!
Anyway.
SS test wasn't that bad. I expected it to be harder...cause everyone who had taken it before us said it was super hard and it was difficult to spot the points as they weren't very obviously pointed out in the sources...even my teacher said it was hard!! But it turned out not-so-bad after all. Only thing, had to write like 5 words in one second?!! SIAOOO. In the last 10 minutes I realise I was terribly running out of time and this my hand andnpen shot off at bullet speed, scribbling and scrawling all over the foolscap. Saying my handwriting was illegible may just be an understatement.
But anyway! I felt good after I did it. Cause I finished, mainly. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to complete it on time.
But as for the results, I'm not so sure.
Hah. Ironical. The test was about the S'pore education system...things like exam-orientedness vs talent-orientedness. And here I am worrying about EXAMS. When the sources stated that exam-smartness doesn't encompass intelligence. There're many more aspects and ways of testing one's intelligence besides just book-learning.
Heh. I have to say even though it's obviously true, it's hard to adapt to in a kind of learning environment like S'pore's.
Exam-beaters, not world-beaters.
Hah.
What are we gonna become in 10 years' time?!!
Into the south zone finals we go :D Up against cedar next. CHAMPION SPIRIT! go raffles(:
In such a horrible mood now. Don't wanna blog anymore.
Night.
Happy 127th birthday, rgs.
