The mind-wrecking 8 days has finally passed and my finals are done with... I'm feeling as much relieve as nervousness... Logically, I understand tt feeling nevervous AFTER the exams are over is utterly ridiculous... I've sat for the exams, I've handed in my answers, so being nervous and apprehensive won't and can't change the incorrect response tt I've written... I guess it's just in the human nature...
And strangely, I've never felt such post-exams jitters, ever... Well, I was rather confident in the past, but it seems like tt confidence seems to wane as age catches up with me... I believe tt the difference b/w 'confidence' and 'complacency' is really just a thin thread...
Am I getting more cautios, so tt mistakes can be avoided, or am I just being a gutless, paranoid chicken??? I find it increasingly hard to differentiate them...
I guess it's time to really get what I've been doing best all these yrs - blocking and tuning out stuff - back... I seem to very capable of jarring my self-confidence by considering the macro-forces tt I can't control, like the intense competition tt I'm facing and the grading system... It's time to block out all these and pretend tt those stuff don't exist...
Tt said, I've made a few careless mistakes for [BSP1005], am praying hard tt I could get a pass for [MKT1003] (though a 'C' would be much preferred'), got stunned by a few questions in [DSC2003] and [ST1131A]... MCQs for [GEK1527] is simply too tricky tt it's hard to discern what's really correct...
*Sigh* As it is, there's NOT A SINGLE MODULE for which I can confidently say tt I know all of the questions when I walk out of the exam hall... And what worse, with only an average of 5 to 6 questions per paper and each question having like tons of marks assigned to them, 1 careless, baka mistake is sufficient to DOOM me...
I'll just have to wait till 22 Dec before the verdict is out on how well I've fared...
Oh well, moving on to this afternoon... I met up with [Ah Ming] @ [Lot 1] to catch [2012]... We met @ noon and after spending $3 for both our tickets because I used my complimentary pass and I've decided to share the cost of the other ticket which cost $6 so my [Ah Ming] could earn some 'economic benefit' too, we headed to [PastaMania]...
I ordered my [Ham Cheesy Pasta] and it seems like this time, I suffered a cheese overdose as the pasta already contained cheese sauce with more cheese bits... Then I went to more cheese onto it... Well, I could take it the other time when I tried it, but this time, before I could finish it, I almost puke... Luckily, I stopped just in time before my stomach revolted...
Anyway, we chit-chatted a little, talking abt the various modules tt we've taken as well as our common dislike for gory (a.k.a [Saw] movie) before we moved onto the arcade where we spent the next 45 mins or so there... We were observing some teens playing the [DDR] and I'm truly amazed @ their proficiency in the game... Having almost no miss, no cool...
I wish I could do tt in [Audi] too, @ the [6-Key Beat Up] mode... But it's all wistful thinking when I hardly even practice the game...
The movie was not too bad... Neither was it really fantastic, though there were some scenes which were rather touching, causing a tear to ALMOST escape... Anyway, the most outrageous scene was when the whole state was crumbling into nothingness due to the displacement of the tectonic plate and yet, the main protagonist, his ex-wife, his 2 children and the ex's husband managed to miraculously survive tt disaster... And how was tt done??? By the protagonist driving the car like a lunatic as the tectonic plate cumbles JUST BEHIND the car and as buildings collapse EVERYWHERE BUT @ THE FRONT OF THE CAR... Even the building decided to smash into rubble only AFTER the car drove through... As the car was driving through, the falling pieces seems to slow down while the car maintains it's velocity...
Bet if the protagonist bought lottery, he would've striked the top prize... LOL...
Overall though, despite it's average-ness, the movie is really thought provoking... If the world really is to end and we know abt it and have the ability to escape it, who should get the chance??? Will the government really keep the public in the dark till the crucial min before breaking the news??? Will only the rich bastards be given the chance to survive the apocalypse??? Or will only the genetically flawless be kept alive??? Or should we just make it 1st come 1st serve, allow for natural selection???
But even the last is unjust as wherever the ship is built, the ppl furthest from it georaphically speaking will be @ a serious disadvantage... So, does this simply boils down tt when the world ends, we should just do nth and let [Earth] be cleansed from human civilzation??? Like some sort of 'Reset' button where evolution will just start all over again???
Haha... Well, it's simply food for thought... =)
