I had a shock this morning!! I woke up and checked my watch for the time. Guess what?? It was already 8.30am, and my first paper starts at 9.30am. Thank goodness I reached the Sports Hall at about 9.15am. Initially, I thought to myself that am I going to be late for for my first exam in UK. I shall not sleep like a pig next time round. For both papers, most people left quite early. The first paper was Modelling Tools and Concepts. By the time three hours is up, I estimated that only about 60-65% of the cohort were still present. For the second paper, Electrical, Electronics and Computer Systems, we have 40 mcqs to do within 2hrs. Jealous right?? A far cry from that during the ‘A’ levels whereby we have to complete 40 mcqs within 1 hour. Therefore, by the time two hours is out, I gauged that only 30-35% of the cohort were still in the Great Hall. I sat at my desk through the exam. I think that it is probably I am used to sitting throughout the exam, and not leaving halfway through. After that, aimi, aesha, steph and I went to Mojo for dinner. Steph still have 20 quid left in her uni ID, so she only ordered a cup of mocha, and went back to Shackleton to have her dinner. The rest of us ordered Mexican Panini. I must say that it was good. Its appearance was appealing as well. Unfortunately, I did not bring along my handphone and camera to take photos of it. I shal remember to bring them along the next time I go there. Aimi and aesha treated me to a slice of cake. It was GOOD!! Thank you so much!! I would like to thank aimi, aesha, xunyang, steph, jenny and paul for the card. My first paper birthday card in UK!! Haha..A HUGE THANK YOU to my dearest family for the birthday wishes and card as well!! Also, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone else who posted on my wall in facebook!! I felt really overwhelmed and touched by the birthday wishes that I have received from SO MANY MANY PEOPLE!!!Now, for the bad news. I have to pay 57.50 quid for damaging the microwave oven. Can you hear it? My heart BREAKING INTO PIECES??? All because of my inexperience with the microwave oven. REGRETTED IT!! Sigh..but what can I do? What is done is done, I cannot reverse the damage. This is indeed a PRECIOUS and INVALUABLE lesson to be learnt from. Do not ever use something unless I am sure of how to operate it. So sad. Never mind lah..=D
