A Series of "Sui" Happenings

Short Talk:
Being asked by my friend to write out my Chinese name, under such an unprepared condition, I wrote one of the words wrongly. But it was the older name I used before, I wrote the current one correctly. I still feel shameful and embarrassed!

The sky was clouded. I asked my friend, Chun Yong should we wait for the bus to go home. He said it was unlikely to rain in a short jiffy, and so I urged him to head home in a quicker pace. While we were about to reach Section 17 (the housing estate that both Chun Yong and I are currently staying), huge drops of rain beat my face, and followed by a merciless downpour with many thunders and lightnings. We just couldn't stop, as there was no place for us to shelter. Having no choice but to continue walking against the cold and strong wind with rain drops beating us ceaselessly though I did carry umbrella. The whole sight in front of me was a totally white curtain, I could hardly see a thing. The lightnings were incredible, all seemed to strike just in front of me (am I too sinful)? I was so scared being struck. Lastly we reached, as I couldn't continue anymore, I asked Chun Yong to let me shelter for a while in his house. After half an hour of thundering and raining, they were ebbing away, and so I made my way home.

As I thought this was the end, I realized it was just the start.

I took a nap after bathing and eating. Then I checked online for my Exam P/1 detailed results though I knew I failed it. Just wanna know the details actually. To my horror, to my frustration, I found out that I just needed another f*ck*ng one or two questions to pass the exam!!! I was so sim tia (heartbroken) that I needed a one whole night to cool myself down.

How I wish to get a '6',
I just want a '6'!!


For those who do not know about the exam unique grading system, this is the explanation from SOA (Society of Actuaries):

"Grades are reported on a 0 to 10 scale. Passing grades range from 6 to 10; failing grades range from 0 to 5. On this scale, the interval is 10 percent of the score required to pass; for example, a grade of 5 means failing with a score of at least 90 percent but less than 100 percent of the score required to pass. A grade of 0 does not mean that the candidate received no points, but that the candidate's score was less than 50 percent of the score required to pass."

If the day before was still not sui enough, look at what happened to me today.

As the day before of raining cats and dogs, me myself and my sports shoes were drenched in wet. So I have no sport shoes for today, then I simply grabbed a pair of shoes in the shoes closet without checking the condition of the shoes (who will?). Almost at the end of my last lecture session, I found that my shoes were damaged terribly, it was nearly torn apart into two parts (I wondered if it was made of paper or leather). While on my way back home, it was getting worse and last it was torn completely. Can you imagine?! Luckily I wore socks. I then walked on socks on the tarred road!!! Can you imagine?! Again luckily, there was a pasar malam right in front of me, so after staggering for twenty steps, finally I saw a shoes stall. This saved my life!!! And so I was no more distracted and continued strolling down the pasar malam happily while savoring many Malay snacks...

I'm still surviving right now, it seems that my EQ is not that bad, at least I didn't cry to my mum, lamenting this and that... *contented smile*

@.@ ... that day I was walking back home and it was so cloudy. When I was 2 minutes away from my house it rained so heavily and i couldn't reach for my umbrella in my bag. The fails were blocking so i just grabbed one document holder and run home. I got drenched although its only 2 minutes away =.="

Raining is still okay, but walking with thunders and lightnings is definitely not an exciting experience... Haha... My friend said he hoped to be struck so that he could be more intelligent =.=

Well, I think my dad has no response, as always, it seems like nothing will ever trigger any feeling or response from him... I think my mum will ground me for walking in thunders....
