It's Maths today. My favourite subject.

The paper was quite alright. There were some questions I didn't know how to do. And I totally left out one part worth 7 marks because my eyes just missed it. Haiz. But even if I saw it, I may not know how to do also. So never mind la.

Usually after the maths paper, people will be comparing how many marks they lost because either they don't know how to do or they didn't attempt at all because there was no time.

But in the end, some of them still get quite high marks, so I doubt what they say. How can you boast that you lost 20 marks and still be so happy? A bit weird... But I guess they like doing that for attention. Don't know...

For mid year, I got 82/100. Highest in class! Whahaha. But the highest in level got 95/100. So my marks not that high actually. It's been very long since I see anyone get such marks. The last time was in primary school when everyone was aiming to get full marks because the paper was super easy then. And you would be so sad just because you got 99/100. Don't know about everyone else. Maybe it's just me. Haha.

I still remember the time in primary 6, during my maths mid year exam. It was towards the end of the paper and I already finished so I was checking. Then the guy threw a staple bullet at me! It's the type that you twist 2 around each other and it becomes sharp on all sides.

Unfortunately, it dropped into my shirt and got caught at the back of my bra! That guy and the one next to him was laughing some more! I was so angry but what could I do?! I was so fed up with it that I decided to stop checking my paper. No mood.

When the paper was returned to us, I got 99/100! So I searched for the mark that I lost. It was a careless mistake in one of the questions that I was about to check! I'm certain that if I got the chance to check it, I would have gotten full marks. But that's not the end of the story yet.

At the end of the year, my teacher told me that I had done very well for my prelim Maths paper and would get the "best in Maths" prize among the whole level. I was estatic! But later, he said that there was another guy that got the same marks as me and they had to look at tht mid year results. So guess what? That guy had full marks and I lost to him be just 1%! Ahh... It was one of the most frustrating moments in my life!

Just hope that that guy doesn't show up later in my life fighting with me for the same job. Then the employer decide to take a look at our primary school results because we got the same qualifications. And because of that 1 mark, he got hired instead of me. Hope not.

Still find it such a pity. But since it's over, I'll just let it go. Just hope that guy doesn't show up at the same job interview as me years later. Haha.
