my msn is down. apparently, the router blocking has affected the msn port. how sad. have to survive on e-messenger for a couple more days.
during the examination period, "screwed" "die" "fail" are often words being used by students. however, to each individual using them, there's a different connotation to it, though they SEEM to sound the same.
firstly, the extremely pro and smart pple will say "i'm screwed" after stepping out of the examination hall. this would be usually followed by :"i lost 2 marks already" or "i dont know how to that last part." this is usually based on the fact that some pple didnt do 20+ marks. thus, in this context, it is evident that their definition of "failing" their exams are probably anything short of full marks.
then, there are the average people, like me. when such pple say that they are going to fail, they mean it. when one can leave 6 mcq blank out of 30, it sure shows one capabilities. another good indication is when one cannot do 40 out of 100 marks in a paper, have a 50% chance of getting 30 of the remaining 60 correct. occassionally, this is coupled with the fact that parents of pple in this catergory tend to expect perfect results and consistently shower them wif words of encouragement such as "if u dont get 4As, you will have to waste another 3 years in poly." thus there have been cases where pple have been reported to develop signs of mental instability.
anyway, my point is that pple shuld really stop mis-using the word "screwed" or "fail" in examination contexts. pple who are in the 1st catergory (and they know perfectly who they are) shuld stop insisting that they fail. n of coz stop they should stop sprouting utter nonsense and cease proclaiming that they wont get gd marks, when their scripts would contain nothing but ticks only. it simply gets on the nerves on pple who are in the 2nd catergory.
oh yeah, watched FF VII Advent Children. it's a movie of the classic RPG, FF VII. FF VII was like one of my 1st ever games i played. never did i know, that it would be the one of the best. i think i played FF 7 like 3 or 4 times over already, and i was NEVER once sick of it. maybe it's the intricate plot that spellbinds pple? or is it the action and battle system? or just the many secrets just waiting to be discovered? it's simply undescribable. anyway, one shuld go watch the cutscene at the end of the playing disc 1. it's good.
anyway, the movie lasted abt 1 hour 41 mins. but i spend about 3 hours in total. just kept re-watching certain parts. probably gonna re-watch soon too.
Question:
in the author's living years thus far, if there's only watch 1 movie he can watch and only 1 game he can play, wat would it be?
