Haha. Finaly i've gt my cert ytd!!! My diploma cert. Though its jus a dip bt still, on tinkin bac, its nt ez 2 get the cert. Its ex plus alot of hard work required. Studied so hard for all the modules. Esp yr 2 sem 2 n yr 3 study sem modules were so tough.

The 1st time i failed a test was aso during my poly life. Yr 1 onli i gt a big ZERO!! Tats the 1st & last time i gt a zero for an exam. ASP module. Lousy teacher. I rmb is he caused mi to fail the pract test. The 1st time i failed, he told mi is my file corrupt. So i tot maeb i reali did sth wrong so caused it to corrupt. In my class, nt onli i get zero. Quite a number get zero or failed. So tat teacher, Simon said tat he will allow us to retake the pract. I practised real hard for the repeated test and was confident of doing it. My application could work bt still i've gt a ZERO!!! I duno y. Till 1 day i met an error myself while doin sum practical. I realised tat i shdnt change the naming of the file cos it will cause the file to be corrupted. Finally i understood. Tat stupid simon asked mi 2 rename my file at his com aft i had submiited by file to him. He even right click -> rename n ask mi to rename it. So tat explained wat caused mi 2 failed with 2 zeros. Its him hu caused mi 2 fail. Wat a stupid teacher. Wonder hw cum he can bcum a poly lecturer wif such standard. Basic aso duno still wan teach. Bt luckily the pract result didnt affect my final paper, else i'm gona hate the teacher 4ever n make sure he lose his job.

Another module tat almost killed mi was tis - "Software Engineering" tat i took in yr2 sem 2. Flipped thru the lec notes bt dun understand a single ting. Most of the tut qns, i rmb, nobody in my class noe hw 2 do. All copied here n there. For most tut, i will do b4 goin 2 sch for the lesson bt tat module, i totally duno hw 2 do. I cried when i was studying for the quiz n exams. Cos i reali dun understand a single ting inside. Its sound so alien to me. U may tink is cos i nv attend lecture bt others hu attended aso nv sae they understand. Plus i dun hav the habit to attend lecture unless gt forced under certain circumstances. Bt luckily i managed to pass. Gt a B+. Ha. Its pure luck.

Bside tat, there's also another module in yr2 sem 2 - "Operating System". Tough module aso. Bt managed to survive maeb cos there's sum calculation qns so managed to save mi. Yr3, another module taught by the same lecturer "Electronic Commerce". Tats seriously tough. Same ting, all the tuts i duno hw 2 do. Even do le aso duno correct nt. I rmb the business models, till exams i also duno hw 2 differentiate them. C those qns can onli tikam. Speak till tis module, there's an unforgettable exp behind it. An exp tat makes mi rmb so clearly till nw.

Like i said, tat module was tough or shd sae, its actually the toughest of all. The notes were thick and every single detail was impt. The hints lecturer gave were as gd as nth. Cos its actually reading the whole bk. The bk was real thick and there's part 1 n part 2 notes. All the while, i onli studied 1 day b4. Means if exam is tml, i will onli start studyin 2dae. If i studied earlier, i cant get in aso. So the day b4 the e-commerce exam, i was trying hard 2 study n didnt online at all. Normally if i online, my frens will discuss abt wat time 2 meet tml. Bt so happened i didnt on my com cos was trying 2 save time n quickly study. I duno y isit tat in my mind, i kept rmbering the exam time as 4.30pm. So was tinkin, i shall study as much as i can n leave sum chapters for the nxt morn to complete. So i tried my best to memorise as much as i could till like 2,3am in the nite then quickly go slp. B4 i slpt, i told my mum to wak mi up at ard 9 in the morn. Tinking tat 5,6hrs of study shd b more than enuf le.

Started my revision again at ard 10. Read thru abit n had my lunch. Aft lunch, sumhw i gt tis veri strong urge to check my exam timetable again. Sumhw my mind kept telling mi 2 check the time. So at ard 12.25pm, i checked the e-service for my exam timetable. And the moment i saw the time, my heart almost stopped. I gt a BIG BIG shock of my life. The exam time is actually 12.30pm!!!!!!!! Its jus few more min away to exam!!! I reali panic. I stood there rooted, duno wat 2 do. Cos at the start of the sem we were brief tat there's no sub papers. If u fail tis, u gt 2 jolly well repeat the module nxt sem. Its nt fun at all. I was so lost at tat time, i didnt noe wat 2 do. I sat on the floor wif my mind so blank. I was so scared n reali duno wat i shd do. The paper had started and i'm still AT HOME!!! Shd i go for the exam?? Can i make it??

Aft like 1 or 2 min, i finally woke up. I put on a tee n jeans n jus grabbed my stuffs n dumped into my bag n rushed dwn for a taxi. Luckily, the moment i went dwn, i saw a taxi approaching so i told the uncle to drive faster, i'm seriously late for exam n its my very very last paper of my life. I cant fail tis. Luckily the uncle was in a veri gd mood. He happily told mi he jus picked up a 1000 dollars sg note, n he promised tat he will get mi to sch asap. Indeed, he drove real fast.

In the cab, my heart was still pumping veri fast. I'm trying hard to calm dwn n quickly go thru the notes tat i haven touched at all. Bt i couldnt. N the uncle was so happi tat he kept calling all his frens to tell them he was so lucky to found himself a 1000 sg note. N he was tokin so loudly n so unpleasantly, i couldnt study at all. Wat can i do?? Tell him, hey u stop tokin i wan study?? Wat if latr he dropped mi at lentor way hw?? Lidat i can 4get abt goin 4 exam le.

I closed my bk n tried to calm myself dwn. My mind was real blank. I cant rmb a single ting i studied. I noe i'm dead meat. Surely i'm gona fail tis paper bt at the meanwhile, i told myself i cant fail. Tis is my veri last paper. I dun wan to repeat a sem. I wan to grad wif the rest. I cant make myself accept the fact tat i nd 2 retake a module. I CANT!!!! I MUS PASS THIS PAPER NO MATTER WAT!!!!

Finally i reached sch. B4 i alight frm the cab, the driver told mi gd luck n asked mi nt to run, later fell dwn then no gd le. So i thanked him n alighted. The path to the exam hall seemed so cold to mi. I can imagine the scene inside the hall. Everyone's doin their paper while i'm still walking dwn the path to my doom. In my mind, i rmb the driver's words, "Don't run!" After walking awhile, i told myself dun run then i'm an indiot!! I'm already so late hw can i nt run. So quickly i ran to the exam hall n in my mind, i prayed to "guan ying niang niang". I prayed tat she will help mi pass this paper. I reali cant afford to fail. Outside the exam hall, i looked at my hp time. Its 5 more min to 1pm and 1pm is the latest time to enter the hall. So i spent tat few min of time outside n calm myself dwn n at the meantime tried to recap sum of the tings i've read.

When its near 1pm, i took a deep breath n headed for the exam door. Every1 was bending their heads dwn n concentrating on the paper. I saw my teacher lookin at mi n as i entered. I was so blur tat i almost walked to the wrong table. So my e-commerce module showed mi to my seat. I looked at the clock. It was 1pm sharp. I'm late for 30 min bt jus on time b4 i'm debarred frm the exam. Sat dwn, drank sum water to calm myself dwn n i started the paper. I duno y those tings tat i couldnt recap earlier on suddenly came to mi on the spot. So tats hw i pass my paper wif a B+. Surprised bah. I'm totally shocked when i c the results. I'm expecting a C or D cos my ICA i've gt a C+ so was tinkin hard 2 hav B or A. Bt hu noes some other modules tat i expected to be betta, end up i've gt a B.

I'm reali surprised n so happi. Finally the nitemare is over. I can only sae I'm reali reali lucky. N if i didnt have the sudden strong urge to check the exam time at 12 plus, or wat if i onli check the exam time at 1pm or later or i reali go for exam at 4.30pm. I will cry sia. I reali duno wat will happen to mi. Perhaps "guan ying" is reali helping mi. Hee. Cos the strong urge is reali unexplainable. I duno y sumhw it seems like sumbody or sth is urging mi to go check the timetable. I was studying at tat time n all of a sudden i tot of checking the time. Lucky is the word i can sae.

So tats the story behind my cert. Shocking bah?? Yr 3 last paper le then lidat. If reali fail or debarred frm the exam, i will quit sch le. Tats hw serious i am regarding the fact of having to retake a sem. Finally nw everyting's over. Phew~~ Mus go frame up my cert. Ha.
