fodder

the pebbles you've arranged,
in the sand they're strange.
they speak to me like constellations,
as we lie here.

    Horrendous! The Cough Symphony.

    So, micro went badly today. :( Imagine having to tackle a paper with 20 MCQs and 4 long structured questions within 2 hours. If you're thinking it's not that bad, *high 5!*, that's what I thought too. Unless of course, the tedious MCQs took forever to complete; 5 minutes for a stupid MCQ which is only worth 1 mark. HC teachers have met their match. I've never felt so annoyed during an exam! Seriously, frustration was building up in ominous amounts in me while I scribbled down my answers as quickly as I could, in a desperate attempt to maybe scrape a pass for this paper.

    Ominous, because I came out of the exam hall with my face as black as King Kong.

    Grrrrrrrrr.

    And what's with the COUGHERS?!!! I HATE HATE HATE coughers! They ought to be banned from the exam venues!

    Throughout the entire paper, the multi-purpose sports hall was filled with symphonic bouts of coughing. The coughers could...
    1. have chao mugged too hard the day before and hence, came down with a really bad cough and/or
    2. be attempting to cheat through cough codes and/or
    3. ate too much chocs and chips during this stressful period. Heaty = cough! and/or
    4. have the natural inclination to cough during an exam out of sheer nervousness and there's actually no phlegm at all.

    Screw it. I need my 2 hours of peace while doing my paper! If I'm not generating any audio disturbances in your way, then why should I put up with your incessant coughing?!

    Let each soft cough = x, normal cough = X, loud cough = X and super mega loud cough accompanied by an equally super mega loud sneeze be X, here you have it.

    Cough Symphony EC2101 FM:
    "xXXXXXx, XXXXxXXXX, XXXXxxxXXX, xxxXXXxXxXXxxxx,
    xxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx, xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx,
    xXxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXX!"
    *repeat verse on erratic mode, do verse in double quick time to create chorus

    Ladies and gentlemen, this was what I was put through for the entire 2 hours, on top of a very tough paper. You gotta hand it to these exam coughers man!
