Hey guys. I didn't go for morning kayaking training today. I heard they did 320 pushups and a 6 x 400m run... After some torturous water program... Poor dudes, to think I could have been one of them... EEEEK!

Anyway, in place of that, I went for some random scholarship test. It was IQ focused, with some vocabulary and maths involved. Haha I remember I was kinda worried about the time limit, so for the first sections (vocabulary, word skills), I rushed. Finished in five minutes (out of 10minutes). Spent the rest of the time perfecting my little ovals on the answer script. XD

After that was the pattern thingys. Wasn't too hard either. Really, I wanted to laugh at the simplicity... Of course, there were one or two questions I wasn't sure of, but I expected more. Well, my expectations came when we started the equation section. Here's a example.

2 4 8 9 + - x

a)2 b)196 c)83 d)30 e)10

Basically, you have to find which one of the answers (a,b,c,d,e) can be found by arranging the signs and numbers in a particular order (I came up with this question myself with the same concept, so it maybe flawed).

So you start guessing, or use some uber method I don't know of. I guessed.

2 x 4 - 8 + 9? Nope, it gives 1. 1 isn't in the choices.

9 x 8 + 4 - 2? It gives 74, which also isn't in the choices.

So you keep guessing until... You get this.

9 x 4 + 2 - 8. It gives 30, which is option d, so the answear is d.

We got 15 of these sort of questions, which we had to complete in 10minutes or something. I had to guess 2 questions! Oh no I feel so bad...

After that was some shape classification, which also burnt my brain... But it was do-able. Then came the shape relations, which were not as bad as the classification, but still irritating.

Finally came the paper folding, where they fold up a paper (like, illustrations) in funny ways and punch some holes, then they'll ask you what the paper looks like when it's unfolded. Haha they gave some super long question explanation (there's a question explanation for each section), but I couln't be bothered reading. I mean, just visualize... Just as I visualize so many things I want but cannot have in reality. Practise it like every day.

My parents promised to pick me up after that test, at 10 45. I waited until 12 15. No one came. I got quite angry, and went home myself. However, while I was at the bus stop, I met an old classmate from primary school. Haha the stuff that happen in life... And about being not being picked up despite the promise, forgive. My heart strains with resentment, but to push past that... is freedom.

Oh, and don't say I'm a slacker who didn't train. I pushed extra hard (only a little bit, but still a bit) for swimming. That reminds me... One day after training... Two random people started a conversation...

LT: Are you tired?

GJ: No, I'm LT.

LT: You're retarded...

GJ: No, I'm LT! Hey wait... That means I am retarded!

LT: *nothing to say*

Haha okay byebye. I'll do a proper introduction on VeganFox next time. Sorry for any mistakes, but I seriously can't be bothered going back to change anything...
