The 2 killers MBFM and BTP are finally over. And I'm finally home, after spending 4 days in school. That was really hell.

Before MBFM exam today, I gave a random remark, and said that maybe the exam will not be as complicated as we thought, and they will probably ask some stupid question like, "Why do banks exist?". Everybody laughed.

It came out as a 10 mark question. And some people were really stumped.

Another interesting question in the MBFM exam, which happens to be out of the syllabus. "Does the Islamic financial sector prefer debt contracts or equity contracts?" Of course I had no idea, and for the first time in my life, I wished I was Malay.

One of the worst things about staying over in school these past few days was that on Sat when I left home, I left in a hurry. As a result I had two mismatched slippers on my feet. For 4 days. Darn.

A bit of exam humour. During exams, it is essential not to listen to the following songs:-

1) Songs by Aaron Kwok

Because you might "Kwok Bu Chen", i.e. fail to make it.

2) "Incomplete" by the Backstreet Boys

The lyrics are self-explanatory, though I've edited it slightly to reflect exams better

"Incomplete"

Empty spaces fill scripts up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without answers within me I can't find no way
Grades I’m getting is anybody’s guess

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you, all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

Listening to this song leads to incomplete scripts. Do be careful.

3) This song is particularly good for reflecting moods of students during exams.

Underneath my notes, there's an endless story...
