End of Examination 4: The Final Encounter(until next school year, at least)

I just wanted to try this style of posting one more time. I had fun the first time.

The final skirmish was just one week away. I went through rigrous training, finding as much data as I can on my opponents. I was forced to skip any recreational activity(at least in surveillance). There were 9 of them to deal with. I had to meet 3 of them in the first day and 2 each following day. The first was Cooking, Computer and P.E.

Day 1

All 3 were not particularly hard. Granted, they were on the first day. I rushed up to Cooking and gave it a barrage of answers. There were some parts where I had a problem remembering, but nothing too hard. Among the rest, I knew about Computer the most. I gave it everything I knew before it had time to act. Finally, PE. I was always bad against it, yet I always beat it easily. Some well placed shots and shooting randomly, and it was over.

Day 2

Math wasn't particularly hard, but I did have to take my time. It was tricky, so I couldn't just aggressively pummel it. Unfortunately, I took too long. Just before I was about to finish it off, it ran away. Filipino was my first and hardest challenge. I took a lot of time, and I still barely scratched it. It's defenses were strong, and it's technique well done. In the end, I opted for the only technique I could count on at the time: Shotgun.

Day 3

English. One quick blow, then a nap. finished. What else can I say? Soc. Sci. and I exchanged blows. Soc. Sci. slowly took the advantage. It left me lost and confused in the middle, but I think I was able to make it out after.

Day 4

Science is probably what I failed the most miserably to. Even with the help of the calculator, I still didn't stand a chance. Though I was able to stand on my feet until the very end, I was knocked unconcious when I was clost to finishing it. The proctor woke me up ten minutes after the bell rang(not really). I was tired, and eager to finish. I didn't put much thought into C.L. and just beat it over and over again until it gave in. I can finally go to Robinson's!

I met up with my allies and we exchanged the information we extracted. Everyone got too addicted to cards. I couldn't elude the annoying 2's of diamonds.

Robinsons

Liu and I delayed our primary objective of reserving spots in Compass when MJ treated us to the arcade. Benji was a strong contender. Maybe because the darn punch button wouldn't work. Warcraft came next. We were all caught in this long campaign. I spent too much time gathering troops. Benji took over after. After several battles, it was the one who could resist fatigue the most that won. Which suprisingly was Yang. or maybe it was Liu. I hope it was Liu.

Megamall

I was out of practice. We were playing Tekken 5. Well, I just had one match and was just a spectator for the other matches. Watching their technique, Their strategies and combos, so I can practice during the summer break.

Shang

In the end, it was me, Liu and Khan. We did what we always did. Lose all our money in the arcade, calculate the food prices to see what could fit in our almost non-existing budget, went drinking(water)<----(Khan's comment that day), stared at shiny posters at the cinema and leave in our separate ways at 7:00 before we use up all our travelling money.

The MRT was a bitch. 1 passed just when I was going down the stairs. 2 passed by but I couldn't enter either of them because it was too crowded inside, and the one I finally entered stopped in the midddle of the track for 5 min. argh.

We were all separated, but we'll most probably regroup next school year.
