english proficiency test

started my day at 10.20am this morning. mom woke me up and steamed 'bakchang' for me and i emptied the remaining contents in vitasoy milk carton.
got an email before 11 from the admission office of ISS, telling me to come down earlier at 11am tmr (2hours ahead of orientation start) for an english assesment. i panicked! "LIAO!"
so i called her and she said its compulsory to gauge our english standards as its part of their admission procedure. okay! well i've been to 2 international schools so far and i never kena this kinda thing before. but nvm lah go and see lor. i called jon to come along (he has to take it anyway, might as well do it today and leave tmr free apart from the orientation).
lalalalala, we met at plaza sing at 2ish where i had a quick bite. shit man china people everywhere... arghhhh. 
a "12min bus ride" became 28mins. and we arrived at iss' gate 15mins before 3pm. KNN it was a long way up. about a few hundred steps to the top of the silly hill where the school sits. (i like the environment, school's a former ww2 british outpost btw, hence its quite a bit of history to it)
so we did our english assesment (pour GRADE 12s). i PENG-ed... big time.
Q54) the nurses and ______ work in a hospital, their job is to cure patients and make them happy.
(i made the options up, cuz i forgot)...
a) laywer b) fisherman c) doctor d) policeman e) something else i cannot rmb...
i pity the koreans or non native speakers doing this... i just thought it was rather funny doing this english proficiency test after sending the school's registrar emails to apply to this school. not that i have anything against it but really it was rather redundant and a waste of time afterall i am a native english speaker. i wonder wot will those angmos with damn pro english think about it? 
then we had to do an english poem where i died-ed. all gone rusty. good game.
okie tmr orientation day. we're not playing games please...
if got zhar borr - i stay
if got no zhar borr - i ghay ghay laosai and go cycleworx.
yayyy EE draft is only due end of september!!! YAM SENGGG!
