School Assessment

I just came back from an assessment today. I took an English and a Mathematics examination for approximately two hours. We went to a school nearby Bathurst subway station. Education system here in Canada is very different from Singapore. You have to have a high school certificate here in Canada for you to move on to University. I could go to college if I choose to. But, I want to obtain a degree from a University. The examination was nothing from what I expected. I didn't think the examination would be like that.

Before I end this post, I'm going to share my experience with the first token I had here. If you don't have the TTC card or metro pass, meaning monthly pass or weekly pass, you have to use tokens which cost $3 each. Now, my dad bought tokens for my whole family and we had to insert the token at the coin hole (if that is what you call it) just beside the place where you can swipe the metro pass. But, there was a bin just in front of it saying "adult drop fare $3 here". Noticing the sign and being the first one who dared to try out the "new experience", I took the initiative to drop the token at the bin. MY BIGGEST MISTAKE! I wasn't supposed to do that... My uncle was like "Nooooo!" and then the rest were like "whoooo!" For that, my mum got pretty upset because I was so "careless". I felt really bad I wasted $3 that I did not talk for the rest of the day. May be that was the main reason I did not have the mood for anything at all. I mean that could be a meal, you know? Anyway, when I see that "mystical" coin, I can't forget that moment.

I miss everything about my life in Singapore. I miss my guitar. I miss playing music. I miss my composing songs. I miss my friends. I miss my clothes. I miss my shoes. Most importantly, I miss... You...

  2. Hmmmm... give away my stuffs? I don't think so. When my dad comes back, He'll be sending them over here. Specially my guitar! NO WAY!

    The assessment was very manageable if there is such a word in the dictionary.
