"Mom,I just can't sleep!"I woke my mom up at 2am. I slept at 11pm but woke up at 2am. I was too nervous for the test. Some people say that it was horrifying difficult. Although I know the chance of getting selected is slim, I decided to give it my best shot.
I recall a few days ago, Miss Tan, my form teacher announced the results of the GEP 1st round. I was too shocked to respond as I did not expect it to be released so early. I prayed hard that I could pass the test. As Miss Tan called out the 3rd name,"Yew Weng," imagine my happiness when I received my test slip. I grinned from ear to ear as I thought how happy my parents would be. My father came home early to congratulate me. I thought that this was one of the happiest day ever.
Let us continue. I slept with my mom that night and I woke up at 6 am. At last, I got to eat my breakfast as I was already starving. I ate dumpling for breakfast. At 7.30 am, we left our house and waited for my friends. Ryan's father is driving Hao Ming and me to the test centre. Ryan's fathers car has two televisions and 7 seats. It was also very relaxing. We played and talked throughout our journey.
10 minutes went by, we reached the test centre. The school was rather big and quite clean. Our invigilator led us to the class rooms, then he gave out the English paper. Part 1 was not as difficult as part 2. After the test, it was our break time. The duration was 20 minutes which is the same as our school. After we came back, the General Ability test paper was given out. The paper was more difficult than the English paper. All of a sudden I felt dizzy, and before I could do anything, I vomited. I think the dumpling I ate was not fresh and caused indigestion. I told the invigilator that I was alright and continued with my test after I had cleaned up. Luckily, I had enough time to finish the paper. I heaved a sigh of relief after the paper.My friends and I went to Lot 1 to have our lunch.
It is a very good experience today. I get to see many students from other schools. This GEP thing also boost my confidence. I might not be able to make it to the gifted programme but at least I had tried my best. I really had a whale of time despite my vomiting.
