Its all in the matter of linguistics

Today's exam is science, well, for those who actually took the time to read these posts, u will know that i am having my SPM exam, and im 4 subjects to go till im free, so to speak...

Anyways, today, i made a groundbreaking, astonishing, unbelievable discovery in my science paper. I tried to calm down and not to laugh at this joke, i thought that its a comedic punchline of sorts, but i actually read this at the back of the exam question paper, now, mind you, we were once under the british rule and i was like, damn son, u got to be kidding me on this...

Its not an optical illusion, it actually said on the paper....

10. Detach Section C from the question paper. Tie the helaian tambahan together with this question paper and hand in to the invigilator at the end of the examination.

now, concentrate on the statement, and concentrate even harder at the helaian tambahan bit, they managed to put in invigilator (which is a word i learned today, and thats the truth), but u cant find a word for helaian tambahan??? what??? There are words such as, 'extra answering sheets' or just plain old 'extra answering paper', but they actually put there helaian tambahan...

comedic stuff right there...

anyways, this is just a examination anecdote, nothing much, im not attacking the system, im just saying that its refreshing to see something funny like this, lightens up my mood and lowers the stress level...

gotta watch what i say...

big brother is watching...

till next time...
