Portfolio Exam

So today I went to college to sit for my portfolio exam, in which I don't really understand why I should take it at the first place.
Got up at 8.00 a.m. and left the house at 9.00 a.m., thanks for to my super cool dad who dropped me right outside of the college's building.

So, I met another new classmate, probably named Mellisa (well, didn't quite hear her name when she said her name though, sorry new classmate!), and she is also super nice, and she didn't take Arts for SPM too, because she was in the Science Stream, just like me and we sat next to each other.
We headed to the exam class, just to meet our Drawing Fundamental's lecturer, Mr. Tang who seemed to love to sing, and a senior, whose name I don't know but surprisingly, he is a Malay.
We took our seats and waited for the exam to start, which got postponed for 30 minutes due to this one Chinese boy (who awesomely used Lollipop song by Big Bang & 2NE1 as his ringtone) coming late.

Surprisingly, the exam required me to do two things ; one was to copy all those italic alphabets contiously, each must be written in two sides, left and right. It got my hands cramp, due to the writing of 56 alphabets non-stop and the ultra cold air conditioning in that drawing lab.
The second question was the hardest part - I have to sketch two characters of Upin & Ipin like how it was sketched on the question paper by the lecturer on an A3 paper, completed with the sketching, shading, shadowing and stuffs like that.
When I saw the two seniors who also took the exams with us, I became scared. They are trained in doing stuffs like that!

So the exam went for 3 hours, started at 10.30 a.m. and I managed to end at 1.10 p.m.
I sent in my papers and it got marked right at that time but before me, there was this one Chinese girl who did very well with the alphabets thingy. She got almost full mark while I ruined my first page by getting lots of 0.
But when the lecturer saw my drawing, he said that it was good, perhaps because I worked twice hard on the shading, until all my fingers were smeared in pencil's traces though to me it looked like a piece of crap and got all messed up.
Yeah, I used some tecniques I saw on TV and my friends did - and it paid up.
I got full mark for the drawing, but I screwed up with the alphabets again.
So in the end, I ended up with 91/100 marks and I was also the first semester one's student to left, after the two seniors left of course and I felt bad I left my new found classmate alone!
Sorry new friend!

It was quite thankful, knowing I could do it if I worked hard on it.
It was hard to draw on a drawing table, slightly slanted and the paper was fixed with tapes - I am not used to draw in that condition.
But I am thankful I did it.
I just hope I could better next time.
I heard from the seniors that we'll have to draw on large scale during our semester two.

On the other hand, another great news, my Rock Prince DVD had finally arrived, completed with the poster.
No, I didn't order it from YESASIA, I ordered it through a website and paid up through bank-in which cost me about RM127 including the shipping and courier fees (which was way more cheaper than ordering through YESASIA and had to pay up in USD) and that explained why it came so damn late.
Anyway, even my mom hyped up about that DVD, we watched it together like crazy fangirls.
