Ludicrous

Woke up as usual at 7am today so I could be on time for the
invigilation at RELC. Reached there at 8:20am but didn't really
wake up till the break ended at 12 noon.

There was this lady from the Netherlands who took the exams
today. Here's a snippet from my encounter with her:

Lady enters examination room with a steaming cup of coffee,
which is expressively prohibitted by the examination authorities;
Only plain water is allowed to minimise any damages (ie to candidate's
time etc). I move to intercept her.

Me: Excuse me, I'm sorry but coffee is not allowed in the examination
room.

Lady: *disbelieving look* Coffee's not allowed?!?

Me: Yes ma'am. It isn't allowed.

Lady: Why? Look at all those people bringing their bottles in...

Me: Ma'am, only plain water is allowed in the examination venue.

Lady: *pissed look* What's wrong with coffee?

Me: Ma'am, we can't give you additional time if you spill your coffee,
and other candidates will be affected by the spillage.

Lady: *disbelieving look* I'm not going to spill my coffee...

**Duh...who buys coffee with the intention of spilling it? She doesn't
seem to understand that accidents do happen...**

Me: Ma'am, I'm really sorry but the examination rules state that coffee
is not allowed in the examination venue. Only water is allowed. I'm
sorry but I cannot allow you to bring your coffee to your seat.

Lady: But there's water in there....

Me: *starting to get frazzled* Well ma'am, the water IS allowed. If you
could seperate the coffee powder and the other ingredients, I'll allow
you to bring the water to your seat.

Lady walks away, gulping down the coffee as she heads for the dustbin.

Heh...sometimes when people are ridiculous the only way is to pay them back
in kind.

Had lunch with Aunt Sophine & Melinda & Uncle John. Wanted to intro them
to the hot plate at Lucky Plaza but...the stall isn't there anymore :(

Headed for JE through a light 'sunshine' shower. Unhealthy.

She got chased out of the library....security guard said she couldn't study there.
Then study where? GeeZ. Brought her for lunch and back to my place so she
can study here...which is what she's doing now.

Dunno if I should go for Kumar's wedding tomorrow...*bueh gian*
Riding hard, fast, safely AND taking a few corners.
