  Music Playlist at MixPod.com I believed when the clock struck 12 I would still remain gracefully posed in the centre of the ballroom . I believed the prince would take my hand and tell me he has chosen me . I believed it wasnt just a fantasy.. I guess I was delusional in the face of something so perfect ? because the dress turned back to rags my long hair fell down back to my shoulders with all the jewels gone.

Monday, June 07, 2010 10:28 PM Never did I know that carrying out the role of a CFA Proctor can be so tiring and boring. Until the virgin experience yesterday. Frankly speaking, if not for the remuneration that I will be able to get, I believe I would not have taken up this offer by RELC. Having to reach Expo by 6.45am, for the first time in my life, I woke up at 4.30am hoping to catch the first bus at 5.45am. However, it was not within my consideration that the earliest bus to Bugis on a Sunday is actually 6.11am. I began to pin my hope on the earliest bus at 5.48am to town but then it was not at all within my sight even at 5.55am. Just as I was getting fed up by the screwed up info on the notice board for bus timing schedule, bus 960 came to my rescue! And I was saved of committing an impulsive act to hail a cab after feeling desperate at that critical moment in time. And surprisingly, although I was still late, I managed to reach Expo before 7am. Less than one hour from my house to Expo, when a normal journey from West to East is at least 1.5hr during rush hours. Got a chance to be a ticket checker, and all we need to do is to check if their ticket is clean and neat with no writing and highlighting on it and if they have any prohibited items in possessions before they are granted entrance into the testing hall. And while every examination naturally forbids every candidate to bring in prohibited items such as mobile phones and bags into the exam hall, I can say that CFA exam is the strictest exam I get to know of. You are not allowed to bring in any plastic folder, no pencil case, no highlighter, no lead casing & not even the little cover for your eraser. What is this!!! Maybe cheating cases are getting more innovative that even rubber band has become one of the cheating tools that I heard of candidates using. And during the check, I witnessed many classic examples. One of them was a candidate actually returned halfway even though his ticket has been checked by us telling us that he did not want to get into the hall so early just so that he would not need to listen to the boring announcement. Ha, what a joke for the day. And oh ya, I bumped into LinXi! What a coincidence, so he was a candidate too, well, good luck to him! And after the role of a ticket checker, was assigned a section procter (simply call it an invigilator). Although it is deemed to be a simple task, but you can never imagine how mundane it was if you were to keep walking round row by row for 3 hrs just to check for any suspicious behaviour of candidates. Only when they raised their hands to get permission from us to go to the washroom that you had 'something' to 'act busy' about, otherwise, the rest of the time was just plain staring at candidate's IC for interesting names, passports and question papers. Unless you caught somebody cheating, then this will be a different story. And interestingly, I witnessed one classic example again. Just 10mins before the end of the exam, one candidate was busy shading the answer B for most, if not all of the questions. Not sure if he was stressed, but he looked nonchalant to me. Perhaps the paper was just too hard that he couldn't be bothered anymore. Couldn't help but to picture myself in his shoes since I already had 15 years of experience as an candidate. @_@ So much for the 11hrs of 'invigilating'. It was not so 'easy-earned money' job after all. J'étais fatigué!! 정말 피곤해요!! But then not too bad, at least there were consolations like the nasi-lemak lunch and curry puff for tea break. Haha. Taste good =] Well, if this was my first time, then there will be a second time, a third & etc..... See ya CFA- Dec 2010! 真。心话 |
