"Some students have complained that many questions in the two tests were the same as those in the past years' questions."

That was from my Operations Management lecturer, who posted this in the annoucement. I am not putting the whole thing here to spare myself from unnecesary trouble. But anyhow, this is stupid. I can't believe there are students that actually complained about this. If there are many questions from past yrs papers but u didn't know about it, then you should blame urself for being stupid enough for not getting it. And blame urself for not being hardworking enough to get it. It should not be blamed on the lecturers who set it again (unless the questions are outdated, which I don't think so in this case) or the students who managed to get it. Stop pushing the fault on somebody else and when actually it's ur own stupidity on ur part.

Yes, I did manage to get the papers, thanks to ah boon. But I did not get any past yr papers for MA where almost everyone of my frens had them. Imagine how I felt when I heard so many people from left, right and centre saying that they got A or A+ for the test because they studied the papers when I studied my butt off till late at night and still did not get such gd grades. But I am not blaming other people or the lecturers for setting past questions. Rather, I am kicking myself in the butt for not thinking of getting it.

So there, sore losers. Start blaming yourself instead of other people.

And I hate it when people just start comparing answers so intensively right in front of u when they themselves knew that they did very well. I know it's hard to control this habit because I lapsed into this routine from time to time, but I am trying to stop. What I hate it that the person just don't stop doing it when u dropped hints so much so that they could not be more blunt.

Next time, listen. I am trying to take this advice for myself too.

Signing out.
