Kelly and Shi Qi are queens.

We are queens of carelessness which makes us the champions of foolishness and ridiculosity.

The Clitoria flower:

It is insect-pollinated with nectar guides that lead insects deep into the flower, to reach the nectaries to obtain nectar. This forces the insect to brush against the anther and pollen grains can cling on to the insect's legs. Its large petal serves as a landing platform for insects pollinating the flower. Yada yada all the well memorized points which guarantee us at least 4 marks out of the 6 marks.

What Kelly and ShiQi wrote:
One example is the clitoris flower.

Well done! If you think it is just a simple, innocent little spelling error, you probably have no idea what clitoris means.

Web definition of clitorisA small, erect body of the female genitalia, partially hidden by the labia. It is highly sensitive, and can be a source of sexual pleasure and female orgasm. It is homologous to the penis of the male.

Definitely NOT the name of a flower, neither should it appear on an exam script, especially Nanyang Girls' High School, future deciding End of Year's Biology 50%-of-overall-grades paper. Clitoria! Not clitoris!!!!! I was praying hard during the paper that I will not write the wrong word with the wrong meaning and lo and behold, the flower is clitoria! Stupid me, I shouldn't have listened to Eminem the night before.

Anyway, Kelly wins because she was unaware of the meaning of clitoris, or the existence of such a word, and she ended up committing the same mistake I did. She is the best. We spent a while discussing the possible consequences of our little spelling error.

1. Sandy Tan marks that question and laughs at our scripts, worst case scenario: she may show our scripts to the whole level during paper checking, transforming us into the laughing stock of biology students with a mistake that will possibly go down in history.

2. O Chee marks our unfortunate scripts, giggles and place it in her hall of fame of stupid errors made in EOYs, placing it at the top with both our full names next to it.

3. Chen Lin marks our paper and laughed so hard that something happened, Kelly and I are both interviewed by the Biology Times.

See, we are delirious. The long studying hours and the ridiculous exam papers have taken a toll on us all. Human geography tomorrow. I think I'm getting a fever soon.

Gah. And the night before Math Paper 1, I dreamt that I committed murder by decapitating some Nanyang girl who I don't know in the underground car park and her spirit came to haunt me. The fear was so so real. I dreamt of this stranger with long hair hovering outside my room. Is this an omen? True emotions? Or just plain crazy?

HANG. ON. EXAMS. WILL. BE. OVER.
