Honestly I didn’t think that the above saying holds any truth until yesterday’s fateful incident happened.

My coursemate and I was caught during Statistics mid term exam yesterday night. He was trying to make out some number with BOTH his hands (i think it was a number 11, not that it matters) and ask me for the answer to that question. Unfortunately, the moment his hands formed that number 11, the lecturer immediately came over and took down his name and student card ID. I was quite relieved until he turned to my side and took mine too!! I mean what did I do? Damn..

So spent the whole night thinking bout the possible outcomes of that event and I was prepared to fail that paper. So anyway decided not to sit around guessing what will happen to us, we went and see him this morning. Waited in front of his office bout half an hour or so.

First question that was thrown at us : Did you guys try to communicate??

Fren : Yea… abit.. wanna ask 1 question

Lect : I’ll respect you if you didnt try to copy even tho you don’t know. But since both of you came and admit your mistakes, I’ll let you guys off this time. no more next time. And as for another guy, as long as he doesn’t show up her and apologise, he’ll get a 0.

Woah… talk about honesty… seriously didn’t expect that

Was expecting him to fail me for that test, and I can prepare myself for finals to cover this failure. Honesty does pay off. Good thing we didn’t try to deny it. No more hand gestures anymore, learn from mistake Hock Lai.
