Ohwell. Its 2200 now and its first EOY paper Chinese p1 tomorrow (and I did not study a lot for zuowen) and i spent the whole day on geog. So I have one last essay to memorise and three SAQs to prepare. Ugh.

So, I guess this is it. A daunting task in front of me, what I've set out all year to get- will I get it?

I hope there isn't any mistakes.

"A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him." ~David Brinkley
It's just that... Right now, I feel that the bricks are really making me fall from the steps of the staircase that I've climbed.

But all we did was say hello.

HEY.I just did the craziest thing ever. I reviewed all my fb friends and actually unfriended all those whom I did not know, one by one.
What pisses me off is that when I painstakingly did all that, there are still 705 friends. I think I removed a hundred people at least. 700+ feels like it's a lot to me...
Anyway, it's the last day of the holidays, I feel dreadful for the next day. Jiayou to myself for the final lap of year two. Highlights of this holiday...

  • Went to MBS with Weiqin, Lily and Michelle because it's Michelle's belated birthday gift. Totally turned into full-tourist that day. It was an awesome day :)
  • Masterclass at school, Mr Velasco had certainly delivered choral skills in a fun way.
  • Music Recital SK
  • Sha gu niang
  • ...
And yes, that's about it... nothing much. Sha gu niang is actually pretty darn good.

All my weekdays were spent mugging at my favorite coffee shop until I'm kinda... well, broke from spending $6++ for a cup of Ice-blended every time to get a seat. So I headed to macs in the remaining days and although their drinks are much cheaper ($1.80 for the smallest cup of "hot choc" you knooooo) but their hot chocolate... what I practically drank was warm milk with cocoa powder blotted in layer of foam. Seriously. Now I know why I should spend $6.50 at bux for a mug of classic hot choc because it's really worth the price. The table leg was also really shaky and how I sat throughout 6 hours was alternate between legs to press and hold down the nearest table leg T__T
Oh well. Bye my holidays...
Wait, what? What holidays?

Deer in the Headlights

HEY.

IT'S THE SEPTEMBER HOLI- ... Wait, what? What holidays?

Got holiday meh?

Exactly my sentiments. What is supposedly a time to recharge and catch up on studies for some ended up as a time to rush work instead. I'm not complaining about homework, of course not. Homework is essential. But it is seriously overboard when you are given things such as... what, three content-heavy essays? Or when you make us self-study a whole topic, when so many of us did not do well for this term's test? Homework is ok, I shall stress again. But what happens when we have barely a month to study whole year's worth of content for the biggest test ever? This means that it is essential to revise as well. When you add revision, homework, cca training/pracs and one week together, what you get is just a brain inplosion.
