It's seriously frightening to think that the upcoming exams determine my entire future, job(s), even respect.

Well, I'm studying like I've never studied before, but I still wonder if it's enough? Looking back on the past few weeks, it feels pretty impressive, because I've been studying every day. I've found that I actually like studying! It's actually enjoyable once you get into it. I felt sorry when Night Study came to an end at 9.30pm on Friday night, I wanted to study more. When you get absorbed, you can't stop. Only when you get absorbed. It's like an addiction. My body feels so tired, but my mind is desperate for more. Then, it's up to me to decide whether to let my body rest or push it past the limits. Usually, I take pity on my body and let it rest, because the poor thing can't work when it's tired. The mind takes in nothing, and I start panicking because I suddenly can't understand what I'm looking at. It's like a whole lot of words I can't string together to form a sentence.

The last day of school (10th Oct) was calm. Strange word I'm using to describe it.
Our teachers were very sweet. Mrs Chow taught me Accounts at the teacher's desk for two periods in the morning, Ms Yip told us that teaching us has been a pleasure, Mrs Khoo said we've made her life miserable, but haven't forced her to quit her job yet, so that's good. Then, she gave us Kit-Kats and lollipops. I love the way she jokes. What's so funny about it is her straight face when she does.

I got back a Math paper I did a few days ago. I failed, of course. I wasn't even supposed to do the paper, but I told her I wanted to try it.
I got 26/80 for it, and she wrote there, "Keep trying!".
I didn't feel too bad about it, because I've mastered some things through my 2 weeks of Math revision, like how to factorise, and how to do simultaneous eqns. I just have to find a way to remember all those bloody formulas!

After the lesson, a group of kids stayed behind because they wanted to take individual photos with Mrs Khoo. I asked myself, "Why not?" So I said I wanted one, too. They made me go first, with Chew holding the camera.
"Snap!!!"
There's my inspiration for 'O's.
