YO, PIRATE.
i don't make a good disclaimer-typer, so don't expect premade fill-in-the-blanks thingamajigs.
(that has to be the understatement of the century.) Rawflapuffles, just enjoy your day!

Revolution /11:45 PM

Liberated! Yeah, i can say that a kazillion times but strangely, i really don't feel the relief that i expected myself to experience early this year. Perhaps its really true that this initial surge of relief is quickly superseded by a feeling of anti-climax.

Anyway, engulfed by this sudden shroud of boredom and voidness in mundane tasks, i shall try to recount my arduous journey in the past few months leading up to the 'A' Levels examinations. Far as i can tell, I've been working hard the entire year. Heck, maybe the entire 2 years. To be prudent, I'll just consider this year. I've been studying conscientiously for every class tests, quizzes, exams for the first half of the year, albeit with a little entertainment thrown in here and there occasionally. That's still a acceptable form of lifestyle IMO. However, come June and thereafter, pace of studying started to pick up. Entertainment was slowly becoming a obsolete thing in my life.

Then, sometime in August marked the beginning of this insane period that i just went through, Intensive Studying( I don't know how else to name it lol). In preparation for the Prelims, studying was just the almost one thing in my life, clocking up to 8-10 hours daily during the study break. Its real tough, especially during the prelims when i slept an average of just 5 hours per night to mug, and i usually appear languished after a morning paper. Damn, health levels sure plummeted to below god knows what level..

Sure, after the prelims, took a small breather of a couple of days before Intensive Studying resumed during the September holidays. School resumed, yeah but it was tough as hell for me, yeah not the studies part as I've gotten used to it, but relationships with classmates. Loads of misunderstandings kind of wrecked me apart from them. I'm not trying to be extremely competitive, they think i am. I'm not trying to put studies over friends (Although putting it more aptly as prioritising studies is justified), they think i am. You get my drift..

So, my Intensive Studying reached its climax with the start of the 3 weeks long study break. Yeah, i think i had no entertainment except a couple of hours of TV or computer usage in TOTAL. Tough, hell no! Beyond tough.

Finally, the battle began on 10th November. Yeah it was a tough mathematics paper 1. Screw that. Hope i'll still be able to get an A. The first week was arguably the most miserable week in my life thus far. 4 days of exams, 5 hours of sleep daily, panadols, ginseng soup...lol you get what i mean... 2nd week was easier..3 days of exams..with a little respite in between. 4th week was the 2nd kickass week. Although there're only 2 days of exams, there's too insufficient time between it. I recall the night of Monday when i mugged till 2 am before quickly getting to bed, and having to wake up at abt 6.25am (thanks to dad who fetches me). Tuesday morning, day of the physics paper 3, i had to eat 2 panadols and bring a lozenge for sore throat. Down with a severe headache, i almost died (quite literally). Luckily, perhaps it's through god's help that my headache subsided just minutes before the paper started. The last week, last day, 30th November. I remembered going to school feeling anxious once again, probably feeling a lack of preparedness. Although i slacked a bit, i tried my best to prepare for Physics Paper 1. Please, 12 paper 1 should be enough?

Well there's all to this short reminisce. Over the span of this 1 month, it certainly felt like a year of battle to me. It was too long!!! Alas, I'm glad that i managed to pull through relatively unscathed. Indeed, this long journey will probably be one of the most memorable ones in my life, and although the outcome of this battle remains unknown(precariously so), I hope I'd be able to reap the benefits of all my hardwork.

Peace out.
