The people around me are changing too. My father is being so nice by asking me to look out for a computer and also offering to get me something for my results. Sometimes when you are faced with such benefits, you just cannot decide on what is best.

I wish that this feeling can be with me forever.

Nothing much to talk about already.

Now that the examinations are over, I guess I am expected to concentrate on band again. Not long ago, the teacher-in-charge called me and talked to me for more than 5 minutes. Thankfully I have free incoming calls during the day. I will go mad within the next few days trying to find suitable people to make up the new committee and it sure won't be an easy thing to do.

I got so many things to do but I can't wait to find an excuse to get away from it. I am not used to normal school life anymore. Why must it be so difficult to go into the exam mode and back into normal mode?

I walked home from school after the Geography paper today. It is not because I have forgotten to bring my wallet or that there is no value in my ez-link card, but it is simply because I had nothing better to do. Walking home is quite fun, especially when I have walked all the way to Bedok Reservoir and see someone just alighting from the bus. It shows that buses are not as efficient as legs. It took me around 50 minutes to walk home. I think that it is quite fast considering that I took a longer way home walking along the reservoir.

Band Members, please take note that there will not be any band practice this Friday, but band room will be open after school. Closing time will depend on Friday's attendance. Band practice will resume this Saturday. For more information about the reporting time, please refer to your section leaders, earliest, Thursday.

I want to reemphasize that exam is over.

Today's Chinese paper is better to be forgotten than to be remembered. Out of the 5 blanks that I had to fill in, I could only guess 2, and both are wrong. There goes 10 marks from the 80-mark paper. Another 15 marks flew away at the sentence construction section. I did not know the meaning of a single word. That means that all my efforts of revising for this paper has gone to waste. Nothing I have learnt through the revision has come into use. This just makes me not want to study for the coming 'O' levels that will be on the last Monday of this month.

4 More papers to go before there is finally a day where I am given a break. After that, I don't think I will have much time to do what I want to do. CCA will resume, meaning that there will be much to discuss on the new committee and the June holiday band practices. With the horrid 'O' levels so close, I don't think I will have much time to relax or laze around anymore.

Examinations coming to an end is something that wish would be immediate, but yet dread and hope it will never come.

I think I lack the motivation to study for Chinese. I still have not started on my revision yet. Now, I have all the way from 1A to 4A and 128 idioms to study.

Enjoy getting irritated by the midi playing.

I am still left with 5 more papers for the next week. Chinese is on Monday, then all the 4 paper 1s will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully the Chinese paper will not be another killer.

I should start studying for the Chinese paper soon.

Tomorrow I will only be having one paper, Chemistry paper 2 at 11am. I think I really need the break after studying for 4 papers in 2 days. It is getting a little worse than normal school days. I think that E maths paper 2 was easy, apart from some questions that required more understanding than knowing how to answer or not. I hate it when I do not understand the question and answer the question wrongly when I know how to get the answer, if the question was phrased differently. I don't wish to talk about Social Studies. I totally forgot the answering techniques and I used my own structure to answer the questions. Today I had Core Geography paper 2 and my Elective Literature paper. I think I skipped one question for Geography and did not remember to go back and answer it. As for Literature, I answered the questions I have never in my life attempted before. I did the essay question and the unseen poem. I couldn't be bothered to think because I was having a bad running nose and I couldn't seem to concentrate. The unseen prose seemed "un-understandable" and I made no effort to try to understand it after reading it through only once. Hopefully the Chemistry paper 2 tomorrow will not be too complex.

I am not doing much to aid in my recovery although I want very much to get that running nose fixed. I shall get back to studying after my dinner.

After that, I went to Mavis at Parkway Parade for extra lessons on vectors. The session wasn't too productive but it has helped me recap some of the things I have forgotten. I had piano lesson after that, and I think that my teacher is very disappointed with my playing. I can even feel that my playing is dead. I get bored listening to my playing as I get towards the middle section of my pieces. It seems like I am dragging and dragging the whole piece.

I had tuition again after my piano lesson. I managed to complete a E Maths paper 1 in the 2 hours. This is the third paper 1 I am doing. I should start doing some paper 2s before the E Maths paper 2 on Monday.

I feel like having another night jog later on.

At least there I have some form of encouragement to keep me going. I got my first A for Social Studies in one and a half years, and I got close to full marks for one of the structured questions. I would have gotten an even better score if I had answered the first question more properly. The funny thing was that the comment for my first answer was "poor answering style", and the comment for my second answer, "you do have the style".

I was just telling myself to give up on my combined humanities the night before. Now, I think I have changed my mind. Since I can do quite well for Social Studies, why not do my best for Literature? Hopefully this is enough to motivate me to work even harder for the mid-year papers.

This is enough for today. I will update again when I feel that I have done enough work.

The mid-year paper for Music was quite 'doable' with some very huge exceptions like the listening on the set work. The extract was only about 8 bars long and lasted for less than a minute, and there were only 2 playings, and we were required to list down the instruments that came in, in sequence, and the changes in key. There were other funny things that happened too, only that I will not mention because I want to sleep earlier.

From tomorrow, I will make sure that I bring home something to revise.
