"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s you."
-Rita Mae Brown.
Hmmm... I don't have three best friends. But you could say the people I am pretty much closest to are Amrit, Su-lyn, Meera and Ding. While Ding retains some semblance of normalcy in her life, the other three are all nutcases. So am I.
God help us.
Anyhoo, today was the first day of the exams.
English was a bit worrying. I was memorising Social Studies right to the last minute, and found it REALLY HARD to just switch into creative-writing mode. On top of that, I'm better at writing stories (a fact that some of you would grimly agree with) not stupid factual essays. I finally wrote a recount for the first question (What was a memorable place you visited blah blah?) but i feel the ending was WAAAYYY to corny.
The letter was okay, but which one did you guys agree with? The Travel Package or Study Package? I agreed with the fact that she should go for the travel package and almost everyone I spoke to chose the other option. Still there's no hard and fast rules about which one you should choose, right? As long as you provide valid points which- shit there's the catch. The validity of the points. :S
Out of the chapters I studied for SS all three came out for essay questions. So, I was pretty much alright. Not only that, one of the questions I chose was almost identical to the one Ms. Chia had given us as an example, and the answer was the LAST THING i read before entering the exam hall. So, I got my questions for Social Studies, but since I have downright failed three out of the five tests this year... let's wait and see...
[Update]
SECOND DAY OF THE EXAMS AND I'M SURE I JUST FAILED GEOG.
This freaking sucks. I couldn't finish the paper, and already surely lost TWELVE marks out of 50 (including the ones I couldn't finish). I'll obviously lose like 20 marks more, so I'm pre-tty screwed. (starts slicing wrists frantically)
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
Oh well, shall concentrate on Lit to pull up my Humanities grade (but I'll probably fail that too)
Just to add something cheerful to this blog post.
Mommy, Mommy!, can I wear a bra now? I’m 14! Shut up Stanley.
Mommy, Mommy!, are you sure this is how to learn to swim? Shut up son and get back in the sack!

Mommy, Mommy!, the kids at school call me a werewolf! Shut up son and go brush your face.
Mommy, Mommy! Daddy’s on fire!Shut up son and get the marshmallows!
Mommy, Mommy!, Daddy’s going out! Shut up son and pour some more petrol on him.
Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to see Niagara falls! Shut up and get back in the barrel!
Mommy, Mommy! What’s a delinquent child? Shut up son. Light your cigarette, drink your whisky and deal those cards.
