Never didst liberation ever feel
so potent, nor so well-received by the multitudes of those undergoing the
diurnal trauma of the preliminary examinations.

One didst say, however, “Who sums the yet unfractured shells of bipeds gallinaceous is apt to find his calculations woefully fallacious”.

In English, that means I’ve never felt so free in my life, and I don’t
want to count my chickens before they hatch.

Well, the first phase of the prelims is over, and praise God for that
=P Especially since he played a big part in getting me through it… Starting from last Friday, the English exam
was fine, and I hope I didn’t go off topic by writing about Elitism in such a
way that even I didn’t know what I was talking about…

Other than that, this week has been rather smooth-flowing, all except
for SS, which I kinda screwed up, but managed to get through nonetheless… E Maths sucked, but at LEAST I knew what I
was doing, and the Chem paper was fun, even though I lost a lot of marks
through carelessness already…

The best was easily today’s paper lah, hands down the biggest exam high
I’ve ever felt…  Yesterday was CAP, so
most sec 4s didn’t even go to school at all, but half had bio the next day, and
on top of that, a quarter of them had full Geog (while some others had elect
Geog)… So yesterday, I had a nice long 3-hour nap, before working on my Geog…

So from around 7pm onwards, I was just working on Malcolm Wong’s notes, and that’s all I
concentrated on; no textbook, no notes, not even a damn clue what to focus on…
And better yet, I only had 2 themes out of the four I was to study for… So naturally, that took me the whole night to
do.

I worked all the way until about 4.30am, and then went to bathe for a
little pick-me-up of my own =P A nice
hot shower did the trick right about then, so I did a little bio after that;
nothing much, mostly just flipping randomly through the book, and trying to
remember all my sec 3 and sec four stuff… Catch was, I didn’t remember much of the hints that he usually drops
here and there, all cuz I was so tired in class from studying late into the
night…

In my brother’s words, “Reaching unprecedented levels of unverifiable
productivity” indeed.

But anyway, I sorta knew that I wasn’t gonna score for Bio at the rate
I was going, so I decided to try and get a little sleep before the morning
came. Well, by then, it was a bit too
late for “a little sleep”… I had about enough
time for forty winks, literally, so I caught a 30-minute nap, and then I was
rudely awoken to the harsh reality of mental fatigue and near-exhaustion…

My only hope rested in the pierced hands of One who looked down from
above, and that ain’t no joke, cuz I really had no other choice by then… So I zombied my way to school, and then God sent
a great gift down from the heavens above; he sent Melvin Keenan Jason Loh
Qiren.

So we were talking about music, and then I mentioned Natasha
Beddingfield, so he asked me what her brother’s name was. I told him Daniel Beddingfield, and he was so
insistent (in his usual Melvin way) that it was David Beddingfield.

And I seriously burst out laughing in front of everyone there, you can
ask anyone who was there, especially Jared Monteiro, cuz I swear it was that
funny (and he was that stupid!)… So my
free entertainment went around asking ppl the same question, and kept on
getting the answer he didn’t wanna hear! And he was going on and on and on about how the whole world was against him and blahdeblahdeblah….

It was as if God had bundled a huge packet of laughter and sent it to
me right there and then… He seriously
kept on raving and ranting about a David Beddingfield, and that he was a
thousand and one per cent sure, et cetera, et cetera…

But anyway, that was a nice wake-up call for me, cuz I was totally
zonked from the previous night’s cramming, but Amen, I say to you, IT TOTALLY
WORKED.

My Geog went so smoothly, though my hand hurt
like hell, that I swear it was the hand of God (no pun intended) that was
working (cuz my Mum was praying in Church all the time), and better yet, I
actually knew, for once in my life, what I was doing!!!

Then came Bio, the sacrificial lamb that
everyone gave up for the sake of Geog… Who knew better than to make it easy peasy for all the Geog
students! Whoah, it was a dream come
true for Bio and Geog, the two killer subjects, to be on the same day, and to be
so do-able, that even I could make it through…

The high followed immediately after the second
Bio paper. Oh man, perfection never didst
come this close!

I came straight home, and now I’m
too high on caffeine to go catch up on my 12 hours of sleep that is SO waiting
for me =P

Give me liberty, or give me
death. Right now, I don’t need the
latter just yet  =P

PS If you’re wondering why Natasha Beddingfield came up, go check out her new single SOULMATE, it’s damn good!!!
