Got up at 4pm today, and discovered that I've lost $2.5k from some stupid fund my money is in ICURSEYOUAMERICA (& DBS).

Wawawee my mom has stopped smoking (or is trying to anyway). 2 weeks and I didn't even notice haha but not my fault I just assumed she had smoked when she was out. Okay so hi friends no more smoking at my house she says it'll make her want to (duh).

And I had dreamt she had stopped smoking! As in, during the period where she had and hadn't told me. FEMALE INTUITION BABY or ESP whichever...

Spent the whole of last night playing Sims and trying to find something to spend my money on online. 

Next paper is Chem MCQ on Friday. Chemistry P2 yesterday sucked ): The first 39 marks were very doable but the last question which was 21 marks was oh-so-horrible like for 10marks I had absolutely NO CLUE as to what the answer could be sob sob.

8 more days from tomorrow!

Mother: "What's nice at McDonald's?"

Sophie: "Everything there is nice!!!!"

Mother: "You know when you were younger your only input on what house to buy was that it must be next to McDonald's..."

In 24hours all I've eaten is half a pizza. But I'm not very hungry. Every once in a while I look at my wrist and amaze myself at how thin it has become.

Feels like exams are over! But only in the sense that I just rot online alot more than usual, going out is still a no-no. I must at least ASPIRE to study. 10 more days to freedom from tomorrow onwards.

Chemistry Paper2 tomorrow. In retrospect, it's hard to fathom that I may never touch some of these subjects again. Like Math. I don't dislike it nor do I like it. But to think that I will never have to learn it again is scary.

Oh I was once offered to teach this little girl conversational French. Now I have no idea why I didn't take up the offer besides that at that point I was incredibly lazy. Especially when my mom just told me that they were going to pay me $100 AN HOUR WTF OMG.

Today shall be a good day. I bought 15bars of ice-cream and ordered Pizza Hut. I shall curl up in front of tudou.com and watch movies I've already watched and think about Chemistry revisions later.

That's Charmer the Unicorm.

Hihihi! 6 Papers down this week woohoo I'm almost done, I can start thinking about Post-ALevel outfits!

Papers so far have been alright-ish like not easy but not extraordinarily hard either. Maybe it's cause I didn't wear my lucky panties at all this week.

But most importantly, everyone thought roughly the same as me about our papers so at least I won't be disadvantageously bell-curved. (a.k.a everyone else did very well so the minimum mark for an A grade changes from 70 to say, 80, but for you the paper sucked so it means you're going to do even worse than usual)

I've only 4 papers left spread over 2 weeks, 2 of which are multiple choice (MCQ). And they're split into one core-one MCQ per week so I've like 3 days to study for each paper. Feeling fairly relaxed now, I can finally catch up on my sleep! I've been averaging like 3hours a night now...

Chloe: I'm going to zzz. Need a fresh brain in times of desperation.

Sophie: Haha fresh but empty brain?

Age old debate. Better a prepared but very tired brain or inadequately prepared but alert?

I can't believe I will never have to step into the MOE Language Centre (MOELC) for the rest of my life. 4 never-ending hours spent there each week (when I decide to go, that is). But I've been there 6 years, longer than both my secondary and JC education! So in spite of the MOELC not exactly being my most favourite place... there's still this sense of loss. Of losing something you have been so accustomed to for the past 6 years. 

ALevels mark the end of my formal education. I'm somewhat frightened that the time has come to realise my departure from mainstream education where I'm molly coddled by familiar classrooms and faces. Soon I will no longer don a uniform and will have to make important choices that may decide the rest of my life.

USA ELECTIONS!
OBAMA PLEASE. Harvard graduate with magna cum laude honours. Plans to end the war in Iraq, tax breaks for the lower and middle income groups, more taxes for the wealthy (whereas McCain wants to give the rich tax breaks), calls to address environmental concerns...

.....And other the other hand there's Sarah Palin. Who went to multiple colleges, spending only about a term/semester at each.

How can anyone vote for McCain when they see Palin beside him?! Snippet from the Straits Times:

"Mrs Sarah Palin told a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicholas Sarkozy during a prank call that 'maybe in eight years', she will be President."

Oh the horror. And how on earth can she say something like this in the first place? Presumptuous/hopeful much. 

McCain himself is alright I guess, if I believed in Republican ideals that is. But a campaign riddled with controversies, (somehow mostly related to Palin) like a wardrobe budget of US$150000 on Palin when the USA is in an economic crisis, power abuse to fire xxx person and the list goes on. And what kind of President relies on smearing his opponent's campaign to garner votes?
