It has been a tiring week.
Today i woke up at 7+ late and continued to sleep... My father and brother was constantly asking me whether i have school. Kept saying yes yes yes but never got up until 8am. My whole body was aching like shit after yesterday's training..
I have been late for many times this term, or the whole year.. So much so that i think Mrs Leo is tired of receiving the same sms everyday
"Hi Mrs Leo, im in school"
Damn, i hate to be late actually.
First you wake up and realise you are going to be late AGAIN and comptemplate whether to take the taxi instead. Taking taxi ensures your arrival in school and hence you wont exceed the 3 lates a term rule. But since i have been late countless time, it makes no point to take the taxi. And its not cheap, especially after peak hour was brought 30 minutes earlier to 7, all taxis before 7 are surprisingly changing shifts early in the morning or went hiding at god-knows-where.
Second, when you arrive at school late, you have to consider how to get inside school without letting your EZlink be confiscated.
Plan A: Works for 0730-0800
When you are just that little late, first curse the bus for not moving that few minutes faster. Then, DO NOT alight at the busstop outside school. Recently, teachers have gotten smarter and has been reported to walk to the busstop and catch innocent stupid students waiting for the right moment to walk in. You never know when the teachers will get smart enough to walk to coro, but that is where most people wait. For me, i go to the toilet in Coro and sometimes get something to eat at 7eleven. Plan your timing well and you should have time to walk over to the chinese high in-gate and walk in from there at 8am. The chances of getting caught walking that way is 0 for me. Then, go to your classroom and meet your classmates.
Plan B: Works when you are not going to arrive early and feels like sleeping.
Continue sleeping. Skip the first lesson of the day and go for the 9am one. This means you probably have alot of time before school and you can get a filling breakfast.
I have been deploying Plan B these days and i have missed Chem and Maths tutorials. It sucks to know how much you are lagging behind others. So heres my new plan. It works everytime everywhere regardless of smart or stupid teachers.
Plan C:
Sleep early,
Awake early,
Arrive in school early
Study happily.
=)
And ya thirdly, you have no energy to study anymore after all these trouble early in the morning.
I have plenty of tutorials to catch up before the promos in one months time. I guess it wont be hard to be promoted but I dunwan to do so badly again. I really hope that i at least put in my best and not get S/U for any subjects. Then i will be able to study at least 1 H3. =)
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics.
and damn, i know no shit for any of the subjects. I guess its time to do something. I have been sleeping in lectures/tutorials and not trying tutorials at home. I duno i am 过动儿 or have short attention-span, but i feel uneasy paying attention to lectures. And when i reach home, i either spend the time sleeping or wasting time on the comp.
Now, i have GP remedial every wednesday. Then i have peer tutor programme once a week. Guess i should stop whining and thank the school for forcing me to use my time wisely and study. But damn, i still feel cheated to have to go for GP remedials.
Work hard. I should spend my time wisely now. Sleep early and resist temptations to sleep in school. Resist temptation to talk. Resist temptation to stop paying attention. I dont have much time to waste for new topics especially when i still need time to revise the old topics.
Forget about other problems
Study should be on top priority now.
Persevere and be motivated.

Theres a cockroach in the living room. And its those FLYING kind. Fly and walk everywhere like this is its house.
I should lock myself in my room before it scare the shit out of me again.
Then i can do my work.
Thank you cockroach.
Bye.
