My kind and cheerful cleaner Grace knows that I am going to have my final paper tomorrow.
So today when I met her at the corridor, she asked me, 'Qian, so are you planning to relax your mind today?'
Relax my mind??!
HAHAHAHA.
NOOOOOOOOO! obviously not.
There are people who finish all the readings one week earlier, and 'internalise' them way before exams, so that they can have a mind rest on the last day.
Sadly, I am not one of them.
Lol.

is this a dream or what
maybe because of the exam stress, i dreamed a lot lately.
and in a very weird way, i dreamed about ordinary daily chores.
like brushing teeth, going to town, receiving mum's phone call, talking to tzuch.
till the point that i am confused about what really happened, and what did not.
did i run out of toothpaste?
did i talk to mum that day?
did i eat chicken for dinner?
to be honest, i am not sure at all.
so if i did promise to do something, and i forgot about it.
forgive me.
i am temporarily shut down for conscious actions.
currently still in my la-la land. hopefully it won't turn out to be a horrible nightmare tomorrow and thursday.

examine examination
someone please tell me that exams are not at all important.
and it's absolutely fine to walk into the exam hall with my mind totally blank.
it's just a tiny little part of our life, and no one cares about it really.
all i need to do is to attend the exams, to write something (anything), and to walk out.
and then i deserve a good rest and a very nice break.
health matters most. happiness matters even more.
who cares about grades?
oh please. please. please.

Time is money...
It's time to get a new watch!!
God. This is getting worse.
My cravings for fashion items have gone from pieces of garments, which are still affordable, to the more luxurious watches.
OK. Do I need a watch?
Immediate response: Yes I do!!!!
Rationalized response: No, I don't need a watch. I have skinny wrists, so watches look ugly on me.
Counter response: Well, it depends. There are watches that are tiny and elegant.
Counter-counter response: Tiny and elegant sound expensive. I REPEAT. I DO NOT NEED A WATCH.
U sure?
Watch this!
** After watching**
Materialistic Devil: OMG! I love the D-light!!! It's just too cool that the numbers are actually appearing on the crystals! I want this!!
Frugal angel: But well. That's is WAY too expensive.
Materialistic Devil: Then take a look at these!!
Frugal Angel: Sigh~~ I have to admit that I actually tried the black Octea once. And it looks perfect on me. But.. but...but...despite it being pretty stylish, it couldn't go with elegant dresses. HA! I've got a point!
Materialistic Devil: That's a very good point indeed. You have to get one which goes well with both elegant dresses and daily clothes. TADA! (kindly sponsored by Tada radio. :p)
OK. I can always be a materialistic angel.
p.s. this post indicates no immediate intention of getting one of those Swarovski watches, though admittedly, there is a slight tendency to do so.

Finally some maths brain cells in my head
Today, I did my first maths paper after three years of not touching a calculator.
Just to make it sound more impressive, I did my first Cambridge maths paper today!
Yes, that's better.
And I think I did pretty well. Hehe.
You couldn't imagine how much effort I had put in just for this paper.
I constantly bugged my supervisor, did all the past years (and did them all over again before exams), read the textbooks, asked the engineers.
I even wrote down notes like:
1. 1 billion - 9 zeros, 1 million - 6 zeros.
2. Draw the diagram with pencil, make it at least half a page.
3. Double check the answers.
...
...
...
20. Look at your calculator while typing in the figures. DUH.
Now you can imagine how nervous I was before my exams.
I couldn't even sleep the night before.
Well that usually happen. Because I never sleep the night before exams.
But this time I made a point to have a full 8-hours sleep so that I can have an effective, and hopefully a mathematically-effective brain during the exams.
Yet still, I couldn't sleep -.-
But it's all worth the effort.
YEAH!
YEAH YEAH!
YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Just one thing.
Because I have put in extreme effort in this paper.
I kind of seriously neglect the other two papers.
And I mean SERIOUSLY, chronically neglect the other two papers.
Now I need to cover four subjects in 6 days.
Wish me luck.
As I need it a lot.
God.
Please grant me photographic memory.
Just for 6 days.
And I don't mind paying.
