Urgh

Ha! My 1st entry! Wahaha!
No idea why I'm doing this, by the way. To spread my craziness around, I think. So I don't infect myself too much...

ANYWAY... There was Chinese Prelims today. Joy of all joys! I even learnt some very useful things from this extraordinary experience:

  1. Never study at night. Or rather, never start studying the night before the bleeding paper.
  2. If you do, don't drink coffee.
  3. Because apparently it doesn't work (for me) at night, and you become sleepy immediately after drinking.
  4. After spending the whole night studying, it's a good idea to drink some more coffee to stay awake for the test.
  5. But not 9 hours BEFORE the stupid test!!!
  6. That's because your idiotic brain will become fried and will do funny things. Like hallucinate.

Ok, I didn't really hallucinate, but my brain did do some weird stuff. Hahaz. I was reading the passage, and it was ok for the first few sentences. Then, I think I became very sleepy, and read English words from the passage. No idea how it happened: There I was, trying to make sense of the chinese words, then the story suddenly continued in english. Then snap! I suddenly woke up and became very confused... Did the flower sellers get into an accident with the cars by the road? Was there a man buying flowers for his girlfriend?? Freaky... (At least, i think the passage was about people selling flowers by the road... Is it???)

This happened a few more times, and I constantly went back to the beginning to reread, therefore wasting so much of my precious time. Finally I gave up and went on to the next passage. Luckily nothing much happened, just the usual: Me not understanding a word in the passage, and crapping around for the answers. Oh well.

My brain is still fried now, by the way. Better go and sleep... After that, I shall really have to start seriously preparing for Chinese O's... Even my maths tuition teacher is telling me to. Sigh...
