Almost over...

Finally, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Two weeks of tests will soon be over. Only one more to go and it'll be all good. Biology was alright, and so was English Extension. My speech was like 3 pages, because I didn't take as seriously as the other tests. I'm dropping it anyway, so who cares? For the first time in a long while, I felt quite confident about my maths test. Not "I'm-gonna-get 90%-plus" confident, but quietly confident that I'll get a decent mark at least. It was on the day that England won the Ashes, so I'm hoping it was a good sign. Biology prac exam went much better than expected and I'm in high hopes for my Chem prac exam.

The 2nd week of exams was much better emotionally than the first week. What I'm trying to say is that the first week seem so stressful and serious. The 2nd week I was more laid back and felt at ease, even when taking the maths exam. In a way, playing cricket before the tests helped a lot. It felt good to take a few bowls and bats. On Tuesday, sports was compulsory, so I sneaked off from basketball and when to the mini-tennis group to play cricket with some mates. A quick breakdown of the players:
- Charles "Cricket Freak" Luo
- Paul "You say f-off, we say flintoff" Nguyen
- Andy "Next Spin King" Ngu
- Jimmy "The Left Hander" Ly
- Tan "Shorty" Nguyen
Here I would like to say "thanks guys" playing cricket helped me a lot of calm down. It's a cool and effective method of calming therapy.

On a final note, Franz Ferdinand rocks! I got their first album (Franz Ferdinand) and immediately loved their rocky tunes. Now their second album (You Could Have It So Much Better) is out and is even better than the first. Get it! Buy it or get a torrent! P2P is cool these days.

On another final note, I'll be posting more parts to my story since Thursday is my day off.
