Closure for now

Those who know what happened to me please don't go around and spread the news. For those who don't, it's nothing spectacular to find out. Let's just say that 4-5 weeks before the prelims, no one should be suffering like I am now (suffering in another sense). It's so great though, to have friends to help you each step during your period of unexpected pain. For all the joy you guys have given me, there will be an entry on you (some time after the A levels)
This entry should be entitled "Sidenotes 3". However, it is going to be more than just miscellaneous stuff. In fact as the title suggest, nothing new will be added to this diary for around 3 months as this is the final battle or the final showdown between me and the haunting A levels. Good luck should be on my side, as it was during the O levels, and more golden eggs should (or rather will) will pop out for me. For the last one and a half years, I’ve been fighting for NJC and myself, adding more weight on the former. Having done my duty for my school, it's time to throw my weight for my glory.
No battle is as tedious as the one ahead. Teachers have oiled or guns, provided us with the latest weaponry, and sharpened our skills with the little skirmishes along the way. We have fallen, only to come back, smarter than before. The fight beckons us, urging us to be engulfed by it. However, we will turn the tide towards our favour, and push forward like there is no tomorrow. Victory comes at a price, but the price is worth the sacrifice.
On this note, good luck to all and Godspeed for the A levels.
