The horrible stench of body odour never fails to plague me whenever I descend the stairs from my apartment to the ground floor, all thanks to my third floor neighbour. My block is designed in such a way that the area which I am living at only has one apartment at every level, thus providing us with extra privacy. So my third-floor neighbour is constantly using the area outside his flat to air-dry his clothing. Sadly though, I have to pass that area each time I descend the stairs and I am always greeted with that usual stench — the strong scent of drying sweat as well as my neighbour’s body odour.

This is the reason why I am always running down the stairs at top speed whenever I go out, ending up huffing and puffing at the bottom flight of stairs. Unless I can prescribe a better remedy to counter the stench, which is to purchase a endless stock of face masks even though the SARS period is over.

My Promotional Physics Paper 1, the very last paper would be held tomorrow and the past two days of endless slacking is starting to make me feel very guilty. Had been very complacent because the paper would only consist of MCQ questions, which I presumed would be “very easy” as compared to the extremely tough paper 2 which I faced on Monday. The rest of today would be devoted to revising and going through my entire stack of notes. I am counting on this particular paper to make up for the way I messed up the Physics Paper 2. I am sincerely praying hard that I wouldn’t wind up with a mental block when I come face to face with the exam questions tomorrow.

The end of the last paper would be followed by a full week on plain enjoyment and relaxation before I start my revision for the GCE AO Level Chinese paper which would be held on November 7. I definitely deserve this break after a full 5 month preparation for the Promotional Exams. After which, the long November cum December holidays would come along, as well as my family trip to Genting and Cameron Highlands. My mother also mentioned that my relatives and I would be spending one weekend at a local resort as a simple “getaway” in addition to the Malaysia trip, so that is something which I can look forward to.

Not to forget the huge shopping spree which I would be embarking on with effect from tomorrow afternoon as I haven’t shopped for almost 4 months. I have so many things which I need to buy, inclusive of a windbreaker, a pouch, a sling bag as well as a few more T-Shirts. All this shopping might cause me to go broke, but this is an excellent way to indulge and destress myself after an excruciating long period of studying.

But before I start gearing myself up for the upcoming holidays, I’ll have to clear my remaining exams. Now just to clear them, but also to pass my examinations with good results, so that I can enjoy my 2 month long holiday guilt-free.
