Suddenly thought of my O levels study break period. Didn't have to go to school, so everyday morning to night I have to stay home to study. I remember stocking up on chocolate chip cookies (I always get that one brand only, and it wasn't even that nice lol. Now I feel like buying it again just for nostalgia's sake) and candles* to accompany me while studying, and sneakily watching dramas while my mum was not at home. Can't wait for that period to end at that time but now I wish I could go back again. Somehow studying for O levels wasn't THAT stressful now that I think about it. After all it's just like revising for the hundredth time what I've studied over the past two years. I think. Or maybe I just forgot the stressful parts and only remembered the parts where I ate cookies and watched dramas.


*There was one weird period in my life I had to have scented candles burning beside me while I study. I think it's because I didn't yet have the (bad) habit of switching on my computer while studying then, and my phone didn't have a 3G plan either. So the candles provided an alternative form of distraction. Every time I got bored I will dip the ends of my pens into the hot melted wax to coat them with the wax. Then remove the hardened wax carefully from the pens so I get "moulded" wax I made myself. Made me feel like an artist. Or I'll tear bits of paper to burn them. Once I tried burning a strand of my hair but OMGAHHHHHH the smell is ...... Never tried it again.
