Did something way too stupid last night. This morning, in fact. I was feeling stressed yesterday with the studying and exam pressure, and was so tired that I just felt like zonking out at 10pm. But I had to stay up so that I can call Eileen and wish her Happy Birthday. So I did.

Ian: Hey hey...

Leen: Hello, is that you, Jie?

Ian: Yup yup! Called to wish you a Happy Birthday!

Leen: Huh... Not my birthday yet leh...

Ian: *looks at watch* It is 12.03am on my watch already leh...

Leen: It's the 9th today, my dear...

Ian: *disbelief followed by slow numbing realisation* Oh crap...

Her birthday is actually on the 10th. She got quite a little bit angry that I forgot her birthday despite having known her for almost a decade already (goodness, I'm ancient...) and I had to spend the next 20 minutes soothing her ruffled feathers. And I have to stay up today to call her again. Crap... I do hope that she's not really angry though. I seriously can't tell.

Stayed home today to do my laundry instead of going to school to study. I figured I'm too stressed up anyway to be distracted by all that's going on around me. Time is slowly going by, even when you don't realise it.

Made some pretty good progress today, and hope that I can have more confidence for my papers.

Talked to a friend on the phone for an hour today, and she made me feel better. Thanks! Called Gabriel and Ching during dinner for a short while as well. Really miss talking to the both of them.

Back to studying for now...

*Do note the amendment to my exam dates, in particular, the first paper's timing has been corrected to 2pm - 5pm instead of 9am to 12pm as originally stated. I apologise for any inconvenience and wasted prayers.
