Dear Mr. JBJ
Hi. It's exam period and I have been trying to make myself do work that i hate, especially math, which i am really bad in this year.
I dont see the fucking sense of going to school for a whole week, and then spending time in school especially on PE days, and this is all a fucking waste of time for me because i end up
1. really tired when i get home,
2. with more homework to do on subjects that I am prepared to, or already have thrown away my 4.0 or 3.6, (ie lit)
3. sleeping at home once I get home since i can't study tired anyway,
4. Waking up at 8-9pm, finishing the homework, practicing a bit, and sleeping at 2-3am,
5. Doing this same shit EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Oh, yes, and i didn't go to school today because I really felt this way. My mom is pissed though. She might murder me in my sleep. Or cut my allowance which is worse since all this exam time leaves no time for exercise, which is making me really unfit and having no money for a good diet would really help a lot.
I want to ask, am I protected by the Constitution of Singapore, or any part of the law, for trying to take my studies in my own hands for the first time in my life?
I'm hoping for a quick reply as my exams are 5 days away, and I know you are busy with all the cool stuff in heaven (which you are undoubtedly in, being one of the best people on this grotty little island). But take some time off to give me some help.
Warmest Regards,
Me
P.S. The following is an extract from a conversation with my friend Tat Boon.
