I have seen numerous people break down just before, and after the examination papers due to stress. This whole freaking out thing came as a wake-up call for me as I realized how severe things would be if I failed.
Just the thought of failing the O' level examinations made me panicked. I have been wasting four years of my Life without fully focusing on my studies. Even till now, I am watching cartoons and sleeping in till late afternoons. Despite freaking myself out a little, I just can't seem to push myself hard enough to mug, literally. I have never pushed myself to the farthest I could go, even when I was a kid, and i guess it's still the same now.
Friends who know me always nickname me the "bo-chap" one. I guess it's true.
But nevertheless, I just hope that everyone does well, and get into the courses they want. As for me, well, let's just see. I prefer to live day by day, letting nature take its course, rather than freak myself out with the many "what-if"s.

Anyway, I think everyone needs a break. And so I would like to share some things about a band that I recently heard of.
They are called: SKA-P
(Taken from Wikipedia.org)
Ska-P (pronounced [ɛsˈkape]) is a ska punk band formed in Madrid (Vallecas), Spain, in 1994, that could be categorized, politically, as an anarchist musical group. It is one of the most popular ska bands in Spain and Europe.
Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members a small but striking brass section which gives the band a powerful sound.
Their nonconformist attitude is also evident in their eccentric haircuts. Some band members have mohawks while others are almost bald-shaven (with a ponytail at the back).

[an-er-kist] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun
| 1. | a person who advocates or believes in anarchy or anarchism. |
| 2. | a person who seeks to overturn by violence all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed. |
| 3. | a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom. |
In simpler terms, they are a bunch of rebel who go or rather, sing against the Government.
Even though I have no idea what they are singing, I love the beats of the music. I find it rather unique to mix both punk and Mexican beats, while making them blend all at the same time. The songs just make you want to jump off your chair and dance along to the beat!
Here are some of the videos.
Intifada
El Vas Del Obrero
McDollar
Cannabis
That's all for now.
And, to all out there, please don't freak yourself out. A break every once in awhile is good for you. It's better than stressing yourself out, and ending up totally blank during the examinations. Do take care.
