Coursework is finally over. Really.. it was crazy like hell today in the art block. Everyone rushing their prep and stuff. Deadline was set at 5pm, but by 6, only Me Ben Grace and someone else had completed. The teachers were really pissed off. Sigh. But in the end everything was okay. Shall not elaborate.

I'm satisfied, considering that I was DEAD LAST to start but one of the first few to finish. Things wouldn't have ever been possible without WEEJIIIN :) He never abandoned me when I said I needed help, unlike - and I'm NOT afraid to say this - people who I asked and who agreed but in the end never showed their bloody faces. Caught up in the fucking EUPHORIA of your excellent prelim results perhaps? All the bullshit about "Van, I'll help you, I'm free on Tuesday" or "I'll do it during our free periods k.." All that were fucking empty and hollow.

You may argue that I didn't specify when I needed help, or I didn't specifically RING you guys up to ask you to come to the studio, but you all should know me. I do not like to pester people. On top of that, I'm so bloody busy - I even have to be pulled out of lessons to do my work - do you think I have the luxury of time to keep calling? I'm damn bloody disappointed, and I know that some of you might be reading this and I don't give a shit. I would say this to your faces, only that I won't see you guys in school this week.

ThankGOD for Weejin though. I think the final A Level grade for coursework would be half his. He helped me paint my space, stitch, mount my prep, and the best thing - hang the entire thing on the 3.4m wall. Watching him balancing precariously on that wobbly ladder, thinking of ways to secure my heavy painting, drilling the screws into the wall and without any complaint, I was bloody touched. He didn't have to do all that.. but he was willing to. Not only that, he fed the poor kittens in the studio, helped Amanda tape her work, clean up the gallery space.. he's like my personal gift from God. Really.

It's amazing how you can see hope in some people, when the rest of the world seems so bleak.
