I've been reading the Complete Notes of Singapore. Apparently Neil thinks that Singaporeans study too hard as well. But it's not like we have a choice, is there? It's not like we want to stay home everyday to churn out stacks of assignments and forfeit our right to have a life.
(I'm kidding, we still sneak pieces of life in here and there.)
But unless you're willing to risk parent-teacher scoldings, demerits, SOs (LOL), and whatever thing they decide to throw at you for not working, you can't do anything. (If you are willing then I applaud you.)

... Oh fine. I'll risk it. Wait while I go put on my lecture-proof armor.
