SPM k.o. PMR

Differences I've noticed so far between my PMR year and this SPM year:

PMR year
Homework is completed either the day before due date or on the due date itself.
SPM year
Homework mostly done on the day the homework was given itself and completion is subject to capability and comprehension.

PMR year
Free period: *YAK YAK YAK*
SPM year
Free period: Do homework.

PMR year
Seniors say: PMR eh? Easy la.
Janna says: EASY?! You got straight As sure easy la!
SPM year
Juniors [PMR candidates]: Aish, got PMR!
Janna says: Aiyo, peanuts la.

PMR year
*Janna sets alarm at 6.07 to catch the bus at 6.20*
*wakes up at 6.07*
Thinks to self, "Aiya, still early. Sleep one more minute," then misses the bus.
SPM year
*Janna sets alarm at 5.23 to catch the bus at 5.45* BUT an alarm rings at 5.10 am.
"CHE CHE, WAKE UP!" my sister is heard yelling.
*groans* "MY alarm not yet ring also," I would mutter.
The moment MY alarm rings, "CHE CHE, WAKE UP NOW!" Japhia would command me.
"One more minute!" I plead and that is all I get. If only I could whizz out of my clothes to the bathroom and into my uniform in a minute, I would set MY alarm at 5.44a.m.

PMR year
"Mom, I need to destress," I would reason and negotiate.
*Janna watches TV, goes online, goes out A LOT for fun and entertainment et cetera*
SPM year
"Wanna go Jusco?" mom asks.
"Nope, too much homework and housework, too little time."

PMR year
"Sleepy...darn sleepy. Ah heck! I don't care." *z-zzzzzZzzzzz-z*
SPM year
"SLEEPY!" *sprays water at self*
[Yes, I have a spray bottle on the side to spray my face when sleepy. It's super effective. Or at least for the moment it still is.]

PMR year
"What the heck is the teacher talking about? Don't care la."
SPM year
"HUH? WAIT! WHAT? WHY? Teacher, I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

SPM can ruin lives. I bet you would want to give it a miss. It's no fun. I just want to hang loose; not on a noose.
