i am using the comp again. lately, i've been finding excuses to blog and this is not very good. i should spend more time mugging. haiz.. all i can think of is mugging. ): what life!
i'm really feeling the stress level building up. this week there's electrochem test, next week quantum 1 and 2 test plus chem SPA, the week after next will be math test plus physics SPA, week 7 econs test. common test is coming! was having this really short chat with mr chan after physics class with ziyin and shufang today and yes. we were reminded about studying for common test. he asked, "how's your revision going?" ha. i bet the three of us were struck cos we didnt say a single thing. the good thing was he gave us tips as to how we should start now. it's not too late after all. and yes. i should be looking at physics instead of this. I NEED TO STOP FAILING TESTS! not that i didnt put in the effort, my teacher exercises her rule of marking down for all our work to make us want to do better (for econs at least). this explains the highest of 6/13 in class. i got 5. that is still as bad. second test was not any better. i scraped through with 8/17. i was just glad that's a sub-pass. she still threatened to kick us out of her class. will never forget the tension level in class. she reads out the name and started saying in and out. phew! thank god she was just joking cos in the end there were only about 6-7 people staying which is impossible (counting from the in and outs she mentioned). really appreciate her effort to keep us mugging harder.
not that i'm using the comp without a purpose today. i'm making an effort, looking at stuff for physics SPA. haha. hope i'll get pass it. with so much to write in an hour, plus we need to think on the spot before even starting, haiz.. must have really good time management skills! what must i know about the LDR and the switching on and off of a street lamp?! i need to try practice task 12!
friday's tuition was great. finally i dont feel lonely in class cos shufang's going tuition with me. haha. shared subway for dinner! (: i really think the world is too small. ok. to be more precise, Singapore. haha. my gor gor's ex teacher teaches at my tuition centre and was the lecturer for the first lecture i went for. haha. how coincident. (: i thought the lecture was really great as it really provoked my thoughts and expanded my understanding about the media. consumers should be blamed for unsophisticated shows aired. ha.
went 扫墓 on saturday. wasnt really in the mood cos it was afternoon. dont know why. haiz.. ever since my great grandma passed away, i havent had good feelings towards anything related to death or the deceased. maybe i'm just being paranoid and everything. i thought about mr loh when i read the newspaper about the reforming of Singapore's dragonboat team just now. ): haiz..
after 扫墓, went bishan library cos my dad wanted to go to the NTUC (not the one at junction 8) to collect some stuff. i thought it was a nice place. was reading some stuff about stemcell research and ethics. yea. it's interesting. didnt manage to finish the article. shall find some time to go down again. (: i saw this book with quotes and pictures of penguins and another one with pandas. the pictures are really cute! (: haha. i prefer the penguin ones. qh got so irritated with me when i showed her and tell her how cute the penguins are. she gave up and ignored me. ): haha. i saw this quote and yes. i think sometimes that's what keeps me perservering. "The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."--Henry Ward Beecher ( i dont know who's that.)
