haiz....

...yesterday's events set me in a train of thought..
...one that i think i will take some time to understand...
...thoughts on a topic i am deepy restrained and restricted...
...controlled by the generations before...
...about choice....about freedom...
...when will i understand...
...when will i finally get a clear picture...

...and...will i be able to make my choice...when the time comes?...

...will the time even come?....

hmm...somehow i feel this blog is becoming a place where i rant my feelings...must learn to control...

chem and chinese tmr
Finished acids bases and salts notes (for all 3ners ABS and periodicity notes are on forums)
left chinese

Somehow i dun noe why but whenever it comes to chinese the mood changes. Its been like that for 3 years...since sec 1. Even though its out mother tongue and we have to use it(and also with all that talk about china being a rising power chinese would be useful in the future), i dun noe whether is it just me...but a majority of the pple i noe dun like chinese. And we are chinese. Chinese is like part of our culture and stuff...but somehow due to our overuse of english it seems to be neglected. And maybe becos chinese is harder. Or that we have a brilliant english teacher who is "young", "handsome" and owes some pple MUN photos. Hmm.

Anw..back to reality..i still have to learn my chinese ciyu for the test tmr
darn

Perfection is our goal. Excellence will be tolerated.
let the mugging begin...(wait..it has already begun)

life now is just test after test after assignment after assignement

Quote mr hon: make studying fun

Please

STUDY AND FUN IS LIKE OIL AND WATER
THEY WILL NEVER COME TOGETHER

TO GET STUDYING OVER AND DONE WITH

5. Pit yourself against a pacemaker, for example Benjamin.

6. Something really motivational would be good, for example aiming for exemptions.

7. Take breaks while studying, if not you will kill yourself too.

8. Study in a conducive environment that you find fit for yourself, for example with music.

9. Develop your own learning styles and create your own notes, for example mingmaps

10. Manage your time wisely - aim to finish all your homework and more (for example, homework you know you will be given soon) on the day it is given or earlier.

11. Do your homework diligently

busybusybusy

Fri:
OT DINNER!!! Food was great. Everything was great. It just felt great when the OT (almost everyone) got together again. Sigh. Now to wish it would happen more often.
SLC seems to have left its mark. I can't seem to motivate myself to mug too long. After abt 1hour (or when my playlists reaches collide/home/i'm yours/six songs collide/etc) then my my would start to drift. Sigh.

Weekend:
My weekend was spent creating pday website. And trying to figure out java. Finished homework b4 the weekend started...so had more time to sleep...lol
Visit my website: www.hwachong.edu.sg/~y05hci436/pday/

Mon:
Last minute chiong pday. Powerpoint, spriting, coding.
Sigh, got scolded again for sleeping to late...thus when i finally got to sleep it was even later. Irony.
Last training b4 competition. MUST GET QUAD CHAMP THIS YEAR.

Today:
Projects Day Semis!
Damn fun...we second group to present...then after presentation since we are in com lab and i had laptop and that mr yong didn;t really care..we started playing...and got dismissed at 1130 too. Cool. Pday totally rocks. And mr yong told us we got into finals le. Yay. But that means more work too.

Missing lessons tmr and thurs...

sigh

whee

i love my schedule for the next few weeks

SMP due in 2-3 weeks
HRP due in week 3 or 4
projects day next week
judo finals
Minister dialogue session
NSC
homework and mugging
preparing crash courses?

lol

but to be more optimistic

OT dinner on FRIDAY!


yay

cant wait

but have to finish my geog reading up for tmr and maybe give a crash course duirng recess so during chng's class the class wont be blur..but then again its quite simple

weathering and erosion

sigh
