At this point in time, its abt week 9 of term 1, veahave scored better in tests than most people that beat( or totally destroyed and humiliated) me in grades. There is one key difference btw NOW and THEN.THEN, year 2005 (charity rox) I see people study and cramming things into their mind that i myself panic that i did not study and try last minute work< results failed miserably. NOW, year 2006, I have never study for any test from start of the year till now, seriously. just before i enter the classroom, i just read a list of possible answers, and basically (try to) keep calm and positive. oddly enuff, the test become rather easy and i have no problem dealin with it. end of test, everyone saein wah so difficult, fail liao la yet they are the ones who score the highest.anyway, when the papers are returned, i suprisingli scored rather well(my own standard) and beat a few others(hehehehe). okay so i failed 1 test. so what, i go home with a happy face and forget it, why? remembering such things can make one unhappy and honestly ask yourself, isit worth getting yourself sad over ONE lousy test ?
After this string of events, i realised that how you feel, how you react to the teachers' supposed "clues" and even how others react are reflected in test results. When a person is panicky, shocked or frustrated, their heart rate increases and they start to sweat, thoughts of "wah lao fail liao, so difficult" speed across their minds, limiting the space of actual productive thinking.
When a person is positive and calm, they will be doing things much more efficiently than their peers, even though they are not as smart. they are capable of using their minds to their fullest potential. Thats' why i think that durin O levels' results ceremony, many people think that they could have scored much higher.
That is what I learnt for 2 months of 2006, which is probably than any maths formula geography facts. Try it, keep a cool head during a test(which you paid attention to in class) and skip all that studying and panicking involved.
maybe it will be for the batter,who noes
Another point i want to make is that people dont think and dey just yell out no if the teacher asks if there is supposed to be a test. if the teach saes there is a compre, or compo, or anything else doesnt need studyin, they shld take the closest date possible or esle it will all be crammed at thurs or friday

The final feast before the execution
I dunwanna go OBS, PLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLS
Jus packed bags for Ubin, man it sucked, had to go down to hougang mall just to buy a stinking ball of twine..... let this 5 days quickly end.
last fridae, bh,didi,adrian,ben and me went to takkin hse to pai nian (15th haven pass okay) we played mahjong for three rounds.edwin was owning everyone as no one knew how to play the game well execpt him, adrain and bh.(adrian wld get owned at any game, even if he was pro at it) bh wasnt plaeing and tot didi how to plae. i was watching the first match. at first ben screwed up so he didnt wanna plae the next round
i took over his seat and had no idea wad to do. we played and edwin owned. ben and takkin went downstairs to plae badminton. we thought we lost four tiles when we were plaein the third match so everyone stopped to play naruto. we called takkin and ben ( they were the main suspects) to see if they took it. tak gt worried and went around (forcing us to ) looking for it. we searched the ENTIRE HSE and could not find it. so we counted it, we messed it up and arranged it 3 times, THREE FRIGGIN TIMES. and still no success. so we tried to arrange it in the box. it was a perfect fit but we still coudnt figure out the problem. so we took it out and arranged it according to the tile. it worked but we couldnt find the problem still. so tak asked his mum and she said it was the hong kong version and had onli that many tiles.I CANT BLIF EVERY! OF US WAS SO PA JIAO(BLIND) which leads us to another key qns, how could they have played correctly when the rules they were using are wrong?????
tak and his family and ruthless...(im toking bout games) they dun even let us figure out the buttons and/or combos and starting crushing us like puni little insects WASSUPWITDAT. And he (his family) tries to own the weaker players every chance they get, they realli need som sportsmanship.
im sleepy dunwanna go camp need health dunwanna go camp help......
