argh, its 1am now and i don't really feel like doing work (which is bad but whatever), so a quick update.
today had chinese prelims (yes taking the sec4 paper) and physics a level SPA. chinese was manageable/good surprisingly, considering the fact that i didn't even study for it. realised how stuck i was at bao zhang du hou gan and analysing of the question requirements gah. sometimes i wonder if its just me (since no one else seems to be suffering from the same problem ever), like if i'm overanalysing things and digging a hole for myself. physics SPA was alright though, got a really nice graph! =D almost ran out of time though, got a little panicky after a teeny confusion over the axes placement. all in all, one word: phew.
oh but i do like the comprehension passages. themes like actively injecting meaning and fulfillment into your life and doing something that you enjoy are all things that i actually like to hold close to my heart. ok i can tell that 90% of people will just go >.> at this, but who cares.
and i saw mr tan weng seng today! man he looks the same as last year. reminds me, he's one of the few role models that i've had, in addition to hao jun, neville (nah), and mr koh. yup, just a random comment here.
and tomorrow is x stigma round 2 judging. frankly, it totally feels as if we're doing this 100% last minute and we're just going to rush into it tomorrow half prepared. but it's abit too late to make changes now, we just have to hope for the best.
this is why i never fancy doing things last minute. but i always end up doing that myself anyway, especially for my academic work. contradictory huh.
and this is pure saigang week. basically i was saigang warrior for x stigma. did printing putting up of posters cutting pasting walking around taking cab shopping for logistics you name it. I HATE SAIGANG. ok enough ranting. but we better win...
yea and i finally got The Tipping Point today at popular! so now i have that, Blink and The Story of Success, all by malcolm gladwell =) excellent reading material, but i won't really openly recommend it to people here since people have different tastes and i can't really predict who shares similar taste in books as me. oh and i got 3 teacher's day cards there too haha (shall only reveal the recipients' identities at a later date). thanks nigel for the popular card discount for my book plus the cards! =D
nigel asks how i managed to get A for physics CT when i never do my tutorials. which is something that i marvel at sometimes myself, physics being one of my weakest subjects (in my opinion anyway). and it then dawned on me that i've never done ANY tutorial (pretty much) for the entire year. which is a really scary realisation actually, that you've been wasting away your time on god knows what silly things that life has to tempt you with.
project work has got a bit better for me, especially with WR. action plan seems crystal clear (significantly as compared to before). its almost as if i was wandering all this while for PW, until now. loss of direction is such a terrible feeling. ah and, some personal questioning has got me closer to properly understanding the EOM requirements. just hope it goes well and my draft is of quality! if not, ah, i'm screwed? =/
i've been really quite concerned about cca recently. not sure how things are going to turn out, not sure if the mantle of leadership will be passed on sensibly to the right people, and not sure if the entire unit as a whole is going up or going down in time to come. only time will tell, but right now, i cannot help but worry.
promos draw ever so nearer. my h3 and possible scholarships depend on it. ok that was so pragmatic, but it's the truth. wait why am i going so far. wait till i survive the 3 class tests next week huh. by the way, i've not even started studying for any of them. it gets worse when i tell you that i don't even half understand all the recent topics.
haha but, i just have to tell myself that it'd all be alright, grit my teeth (if necessary) and move on.
nice quote here to share and end off my post =)
