Guess what. I am listening to “Balance and Relaxation”. I really have no other choice but to listen to it. I nearly cannot take it anymore. Firstly, I am having some kind of sorethroat, which makes me not very that well at all. Secondly, have been drilling on POA since donno when, and I can nearly vomit. Nothing seems to go into my head and I wonder if my mind is functioning properly. I just know that I cannot think now and the head is damn damn hell heavy. OH MY GOD.

I really need a break. And I really donno what am I studying at and studying for. OH MY GOD, once again. I never expect it to be so draining. Just to say, I nearly cannot take it anymore.

I am really doing my revision with a small tinge of ignorance and complacency. That should not be the way. Probably I am really tired and thats why. But that doesnt appeared to be a good reason for such. Nevertheless, I am tired, tired, tired and terribly drained. Today, I just did not head to the library. Going to have my revision at home today. I can do it.

Anyways, you all wanna see how the people study in library? The examination peak hours really caused the library to flood. Everyone was like preparing and preparing to aza aza the war!!! Its not easy. I have no time to update anything already. By the way, I watched THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM!!! At last!!! So happy. Went to Vivo with Ryan and watched till 7 pm man. Then went to this IKEA. Got something and cabbed home. Totally tiring. But then, its a happy day because I did not study at all. So great.

Alrytes. Just woke up actually. I am keeping in mind, I should not be in any situation of complacency, whether is my studies or anything I gonna do. =) Charge everyone!

A SCENE OF THE LIBRARY

Life isnt getting any better. Although quite a long period of time since I last updated, which I beg your pardon, there are quite a number of things that happened, both fortunate and unfortunate. Happenings around the world, our nation, our public and everything surrounding us, are countless. Whether it is gonna be the Credit Woes and Economic downturn in the United States, unrest in China with Diama Lama fighting for independency, Anwar ended his banned from political arena and Financial Crisis in financial institutes may add up a total of US422 Bil and many more coming up. However, as we know, we really cannot do much to it. Turning back to ourselves, and realised that the most ever stressful and disastrous event is coming up. And that is not forgot to be mentioned, our coming FINAL EXAMINATION!

Yes, everything is up. Whether you gonna ask timetable? or revision mood? or even started? Yes yes yes. On the other hand, I have to rant everything here. In addition, life is somehow giving me pressure, in whatever I am doing. I really do not know what will be another monstrous “A LEVELS RESULTS”. When you try to think back, during those holy JC days, I realised is none of the different compare to now. Its all about revision marathon. Every day, get myself up at 9 am, rushed to the library, make myself to focus on the things that are needed to complete. These few days, nevertheless, I learnt that I haven been as efficient as during the Prelims. I am afraid that I will collapse one day. Yes, its examination. However, its not that easy too. How I look forward for 23 May 2008 to come immediately.

On my revision agenda, having able to somehow learnt new things from the Economics subject guide is another achievement. Hopefully I will do much more better than my Prelims. Yes, well enlightened by Amos, and I have somehow realised how ignorant I were. Well, enough of the rantings. Anyways, a quick update on my Prelims results, isnt that appealing though, and here it goes:

Economics: 49

Statistics: 64

Principles of Accounting: 49.5

Principles of Banking and Finance: 58**

Mathematics: Pending

Well, I am rather in a mixed of feelings after getting such results. Is it that difficult to score? or simply I am not up to the requirements yet. If its the first one, I am not pretty worried then. However, if its the second one, I realised I have to put in extra effort in pulling up the grades. Simply, not good “enough”. Jia you jia you.

Having saying that, I realised that I haven been actively keeping a healthy lifestyle. The way I eat, way I sleep and the way I exercise. Yesterday night, I went for a night jog. Simply a quick one because I am tired. Nearly fainted somemore. Maybe due to long time din work. LOL. Looking forward to watch THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. Yes, I am still in the mood of enjoying life. And I gave myself a day off on the 22 April 2008. Isnt that great? Yes, after which, I shall be all alone and alone and alone. No one, even someone, will not be able to contact me. Cos I will be doing a hard work in the “Shaolin” Mountain. LOL.

Anyways, meeting Lily to study. Somehow. Yet, have to make my way down to SIM tomoro. Lol. To get what insurance certificate. LOL. But then, luckily is near. If not I really don wanna go liao. Enough said, carry on and whatever happens, try my best. =)

Best regards and best of luck to all.

Yeap. I am back from the popular saying “Amos’s Class”. So, it was somehow disastrous to a certain degree. However, it does turn out to be quite demoralising. Especially hearing 95% failed for Economics. Oh my god, shout! But then, knowing the way he mark of course passing is much difficult compared to climbing the Mount Everest. Hes damn hell strict. Hopefully he’s not the one marking my script. Well, I shall comment that he does explained the concepts well in a way, but then, even if he can explain well, it doesnt mean he can re explained everything we learnt in this nine months course. Its impossible. So, what I expect myself to do is to really buck up. If not, I will see him again, next year. He said,

“the world is changing everyday, so do economics. The notes given by your lecturer is simply useless, because its based on previous past years examination questions. What I am trying to achieve is to set questions which are fresh and never see before, so that you can apply the concept from what you understand from the course!”

So, how do u exactly feel after hearing such sentence? Under the Singapore education for over 10 years, most of us read by the book. Which means, remember by hard system. So, its like difficult for us to change in a sudden turning point rite? Thats the stressful part. Moreover, I came home and tried to attempt the prelims questions, which he ordered us to do before tomoro’s lecture…my mind just cannot function properly…I cant think write and answer. Well, I shall really go by the tune. Whatever it gonna be, start revision very soon. Have to make myself sit down in the library once again.

Well, let get out of the demoralising issue and get on to something less pathetic, in some sense. Got back two prelim papers this afternoon. They are Statistic 1 and POA. Well, for statistic, got a 64/100. Am contented with it. But I should aimed for distinction de! Haha. Well, kinda disappointing as its not 70, but I am feeling sense of achievement. For POA, I expect myself to fail, which I passed at 49.5/100. Actually, I failed in my system and standard. Because 50 should be the passing rate instead of 34. Well, actually quite okay with it as you know, the POA paper was disastrous. So for now, shall really put in extra effort in pulling and enhance the marks in the finals.

Well, I will now be a full time study nerd. No more playground, no more arcade and no more dilly delly. But I shall take one day off, 16 Apr, to watch the Forbidden Kingdom. Long awaited. HAHA. Alrytes, till here. Ciaos.

PS: Sorry if everything is about studies, cos for now, I really donno wat to say besides STUDIES! Argh.

Homed from BBQ Gathering. Updates by tomoro as I have yet to compile the photos taken. Promised.

—Updated on 8 April 2008—

I am somehow back. Although I got the pictures from Liting, I have yet to recieve from Jinchuan. Let me line up the story first. Well, was a bright evening, and bright sun. Seems like a good day for BBQ. But after which, when I reached Kranji, the downpour was damn heavy. So sian half liao. Anyways, was there and met Binghuan and Pingyi in the bus. Walked there, which was like walk one big round of detour. After which, only saw Siling sitting at the pit area. Was pretty early compared to others. So went to buy things, walked like two big rounds. So tired, luckily theres KFC’s Cheese Fries to accompany me. So, others came shortly and suddenly, down the rain. Went to hide under the HDB, and ate chat walked and comes Mr Koo. He went back to take his bbq pit and when he reached here, the rain stopped. So pai seh. Anyways, not many of us turned up. From the above pictures, can see rite? Haha. Its fun though when we have a couple of photo taking chatting and talking nonsense.

Played few games before leaving. Its a nice gathering, hoping to have more and I promised to make myself present as best as possible. Rather tired when reached home. Let the pic tell the story then:

Yesterday was a school day as I went for my Economics lecture. It was a great one as it generally helped me in recalling my concepts for Microeconomics. Obviously, because I have my friends too, making me not feeling alone. But one thing, rather happy to see that I went for the lecture. Haha. However, after lecture yesterday afternoon, a terrible storm poured when I were on my way home. Other than that, the lightning seems like striking like nobody business again, I wonder what was really happening. And frankly speaking, I am rather afraid of lightning strike. This is because I have been hearing reports on people being striked by lightning etc, you know that kind of sudden feelings which makes you inexist in this world. The thunder was loud, which so called hindered me from going to the gym! Ended up watching heroes at home (and rather than revision), not bad either. The series was nice!

Met up with Ryan after that for dinner. Intended to go gym at night but we are lazy bums. Anyways, we went to JP and headed for a show. I should say we need a break man, from studies! Recognising examinations are coming really freaked me out. Sometimes, I am trying to figure, why am I so stress while I am revising for work. Am I starting toooooo early or? other reasons? Somehow, it makes me loses the drive and motivation to study. Well, studies aside as I am going to revise a tiny bit later. Back to the topic, went to watch “Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon” ??????? by Andy Lau. Its a much better show than the Jiang Shan Mei Ren.

Sypnosis:

“Based on “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, one of China’s four greatest classical novels, and set during A.D. 190 – 280, the darkest period in Chinese history during which the country was torn asunder by civil war and eventually divided between three rival kingdoms, “Three Kingdoms – Resurrection of the Dragon” tells the story of a common-man, ZHAO ZILONG, who fights for his country’s unity and peace and rises on wings of courage and battle prowess to become a hero known throughout China.

Though Zhao has fought & won many battles and his heroism has become a legend, yet after years of battle, the war still rages on. Now in his later years, the valiant warrior struggles in leading his troops to win his last and toughest battle, in which he fights the enemy – from outside and within.” – in courtesy of GV Singapore.

I will give a 4/5 stars. Its nice if you like the genre. Suddenly, got a feel in watching the real Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Until now, I have yet to understand the history behind it. =P.

And I finished Heroes Season 2. Damn. Its nice and a BIG BUT, theres always no ending. Have to really wait for season 3. TMD! Another but, its worth waiting though. Next show I wanna watch is TVB D.I.E. . Heard that its damn nice. Ryan got the files and I will try to get it. However, this should be after my exams yeah. Really have to cut down from any unnecessary distractions. I need to concentrate and find back the motivation I ever had for the Prelims. =) Once again, everyone, jia you for your studies yeah, best of luck. Till here. WILL BE BACK AGAIN!
