okay. So my first week of exams has jus ended today. Today was physics. Wednesday was Maths. Well, was quite sad that Maths ended early. Despite the rushed preparation and a more in-depth study of the maths topics, I still love maths. I still enjoy the thrill of facing challenging qns and trying to solve them. It's quite sad that maths for this year has come to an end already. Well, Maths 2! Here I come! (in next semester). Phys today wasn't so good. I'm not that optimistic about it. I think, after moderation, I'll still be borderline :( and I hope I'll be on the other side of the borderline--the borderline pass! I really hope I pass this module and not repeat it...oh man..i can't imagine if I have to repeat this module..it's going to be extra load and I wonder how i'll cope and if i can pass even on the nxt try..oh no..please please let me pass...oh man..okay...my imagination running wild and i know wad zhiwen will say: don't think abt it tat way! haha. and khalis will say it too... (: thanks pals for sticking by me and being arnd last night when i was low and down and unmotivated. well, after the first week and reviewing the exams, I see the good and bad side of this kinda module system. Yes, it's very different from the normal exams that I had been trained for the past 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 years. And I take the stand that overall, it's a good thing. Well, having modular exam allows me to focus all my attention and do my very best at it and preparing for it. Cos I only have that one chance to score and do well in that subject. So I might as well do my best and get it over and done with. So it pushes me and leaves no room for procastination or the "score well in the nxt test/exam" mindset. The bad thing is that once the exam is over, it's really over. No point reflecting after the paper and telling yourself "I should have prepared better" cos there is no more chance. no more saying I should study certain topics. regretting is really sucky cos there's no 2nd chance. so to all my NUS frens out there, STUDY HARD, PREPARE WELL AND DON'T MAKE ANY REGRETS! well, that also applies to my NTU frens who have remaining papers and to myself! lol. okay. so my sis left for Cebu, the Philippines this morning. My grandma left for sabah this evening. thankfully I managed to make it back in time to talk to my grandma a bit. But not my sis. talked to her a little bit on the phone but she was too tired to talk to me also. ha. well, hope they have reached their destinations safely, be safe there and return safely! down here, wanna thank zhiwen for taking time off to meet me today and have a cup of mocha with me amid his studying! had a good chat though i was a bit quieter than usual. study hard! took a break today. Actually, I fell sick during the phys exams--caught a flu. So after lunch, I took med and slept for 2 hours. Then packed up and headed home. before that, went over to drink my fav coffee drink: Ice-blended Mocha at coffee bean and also bought the coffee bean card! Waited for Zhiwen and had a chat with him. Well, thank God that I've recovered much from my flu after the med and slp! =) but i took a long break. now also wishing to go out. quite a pity khalis can't ride out tonight cos his pizza is arriving so late!! haha. come on come on! I wanna go out! haha. go riding and see your "new" bike and go jalan jalan...lol... okay. tat's all I'm going to say then! I jus want to end off with this quote I heard on radio last night which got me thinking: the hardest thing in love is to watch someone you love love someone else --------------------------------- |
