relief
sometimes you feel relieved when you know you probably ought not to feel... but this was what i felt when i got a call from instructor telling me that i'll take FHT after prelims? was sort of looking forward to clearing it by this week (today i guess) but this is by far the better option... but it's quite cool that i managed to focus on studying for prelims with no news from flying, even with this big test hanging over my head. this is probably one of the better lessons that i've learnt throughout these 2 years - make use of the time you have, and focus!
from now until A levels, i will maintain this level of studying. that's my goal (: and i realised that studying is quite fun - prior to chem mock prelims, i was feeling rather awful - the kind of i'm-so-going-to-fall-sick feeling, probably due to another late night and early morning. but the good news is that i'm getting used to this routine! And, i sort of felt better while doing the prelims itself. then when she started going through the answers, i fell into a slump again.. and froze over. seriously. like an icicle. anyway, i feel good when i finish a practice paper, like i just did for Physics Paper 3 not long ago! granted, i take more time than necessary, but that's because i'm checking answers and thinking about it - it's more important to get the 'gems' of the question! as some chem tutor loves to say, and it's true. once you get an answering technique and are able to apply and manipulate it, you're all set!
sometimes all it takes is a smile (:
random sentence that popped out after i typed 'sometimes' :p
back to school to chiongchemmath (i can't believe i typed chem) and photocopy econs prelim papers tomorrowww~ actually i didn't really feel like going to school tomorrow, but the lure of econs essay outlines and case study structures proves too great! it's like, H bonding?? lol so i guess i'm the electron deficient H+ against the great big attractive lone pair on the O atom! what am i saying, i think it's all wrong.
i think i'll post this. even though i'm under a self-imposed no-publishing phase. hmm.
i guess the highlight of my day was finally being able to play on the grand piano in LT2 at 5+, the company was good too (: oh and kfc 2-pc chicken meal at last... but it wasn't that lovely today - the lady gave me lousy pieces of chicken.. rather annoying. they were supposed to be crispy but they battered it unevenly and fried it for too long! and i was thinking more about rushing back to start studying! ended up studying in the library with char lu et al. even though i've whined alot about it being cold there (which IS true). BUT the secret is to sit next to the window! ;P because the outside heat and sunlight will make it warmer there, and there's no direct airconditioning there! but i guess the library is a good place to study (duh.) and i've been productive there on various occasions so my whining is rather unjustified, except w.r.t. cold!
self-discovery of the day:
i mug best when
(a) the temperature is right - a good balance between inertness and concentration achieved due to my state (internal energy dependent only on state!)
(b) there is no or little ambient noise - usually achieved by sticking in earphones
(c) there is minimal movement and motion around me - because i'll get distracted and look at what is causing the moving!
(d) there are people studying near and around me, with great concentration - then i'll settle down and work, instead of feeling restless
(e) the environment is not really interesting. (self-explanatory)
i think too many conditions already. fussy! hahaa >< bad.
curiosity really killed the cat.
i think it's time to drift. because it's too hard to remain as Ca metal, i need to become Ca2+ instead! actually i have no idea what i'm typing now. talk about spontaneous reactions! the indecipherability of parts of my post means it's now time to sleep.
1.16am. my head is bloody but unbowed. i have learnt and grown, and now i'll learn the hardest lessons of all - how to let go, not care and carry on with whatever i need to do at the moment; how to remove distractions and focus even when you don't really feel like it; and when i can, i want to reach the highest level of occlumency and theatrics!
1.18am. it's time to go. au revoir. à demain, à l'infini. whatever. lol!
