Stuffs Happening During Exam

1One: Steve Jobs Passed Away.
This famous picture can be seen everywhere around the world right now I think. Cause, it's the book cover of 'The Biography of Steve Jobs' by the very well-known author of many other people, Walter Isaacson. I knew about his death from Google, they had this '1955-2011 Steve Jobs' thing under their search engine if i'm not mistaken. Well, at first when I saw it, I was kinda weird out why are they putting this? Steve Jobs is not even dead yet...to confirm that, I went to check, OMGosh, I totally can't believe it when what I thought was wrong, he's really gone. I felt slight tears inside my heart, I have never shed tears for someone that don't even know me, ha, first time. Steve Jobs, i saw a magazine front page that called him the 21st Century Genius, i very much agree on that. He's amazing just by having the idea to create something even better and easier-to-use, without him, we won't have all these cool machines he made, who can imagine a phone can transform from a basic normal visible keypad phone to a touch screen phone, man, that is a really cool mind he has. And he passed away quite a young age, but pity him too, he was battling cancer for so many years, and now we should be happy he could rest in peace now. God bless him.

2Two: There were book sales going on during my (so lame and dumb and stupid and...)exam
Crazy discounts, i mean, SO MUCH discounts. But the so sad part is I didn't go, I can't go, 'grounded' because of exam, I missed it, but but, hehe, next year, I'm having SPM, that means my exam won't clash with these sales, and I can go to the Big Bad Wolf Booksales and also a booksale on a ship near Port Klang, my friends say it will be there every one or 2 years. Well, if it's not there next year, I can go the year after next year, I'm free, i guess, hehe.

3Three: While studying the 3 science subjects
Physics: I came across my teacher's comments on my exercise book. It's kinda funny, it's something like this, 'Nice Try  Good Try', haha, teacher, you're funny(to me ^-^), next time just use liquid paper or correction tape, don't let me see this funny stuff or i'll just laugh at you everytime.
Chemistry: Horrible answers, all the answers for the questions in my little reference book were all wrong, or you can say weird, the answer for this one question was suppose to be like 2 or 3 words only, the answer sheet gave me haha, I call it random stuff, totally out of topic. This is something related to, " I call for a chicken not a duck! "...i made it up by myself, hahaha.
Biology: Everybody knows what is Inspiration, right? I know you do, but do you know Inspiration can be relative to the topic RESPIRATION? Hah hah...Inspiration and Expiration, from the words inspire(inhale) and expire(exhale). Words do have a lot of definitions...that can be so different from each other.

All these are just some random stuff I can remember happened during my dog days, XD.
Some song suggestions, anyone? Well...i have some Youtube links:

24th Of June

Hi, everyone! See the title above, yea, read it out loud, haha, you wanna know what date is that? Well...it's my Birthday! Yay, I'm so happy that now I'm officially 16, though in the same body and the same height as always, never grow, =D. I always love my special day, one of the main reasons is of my birthday date, I know everyone knows, 6 * 4 = 24, right? And if you have extra knowledge of chinese, you'll know that the spelling for 4 and IS (in chinese) is almost the same. So, if you change the 4 (from 6*4=24) to IS, it'll be 6 是 24,  the word between 6 and 24, that's IS in chinese. Haha, I know it doesn't sound fascinating, but I do remember, I always ask my friends to guess, when is my birthday with this 6*4 = 24. In short, I'm happy that I was born on 24th of June, if I can choose when I should be born, I'll definitely choose back this date, that's how much I love it! XD
          To start, I'm listening to Parachute songs while writing this, I don't know, but I think I just fall for another band, oh man....haha. Okay, emm...on 24th of June, early that morning, my friend called, woke me up from sleep, who in the world calls ppl at 12 something in the morning? Picked up the phone, the other line somebody shouted, " HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY!!!! ", haha, Cheryl, well, I gotta say that gave me a shock! But I love every second of that shockness, that gave me a smile, and I went back to sleep soundly with that smile on my face. then, woke up at 6am, man, my eyes were still so...blurry, wish I can step in bed again, but I did what I always do, sleepwalk, yeap, haha, sleepwalk to the toilet, washed my face, see myself in the mirror, yes, I'm Refreshed! I jumped up and down for a while, get ready for school, oh yea...it's a school day, more worst off, it's Report Card Day! What?!! On the same day as my birthday?!! Sigh~ I guess I just have to accept my fate, I know I didn't do well this Mid-Term, hopefully my mom won't kill me...went to school with my friend, as usual, but this time when we reached school, it was practically, well, empty. Thank goodness, at least, 6 students from my class including me, came early. My friend, H.S gave me a present, when I sat down, after that, slowly, my other friends came flocking saying Happy Birthday, that's nice of them to say that. Next, Nessa and Pau came, sang me the birthday song, first reaction, stop! stop! pls don't do that!!! Tried to stop them, but failed, they just sing and sing till the very last note, then I think to myself, aww...that's nice too...okay, thanks guys. After that, Penny came, she didn't know it was my birthday, I didn't said a word, but Pau so busybody, she whispered to her, i thought she was whispering some secret, but it was about my birthday, oh no, here we go again, now three of them sing, embarrassing!!! At last, teacher came, said a few words, we should clean up the class before our parents come, bla bla bla...in my mind, I'm thinking, " great, no more singing ". But even teacher's talking in front, suddenly, two girls, I don't really know them, sang to me, i know only one person will be able to tell the whole world it's my birthday, Pau! I turn to her, she was trying not to laugh, easily I knew it was her! Then, I beat her with a paper I was holding, not that hard, just a few light beats, the funny thing is, the girl that sang to me, asked if i can lend that piece of paper to her, I did, and she started beating her too! Haha! Made me laugh! But in heart, I really do appreciate what Pau did, thanks Pau! During the walk to class, suddenly I see Pau, Nessa, Aki, in front of every door of their own class, I wonder what are they doing, then I remembered, No!!!! The birthday song again!!! I quickly raised up my hand, since their class is before my class, so I ran as fast as i could back to my class, phew! I'm saved, well, that's what i thought, but no, now they've invaded my class! Oh man, now the song has infiltrated my area, when is this gonna stop....???!!! Throughout the day, before the parents came, my friends just keep on walking back and forth along my class, my class is squashed between two classes, sigh, and so everytime they pass by my class, people start singing. But after all that is finally done, I'm happy my friends remembered my birthday, can't believe it, just enjoyed every moment of that singing, I'll remember that!
          About 10.30, mom called, said she's in front of the school gate already, wau, that's early, and I ran down to take her up all the way to my class, by the way , my class is on the highest floor, so you can imagine me as a mouse scrambling up and down the staircase, tiring~ .....I can see this post is gonna be long, I'll resume tomorrow, Butterfinger out (for now), don't forget to tune in, kay...^-^

At Last, I'm Back!!! XD

yea, at last! Exam's over, I'm free once again! Back on Blogger + Facebook. Phuh~! after 3 weeks of study study study, death exam, I'm really glad i'm back online again, facebook was madness, so many updates, although i'm happy to be blogging again, but looking at the notifications on fb made me exhausted by just looking at it. Okay, positive thinking! Yay, I'm Back!
     Exam was bad, stressful, depressing, screwed. I really feel like dying during that period of time. I don't know how will my results will be, I din't do my best~...Let's go through the subjects 1 by 1..hmm..History paper, totally screwed it, almost all the structure questions I left it blank, so dumb, can't even think of anything to simply write on the paper, the worst paper among all of the others.Bio, Phy, Chem papers, the one I feel most confident : Chemistry, guess I can get A-, haha! The one that let me down : Biology, every paper, especially paper 3, can't remember any of the procedure, not even one!Sad.., Add Maths and Modern Maths, my two 'lovely' subjects, I wish you the best, score high for me! XD...Moral, Civic, PJK, hopefully get A too, ^^...BM, I don't ask for much, just a B that's all I need. English! You better give me a BIG A, or else i'll stew you, boil you, dump you into hot charcoal and barbecue you! KK, joking...what else I'm missing...oh! Agricultural Science....same as BM, grade B please XD....
     Oh well, I'm still super duper happy I've finish my mid-term, for that 3 weeks, is worse than sh*tting, feel like vomiting, see this....
During exam: don't even care to blow dry my hair, when was this..oh ya! studying physics,streesful~ 
After exam(just after exam,on the same day): REJOICE!!! though it's blur, but obviously,
I'm On Top Of The World!!!
...wait. I forgotten, report card day....man, I really do hope I'll get a C for my History, and hope for a lot of A's, make my report 'beautiful' please....God Help Me.
     Positive thinking, positive, look at the bright side, tomorrow school holiday officially begins. Hehe...Supernatural here I come....I'll eat up the whole Season One in 1 week! Muahahahaha!!!! =D

NERD?!

          Today, we had oral again. I remember two of my friends talk regarding about nerds, which i feel a little bit offended, haha~! Well, the 1st one talked all about nerds, how they are like, how they wear, where they'll hang out, to me, he's like talking about himself! How weird, a nerd talking about nerds, XD...but one good thing he said was, they'll get good grades, but unfortunately, i have to disagree, cause i know some 'nerds', they don't really study, but they wear their pants up above their waist, so...sorry, friend, conclusion : what you say is FALSE, not all nerds are smart, ^-^.Usually people call my friends nerds, yea, i agree that they look like nerds, but when you get to know them more, and don't just see their appearance, they are actually just like any normal human being, they eat, drink, joke, play outdoor games, listen to music, not only study but take breaks too! They are very humble and very considerate, sometimes even waste time listening to your personal problems, see how caring they are...better than friends that tries to make fun of you every single time you made a mistake, so cruel....
          Ok, moving on to the next one, she talked about my class characteristics, well, first of all, she also pointed out the nerds in my class....Oh, come on....not again....then the ambitious type, the funny and quirky type(which i personally they are not that funny~), the Korea-craze type, the Japan-wish -to-be-Japanese type, the 'children teacher gang' (cause all of their moms are teachers), then me...i know people call me a nerd, cause in school I dress just like a nerd, i don let my hair down, i go to library all the time (oh, come on....i'm a librarian), i finish (almost) every homework teacher give us, i kinda look like a smart student(but in truth my brain only contains an empty shell...). She called me a nerd + funny...oh ha ha...i guess i take that as a compliment.....but really, i'm not that funny~ ^^
          What else? oh yea...today a lot of my classmates didn't come to school, how sad....even my friend that sits beside me, *cries*....they all stay home and study for tomorrow's exam, sigh~ I wish i did the same, I think they are still studying now...why am i blogging....sigh! I'm a failure, but I just can't stay there and keep on studying, that's just not my nature...so hope i'll do my best tomorrow, and get a good mark for all of my papers! Yeah! Pray for Butterfinger! XD

Study Tips

First Key
Focus 100% on only 1 thing at any given time.
Concentrate fully on that task for that time. DO NOT allow anything to distract you, and that means NO sms, NO phone calls, NO chatting.
Let’s say you decide to learn Chap 3 of Form 4 Physics – Pressure for the next 1 hour. Then please commit to Focus 100% on that for 1 hour.
Most people (and that includes adults too) live through distraction the whole day. The world is getting more and more ADD, probably due to more and more distractions in our lives. Therefore, many people do not realize the POWER and EFFECTIVENESS of focusing 100% on something, even though it’s only for a short period of time.

Second Key
Use Time Budgeting Technique.
Budget a time for your lesson. Let’s take the example of learning Chap 3 of Form 4 Physics – Pressure. Let’s say you decide to allocate 3 hours to complete the chapter, then stick to the 3 hours. Meaning you don’t give yourself excuses and do something else in that 3 hours. (toilet break is acceptable J)
It doesn’t matter whether the time allocated is enough or not. What matters is you learn the habit of FOCUSING 100% on a given task. I guarantee after FOCUSING 100% for 3 hours, you’ll definitely see significant improvement of understanding in that Chapter.
Please stop after 3 hours. Don’t over shoot your budgeted time. Learn to be disciplined.
You can be flexible – but please understand that if you’re always flexible with your time, you’ll not have enough time to finish your syllabus. Learn to balance flexibility with discipline.

Third Key
Chunk Down your lessons.
Slice your budgeted 3 hours into smaller lessons. Preferably complete the lessons within a day or 2. Maximum 3 days if the chapter is long.
For example – you may decide to study 1 hour each lesson. You can study 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the evening and then another hour the next morning. (Remember to give 100% FOCUS to the subject matter in that 1 hour)

Fourth Key
Don’t sit.
That’s right, you heard me the first time. Stand up and look down at your books on the table, or hold the book up with your hands and read it standing over your desk. Do that periodically over your lesson time – I suggest to stand for 5 – 10 min. Or better still, hold the book or your notes and pace a while around your table.
Why? You’ll be less sleepy this way.

Fifth Key
Create a study environment that you like.
If you like music, then study with music. If you like to munch snacks, then study with snacks. If you like cold, then study with the air-cond blasting. (BUT – please make sure you’re giving 100% FOCUS to your lessons and not your snacks!)
Try it out – You’ll be amazed with the Power of 100% Focus

Got it from somewhere (over the rainbow...)



"WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF WE REMEMBERED EVERYTHING WE LEARN? WHEN WE STUDY "HARD" WE GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF A TOPIC AND CAN RETAIN THE KNOWLEDGE LONGER, THIS SAVES TIME NOT HAVING TO REFRESH OR RELEARN SOMETHING, WE CARRY THE KNOWLEDGE WITH US"

Yea,Wouldn't it be Great...
