Exam Ends,The Wait Begins

'OK, you may leave the hall now.'the main invigilator said which puts to an end to yet another STRESSFUL,HECTIC,SUFFERING,TIRING, semester exam. The reason why an exam is such a pain in the butt is due to my inability to carry out a well planned study program,AGAIN.

I mean, I still did my work at the last minute. I resigned from work 1 month before exam but still it didn't give me enough time. When short of time I started to panic. I couldn't sleep at night. My mind was too stressed to the extent that I can't absorb any thing. IT'S SUCH A SHAME I ONLY LEARN ONE LESSON AFTER ONE MISTAKE

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I'm sure I did better than last semester and I believe I've learned quite a lot out of this experience.
Now I know:

• Without the help from the lecturers, certain question can't be solved by asking friends.
  
• Quality,NOT quantity time is what I need to prepare for exam.(There is no quality time when you don't have enough time to study)
  
• Don't get stuck on small obstacles.(which I always do)Don't stop,Move on
  
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Junk food,sleep deprivation don't do any good.
  

As I've said before, it is make or break. I'm planning apply for UTAR's Jan 2010 intake. THERE IS A LITTLE TWIST,HOWEVER. IN CASE I do screw up this time, I'll just work until May 2010 for my expenses and then, continue my studies.
Because after some serious consideration, I figured I needed at least a degree for my future career.

P/S: Much thanks to all the people who have wished me luck and gave me all the help and support. Olive,thanks for your teachings and patience.Kev, thanks for the rides in your UR-Kelisa-Sparkle. I appreciate it guys. Thanks for the ride again.

Make Or Break

My first resit paper of this semester is on the 2nd of September. I have more than 48 hours but will that be enough? As of now I haven't done enough to ensure a pass yet.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

My plans to start revision early was not well executed. Memories of last semester's moments of failure are still clear in my mind. I even had nightmares about it recently.

Last semester, I had all 4 resit papers in 2 days. I did all I can within a short time. I was under a lot of stress and I'm also mentally, very tired. Eventually, I failed miserably. And so my plans to study in TARC KL had to be called off.

This semester however, things are looking a bit better. I have a lengthy schedule from the 2nd to the 17th for my 4 subjects which is a good thing. . . If I make full use of my time that is. But the stakes are pretty much the same. Because I have a deal with my parents.
If I don't pass all of my subjects this semester, I will not be given any funds to further my studies. The study loan can't cover all expenses.

The bottom line is, I have to pass all. Scoring or not is not important to me now. I want to graduate and go to Kampar.
Life at PG TARC was good but not great. I want to make the best out of my remaining time as a student at Kampar.

Old And Abondoned

1st post ever to be written Tun Mahathir style

1.The recent newspaper headline have caught my attention and got me thinking.

2.The number of old folks being abandoned by their children is on the rise. A sad news it is but that is the trend.

3.Parents have to bear the burden of raising their children since they are born. A mother can look after 5 children or so.

4.Now all 5 children are grown up, looking after their mother until THAT DAY comes seem to be too much of a burden.

5.Orphans would never do that to their step parents but those born and raised by their biological parents would.

6.Is taking care of an old man that much harder than taking care of a baby? I don't know.

7.In Singapore, those who are caught abandoning their parents can be jailed for up to six months.

8.Our government should learn from our neighbors on this matter.

9.If one could speak out words like 'I got my own life to live now.Goodbye' to their parents, he/she can say it to any body.

10.If you cannot respect the very people who have raised you with love and care,then there is no point respecting the gods you worship. Because you cannot respect any body.

11.I might have missed out of those who had not have a good time with their parents. Child abuse,rape, etc.

12.BUT, how many people in the old folks home actually did that? How many of them actually deserved to be there?
