All right I have decided to become more than a mugger for the next 50+ days. From tomorrow onwards, I will become a PROFESSIONAL EXAM TAKER. That means that I must try to perform my art (i.e. taking exams) to the point of perfection, or at least move it in that direction. And I will allow myself NO LIFE. Except my 45mins on weekends. And one day to catch up with people I haven't seen for sooo long. That is the secret to getting straight As. Heheh.
The more I think about it, the more I don't know what I want to do. I can do maths, I am interested in bio and business seems to have the best prospects in the future. So which field should I go to?? Maths, bio or business?? The thing is.. Maths is so repetitive and monotonous in a sense. Bio.. Researching and getting results from genetic engineering sounds fun. But I always screw up labwork. For one thing my bio practical was absolutely terrible. And by the time I'm done studying bio for 8yrs in university, Singapore would have moved on to some other hub, where bio isn't important anymore. So it would be hard to become someone in that field. And business is sooo risky. So how?? Dunno where to go!!
Just think everything is so pointless. After putting so much effort spending one chunk of our lives studying, we just end up in some recurrent cycle of working, paying off bills and expenses, saving money and retail therapy as a justification from working so hard. And then we work again. There is hardly any sense of self-fulfillment derived from it. But yet it goes on and on and on till retirement. What's the point?? In the end it just boils down to the money. Usually. It's like part of the "greater scheme of things" to generate national income for the country. But what about us as individuals? What about what we want to do?
Let's say we have a concert pianist who appreciates and loves music. But when it comes to performing on stage, the concert pianist has to chuck all that aside to non-stop rehearsing. To perfect his/her art to the point of perfection. Isn't it sad.. that they might have chosen their profession because of their love for music, yet their profession forces them to push aside the very essence of it.. and subject them to endless drilling and practising. Though some have the ability to achieve perfection while enjoying their music at the same time, it is a hard combination to handle simultaneously. So if the concert pianist can't handle it, should he/she quit their job and give up his/her status and pay then?

Can't stand gp anymore... Bleah. Cuz there's so much gp homework to do for gp tuition and I just don't feel like doing any of it. Only written up to the 2nd paragraph and it took me 1hr. Dreading to go. Don't want to go. Need to finish compre too. hc compre is damn hard. Paraphrasing everything is ridiculous. There's just too much to paraphrase. Seriously need a break from work. Prelims are just over. Damn. I'm going to sit there like a dumb idiot again and be the only one who did not finish the homework. And everybody will be contributing and giving answers and I will just have to hide at the back and act as inconspicuous as possible. Maybe I'll go a bit later. So I won't have to sit in front. And wear white. To be camouflaged with the wall.
Prelims are overrr!!!! Yay!!! But there is absolutely no time to do those things I wanted to do after prelims.. No time to watch movie, and I can't change my blog song!! Supposed to come online for 45mins a week. I overshot my time by an hour already.
Chem yesterday was sooo harddd... It's like writing chem essay like that. Only organic chem is more pleasant to do. After that went out with sijia and phyllis!! Haha saw huixin at orchard!! Yup then after that we went to little india to try indian food!! So freaky la. Couldn't find the nice, indian restaurant that my mum brought me the other time.. So in the end we went to some other place to eat. Then it was like, after we ordered our food, some guy barged in and was making a scene on how that restaurant's food caused him to get indigestion. Oh mann.. then sijia and I were like.. Oh nooo. And it was after that, we realised we were the only people in that place. Scaryy~. But then the food was quite nice la. Ate kothu prata!! It's like this mashed up prata with chicken chunks.. Looked a bit like fried rice without the rice.
After that, we went to pluck eyebrows!! Haha yay so nice! Sijia looks so chiooo =). Must go again before prom heheh. Though I think I'll never ever ever be able to persuade sijia to do that again. Oh btw, they were holding vasatham star there (tekka mall)!! So cool.. Heh. Why did they put the human beatbox competition in the middle of prelims?? Didn't get to seeee...
Alrightz.. one day to slack. Then must start to be muggy again. MUG PEOPLE MUG!!
Anywayy, there's this website which has some good chem stuff.
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/index.html#top
And has some extra bits too like all the mechanisms of organic chem and stuff. Yup.. Helps with the memorising. Made me like chem again heh.
~numa numa hey numa numa numa heyyyy!!!
i did NOT not expect anything... not ever..

5 more papers to gooo... excluding ne.. Almost finishinggg.. Bleah.. screwed up the energetics part today for chem. I thought I remembered how to do?!! Then tried and tried and the answer turned out real weird. And after the paper, ms teh said that my whole enthalpy thing was one big mess. For one thing, I drew the energy level diagram
as an energy profile diagram. Haiii. Learnt my lesson.. don't sit in front again...
Have been playing and playing piano to destress. Found this new piano book and I'm hooked on the piece christofori's dream. It's soooo nice!! I think I'm driving my neighbours mad. Haha. Keep on playing it non-stop for days. Oh ya.. anyway.. Read this thing.. When you sleep, you lose weight!! Cuz there's some lose weight enzyme produced when you're sleeping! So exams don't just cause aging, it causes obesity too! The sports for life committee should look into this matter man..
So glad it's the weekend. Haha my brother and I were like making this retarded homemade witchdoctor mtv on my phone starring.. *drumrollz* ..BOTH OF US!! Omg it's so stupid!! Just realised today that my phone video could also record background music if it's blasted all the way. So we were like lip-synching the song and acting like some crazy idiots. And he was introducing to this numa numa song too. Check it out.

Love it!! Heheh. Apparently it's so famous that it made it to disney. And it's just made by some ordinary guy.
Ma-ia-hii

Home early today.. after bio option. Good.. no brother to compete with me for the com heheh. Horrible la. Only had like.. one day to study this properly cuz all the important papers were before this. And I underestimated the amount of stuff to study yesterday.. Thought it would be kind of manageable then after took out the whole pile of option papers and it was like.. Damn. So much! Heh. So it was like.. everything outside human growth I just wrote crap. Good thing the essay was a bit human-ish. And a bit of O level knowledge. Seriously la everyone had only ONE DAY to study this thing.. So if people score.. it's also just how well they spot.. Most people anyway. Or those who are fortunate crappers. Ya.. so anyway.. *crosses fingers*.. Hope today is a lucky day for us all..
Getting a bit of competitive streak again. Which is good in a way.. It's quite motivating heheh.. Like there's a temporary sense of purpose. But for what is a different story. As in eventually.. ya.. get good A level results, go and work, get a good post and then what? There's like something missing in the picture. All these are all so materialistic. And pleasure or anything else related derived from these isn't very genuine in a way. Cuz it's just short-lived and can be easily lost. So what fills the gaps? But I guess I can only find out if I pull through As first huh.. Or I'll never be in the right frame of mind if I'm forever regretting what could have been done better..
And I guess there is something good out from this la. As melia was saying.. it's kinda fun mugging with everyone else. Didn't really think of that until she said. It's like.. a common vision.. Like what pm goh was saying he wanted singaporeans to have in our compre passage.. haha.. Ok that's a bit not related.. nevermind.. And there's also less pressure in a sense. As in.. now it's so much better to mug openly. Last time usually come early to school with all the unfinished tutorials but it felt so.. out.. to be doing tutorials when everyone else is talking and chatting. It also feels a bit discrimatory in a sense.. Or maybe it's because I was discriminating myself..? But now.. everyone's doing the same.
Ya anywayy.. must go and sleep!! Bleah.. all my sleeping hours are so weird and irregular now la. I'm getting horrendous wrinkles around my eyes!!! Think exams play a role in speeding up a reversible aging reaction.. Wrinkles, white hair.. See the signs of overstudying.. Heh. Well tomorrow is chem anyway.

Can't tahan already!! Finally the totally heavy going papers are done.. Especially the horrible essays. Bleah.. tomorrow is bio.. Like.. The only chance left to pull up bio results. But dunno what to study!! There's like just so much. One PILE of unread notes. Probably have to try cramming everything in 4hrs after this. Today was chem and maths.. No essays. Yes.. And the biochem section was so stupid. Dunno what they were talking about.. Stacks of cyclic peptides?! =S.. And was damn intimidating la.. Sitting next to matthew chua then he was chionging all the way and I was like.. Stop then do then stop then do.. Oh no I'm wasting time!! Must study bio!! Heheh and get that award!! Ya right. Got to see our testimonials too. Quite miraculous to see it became like that after handing up "our version of our own testimonial". Haha they were like so overly nice la. Not that I'm complaining.. =)
Oh so happy finallllly got bball jacket!!! It's like.. everytime see people wearing their cca jacket then we all don't have.. Yay. Now it's like 33 degrees and it's so hot and stuffy but I'm still wearing it.. I love my bball jacket! =D When is chess going to make one? *hint hint*
And anywayyy.. Liquor chocolates are OUT and liqour mooncakes are IN. They are so GOOD. *satisfied smile* And it tastes real good with tiramisu. Must go and buy.
Okay I have wasted so much time. Not that I can cram everything now anyway cuz my head is so full of maths and chem. So good with the excuses right. Heh. Study study study!!!! Then after prelims can quickly change that unoriginal friendster profile.. and put a nicer blog song.. and watch another movie.. and everything else that I can't do now..
