A break from revision

Home life and going back uni for exams is everything for now. So far, the dense part of biology paper is over and this is really a stress relief, at least it plays some amazing trick on mental balance. Stress is a normal response to challenge, threat and excitement. Small amount of it can be beneficial, but too much means you'll have trouble thinking and your plug is about to shot. I believe you all have experienced stress before in your life, unless you're a baby, makan tidur main tidur, chi he wan le. For us the non-babies, guess our chi he wan le day would be only the first day of chinese calendar. 1......2........3............13! Not more than 2 weeks till chinese new year! man this is so so great! But serious, i need a psychologist sometimes to really untie some knots in mind.

Last friday i had my second paper, chem practical, basically it's about titration, flame test, mix this and mix that........... Finished task 1. Moved on to the next task, read through the question, "darn why use methyl orange not phenophthaline... the end point must be difficult to determine.." played with the burette tap. Focused, very focused on dipping the solution. Upon completing the 2nd titration "values are not concordant, repeat" Done the third time "hey values are inconsistent......something' seems not right here...". Discarded the product, repeated. "what happen?! this is not the value i want..." Via interpretation through hearing, my fellow coursemates had started doing the 3rd task, stirring and dissolving some salt already. Glanced at the clock, time was running short. "ok make this the last time, take a breathe, do it more carefully, everything will be fine girl" All together i've done 5 times titration, thank god i got the right one finally. 3 out of 4 of the tasks were completed without a hitch, the only time-consuming part was titration, however at the end, i got extra 10 minutes for checking =D Talk about the testing gas part, i got a lil bit afraid handling this because there was once the boiling ammonium bromide splashed out and burnt my hand during practical class, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

So this week i'll be having my 3rd and 4th paper. By the way i've learnt a lesson- bring your jacket along into exam hall. Not again playing warming tricks, having jaw muscle shivering and making your teeth chattered throughout the exams session like last thursday.

writing in cold is not easy

your writings might appear to have extra long 'tail' + messy

15 minutes ago i was reading so diligently and i'm not sure why am i here now. Anyway i was amused by a girl the other day. Let's name her Bosmond (a fan of hk celeb BOSco wong and rayMOND lum) I was midway revising and she came and kacau. I took a glimpse at the rukun negara printed on the back cover of her exercise book and simply spoke "ok tell me the last principle of rukun negara" She paused for a while and spelled "Kesopanan dan kesusilaan!!", cool and confidently! "The second one?" "Kesetiaan kpd raja dan negara!!!!" She pronounced this even more unafraid with high tone. "k the third one now" "Keluhuran KElembagaan!!" I frowned a lil at her remarks, thought that she was kidding or maybe my hearing problem again. "er pardon?" Bosmand looked more hesitated now with her voice slowed down "keluhuran... KElembagaan?.." I managed to ask this before rolling on the floor laughing out loud. "This is the usual way you recite rukun negara every monday at school?" "er..... yes... i think" Not bad, at least she knew something was wrong. My gawd it takes ages for her to realise that she was wrong all the while for the previous 16++ year. I should have sang her the very first phrase of the song Realize by colbie caillat "take time to realize...." Bosmond you're so lucky to have me as a savior to stop you from misleading information on your next generation or next days your bunch of cucu cicit will get an E for their moral attitude. Hahaha! lol

Fun's over, back to serious stuff. Students recite the pledge weekly during a compulsory assembly in such the way so loud, loud like thunder, afterall they recite just for the sake of reciting it. When it comes to meaning and significance of each and every tenet, i'm sure 90% students in the hall will face downwards looking at their clean and shining school shoes, some can't stop brushing their already very neat hair, some get tired standing and started mourning, some even take this golden opportunity to restore sleep! and you can hear a pin drop silence next. Anak-anak harapan negara, berjinak-jinak rosak dimanja. *sigh*

Not to forget, all the best again to myself and my coursemates. Bye
