CTs

It makes a pretty big difference. Whether or not if you've felt you've tried your best, compared to if you think you could have done better.

IMHO, I know that if I am aware that I'd just wasted time away doing nothing when the CTs is like tomorrow, or two days later, I'm in depression mode. Which is like, during the CTs, in moments of utter despair, my finger will be resting on the "To Hell With Everything" button. Which also can be rationalized. Didn't spend enough time revising it. So, 理所当然地, of course I can't do this question. And most probably flunk the paper. Then I'll take a breather, and just take a break. Surely, with 15 minutes left, and so many questions remaining, I can't possibly make a difference. What's more about those questions I quickly glazed over with cheap shot answers?

Mmm, but if I think i'd tried my best the previous day, I'll try my best to do the paper. It's not like I'm condemning myself consciously or whatever, it's just so depressing when you find something you can't do, but are supposed to be able to do, and you know the reason is because you didn't put in as much effort.

Thus far was pretty successful. Stayed off the computer for most of the day, except directly after the CTs. Fatigue helped a bit. I was thinking that, being so knocked out after studying and the test, I couldn't possibly muster enough energy to do anything fun or interesting at all. So.... might as well, spend some more time staring at the chemical compounds and something good might come out of it. Or ... sleep. Which I did, right on time at 10.30pm thus far. Meh, can't stay awake any longer. And also, my belief is that, it's better to sleep early, than to stay up late studying. Which i think is proven, for my case, that I got totally knocked out after every major test. Just feel like slumping over for a nap.

Bah, Chem is rather dead now. Econs is okay. To my dismay I found out that studying 3 weeks before, no, even 1 week before, is not exactly long-term memory stuff. Thus far, for Chem and Econs I keep doing last day rush to cover EVERYTHING again. For Chem I gave up at Nitrogen. 20 topics is too much. Econs I barely made it. The part I didn't quite make it was monetary policy for Singapore. Especially the crap about some trinity rule about cake and not eating cake. Last minute revising is all about refreshing memory, not about sorting out questions. Don't know, skip.

.. Just spent 8 minutes working out a 2 mark Summation question. =( I suspect it's 2-mark because supposedly you can use your GC and trial&error to figure out the answer. But nah, it's more satisfying, in this case, to just write the whole thing out by hand, and say, Damn you, I worked the thing out using logic not trial&error.
And as you can see, I'm not a big fan of Primary School Trial&Error stuff. Every question should have a logical derivation and solution behind it.

Just watched some oldie show on Ch 8. It replaced the rerun of 喜临门. Both of which are pretty nice shows. But I like this new oldie rerun better. 野蛮亲家. Thought that was a Hong Kong Chinese drama? Anyway, maybe I like it better because of the senior actors. I find them easier to remember, recognise, and their acting is way better. The new ones, meh, they all come in from mainstream OMG IDOL! or some other talent contest with not so convincing acting. They don't have much of their own unique style at all. With the exception of that female actor - the one that's appearing on the soyabean commercials or something. The bowl-shaped Hinata-Byakugan hairdo type, that is way too enthu. Which is kinda good, since she's like, instantly identifiable. Stands out among the other new actors who's more like hired by-standers than anything. Meh, even any old uncle/auntie that was dragged onto the set for a one-off appearance give off a more convincing and amiable feel compared to new actors.

The new show, 幸运心, 看起来似乎蛮好看的. 或许又是因为 范文芳 是情节的主角吧? 但是, 有经验, 演艺有不错, 加上一个 "大概" 刺激的童年爱情情节, 我蛮期待的. 那是, 若我能记得收看的话... 矣, 还是觉得旧一代的演员有料. http://ch8c.mediacorptv.com/shows/variety/view/887/1/.html Meh, especially the people who appear in the photographs there, damn memorable. I'm a fan of Mark Lee. =D
