EXAMS.

 Well, if you're in secondary school now, good for you! Your exams are over. Sadly for polytechnic students, we're having our exams now. I'm not sure how you guys study but for me, I have a routine. I won't say I give the best tips but it might be useful! I won't say I'm smart either but I do have a GPA that many would rather have. To score well, you definitely can't wait till the last 2 weeks before exam then you study. Listen in class That's the easiest and the best you can do. Listening in class, clear all doubts, take down notes and you'll realise how much easier it is to study during exam period. Most of the tips are given during lectures, now you know why some got more tips than others? Write your own notes You should write your own notes. Definitely a to-do. Once you know the areas of focus, write your own notes. Write it in point forms, add colours to it. Use green or yellow(ugliest colours, but more effective colours) You should throw in colours to make your notes more interesting and put it in point forms make things easier to understand and remember. Lifestyle You can not study, sleep late and game all night during your normal school days but when it comes to exam period, you NEED to study, eat healthy, drink healthy, sleep early and exercise. You can't change your lifestyle instantly, therefore, start early! Eat berries and nuts, goooooood for brains and yummmmmm! Always drink a lot of water-plain water or juices. Avoid sweet gassy drinks, a little caffeine is fine. Move on I know how people always whine about how badly they have done, but once you leave the exam room, forget it! Whining won't change a single thing about that paper you just submitted. Get some chocolate or ice cream, cheer yourself up and work harder for the next paper. Reward yourself for your hard work. Don't be too hard on yourself. We're only humans. Plan Oh. Don't think writing your own notes is easy. It is not. It's time consuming and dreadful, but effective. DO NOT COPY BLINDLY. What you wanna do is read that topic first and plan how you would wanna write it. I won't say all teachers are great planners. Some notes do suck. Depending on your preference, create it the way you like it. For me, I like to put comparisons in table form, it makes reading a lot easier. And always use the words you would understand, forget all those big words, you're not writing a essay. Always check on words or term you don't understand, don't ignore. Read before&after I learnt in psychology that reading it a few times helps you to remember better. The best you can do is, read your notes before lecture starts and read it again after school. That's a total of 3 times already, you would more or less remember up to 70% of it. When you revise for exams, you recap! That's 4-5 times already. The more you read, the more you remember! I don't know about you guys but for me, I swear people that constantly complain about how low their GPA is, do nothing about it and wish for a GPA 4.0 annoys the hell outta me. Have you heard of Work Bitch by Britney Spears? " You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work bitch You want a Lamborghini? Sippin' martinis? Look hot in a bikini? You better work bitch You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in France? You better work bitch " What more do I have to say? Things do not just drop down from the sky. GPA 4.0 is not something people can send it to you like Farmville, YOU NEED TO WORK FOR IT! Forget everything after you finish your papers. HAHAHA! Kiddings. Or maybe not.... All the best! HEARTBREAK CHANGES PEOPLE.

We all have 2 sides. The wild side and the socially acceptable side. Heartbreak is a kind of pain that doesn't seem to have a medicine to numb it and memories that can't be forgotten.Fight or flight, human's natural reaction. When it comes to heartache, we usually flight, to numb ourselves, to escape. When we are numb, we lose control. We lose control of our wildness and the other side of us shows. We are all still good and nice people. It's just that we are no longer the same...... PUZZLE.

 To me, puzzle is like a problem, at the beginning you'll be clueless and all you want to do is give up. But all you have to do is find the corners, lay them out and look for the sides. Soon, you'll have the outline of it. With the outline of it, start from one corner and work with the picture patiently. Just like a problem, once you figure out the outline of the problem, you'll know how to solve it. And always solve case by case, don't jump everywhere wanting to solve all of it at once, it'll lead you nowhere. Divided attention always cause problems. Have a draft of how you'll solve it and follow it. Just like fixing a puzzle, begin with a end in mind. With the end picture at the back of your mind, you'll know where you're going instead of wondering aimlessly hoping to land at the ending by luck. Puzzles are like life, sometimes the pieces just don't fit, don't force it in. You'll spoil the pieces. Just like life, sometimes two people may look like a perfect match but they are just not meant to be. And when you force it, at the end, two of you will be hurt. Some people don't get along, it's okay, you'll find someone you can click with. Some people are more popular, some have more flaws but none of you are alone. Just like a puzzle, you'll always have someone next to you. And together everyone makes your world. Someone far away from you may be your friend's friend but somehow you're still connected. And there's your uncles and aunties, they may not be connected to you but they are connected to your parents. Whenever you wanna give up on life, think about it like a puzzle. No matter how tough it is, if you try hard enough, have enough patience, you'll solve it eventually. Life is not that hard actually. Find your other pieces and hold on to them tightly, don't loose them. ANNOY.

 Annoy. Annoying. Annoyed. Annoyance. This missy here is not just hot tempered, she's impatient too. Yea, I admit I have a very bad temper and I don't have much patience. Thus, a lot of things annoy me and make me wanna scream and shout. HAHAHA! And being a perfectionist didn't even help a slightest bit. I'm the type of person that gets angry very easily but I don't stay mad for long. But if you do annoy me constantly then yea, I'm probably stay mad at you for a long time or refuse to talk to you. I know sometimes I do some of the things below too, that's because I'm annoying and I know it. It's okay if you don't wanna be my friend. No shit given. So here's the list of things that annoys me: 1) LOL- Because I don't understand it, it doesn't even stand for laugh out loud anymore. 2) Insensitive people- Because I'm hypertensive. 3) Bojio- Really? You are not my one and only friend and I need time with others too. I know it's a joke but it's stupid. 4) Repeatedly doing a certain just to annoy me- Oh, come on! You'll already know it annoys me and you do it purposely to annoy me? Digging your own grave eh? 5) Long queues- Because I'm impatient. 6) Lags- Because I'm impatient. 7) Lack of seriousness- I can kid with you but when it comes to projs etc, you kid with me, I'll kick you. 8) Lack of effort- Because I'm a perfectionist. 9) Untidiness- Because I'm a perfectionist. 10) Slow texters- Because I'm impatient. 11) Talk in weird accents- Because I'm weird, I just can't stand it. 12) Rude people- Because they deserve to be slapped. 13) Beat around the bush- Because I'm too stupid to get any hints. 14) Stand on the right side of escalator- What can I say? We all hate them when we're in a rush. 15) Crowds- I hate body contact with strangers. 16) Small talks- No, I don't wanna talk to you. I hate small talks. 17) Indecisive guys- Because I'm fickle-minded and you're not being any help. Unless you're a girl. 18) Loud speakers- I mean people that talks like loud speakers. I don't need to know about your life. 19) Mean people- Because I'll cry if you're mean to me. 20) Impatient people- Because I'm impatient too and I'm trying very hard not to throw a tantrum and you're being any help to me. 21) Act like you know me- No. You know no shit about me. 22) Long walks/Heavy stuff- Because I will sweat. 23) Assume- No, I don't hate sweating. I don't mind sweating if I already know I'll sweat. Like jogging, so I know what to wear. Not when I'm all dressed up and I sweat. 24) Try to convince me- If I have already made up my mind, don't try to change it. Unless it's something illegal. 25) Ask why- Don't ask unless you really wanna know why. Don't ask for the sake of asking. 26) Last minute changes- Oh gosh! Who doesn't hate it? 27) Judgers that make their judgements known- I don't give a shit about you judging me but don't tell me about it cause I'll most probably consider strangling you. 28) All words but no actions- Heard of actions speak louder than words? Self-explanatory. Don't say you'll when you won't. 29) High egos- Don't insist you're right when you know you're wrong. Saying sorry isn't that hard. 30) Alot- Really? Really? URGGGGGGH! It's A LOT. 31) Grammar- You're/your it's/it they're/their then/than 32) Typos- Use some effort to correct it please. Refer to 8) 33) Cut queues- I'll cut your throat. Impatient girl queued for so long and you decide to jump queue? 34) Stubborn people- I'm not unreasonable. When I said no, just take that no. 35) Messy eaters- If you're below 12, I can understand. If not have some basic manners to clean up will ya? 36) Noisy eaters- Keep your mouth shut when you chew! I just cannot take it. 37) Blame me for every shit- I know my list of flaws is twice as long as an average person but I ain't Akon, you can't put the blame on me. 38) Unreasonable- Give me a very good reason why, prove me wrong or I'll be hating you. 39) Ask rudely- Try this word "please" Compare "Can you please shut up?" and "Can you shut up?" 40) All you do is complain- "GPA confirm will drop." Eh hello, if you're just gonna complain and not do anything about it then obviously it'll drop! The list goes on and on but I'm a lazy girl.... So byezzz! LIVE YOUR LIFE.

 People wouldn’t be as forgiving as they are now towards you, rules are stricter and you’ll be a little duller. Is that growing up? I think it is. Instead of studying, you’ll be working. Instead of the fear of failing, you fear of being fired. Will you still be able to dye your hair in crazy colours? Get high and skip work? School, you sure can skip it but work? HAHAHAHA! You try. I guess my point is live life young and wild while you can. You might not have the chance to be wild again. Stealing a peak into my future, I see myself in a hospitality field and it made me wonder how professional will I be? Blazer and heels every day? Tight hair bun with light make up? Smiling till my cheeks hurt? Realizing I might not have the chance to dye my hair red again or shave it it’s really……saddening. What’s holiday if your only holiday is when everyone’s working and when everyone’s having holiday, you’re running extra shift serving customers? Waving goodbye to June/December holidays will definitely kill me. No more extra time to just have fun. Right now, I can squeeze so many events into just one holiday but when working life kicks in, how much can I do in one holiday? Will I still have time for volunteering work and at the same time friends and family while trying to have some me time? I really don’t wanna grow up. All the restrictions my boss will forbid, all the free time I unwillingly give up. No more dress down day. No more skipping just because I’m lazy. How often will I get to wear my fancy dresses and cute hair accessories? I know I might still be able to live life like how I live it now, but the main point is I might not……. I don’t wanna live life seriously, I wanna make mistake and cry about it late at night when I should be sleeping but time wouldn't stop for us or rewind. While I still can, I wanna work less just to have more time volunteering and makepeople smile, dye my hair bright red at least once and spend every bit of my life crazily instead of wisely. Wasting time is definitely a bad bad bad idea. Remember to rest while trying to squeeze as many events as possible into your life though. |
