029 夜把心洋葱般剥落
Friday, May 15, 2009 10:13 PM
World,
I have been rather reflective these past few days. I have done a lot a lot of reflection before I sleep almost every night.
I think of my own abilities.
I think of my own potential.
I think of how far I can stretch.
I think of how much I've disappointed teachers.
I think of why I've not been improving for certain subjects.
I think of why my study strategies don't work at times.
I think, I think, I think.
After all the thinking, it leaves me nothing but 2 sentences:
"The amount of passion you develop for a
subject does not equate to your desired
results"
I believe it's kinda true for some people. You may say, you love Additional Mathematics, but your results isn't a good match to your passion for it. Or somehow or rather, in the oddly amazing way, if you happen to loathe Physics a whole lot and still manage to score well at it, then I've to say you're a pure genius, or you're one Science freak. Ha ha ha.
"I, PERSONALLY DO NOT WORK HARD FOR
THE SUBJECTS I DISLIKE"
Damn true, damn true. For me, I feel that it's the passion you develop in a subject that makes you constantly do revision. For me, revising for a subject I really like is a great pleasure, whereas revising for a subject which I totally dislike, is a tormenting struggle.
Take Physics for example. I've never liked Physics anytime this year. I guess it's because of my EOY results last year that caused my phobia for it. Many a time, I'll procrastinate my revision for Physics. Whenever I've homework for Physics, I always struggle quite a lot with it and I FEEL REALLY MISERABLE DOING THE TYS.
I feel that Physics is so difficult, it's making my love for it deteriorate. And you know me, I dislike studying for the subjects I do not like, so sighs. Told ya I'm prepared to flunk next Tuesday's Physics Mock Exam. Booohooo, yes I asked for it.
Many students moan upon mentioning the word 'study', feel totally demoralised when they don't achieve the results directly-proportional to the time taken to revise and grumble when they see their friends score better than them with less time spent for revision.
Ask yourself, have you studied enough? Or are you merely flipping through textbooks to search for so-called important definitions and formulae to memorise? How could you compare your laziness with others who APPEARS not to have studied hard for the exam and have scored way better than you? Search your conscience please, I'd say. Furthermore, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF THAT ASS-GENIUS FRIEND OF YOURS DIDN'T STUDY AS HARD AS YOU, OR EVEN HARDER THAN YOU?!?!
Weird. Senseless. Ridiculous.
I ain't pinpointing at anyone here. Just pointing out my views on the clear difference between studying 'breezely' and studying thoroughly.
Owell, moving on. I believe everyone has their favourite subjects. Of course, I have mine and I know all of you know what it is. Hhahaa. Needless to say, it'sssssssss
ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS!!!
Yes yes I know you've guessed it, no prize for having guessed it correctly. During one of the nights of reflection, I've done my 'Favourite Subject Honour Roll'. Here it is.
1. Additional Mathematics [MOST favourable]
2. Elementary Mathematics
3. Chemistry
4. Higher Chinese
5. English
6. Social Studies
7. Physics
8. History [LEAST favourable]
I bet many are surprised why Chemistry is actually ranked higher than HCL. Hahaha, I don't know why, but my love for Chemistry has escalated significantly this year! I don't know whether is it Miss Kho or myself, but I've truly, deeply, madly fallen in love with Chemistry.
And of course, I enjoy studying for Chemistry since it's a subject I love. Hahaha. No surprise, Physics and History are at the pit-bottom of the list. It's an irony, because I'm a History student, yet I dislike History so much. I can't possibly be a Geog student, because I constantly failed it in Secondary 2. Hohoho.
From my honour roll, you can see which is the subject I enjoy studying for the most, and the most miserable one. Hahaha. :)
Okay, I've blogged a pretty decent entry about subjects.
Just sharing with you guys, MISS LEONG TOLD ME TO
SHUT UP today during her lesson.
As usual, I was chattering away with Zhenyi and Uziel during her lesson. Haha Idk why, but I enjoy talking during Miss Leong's lessons. And today, I was talking EXCEPTIONALLY LOTS hence Miss Leong couldn't take it anymore and she said,
"Yong Kian stop talking. Can you shut up?!"
HAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA OMG DEAD SILENCE IN CLASS IN AN INSTANT I SWEAR! Even I was shocked by it. Not that she exceptionally favours me, but I didn't expect that phrase to pop out of her mouth, lmao. Still, the tone was still softer compared to the one Uziel kenna. HAHHAHAHAHAHHAA!
But seriously, seriously, seriously, talking to Zhenyi and Uziel during Mathe lessons is DAMN NICE! If you don't believe, you can ask them! They'll definitely agree with me. Wheeeeeeeee :)
That made me delighted for at least half an hour I think.
After recess, received my Chem Mock Exam script back. Had several careless mistakes here and there. Lesson learnt: NEVER JUDGE THE QUESTION BY THE NO. OF MARKS. For instance, a question may require a two-part answer but only carries 1 mark. Grrrr. I lost like 2-3 marks cos of that, made my 'A' fly away totally.
Still, it's an indication to tell me NEVER TO STOP WORKING HARD FOR IT. Success never comes easily. You gotta work hard to achieve your goals. Hence, I shall work doubly, triply, quadraply hard during the June hols! Who wants to join in the fun? You're always welcome. :D
Guess I'm stopping here. Ciao.
