back again. after another 2 months or so of absence. haha.
well, promos results are back. Thank God i did pretty well. i jump a couple of grades for chem and maths, and i am surprised that my physics marks bettered that of the midyears, considering that this physics paper was tough.
The downsides: my GP got an S (for satisfactory-not) and my econs grade deproved.
oh and there's chinese as well. but forget about that. the bigger exam is in less than 20 days time and yes, i will redeem myself!
dang.
otherwise, it has been quite a rewarding last 2 months. I really struggled to get myself into the mood of studying, and i think the study "outing" to changi airport with some 4k'07 guys really kickstarted everything. it seems awkward though to see each other studying different sets of notes now, when we used to share the same ones last year. But anyway, the content is very much the same, just that vj notes lack depth as compared to tj's. what can i do? welcome to "independent learning".
i just hope that i won't lose this fire in me come 2009. i want to be more focused and erm, less playful i guess? haha. there's this lazy bum in me and i gotta kick it out. seems that this guy started to creep into me ever since o levels ended. haha. it was all play and no work for months after o's(and that makes jack - or shawn - a dumb boy). nah, i dun wanna be dumb. haha. really gotta find that momentum going that kept me through the entire o level period last year. somehow, i find that i lack that determination and discipline this year. maybe its jc life? its more liberal and you take charge of your learning. So with so many distractions around and you lose your self-control, your "self" gets "controlled" by the lazy bum residing in you. it just goes on from there and there u have a domino effect. so its easy to understand why midyrs was such a disaster. there was nothing to stop the dominos from falling. luckily i found my sec4 buddies and changi airport. haha. and maybe, the shock from midyears as well (i got ACCDEE then).

i really pray that 2009 will be a better year. free from complacency, mischieve(okay maybe a little is fine), and laziness (but definitely this wont be the case. haha. i WILL strive towards it though, just like how perfect competition is desired but never exists. hehe)

nil sine labour!
