Yeah.. finally Swiss Cottage had made it! Haha.. it got Band 3 leh! Wow.. still can't believe my eyes when I saw the ranking of my school.. hoho.. thanks to me leh.. No lah.. it is the combined effort of each and everyone in Swiss.. Below is the summary of 0904 school ranking until my school (hehe..)
And so on..
Swiss not bad leh :P .. Actually for the rest of the 0904-cians and other people who have entered JC - you have done your school proud! Yeah, statistics have shown that only the top 10% of the primary one students can eventually make it to the JC! Wow.. all of you guys have done so great! Clap.. clap.. Continue to jia you and jian chi! We can make it! I think that is all for today.. I better go to "jia you" and "jian chi" (mugging lor..) for my studies now..

I think I have lost my gamble
After the amoke method of studying, there is only a slight improvement of my results. I had passed my maths finally and gained the back the confident. However, the rest of my subjects remained. Frankly, I am on the verge of failing my promos. In other words, I may not be promoted. What should I do? Should I change my study method again? Or should I seek help from others? I don't know. But I hope that my feeling can bring me to the correct path. And this is the final chance. I must not fail. I must get over it. It is a must. And there is no doubt about it. I know that this period of life is nightmare but it cannot be worse anymore. Just cope with it for another 2 weeks (I will gone crazy for another 1 second of this kind of life) and it will be over. And I wish that this over is the new beginning of me, getting on the J2. Sigh, I never feel that studying is so difficult before, it is really a horrible experience for me, and I think it is for other JC students too. Jia you people! WE ALL CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS PREDICAMENT! I think this is the last blog till after promo, so cya!

The Tham's Law
This law states that one's life can be improved tremendously with optimum planning and organization. It consist of three main steps: Process, Peformance and Outcome.
Let's begin with the "process" step. This is the only step which can be controlled by human and is further sub-divided into three more steps: Technical, Mental and Physical aspects. The Technical aspect refers to the skill in doing your work. For example, the knowledge of biology to do biology stuff etc. Moreover, Physical aspect is the exercise you do for the preparation to do the work. For instance, running helps one to keep awake and hence, can concentrate on studies. Finally, the mental aspect is the self-discipline to focus yourself to do the work.
Performance is what you present to others when you have complete your preparation (process) while outcome is the result you get from your performance. This two steps cannot be controlled directly and hence, one must start to work hard at "process" in order to have good performance and outcome.
So how? Are you guys motivated? Or totally don't get what am I trying to say? Anyway, this is way my Maths Tutor (Mr. Paul Tham) told us during yesterday lesson to motivate us. Is this motivation effective? You guys can rate it for yourself..
Good night and let's look forward for the end of the promo! ;P (haha.. promo haven't even start now think of post-promo period liao.. hehe)

一劍 一簫 走江湖
Finally, I am reawaken. I realise that practice makes perfect and lazy brings one to his doom. I shall not be slack anymore. I shall not dream that I will improve automatically without training. It is the sweat, strength and energy that one contributed during training, which are converted into skills that he aquired. I honored the chinese poet who said, "huang bu fu ku xin ren". The one who works hard and persevere will succeed in the end.
I shall work hard to achieve my path of wisdom and flute supremacy. Behold my power! Hahaha(evil laugher)! Armed with my xiao(chinese flute) and sword(knowledge), I will cruise in the jiang hu(AJC)!

Limiting Factors
I am frustrated with myself. Why do I still get bad results when I study hard? What's wrong with me? Am I deprived of something which contributes to achieve good grades? Agh.. I am pluzzed and confused.. but there is no one to guide me out of this predicament.. help me..
Does good genes are passed down from the eldest to the youngest until its depletion? Why is my sister and twin brother are exceptionally intelligent? (For your information, my brother gets A for C-Maths and B for physics and he is unhappy about it) I seems to have an answer in my mind. A sad one. However, I must face the fact that I really must work really hard to get good grades. I am always envious of the intelligent people (I thought that I am an intelligent person last time) because they can absorb information effortlessly. Sigh, where do I stand?
At JC level, when everyone is almost the same intelligence ( only top 10% of the students when to JC), you really need the "smart brain" to outshine others. In other words, "smart brain" is the limiting factor of the JC education system.

My Swiss Gang - Allied Forces
It seems that I was back to the past. My "gang" and I ate in the same old hawker centre (we used to eat during secondary school life) for a few hours. Everything became peaceful and relaxing. No stress. No pressure. My brain and muscles were no longer tensed up; if they were tensed up, they were recovering rapidly. I think this is what people called inner peace. When one achieves inner peace, he or she will be calm and steady. In other words, I feel comfortable.
I enjoyed myself throughout the whole of yesterday. We played badmintion (in swiss style) and playstation until the evening. Of course, we also talked rot for the whole day - this was the origin of my high level crapping skill :P. Happy moments are always short but they are meanlingful. Yesterday ended quickly but they created a significant impact in my life: Cherish Friendship. They are priceless.
