Timeless Zone
I have been living in a timeless zone since the beginning of the holiday. There are two major things that are happening in my life during this period: Self-study period and Chinese Orchestra. They keep ocurring until I nearly forget the date. I neither detest nor like this kind of life. I just have to been through it. Frankly, I have already "adjusted" to this kind of life. (Haha.. I get to see my friends everyday and can sneak out to play.)
I just want to be more aware of the time. May be I should look at my watch more often. (Joke)

Failure = Game Over
There is no room for failure in the world, especially in Singapore. Once you fail, it is game over for you liao. Diabloically, the society works in the principal of Dawin's Theory: The Nature Selection. Physically or mentally weak people get eliminated in each level of education. No one is given a second chance. The education system shows no mercy at all. The competition get stiffer up the education level because the requirement get more demanding.

After 10 years of Education, I am enlightened. I have realized that the amount of hard work one put in is not equal to the result he will get in the end. Actually, it is the the method he performs the task and the intelligent he has that will determine the result.
During my primary and secondary school life, I had always thought that the harder you work, the better the result you will get - it was true for that phrase of my life. I remembered during those day, I would work a bit harder and get better grades whenever I felt that my grades were not good enough.
However, this "ping shi bu shao xiang, lin shi bao fo jiao" method started to fail during my Junior College life. During my first three months, I could only get a average pass for all my subjects for my first common test. I was disappointed. But this was not the worst that I will expect. My grades decline proportionally with the time - I failed my promotional examination finally. Frankly, this was the kind of grades I have expected when I had my final common test.
Unfortunately, that was really what I got for my promotional examination. I think I really deserved it. Luckily, I managed to move on to J2.
"I have fallen once and I shall let this not repeat again."
But I must put this into my mind: Hard Work ≠ Result. I shall not study aimlessly and fail again. So what should I do? I think I should try and find my own study method and put in a correct amount of hardwork. I have seen a lot of people who mug like crazy but only get an average result. Conversely, I have seen a lot of people who study correct and get good grade. So what is they secret? I think I have got the answer. Firstly, they have a high intelligent. Secondly, they have used a correct study method.
I think I have a average or slightly higher than average intelligent. But I have used a wrong student method. I think that is the only way I can improve my grades. I hope so. Sorry guys.. I know I have crapped a lot.. ;p

Everything has a start; has an end - Project Work
I do not like Project Work. In fact, I detest it. Ironically, I felt lost when it was all over. It is like the kind of feeling when someone close to you depart. I hate to admit but Project Work has become a part of my life and I feel uneasy when it was over.
Just before minutes before the Oral Presentation, something memorable happened: When my group member was fliping through the pages of the Group Project File (GPF) to paginate, it was like the flashback of the whole process of doing Project Work. I could still remember clearly how my group members were unfamiliar with each other and I was the one who break the ice. But now our group has a speacial bonding with one and each - Team Spirit. Although my group is made up of people with different personalities, we fit with each other well. In other words, we cover up each other weakness with our own strength. Furthermore, the wonderful memories of the group coming together to do survey and oral presentation were still fresh in my mind - we had fun during these period. It is rather a pity that AJ054 and other Project Work groups are going to disintergate after the Oral Presentation - All the hard work and team spirit that were slowly built up in these 6 months will be memories forever.
"Everything has a start, has an end"
Project Work has no exception. It is rather a pity for the government to abolish Project Work in the year 2006. Our juniors can no longer experenice this special journey. The government should lighten the Project Work requirements instead of removing it totally. No matter how much I moan and groan, I have to accept the fact that the Project Work has come to an end. The joy, tears, sweet and sour moments occured during the Project Work has also come to a full stop. I hope that all the JC1 in Singapore has a torturous but fruitful Project Work experience. AJ054 rocks and so do other Project Work groups in Singapore!
The end of the Project Work marks the start of the new exam: Chinese AO. Frankly speaking, I have not been studying chinese since the june of last year. Shamefully, my chinese standard has dropped tremendously. I am actually starting to wonder how am I suppose to get an "A" for my Chinese AO. This means that I am going to mug chinese from the start of today if I really want to get good grades - second mugging wave after promo. Sigh, what a life..
Jia you everyone!

Have you ever wonder why the government forces all the JC1 to do Project Work? Do you understand the true meaning lies behind the Project Work? After half of a year of the horrible Project Work experenice, I have discovered the truth. Although we suffer in agony when doing Project Work, we gain a lot of thing from it - And we cannot deny it. For instance, we learn to communicate from Project Work. If we cannot communicate with each other effective, the group cannot function properly. Conversely, if the group member can communicate with each other well, the project will proceed smoothly. Futhermore, we learn team spirit. In the group, all the members have the same fate: They fail together when the project is rejected and rejoice togther when it is accepted. Team spirit is built within the group unnoticably and it is priceless.
You may think that I am a spokeman from the Ministry of Education, but think carefully: Do you gain nothing from the Project Work? I believe your answer will be the same as mine. Good luck for the Oral Presentation because this is the reaping of our fruits and the path to success! Do not worry about anything because we have done our best! Good night!
