EH. JEEZ. i swear i have no willpower. if i had even a trace of that, i wouldnt be sitting here in front of the computer, holding a nail clipper with one hand and dancing on the keyboard with the other..

anyway, over the span of a few weeks, i've ACCOMPLISHED quite a few things. such as concocting a list of studying tips. applying mainly to creative people, such as the ones in the kok family. if you already know all these, welcome to my league, fellow being. (=

1) i have invented a new dance (my sister calls it the chicken dance ) that had quite a few people emulating it after a while.

**********************
it all began one afternoon....

i was "hard at work" solving maths thingos without getting anything right when all of a sudden, i could solve a bloody question. so i jumped up and started flailing my arms with my head bobbing back and forth, oblivious to THE LOOK my sister was giving me.

and the victory chicken dance was thus invented, sparking aspirations of me being a dance choreographer next time... i advise you readers out there to invent something like that too. its nice to do a little jig when you finally solve equations/questions/...

***************************

2) i have learnt that in order to understand certain concepts better or solve questions, all you have to do is talk to yourself. it works. trust me.

3) sa jiaoing is NOT(i repeat. NOT) a good way to get someone to teach you maths.

4) putting many alarm clocks in front of your desk while studying is a good idea. better still, adjust all of them to different timings, so you wont know which is the correct one.

5) having your desk next to the bed is NOT. a STRATEGIC LOCATION.

6) having 15 minute breaks(sleep) in between mugging helps. AS LONG AS your phone alarm tune is a piece of music you have composed yourself. such as AN ALTERED VERSION OF MARRY HAD A LITTLE LAMB. this one really helps. you'd want to put out the sound as quickly as possible. wouldnt you?

7) go to the toilet often while you are studying. chances are, you may just catch the results of the EPL match going on. chances chances are, you may even catch a glimpse of a beautiful goal being scored, if you had picked an appropriate enough time. HOWEVER, this only applies to soccer fans.

8) if you own a copy of a book you dersperately want to read, lock in somewhere. then, throw the key behind your shoulders and don't look back. wait til your mother sweeps the floor and gives it back to you after exams.

9) if you want to relieve stress, come to my house. and be entertained. apart from having a taste of what its like being a VOYEUR(like counting how many people are studying by their windows in the opposite block), you can also have free entertainment by the "doggie/mao mao show", aka the voice over of soft toys.......

but for now, i shall suspend the rest of this list and quell my dreams of becoming a columnist. for now.

please tune in to the next episode of "ramblings" on 10/10/07. (if my willpower allows it)

oh. and if all these things doesnt sound strange to you, you are truly a friend! YO BUDDY! (=

P.S. erps. dun mind me. its just exam stress getting the better(or worse) of me.
