Study?

October 5, 2007

JiaWei asked to meet at 10 in the morning today, to study for DNT.
So this morning, at 9:52, I received a phone call from KianWei, and because it's only 8 minutes before our meeting time, I rushed in and out of the bathroom. And gave KianWei a call as we plan to meet at Thomson CC first before heading off to Toa Payoh. He told me he hasn't bathed yet. So I ate breakfast at home. We ended up meeting at roughly 11AM. Decided to eat first, so we ate at the food court underground of Toa Payoh interchange. Later on we went to Mos Burger to carry out our study. We took out our notes and stuffs, and started chatting the whole time. Cool.
We thought the noise level and low temperature was preventing us from studying, and we decided to move on to Toa Payoh Community Central, which was the exact opposite of Mos Burger. There it was extremely quiet, and the Sun was burning hot. Although the noise level and temperature was the exact opposite of Mos Burger's, we sat down and carried on chatting. We figured we couldn't bring ourselves to study and decided to play pool instead. What a wonderful study session.

I was listening to this song today when I recalled someone who once told me how much she wanted to die.
So as I was listening, I was changing the lyrics to suit her at the same time…
Here it goes:

God broke the mold when he made me when he knows
I am breathing unwillingly
I walk out the door so pressured
Feel I should never face the world
They all've got so much dough
So much ice their necks and wrists froze
Is it fair to me, hell, no
But I choose to carry on, living
Tell me is this torture worth taking
Don't know what's the reason that I hold on
When I know that life, has a role for everyone but me
And I've been treated too unfair
I've been treated as one of a kind
Hey
Used my mind
I should die coz I'm so sure that
I can't take
Stepping out the door
Coz' I know that I've no role to play
In this world at all
Just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
I'm just like a piece of art that's an eyesore
In a gallery
I'm so confused
I know I deserve more
More love and more adoration
But it's hard to not ignore me
I really don't know what to do people
It's just a matter of time
Before you find that you all wronged me
After you're done mocking at me
Step back before I knock your lights out

Ah, crap. Of course, this song should never be recited mentally as over recitation of this would lead to living by it.

Giving up?

N Levels, O Levels, whatever level you're taking. You're bound to hear people saying they want to make it through, but at the same time, also deciding which ITE to go to, retain or go to NS, or spend and be a private candidate.
See the contradiction in their thoughts?
People often use “try” as an excuse to fail. And then using “failing means learning” as an excuse to just try.
This cycle goes on and on, people say they try, they fail, say they were just giving it a try, and then say they learn something from failure anyway.
If you think this way, you know what, you're never gonna stop trying and stop failing. You will keep trying, keep failing, and keep “learning.”
You're never gonna succeed.
You keep thinking “Try and fail, it doesn't matter, it's just a try. I can try again.” 
You HAVE to think “Do it, if I fail, I WILL do it better.”
If you use “again,” it simply means repeating what you've just done.
So if you did Step A and failed, by saying try again simply means you are going to do Step A again, and fail the same way.
If you use “can,” then it means you can, but you won't necessarily do it.
You have to say you will, or you must. So it will definitely be done.
It will be better if you remove, “If I fail.”
Because if you really wanna do something, you should research on it until you know that something inside out before doing that something.
Hence the only reason why you would fail is because of careless mistakes.
But then again, if you have done your research properly, you should have also have taken note of careless mistakes often made.
