been kinda busy these 2 weeks.

had singapore society midterm test on monday. muilian say im quite well-prepared, which i kinda feel insecure. always felt that there's something i missed out or something along that line. this is the first time i put so much stress on myself for a midterm test. wonder if the stress was ever needed. but this module is one that i really want to get an A... for its pretty ridiculous for a 3rd year soci major not to get A in a level 1 soci module. im just praying for the ridiculous thing not to happen.

threw out all that i know on the 7 pages of essay, of which i couldnt finish writing due to time constraint. felt that i wouldnt do well because i havent finish writing all the Singapore nation building stuff. and i think what i wrote was almost totally crap regurgitated from the readings that was assigned to us in the reading list.

the one test really exhausted all the energy in me build-up for the past 5 weeks. didn't have the energy to concentrate on studying when i stayed back in school... totally knocked out by the time i reach home that i couldnt wake up for lecture on Tuesday morning. that sounds quite serious to me.

the rest of week been practically spent on consolidating notes so that i have a complete set for me to study during the recess week in preparation for the other 3 midterm tests that i have when we come back to school. 4 midterm tests altogether this sem. its like... break record for the most number of midterm tests i have in my entire nus life. thats bad...

take it in a positive light, midterm tests keep you on pace with the lecture... which means no last minute rushing through all the lecture notes and readings during the last reading week before exam. wish me luck!

been and is still going to stay in school till 10pm on days that i have lessons for studying purposes until the end of sem. the company is great, even though all of them have no subject in common with me. and the things that we always talk about is not constructive to help me in my soci modules... but im still enjoying myself and studying hard for the sem. please let me break the all time record!

sister is going away to china for SEP next thurs (which means i will have peace at home and at least 4 months of sleeping without the lights still on)... know im not going to miss her, not like i spend alot of time with her since im spending almost all my time in school anyway... the house is pretty much going to be empty though... when 1 is gone and another me almost gone... haha

chinese new year is finally over. had 5 reunion dinner altogether during the 15 days of 'celebration'... normal routine like going to the houses of all members of the tk gang except mine, went to almost all the relatives' houses, and my mum's boss's house. sums up: normal but enjoyable stuff. but not really in the correct mood of chinese new year though... dunno why, but i feel something is lacking.
