It's sunday. And it's ending soon. At least monday will be a short day, since it's teacher's day celebration.
I found out that I can study better at home, even though where I study, there is the computer facing my back, tempting me to switch it on. I didnt switch on the comp for the whole of saturday, and that in itself, is an accomplishment.
So what have I studied? Physics and maths; more of the former. And, I'm pretty confident that I will not be with Mr Lau aft the re-prelim for Physics; which can only be done by scoring within one of the top 10 positions. Kind of makes me wonder if my Sci A1 is finally down.
Also, I have set another resolution. It's much easier to accomplish, considering my avid interest in it. I'm going to read 10 pages of the dictionary in detail everyday. I've calculated that it will take me 190 days to finish it; but I happen to only have 60 odd to work with. I still believe with that 1/4 of that book, I can score a 6 for language for summary. 5 is not enough for my A1.
I'm still waiting to see, if it is going to happen again.
Hard work. It has always irked me to see people who work hard, and in the end, get rewarded with good prospects; something which I feel they do not deserve. Yes, working hard is a quality well sought after. But alongside that quality, should be other qualities which are worthy of praise, such as a touch of wit, genius or some brains. From what I see, a hardworking person with no brains or no skills should just become a slave, since that's what that person will excel in. I'm that harsh. The fact is that companies look for talent WITH the ability to work hard, not only the latter alone. Memorisation skills alone does not warrant a place anywhere. At least grow some brains.
I may sound sore, but that's the real deal; which will show with time. I just hope that when that time arrives, no one is crying.
