mm..been kinda "muggin" the whole day...haha..and i've gotta admit that i'm kinda rusty at it after 4 yrs of not muggin. :) sigh..i wanna pass my promos..but i dun wanna juz scrape thru..i want to understand every single concept and formula. otherwise, when i get to j2, i'll juz die la. everyone's saying "aiya, juz promote first. nex yr then can buck up." haha..to that, i'll juz give em this ..|.. bloody hell, u expect me to cram 2 yrs of work together? i mean like, science is not sumthin u can juz look at it and say "oh i understand". rather, the impt thing is to know how to apply it. very frequently, in exams, the examiners juz hafta twist the question arnd and taa-daa. u won't know how to do it. so my point is that the basics have to be strong before moving on. everyone's afraid of retaining. and so i ask them "what's there to be afraid of?" because u'll waste one yr? because people will laugh at u for being stupid? or because u juz want face? frankly speaking, i dun give a shit about all those things. tchs has taught me a lot of things, because i literally advanced my way thru. i dun see the point of advancing to j2 when ur basics can juz be toppled with the flick of a finger. ultimately, the A levels are what counts. haha..maybe the common stereotype of retainees is that they're "dropouts", they're lousy students, they're losers of the sch. if u think that way, well, fuck you. i think they deserve some respect at least. just because u get good results, top the class or become the teacher's pet, doesn't mean u're god or sumthin. well, if u're muggin, u work hard, naturally u get good results. so be it. respect those who don't. hahaha..because u'll never know when its ur turn. :) ah well. the above post was juz to de-stress. no targets in mind. :) yup, back to my work.
