Hi guys,
Sorry for the late late late post. Cause right after i came back from thailand, i need to prepare for my exams. But after spending a week of studying on the first module. When the paper starts, it was so different. Honestly, i barely done all the questions needed to do. Some halfway, some cannot do. Ya, you are not hearing a joke from me. It is happening in my life now.
Then i realise that me studying earlier wont make a different. Then come the nxt paper, as expected, i barely complete the questions, like the first one. So come the third paper, it was expected to be slightly easier than the rest. And ya it is, But i still barely handling it. I explain why later. Then the 4th paper is my killer, that paper is a confirm fail for me because i cant do most of the questions, like ya first part can do, secondly part cannot. Then the 5th paper, its an english paper. So wont expect anything special from it.
I still got a paper to go before the holiday starts. Technically this is what happen. I thought that with my poly standard, it will be a piece of cake for the exams, plus the fact that i have not been going to tutorials and lectures, slacking alot in the hostel, doing nothing. Thinking that i am so good. Sorry guys, the reality is always a nightmare, i met my match and now i totally regret what i din do in the past. Ya i may be the scholar in NP, but sorry i am not in NTU. I am not what some of u guys say, "You are larry le, the scholar that i know in NP" But in the end, i have to tell you that, whether u are a scholar anot, doesnt matter, it is whether you will continue to work for what u wan, or whether you will think that the teaching system is the same as what u are experiencing now.
I dun know abt NUS, but NTU to me, their different education systems are a killer to alot of poly students. Cause it is more book indepth. While NP is more practical indepth. So some people told me that, thats y JC students can score well, because in the end, it is how good u are in book and formulas. Ya, imagine u need to rem 5 chapter of formulas, and after i write the formulas out, it is 1 paper each or more for each chapter. So unless u are real good in those formulas, or u have to be a die hard book sinker. I cant, In NP, we practise pratical teaching, cause in working life, you need those formulas? You need, u can get them in books. Its not like the formulas are from books of secret and onli when u study it then they reveal to you, Harry potter huh. So formula tables are given in poly life, while Uni life is not. So i have a hard time getting all the formulas into my head.
But of course, i have onli myself to blame, if i always spend 1hr doing the tutorials each day, going for the lectures and tutorials, i wont be so bad now, and i can predict that i will be more prepared for the exam, then now, trying my best to do the barely make it exam. So guys, please dun be like me, do ur bit and go for classes, even if the class is boring, at least some thing is going from ur ears to ur brain.
Of course, after saying all this, what i can say is that, i will work hard in my next term, going to very lessons i have. This is what i think, u need a great fall to realise how it is like. Ya, it is almost 7 years that i have experience fame in schools, getting all those scholarship, but juz once, once of arrogent thoughts will make u fall down into pieces. And sorry for those that put their feelings and thoughts that i am very good or those that put hope on me that i will do well. But i wont for this term, but i promise i will in the coming term, and also for the rest of the uni life. But still, larry is a human, he is not the smartest ass u can find. In Uni, the most powerful one are the foreign, they are hell of good. No doubt.
Okie, thats all about the exam, now, i went down for trainings for the seniors all this while, cause we are joining a cheerleading competition coming soon. All of us are adults, so we dun need to be lectured to come down for training, but of course, we need to be responsible for our actions, once u agree to help and train, please come down and do ur part. Together we stand, divde we fall. Senior team are strong team and yes we dun need alot of practise to get things right. But we still need practise to perfect everything. At least we show the juniors that we are responsible for what we are doing, then we say some reasons and we dun train. :) But neverthless we still make progress and i so proud of the senior team, esp those older batch, so long liao, still so firm and enthu abt cheerleading. The never give up spirit is what is lacking now in magnum.
May all of us get past this year with peace and wonders. And good luck, peace out everyone.
