OH darn. i just realised i dont have notes on like 3 to 4 chapters for materials science cos i just woke up... from a long nap.. lol. (after coming home from so-called-lunch with yu lyn and bobo at temasek? @@)
GAH! isnt it a lil too late to realise it now?
=/
Thinking what am i suppose to do.
Go straight to the past year papers?
It would be too time consuming to go through those chapters one by one.. =(
Yet, those are among the chapters i dont understand the most. HEH.

Material Science
Haha. Yes I've Material Science Exam tomorrow.
No, Im not here to complain about it.
Nope, haven't finish studying. Only studied 2 chapters yesterday. YES. I know, amazing right. Out of... God knows how many chapters. Haha, dont worry la, i had short notes written on previous chapter. I just hafta flip thru em and do past year papers. Afterthat, it's all left to fate to decide whether i can solve the questions during the exam.
Anyways, that's not my main point. My main point is, I was watching this concluding lecture by professor Boey which i missed. WELL, i pretty much missed 80% of materials science lecture =P YES, i've been skipping. Cos there's lecture recording on the website and well, most of the time in lecture, i'd fall asleep. Besides, watching lecture recording allows me to study at my own pace. I can rewind and rewind and rewind again until i get what he's trying to say.
SOOO, i was saying, concluding lecture by professor boey. IM SO GLAD they put the video in as well. He's hilarious and darn, he managed to trigger my interest for material science alright. =D
LET ME TELL YOU THIS, material science was one of the subject i hated most when i first came into uni. Cos it's relatively new to me and i came in late and missed out the first few lectures. I just felt left behind and I started hated it. AND YES, i've done NONE of the tutorials. Not a thing to be proud of, but yeah.
The thing is, when we were taught about sth, we were given the mindset of, "WE'RE STUDYING THIS FOR EXAM. WE'RE STUDYING THIS SO THAT WE CAN GRADUATE. "
Or at least we were driven by that thought all these while.
WHY?
How come they've never told us, and relate all these to what's surrounding us?
It's just like, we learn calculus for the sake of learning it and passing exams. But nobody told us why we learn calculus. What are the applications and amazing things it does.
If only people start studying for the NOT for the sake of scoring for exams, instead, look at it more like, understanding what's going on and graduate with TRUE knowledge instead of scores. WHAT does scores prove?
Why are people so adamant about perfect CGPAs and all?
At the end of the day, what's left?
I mean, if u know what you are studying (I prefer to name it "learning" rather than "studying" though), it comes to you naturally.
At the end of the day, if you know what you learn, i think that beats perfect CGPAs who studied for the sake of exams.
To come to think of it, maybe those who score well at the end of the day, are those who weren't adamant abt their scores in between.
They believe in what they're learning and they only had to prove to themselves they are right.
Not to anyone else.
cos everyone is so kiasu. learning lose its meaning.

NightmareS.
i cant sleep.
having insomnia.
i had 2 nightmares in a row within an hour.
1st one, i felt suffocated. Both in the dream and in reality.
I really couldnt breath.
Then 2nd one was scarier. Thank god bobo called me. But gave me a shock also. It's like someone calling 5am.. Thought who's it.
But i was relieved to realise it's just a nightmare. Cos it feels so real and scary and the plot's like in the current hse im staying at and I WAS ALONE.
I think it's the coffee taking effect. i slept abt 4am.. my heartbeat was racing and all. Took me sometime to actually sleep. After bobo called, i didnt dare to sleep anymore and i locked the room's door. Hoping to feel more secure.
Grrhhh.. havent had nightmares for darn long a time.
So i stayed awake till bobo came, 5+am abt 6am. Then i was so awake talking to her till now. Now she's sleeping and i cant sleep. it's 7.36am now.
I slept for only an hour plus but im so awake. I cant sleep. And if I sleep, i just get nose block. I cant breath.
So what am I suppose to do now?
Heh, quite some stuff to blog abt but been lazy for the past few days. Not so much of lazy, more of distractions. Heh =P youtube etc... =)
Alright, i shall try to sleep. Since now it's bright and bobo's beside me, so it should be fine even if i get another nightmare right? TOUCH WOOD. Dont wana get another nightmare.
sigh. nose block!

I feel restless. In a good way i guess?
excited? one more week... so long! =/
and yet tomorrow's physics. tried the past year questions.
as i've predicted and expected, open book exam also no use.
Usually open book exams are the difficult ones isnt it?
Tian xia na you na me pian yi de shi. =/

Dear God,
I have prayers to make.
1. Bless my grandma and hope her cancerous cell will be gone in no time. =)
2. Lead kevin out of the misery he's facing.
3. Let all the pain tara has faced to call an end before xmas.
4. Sprinkle blessings all over the Earth. Let my family and friends live happily and healthily.
5. May bobo find her hostel/hall room's card (key) by the time she gets back to singapore. I'm sure she has learnt her lesson. (BOBO, make sure u learn ur lesson and stop being so clumsy!)
6. Extend your guiding hands to those in need. Including me =) But help those who need it more first.
Dear God, will you hear my prayers? Will you make it come true?
Thank you for managing us human for so long. Lol.
San fu sai lei la... ^^
