Headmistress

As I was browsing thru my inbox, I came acrossed this post which was written last month.

I didn't post it earlier coz I was busy too engrossed with my school work as well my exams.

A week before the school holiday, I got this piece of news...quite unexpectedly.

My headmistress of seven years got transfered to another school. And we're getting a new boss..whom just got her promotion from Senior Assistant to headmistress. As this will be her first time sitting at such position. Am keeping my finger crossed about our new head.

Though my former boss was far too strict in her duties and often placed us in tight situations. However, after 7 years, I had gotten used to her ways. Many a times, she was pretty annoying and was well known as a bullying boss that make our life a misery. Normal la...

I'm well assimilated to her ways after all these years.

I kinda missed my boss.

I went back to school a couple of days ago...I met her and noticed her teary eyes. She was clearing her things in her office. I walked up to her to wish her well.....when we hugged, I was about to burst into tears but I maintained my composure....!

Suddenly I felt such sentimental. ..(I used to be somebody tough and hardly shed tears)

Well....am wondering...how would my new boss be like? Is she gonna be an angel or otherwise..?

Looks like 2009 would be a question mark to all of us....!!!!

Reduce Tension

Completed my 3rd paper tis morning @ Pendidikan Moral Tahun 2. No comment about tis paper...all I could say is that it's a struggle to score a 'C'.

One more paper to go this Friday ~ Listening & Speaking and Teaching of Listening & Speaking. My brain is pretty exhausted rite now, I need a complete rest b4 I begin my revision for this paper....!

Hv u ever hear of "death due to over-study. The brain gotten too exhausted resulted from hard intellectual workload. One need to rest in between studies. Too much pressure will destruct the brain cells which will lead to death.

I will not put too much pressure on myself over my studies. Afterall, I know I will get my degree at the end of the day....and I don't need to be Dean Listed or a 1st Class Honours. Just a degree will do. Why susah...susah and make life so taxing..!!!

Rain all morn

It's been raining since last night. The weather is cool ..suitable for a non working Saturday. Am able to laze around the house doing NOTHING. Managed to read two chapters tis morning. However..am still puzzled over how much has actually entered da memory storage ? Need to perform some kind of defragmentations to discard the ever so many junks in it !

Ya...I need to take a break....yes..am getting reading to go out for lunch. My boy wants to have Jap food...so we're heading to Jusco. Prefer to come here coz more variety to choose from..and after makan...I need to buy some groceries as my kitchen had already shown a sign of "OUT OF STOCK" .

X'mas and CNY around the corner...need to get some new clothes for my boy. He had out grown his old clothes.....yes..need to get him a new set of uniform.

Shopping..Shopping...Shopping

Exams...

I’ve just gotten home from exams...my 2nd paper @ Program Bersepadu Sekolah Sihat. This paper was slightly easier but I mixed-up my points and facts. All jumbled up. However...I think I can get at least a B for tis paper. HOPEFULLY.

Am mentally exhausted now. The jam on the bridge was swelling up as I was driving home. Perhaps a Thursday evening, many office workers decided to leave early.

Earlier I was pretty nervous as I was leading up to the exam hall. My frens ensured me that I would do fine but I wasn’t so sure.

It was frustrating that I couldn’t remember anything. I’ve always had a hard time studying for exams because I need to be in the right environment.
I can’t study at home because there are just too many distractions. I can’t study at my mum's place because it’s too quiet..(no young children around to create the screams..)

I need something with a little bit of background noise but not loud enough to be a distraction.

The best place for me was my desk at work in my library after school hours. The fan was on so there was enough noise. Once in a while, a few pupils would pop up knocking at my door seeking permission to read some thing.
Then birds would chirp by the window to keep me alert.

Usually, I managed to get a few chapters studied over here but not enough to make me feel confident that I would do well on the exam.


During the exams just now...., I skipped a few questions because I was trying to answer the question that I knew the answers well. That way, I can worry about the other questions later.

Within the first hour, I had already gone through the whole exam and answered all of the questions that I knew to be correct. After that, I simply went back and attempted to answer the remaining questions.

Part A was fairly easy if one has an idea which were basically a straight to the point questions (10 questions). I didn't know how to answer some of them but I think I managed to perform pretty well in this section.


However Part B and C were tougher as it involved synthesis and analysis type of questioning.
I attempted to read in between the lines to look for clues but to no avail. In the end, I just write whatever that came into my mind. The examiner would have a great time dishing out the points from my writings. hahaha ..am hoping to get some compassionate marks..!

After flipping back and forth the paper a few times, I managed to answer all the required question within the stipulated time of 3 hours.


I’m relieved that I’m all done with this paper but I still have another two to go next week @ Pendidikan Moral Tahun 2
Listening and Speaking and Teaching of Listening and Speaking

Hope to be able to read my modules over the weekends..!

Coffin Ritual

Do I really need to lie in a coffin to ward off back luck? Looks likely...


Yesterday's paper was tough. Whatever I studied...didn't come out..! Instead those topics which I ignored were abundance. I was actually using my prior knowledge and common sense in answering those questions. Hopefully..."compassionate marks" will be awarded for creative writing...haha..

I felt so damn exhausted last night. Never before has an exam taken so much out of me. I had 3 hours to complete the paper and i thought I would need the full three hours but after two hours, I was done. I was practically unable to answer most of them....

I couldn’t study during the days before because I was preoccupied with stuff so everything that I was reading wasn’t sticking. I had to read over everything that I’ve read over and again. I would spend hours on one chapter and have nothing memorized. It was frustrating that I couldn’t remember anything.

I'll be making an appointment for the 'coffin ritual' soon. ...with the hope that the rest of my papers would be "peanut"..if not any 'nuts' will do just fine. I haven't been studying religiously coz I'm unable to concentrate and perhaps my rustic brain is not efficient like those younger days. It can absorb a certain percentage of facts only.

My next paper will be on Thursday @ Program Bersepadu Sekolah Sihat. Lots of terms to remember. I opted for the mnemonic system to aid memory. Guess I'm exercising both parts of my brain.

No matter how hard I study..I can't seem to remember much !
I need some luck and I am heading to the 'coffin ritual'... hahahaha....lying on my bed cocoon underneath my blanket. The weather is inviting as it's raining outside..the temperature is just right for a good night sleep. Will wake up later..maybe 4am to study. Perhaps with a replenished energy, I could concentrate better.
