my dear juniors.. if you happen to read my humble blog.. take my advice and stopping mugging.. what's the rationale of cramming loads of information into your brain only to forget when you wish to retrieve it back. seriously, mugging is an utter waste of time. don't you agree. come on la, will you ever apply mole concept or logarithms or even comprehension skills to your daily life?
you guys can only consider all those rubbish you put inside your brain to be useful if you plan to be a teacher. do you really want to be a teacher? teachers age faster than other professionals. if not, why bother studying too hard? studying hard is essential but to the extent of mugging till you experience hypotension, it's ridiculous!!
anyway, i know you guys don't have a choice.. bleah..too bad..
tell you what, go jc and be a nerd or to a poly where you'll be an all-rounder ( cool and hip and smart and hot and sexy and of course ready for the working world ).
study hard but not too hard k you guys.. get the As, but don't force yourself till you feel like pulling every strand of hair on your body. ouch.. just hit the 75 mark, no need to hit 100, that's just stupid..
some study tips for you guys... *oh im so kind*
1) no inteference when you're studying. that means, studying at fastfood restaurants is a no-no. there's too much noise and movement. music should not be plugged to your ears, seriously, the music will only be a form distraction.
2) sleep. no.. i don't mean sleep while you're studying, i mean sleep after you are done. sleeping will allow your brain to organise information that you had entered for easy retrieval. and don't sleep even before you start studying..haiyo..
3) exam position. what do i mean by this? when studying, sit exactly how you will sit in the examination hall. your pencilbox/ water bottle should be exactly how you will put it on the exam table. this way, the brain will find the situation familiar and information can be easily retrieved during exam.
try it.. and you'll find your grades improving tremendeously!! wow!! these tips were given to me by my psychology lecturer, dr thomas lim.. that's why im smart even without mugging for 10 hrs everyday....erm...heehee
