Holidays

Hmmm...........nothing to write about for the holidays. It's ok. So far so good. A little boring. To fill my free time I had to study. Study, and study. Well, now i'm studying Sejarah Chapter 7 Form 2. I don't think I would make it studying Sejarah and Geography during this holidays. So.........Sejarah would do. Planning on doing some pass year questions before the exam on Monday. Goegraphy.....i'll just do some pass year questions too. Anyway, teacher already asked us to do a lot of question papers in the month of July. I think that would do.
 
My way of study is to study relaxing. Relax a bit while studying. Mostly I study lying down on a bed or the sofa. Study one chapter then have a drink and rest or play the guitar. Want to study also must relax a bit. Studying too much at a time can be stressful and it might not be good for you. Sometimes studying too much will just make you more worried about the exams and you would tend to forget what you have studied. Though some people say that you shouldn't study with music but I still do it. But don't get too distracted. You need to go out for a walk sometimes to release stress. This is how I study. Very relaxing. On the day of the exam, I try not to study. Just flip through the pages. I need to be confident and not too worried. When I look around the class I see people looking very stressed out and asking their friends questions. I think they are too worried. Hey, we must chill. Calm down.
 
Competetive spirit is also good. Compete with your friends and see who will get higher marks. Comfort yourself by singing a song. Always smile, laugh and be happy. It is good for you.

Maths was TERRIFYING!!!

 Today we had maths percubaan. It was extremely tough especially paper 2. Paper 1 was ok (not to say perfect because had to tembak one). But paper 2......paper2 was shocking. I was scared. Scared to get wrong. I was aiming to get 100% for maths but I don't think it is possible now, unless a miracle happens. Talking about miracles, my friend Timothy was praying to God to help him iin a question for paper 1 and suddenly...............a figure appeared. A number. The number - 9Light bulb. Then I think he got that particular question right. God is trully great!
 
As I was aiming for 100% (actually I call it satu kayu, dua telur), I was extremely scared of making a silly mistake. So, for every question in paper 1 I did, I double-checked it on the spot. That means I did it twice. As I was doing and doing until question 25, I realised I was running off schedule. So I sped up. After finishing once, I checked again. That would mean I triple-checked my paper 1. Altogether I only tembak 1.
 
Then......in paper 2..........1st question:
....+2(15-56/3)
Oh no, i'm not sure which to do first.Surprised
Then advancing into more detailed work:
sin x'=8/17
Therefore, cos x'=15/17..........?
Ok, what then is 1-cos x'?
Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooooo................
In the end I had to come up with some type of wierd answer.
x'=15/17 X cos^-1
I bet that it is wrong.
 
So. how unfortunate. As far as I know, I have never gotten 100% for maths or any other subject in an EXAM. Only tests. Well, what is done is done. I can't do anything with what I have done. Leave it all to fate. I can only trust and have faith in what I have done.Sad
