Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keep no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

chem and econs are over. hm..it was alright i suppose, though you never know..hahaa...sometimes things that i think i did well for i really did quite badly..and other times, i get unexpectedly "good" grades for something i thought i utterly screwed up..so..let's just wait and see ya? but i think should be all right...think that i really stayed very orthodox for the econs paper, both for essay and case study...didn't really drift off to be on the safe side, it wouldn't be spectacular marks, but at least i know it won't be completely off either, its literally everything frm the notes..verbatim.. nowadays i only reserve my adventurous pen for private writing and s papers only...its too risky for 'A's..anyway..you don't really need to have lyke spectacular essays, but one that has all the points....practicality...
after e blocks...there's the nefmq finals on july 24th, and that award thingy on arnd that time too...wonder how i'm going to cope...guess i shouldn't complain, at least i've had more time to revise than those having competitions in july... and the fact that i really enjoy what i'm doing should do wonders for my endorphin levels...maths and bio are e next 2 written papers...wonder how bio will turn out..haven't been able to get much studying done for it...:S guess we all make sacrifices here and there...its just that this is probably e first time that i've never been able to complete my rev before..
also..i really should start playing squash again..ever since nationals was over, i've been rather slack [physically] and i'm really beginning to degenerate..think i might have been forgotten how to hit a squash ball...hahaa...

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."Day 1 of Block Test draws to a close. Guess things will turn out all right I suppose. Tomorrow's another gruelling day of tests - chem and econs. Both highly strenous, and I wonder if I'll still be alive after it all for another 2 more days. But I suppose I've done all I can, (given the limited time), and yes, just hope for the best.
Econs especially is giving me a headache. Personally I hate to take econs papers, especially when you are supposed to score well. It takes out all the fun in the subject, and there's hardly any time left to reason, to think. All I'm really doing is regurgitating everything verbatim from the notes. Are these ideas ours? Do we really understand and believe in them? Isn't econs supposed to be about application and understanding, about logic and reason. Not another memory work subject. I'm not talking about inventing new theories or coming up with some brainy reason to explain some strange phenomenon, but the rigidity of the system really leaves me hardly any room to breathe. So much for a social science. Econs with application is truly when the real fun begins, when theories are brushed aside for real hard facts, that are moulded by the situations around them. JM Keynes once remarked sarcastically "when the circumstances change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?".
Econs should be about equipping you with a set of skills to apply to the real world. Not about giving you chucks and chucks about what the role of monetary authorities is, and expect you to regurgitate everything out. Our education seriously demands some re-thinking.
