Cold Summer

It's not been the most exciting start for the summer this year. Hot blazing sun and dry atmosphere accompanied by wet rain and cold wind, plus my exams haven't been promising. My exam timetable was pretty cool, all three fell on Saturdays, so I had like 1 week in between to prepare. But sadly, it did not happen for me. I took my time too long, and the preparation was like, shyt. I guess I took things for granted. Why o why I never learn from my mistake. So is history going to repeat itself again? Oh goat, please no. And I just found out that 2 subjects that I am taking this semester is a pre-requisite for subjects in the coming semester, goodness me. Just hope and pray that I will pass this semester. I'm getting tired of having to go thru this over and over again. Yea, I admit, I am not those studious kind. I may look smart but maybe too smart for my own good, pfft. Today I finished my last paper, it is a 3 hour paper with 8 questions and the best part is, it is an open book examination, means I am allowed to bring any written document/text into the exam hall which is of course, helpful. So there I was, sitting on the table, flicking thru the exam papers during reading time and determining which question to do first. Reading time is up, and the first thought came to my head, how easy this exam could have been if I am fully prepared for it. So I get to work and started with the easiest question and ironically I got stuck. Isn't life full of irony? I was so confident that I could complete the question in a matter of minutes, but sadly, no. Didn't happen, but finally got it done and wasted some precious time, and it goes on and on, as I do question after question and then the invigilator announced that there's 30 minutes left. I didn't panic, because I was fully aware of that since I can hear the clock ticking right in front of me. I was still trying to work out the answers for some questions that I thought I might be able to get some marks. In the end, to no avail, I couldn't complete my paper. I left the exam hall with the feeling that I knew I could have done better but it is too late now. After completing the exams, I finally realise, how dreadful and pathetic this semester had been. I have to admit, a little miracle is needed to save my screwed up semester. Depending on my results, perhaps I should really sit down and think, whether I should continue studying or not because I have to admit, I haven't been a responsible student and son. Results will be out in a week or two, and in the mean time, I only can sit and wait or perhaps pray as well.


Thought of the day

I was wondering, back then when I was a kid, how the hell did I study? I don't remember putting too much effort into studies and yet still be able to be among the cream of the crop, sigh. Perhaps time has changed, and I am at a different level. I remember back in pre-U, when I did CPU in Taylor's, we have like quizes and homework. Those stuff really help a lot, so I wonder, what did I learn for the past 10 years plus when I was in primary and secondary school? What is the Art of Learning? Where the hell is my self-discipline? I think I am at the stage where I will be able to come up with these answers.


Continue...

So, summer holidays are here, and to be honest, I was looking forward to this one because it will be my longest break for almost a year, well minus the fact that I was actually holidaying during the semester. But now, with how things stand, I don't think this would be the summer that I hoped for, this cold cold summer.

Food for thought

This entry will be short and simple. I came up with this statement/quote, what ever you want to call it, and sort of paraphrased it, just in case someone trying to say I am a copy-cat, yea, I took it from somewhere, sort of, but it is just a thought that I had longing to express, here goes;
"If friendship was biscuits, I don't have to worry that I'll get hungry in the middle of the night"

Anyone know what that means? Please kindly drop a comment or two, much appreciated, thanks.

Dark Times
After back to back defeats to Middlesborough and Lille, one can't help feeling that United is no longer the once exceptional team they used to be. Despite having a good start earlier in the season, well, you can call it a good start for a team that is hardly a threat up front, hardly string passes together and some what vulnerable at the back, United's weakness is starting to show, lack of depth because of injuries (dejavu?) and the list goes on. I got this quote from Soccernet.com, says;
"It was awful from United. Hesitant in defence, sloppy in midfield and static up front. Troubled times indeed."

Very well said. Can't help feeling how United fans will deal with this slump, oh, and don't just say "just look forward to the next game", cause the next game is not something to look forward to. Next game; Chelsea. We will see whether United can bounce back. Enough said.
