Saturday...

tis post is going to be dedicated to a fren, a junior of mine...so yah...the main portion of this post will be for her...
lemme juz leave the beginning part to some other stuff first...

yea iwan, feel free to do dat....u hav a good one too....hahaz, sounds like u've been to philly before or sth lydat....

planned where to go todae....we'll be visiting the most visited National Park in US for thanksgiving holiday....which is the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, which spans North Carolina and Tennessee...more details abt tis later....i wanna go to my main topic oredi...
**************************************************************************************

i'm dedicating tis post to my fren and her sis...
hey girl, i dono if u r reading this....but i juz thot of dropping u some thots of mine...

hmmm, first, i admire ur maturity and discipline in setting goals for urself...at ur age, i was still happy-go-lucky all dae long and other than being not bad at soccer, i was onli good at infuriating my teachers, some of whom didn't like me cos i pulled down my triple sci's class's avg grade for certain subjects...

next, i admire even more ur determined attitude in going out to achieve those goals...from wat i see, and wat i have heard frm ur sis, u r putting in like 110% effort! dat's good....

ur prelims hav started and the main papers r commencing soon....i wanna wish u all the best in ur prelims and especially ur O'lvls...
wanna impart some advice to u and some of my personal experience....

Studying hard is important....but it's not the onli factor.....Studying smart is even more important....
It's good to know your facts well, but make sure u do enough of the ten year series to roughly predict what kinds of questions will appear....
When i was taking my Olvls, i was lagging real badly in everythg and with onli 1 mth to catch up the curriculum for 2yrs, i had to resort to studying smart and boy, i was glad i did dat....cos it was not onli more efficient but super-effective as well....
Nevertheless, do NOT follow wat i did in the same manner.....
follow ur own studying style now....but if u are not already doing so, try to predict the type of questions that might appear for some subjects....

Next, just be yourself before and during exams...if u hav studied for it, it will be fine...and i am sure u will do fine if u stay calm and composed....
During exams, it's the anxiety dat kills many....by remaining calm, u'll remember all the facts, formulae, mathematical techniques and tricks, etc...and u will be able to solve most problems that come ur way in a logical and rational manner....

okie, i don wan to sound so naggy...so i shall stop here...hahaz...
but again, i wanna wish u good luck and jiayou k! if u need support, i'm sure ur family, and esp ur sis will be there for u.....and u got my support too...all the way....

hang in there a couple of mths more...and then u can enjoy ur hols to the max oredi....
trust me, it'll be worth the hard work....

yupz, see u nxt yr and yah, i'll be looking forward to ur email!
take care too Olive...talk to u again soon... =)

Enthusiasm is infectious...
Success is addictive...
Best thing: they are mutually-reinforcing... =)
