Life is meaningless especially when you have to stay at home after your examinations. I shall update the past one weeks of how I spent my day..
On the 13th of August,
I wake up early in the morning to rush down to SYC (Singapore Youth Centre) for duty with my sister. I reach there at around 1030; I thought we are the latest as we are supposed to reach there at 10. Guess what there are quite a number of my friends are late. We are supposed to have a chanting session at 11 to 1230 but it was delayed as all the youth are busy learning the dance steps that was meant for the family day. Respective members are supposed to teach the whole district at their meeting (family day meeting). After that all district 2 leaders and members had to leave for their family day at 2pm.
The whole day I was quite bored with nothing to do. Lixuan suggest that after our lunch we went upstairs to chant while waiting for all the District 2 leaders and members to come back. Actually this is just an excuse, we just wanted to past the time faster instead of doing nothing.
When all D2 members and leaders came back, soon it was Lixuan to go off to meet her friends for dinner. That was around 5 plus that most of then had left. So we had decided to spring clean the whole Kaikan. It was a tedious job as the kaikan is very big and spacious. We had to clean every level but I can tell you my job is the most relaxed as I only required checking every room to make sure that all switches are off, windows are off shut and lastly lock every room. Julie’s job is to mop the whole kaikan. Hers is the most tedious. All the girls are doing and suddenly I realised that all guys was missing in action. After we had finished doing chores, the guys are back. The timing is well plan.
We had decided to chat a while and leave the guys to continue looking after the kaikan while we girls, (Julie, my sis and I) leave first as it was already 9. We haven’t taken our dinner so we need to rush home to have our dinner that was prepared by my mother.
Even thought my whole day was just spent like this but I felt that my time was not wasted at all. I get a chance to spent with them, which is quite rare as we don’t really have the chance to gather all the youth together.
I shall end here as it marks the day of the day for me.
14th of August
I spent the whole day at home but this time can say I did not waste time being a crouch potatoes. I took out my textbook to read for leisure even though. I had finished my examination. I don’t like to read books just to memorise for the sake of examination. Tome understanding is the best as compared to you having a hard time to memorise all those that you simply don’t understand. What is the point of doing that? When you had understood the text, things will be much easier. Even thought the question twist and turn you can still understand what they are asking and explain all again in a simple language.
To me, study is not that difficult as you think. Sometimes, you need to learn to like that subject or else you will not score well. Our brain is a very interesting tool. Why do I say like this? Reason is simple, if you like the subject you will tend to study more than the subject that you don’t like. So why not turn all the subjects that you don’t like to those that you like and you will realise that you are studying it without you realise it, it happen to me. I don’t really economics initially; I even have the cheeks to tell myself that so what if I fail that subject, just retake la, as it I don’t have the ability. The more I think about it the more it does not make sense to me. So in the end I had decided to like economics so that I can pass the subject. I keep telling my brain that I like economics and economics is easy so as time goes on, I began to touch the book and study like no body business. Treat every subject like you like and you will realise it not that hard to study that particular subject.
Economics is a subject that is based on understands and no point memorise like a crazy fellow. You need to understand and apply it.
I got to end here. Thanks for reading my post:). Will continue when I have the time.
