Actually, I was sitting there waiting for the shuttle bus, but it never came and I got impatient.
Plus, I was feeling tired from the day's hard work and wanted a shower real bad!
And, CSI provided the extra erm... impetus!
Y'know, the journey to my workplace by taxi is just 10 mins during off-peak periods and it can be up to 45 mins by bus!! -
OK, I'm growing old...
Just the day before, I used a roll of tape and a pair of scissors, then, I placed them ... 'somewhere'...
Now, I cannot, for the life of me, find them!!

i am 23 and i am so absent minded already
last time used to haolian my ability to do mental calculations, good memory

Lau, I guess it's because of stress and the lack of good-quality sleep. That can render even a teenager absent-minded.Originally posted by laurence82:better than me

You can't exactly concentrate and perform well in tasks that require brainwork, if you don't have enough sleep. -
Oh, I heard that there are some students who'll take Gingko Biloba towards their exam time.
Gingko Biloba is an herb that's known to improve memory and brain power. Don't know how true it is though. Maybe, it has a psychological effect on some folks. -
Hmm strange thing is, i can remain awake for hours if there is some work to do, like exams to study for, when my frens are all sleeping like logOriginally posted by Rhonda:Lau, I guess it's because of stress and the lack of good-quality sleep. That can render even a teenager absent-minded.

But nah, i dont think its the stress, just purely being absentminded.... -

It is not cheating per se because it's not like you squirreled in some paper with answers on it and sneaked peeks at it, or peeped at your friend's paper.Originally posted by stellazio:in sports competitions(exams) they are banned..for it gives unfair advantages to those who uses it..likewise they should do so for exams..i mean if you wana cheat,must cheat with pride and guts..den got "honour".. 
You're just doing things to make sure you are at optimal performance level.
If you call that cheating, then, having enough sleep before your paper can be considered cheating too mah! Cuz that would give you an 'unfair advantage' over those who didn't sleep because they ling2 shi2 bao4 fo2 jiao3! Right?
Then, how about those whose moms make them drink Chicken Essence? Is that 'cheating' as well?
Stella, what have you been taking? It's messing up your mind and your critical faculties!! -
Please, don't try to be a bad influence to me - I'm too strong-willed for you to handle!Originally posted by stellazio:Let me introduce you to a "D" word too...

arrr..with those points u listed,i probaly understand the reason between me being stuck in an A+ and not an AD..seriously i don't take in those performance enhancing herbs..cause i don't think it works,like superstition like that..Originally posted by Rhonda:It is not cheating per se because it's not like you squirreled in some paper with answers on it and sneaked peeks at it, or peeped at your friend's paper.

Hec i study lot better after NS than b4
Before my A level, i had the tendency to procrastinate, till last min
After NS, as soon as lectures stop and study period begin, u will find me everyday in the library or benches, pegging away, a scene that is rare in JC -

Aiyah... in JC, I was more interested in paktor-ing than anything!Originally posted by laurence82:Hec i study lot better after NS than b4

Imagine, my Geography lecturer actually walked up to me and said, 'I know what your problem is - paktor-logy!!' after my year-end results failed to qualify me for my 2nd 'S' paper.
But you know, my failure to make it to the Uni after my 'A' levels, which was incidentally the first major academic failure in my entire life then, spurred me on to get Dist's in the courses that I took subsequently. -
were you in all girls school before that?Originally posted by Rhonda:Aiyah... in JC, I was more interested in paktor-ing than anything!

Anyway if you had done well in As,would you have gone on to study medicine?
