Rememeber to rest your eyes after every paragraph by looking far away.Especially those using LCD monitors... Don't spoil your own eyes. My text is small and background is dark.. so ur eyes may hurt when reading. My post is long :Dread biondi's post.. quite true...
http://spaces.msn.com/members/biondi/Blog/cns!1psUorbsFwe5H7Tuyh4z8Ezw!412.entryin reply to his post.. i feel tat wad he say is quite true.. but i think tat chinese is a better language than english.. english may seems to be easy but it is quite difficult.. in fact.. all languages are difficult.. it is also very difficult to master.. the basic of english is quite simple but to get to a standard range.. it is quite difficult in my opinion.. and i prefer chinese than english nt juz becuz tat i'm a chinese.. but i agree wif chinese tradition and wordings like poems and idioms more.. english hav a lot thgs tat contradict itself also.. i am not saying chinese dun hav.. but den english seems to hav more.. and it's also quite difficult to use different words to form a correct sentence.. chinese, in this case, seems to be easier..
and if one is able to master chinese.. it shows really how great the person is.. but no one can really master a language.. language can be improved when one use it for long and speak frequently.. even a 70 years old china man will also be learn more thgs.. yah.. i noe language is nt tat easy.. but i still decided to retake chinese o lvl exam.. language had change a lot since the olden days.. chinese have been simplified alot.. and wad students hav to do now is to memorise vocabs and the uses of the vocabs and some nice phrase for paper 1.. like tat.. A1 is somehow guarenteed.. haha.. tats y there is so many ppl getting A1 and 2 even though they dont speak well or write very well.. i feel tat this is quite stupid lo.. MOE hav this kind of examination where everyone juz hav to memorise.. memorise it and A1 and A2 is so easy to get liao.. i feel tat the MOE like tat only concentrate on the syllabus and teach wads in the textbook only.. like became learning deadly or blindly... wads the use like tat? all u need is juz memory work.. no wonder sg students is losing out... cuz everyone is taking the same subjects same exams.. talent cannot be noticed and developed further.. other countries hav lots of creative minds and talent becuz they hav a very different system... some ppl learn scoccer as young as 7 years old and the country is already helping him to improve on his skills and den.. win awards for the country... but in sg.. we muz hav 10 years of education.. standard education of eng MT maths sci all these.. den how to hav time for other thgs? and for those talents.. and they wanted to pursue their interest.. it will be a very very difficult task..
ok.. i was saying i retaking chinese.. hmm.. reasons for me to retake chinese.. firstly.. of course hope to get a better grade.. i wanted to count chinese in my L1R5 and my aim was A1!! but i got B3... quite disappointed.. i wanted to count chinese in as i hav no confidence in other subjects.. i consider chinese as one of my top subjects liao.. and i see chinese more important than any other sub except english.. cuz english u dun like u also muz learn.. english is needed almost everywhere.. no choice.. so... this 2 language is my top piority... i hav a mindset tat i am a chinese and i respect chinese and i expect myself to get a gd grade for chinese... i noe i am stubborn.. but this seems to be my set of 'principles'...so.. i am quite determined to retake chinese.. at least i try to get a better grade... another reason is also becuz i am nt satisfied wif my paper 1.. i know i did not do well for paper 1 section B.. cuz i hav no time to complete as i nv manage my time well.. it was my first paper tat time... nervous mah...so i dowan myself to regret for life abt this if i nv retake... if it happens tat i nv get a better grade.. nvm.. i wont regret retaking.. take it as an attempt to keep chinese in my mind.. to renew my chinese.. and improve my chinese.. if u all wan laugh.. go on.. and like wad kc say.. u all wan look down on me.. look down! i dun care...but i will admire myself for the courage to take again.. lol.. but wadever it is.. i am going to retake...
i dun care wad kc say.. say my opnions are wrong.. first time heard tat opinions hav right and wrong.. den he change his meaning.. say tat consequences are wrong.. omg.. i hav nth to say.. say until my consequence will be very bad.. y dont u think on the better side? like i get a gd grade..and it nv affect my other subject's grade.. isnt tat great? yes.. be more realistic.. but i think think think.. chinese.. not much to study also.. juz another revision of the vocabs and the skills to write a gd compo (u all may think i too simple minded).. further more.. i dropped bio.. i shld be able to manage.. u all may think tat i can spend this time on other subjects.. but to improve a subject frm an E8 to B3 is very very difficult.. like a maths.. i can i say i dun even noe the basics.. yes.. my e maths foundation may be gd.. but i find tat e maths and a maths is very different in the way the problems are being solved.. a maths require more thinking and manupilation... it is nt easy for me to master tat.. yes.. i can improve if i hav the time.. but nt much..
u all may say.. i jump frm E8 to C5 is 3 grades jump and its very gd.. but consider.. will i include this C5 in L1R5 or the B3 for chinese? tat means i lik waste my time on a maths to improve but in the end nt counted.. yah.. u can say i can improve my other sub like phy and chem tat i am weak in.. however, i believe i can do better for both of them and obtain at least a B3.. better still.. an A for both. firstly.. dun think i cant.. kc say i muz believe in myself to think tat i can achieve it (tat day when i told him i going malaysia study).. den another day.. he wans me to be realistic and think tat i cannot make it (tat day tat i insist tat i wan to retake).. wah lau.. contradiction? same as my parents.. haiz.. den say this and tat... kc den say tat if i think chinese is more imp den other subjects.. den go retake.. and of course i answer.. yah.. chinese is always my top piority subject.. den he giv me his shit face and say i muz change my mindset.. -.-" .. tat was wad i think... my opinion and how i rank chinese.. now u wan me change mindset to? forget abt chinese and concentrate on other sub? its like.. i love to drink milo and now becuz the milo will make my teeth abit yellow so i dun drink milo liao? this mindset is built into myself liao.. and i wont change my mindset juz becuz chi will affect my other sub.. i dunno how to exlpain it well.. but i find wad kc say is abit ridiculous..dun get offended.. but put urself in my position.. yah.. u can say tat "u are so stubborn and u dunno how to think.. " i rememeber u said tat... say i am stubborn in this way.. but i use all the concepts u all say! yah.. u can say i dunno how to apply them.. but this is the way i think...mayb i juz cant explain it clearly and i am nt persuasive or influential or effective or wad in wad i say...
like u expect urself to get very gd result for a certain subject since young.. mayb.. maths.. but den u gt a B3 instead of an A1.. u knew u could do it and u knew u nv did well is becuz... lets say u got stomachache in paper 2 and u din manage to finish it.. and lose quite alot marks.. u knew tat wif those marks.. u sure can score better.. will u wan to retake if u hav the chance? i dunno abt u.. mayb u see it another way or u will say this case and another is different.. dunno y.. ur views always change one lah.. for me i will retake.. dun waste this gd chance.. its like a chance for u to do better... u might say tat it will affect other sub.. i dun see how other sub can be affected in any way leh.. its quite normal like in most exams.. also like during midyear tat time.. i dunno lah.. but i juz think tat i can do it and i must do it.... my dream since i was in pri sch was to make sure i get gd grades for chinese and maths in big exams.. i know i nv did well in all our sch's exams and quite absurd/unbelievable tat now i expect an A.. mayb its quite impossible.. but it is my dream.. really.. it is my dream.. and i will achieve this dream.
