HOW I SURVIVED PSLE (PART 2)

Well, Miss Marina said that you would like to know about de-stressing.

Though I didn't get a response or a reply from any of you, I thought I would just share some methods. But these methods are quite ordinary, all of you can think of it, so, well...


How can you de-stress?

Everyone feels stressful when exams are near.

So you can console yourself by knowing – You’re not the only one freaked out.

For me, I was still very happy-go-lucky. I only felt stressed on the day of the exam itself, so I didn’t really use any methods to de-stress.

But now in Nanyang, I have to start revising earlier by around two weeks. Sometimes it’s really frustrating when you can’t memorise the names of some famous people like Chandragupta Maurya (quite a mouthful right?) or geography stuff.

Here are some ways on how you can relieve stress, most of which you should already know.

Group

1. Outing! – You can have an outing with your friends, i.e. watch movie, shop, etc.

2. Arcade! – I highly recommend those games where you use the mallet and whack those stuff which pop out of the holes. It’s good for venting of frustration and de-stressing. If you’re not the “violent” type, try the 3D stimulator at Time Zone (I know there’s one at Causeway Point). It’s this bumper-car/cabin thing where you sit with one other person. You select a film and the thing would move (or rather, jerk) sideways, up and down along with the film. It’s really, really fun. Your three seniors all tried before. A must-try!

3. PARTY! – Whether it’s for a birthday party or a class party, a party will definitely heighten up the atmosphere! Oh yeah. Don’t forget to invite us (not to those full of juniors whom we don’t know though). Just say free food, music, fun and games and we’ll be there! (Just joking).

Individual

1. Watch TV! – You should watch those entertainment programmes like 100% entertainment (5pm, weekdays, Channel 8) or Just for Laughs Gags.

2. Phone-call! – Call your friend and chat! Gossip, latest idol news, whatever you can talk about! I did that with my friend the last two-three weeks of holidays.

3. Internet! – Turn on your computer and go facebook, play games? Or come to this blog and POST and TAG please. By the way, I highly recommend going to Youtube and watch this simply fabulously awesome Taiwanese drama show “K.O.3anguo”! It’s so freaking nice! Or watch Ep16 part 6/7, fast-forward about 5 minutes or so (to the scene in this restaurant or something), guaranteed one huge laughing session.

Or simple, just go to sleep. Seriously.

If you really feel really stressed but have no one to pour your misery to, post on this blog. Hopefully, if we’re free enough, we would reply you too!

Oh yeah. I have a really funny and innovative senior who posted this on their batch blog. It’s super hilarious, also about de-stressing. (http://ooh-gah-sha-gah.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html)

Don’t worry, it’s not some lame virus or something.

Ok, I know you are very busy and stuff, not very IT-savvy, so you won't be online frequently or something, but on the rare occasions that you do, please try and post or just leave a tag on this blog! You have 47 posts in this blog already but those are either written by Miss Marina or us seniors!

The thing is that, this is YOUR blog, and it is therefore YOUR responsibility to keep it going. And just tagging on the blog, it's not that hard right? Ok, I shouldn't be too hard on you, I know P6 and PSLE are stressing you out, so I won't blame you or anything.

Here's a song! I changed the lyrics.

没有如果 （梁静茹）

如果我说 考试没有如果
失败就败 你是不是会用功
若“懒惰”拿来当借口
那是不是有一点弱

如果我说 考试没有如果
想要考好 就用功读书
还怨什么 还玩什么
快拿起书来读


TINGTING(:
