we had a huge rollicking from dailaoshi today. i could tell that she was really furious at our attitude towards doing the mock papers (the hard st nicks one). she said many of us were either uninterested or not focused enough, that was why many of us failed our overall, esp compo. damn sad. dailaoshi had put in so much effort and all we did was to dismiss her actions and do what we wanted. i admit that i wasted my time plus inspiration talking to the people around me during the mock, esp to sarah who was asking alot of questions. yeah and i got 18/50 for compo. overall only B4. but after the scoldings today, i discovered that her words did made a deep impact on us. the classroom was, how to say, totally ya que wu sheng. even sarah (oh my goodness!) merely asked a couple of questions and that was almost it. the important word of the day: focus. *oh and of course, the attitude*

"The power of focusing can be seen in light. Diffused light has little power or impact, but you can concentrate its energy by focusing it. With a magnifying glass, the rays of the sun can be focused to set grass or paper on fire. When light is focused even more as a laser beam, it can cut through steel."
- The Purpose Driven Life

true indeed. therefore, my formula of the day -> dailaoshi's words + purpose driven life = a more focused me. hmmm. and what was that cheng yu again? ahh. it's xin wu pang wu (although i always have to remind myself that below's a ma and not a niao). ah yes, and dailaoshi was kind enough to make us vanilla-coke-flavoured jelly. CRY MY EYES OUT!



there she goes
