The only time when I won't sleep for the night is when...

... I gonna sit for my paper in only few hours time. Not much about anxious, but lots about how little sleep I get and how tired my eyes are. So much to see, read and find out.. so little time to do it. And worse of all, I haven't even take the initiative to find out how to get to my examination venue. Apparently I thought my examination should be at where I go and attend classes.. Wrong assumption. Checking from my resources, I gotta go RELC Building to take my paper. RELC Building.. duh.. never heard before. As a well-known directionless and knows nothing about road-location fool, I don't know lah..

Spent 30minutes doing route planning and time allocations, I planned to leave home at 11am when my paper is at 2pm.. too important to miss. Got back to my study after that. You know how do I study for exams when I gotta make myself stay up for productive hours? LOL (Laugh Out Loud), let me share with you one of my last year adopted effective trick, Time Ratio Management. For me I like to look at hour slots of 6hours, you could try 12hours though, but always remember the longer a time slot is, the easier you feel demotivated. Meaning how much hour do I think I can study non-stop in 6hours? For a more relaxed pace, I would think 1:1 is good, and in 6hours would means study for 3hours and rest for 3hours.. And that made up one time slot.

For me, a more intensive plan would be 1:5 (studying for 5hours and rest for 1hour). Of course, I didn't see a need to do that for this paper.. I choose 1:2 (default ratio). And so, accordingly, I spent 4hours studying and 2hours resting. So, you learned something new about keeping yourself awake for mugging culture >_= But try not to do it for too many days, apparently human motivation have higher upkeep as this method is used for too long a time. Any backfire email me, so that I'll avoid it happening. But until now that I used it for a year plus and nothing unexpected happened to me yet.

And for this time, my mind ain't as calm as my previous years of mugging experience. I guess the X in the Universe is trying to create interesting things in my boring situation of mugging. Both suspicious and sweet, this un-calmness is like fire or even double-edged sword. If things are not under proper control, may get out of hand.. And a bit restless after hours of studying even though the memorization flow is not very effective. And one thing very sad about me mugging, is that I cannot listen to song or music. Somehow it helps my mind to relieve tension and relax mind processing information at the same time and cause information leak thereafter.

Really looking forward for the paper and the gathering after that. And not to mention: the nice, warm and cosy bed I get to sleep after hours of intensive study and sleepless night. Gotta mug for now, cheer me on... hugs and kisses.
