Time for Time Management
FYI, I had used up to 2 hours to draft out each of my past entries, one and a half to pen it down on paper and one half to type it out. This is too time-consuming and definitely not very feasible. (perhaps I can only blame my tardiness for this) Chop chop, time to manage time. From this entry onwards, I'm limiting myself to half an hour's writing. It'll be something like TOEFL writing test, in which candidates have to produce an essay based on a compulsory topic given in half hour's time. So basically it's 'type in what you have in your mind non-stop or else hand in an empty paper' situation. And to think my class have to do at least 1 practice every week. Cool.
Last Friday had second round of SAT prep test. Same frigid atmosphere in the hall, same table and chair, same restiveness ('why we are the only program that has to stay back until 6pm every Friday?'). The difference? This time it's tougher. More mind-boggling questions keep looming from pages to pages. I count myself lucky I was able to maintain my score. Hooi Ju managed an impressing 200 points boost compare to last prep test. Kavind gained some improvements too. Reason? He wasted a lot of time visiting the restroom 3 times during the previous test to, erm, revive his troubling gastronomical tract.
What?! half an hour already? and this is all i can manage to write.. alamak!!

Blogging will be a great practice; it trains your thoughts and sharpens your writing skills. Don't waste too much time thinking of what to write; go with the flow and be spontaneous.

Blogging is a bit like sleep. You keep thinking about it, you won't get to sleep; you relax and don't think about it, sleep comes.
