been so tired recently. its really weird. like, although the homework load isnt THAT much, the depth and contents really can have you wrecking your brains for hours. i rather face my o level tys and do it over and over than do one tutorial for biology. like, really. sigh, i guess we never are contented.
they say that the greedy man gets more. i must have not been greedy enough, so im not getting what i really want to get for some subjects:S JIAYOU!! though its a little hard... but im loving theory of knowledge more and more. it rocks!:D so interesting and challenging:) its my fav subject now, after history:)
there seems to be a little knowledge gap between sec 4 biology and jc bio. make that a huge one instead. o level's like totally irrelevant to the jc one. you learn how helicase uncoils the DNA, then topoisomerase enters to reduce the build up strain to prevent DNA from breaking, and how a single strand binding protein comes into prevent collaspe of the unravelled strands of DNA. Primase acts as a primer to allow DNA polymerase to bind before DNA polymerase III to add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction, from the 3' end. and that's just ONE drop of water in the HUGE ocean called BIOLOGY. in o levels? you learn MITOSIS. HAHAHA. it really amazes me how i could actually find mitosis difficult in sec 4 when it is now the least of my worries.
i actually have to start learning how to spell the proper names for all the enzymes and proteins and what not and the list goes on. and this is just for bio only. before this month, i didnt even know that ribosomes in prokaryotes is 80s, and made up of the small subunit (30s) and a big subunit (50s). what a life.
chemistry. THERE IS NO TRUE IONIC COMPOUND. WHOA. i tell you, i really feel cheated back in secondary school. if you think chem is hard in sec 3, then dont think about jc chem. its really a world apart. IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN. we dont even draw dot and cross diagrams anymore, only Lewis. draw bonds in 3D!!? omg. u need superb visualisation skills. it actually is like DnT back in sec 2. and im reminded of the awful truth- i failed my 3D drawings all the way until the final exams:S im now thankful that mr illango worked me so hard and forced me to learn how to draw and visualise properly.
well... HISTORY is the bestest subject ever. really. SO MUCH MORE FUN!:D although there are so many things to remember and analyse, its interesting, and you wont ever grow bored of it. although historiography is a little demanding... but well... part of the parcel >.< but i <3 history!
okays... i guess i have to stop ranting and get back to work. whole lot to be done, so little time!! AHH!
o. and im totally hooked on boys over flower. i watched 25 episodes of it in like, 5 days? and doing my english and tok essay, chem and bio IAs alongside it. YI JUNG AND GA EUL!:)
