[Volume 7 Issue 9, #1548]

今日同大家講一個頗普遍嘅成語, 「平時不燒香, 臨急抱佛腳」, 相信大家都應該知道其含義.. 講到讀書考試, 呢句話用喺我身上就最適合不過.. 雖然我未至於係唔俾心機讀書嘅人, 但係我平時係甚少溫習功課, 每次都等到第二日考試, 我前一晚先開夜車啃晒啲書去嘅, 呵呵.. 其實都唔係唔work, 只不過我係屬於短暫記憶型, 如果太早就讀定, 到時我會唔記得囉, 所以前一晚先被熟啲功課, 會對我有利啲.. 每次見到同學仔兩三個星期前就已經為考試而準備, 我覺得好奇妙囉, 真係得㗎?? 可能人哋溫完一次又一次啦, 難怪人哋可以拎前三名.. 不過我都唔差㗎其實, 唔會差過前十名嘅, 老實講, 我覺得自己都幾係讀書材料嘅, 哈哈!! :D

discussing with everyone relating a chinese proverb today, "not praying in normal days, hug the buddha's leg at the last minute", that's the literal translation and it refers to one who doesn't do any preparation but always prays for miracle to happen at the last minute.. when it comes to studies and exams, i guess this best describes me.. not that i'm not serious about my studies, but i rarely do revision on normal days, i used to only start to study for the exams the night before, haha.. whether it works or not, to a short-term memory type of person like me, i think if i studied to early i may have forgotten later, hence doing revision a night before is just right.. i see other classmates started to prepare for exams two to three weeks earlier, i think that's rather impressive, could that work better?? maybe they have rounds after rounds of revisions, no wonder they could squeezed into the top three.. i wasn't bad at all, at least i was always within top ten.. frankly, i kind of think myself a good piece of material for studies actually, haha!!
