Hi guys! I'm blogging again! Recently, I've been thinking of retaking my A levels after being rejected by NTU. I've been thinking... my S- grade for H2 Math could really affect my chances of getting accepted for most of the courses in Uni lols. Thus, seeing as I have the time now, I might as well retake my H2 Maths. Hopefully, with more time to practice and re- learn all the stuff, I'll be able to do better, at least manage a good passing grade I hope.
Well, here comes the problem. Should I be retaking my A levels, I'd be taking it as a private candidate. I've heard that I'd need to retake all three of my H2 subjects and my H1 GP papers should I just wanna retake my H2 Maths!! So that's lots of studying to do yahh! And lot's of practicing and learning and re- learning for me. Hahas, as such, tuition is definitely on the list for some of the subjects like GP and Economics! I'd also enlist help for Maths but that's from another source hahas!
Well another reason for the sudden decision is that I'm starting to feel really wasted and slack after not having done any studies for so very very long. I'm also feeling really sianz most of the time as there's so much of my time just being wasted away... JUST LIKE THAT!
Thus, on the one hand, I wanna get back to studying so that I once again get back that sense of purpose and the wonderful feeling that I'm doing something. Also, I'm really worried that I'll lose all the knowledge that I've learnt from my JC years lol.
On the other hand, going back to studying will give me stuff to do while I'm wasting away doing practically nothing. Then, hopefully I wun feel so sianz and can get back the life that I used to have completing assignments and worksheets hahas! I've been wanting to do writing for quite some time already. I'm also losing all the Chemistry and Economics that I used to know at my fingertips... they're slipping away!
Hahas I'm really missing studying lol!
Reviving the joy of studying... something most people can't relate to! Hhahas...

Ant behaviour
Haha... thought I'd talk a little bout something other than my life for a change. Antz behaviour haha! I've been observing ants crawling ard during duties these last couple of days or weeks just to pass the time as I get really bored sometimes. And I have noticed certain interesting things about the way they function and behave. Well, it was more of me doing some small experiments to see how the ants would respond to the changes rather.
Firstly, I wanted to confirm once again what would happen when the ants' trail was blocked. I had a hypothesis for this though; the ants would stop in their tracks and be confused. Thing is, they would just not continue going forward. However, when I placed my finger on an empty spot of their trail, and rubbed out that part of the trail there, what I saw astonished me. Yes, the ants did stop but they didn't just stand there. Some of them actually continued moving along the part of the trail that was still there... hahas backwards that is! It was really interesting.
On another occasion, I was observing ants which had formed a trail leading to an empty canned drink. I wondered if those little creatures were smart enough to alter their course due to the change in position of their "source of food" and so moved the empty can to another location far out of reach. Haha... I observed that the ants continued along their trail and ended up pooling ard at the spot where their "source of food" had been. Lol... so it was just a big group of ants pooling there, clueless I expect.
When I went back to the can, I noticed that a new trail of ants had already formed there. Wow... it was really very fast lol!
There was another occasion though when I noticed the trails of two lines of ants criss-crossing each other. However, the two separate groups of ants never once got mixed up. Wow... it was really interesting to notice that lol..
I guess the ants were following trails with different scents uh... hahas ain't these interesting?
