Keeping a Weekly Blog Helps Me Improve Myself

!nuf si golb.

Welcome back to another blog post my friends. The god have spoken and we don't get a free topic this week. So today, we're going to talk about how keeping a weekly blog helps me improve myself.

"Oh look, something positive for once."

Yes, yes very funny. Well lets jump into it, shall we?

For most people, me included, we can all agree that we don't actually do the blogs "weekly". Perhaps the lack of time or just the simple procrastination made us that way, but I'm sure that we all don't really do blogs on time. I myself started doing blogs on time after the exams simply because I was focusing on studying. 

The blogs themselves are fun to do. They allow us to explore more topics, be it by reading another person's blog, or maybe looking up some information just to write your own. It helps you practice writing, preparing yourself for the English exams coming in the future so you don't get stuck looking on a blank page wondering how to start or finish a sentence. As they always say, practice makes perfect. 

Sure, most of you may think that this is a waste of time, maintaining and writing blogs, but perhaps, that mindset of yours is wrong. Some people find that writing blogs is fun, since it gives them the chance to introduce or share something they particularly enjoy, for example, I introduce you guys to certain not so well known history topics, and some ideas of social studies that was quite unheard of unless you stumble into it while browsing the interwebs in the late of night.

To some others, provided that we're given the chance for a free topic, it gives them a chance to write stories, be it fiction or non-fiction. It gives them a chance to flex their creative muscles (as stated in the last topic), and it gives the reader thought provoking questions. Most of my blogs are structured that way (if its a free topic), since there's no absolute right or wrong.

That's all for this week folks, perhaps we'll get a free topic next week and I'll write longer posts (lol). This is my opinion on why keeping a weekly blog helps me improve myself. 

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Cheers,
Chua.

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

What I Learned About How My Effort Will Contribute To My Exam Marks

Well. after getting my terrible exam results, I decided to break down what went wrong in my preparations for the exams. To get down to the root of the problem, it's studying and the time spent doing it. I either do it too much, or too less. I need to organize my time even better than before, so I don't constantly burn the midnight oil, or sit around doing nothing. The worst result I got was Additional Maths. The only way I could get better in this was to do more practice. Time to start hitting more books then ! I need to put in more effort on my studies to get at least decent results for my mid-term, which is usually going to be even harder. Let's hope I actually stick to the plan this time. Cheers, Chua.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...
