Christmas

Merry christmas to everyone. enjoy the holidays. and BE HAPPY!!

Welcome Backs

i am so amazed and amused because my sister, who's in Qatar, and my friend, who's in Malaysia are coming here.

my sister will arrive on Saturday, December 13.

my friend will arrive on Tuesday, December 16.

i hope i'll be able to spend time with them.

Success

i was able to answer a math porblem a while ago. it's somehow a big deal(for me) since i have no idea what my teacher was talking about(i really can't understand our lesson now). i think it's pure luck. it's not even a test, but i'm still happy i got the correct answer.

i hope i will also be able to answer the problems on our long test next week.

Math Problems

this is not just about finding x, or looking for the derivatives of some functions.

i got a low score in our long test. i passed, but i got a low score.

and i am now really confused with our math lessons. i really can't understand the lessons.

and i know i have to step it up if i still want to be in "the game". but it's just hard.
