Whoaaa! u people sound really stressed out! I mean REALLY stressed.
And joshua posted an article on stress too! LOL!!!
Ok people, remember "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going."
Take some time to rest in between ur revision, homework an CCAs etc.
U need to MAKE time to rest. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
So rest when u need it. Otherwise u can't function properly.
Ok for me, in this new school, i am coping well. Students are ok. But not as good as
you all lah....ehheehee...so hardworking. Over here, for the classes i have, they need a little pushing. But things are fine. They are respectful pupils.
Ok i will blog again soon. Need to go for class now. Bye!

Managing Stress
A passage to manage stress...Hope it helps some how..
1. Make stress your friend
Acknowledge that stress is good and make stress your friend! Based on the body’s natural “fight or flight” response, that burst of energy will enhance your performance at the right moment. I’ve yet to see a top sportsman totally relaxed before a big competition. Use stress wisely to push yourself that little bit harder when it counts most.
2. Stress is contagious
Stressed people sneeze stress germs indiscriminately and before you know it, you are infected with stress germs too!
Protect yourself from stress germs by recognising stress in others and limiting your contact with them. Or if you’ve got the inclination, play stress doctor and teach them how to better manage their stress.
3. Copy good stress managers
When people around are losing their head, which keeps calm? What are they doing differently? What is their attitude? What language do they use? Are they trained and experienced?
Figure it out from afar or sit them down for a chat. Learn from the best stress managers and copy what they do.
4. Use heavy breathing.
You can trick your body into relaxing by using heavy breathing. Breathe in slowly for a count of 7 then breathe out for a count of 11. Repeat the 7-11 breathing until your heart rate slows down, your sweaty palms dry off and things start to feel more normal.
5. Stop stress thought trains
It is possible to tangle yourself up in a stress knot all by yourself. “If this happens, then that might happen and then we’re all up the creek!” Most of these things never happen, so why waste all that energy worrying needlessly?
Give stress thought-trains the red light and stop them in their tracks. Okay so it might go wrong – how likely is that, and what can you do to prevent it?
6. Know your stress hot spots and trigger points
Presentations, interviews, meetings, giving difficult feedback, tight deadlines……. My heart rate is cranking up just writing these down!
Make your own list of stress trigger points or hot spots. Be specific. Is it only presentations to a certain audience that get you worked up? Does one project cause more stress than another? Did you drink too much coffee?
Knowing what causes you stress is powerful information, as you can take action to make it less stressful. Do you need to learn some new skills? Do you need extra resources? Do you need to switch to de-caffeinated coffee?
7. Eat, drink, sleep and be merry!
Lack of sleep, poor diet and no exercise wreaks havoc on our body and mind. Kind of obvious, but worth mentioning as it’s often ignored as a stress management technique. Listen to your mother and don’t burn the candle at both ends!
And those are the 7 successful stress management techniques! Take time to learn them, use them and teach them, and be a great stress manager.

Xinhui's long long words
haha as you can read... [Xinhui's long long words] =xx
Well, as what Pling and Apple say, we are stress..but seriously, what can we do about it? Okay, i admit.. that for me, being stress is what i deserve... why? because i have the time, but i dun want to do the work. But otherwise, seriously, our class is stress... even other class student was saying. "Lucky i was not in 3E5." i was like.."yah lucky you not inside this class.How i wish i was not in this class too"
HOWEVER, there are times that i felt that i'm glad that i'm in this class.. =)
be glad that at least we still have some very nice teacher.. like ms straaten, mr nazri and others you feel that are good teachers.... but those two are what the whole class agree bah.. X)
okay... because i need to go soon.. let's try to continue my long long words next time okay? ^^
Xinhui~ ^_^V

Random.
This the first time I'm posting(:
After what happened today, I felt that WE are feeling very stressed. But at least to me, I'm feeling stress by the homework, tests and of course the standard teachers wanted us to achieve.
People break down often and get irritated easily. And seriously I don' know how to solve this kind of problems. Less play times? Concentrate more? Do more practices? I don't know.
I think of what Aipoh say to me or some of us today. Our results different a lot. If one of our classmate's the marks is very high, most of the time sure got one get very low. The marks difference is quite big.
Hmmm. I don't know what to type. The end):
