P/S: Tengah busy study, tak de masa nak bunuh cicak-cicak yang semakin membiak kat sini. Muahhaha!! Segala kesulitan amat dikesali. Sekian Terima Kasih.

         In response to Lyn's entry on February 27 about the connection between age and memory, I took the effort of doing some research on memory improvement and effective study skills. Here are some tips and strategies I found from several websites:

• Many people mistakenly believe they have a poor memory, when in fact their inability to recall things is primarily a fault of not observing things properly in the first place, or making any effort to encode the material into their memories. (Arghh selamba cakap orang tak de effort! Dah tu apa yang aku belajar selama ni takde effort ke? Chet!)
  
  
• Strive for a deeper understanding. There is psychological evidence to suggest that the more you understand about your material, the more you will remember and retain it, regardless of what memorization technique you use, or how many times you repeat the material to yourself. (Hmm... no comment)
  
  
• Get a good night's rest! The latest neurological research indicates that people who get a good night's sleep after learning and practicing a new task remember more about it the next day than do people who pull an all-nighter trying to learn the same thing. Researchers speculate that sleep can "wash away" superfluous, undesirable memories, crystallizing the salient information you have previously learned. (One word: Muahahahaaaa.....)
  
  
• Rehearse what you have learned! In other words go over what you are trying to learn repeatedly -- the good old fashioned rote memorization technique still works! For best results, and distribute to your rehearsal sessions on successive days, rather than try to cram it all into one long marathon session. (Apa nak buat kalau dah banyak sangat chapter nak kene baca and hafal?)
  
  
• Make colorful visual associations. Evidence suggests that creating pictures in your mind that you can in some way associate to the words and phrases you are trying to remember will effectively create a second memory of the same thing, and maximize your chances of recalling the material at a later date. (Macam tak applicable je. Tak de benda untuk di visualize kan. Macam mana nak visualize network-network itu? Atau visualize camana data di transfer dari satu tempat ke satu tempat? Hish... tak masuk akal)
  
  
• Use mnemonic devices. Basically, mnemonics refer to any memorization technique that helps you make material more personally meaningful. (No comment. Tak reti buat)
  
  
• Interest - In order to remember something thoroughly, you must be interested in it. You must have a reason to learn it. (Waaahhh, saya suka CCNA! Dalam hati: Macam fake je!)
  
  
• Intent to Remember - It has much to do with whether you remember something or not. A key factor to remembering is having a positive attitude that you will remember. (Yakin boleh! Dalam hati: Lagi sekali fake nak mampos!)
  
  
• Basic Background - Your understanding of new materials depends to a great degree on how much you already know about the subject. The more you increase your basic knowledge, the easier it is to build new knowledge on this background. (Ulang suara.... Muahhahahaha...)
  
  
• Selectivity - You must determine what is most important and select those parts to study and learn. (Juga tak applicable. CCNA exam akan tanye semuaaaaaaa benda!)
  
  
• Mental Visualization - Another powerful memory principle is making a mental picture of what needs to be remembered. By visualizing, you use an entirely different part of the brain than you did by reading or listening. (Arghhh... tidak mampuuuu)

         I 've been thinking a lot lately about taking chances
         And how it really is about overcoming your fears
         Because the truth is
         Everytime you take a big risk in your life
         No matter how it would end up
         You always glad you took it.
                                                    
         Well, at least I know I am!
         And because of that, my life has turned around
         For good ... finally.


P/S: Pengajaran untuk hari ini: 6 - 5 = 1! Arghhh sangat bodoh!

         Access list  is essentially a list of conditions that categorize packets. They can be really helpful when you need to exercise control over network traffic. There are two main types of access list .... *boring boring boring* Standard IP access lists filter network traffic .... *yada yada yada* You create a standard IP access list by using the access-list numbers 1-99 or 1300-1999, you're telling the router that .... *crap crap crap*

         ARGHHH!!!! Someone please tell me how to memorize all these stuff. 11 chapters, 536 pages, tons of information to remember, and yet so little time! Kenapa la sekarang ni susah sangat nak menghafal. Kalau masa SPM dulu, kasi je la apa... Chemistry? Physics? Tak de hal. Bukan nak riak la kan. But dulu masa zaman sekolah senang gila nak retain information dalam otak. But now? Maybe dah tua kot? Or banyak dosa? Muahhaha.... Arghh sangat tension. Kalau exam ni tak kena bayar tak pe gak. Nih... sekali amik kena $125! Gile buat duit lah Cisco nih. And if I do not pass this paper ... Maksudnya tak grad lah nampak nye. Hish... mulut jangan celupar Rozanna! Have faith in yourself. Bak kata slogan Nike, You Can Do It. Muahhaha... Sorry la. Emosi tak stabil di kala pagi buta ini...

         Di petik daripada iklan Staples kat TV: "Wouldn't it be nice if there was an 'Easy' button for life?" Certainly it is! Tak ke best tuh? Kalau camtu sume orang pun berjaya lah nampaknye. Sume orang pun jadi pemalas la kan? Sebab sume benda pun tak yah berusaha, jadi senang gak. Hahahaa.... Pasal tu la benda macam tu tak wujud kan? (Adoi apa aku merepek nih?). 

         Hari ni dalam utusan ada cerita pasal kes bunuh lagi. Apa nak jadi ngan orang kat Malaysia sekarang nih? Start daripada kes ragut, lepas tu bunuh plak? Hish... sungguh tak percaya. Rasa macam dah tak selamat je nak kuar. Ingat lagi cuti masa summer hari tu. Paranoid gile kalau nak kuar. Especially masa tengah jalan sorang-sorang masa nak pergi kat kereta kat car park shopping complex. Berlari tuuu nak pergi kat kereta! Hihii.. takut siot. Bak kata Din Beramboi, "Mengapa orang bunuh orang, sungguh jahat orang itu". Haha.

Tiba-tiba mood bertukar menjadi:

         Ok la. Dah lambat nih. Need to get some rest. Feeling a little bit under the weather today. Tapi still, tiba-tiba rasa happy giler walaupun tengah stress and tak sihat. Kenapa? Haa... itu rahsia la. Terima kasih kepada Pakcik p4. Hehehee ....

         Selamat malam. Eh, selamat pagi!
