Did you know - Smoking

-Smoking improves human information processing?
-Higher nicotine cigarettes produce greater improvements [in information processing] than low-nicotine cigarettes?
-Nicotine can reverse the detrimental effects of scopolamine on performance?
-Smoking effects are accompanied by increases in EEG arousal and decreases in the latency of the late positive component of the evoked potential?
-Smoking improves motor performance?
-Smokers in general are thinner than nonsmokers, even when they ingest more calories?
-Smokers have less plaque, gingival inflammation and tooth mobility than nonsmokers?
-Smokers have lower incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis than nonsmokers?
-Hypertension (high blood pressure) is less common among smokers?

Im finally out of~~

I'm almost finally finally out of words~!~!~!
hahah! Tomorrow last paper! Even though nothing much can be studied for it, I can't help but to feel rather unprepared for it. I didn't do well at all in my physics and chemistry paper 4, so this chemistry paper 5 is obviously hyperly important if I were to hope for A. Haih. Physics ah! I dunno if can still get A or not. I really hope I can. Haih. But then again, it's my own fault for not preparing earlier. I think I have to change my lifestyle once I enter university. Gonna force myself to study at least 1-2 hours a day so that I can understand and remember my basics.

On the other note, holiday coming lu! Still wondering if I am capable enough for Mechanical Engineering? I mean, I can't even handle Pre-U level Further Maths, how can I handle the extreme maths of a Mechanical Engineer? But, seeing that I have no talents whatsoever, I'm gonna venture into engineering anyway and hope for the best. Monash University mou??? XD! OOO! They have the new July intake, which is like great for me cuz its so conveniently timed for me! I hope they won't ask for my forecast results though cuz it stinks XD!

Whee

Finally the 2 hardest paper is over! I'm in love once again with Teh O Limau Ais! XD
