take me down.

Exam time. Stress.

I'd like to think that I'm a person who deals with stress quite well and doesn't like freak out or anything.

However, I've realised that I do stress out. And it definitely does affect me. Mainly, it affects my appetite.

I remember leaving high school being slightly on the chubbier side. Not saying I was fat or anything, but considering my severe lack of height, I didn't look as skinny as I would have liked (typical girl who is never happy with her weight). So there I was, leaving high school at 51kg. Fine, that's not that heavy. But if you see me enough you'd realise that the first place that fattens up whenever I put on weight is my face. MY FACE IS A MOON. While it is the first place the weight goes, it is also the last place it leaves. Hence my face is always round.

Throughout the Alevel period, without even me noticing it, I lost quite a bit of weight. By quite a bit I mean that I was down to 45kg with no dieting or starving myself. It's just that my appetite decreased.

And today, I haven't felt hungry at all. I've consumed a total of four dark chocolate digestive biscuits, one stringcheese thing, one bowl of soup and now two "laiwong pao"s.

Sometimes I feel that I eat more out of habit rather than actually being hungry.

retreat.

You know why those who go overseas at an earlier age usually do better in their studies?

No, it's not because they've learned to mature and take responsibility. It's mainly cause their parents aren't there.

How is that possible you ask? After all, most need parents to give them the push to actually study.

Read on and you'll understand.

How many of you have been forced to go out with your family before an exam. Despite you telling your parents that you want to stay at home to study, they tell you that you should take a break cause studying all the time isn't good. For most of us I'd believe, we get these moods where we're really gung ho about studying and parents interrupting is the one thing that can cause you to lose the studying drive.

On the other hand, you're done with studying and want to go out and have a nice dinner with your friends. What do your parents say about this? "Don't waste time, you should be studying". The irony is that if you hadn't gone out with your friends, your parents would have made you go out for dinner with the family. So ultimately your time is spent on something you didn't really want to just because your parents think that friends are not as important as family.


Just my opinion.

you got me.

GUESS WHAT????

Friday the 13th is over. Which also means that 13 November 2009 is long gone.

Which ultimately means that AS finals are OVERRRRRRR
(for the Arts people anyways. sorry Science people.)








After getting a present for Lisa, Pam, Marcia and I went over to Lisa's. Where I swear, I haven't laughed so much for such a long time. While I'd only just met many of them at the party, it was fun =D.







Back to daily blogging now =).

surrounded by darkness.

Only one more day to go!!

And I'm done with the scary papers i.e Lit & Maths.


Ending this post with some quotes. Enjoy =D.

I'm an angel! Honestly! The horns are just there to keep the halo up straight.

Everyone keeps telling me the right guy will come around, but I think mine got hit by a bus.

My mother told me not to talk to strangers. I don't talk to myself anymore.

The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

When I'm right, no one remembers. When I'm wrong, no one forgets.

We never grow up. We just learn how to act in public.

And my favourite of the lot...

Reality has exiled me.I am no longer bound by it's laws.

signaling function.

The air was ice cold. The strange absence of sound in a place that is usually filled with everyday business. Suddenly everything was further away. Someone had moved their positions, and it only served to send fear into everyone's soul. Those who were prepared were seen to be quick and precise in their movements. But for those unfortunate ones who did not see the importance of preparation could only scratch their heads and wring their brains in vain.

You had no one but yourself to get you through this ordeal. It was a do or die situation.

As the final minutes drew nearer, everyone could feel the tension that was so thick you couldn't even slice through it. And finally, those long awaited words were uttered.





"Okay everyone, please stop writing while the teachers collect you answer booklets."




Day 1 down.

i'm not that girl.

Today was officially the last day that I'll ever have to remember Malaysian history ever again.

LAN test went okay.

But to let you know something funny.

You know how LAN is taught in English? There's also a BM part for the exam paper.
And I tell you, I think a lot of people flipped to the BM part when they couldn't undertsand the English part seeing as we learned sejarah in BM thus everything is programmed into us in that language.

After college went to KL PAC to watch Prom the Musical.

How it compared to when it first performed at KDU?

Well, I can safely say that the storyline and dances are better.

Singing only on some parts.

Overall it was not bad. The script inproved a lot but there are still many areas in which it could have been better.

corleone.

There are not enough hours in a day.

This month is going to be such an eventful month.

SPM results on Thursday.

Theory exam on Monday.

Driving exam the next Monday.

So scared. So very very very scared.

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

fool of me.

I think I've bitten off a little than I can chew for this year.

4 Exams. (Ballet, Piano, Violin and Theory). Of which 2 are like the FINAL grades.

A-Levels. Totally the determining point of life. Cause I wanna get into a good uni.

MYF!! Making it a point to go EVERY week.

And I wanna join the Ed Board.

I was going to blog a little more. But I wanna finish my poem analysis and some theory.

So that's all for now.

loose ends.

Another exam to add on to the list of exams I'm taking next year.

Grade 8 ballet.

Usually people would have more time after SPM ends but I find that I have less time.

Sigh.

Anyway, to occupy my time I've been organising my album covers in iTunes.

So that means for all my songs I label it correctly and find the right cover to use. It's quite tiresome but I don't really like seeing empty covers on my iPod.

So yeah, I'm up to the letter 'K'. On artists.

Halfway done!!

romeo take me.

It feels strange to know that after today I'll never have to know

what oxidation and reduction are
what disulphermonochloride in methy benzene solution is for
what the thyroid gland does
what FSH, oestrogen, LH and progestron are
what the hell Boyle's Law, Charles' Law and Pressure Law are
what is the difference for resistance of LDR in bright and dark conditions


That's the end of the need for science knowledge.
2 years worth of studying for one exam and it finished so fast.

Whole different ball game next year.


Only Literature and EST left!!!!

for the taking.

Last week of secondary school life. After this is two weeks of study leave before the day comes.

November 11. The start.

November 27. The end.

It also means all the trials results are coming back this week. No, I don't ecpect much from the results considering I didn't study. Didn't work even 1/10 of how much some people in my class have worked.

Surprised to hear that I don't study? If you are, then you obviously don't know me that well. Those who do would realize that I'm not bothered by this exam stress thing that seems to affect everyone so badly. Let's just say this 'attitude' of mine started a long long time ago.

You see, one faithful day sometime when I was in primary 3, I realized that why should I bother so much trying to do well when even if I get 90 I get yelled at. 100 is always the goal. Fail to meet the goal and well, you don't really want to know. So I decided that I might as well get the same scolding/punishment while enjoying myself before exams instead of slaving away for good marks when only perfection is suffice.

So yeah, I guess this has carried on till today. But I do intend to work hard for SPM itself. After all, I did work hard for PMR. Major exams are still worth the effort. Minor exams? Not so important. Do not intend to stress and lose sleep over these things. My brain cells do not want to die early and sleeping too little will shorten your lifespan.

just anti everything.

Wanna know something I've just found out!?

That Draco Malfoy did NOT marry Pansy Parkinson as I thought.

Instead, J.K Rowling made up this completely new character who I've not read of in the 7 FREAKING books!!

Weng Yan came and asked me whether there was an Astoria Greengrass mentioned in the books because on her RP site Astoria is listed as a canon(meaning not made up but straight from the author) character who was married to Draco Malfoy.

I'm not an crazy HP fan but I have read the books a couple of times and never come across this name. But Google has proved me wrong. Apparently J.K Rowling said she didn't want Draco to marry Pansy so she made up a completely UNHEARD of character to be his wife.











Haha. This is such an out of topic post considering I have Add. Maths and Chem tomorrow but here I am blogging about Harry Potter.

just a little bit.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!

Okay, not officially. But I only have EST 1 tomorrow so it's not a big deal.

And you know, the number of people who got picked for National Service(NS) is by far the largest I've ever heard of in our school. In my class alone, 14 people got picked. That's more than half cause 2 people in my class are underage so there were 25 people who could have got picked.

So far, I know about 20+ people who've gotten picked for NS. But according the Janice, the name list that's out is for all the batches. Not only first batch.

You know, I wouldn't really mind going for NS cause it sounds like quite an interesting experience. But it'll totally interrupt my study plans and my thinks I'm going to die if I go there(not surprising considering all the horror stories that are reported). She said that if I got chosen, she'lll ship me off overseas immediatly after SPM.

And if you find yourself having lots of time on your hands and have nothing to do. You should watch 'Xia Xue's Guide to Life', 'Chick vs. Dick' and 'Crack Comedy'. It's SUPER funny. Just go to youtube and search. Xiaxue(Singapore celebrity blogger) is way funny. The things she says is quite stupid at times and her opinion is very different. Chick vs. Dick is where Paul and Kaykay(all XX's friends) have a sort of battle of the sexes. They are very amusing to watch. Crack comedy is quite funny too.


Latest 'Crack Comedy'. I think the guy is very gay.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

I can hear heaven.

Woohoo!!!!!!

Gues what??

I DIDN'T get picked for NS.

I swear, I've never been happier to see the words 'Harap Maaf' in my life. Thank you God.

For those who wanna check, SMS

NS(space)ICNo. to 33995

to double check, SMS

PLKN(space)SEMAK(space)IC NO. to 15888

Another thing, we've reached our goal for 30-Hour Famine. RM30k people!! With 10 more cards to collect and the committee's cards.

One more day to go. Biology. So much memory work.....

Monday, August 11, 2008

and now I wonder.

SPM 2008 timetable is out already!!!

My subjects are quite spread out over 3 weeks. Last paper is EST on November 27.

AND!!!!

NS namelist is out. Not the official one apparently. And I can't get into the website cause I'm sure the rest of Malaysia is trying to get into the same website. Please please please please please don't let my name be on it.

The official list be out on Thursday in the papers.
So Form 5's, you'd better hope you don't get picked.

30 Hour Famine. We're only RM700 short of our goal which is RM30k. And we still have 15 cards left to collect. Everything seems to be going well so far. But once trials are over it's full focus on famine planning.

*Those attending the famine please stay back on wednesday till 4.30p.m. for a briefing. Important documents will be given out so if you can't make it please inform any one of the committee members(Puiyi, Melissa, Trixie, Nat & I).

08.08.08

The first week of trials are over but this week was the easier week.

I'm totally not prepared to sit for my Add. Maths, Chem, Bio and Moral paper.

As for the 30 Hour Famine, we still have 31 cards to collect. A majority of it being teachers or the form 5's.

We have however, raised a little over RM25k so far which is quite good.

I was at Kayu yesterday with my mum and sisters and I made this observation. You see, we always sit at the same table which is near the payment counter and also the sink. And I realized that almost all the guys who wash their hands, spend like an entire minute looking at themselves in the mirror and doing their hair. The girls on the other hand, just wash their hands and walk away.

And you said girls were vain.

I guess it's just the modern times where guys care more about how they look than girls do. I mean, there's nothing wrong with wanting to look good but I swear guys these days take longer than girls to get ready.
