SPM results

What can I say..

Like a friend says, 'Its complicated'. At first, I was really nervous cuz they had passed the 10 straight A's thing and my name was still not called. Then when they finally called my name, I thought I got 8A's or something.. But when I found out I got 10 A's overall and actually managed to get an A for Add Maths I was really happy. Then I saw that the reason i wasn't called out earlier was because I got a B+ for EST.. I was......... shocked. That was one subject I didn't expect to get a B for and I regret taking it, in a way. Not that the classes were not fun, but this one B ruined my straight A record. But my mum, unexpectedly, was very very happy anyways. She couldn't believe that I managed to score an A for Add Math and Physics, apparently, and the fact that i did made her quite proud. Daddy too.

So I guess I was kinda sad about not getting straight A's... But since Mummy and Daddy were soooo happy I was kinda happy too.And since technically, I managed to get quite good results for my Sciences and Maths and a few languages, I had no complaints. Went out for lunch with Grandma, aunt and cousins.

Then today, came to college. Now I feel so useless. So many of them managed to get straight A+ (Carmen Chuah, the girl who was reported in the Sun papers for 12 A+ is studying here) and the gang I usually hang out with in college all got Straight A+. I feel sooooooooooo........... Dumb. And quite a number of them got like, 9A+ and some As, blablabla. Most got straight A's. And the fact that I cannot tell them I got straight A's makes me feel depressed.

So there. Mixed feelings. I know I should be thankful but people are sooo smart here!!!

My first 18 movie

I went to the cinema last Sunday to watch Legion. As you probably know, Its 18PL (I think its PL, could be SG). So anyhow, I managed to get in. The guy didn't even bother to check me, although at that time I went in with my parents. Then finally when we got to the theatre hall, I told my mum, you know this movie is 18 right? And she was like " How in the world did you get in?????".. That's why I didn't tell you earlier, Mum... =) Its not that my mum isn't cool with it, its just that she worries more than I do, so she'll panic when they check our tickets (then I really wouldn't get in...).

All in all, i have to say Legion was quite a good movie.. Lots of suspense... i loved it.( I also loved it because of Kate Walsh).. But it was soooo weird.. You know, in Private practice, Kate plays an Ob/Gyn who really loves babies and she goes out of her way to make sure all the babies under her care are safe, but in Legion, she plays this very traumatised woman who just lost her husband( he was attacked by a grandma zombie) and so there this scene where she snatches the baby Messiah and goes " Its just a baby!!!! Give it to them (the zombie people) and they'll let us go!!" and it felt pretty weird to me... If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch Legion.

Anyhow, my mum was the one screaming throughout the movie. There was once when the bad guy was about to reach the good guy and the whole cinema was quite because of the suspense, and suddenly, my mother screamed so loudly I had to cover her mouth... People actually turned and stared at her.. I think my mum should be banned from violent thrillers, not me...

CNY edition blog : part 2

Cornflake cookies!!

Cornflake cookies are harder to make, cuz they involve egg beaters.. uggh. I dislike egg beaters cuz my mixing bowl is small and everything flies everywhere. Which means i have to clean up later.

Besides, the ingredients for cornflake cookies have to be bought separately, unlike groundnut cookies, where the ingredients come in packs. So for cornflakes, we had to measure everything and etc.

Did i mention that halfway through, the machine broke down? Finally, only one side could work. Terrible.. But then again, the cookies turned out okay.. They were buttery enough, but one major drawback was that they they were over hard and salty. We were supposed to sell some off to this hawker lady outside, but she rejected them cause they were salty.. =( No extra pocket money this year..

CNY Edition blog : Part 1

Groundnut cookies.

All in all, can be categorised as a success. Groundnut cookies are easy to make. Just buy all the ready ingredients from the market, mix evenly and divide into little balls. Use cooking brush to gloss egg yolk over the top, then put in oven at 180 for 20 mins per tray. Can't go wrong.

However, my Grandmother and I had extremely conflicting ideas on how to apply egg yolk to the cookies. She thought (and still thinks) it was better to apply egg yolk all around the cookies. I thought it was better to just apply a little bit of yolk on top. She won that fight.

But just so I could get the last word in, I made three groundnut cookies a little 'differently'- one triangle shaped one, one square one and one that looked like the leaning tower of Pisa. Then when she was looking away, I put said three cookies on the tray and shoved tray into the oven. Needless to say, my Grandma was not happy.

Woohoo!

SPM is over!!

Finally, all that we've been waiting for for 5 years has passed.. And though I feel relieved, I feel weird as well... Its like, I have nothing to do except have fun now... Until college, that is... Today i found out that my job is gonna start in January.. So its fun fun fun til the end of December... :)

Puppies

As some of you know, my parents and I found some stray puppies and their mother at this shack-like area in Air Itam. We took pity on them cause their bodies were all mangy and they were all extremely thin(like, I-can-see-your-ribs thin). Since the shack is only a 5 minutes drive away from our house, we decided to go there 3-4 times a week to feed them and give them water.

The mother dog is thin and weak. Her puppies are all very young, probably only a few weeks old. I didn't want to call the SPCA because I know that if there wasn't enough space for them then they'd all be put to sleep, and I didn't want to be the person who brought that on. Anyhow, these puppies are so small, so cute, tottering about aimlessley, sometimes falling over for no reason at all (like Kelly). But unlike Kelly, they haven't been walking for long.. xD Sorry Kel.

The fact that they were born into a life like this just tears at me, but they don't seem affected at all. They're innocent. The other day, I caught one sleeping right smack in the middle of the road. Luckily, there were no cars and I managed to pick it up and carry it to safety. They play around and eat when we bring them food. When all the food is finished, they nip at each other and try to cajole their mother out to play with them. They're so happy and carefree, but imagine how tough life actually is for them.

It makes me think. Here we are, we have food, clothes, a roof over our heads, air-conditioners(I'm speaking for myself here), Playstations(I know most of you have this) and Ipods/MP3s(yes, most of you have this too). AND YET, we ask for more. More money, more things more bladebladebla. We aren't happy until we get all the material wealth that we want. How superficial it all seems, compared to the scenario I presented above, where hungry puppies just want someone to play with them.

Its sad that from 4 puppies now only 2 are left (I dunno where the other two went) but I really want to protect them from all bad influences. I can't, though. And I really wish they weren't born to suffer like this. But everything happens for a reason, I guess...

The car

As most people know it, there has only been one thing and one thing I have talked about recently, the stupid car. Because of this car, I have not been able to go out this whole week even though I planned NOT to stay at home a lot.

The car broke down on Thursday while my dad was fetching me back from Gurney. Luckily Sabs and Kel didn't follow me back, else we'd be stuck near Union High School in the pouring rain. My dad couldn't do anything about the car, cuz the rain was so heavy and he couldn't get out of the car to see what was wrong. So he decided to step on the clutch plate over and over again. Thankfully, after 15 minutes the car decided to move again. The journey back, to me, was the longest journey home ever. I kept worrying about the fact that the car may break down at any time and we'd be stranded in the rain. Luckily it didn't.

The next day (Friday) my dad sent it to the mechanic. He promised to have it repaired by 10 pm but then later he said he didn't have the parts and we had to wait until after raya before he could ask his supplier to send the parts he needed. So that was it. Monday and Tuesday = whole family grounded at home. Thanks to Sabs and her parents though, I got to go out on Tuesday while my parents stayed at home. (I feel so special) On Wednesday, my mum had to hitch a ride from her friend to go to work. My dad went out to get the car back( the workshop is just outside our house) but then the mechanic told us that the highway was packed and so the supply truck would not be arriving until 12 midnight. ( Meaning that we would only get our car back on Thursday). My dad was starting to get irritated but what could he do, right?

Yesterday, my dad went out to check on the car again. Now the mechanic told him that after repairing the car, he found something else that had spoilt or whatever. So, he said he needed another day to import the other part that was needed to repair the car and fix it. Hence, it is Friday and I am still grounded at home involuntarily. I feel sick to my stomach thinking of the fact that I've been having dinner at the same coffee shop (outside my house) for the past five nights, and will continue to do so tonight and maybe tomorrow night, if the car isn't repaired by then. I'm going to die of boredom!!!!

Okay, I've finished ranting now. You may stop reading, else I'm sure you'll die of boredom too.

My birthday

This year is the first time where my birthday falls on an exam day. Therefore, as predicted, it went by pretty uneventfully. I'm not going to name the people who wished me like Kelly did, but it doesn't mean I don't remember who you are. I have your names on a list stuck to my room door. (Everything that's important to me is stuck on my room door)

I would like to say thanks to everyone who got me a present. You know who you are. And this year, I was initiated into the 'My Little Pony' collector's gang, with a cute purple pony named Cherilee. Hahahaha, I know what you're thinking. XD

My parents got me an ice cream cake from Maxim's cake house. Delicious, but sinfully fattening. It was tiramisu with a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEE dollop of ice cream (i dunno what flavour but it wasn't tiramisu) right smack in the middle of it. Yum yum. Sorry I didn't offer any to you people, my dad finished it. (It was really good)

What I'm thinking about right now is the fact that SPM trials are OVER!!!!!! So freaking fun. It's the last, school based exam ever! (I say this because SPM itself is a government exam and isn't school-based). Of course, I promised myself that I would keep studying exams or not, so I'm going to try my very very best to stick to my promise. (TRY)

Hahahaz!. Tata for now.

Whoosh

Whoosh.. A flurry of events. Its the holidays again. And in about 11 days time, all the Fifth Formers of SGGS will be sitting for the SPM trial examinations. So while everybody else is going about enjoying htier holidays, we , the fifth formers, are stuck at home, studying. But it isn't because we aren't allowed to go out, cause I sure as hell am allowed to, its because, we only have 11 days to study.. 11 subjects.(this is me) AND we feel guilty that we haven't started with our revision, we KNOW that we should have started a long time ago, but we didn't. Why didn't we? Well, cause we're lazy-ass teens, and last-minute is our motto. In fact, if we ever do anything NOT last minute, the sky really is falling(go out and check). I don't ever recall myself studying for exams a couple of months in advance, I don't even recall studying for exams ONE month in advance. The only way I know how to study is : cram a week before exams. And that's exactly what's gonna happen now.

But then again, the reality is that SPM IS dawning on us. (yes, fifth formers, SPM is near. Less than 100 days now) o_O ( i know) .. And I know that cramming 7 days before SPM is NOT going to work. And I also know that SPM is the LAST exam I'll be taking before I leave secondary school. I know that SPM is my ticket to a good college, a good university. I KNOW all of that. And I DO want to do well.. But I just have no MOJO yo...

Everytime someone mentions the words SPM I think back to the start of form five, where everything was possible. I didn't do too well in form 4 but hey, maybe in form five i can score straight As... Then my hopes came crashing in the form of my report card, 12 As (incl. PJ and civics) BUT 1 C.. Stupid, stupid C (add math of course). Now I don't hate add math, but why oh why can't i do well?? And now I've gotten As for my three sciences, but will I be able to maintain that A? Not confident.. But I have faith.. In prayers. (Pray, pray, pray, pray) Lololz..

But all in all, one thing is FOR SURE :

> If I wanna score Straight A's for SPM (and trials)

Hang in There

When danger seems to lurk ahead
And everyone leaves you behind
Just hang in there

When people start to judge you
In your most trying times
Just hang in there

When all your dreams
Seem to fall apart at the seams
And you have no plan B
Just hang in there

When your friends don't understand you
Or don't even try to
When irritation seems to surface ever so often
Hang in there baby!

When its time to leave
To part ways
When goodbye really feels like its going to be forever
And you can't breathe
Hang in there
Smile and wave

Just hang in there
And take deep breaths
Cause tomorrow has to come someday
And maybe then everything will be all right....

So its FINALLY happened

I've passed my duties down! (Congrats to Harvey and the new RC committee of 2009/2010!) You know, I'm not as sad as I thought I would be..

You see, at first, I wanted to pass down my duties by the 30th of June (you can see I'm already past my deadline). I didn't think of how I would feel, or how it would happen, or what would happen after that. Then, I was invited for the band handing down ceremony. I saw Atiqah cry after she handed her duties down to Zaifi.

It hit me then that passing down my duties may not be as easy for me(emotionally, of course. Physically, I just have to pass the whole file and etc to Harvey and say congrats) as it seemed before. I still remember when I joined RC in form 2(Melissa's year) and was blur as... well, a younger version of me.. I didn't register for duties because duties were rare back then. The first RC meeting that I went for was a practice session where they were going to choose marchers for Annual Parade. It was at HQ and I remember it clear as day. We were all standing in rows and following commands and etc. They picked the older ones first, then Melissa looked at me and was like, "her marching okay, i think can kua" (and i remembered thinking 'of course-la okay, I was from band you know??') But now of course, I know that I wasn't actually very good back then... XD

Then when the time came for interviews and my name was listed, I went for the interview not knowing what the hell was going on. They wrote all the posts on the blackboard and was like, pick one post that you would like to hold. At that point, I wasn't very sure what a section leader or an asst section leader did, so i didn't dare pick those posts. Pandai-pandai, I bluffed, saying that i wanted to be secretary because I was good at writing. (actually, it was because I didn't want to pick treasurer( didn't like keeping money back then), didn't dare to aim higher than secretary(I'm not that perasaan, only form 2 k?) and also cuz I didn't know what the other posts were for, and was afraid that if I picked those posts someone would call my bluff...
Kononnya I was good at writing la, but I managed to emit the fact that I didn't like to write very much. Then a friend of mine(who was in form 5 at the time came to me and told me, "Aiyah, you won't get it la...') so I thought, no hope d, nevermind. But shock of all, I managed to get Asst. Secretary... Not bad...
And so begin my rise and dedication to the society... I really love RC, even til today. I've devoted a lot of time to it, (just ask my mum how many times she's scolded me for being too active) but I found that its the one society where I belong, where I fit in, which fits my nature...
I thought that passing on would be hard on me because after all the time and devotion to the society, I finally would not be needed anymore... I would just become another part of Unit 9's history.. But now, I think maybe that's not so bad anymore, and I'm taking it fairly easy. Harvey will make a good president, Grace and Su-Lin will be great assistants, and I have full trust in Jing Yee, Carolyn and Yuan Sin as well as the rest of the committees. So I have no worries.
Did I also mention that I'll be joining a VAD? Of course, after SPM la.. This means that I can still contribute to the school's RC society by doing whatever I can, seeing as I'll still be an RC member..
Okay, I know this feels like "my life story" or whatever, but you didn't actually have to read it if you didn't want to....And besides, its my blog, I can write whatever I want. Helps me relax, by writing everything down...

Ta for tonight, be back with more.. (obvioulsy not on this topic)

Science and Maths : In MALAY

Seriously? Is this what the new government is up to? Do they really think that the decision to teach Math and Science in Malay is going to help 'bridge the gap between rural and urban students'? Well, what about the gap between ' Malaysian students and students from other countries'??? That IS the bigger picture, is it not?



In these times, English is the language of the world. Anybody who cannot speak English will have difficulties. I'm not saying that Malay is not a good language, because it is, but English should be prioritized, especially when it comes to Science and Maths. Consider this.. We learn Our Maths and Sciences in Chinese then Malay, then ONLY when we go to college do we actually learn them in English. Isn't this creating students that should no doubt be dubbed as Jacks of All trades, Masters of None?



And another question to our dear Education Minister :

Which international university in their right mind would be willing to accept Malaysian students into their Science and Maths courses seeing as the only Science and Maths terminologies they have learnt and know how to use are in malay? How can they compete with other students worldwide?? If I were the dean of Oxford or whatever, I would definitely NOT accept people who have learnt the courses in a foreign tongue!



Does this mean that Malaysian students who want to study subjects related to Maths and Science can only study in Malaysian universities? Right now you're kinda ruining our chances of ever studying abroad...

And so you say that English is still a priority, that you will continue to hire foreign help to educate teachers and students alike in English, but wasn't this what was promised a looooong, loong time ago? Still, we Malaysian students are lagging behind other developed and even under-developed nations! Even China has begun to stress English as an important subject and all its residents, young or old are beggining to master the language. India's English proficiency level exceeds Malaysia by a very high margin. But here we are, Malaysians, trying to de-learn English and revert back to Malay. Why so? Already most subjects are being taught in Malay, like History, geography, Civics, Moral, Kemahiran Hidup and many many more.... I feel that enough emphasis has been out on the subject, so its only fair to have English being used as well!

Oh well, just my rantings, nobody's gonna care anyways...

My hair.

Its official : My hair is now shoulder length.. Or shorter, actually.

You see, I'm sick at home and the hot weather is making me feel worse. My headaches are bad and the doctor was like " You can't expect me to just give you medicine and make the headaches go away, it just doesn't work that way!". Then lemme ask you doc, just HOW does it work? But he gave me medicine anyway, to reduce the giddiness and pain. But the side effects of the medicine : you'll feel hot, and sweat a lot(that actually rhymes).

And so it was that I found myself sitting on the couch sweating(not perspiring) bucketloads, even though I had bathed like, 4 times in the last hour. Finally, I just couldn't take it anymore. I walked to the hairdresser and told her to snip my (nearly) waist-length hair off. Long enough that I could tie it, but short enough to not get in my way.

Hairdresser : You sure ar?
Me : Yeah, just do it. Very hot leh.
Hairdresser : (Ties rubberband around my hair) If I cut it this short, you can still tie, but let me warn you, it'll be quite short!
Me : Okay, whatever. Just cut it off. (Actually, I couldn't see how short she indicated because I didn't have my spectacles on).
Hairdresser : (Raises her eyebrows incredulously). Oooooo....kay.

You see, my hairdresser knows how much I love my hair as on the three previous visits I refused to let her snip a lot of it off. (I used to tell her things like : "Just trim a bit enough! Just a bit, just a bit!")

But once she saw that I really wanted to do it, she tookout this huge pair of scissors, then with one snip, cut off the hair JUST below the rubberband. Nearly six inches of my hair gone. Painless.

Hairdresser : ( Ties the hair into a small bunch with the orange rubberband) Nah. (Hands my hair to me).
Me : What do you want me to do with that???
Hairdresser : Keep lah. You finally managed to cut it off. Good for you.
Me : No, thanks. Just throw it away.

When I came back, I tried to tie my hair properly, but it just formed a short-ish bob that reached my neck. I'm so used to running my fingers through my hair until I ran out all the tangles, but now its so short it doesn't have any tangles.

Oh god, I feel bald.

P.S. I know I'm not bald, but to a person who's had such long hair in the past, this is really, really, really short. Some of my friends in school are gonna kill me.

TOILET BOWL RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!

Okay, the name may sound disguting, but its actually waaaay cuter and cooler than the name suggests...

My mum and I were shopping in Queens and we were looking for something to eat. We wanted to try something different, meaning go somewhere we hadn't gone to before. So we went up to the 3rd floor(the Cinema floor) and were looking around when we saw this restaurant behind the cinema snack counter. Itss called T-Bowl Restaurant. Actually, its a very very interesting conceptual restaurant which highlights toilet bowls. Needless to say, the owner(s) of this restaurant has let his/her/their creativity loose as nearly everything was shaped like a toilet. The seats are REAL toilet bowls(just not attached to the pipes) and the tables are actually unused sinks covered up with a glass piece on top. Totally cool. The menu is colourful and creative, with a toothbrush stuck at the side.

The menu, with a toothbrush stuck to the side

Even better, the food is served in bowls and plates that take the shape of tolet bowls, toilet bowl covers and bathtubs. My mum and I decided to share a bowl of noodles, as we weren't very hungry. the noodles came in a toilet bowl (see pic). Then we shared a banana boat, which came in a bathtub shaped bowl. I saw that the couple to the left had ordered some kind of fried noodles that were served on plates that were shaped like toilet bowl covers.. Seriously. Oh, and while the girl brought us our banana boat, she was carrying a bowl of chocolate ice cream... Guess what? the chocolate ice cream? Shaped like poop. YES, really. Too bad I didn't manage to take a photo of that, she wouldn't let me take a photo of someone else's food... :( But oh well, i'm gonna post whatever pictures I took here and if you like the idea, you people go try the food..)

Our food, which came in a toilet-bowl shaped bowl

The tables(which are unused sinks) and chairs(toilet bowls)

A close up of our table ( a sink with a glass pane on top)




Our dessert( Ice cream in a bathtub shaped bowl)

I forgot to mention that the food tastes quite good, and the prices aren't too bad, considering the high overhead that Queensbay Mall charges. I mean, a bowl of soup ramen with a huge drumstick in it was only RM10.90 (enough to feed two people I suppose) and the banana boat we ordered cost RM 6.90.... Freakin awesome....

I have no mood to study!!

You know how high school students in Malaysia enjoy saying things like, it's okay if I don't get good results now, I have time to study and I'll do better in the next exam. And during exams, we say things like "after this exam, I'm gonna go home and study sooooo hard that my eyes will fall out of their sockets". I, am the first to admit that I have been saying things like that sooo often, so many goddamn times indeed...It starts off with me studying a little bit, then realizing that I cannot cram the entire contents of a 600 page revision book into my head in time to sit for the exam(which is usually two days away). Then I tell myself things like, "its okay, I didn't have enough time to study now, doesn't mean I won't have enough time to study for the next exam, I promise to start earlier". Which is, totally, fine, if you stick to your guns.

But I for one, am not someone who sits down and studies, unless the subject being studied is one that I really like( none, under the current exam syllabus, unless you count English, but I don't know how to study for English). I mean, I really don;t mind History, or whatever, but last minute cramming is my style, and it has been my style for oh so many years. I just can't bring myself to do it any other way. It worked for me in standard 6, worked for me in form 3, so my logic is that it should work in form 5. Only flaw in that logic is that I'm taking 11 subjects, and (logically speaking), if one subject has a 600 page long revision book that needs to be studied, then last minute cramming entails stuffing the contents of eleven 600 page long revision books in my tiny, tiny brain. Of course, there are subjects that have less things to study (eg English, BM and IT) but then there are subjects that need A LOT of time to study (eg Physics, Chem, Bio, Add Maths and basically everything else). And if my recent results are anything to judge by, then I have to say, my style definitely isn't working. Obviously i would not be able to do any last minute cramming with these subjects, and need to start studying early.

However, here I am sitting in front of the computer, Blogging. There is a revision book on the table (actually, there are a few revision books, but I failed to notice them before) but I just don't have the energy to pick them up, much less open them. All those promises I made to myself about studying? Broken, broken, broken.

And hence I sign out, but with much resignation.

EXAMS

Actually, exams so far were not bad... I mean, I doubt I did very well for my Science subjects, but I hope I didn't do too badly. I think I'm extremely worried about Physics.. And Bio... And come to think of it, I'm worried about Chem too... Whoa I'm screwed. And honestly, Add Maths wasn't very very bad, but still there were quite a number that I couldn't do... Sad.. Which means my Add Math marks won't be great either.. Oh, history was okay, but it was really just okay.. Wonder if i made a lot of mistakes? My god, the essays! Nine whole pages, my hand felt like it was about to drop off! But at least there was stuff to write, I'm thankful for that.. (Hopefully the stuff is actually correct xD)
I think from what you can deduce, exams weren't really that good right? But I think it was okay because.... Well, last minute studying isn't really very effective..... Hahahahaha..... And the weeks before the exams I really couldn't get myself to open the book, so didn't study...
Somehow, I think exams release some kind of hormone(or hormones) in your brains which make you want to study. Its like, now is the exam period, suddenly you feel like you have to study and you don't mind studying. Then you start telling yourself things like, after this exam, I'm gonna study even harder and I'm gonna continue studying so I won't forget and etc. But the moment exams are over and you've received your results, you forget about all those promises you made to yourself. In conclusion, I can say that exams release a studying hormone. Hahahaha... Don't you agree?

Oh.. Kris Allen won American Idol.. This doesn't actually make an impact on my life.. Nor does it affect or change anything.. Honestly, I don't care who wins seeing as its not like their gonna share their wealth with me or anything,... And I didn't actually follow this season of AI that much, just watched a little here and a little there... But if it were me, I would pick Danny Gokey... Okay, I'm biased.
Hahaha... Sorry kel, I know Adam lost and you're still sore over it...Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this...

I love RC and I'm terribly sorry.

Whoa, exams never finish yet but still my school holidays are already kinda packed. Its like, Ed-Board meeting, Meep's birthday, primary school Reunion, the Environment Quiz, trying to kautim all the attendances for RC this year(that will take at least 2 to 3 days) and hopefully, I would like to squeeze in some training or wtv for RC... Where got time to study???

Oh, I think I'll be passing on on June 30th( I mean, my post in RC). Then I'll be FREE!!! I love RC and all, but i don't think I've been a very good president. I mean, when I took over, I wanted to increase the attendance of people, but I haven't actually managed to do that. I think I'm not strict enough. God I suck! I think that after the exams and before I pass over my job to the next president, I am going to TRY and change.

Here are my manifestos :
1) I'm going to go out and catch EVERYBODY I SEE who is wearing the white RC T-shirt and REd school pants and give them all amarans or demerits.
2 ) if I manage to sort out the attendances, I think I can give those people who haven't attended any meetings at all amarans or demerits under 'ponteng aktiviti KK'.
3) I'm going to highlight out all the names of inactive members and paste them on the RC board.

That way, at least the person taking over, whoever it is, will have an easier time. Its the least I can do for RC. I'm really sorry as I feel that I could've done more, but its too late to start.

Oh, I may start a blog for RC during the holidays too.. XD.. It'll be quite cool.

Sorry blog, for not visiting...

I know, I know.... Haven't posted anything for a few weeks already... But that's because I was too busy.. But now that I'm actually online, I have so many things to talk about!!!
Gonna just say everything I wanna say...
First : Tales of Despereaux- Very detailed animations, EXTREMELY cute graphics, but hopeless plot. Go watch it if you like, but the tickets had better be cheap ones.

Exams(how boring!)

Oh well... As everyone knows, exams are dawning on us again... So sad man.. It seems like, when there are no exams, there are topical tests, and when there are no topical tests... there are exams... We never get a break from the loop!
And this time, I know that they're EXAMs but I just can't get my mojo up to start studying! i mean, so far, I've read- bidang 2,4,5 (Moral) and History chapter one and half of chapter 2, but that's only because We had to study for topical tests... And oh yeah, I've been studying half a chapter of Bio.. For the past three days.. Reading the same things over and over again cuz I can't remember anything....
I still have so much to study!!!! Physics, Chem, the rest of Bio, the rest of History and Moral, then revise A.Math and Mod. MAth, and of course, IT...
which brings YOu to the question: Why am I blogging at this undgodly hour??
The Answer: You're right.. I shouldn't be.

Adios

A post that contradicts my previous one

Hallo again!

Its 2.20 pm on a Wednesday afternoon and I'm at home, sick. I have a severe headache, which I've had since Sports Day and I'm dizzy too... Which makes you wonder, why am I even infront of the computer? Answer : To complete my homework..... Of course...

I went to the doctor and she told me that my headaches could have been caused by anything under the sun. It could be dehydration from Sports Day, the stress of everything(exams included), the fact that i didn't have enough rest and etc and etc. So, since she couldn't actually diagnose anything, all she did was give me two days MC and enough medicine to get me high. She was like, "take whenever necessary". Nevertheless, the medicine doesn't seem to be working as I've been 'taking whenever necessary' and yet the headache doesn't seem to want to go away...



But my main point in posting this blog is to say that school is actually kinda a waste of time. Not to say it sin't good, but I belive school hours shouldn't be soooo looooooong... I mean, today, I woke up at 9 am. Had breakfast, read a few chapters of a novel, then started studying a bit. Then my headache worsened, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up, it was only 11.30 am! So, resume studying.... At 12.30, had my bath and then took my lunch. Mind you, its only 1pm and I've already done so many things! After lunch, sit down in front of my computer and start typing with the aim to finish my homework. At 2, I've already finished my homework and as you can see, am blogging. After I post this, I'm going to study for the moral topical test tomorrow. This is because I can't call my friends for homework yet, as they've yet to return from school. Say, at 3 pm I call my friends for homework, and it takes, 1 and a half hours to finish the work, It'll only be 4.30! I'll have time to take another nap(because rest is of the utmost importance) before I go for tuition at 5.30. After tuition and dinner, it'll only be 8pm and I would have completed my homework and done my share of studying for the day. Then, I can relax and watch a movie before I go to bed at ten. Great isn't it?

Now, compare this to the schedule i have when i DO go to school

Jum out of bed at 6 am, get ready for school. Chew granola bar in the car cause ther's no time to eat. Get to school by 7.15 am. Then, busy busy busy busy till 2.30 pm. If on Tuesdays, til 4 pm. Sometimes, school is so hectic that I forget what I've learnt by the time I get home. So ok, say I get home by 3pm. Have lunch and bathe, presto, its already 3.30! What about homework? Okay, another one and a hlaf hours spent on homework. Its 5 pm already. No time to sleep, head straight to tuition. At 8pm after dinner, can I relax? NO! Haven't studied, remember? Put in another 2 hours studying and woah! Its ten pm already.. Time to go to bed. No relaxation time. No wonder I'm sick. No time for a break, not enough sleep. So now you see...

*Note to readers : The school schedule was a very ample one. Usually I have stuff to do, so I either skip tuition or forgo the studying at night cause its already so late. Explains why I'm so dumb.

Gonna go study again.....
