the next big thing

whew, finally trials is officially over

wait!!

before i automatic click into REJOICE mood,

it suddenly dawned upon me that the-oh-so-important-finals is merely 34 days away!!!

WTH?!

seems like exam is a confirmed part and parcel of a typical student's life

so, no point whining everytime one is around the corner right??

Although I am always clearly aware that revision needs to be done early, still, i often find myself struggling to finish revising before the exam commence ~

even though the thought of 'i'll definitely start studying today!!' is always ringing in my head,

but somehow, 'tommorow la' will creeps in and win....=.=

today's exam was seriously my worst exam, ever!

not referring to the paper though but rather my state of health

before entering the hall, i was perfectly normal albeit feeling somewhat tired

but, the moment i entered the hall, my nose just somehow became totally blocked AND started raining mucus!!! believe me, ya do not want me to go into details coz its totally *gross*

so, i spent the first one and a half hour of the test with utter discomfort, not just having to resort to breathing through my mouth, but also frantically wiping those mucus off every minute.....

to make my day worse, just when i can finally breath through my nose (hallelujah!), came the migrane attack......

therefore, i ended up spending the remaining time trying to organise my answer so that it actually make sense~(everything was jumbled up!!)

Did i screwed my paper???

Pleeease not!!!

Errghh, this ends the rant of the day~

just to make sure this blog ain't dying

So, i'm officially 19 starting today.
What better reason to post an update on this virtually dying blog??
oh, this sounds really pathetic..

Do i sound emo?? seems to be....
it's the sort of my-big-day-today, and yet, my spirit is just too heavy to be lifted

did something bad happened?? nah~
this situation is more like the result of cumulative stress which can't be disposed off right now at least

previously, it was all about assignments
currently, it is all about exams
unending exams to be more precise
week after week, exams after exams, and yet there is still more to go!!!

i'm frustrated!!!

but don't worry, i'm still managing myself pretty good here, minus my injured leg of course.
haih, feel like a total idiot by injuring myself just by skipping rope.
the consequences?? limping (its getting better already) and a whole month of abstinence from strenuous activities.
in other words, any form of exercise is a no-no. But i foresee myself breaking the rule, perhaps tomorrow??

anyway, thanks for those whom remembered my birthday and took the effort to wish me, sing for me, and prepared presents and cake to celebrate this-should-be-joyous occasion.
Well, i may not be over the moon, but i'm happy nevertheless

ending this with a smiley =), just to show that i'm definitely OKAY

on cloud nine.....i wanna remain there!!

Ever thought that you did badly in the exams but passed with flying colours in the end??

It totally happened to me, for the first time that is

Well, i wouldn't say that sem 2 final was superb hard, but yea, it was challenging nevertheless

i believe that all students had to race against the time just to complete those papers

Today, all ausmatians were supposed to register themselves in college. At the same time, it was also parents-lectures day. The time where some parents are called up to meet wit the lectures.

Anyway, before the event started, some of us (including me) kinda took the opportunity to peak at our results. since all of us are still clueless on how we fared

i was instantly stunted when i saw mine!!

iT was like those OMG-something-must-be-wrong situation!!!

it never ever occurred to me that i would be able to obtain an average of like 91!!!
To top that, i did amazingly well for my maths, something that wasn't expected at all!!

To be honest, i was totally prepared for the worst, especially for maths, since there wasn't enough time to recheck my paper (i'm a pro at silly mistakes btw). i even left some questions unanswered.
So, to score a 94 was totally out of the topic!!!

once i saw my result, the first thing i did was to recheck, double check even triple check the student ID on the result list. well, perhaps my eyes were playing some dumb trick on me right?!

okay, i'm still feeling superb surreal now. i've to admit that i never ever expected such good result. Though i did study (who didn't anyway?!), but still, maybe i doesn't deserve such result....

well, it like a usual thing right to be able to predict ones result right after finishing a paper.

usually there will be either a feeling of overwhelming joy (man, i did really well!!), dissapointment & perhaps anger( shit!!!totally screw the paper. please let me pass.....), or relieve (though i did not perform up to expectations, but heck, at last it's over!!!)

i would say that i'm in the 'relieve' category.....

ahhhhh.......i'm sooooo confused right now.
just hope that what i saw was true*crossing fingers*

an unbelieving good start for the upcoming semester perhaps??

beggining and the end

i'm now officially back at Shah Alam for my 3rd and also last semester of the AUsMAT course =P

I'm superb exhauseted!!! imagine walking up and down to my room on the fifth floor for about 10 times carrying stupid heavy boxes!!! gosh, my legs were practically wobbling when i did the last transfer!!!

crap, if only i knew that we're using the same room as last sem, i would never ever have cleared the whole room!!!

thank God for mum and dad which were here to help me!!

hmmm, this sem is supposed to be less hectic compared to the previous,
since well, all the major assignments are practically done, with only the presentation stage pending

and, since there'll be no more lessons for IELTS, i'm praying that we'll have more days in which lessons would end at 1pm rather than 4pm...(pleaaaase let this come true)

ah well, i'm really supposed to stay focused and work the extra mile in this last stage of preparation before the final SACE exam.
This is it!!!
the point in my life where the future actually lies in my own hands.
to be able to fly or the other way round
it's all about the RESULTS!!

not forgetting some of my friends whom will be enrolling in university soon, best of luck to you guys!! enjoy life there, well *ahem*, of course not forgetting to study hard as well~~

to the future doctors, pharmacist, dentist, accountants and forensic scientist
Roselind, Shoba, Rachel, Lydia, Stephanie, Jien May, Zhi Hui

CHEERS~~!!

5 days.....

after major relaxation theraphy for 2 whole days, i'm off to BTN tomorrow.

heard about some pleasant and 'not so pleasant' stuff concerning this program

nevertheless, i'm not supposed to jump into conclusion before experiencing it myself right??

so, off i go!!!

p/s i'll be strong =p

4 months

yea,that's the period of time i totally abandoned my blog,
seems that it's unfit to name myself a blogger anymore eh? x.x

4 months, a long time you say?
so.not.true
and i'm speaking from experience

feel like it was just yesterday that i'm whining about returning to Shah Alam for semester 2, and now, it's OVER!!

feel like it was just yesterday that i'm all stressed up due to the load of assignments practically thrown at me at an instant, and now, i'm almost done (yea not done, but almost, and i'm grateful =P)

feel like it was just yesterday that i'm burying myself with books for thE upcoming finals, and now, the last paper juat ended!!

feel like....oh, i can just go on and on and on!!

indeed, i've to fully agree that SEM 2 ain't easy. to juggle between assignments, presentations, quizes,test,apart from maintaining 'up to level' results.
However, just reminising those 'hardships' made me realise that i've grown,
into a person that manages time better,
into a person that is able to perform under stressful conditions ,
into a person that is able to fully participate and work with others as a team....

people grow with experience, don't they?!

ahem, it'll be impossible for me to update every detail about my life here in the past 4 months,
but i'm glad to say that i've lived
i've complained,
i've cried
i've laugh my head off
i've spent sleepless nights
i've been bored to death
i've enjoyed(man, can't believe i'm saying this!!)
and i'm gratefull and contented.

shall try to post some pictures, if i'm immune to the lazy bug (>.<)

Things are Piling UP UP UP~~

First of all, a big big S-O-R-R-Y for the immense lack of updates.

I've been practically on-lining everyday and yet, somehow there's this strong sense of reluctance to blog!! What the heck!

Anyway, i've eventually manage to drag my fingers here, so so so
'An Update at Last'!!

7 weeks of holidays, 7 major weeks of holidays,which is a total of 49 days!!!
seems to just passed in a blink of an eye~
ahhh, time really flies when one is going through upmost enjoyment eh?!~cruel!!

And, i'm back at Shah Alam(physically true, but i think most of my spirit is still in Ipoh...LOL), stepping into my second week of 'school' term...

Just after no more than 9 school days, we are already being BOMBARDED with loads and loads of projects and assignments!!! Practically every single thing needs to be done from scratch. From selecting an appropriate topic, to getting teacher's approval, to frantically searching for usefull info and sources....whew, there's hardly any time for a break! Some requires a planned trip, some involve surveys, and the english assignment is almost a research paper, some sort of investigation...

Looking at the positive side, most of these major projects are due a few months later, which implies that we'll have ample time(i certainly hope so!!) to complete them....

Ahhhh.....

Gearing myself for the most stressful and busiest semester(according to seniors~~in which i totally support) ever~~~

God, please grant me immense wisdom and strength through this tough period. Amen

finals unofficially over~~~

okay, you guys must be asking why the word 'unofficially' rite??

since BIO paper today marks the end of 'exam which involves subjects that need to be studied', i personally declare that exam is OVER!!!!!Though in reality, there's one more paper to go on Monday---IELTS

okay, i'm not saying that English does not need preparation here. But since this particular IELTS test is only a college based assessment, which does not really affect my overall gred since it's not the real IELTS exam....so, it's human nature to put it on the not-so-important list right?? Furthermore, i'm only having the listening and reading component which can't really be prepared.....
well, hah, i should just skip the explanation part right from the start~~LOL

Anyway, TIME FLIES!!!!REALLY! yea, i know i've mentioned this many times, but i'm always getting this feeling~~~just before this, all of us were still studying our butts off for the final exam, and now it's kinda over!! And semester break is already around the corner!!! Woohoo~~~that's the best news man!!!

short update

is currently on a healthy diet once again!!!

no more living on bread and biscuit entirely ever since bringing in a rice cooker from ipoh ~~

whipping up some really easy and surprisingly delicious home-cooked meals whenever time is on my side ^_^

from various flavours of porridge( this is a super flexible dish i tell you, almost anything can be added in!!!) to soups, to stir-fry vegetables and simple omelets~~~
guess that i'm eventually gonna cook up a storm here?! LOL....

anyway, cooking is not anywhere near troublesome as many assumed it to be. With a little effort, a simple yet tantalizing dish can be produced in no time!!! yea, looks like i'm kinda encouraging people to start cooking eh??

so, apart from issues in the kitchen, life is still loaded with enormous amounts of assignments, test, quizzes, pop quiz(oh, i hate that one the most!!). However, everything is going on smoothly(hope that it'll continue this way shall we??), and i'm managing life here pretty well.

oh, not forgetting to mention that i bump into JAMIE in City Harvest yesterday. It was really enjoyable to be able to see someone you know from high school after such a long time!!! Will be seeing much of her i hope since i'll be attending CH constantly when i'm in Shah Alam. Really enjoyed the lively worship and powerful sermons there!!! Nothing beats experiencing God's presence from my heart and knowing that he's always by my side, supporting and carrying me whenever i fall~~~

God is good, All the time!!!

Hectic~~~

It's been all about quizes, tests and assignments for the past 2 weeks...

bURRYING MYSELF IN BOOKS AND DUGGING MY WAY OUT AGAIN...lol

hah, anyway

glad that it's all over!!! For now at least...

Guess what??

Hari Raya HOLIDAYS are approaching!!!
counting down~~~

Have been buying dinner from the nearby Ramadhan Bazaar these few days
seriously, i'm really impressed at the amount and varieties of food there
gosh, especially the mouth-watering malays kuih!!!!

Ah~~~~indeed, the temptation of food is hard to resists!!!!

Watch your waistline gurl!!

First Home-Cooked Meal *super proud*

hey hey hey

guessed what, i finally came out with some cooked and edible food here!! *hoorays*

well, it wasn't anywhere near lavish, high-class, glamorous lar

but then, hey!! i cooked!!

Ta-da: Healthy steamed-egg!!!
P/S :for those rolling ur eyes or in the midst of LOLing, stop it!!

A simple, hearty and healthy meal~~

The Ingredients : tomato, egg and mushroom

Working on the tomato~~
all prepared~~~


mix,mix,mix!!!

off you go into the rice cooker (working as the steamer)~~~hah

done!!

yummy~~~

for those wondering about salt or anything to enhance the taste,
THERE'S NONE!!!

see, nothing is impossible without salt!!!haha, actually, there wasn't any...that's why...hah

anyway, the final product was amazingly good
thanks to the tomato that gave it a natural sweet and sour taste
of course, it would be better with some meat and seasoning!!!

Till the nest time~~~

There's a reason for "Home Sweet Home"

Gosh, i'm seriously becoming more and more attached to my home sweet home~~~

Feeling more and more eager to go home each time there's a chance,
and of course feeling more and more reluctant to return to campus each time it's time to go!!

Those doing Form6, APPRECIATE these time(while you still can) with your families!! Being close to home, or to be at home, it's like the best moment in life,
for me at least....

Just came back to Shah Alam and i'm already missing my family!!!

Darn!!

Next stop: Raya Holidays=Go HOME again!!! woohoo~~~

hah!!

kays, enough of crap here...
better start doing my piled assignments and be geared-up for revision!!!
Exam is just around the corner!!!
Yikesss....

gimme my mid-sem break

please, please, PLEASE!!!!!!!

let the mid-sem break be on~~~~

please, please, PLEASE!!!!!!

do not cancel it~~~~

after the 1 week 'durian runtuh' holidays which most of us here enjoyed(of course!!no doubt ^_^), there's a 'maybe' that we would not be getting our original scheduled holiday....nooooo......

ah, there's always a price to pay for something unexpected eh??!!

so, do not take things for granted....

anyway, I WANT MY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

communication cut off

Bad news : my phone BROKE-DOWN!!!
what a convenient time for that~~~

so, zhiying would not be using her phone for a month, of course this is just the worst case scenario la....
hopefully i wouldn't have to opt to send my phone back to Ipoh for the repairing job

so friends, don't even bother to call/miss call/sms me yea, since there wouldn't be a positive outcome =(

The air here is getting really bad, really really bad....
seems like the HAZY season is back for the year...
even after a quite heavy downpour this morning, the haze is still hardly unnoticeable, making every object around blur and insignificant suddenly...

my poor lungs, my poor skin~~~

And,and,and,
i just got my assignment for computer studies
-create and design an advertisement for a product-
okay, it may seems to be an easy job for those computer pros,
but i'm practically crying for help??!!
anyway, our group decided to promote 'floating houses'...
wishing for the best now!!!

Haizzzz....

weekend at home

nothing beats the opportunity of being able to spend the weekends at home, seriously NOTHING
though it's just a mere two days, but those 2 days meant a lot to me
having home-cooked food, spending time with my family, watching the tv at last after 2 weeks *laughs*

Hari anugerah was enjoyable indeed,
stepping into my alma mater once again, reminiscing those wonderful and precious memories
meeting peers, close friends, trying my best to catch-up with their current life
some are striving hard in Form 6 while others seems to be enjoying college life a lot

Nevertheless, all of us agreed on one thing : Secondary school life was indeed the best among all.
Though studies could be very stressful at times (with a minimum of 10 subjects kay, what do you aspect??), but we had our joyful moments, with schoolmates and also sporting teachers~~

And yet, it's a nature for us to appreciate when it's over, gone, and never coming back to us, for us

Back to life in INTEC!!!!

Classes had been going on for a while now. And yeap, assignments are coming to get us already.

Well, frankly speaking, i'm getting kinda used to the lifestyle here *thank god*
getting up in the morning for breakfast, going on the bus for a ride to the campus, shivering in the fully air-conditioned classroom, grabbing free Sun newspaper in the library if possible......

that's all for now, gotta get going to do some research for the latest essay~~

Orientation *again*

since orientation is practically a must in all colleges and universities, it's kind of obvious my 1st week here is and will be all about that

Frankly speaking, orientation here is way, way better and relaxing compared to what i've gone through in matriculation earlier.
Well, facilitators do not scold or lecture us, no extreme sports whom will eventually lead us to cleanliness disaster-the only event that made us really sweat was aerobic dance. Mentioning bout aerobic, gosh, i really need to salute the male instructor. He kind of did those dance movements which are quite feminine right in front of us!!! he even shuffled man~~~ o.O

Well, orientation here is kind of tiring too. Since we only manage to catch about 5hr of sleep each night.

there's talks, perjumpaan with the penaja, LDKs, etc....One more aspect that outwit matrics is that they supply us with food during the orientation week. So, no going-hungry-during-orientation anymore ^_^

Uh, need to get back to the dewan after at 2, so i'll be going now. Anyway, it's already amazing to be able to blog during orientation week!!! LOL...

HAH
