so little time, so much to do

I've been surfing the net for 5 hours now and still have not found a text suitable for me esl assignment.. like what Ms Kam said " very paik chek." It is very time-consuming! Why is ESl so tough? i bet IELTS is way easier that THIS! Gosh, geramnya.. so much homework undone- chemistry, never ending Math Ext1, upcoming physics past years......
5 more weeks to finals..5 weeks ONLY...time has been passing by super fast this year like a bolt of lightning that strikes during a thunderstorm (practising the use of hyperbole) I am still undecided of next year, not knowing which course to apply for, whether i still wanna stay in Malaysia or going somewhere else??? so many things to consider.. paik chek!!!

Quote of the Day: Paik Chek = under tremendous pressure

the doomed week

first day of the week and i got back my trial results for 4 out of the 5 papers. wah, really teruklo! Math and Extension 1 were horrible. Math, my only hope of getting a Band 6 *poof* GONE. Didn't really do well for BS as well as compared to the highest marks of 96. Actually all my marks were not very well cos' the highest marks were like 96, 97, 98... My results fall under the okay-okay average category. English was the worse coz' i lost a lot of marks due to unfinished essays and answers. But Ms Kam said as long as in the external exam, if the examiners like our essays then they'll give us the band 6. she even said she has confidence in us. i was like, " Ms Kam, please don't have such high hopes on us. We might disappoint you like what happened in our trials results." Physics was a bit disappointing. Surprisingly, i didn't receive the 'screaming gift' from Laala though i didn't do well in Chemistry. Hahaha..However, i wasn't really like superX1000 devastated with my results. guessed it's because I've already expected this kind of results and didn't really expect much

My predictions for my results were rather accurate unlike some whose predictions are totally inaccurate and merely reacting as if they're gonna fail their papers.
Once my friend asked me what i got and i said " very low ler..." but it turns out that she got a lower marks than me..see..your definition of 'low' may mean 'high' for another person. However it will be a whole different story if you added the phrase "low marks-way below my expectations". Okay, this is just a piece of advice to all of you including MYSELF because i do that at times too=) Janice scolded me for that before...hahaha!!

Here's a pastry for those who have a sweet tooth:

recap of the week

ok my week started kinda boring and slow but from Wednesday onwards, I've been going out..that's good.

Monday&Tuesday: sleep and TV series(i apparently just sat in front of the TV and just kept watching regardless of what TV show)

Wednesday: went out with kp and ange..G.I.Joe damn nice! so canggih. bought a new sandals at last! mission accomplished

Thursday: first time drove alone to disted. raining and digi was down on that day. made me nervous nia. but everything turned out well and had lunch in kfc with hy, jan, ht, charmaine, regina and sui ming. the shrimp stix was like super small as compared to the ones in the ads

Friday: whole day movie marathon "why why love"(huan huan ai) though this show was released last year. like may yee said that I'm outdated. gosh. I'm in love with the 3 characters in the drama. i cried like a mad girl for the last few episodes. being so obsessed, i went to youtube and watched all the-behind-the-scenes and found out that mike he jun xiang is such a good actor..watched a total of 10hours of the drama

Saturday: badminton with mone, jan and joe..paid rm16 for a 2-hr court but ended up playing for one hour only. sat there and chat and later went to oldtown chat again. reminisced our prefects' camp experience and my din-wear-ahem. LOL. finished the drama series. SUPERB! then msn shu hui told me she also prefer taiwan dramas to hk dramas cos the heroin in the taiwanese dramas always gets to choose between the two super hot heros..Hk dramas more realistic and they don't always have happy endings. so people, watched taiwanese "ou xiang ju"(idol-typed dramas) if you wanna seek for relaxation during your holidays!

Sunday: no mood cos whole body ache(after playing badminton), kept thinking of my undone esl homework and was having the back-to-school blues..to make myself stop thinking, i slept..see, this is a very good example of a pig.

Tmr: have to attend some praying ceremony for the hungry ghost month..hope my mood will be recover tmr though unlikely..

Out of the 15 things i've planned to do, i managed to do approx 12. very good!!! one more day before i start my miserable doomed week...

don't SMS while driving

i received an email about a case concerning the consequences of " Driving while in-TEXT-icated". the 18 year-old girl was driving at 70 mph and hit a car. BADLY. Then this email also contains photos of the little boy(in the car) who had to undergo surgery for multiple skull fractures as a result of the accident. both his eyes were blue black and the stitches could even form a curve from one side of his ear to the other ear. but after 5 days he could actually move and even watch movies with his iPod. Luckily, he managed to become a normal person after some time without any disabilities.

Seeing the smile on his face was just so inspiring. it shall serve as a reminder to me when I'm driving so that i would not be like the 18 year-old girl. How would you feel if you actually cause someone's death just because you can't resist SMS-ing? For me, I think i would feel guilty for the rest of my life. SMS-ing while driving only puts yourself and other road users at danger. If you yourself got injured or badly damaged because of your action, you have no one to blame but yourself cos' you have to face the consequences of your reckless action. but wouldn't it be unfair for others to lose their lives because of you? while accidents due to poor road and weather conditions something you cannot avoid, choosing not to SMS while driving is definitely something you can CONTROL.



There's one more thing which all of us can control while driving- SPEED. we young drivers tend to have this ego issue when we drive like the " syiok feeling" after we potong a car etc.. i admit i had this feeling before but not anymore now. Why do we have to drive so fast? What will you lose if you drive a little slower? you can still reach your destination at last. So people, drive at a moderate speed and let other drivers potong you especially when you have friends with you in your car..their lives are in your control.. One more important advise that my mum always tells me is " Never Hesitate when You Drive".

Stay FOCUS while Driving

Sem-break: 15 Things I wanna do

Every time I'm having exams, i will always think of what i will after exams. i very 'hong sim' wan.
so here's a list of stuff i would want to do:

1. Hang out with friends
2. Watch Kevjumba videos
3. Bowling( i miss all the strikes!)
4. Eat-out dinners
5. research on texts related to "Maestro" ( this one is a must-do =( )
6. Jogging with parents
7. Visit Simone and Janice at Disted
8. Cook pasta and soup
9. Watch Martha Stewart and One Tree Hill
10. Shopping with aunt
11. Singing to myself aloud at home
12. Recipe-hunting
13. Play with my nieces and nephews
14. Get Lotza SLEEP
15. Bake cookies and my cuppie cakes!

Post-exam

trials is finally O.V.E.R. it was tough for me cos' i only did a "separuh jalan" preparation. so during this whole week of exam, i was sleep-deprived and stress-overloaded. 4 hours of sleep everyday but of course i had my usual afternoon naps. to compare to some of my friends who barely slept during this whole week, 4 hours is actually a lot already..i salute u guys! Angelin you're one of them! =)
It started off with English and it was...(totally p.i) Tuesday was the worst for me.(but it did not make the other 4 days any better though) Chemistry and Business on that very same day! I had no appetite to eat at all. i practically wrote "separuh jalan"punya kualiti of essays for Ms Sara. As for Chemistry, I'm already hearing Lala's voice scolding me " haiyoh! How come u get so low?!" I was facing difficulties even in Maths, so needless to say about Math Extension1.
Well, i can say that i actually ruined my last chance to improve my grades before the external papers. Crap! Why didn't i start revising earlier? Why am I always a last-minute person?
i have no one to blame but myself. we may continue grumbling about how we cannot finish revising or how we ended up staring blankly at the questions but deep inside, i know that it's my own mistake.
but trials is now over and it's now SEMESTER BREAK! hurray! need some time-out..
