Hibernation
5:10 PM - Saturday, September 12, 2009
The title says it all. Now I am currently under a great deal of stress, mostly mental stress because of exams, and I have to put in all the effort with studying instead. I know that I did not really blog often, but sometimes you have to make some sacrifices right~ for exams! :)
My mocks have already started. But the exams that I really am afraid of-- it;s Physics and Chem. I have to revise those two subjects like freaking hell! That us, unless I wanna fail and disappoint everyone. Mocks is my only hope. It's 45% for my internal. Super super heavy weightage! My blog has been under hibernation for quite some time, but I hadn't really made it Official. Now it is official. So, I should beat this right?
Wish me luck for MOCKS! Maybe after the exam, I will post a bit, then hibernate this blog again. I know that I'm treating this blog very hot and cold, but I've no choice. Blog or results? DUH~ results!
Now, the less I talk here, the better things will move on. So long, but I'll be back. This isn't the end. :) It's a MOCKS Battlefield! I'll be back~

Exams!!!
2:38 AM - Sunday, September 6, 2009
I just don't understand why AusMat got so many exams! :( I really feel sad when I think about all these exams! But it's like I can't stop thinking about it 'cos it is all piling up non-stop. *sighs* It is so late, and I just can't seem to be at ease. Usually I would be deep asleep, but now I have to resort to reading storybooks to calm me down already. God knows how much more tension my brain can take. OK, I know that this post is getting way too emotional. *breathe deeply* Next time, please please please, someone tell me NEVER to take such programmes like AusMat. I want to make sure my sister doesn't suffer the same way that I do. It's crazy. Wait, crazy's the wrong word. It's way worse than that. It's erm... really really tough?I don't care. After the ****ing (sorry, I just needed to cuss, get some anger out of me~ :)) MOCKS and Externals, I am gonna celebrate. LIKE HELL! I don't give a damn if I wake up in the afternoon or whatever, go shopping every single day or play computer games like hell, it is MY revenge. My turn to RELAX! Stupid AusMat put all this pressure in me, I cannot become insane. I must be sane.. so if I do all this, I will be hyper. And hyper is good sometimes, 'cos:"An apple a day keeps the doctor away,A hyper a day, keeps you happy all day"WHEW~~:) Now I feel better! Omgggg... I just remembered something. Physics exams are coming up, and I always score like shit for it. No matter how much I studied for it, I just get bad results cos the questions are REALLY TOUGH. OK, now I feel depressed again...* * * * * * * * * *
On the plus side, I already took out my braces!! Woo-hoo! Yeah, at least that one little thing made me happier a bit. I just got it out today (technically, yesterday) and yup, I feel weird. That used to be something that blocked my teeth but now, there is nothing.It feels lighter, like there is nothing adhering itself on my RABBIT teeth! Yeah, it's a rabbit teeth. So I
don't know if I actually looked better before or After. It's your call. No piccies... sorry, cos I want to see their ORIGINAL reaction! ;) But still, my gum had some problem. And my teeth is yellowish when they removed it. Must whiten it! What to do, part of it was covered by the brackets of the braces, so when you brush it's not cleaned properly regardless how many times you brush it a day... :]
Wah... see how I can change from one topic to another? ;) Now, my mood turned trom sad to neutral already. Forget about the exams. For one night. I'm gonna die, but most importantly, I need my sleep now. I'm tired, I'm freaking exhausted, and I am damn sleepy. (Well, not that sleepy.. but my eyes are closing a bit.) Yeahhh... I SERIOUSLY need to get some sleep now... *yawn* Best of luck to me and my fellow Ausmatians and anyone who will be sitting for the exams soon! ;)
I forget the Applics test already.. I want to get over it. I screwed it, it was bad. Probability and probability distributions was never my best chapters. All the ones that I could do, did not came out. All the ones I COULDN'T solve came out. How ironic. She's wasn't really that sweet afterall.... haha..
Good night!! (more like good morning now...)

Exams exams exams...
6:15 PM - Tuesday, August 25, 2009
If there is one thing that I hate about AusMat, it's the number of internal examinations they created for us. Seriously, it's enough to give me a mental breakdown! (OK, so maybe I am exaggerating a little here.. :)) but really, there's just too much to do. Topic tests, assignments, it's all just the tip of the iceberg. Let me show you a glimpse of what I am going to have next week, or probably, coming up soon, even this week.
* * * * * * * * * *
~EALD Speech Writing Test on 28th August
~Biology Topic Test 2 on 1st September
~Chemistry Lab Assesment on 1st September
~Malaysian Studies Examination on 2nd September
~Malaysian Studies presentation/ report on 3rd September
~EALD Oral Test on 5th Sept - 9th Sept
~****ing Physics topic test on 10th Sept.
~11th Sept - 24th Sept MOCKS exam!! (this is crazy GILA!)
* * * * * * * * * *
SEE?!! Everything is in freaking full swing!!! And I'm still NOT ready! I'm gonna K.O soon.. seriously. I don't know of the word 'chill' already, 'cos now is NO time for a chill! (OK, so I have to chill a bit now...)
What MERDEKA break? Sorry, no time for it. I have no Merdeka this time -- since it is only for one day only. And we still haven't get any breaks!! I tell you, AusMat is freaking killing me now! My parents wanna take us out but I don't think I will be enjoying it as much as I would in the past. Obviously, when you have so many things running in your head how can you relax and enjoy your ownself? Look at the Schedule and you'll see what I mean! My sis is still enjoying the 'Plants vs Zombies' game.. duh... seeing that she's only 12! She has UPSR coming up but she's too smart. Too calm, cool and collected. But I am confident in you! Get 5A's for me kay! (I teach you wan you know.. if you don't get then it means you calling me a useless teacher! :))
And horrors, Miss Rosemary is not setting the paper, but she told us of what was probably coming out for the exam! So sweet of her, she's one of my favourite teachers! ;) She told us what was probably coming out, but in the end, it seems like everything is just coming out. So we just took note of what she emphasized, cos, well, when it comes to MOCKS... there's no such thing as playing a fool! (For GOD's sake, it carries up till 45% of our internal coursework!) Heavy weightage, and heavy price to pay if you get bad results! (And that's exactly what I have been getting so far --- shitty results. It's ironic to think that your parents paid 18k for you to be here but you can't be confident of yourself and that your grades are falling, more like, skyrocketing down to the slump. Yeah, in this case, it is a strong negative linear relationship.)
* * * * * * * * * *
Whew.. vented out all my anger and frustrations there.. I feel a bit better and lighter now... like there's something that listened to me complaining as I type. I can't wait for AusMat to be over! Then it's happy days for me again! Woo-hoo! :) But, after that, I have to start Uni, and I think that will be worse. But I have to brace myself for the life ahead of me right? After all, life's a climb.

Just laugh...
4:24 PM - Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Haha.. got this from somewhere. Just read it, and have fun laughing your hearts out. Cheers! :)***************************A roommate can cramp your style.
YOU can learn a lot about a person by sharing a hotel room with them. Idiosyncratic behaviour is often magnified in a confined space, and hitherto unnoticed habits can test the closest of relationships.
Some people are neat and tidy. They unpack their suitcase immediately after checking in, hang up their clothes, line their shoes up in pairs and arrange their toiletries in the bathroom in an aesthetically pleasing manner. They never leave hair in the bathtub or underwear hanging on the back of the bathroom door.
Others can be so untidy that it takes them less than five minutes to transform a pristine room into something that looks as if it’s been worked over by a tornado.
These people never hang up their clothes. They simply unzip their suitcase and add and remove clothes as needed. After a couple of days, all their clothes, worn and unworn, lie in a mangled heap in the open suitcase.
Such people are also inclined to leave damp towels lying on the bathroom floor or draped over the back of a chair, and dirty plates on most horizontal surfaces.
Of course, some people who are neat and tidy are also selfish. They unpack immediately so they can hog all the available storage space.
They use up all the coat hangers (usually three or four) in the cupboard, arrange their shoes to cover the limited space at the bottom of the cupboard, and place their toiletries in such a way that others sharing the bathroom with them will have no choice but to store their toothbrush on top of the bacteria-infested cistern.
Such people are also usually quick to claim the best bed as soon as they enter the room. You won’t find them sleeping in the bed nearest the bathroom, with the air conditioning vents blowing on their neck. They will take the bed nearest the window – the same one that has a better view of the TV.
I once shared a hotel room with an ex-colleague who was so concerned about aesthetics that she brought along some knickknacks from her house to decorate the place.
From a large bag, she produced several scented candles, a container with potpourri, a small rug, a framed photograph of her children and scatter cushions.
But she wasn’t content with stopping there. While I was busying myself with details of the next day’s seminar, she began rearranging the room’s moveable furniture – in a bid to improve the feng shui, or so she said. Thank goodness the beds couldn’t be moved; otherwise I would have ended up sleeping with my feet pointing away from the TV.
As it was, I didn’t even sleep in my bed that night. You see, after lighting a few candles, my colleague lay down on the best bed, fell asleep and began snoring in a very loud and unladylike manner. I was forced to retreat to the bathroom for the night – so much for good feng shui.
The next morning, she awoke, stretched slowly, purred like a cat, and then announced that she’d just had the best sleep of her life. I fought the urge to stab her with my bacteria-infested toothbrush.
I also once shared a room with a woman who is afraid of loose hair lying around. There’s even a medical term for this: trichophobia.
I was oblivious to this fear, until after we’d checked into our room and my friend began talking in earnest about the bathroom DOs and DON’Ts. No stray hair in the bathtub, or on the countertop, or on the floor. No hairbrushes or combs left on display.
Razors also had to be stowed away while not in use. In short, I had to remove all evidence from the bathroom that I had any hair, at all. I became paranoid about my hair falling out. After drying my hair on the second day of our stay, I noticed the countertop was covered in the stuff. So I did my best to remove every single strand.
However, my efforts must have been somewhat lacking, because 10 minutes later, when my friend was in the bathroom, I heard a groan. I chose to ignore her, which was rather selfish of me, because she could have been having a heart attack for all I knew.
When she called out a second time, I went into the bathroom and removed a miniscule hair from behind the tap.
Nowadays, I’d rather not share a room with anyone, if I can avoid it. That way, I can sleep when I want, comb my hair with gay abandon, and even fart out loud, all without having to apologise to anyone.
It’s called “being human”.

Hello~ :)
6:14 PM - Tuesday, August 11, 2009
I know that I have not blogged for a long time. I miss you, bloggie! :) I was restraining myself from blogging so often, and yes, it WORKED!! woo-hoo! Anyway......Lol. I did this out of total boredom. The first one I got, 127, 2nd one, me and Kaushlya did together. See.. two brains is always better thank one! ;)
Just stop by there and take a break ok!? Go, go, go, go now! Do the tests! :) I know I sound like a crappy salesperson. Anyway, that was not the field that I want, so, I don't care~
I am here and supposed to be doing research, but I am playing around doing nothing. :) But what can I do? Everytime when I tell myself, research, my fingers will just click click click and the next thing I know, I am to my blog, or other webpage. *sighs*...... OKOK, be serious now, Violet. Do English assignment!! No MORE playing!
But let me make a bit of your day. Read it, and you will be guaranteed to laugh like mad! It is so so so funny! After all, sharing is caring right?! ;) Got it from Nicole... Thanks girl! :)
Desperate students wanting marks... :) *typical me*
Actually, I have something to tell... :) Remember that day when I did my practical for the Chemistry? It started like this:
I'm doing everything in my titration so nicely, then everybody was told to be quiet and all, since this was an exam. Ok, we all cheated DISCREETLY. ;) But somehow, I have never had any experience of it, so I was almost instantly caught. I was not sure of the SToichio Questions and I glanced at my friend. The teacher saw me and walked up to me. She immediately presumed that I cheated. I kept quiet and I felt soooo embarassed. She almost confiscated paper, and I and my partner almost got a heart attack. It wasn't fun. It was a *pauses* close-to-death kind of situation. Shoulda put the whole dialogue here, but, no, I won't cos I'm out of time. All I wanted to do at that time was to just dunk my head into any solutions be it acids or bases or FA1, FA2, or stupid FA3. I don't care. I felt so guilty! GOD, I'm never ever ever gonna do that again. It's super scary!
When the exam was over, I met the teacher and apologised profusely to her. It felt different, like I wasn't being even me just to get some measly few marks. She forgave me, thank God. This is the first and the last time I am ever gonna do that. I'm glad I was caught though.
Lesson learnt. Now I have to learn how to do My maths questions. Chem's exam is coming up again. Seriously, I hate freaking AusMat now. Next time, I will stick to a 100% external paper. I regret not listening and thinking that Australian syllabus is better than Malaysian. He said 50-50, so I thought that sounds good. And I thought it was good, now I change my mind. It's giving me constant headaches, pressures and I have to start studying like how I did for my SPM again. Only much harder.
On 17/8 - Chem Topic Test
(Redox, Stoichio, and Acids and Bases)
03/9 - Applicable Mathematics Topic Test
(Probability! WTH.. I hate it!!!)
Then, somewhere in the middle of the September month....
MOCK EXAM!!!
It doesn't sound good, and It is every students WORSE nightmare. This will haunt me~~
Anyway, I have to go now. It is a really long post today, and that should make up for the 2-3 weeks I have not been blogging. Haha... I have to go now. Will do the assignment at home!!! Must do!

5:59 PM - Thursday, July 30, 2009
Yesterday, we were all required to do a Physics practical lab assessment. It was a horrible rush, and we all were rushing like nobody business to complete it on time. He only gave us all 45 minutes to complete it, which was waayyy not enough. Obviously, everyone was out of time. Me and my team members only finished it when we did a second attempt and checked the connections again.
Two of my group members did some mistake, so I helped them correct it. In the end, they helped me to calculate the gradients, intercepts and all. And then!!! Padma the Grizzly Bear said that we have 3 minutes left. Everyone gasped. Then, one minute left. As if it wasn't enough, he have to start the stupid countdown. This isn't New Year! To make matters worse, he add salt in our wound. He's not going to accept any more papers the moment he said 'zero'. Well, the stupid 50, 45, 30, 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 countdown began again. Everybody ran to his table and just threw their paper in. I was still half-way writing when my friend snatched her paper and dragged me along to hand it in. If I was sitting at the back, instead if running to his table, I would fold it in an aeroplane bad threw it to his table. :) If it did not reach his table, I hope it pokes him at his face! Hahaha... I am so bad... I obviously won;t do that though! But thinkingabout it now, made me sooo temopted to sit at the back and fold a paper aeroplane and toss it in his face... :)
Today there was some physics Q&A, and me and my two other group members also got called. I was tossed a slightly hard question and I can answer it, a part of it, but it wasn't that accurate. however, HE did accept my answer.. :p Phew.... :) So, teddy's not that bad today, everyone was laughing in the class, and I can tell that he is in a good mood. Lucky me!
* * * * * *Talent Time was a huge success. I used to thought that I can practice and learn singing + playing instruments, but sadly, no. I want to learn though. :) Hopefully, I will. The singers are really good, the dancers are really good, and so are the instruments players. Too bad I did not take pictures, cos it was really a wonderful event.
I think I'm having the flu now. I have to start taking precautions now. Rubbing my nose constantly is causing it to be in pain. I gotta start blowing it all out now.. yucky! :)
I think that's all I want to blog for now. I feel a sneeze coming! Bye~~ :)

It's a garden, where you click and flowers will appear. Ok, I know, I'm a little girl again...
Now, I'm bored. I better get back to studying. It is so fun to play with! :P I feel like such a little, little, little girl posting random things like that... OMG, omg...
Today it was 8 hours of studying and I am tired. My mood cheered up a bit when I see those flowers! I know la, girls like me will love it. Boys that is not girl-ish (just kidding ya!) may HATE it! Anyway, I got to go now.
Will update later when I'm free. Ciao! :) I know it is a really short post of mine, so, SORRY!!

Sometimes...
1:28 PM - Saturday, July 25, 2009
I've just watched a few movies, but not Harry Potter yet. Many people said that it's nice. Well, maybe they're right, but I don't think I would want to watch it anyways. :) I just realized now that I like the Transformers show best. Ah, well. Bare with me OK? One week later, I will say that I like another show, either Confessions of A shopaholic (Which is so laughable, cute and funny!!), some chick flick or maybe, Harry Potter. I'm being a bit random and funny today. It always happen to me. In classes, I would suddenly turn so happy and hyper and laugh suddenly. So, I don't know whether it is good or bad but in a way, I think it is good. I will feel happy. And Happy's good. :)
Now for the sad post. At my grandparents house, there were actually five kittens. They are so cute and adorable with all their baby antics. Too bad that in porch, there is a lot of cars, and so, the kittens died when:
1. My mum killed one of the kittens. She was reversing her car and uh-oh, one of the kitties scrambled underneath. So, end of it's life.
2. My uncle had also reversed. The day after my mother killed one of the kittens, two more died. He was also reversing the car, and he had shoo-ed all the kitties and mother cat away. Well, you know kittens. They ignore everything, and just when you thought that the coast was clear, they began playing hide-and-seek underneath your car. So, two of them died.
Well, now it's all down to only two kittens and mother cat. I'm so sorry for the mother cat. But we can't reverse the damage anymore. Rest in peace, kittens...
We love you ok! :)

It's a long long time...
5:19 PM - Monday, July 20, 2009
I know that it's been a very long time since I last post anything in this blog. (I know, bloggie, I miss you too!!!) OK, I think it's time I don't over-miss my blog... :)I am in Sunway College blogging away. After this one teeny post, I'm off to studying. I can't break this promise! Really.. have to study already! (The cons of having too many computer staring right in front of me is too much. Way too much!) Anyway, I have changed the skin AGAIN... cos I find the old one is taking too long to load. This is more of digital and modern design, so it will definitely load much faster. This skin looks nice, but I'm also missing my old profile template! (C'mon, girlie, don't feel so sad!) Oh, and I am probably going to change my blog template again. I have to start planning when I am going to stop blogging because I will have to stop and lock the computers from beyond my reach before the WACE exam. God, this is such a competition between my will and my results. So far, my TER is only 80+, and this is a catastophe. Bye-bye, Pre-Med, unless I can push up the grades.
So, today was a bit boring, cos I had eight straight hours of studying, and no break at all, in between. Imagine, my poor empty stomach crying out constantly to me, giving me some pains, once in a while. I had to smeak out cos eventually I can't take it any longer. It's so unbearable. I know, I know, I have to be feeded once every few hours. Blame my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) on why I can't grow. I don't know whether I am really lucky to be given such high MR or not, sometimes.
Stop that growl, tummy. Everyone's staring. (Maybe I should advice it nicely instead...)
I don't know about you, but I sure do know something. I'm missing all the language that I've learnt, or I was learning in the past. Everything seems to be a lot different. No more BM (OK, I know all about my angsty post initially, but that was only about the abolishment of PPSMI), but everything only seems to be English. Sure, I loved it! But I also don't want to forget my other languages. I have two sisters too, and they depend on me for language help sometimes. As I read the Anak Laut novel yesterday, I felt a little bit stupid. The language that had often came easily to me, now I have to read a few times to understand what it is trying to say. I felt a bit compelled to also not forget about this language suddenly. I hope that I can do as I say.
I guess that's it for now. Suddenly, I'm not hungry. I'm cold, though. I've forgotten to bring my jacket to college. Well, that's the price I think I have to pay: Suffer in silence along with the cold".
What a joke. :)

How stupid!
4:16 PM - Thursday, July 9, 2009
This is the one time that I dislike being a Malaysian. Hello? Reverting Science and Maths back to BM after all these years of teaching the students in English?! What kind of stupid government decision is this huh? I know that I've got to chill... but honestly, instead of moving forward, we are all moving backward! Why not the government just say: "Let's go back to the stone age time OK, people? We are learning it all in BM. End of story." That would sound so much better, and no discussions is required! They wasted months and months just to think of the PPSMI thing! Any dumbo idi*tic person can tell you that subjects should be taught in English. You can ask an old man like my grandfather and I can bet with you that he would have agreed with my opinion. Honestly! What kind of Cabinet is this? Might as well just put back all those ministries who agreed with the BM switch back in their home cabinet and let them fall asleep there la!
Typical "katak di bawah tempurung". In this case, it is: "seperti katak yang sudah terkunci di dalam tempurung dan tak boleh keluar langsung!". Many people will use that peribahasa for sure! :) I have been taught since young that English is the global language. I even spoke English day in and day night. That does not mean that I forget my own roots and culture (In short, I can speak chinese and stuff). They say that many teachers are not able to teach Science and Maths in English, but then they say that this as many as fourteen thousand teachers will be hired to teach English. (*fainted*) What an irony! They can employ teachers to teach in English but not Maths and Science?
Anyway, I really really hope that the government would change their mind as it doesn't make any sense. Teaching these subjects in English is the best solution for all of us. We're the citizens too, but we can't get to choose our rights. So much for the nilai: "Kebebasan Bersuara".
That's all for now. Yes, I'm a bit mad over this decision cause I know that they did not analyse this whole thing properly. They're just lazy la, in short. Where can switch things like that to and fro? In 3 years time, this whole cabinet would be reshuffled to and fro. Guaranteed.
