Que Sera, Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Do you still remember this song from when we were young? I kind of like it, especially at times like this when I think I’m growing up too fast! I wish time would stop, you know? When the world ceases to evolve, or rather it evolves without the passage of time, or time itself stays stagnant, whichever that can happen without time going by. I know I’m not making much sense, but you get my gig right? Or maybe you don’t? But then again is it important, seeing it’s just another one of my whimsical hopes which would probably never happen anyway.

It’ll be Minzy’s birthday on the 30th of December, so I’ll appreciate it if you can wish her a very happy birthday, for my sake, okay? Or for her? Whichever one you prefer really (:

I can practically kill myself for not having read a proper book throughout the holiday! When I say proper book I mean reading it from front to back, page by page, because I always have this bad habit of reading a bit of the front, skipping to the end, reading a bit of the middle then re-reading the end. Yes, I know, it’s a horrible habit, which spoils books for me, especially mystery books where the villain/plot/motive isn’t suppose to appear till the end of the book when the police catches the bad guy and the bad guy spills why he’s been behind all the crimes!

Facebook is taking over my life. Okay, I know, it’s pathetic. But really, the games they have! Everytime I get bored of a game, another one appears! Can someone just take away my password or something? Eileen! I’m still using the password you changed for me months ago. Can you just rechange the password for me, please? Don’t want me to fail my SATs, do you? ):

I’m a little phobiatic towards people I don’t know who add me in facebook. I mean seriously, we write most of our personal stuff like our college names, ex-school names, interest, email, etc in our profile. In addition to that, there are all those photos of us doing silly things with our friends and family. Okay, the person who added you could be some harmless guy trying to add more friends in his friends list just to show that he’s more popular than his friends, but what if he really is a serial killer, or a stalker who might like… kill/rape/murder/etc you? So yes, if you’re going to add me, although I think everyone who visits this blog already knows me and have me in facebook, and you decide to use an anime inspired name and photo for your profile or whatnot, please send me a message telling me who you are. Or if you’re someone I’ve met once or twice in an event and might not remember, owning to the fact that my memory sucks, and want to stay in contact, do send me a message too. I know I’m being extremely paranoid, going through each friend request, checking out their photos to make sure that they’re the actual real person I know and checking all their information twice before accepting each request, but one can hardly blame me with how dangerous the world is today!

I guess that’s all really. No pictures to accompany this post because it’s really late and I have to get some shut-eye. Nightssss! <3

End Year Trips

Hello everyone!

Well, I’m finally from travelling up and down peninsular malaysia. The trips were enjoyable, but unfortunately, the day after I arrived back from my holidays I received a letter stating my results which pretty much dampen the whole Yayy-I-just-came-back-from-my-holidays spirit. I expected lousy results for my chemistry, that, I can let go on account of the fact that I spent half my time in the toilet trying to puke on the day of the paper itself. But my physics really suck, to the point where I myself have hardly any excuse. Yes, I know it’s still slightly above average, seeing as the college so kindly wrote down the average marks for each subject, but I just can’t accept it! *living in denial wth. Best result turned out to be thinking skills. I must have like the weirdest results in the whole class!

Anyway, to lighten up my mood, I’ll go on talking about my holidays! I have finally realize that my camera’s cable is well and truly lost, so no pictures shall be up on the Thailand trip till I’ve finally either miraculously find it back or end up buying a new one.

P/s: I’ve actually written this whole post last night but unfortunately forgot to save it, hence, I have to re-write the whole thing again.

Thailand

Thailand was good, and truly worth it, especially after the whole conversion thing. Food, transport, clothes, books, tourist attractions.. whatever it is, you name it, and it’s much cheaper compared to Malaysia. We went for the river ride in Chao Praya River and Safari World. Safari was really really good, especially the animal shows! I’m not a big fan of animals or anything but even I have to admit that the animals there exceeded my expectations. Chimpanzee really can put on a wrestling show, sea lions can walk on their fins, elephants can play football and paint pictures which would put most kid’s paintings to shame and dolphins really can catch rings in their snouts! It was definitely worth your money and time and if I ever go back to Thailand, I really will go to Safari World again, despite having been there already. Somehow, I feel like I’ve accomplished more if I do go on tours and visit touristy places rather than go shopping all the time, but I guess it’s up to the individual. Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping! I just don’t want to visit nothing but malls for my entire trip anywhere.

I tried a few spa massages as well. The foot massage was good, especially if you’ve spent the whole day walking around the city. The Thai massage on the other hand was… hmm.. how shall I describe it? Ever watch those gymnastic shows on tv where little kids prance around doing tricks you know you’ll never be able to do what with your bones all hard at the age of 18 and never having gone to any gymnastic classes before but wishing you have after watching them perform? Well, here’s your chance! I won’t recommend this to guys (too much touching around!) or people who are extremely rigid (especially people who can’t even stretch type of rigid) though. But if you’re up to trying new things and want a taste of gymnastics, well, go ahead.

Minzy asked me to visit pratinum, and I’ll highly recommend it to anyone who wants to find affordable but fashionable clothes. They have this sort of discount which they call wholesale price, so you get really cheap clothes there, and pretty too! (;

The only frustrating thing in Thailand would be the fact that most of the people there can’t speak english. I’m not talking about upper lip British english like how Chester and I always role-play but they can’t even pronounce numbers! I was once asking this girl how much a head band cost and she wanted to say one hundred seventy but it sounded more like one hundred twenty. One waiter won’t talk to us at all and when we asked her how long we had to wait for a seat, she wrote down 30 on paper indicating 30 minutes rather than tell us. Oh, and maybe Malaysian chinese look like thai cause somehow all the people there who approach me started speaking in thai really really fast to which I have to wait for them to catch their breath before going ‘Sorry, but I don’t understand a word you’re saying’ to which they’ll give you that smile which I have no idea means what. T__T

Overall, Thailand was a good experience and I’ll say it’s definitely one of those places in south east asia you must go to before you leave here to go overseas to study or work.

Singapore

First of all, I’ll like to say thank you Huei-wen for organizing the trippp! Huei-wen, Jyy Yee, Pei Ying, Tse Wei, Bo Yuen, Qing Lin, Chee Hung and I managed to go. The trip was very well organized, hotel was especially cheap for a 4 day 3 night stay and we went to lots of touristy places like Sentosa and the zoo. Sentosa was funnn! We did the pakage deal and went for 2 lude ride + unlimited sky ride among others, although we only sat on the sky ride once as we were rushing for time =/ I’ve actually sat on the lude ride before, although it was definitely fun to be competing down the slope with those bunch of people. ;p

I like the sea, although I would like to go to the sea again as I haven’t gotten as much sun as I would have liked and I’m rather pale to be honest. I’m really healthy and not at all sick but somehow my paleness sometimes give people the impression that I’m sick or something wth. A few pictures to illustrate what has been going on in Singapore (pictures have been stolen from Tse Wei and Jyy Yee’s facebook photos. credits should be given to them for taking such excellent photos and having the patience to post them up in facebook. thanksss!) : -

the bunch of people whom I love from left: bo yuen, qing lin, me, tse wei, huei-wen, pei ying, chee hung and jyy yee

me and my dearest roommate, Jyy Yee. she was really nice, and I have no complains whatsoever with staying in the same room with her, although the same could probably not be said about me =X oh, and those were the bottles of water I bought from a 7/11 shop 5k away from the hotel and almost died carrying those bottles back because I was worried there won’t be enough water but it turned out that there was a sundry shop within 500m of the hotel. total fml moment.

this is the day we went to the zoo, with the girls wearing sunglasses and the guys without. and some of us *coughs* looking very grumpy because we didn’t have enough sleep for days!

 

but it’s okay. that’s why coffee’s invented! and I think this was the shot where the zoo wanted us to go ’show a peace sign!’, ‘now thumbs out!’ and all those stuff you see on zoo posters where their visitors look so happy but in actual fact they haven’t even had the time to go in the zoo to see anything yet. -.-”’

this is where the bunch of them went to take a picture with a real life snake all coiled up around them and the crew cast who performed this sketch. of course i wasn’t there cause I simply can’t stand snakes!

then we just acted silly in a christmas tree but I was a little freaked out cause the floor of the tree was moving and there was like.. 1000 volts of electricity above our heads!

the song of the sea show, whose display was totally awesome! like you must seriously seriously take a mrt from vivo city to sentosa, even if it’s just to watch this show. my personal favourite was when the fire started coming up, although I could literally feel the heat on my face when I wasn’t even sitting near the stage to begin with! 

 

I even had the chance to try this para jump thing in sentosa! okay, fine, it looks scarier than it actually is. it’s rather tame actually and not at all dangerous but it was a new experience, I guess. jyy yee and huei-wen went for the flying fox so if you’re interested in thrills, you should most definitely ask them how it went!

bo yuen and qing lin, who were behind us when we went up the skyride. it was pretty fun actually and we were all busy taking pictures rather than admire the scenery from above wth.

Obviously there were a lot of animals in the zoo but I’m too lazy to upload each and every one of the animal pictures. No regrets in going although I was dead tired the day I got back and slept for nearly twelve hours in a row. Walking in Singapore for 4 days 3 nights is equivalent to my whole year of exercise! Not to mention that I just came back from Thailand the night before at like almost 11pm and left the next day at 9am so I was like a walking zombie at some point in Singapore. Sorry people for having to endure so much from me T__T

A big thank you to my parents for bringing me to Thailand and allowing me to go for this Singapore trip. To Minzy for sending me emails. To the people who called me when I was overseas, sorry for not answering the phone or replying your messages although I doubt any of you would read this post anyway. International roaming is expensive, as I’m sure we’re well aware of especially after we’ve been conned by handphone line companies many a times.  

Today’s Christmas actually. I’ve been saving my post for ages and only managed to finish it today. Merry Christmas everyone!

I kind of feel like emo-ing my new year’s eve away. Not the ‘come let’s go suicide’ type of emo-ing mind you. More like the ‘come let’s talk about the good and bad times of 2009 and let our worries roll by’ type of emo-ing. Somewhere quiet where we can gaze at the stars and talk in peace without fear of people overhearing us and calling 911 thinking we’re some type of psychotic teenager under the influence of drugs -.-”’ We don’t talk drugs!

Sigh, it’s late. Or should I say really early in the morning? I’ll update again some other time. Till then! (;

Random #4?

I’m so proud of Minzy for finally posting something up, regardless of the fact that it’s kept under private. But I guess what she wrote is private, and if you’ll like to read it you’ll have to either ask her for the password or hack into her or my account to read it, although I’m sure we’ll both really appreciate it if you took up the former.

I’m under the editorial board, and we’ve to produce 3 essays… by today! Sigh. Remind me why I love procrastinating so when the consequences are so stressful. To make matters worse, my neighbour is renovating his house! Ugh! They’ve been drilling day in and day out. I’m trying to concentrate to actually write a piece worthy to be printed in the college magazine, but I just can’t concentrate with all the racket going on. I mean sure, it’s okay to write in my blog, seeing as I just write whatever that comes to mind in the spur of a moment, but imagine having to think everything through. I’m so tempted to open the window and scream my head off at those construction workers, but then again, it’s not exactly their fault is it? They’re just trying to earn a decent living, and I’ll rather they be construction workers than burglars any day.

I tried going through my blog to see whether anything I’ve written so far can be sent in. But I don’t think my editorial head will approve if I send in anything I’ve written in my blog so far. I mean, who wants to read about how I flunk my exams or how I thought New Moon sucks? And when I wrote those pieces it was for self-gratification, a way to rant and ramble about how life wasn’t fair or how I thought things could have been better, not for an audience of more than a thousand students.

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA (missing in action, a new word I learn this year) these days. I’m ill you see, so most days are spent at home, staring at the computer or reading some random books here and there.

I know everyone goes on and on about how they thought the holidays could have been so much better and how everyone isn’t exactly blasting with happiness now that the holidays are here. I’m not neither, but I think I’m suddenly contented with life, which means a lot coming from me. I won’t elaborate but I think some of you would get what I mean.

It’s just a matter of the other side of the field is always greener. During the hectic school year, everyone wishes the holidays would come faster but when the holidays are finally here, everyone wants to go back to school. Okay, no, I don’t exactly want to go back to school, but I do think these holidays are a bit dull. But anyway, my bit of the holidays start a little later, so we’ll wait and see before the final verdict of how fun/boring/useless/useful these holidays are for me.

I know I’m suppose to be studying for my SATs, but I just can’t bring myself to. It’s just been a week since my holidays started and I deserve a week filled with no studying for all my hard work, no? But I should get a move on if I want to do well in it, seeing as I only have a month to study till my SATs in January and my mother has made it clear that she will not be paying for me to resit it if I flunk my first one. T__T

Does anyone have any tips for SATs, besides the obvious like ‘Study lah, duh!’, which I’m sure applies to all exams anyway so no need to tell me that. Besides that, any tips at all would be appreciated. (:

In this new modern age, facebook is the root of all evil. Seriously! I’ve been addicted to this game called Kingdoms of Chamelot. It’s this war like game where you build castles and farms and stuff like that to feed your troops and get them to conquer other players. You can even upgrade stuff like mines and sawmills to build your kingdom. The only problem is it takes time to build it up. Can anyone recommend actual games for me that sounds something like this but won’t take me hours to build my camp? Okay, maybe you shouldn’t recommend any games like this to me or I’ll be addicted to yet another game and end up never studying for anything during these holidays!

Okay, this is by Channel. It’s last year’s winter collection, if I’m not mistaken but I’ve been harping over it for ages. Isn’t it pretty? I mean it’s not something I’ll wear for prom or anything, but it’s absolutely perfect for work! I once showed it to Chee Hung I think, and to my utter annoyance, he told me it looks like she’s wrapped in newspaper. -.-”’

I mean seriously, look at the stockings, the perfect fit of the skirt and blazer, the bow tie, the handbag… Okay maybe I don’t fancy the shoes that much but it is a fashion show so I guess she had to overdress a little and make it funkier or something. Even her hair is so pretty! It’s charming, neat and totally polish.

If you’re bored and have nothing to do, you might enjoy this game:

It’s one of those dinner dash type of game except it’s a little different.

One day I’ll tell you my dreams and you’ll be amaze (:

Error in Economics

Okay another horrible experience to pen down! My economics teacher told us we could get our marks by this saturday, because he’s very efficient. And I have to give him credit for it, he is efficient. Anyway, I was debating on whether to ask for my marks or not because if I did do badly, it’ll spoil my whole holidays. But then again, I’ll probably be pressured into studying more. If I did do well, then my holidays will be so much better. I pretty much suck at economics so I wasn’t really hoping to do well in it. But after sitting for the papers I thought it was okay, and could scrap a not too bad score for it.

But alas! Yours truly was in for a big unpleasant surprise!

I smsed my teacher and he smsed me back the marks. It wasn’t good, and I was quite disappointed. Then he suddenly called me, and told me that he has my econs paper with him now. So he went through the paper with me. Well practically, this is how our conversation went:

Me: Is my marks very bad, Sir?
Teacher: Can do better Audrey, can do better.
Me: How yeah Sir why is my marks so bad?
Teacher: Hmm.. I have your paper here with me. Your paper 1 not bad. Can improve in paper 2..
Me: *forgot what I said but I think I was whining or ranting about how heart-broken I was*
Teacher: Ohh.. I see your mistake here. Why yeah Audrey? You drew your indirect tax diagram wrongly. How come you draw the subsidies diagram yeah?
Me: Huhhhh whatttt?
Teacher: Your essay’s not bad. If you didn’t draw diagram wrongly can get 10 marks. But the question said explain with the aid of a diagram. So I had to mark you wrong.
Me: *continues lamenting about how heart-broken I am*

Why why whyyyy?? Why did I draw the wrong diagram?? 10 marks difference, I could have gotten an A! Actually I could have gotten an A with less than half the marks of if I drew the right diagram!!

Went online and ranted to practically all my ex schoolmates and anyone else who would have listened.

Then tse wei cut me halfway and said, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I think it was because I was talking about how the subsidies diagram is suppose to have the consumer’s benefit in the bottom whereas the indirect tax diagram have the consumer’s burden in the top. Okay for those who don’t take econs and have no idea what I mean, this is what I mean:

 

subsidy diagram who’s consumer’s benefit (which is not written here), is suppose to between the bottom and 2nd line.

indirect tax diagram who’s consumer burden is the top shaded area.

They look almost the same right? I mean like, seriously, it’s an honest mistake, that costed me 10 marks! Ugh!! 10 marks. And to make matters worse, because this essay has the highest weightage, I spent ages on it! If I knew I was going to get 0/12 marks for this section, I could have just spent more time on other sections and score there instead!

I’m sorry I’m being so kiasu. But kiasu-ness is my nature. I think almost everyone’s kiasu actually. Who doesn’t like winning anyway? The only difference between others and me is that I’m open to the fact that I’m kiasu and will probably admit it any day whereas there are others who are but won’t admit so. Don’t tell me you sit for your exams just not to get a good score in it.

I want a time machine to go back to the past and fix my mistake! This one particular mistake only because I won’t be me without all the many mistakes I’ve done in the past. Well, the bright side is I’ll never be able to forget how a subsidies and indirect tax diagram looks like, and would probably choose the same question if it ever comes out again, seeing as I can now tell the difference between them.

Okay ranting everything all out is how I deal with stress. Better than over dosing myself with painkillers, jumping down the building or cutting myself up right?

Dearest economics,

one day I will beat you and score an A in you. You can laugh all over my face now, but we’ll see who has the last laugh by the end of next year.

Love,
-audrey-

Rant over. I feel so much better now. *exhales deep breath

New Moon Shopping!

Yayy I’m done with my semester exams. Let’s worry about my results when it’s time to worry about them. But for now, let’s look forward to my long-awaited, and hopefully fun-filled holidays!

To celebrate the occasion, Minzy and I went to watch New Moon (her idea, not mine, seeing as I’m not a big fan of stephanie mayer) and for a dose of shopping! I haven’t realize how near christmas is till I noticed how the shopping malls were filled with christmas decorations.

I wasn’t expecting much from New Moon because I thought Twilight itself (both book and movie) was boring. I think Minzy was more disappointed than me after the movie though. Since we’re in on the subject, to any die-hard twilight fans out there, particularly those of the ’we love jacob’ group, can anyone explain to me what anyone sees in jacob (no idea what’s the actor’s name)? I mean why is everyone gaga over him? He’s just a kid with this latino look for all I can see. No offence of course.

Now we all can wonder about his ‘beauty’. -Inside new moon joke, which you’ll probably understand if you’ve watched new moon as well.

I think the problem with the whole show was that there was no chemistry. Both Bella’s and Edward’s acting fell flat and don’t even get me started with their kissing. They looked like they were forced to kiss. Well, yeah, I know they were forced to kiss for the show but that’s the whole point of acting- they’re suppose to make it look real. Anyone can kiss anyone but to make a kiss real you have to either like the person or act it out, and if they can’t act it out, then what’s the point of becoming an actor/ actress? To make matters worse, because it was a new show, the cinema won’t give us the student rates, which means I had to pay the full price for the show!  *see I told you we should have watched a christmas carol!

Minzy and me, who couldn’t resist taking pictures with the beautiful decorations!

It was nice catching up with Minzy again after all this while. As usual, I complained, while she listened. We went shopping again, and I have to say, I’m quite impressed with Minzy this time. At long last she didn’t feel the need to walk out of a shop after spending just 5 seconds in it. She even managed to stay long enough to buy a shirt! We went in this sort of t-shirt shop and Minzy and I decided to buy a shirt each, just for the fun of it, since it was so cheap anyway. And Minzy’s looking for a huge, bimbo, preferably pink sunglass, so know we know what to get her for her upcoming birthday! :p

Because I am still sick with the flu, I can’t indulge myself with ice-cream! ): What’s the point of celebrating without ice-cream! And chocolates!!

I had tons to write about before I started off writing this post but I can’t remember what I wanted to say now!

SATs in january 2010. Time to hit the books again.

Chemistry in illness

Hello! Okay tomorrow’s my last paper- Maths paper 6 statistics. Let me share my exam experience with you so far, because I don’t want it to fade before I pen it, or in this case, type it down.

Thinking skills was okay I guess. I remembered a witness statement wrongly so I had to redo a few questions. I think I managed, although I could’ve done better. Maths paper 1 I didn’t have enough time. I think the beginning was okay although I didn’t have time to fully think the last question through. Physics was terrible. The questions were so difficult and there wasn’t enough time neither. I had to simply answer a few objective questions and left a few subjective questions blank. I guess the paper was tough, although I think I could’ve studied more.

But nothing beats chemistry.

Chemisty was an utter disaster. I was sick in the morning. It’s not my usual headaches, and I’m well aware that I tend to suffer from bad headaches especially when I’m not in a good mood, and who’s going to be in a good mood when you have exams to sit for? I felt nauseated throughout my paper 1. So much, that I almost vomited on my paper. I quickly asked to go to the toilet and was debating whether I should just vomit it out and feel better later on or to continue feeling as bad. However, if I do vomit it out I’ll feel shaky all over and won’t be able to concentrate on my papers but if I don’t, I’ll continue feeling nauseated. I was stuck in the fork, where I wasn’t ready to face the consequences of both my solutions. To make matters worse, I was suffering from sore throat, running nose, headache and a slight cough. After splashing my face with cold water, I went back to finish up my paper 1, although I was barely aware of what I did. All I could think of was ‘just finish the paper’. I was seriously tempted to forgo the whole thing and just declare myself too sick to continue doing anything, which was exactly how I felt, but I thought that even if I simply guest all 40 questions, there’s a higher chance of me getting a pass than not doing the paper at all.

Chemistry paper 1 was objective you see. While I circled my answers and rubbed off answers which I think I circled wrongly, pencil and eraser dust collected around my paper. I blew the dust away and felt even more nauseated. Finally I just left them there and they managed to smudge my whole answer slip. Because I spent most of my time in the toilet on the verge of vomiting, I didn’t have enough time to think of my answers and simply guessed on a few of the answers.

The invigilator asked me if she could get me anything. I told her I already ate panadols in the morning and I didn’t exactly know what people eat when they feel like vomiting so I told her I was fine and that I should get back to answering my papers.

Paper 2 was almost as bad, although slightly better. The beginning was horrible, where I still felt as nauseated and as bad as ever. I opened the paper and was surprised to find that I actually knew a lot of the answers. I did expect to do okay for chemistry as I studied the most for it compared to all my other subjects but was dismayed that I felt too sick to have done well in it. No one need comfort me on how badly I’ve done, because I know I did badly, and unless you have a time machine where I could reverse time and do it all over again without feeling sick, there is nothing anyone can do anyway.

Halfway through paper 2 I finally went to the toilet and vomited. When I came back I felt slightly better and was even able to focus on the last half an hour of the paper. But because I spend most of my time for the two papers in the toilet feeling sick, I didn’t have much time for both my papers.

I’m terribly disappointed because I know I really could have done better. I thought the chemistry paper was rather easy actually, or easier than what I expected, seeing as I did know where the direction of the questions were going to. I knew which concepts to use for the questions and could have easily scored a not too bad score for it but because of my nauseated state and because I spent so much time in the toilet, I didn’t have the concentration nor the time to do well in it.

So just let me rant and take it all out so I’ll finally be able to focus on tomorrow’s maths paper. I know I’m being extremely long-winded, repeating my complains over and over again, but imagine my disappointment in doing so badly for a paper I knew I could have easily scored. But what’s over is over right? Why bother crying over spilled milk?

C’est la vie, right? (:

Research

I’m going to blog because I’m so angry!

How would you define research?

So you’re given a question: Explain the use of crude oil as a source of both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Wth what are all these weird words? Research doesn’t mean hoping around websites and picking bits and pieces of information from different websites then paraphrasing it and writing it in your report! I don’t even know how crude oil is connected to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Okay forget that, I don’t even know what aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are.

Let’s make a simpler question. Explain the process of making detergent and it’s uses.

As I was saying, research doesn’t mean googling the meaning of detergent, finding it’s process and getting it’s uses then copy-pasting the whole thing into one piece of paper and calling it your own. Research means actually carrying out the whole process right down from the beginning till it’s end and finding out what it’s uses are.

What all these people deem as research is just the 21st century way of plagarism.

You don’t expect me to be able to get hold of crude oil, or to crack alkanes and alkenes, or to combust fuel. It’s like asking me to read a story book then write the same exact story out of it. But this is worse, cause you won’t even give me the story book. What’s the point? I mean seriously, if you’re going to make me copy paste things, then why bother asking me to do anything at all! And it’s not like you make it easy, I can’t find a single bloody thing all day.

And all these information in the websites are useless. 99.99% of what pops out are practically non-usable and would better be off not being posted in the website to begin with. Why is the website so full of junk. Bla bla bla. I practically have to control+find every single website I enter just to see that bit of information that’s related to my work.

That’s research for you.

Computer and Memory Problems!

Sorry everyone for the long hiatus. College has just been so busy! I’ll be going on another long hiatus after this post till after my semester exams, which ends in the beginning of december. Then I’ll only be having 3 weeks of holidays before I have to go back to college boo hoo hoo! But anyway, I’m looking forward to the well needed and hopefully deserved break where I can actually sleep for a minimum of 8 hours each day! :)

I actually thought of something to blog about before my nap but obviously it’s faded into oblivion wth. I can’t remember what it was about! I think it was about some random stuff though, but *cracks head* I can’t remember!

Yayyyy!! I think I’ve finally managed to overcome my computer addiction. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I play online games 24/7 and stuff. I just spend most of my free…. okay fine, it’s time that’s better used studying, online doing nothing.

So my cousin and I were discussing our facebook addiction the other day. Then we whole heartedly agreed to change each other’s password so the other won’t be able to log in and spend much needed sleeping/ studying/ eating/ bathing time on facebook. Last weekend we met up and she asked if she could log in facebook for a while since it’s the weekends anyway. But alas, yours truly forgot her very own cousin’s password which she just made a week ago. She remembered fragments of it though and started playing around with what she remembered.

Lo and behold, facebook thought I was a scam case started asking me to recognize the word thing where you have to write down what letters they put in the box. I don’t know how to describe it but I’m sure we all have encountered that right? After several more unsuccessful attempts, my cousin got so fed up that she told me she’ll just click the icon that says you’ve forgotten your password. I later changed her password again when she’s through checking her facebook account. The next day, she suddenly asked me, ‘do you remember my password?’ I said ‘I think I remember’ and she gave me that scandalized face and went ‘I am very sure I remember your password. How does that sound?’ So I told her ‘I’m 90% sure I remember your new password, I think. Not too bad huh?’ :p See? Audrey cannot be trusted to remember important stuff like people’s password. I did tell her though that it’s a special feature of mine because now that she has to continuously go to the trouble to retrieve a new password from facebook facebook “>everytime she wants to log in and I realize I don’t remember her password again, she’ll feel so fed up doing it over and over again that she’ll abandone facebook altogether, which is the whole point, right? :D

Unfortunately, being not addicted to the computer has it’s cons as well. Because my college is so internet focused, as in we have to constantly check the college website for our homework, slides and events that’s happening in college, I didn’t check it all weekend and only realize an assignment was given today, a monday when it was up since last friday! Ugh! I could’ve done my assignment during the weekends you know! All in the name of trying to cure my addiction to computers! 

Okay I guess that’s all. Unless I have something urgent I want to record down in my blog, I think I’ll only be back by early december.

Till then! :)

P/s: I know it’s exam period for most of us so if you’re reading this go studyyyy!!!

Update! #5?

This is my dearest friend Rebbecca. Unfortunately, I can’t find the camera cable so I can’t upload her picture here. *can someone just buy me a good handphone with a good camera, please?

Rebbecca knows all my deep dark secrets wth. Haha. Nah, I’m just joking. But she does know a lot about me, considering the fact that we’ve known each other since we were six years old, which is more than half my life.

I mean I was six, and she’s seen me going through puberty right up till I was almost 15. We went to the same primary and secondary school you see. We were even in the same class since primary 2! How many embarrassing moments can I hide from someone who has known me that long? But then again, I know lots of stuff about her which she’s probably embarrassed about as well although she’s not a total klutz like me to begin with so I probably have more embarrassing things compared to her.  

She’s always been an overachiever! Yes, she’s a total tomboy but she’s good at sports and managed to get a silver medal for karate in SUKMA the same year she managed to get so many As in SPM. I remembered when we were young she was always out of class because she kept joining all these extra curriculum activities ever since primary school (and winning them) yet managed to get good results. She was also this prefect you see, who’s screamed at me a few times when we were still schooling because I just can’t help but chatter away in class T__T

It was nice catching up on her. And no, she hasn’t changed one bit since we were 6 right up to her appearance!

Last week has been weird. My schedule, as usual, was pretty messed up. Some days I can sleep for less than 5 hours and others I sleep for more than 10 hours. T__T

Ooo.. I totally forgot. It’s halloween today, isn’t it? Happy Halloween everyone! :D

And it’s someone’s birthday too so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! <3

I don’t think people actually celebrate Halloween much in Malaysia, except for those occasional parties in school and stuff. But we don’t go trick or treating do we? When I was young I use to watch all those tv shows where people dress up in fancy costumes and go house by house getting candies and chocolates mmm… So I asked my parents what’ll happen if I start dressing up and going around knocking people’s door asking for treats. I think they told me I’ll get kidnapped and that’ll be the last they’ll see of me. -.-” So much for trick or treating.

I have an addiction for chocolates. They’re my comfort food, you know? I was actually thinking of writing a post about what a person should do when they’re upset. Hahaha. And one of my top 10 things to do would probably be to eat chocolates!

I met up with a lot of people I haven’t seen in ages this week. Besides Rebbecca, I suddenly bump into Joyce in college again after so long and we managed to talk about the good old times. I think when you know a person since young, you tend to have a lot of stories to tell about that person. Joyce was saying, and imitating mind you, my actions of the old and forgotten. Apparently I like to pull her cheeks and use to pull the sleeves of her shirt and go “Joyce aaahhh…. Joyce aaaahhh….” then start whining about something last time. Hahaha, I hope I’ve stopped pulling people’s sleeves or that’ll be just so embarrassing.

dearest Joyce during her last day in college *on a side note, I think I need braces

Joyce has just almost completed her SAM program in Taylors and will be sitting for her exam soon. Then she’ll be off to who knows where to persue her long-lost dream of becoming a doctor.

I also met up with Alina during lunch on her last day of college. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to take a picture. Sigh… why are all my friends leaving :(

Have you ever watched Gossip Girl? I absolutely love Blair Waldorf’s fashion. But one of my favourites would have to be her headbands!

 where can I get one like this? :)

Aren’t they just pretty? I especially love the ones where there are ribbons on the side! And oh my gosh, the colours!

Oo.. facebook has this game called Country Story and Restaurant City which I’m quite addicted to. If any of you guys who are my friends in facebook who haven’t added this games, please do! That’s because the more my friends, the more free stuff I get. In fact, if you’re all out to help me, why not add all the games I play so I’ll get more free stuff! People play dota and COD, I play facebook games.

La di dum dum *taps fingers on the table. What else have I not yet update on?

Ohhh.. me and Minzy are addicted to Disney shows and songs these days. I think she mentioned something about being addicted to Lilo and Stitch while I’m addicted to The Little Mermaid. I even managed to watch the old version of The Little Mermaid (you know, before they started editing it and making it all 3D and artificially bright) in youtube the other day! I prefer the older Disney shows though, compared to the new ones. The plots are more interesting I think. I even think their songs are nicer, but then again, that’s just my opinion. And I prefer watching 2D shows rather than the 3D ones because the 3D ones just make me dizzy, like Finding Nemo.

Lilo and Stitch!

The Little Mermaid

I was rather amaze when I watched back The Little Mermaid. I realize how many things managed to slip pass me when I was young. I guess I didn’t pay much attention to what they really said but rather enjoyed watching the pretty pictures and hearing the angelic songs.

 Okay I guess that’s practically everything I’ve got to update on so far. Till next time then!

 

Malaysian Studies

Technology is the main evil of my life I tell you!

So I had a lan- Malaysian Studies test today. I’m both glad and horrified. Glad that I’m finally done with it and horrified that I didn’t even read through everything and immediately after the exam found out that I’ve already answered two questions wrongly. I think I can pass largely due to the fact that 50% of the marks come from projects and luckily, I did them all, although I’ll be very surprised if I can get anything better than a C. T__T

Anyway, like I was saying, so I had a lan- Malaysian test today. Yesterday was just sooo tiring and even though I know I had like 4/5 more chapters to go through, I fell asleep and woke up at 1am to revise. But instead of studying lan, I went in facebook and spent nearly 4 hours on it. Wth right? Anyway, if that wasn’t bad enough, I fell back asleep at 6am again. Sigh.

Note to self: Never procrastinate again. Log off facebook. Off the computer. Ask someone to change the password and never give it back to me if I lose self control wth.

I’m talking ‘nonsense’ -direct quote from my maths teacher, but I’m too tired to think. I’ve been awake since 1am and it’s 7pm now. I’m super woman wheeeee~

Wth. Sleepy situations tend to make me high but yayyyy I’m done with Malaysian studiessss!! Now all I have to do is moral and I’ll be done with lan!

Ugh btw, I should have studied it in malay. I was reading the questions just now and couldn’t understand what they were talking about in english, maybe because I’ve been studying history in Malay for 5 years and everything. They had this really weird terms which I’m not use to like United Party and Power when what they want to say is Parti Perikatan and Kuasa-kuasa Negara. It was like they were directly translating it from Malay. So anyway, I started reading the Malay version of it but because I revise for it in english and didn’t know how to write the subjectives in Malay because the last time I read my Sejarah text book was almost a year ago before spm, I ended up going through and fro from the malay to the english to the malay version.

Luckily all that’s needed for this exam is a past because it won’t appear in my certificate anyway and all I have to do is get a good enough grade to not have to resit for it or repeat the whole subject for another semester. Hahaha.

Okay I’m sorry this post really sucks but I’m too sleepy to think. Time to sleep yayyy!!
