Gasp! That's Right, You're Reading a Fresh Post!

Looking at the archives on the side column, it's obvious that my posting habits have greatly deteriorated... Not that they were so good to begin with, anyway...

I guess I could have easily left this blog until it slowly decomposed into the endless realms of the internet, but I'm in Week 2 of a 2 month long break... so might as well do something somewhat productive. At the same time, I'm doing my usual ignore-in-hopes-that-they-might-just-somehow-magically-disappear for my semester break homework, namely the Bio Field Trip Report and Bio Issue Report.

2 months... I've been rotting my days away here at home... alternating between reading, sleeping, reading, eating, sleeping, Glee, CSI NY, sleeping and more sleeping. Bwahaha, yes, I'm actually watching Glee. What can I say, the performances are pretty good... and Matthew Morrison? Like! =D Story wise... morals are definitely not the top priority on the writers minds... =P

On the bright side, next week I'll be heading back to Subang for RE:UNION 2011, which is definitely going to be awesome.

Semester 2 practically flew past. Honestly, I felt as if we had barely done anything yet, and suddenly it's the semester exams already. Of course, if you took out our long holidays, our 2 years would be the normal 1.5 years.... then at least our relatives won't keep wondering why we're forever in A Levels each time they see us during CNY. (I believe I'm quoting a senior on this...)

And this concludes this random blog post just to keep this blog somewhat alive... Ta-da.

=)

I'm no good with titles. I'm no good with short and sweet stuff. Long-winded, that's what I am. No wonder my answers in exams nearly always go beyond the allocated number of lines, which are actually supposed to be more than enough for the answer. Therefore, when no smart short blog post title comes to mind, an emoticon usually works.

And that's my random paragraph for the day.

Anyhoooo...

Only 3 more weeks til the end of Sem 1. Finally all the Topic Tests are over for the semester. I'm not doing too badly I guess, so far...But, obviously I definitely could do better, studying habits-wise. Then I wouldn't have to be so darn stressed out every time a Topic Test draws near and I realize I have to study late into the night and wake up and study in the wee hours of the morning to prepare for it.

And it's all my own fault because of my usual procrastination. Well, either that, or it's the crazy compulsory co-curricular programmes that end at midnight the night before Bio topic test...

Okay, fine... it is more truthful to connect the last two sentences using the word 'and' instead of 'or'. XP

Results I've obtained so far are not bad. In fact, they're actually miraculously okay despite all the burning of midnight oil. That is, other than failing Physics once already (and praying I don't fail again...). XD

Then of course I take a good look around and see my super hardworking peers with their exercise books filled with pages and pages of notes, thick library textbooks, complete understanding of Physics, etc etc. and I go O.o

They are all both inspiring and intimidating at the same time. Wheeee! The society of scholars... a learning experience in every way. =D

But the biggest lessons of all are always only from one source: He who gets me through the toughest days... He who loves me so much... He who always shows how real He is in my life.

This week has been a particularly horrible week thanks to Physics and Bio Topic Tests (which needless to say, I wasn't the least bit prepared for), English Speech, performance for Malam Ko-PLN, and to top it all off, an annoying flu.

If I never got to know Him better, I would probably have gone completely bonkers with the stress. But thanks to Him, I made it through the week unscathed. Sure, there were moments where I felt so stressed that I just wanted to cry/pull my hair out/burn the Bio textbook/sleep and pretend the Bio test doesn't exist etc. etc. etc.

But then, just the knowledge that He is there is enough for me to keep hanging on and not freaking out completely. Isn't it awesome to know that you never ever have to rely on your strength and skills alone, but instead you can always depend on Him, no matter what your circumstance?

For all the academic things that I have been learning this year, nothing could compare to His lessons.

And for that, I am forever grateful.

So yeah, while I am striving to be a better student, I am also striving to be a better disciple of His. No matter how bad the day, I can still smile because of Him. Wheeeeee!

=)

Through You, I can do anything,
I can do all things,

Cos' it's You who gives me strength,

Nothing is impossible!

-Planetshakers-

P/S: Go Tricia, go! Conquer that Bio report! You can do it!! Muaks! =)

Here We Go Again

Whaddya mean it's only one week left?! O.o

Have I really been stuck in the rotting-into-a-worthless-ball-of-slush-that-merely-takes-up-space phase for a month already? And is it already time to insert some bones and brain back into myself and head back to college? In INTEC no less... home of all the smart-smart scholarship holders whose hardworking-ness and studying habits put mine to shame... gaaaaaaah...

And of course there's the whole issue of leaving the comforts of everything-in-it-SS15-Subang Jaya and trading it for the uh... limited resources Intec campus. Rough it out time! I'm treasuring every precious moment of my air-cond and water heater now. Haha, it's actually funny. In my future dwellings, it's going to be hot when one wants it cold and it's going to be cold when one wants it hot.

But heck,

Regardless of the baju kurung dress codes, the lack of TV and refrigerators, the hot weather and cold showers, the cockroaches and lizards and mosquitoes running free etc. etc, it's going to be a great 2 years! I am proclaiming it, yes-sir-ree!

More often than not, your environment is what you make it out to be. If you think it's gonna suck before you even experience it, it is definitely going to suck. A little positivity goes a long way. Bring it on, baybeh!

But I'm still going to miss sitting around doing nothing =(

Happy New Year

Worst minor illness to me? Food poisoning. When one begins to feel queasy out of nowhere, all one can do is lie down on the bed and pray that the sick, sick feeling goes away.

It doesn't. It gets steadily worse and worse, and worse, and before you know it, it's a mad dash to the bathroom and one lets out a torrential downpour that scares everyone within a one mile radius. Bleh. And this goes on for the rest of the day until one feels completely shriveled and dried out, unable to do anything but lie in bed like a bag of potatoes. (potatoes being one of the top causes of food poisoning...)

What a way to end 2009. Heh. But oh well, it's over and I pray it does not happen again for a long time.... Considering I missed an interview for a leadership program next year because I was too busy puking my guts inside out. Blah. Guess it was meant to be... :P

A new year about to begin! And with it, a new life!

Catherine Willows: Scary thing, sending your kid off to college.
Doc. Robbins: Lindsey looking already?
Catherine: Yeah. We just looked at WLVU last month.
Doc. Robbins: At least she'll be close to home.
Catherine: Trust me. When she's on campus, she might as well be a thousand miles away.

How symbolic that the first CSI episode I should catch after such a long time, I hear this dialogue. I can relate... or rather, my parents can relate. And every other parent whose child is heading off to their next step in their life journey as well.

The days have been filled with the usual mummy-daddy advice, covering every topic from safety to hygiene. Haha. I'm excited, no doubts about it, I can't wait for this new adventure to start, but of course at the same time, I know I'm going to miss home and the comforts it brings. Here I am, stepping off into new territory, no longer going back to CGL where everything's familiar, and everyone knows everybody (almost). It's sad, but everything has it's pros and cons... ups and downs. Carpe Diem!

Happy 2010!

D-Day

Just replace Hobbes' first dialogue with 'Have you started studying yet?'

3 more weeks to go..... Gaaaaaaaaaa........... -plop-

*sigh* Good luck, all fifth formers.

The Case of the Elusive Pendrive

One week ago:
Mum: Hey you. You left your pendrive in your shirt pocket lah... I didn't see it, so it got a thorough washing from the washing machine.

Me: What? *completely surprised, having not even noticed the pendrive was missing in the first place*

Mum: Yalah. I always check your skirt pockets, but not your shirt pockets. Mana tau you keep things inside there and forget to take them out... *hands me the pendrive* Anything important inside or not?? When I shook it, water droplets were still coming out from it... Scared later spoil ledi...

Me: Oh, uh. Nevermind... I have the files saved in my computer.

Mum: Aiyah. Go and dry it and try and see if it can still be used or not... *shoots me a look that seems to say '17 years old nya, forget things so easily ledi... haih...'*

After plugging it into the computer, I found it to be perfectly fine, thank goodness. Plus, it's really clean now.

Today:

Me: *searching high and low* Oh noo... *goes downstairs* Ma, did you by any chance see my pendrive? I think I left it in my shirt pocket again... *sheepish grin*

Mum: Really? Go and check. I didn't wash the clothes yet.

Me: *searches* Don't have wor......

Mum: Where did you last have it?

Me: I KNOW it's not in my KRS shirt pocket because I didn't bring it to school yesterday. So it must be in the white shirt...

Mum: Maybe it dropped somewhere?

Me: Maybe ar.... but I KNOW I didn't bring it to school yesterday... so it must be somewhere around... it's DEFINITELY not in my KRS shirt loh........

*after mum and dad help search around for a while*
Me: Oh well... nevermind. It'll turn up....

Later:
Mum: Oi! I found your pendrive!!

Me: Really?? Great! Where was it??

Mum: In your KRS shirt pocket.

Me: Oh. Oops.

Mum: Keep insisting it's not there summore. Haiyah you...

-----------
Moral of the story?
When your daughter tells you she 'DEFINITELY didn't put it there', ALWAYS check 'there' FIRST!

:P
