Christmas is over, and the new year is approaching. I believe that even though it may seem overrated, with all the commercialism attached to it, it still represents a new beginning. It is the time when students advance another year, when people have new beginnings, when we experience renewal. Isn't the new year a time to make resolutions? A time when we try to change for the better, to improve ourselves.

It is a time of reflection also. As I think back, it amazes me how much I have changed over the years. I am only 17. Still young in some older people's eyes, yet to the young I am old. As I child I thought of how nice it will be to be 17, with all the privileges of that age. Well, it is no different to me. But this year, 2007, has been a turning point. I had finished my secondary education, and was enrolled in the South Australian Matriculation, a pre-U course. Now I have also completed it and got my qualifications. This year is marked with milestones: Learning to drive, traveling on my own, making new friends, enjoying more freedom, studying for myself, and so many more. This year has been full of experiences for me, good and bad. But I enjoyed myself this year. It is something I will cherish when I grow further.

Next year will bring more changes. Friends will grow further apart as we spread out to different colleges, different universities. Families split as we teenagers leave home to further our education. With all this changes, we will definitely change ourselves. But will we manage to keep the memories that link us together, and maintain our relationship as we grow further apart? I certainly hope so.

Once, I thought that being 17 was great. Now, I just realize that it is the threshold to something greater. But it also comes with sacrifices. So, as the new year comes, let us go forward to be who we are, to challenge ourselves, and more importantly, to cherish out time together.

Time really passes by fast. By Tuesday word of the SAM results coming out on Wednesday came out. On Wednesday I snuck off to college, prepared to receive the results of my 7 month education. After that off to shopping with Wei Vern and her siblings for Christmas.

Anyway this is the end of the post, I wish everybody out there

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PROSPERO ANO!

Genting Highlands

This happened a few days ago. Bryan had planned a trip to Genting and called us to go. (Who is us, you wonder? Soon you will find out) Since Bryan wanted to beat any existing traffic jams in the morning we had to leave our homes early in the morning. We reached KL Sentral by 7.15am and met up with Priscilla and Keith there. Then we took the earliest shuttle bus to Genting (which was at 8 am) and then continued our journey up by skyway.

I found out something: Bryan is afraid of heights. Hee hee ^^

Misty after a downpour.

~Steph and Regina~

Hon Fu and Bryan

Having fun are we?

Posiiiinnnnnnnnng!

Priscilla

Round and round and round and round... @.@

Miniature Genting!

Posaaaaaaaaaaaa!

We took the Corkscrew twice, the go-kart and assorted other rides. Although I couldn't bring myself to try the Solero Shot and the Superman - which, in my opinion, would make me ultra-sick. I mean, even the Teacups make me dizzy. And I thought this ride was only for the kids. But Steph and Bryan loved this ride so much that they went 3 times on it!!! Once is enough for me, as it is much much more scarier than the Corkscrew. Seriously.

One thing I hate about Genting - the inflated prices!!! Food up there is like x2 the price of food down here in the lowlands. But the trip itself was enjoyable.

The Genting Experience

We caught the last bus back at 8.30pm. Not that we wanted to, but because all the other earlier buses were fully booked. Well, at least we had the whole bus to ourselves, with all the seats we wanted. We bid goodbye to Priscilla at KL Sentral and went back to Subang by KTM. To round off that night we went to the mamak at USJ 2, where we ate satay and kerepok lekor with cheese. Only arrived home at 12midnight. Whew, what a tiring day~

It's amazing how ignorant of things we can be. I never realized how many things happen in the background; things that we never see and take for granted.Why do I realize this now? Well, actually, I'm working at Taylor's University College. So far it's only been one week, and boy is there alot of things I found out. In one week, we (the student helpers) have done so many things I don't know where to start. We have packed and repacked pamphlets and brochures (like, thousands of it), served parents who seek counseling, packed letters, carried stuff and ran around like mad. It's not an easy job.

Today is Open Day at Taylor's. A very busy day too. Any parent who comes in just see a hall filled with people, and counsellors and student helpers. But we do many things behind the scenes. We make sure the place is kept clean. We make sure there are enough pamphlets in every booth. We make sure parents are attended, and run to find counselors and tables and chairs. We keep watch and conduct campus tours. Basically, we're on our feet the whole day. And so is the lecturers and staff.

Anyway no one will appreciate our work. Well, except those who really know what we went through. It's like this all over the world, no matter who you are and what job you hold. It's a thankless life, and at least it pays.

The weather is like hot hot hot. Every minute I'm out in the sun drains my energy. I am never good in hot weather. I'm the type of person called the 'puteri lilin' - someone who cannot stand the heat. And yet I loved the weather when I came back to Malaysia after my student exchange. Spain was really really cold and to feel the heat again after two months of constant freezing was really nice. Until now.

Ok, actually this afternoon's 'exercise' made me really hate the hot weather. I was shopping with my mom in Giant. From 10am to 3pm we were there. 5 hours! My mom filled two shopping carts full while I ran around getting ingredients for my pasta and lasagna. When we were at the register I had to unload everything in the carts to the conveyor belt and then the packaged stuff back into the carts. Haih. By myself, too, since my mom ran off to do some other stuff. Then I had to unload everything again into the car, and once back home from the car to the house. Very very tiring I tell you.

Nothing much going on. Can't believe that 2 weeks has passed since my finals were over. It feels more like 2 months. So far I've watched 30don and Stardust and went walking around Pyramid. This week I'm going to work a little. The money should be useful for my Christmas shopping. Now I better make up a list.

Ok, this is the updates over the past few days...

Thursday: Dinner at Tony Roma's @ The Curve. Half the class turned up. Later we moved on to Laundry for an after-dinner drink ;P Unfortunately I had to go home before we started drinking. Haih.

The guys

The girls

Today I finally caught Stardust!!!! Woot! It was quite funny. Hilarious at some parts. And sweet at others. Especially the parts with Capt Shakespeare, cruel pirate. Well, supposedly. You have to watch it for yourself.

Great. The last day of the finals, and this have to happen to me. Here I am, miserably sick. Unable to celebrate the end of finals in style. I have a headache that's making me dizzy. I can't seem to focus at all. I feel like retching. And.... I'm having a slight fever. This is so not cool.

I watched 30 Days of Night today. Before my sickness hit me. Sitting there, watching the screen. Thinking how dumb the characters are. How warped the timeline is (Hello, 10 days pass so suddenly, but 3 days takes forever to go through?). It was okay though. Josh Hartnett looks so cute. A little like Tom Cruise though. But really cute. As expected, not much horror. But blood and gore aplenty. But the ending...it was creepy. Bluek. I stumbled out of the cinema, dizzy.

We decided to go TGIF. Unfortunately....the place wasn't open yet. So sad. But good for my wallet though. Even a set meal is at least rm35. But it comes with appetizer, main course, and a scrumptious dessert. Doesn't matter. Tony Roma's is a few hours away. My mind is beset with the images, the taste of food. After I finished my Accounting paper with time to spare I doodled on the scrap paper. The first thing I drew was... a pastry. Oh to sink my teeth into one!

But at least the finals is over. Plenty of time to do things I want. Go on the internet. Watch movies. Play around. Driving practical. Sleep. Read. Oh, the joy~

But wait. No one is free to teman me. Nooooooooooooooooo!

Oh, the horror.

Feeling rather down these days. Haih. And it's not because of my hormones either. Usually I get depressed when the time-of-the-month-thingy arrives, but not this time. Just plain depressed. And over some stupid guy. I think it's true what people say: Love and hate comes together. This is the first time I felt so strongly for someone. I guess only one thing can cure it. Distance. Out of sight, out of mind. That's going to be easy, since college is now over. I'll probably never see him again. Well, at least now I know what those people who write in to agony columns mean about unrequited love. I used to think they were stupid for waiting for someone for years. Wait...they are stupid. Remind me never to follow their way. Pining is dumb.

The finals probably had a hand in making me emo too. The thought of not doing so well in the finals is unthinkable. I badly want those As. Not sure why, though. Maybe it's my kiasu attitude coming up again. Oh well, kiasu-ness is good, as long it's in moderation.

I am a real lazy person. Three whole days to study my Spec Math and yet I didn't. Instead I was reading some new books in my house. Simon the Coldhearted by Georgette Heyer and The Mammoth Book of Science Fiction. Not to mention I went through Blue Castle (L.M. Montgomery) again in one sitting.

So that's how I wasted Wednesday. On Thursday I went to the library. Then came back in the evening and entertained my absent brother's best friend, Timothy. These kids sure grow fast. I used to remember him as a small boy, shorter than me. Now he's taller than me. Sigh. It really makes me feel short.

Thursday night. Cram study. Rushing through the past-year papers, then updating my formula sheet. Ended up having my mom shouting at me "Why never study earlier hah?????"

Anyway now Spec Math is over. And there's one last paper left. Then freedom!!! After the last paper I'm going to do all the things I want. My driving practical, movies with my best friends, gatherings, shopping.... Oh and the class farewell party. That's not to be missed.

This is one jumbled post. If you read until here, congratulations for not losing your patience.

Another week. Another two papers down. Two left to go. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Since my last post, MSU (Mathematical Studies) and ECO (Economics) has came and went. Both were morning papers, requiring stamina, energy, and lots of groaning in order to make it in time for the papers. Being at college by 6.30am is no joke. Especially if for the past 3 nights you have been sleeping at 3am, and then on the night before the paper you try to sleep at midnight.

Anyhow, I feel very bad. I thought I could do my MSU paper. I was confident when I walked into the MPH that I would at least manage an A-grade or a high B-grade. I was still confident as I did my paper. Then, halfway through, while using my GC to complete a statistic question... the GC returned a "ERR: ARCHIVE FULL" message. I frantically went through my GC. Did I have enough memory to operate the calculator? I should have. My GC was fine...until that day. Okayyyy... this I could manage. I erased my calculator's memory (mental note: borrow Jia Yi's later to copy-back the programs), got it working again and continued on. But I wasted too much time and by the time I handed up the paper I didn't manage to finish all the questions.

Same thing happened for ECO. Lack of time, not enough studying. Came out of the MPH with a heavy heart.

Throughout the last hour for these two papers one thing happened. I kept swearing. %^*&^*(&)! In my mind, of course. Lately I seem to be doing that. Not good. I have to kill this habit of mind-swearing.

2 papers left. Specialist Mathematics and Accounting. I feel scared now. The bad experience from the last 3 papers has shaken me. I wish all this was over and done with.

Then I can really play, yeah!!!! Woot!

Ok, concentrate....2 papers left! Cannot enjoy first!

This is boring... Frankly, I dunno what I am doing... Right now I'm in the library, writing this post when I am supposed to be studying. Maths is on Thursday, Economics Tuesday, Specialist Math Friday. Somehow, all my study spirit is all gone. The sight of my Economics notes makes me feel sleepy.

Yesterday was ESL; English as Second Language. 3 hours and 10 minutes of sitting in a cramped room. The listening comprehension was tough, and the format of the extended essay has changed slightly. Please, please, SSABSA, don't play around with our papers...T_T This exam is important to us...

Anyway it's kinda boring in-between papers. I know, I know...it's good that I have plenty of time to study in-between... But frankly, ESL is over, and I've spent one month studying my math. Accounts is last, and my best subject. Econs...hm..well, I need to worry for that. And specialist math as well... aw damn... Can't do anything until my last paper is over... somebody just kill me...

SAM is finally over!!!!!!!

It seems like time has passed by so fast... We started in March, and now 8 months has passed and we are now preparing for finals. Time really flies when you are busy enjoying yourself.... So anyway it's a surprise that most of my classmates came on Friday, the last day... well, except those not expected to come la... And the Economics teacher gave us a surprise!! She baked muffins for the whole class as a good luck wish!! Took plenty of photos for memory... This year is one of the best years I ever had, and my class seriously rocks! Classmates, you're the best!!!

With our lecturers, Ms Yong, Mrs Soh and Mr Woon

My classmates

Today was Lee Su Yen's 17th birthday. Happy Birthday, dear! Finally we're both 17. Some of her friends got up a surprise birthday party for her.... We came early and decorated the place, blowing balloons, putting up streamers. Some of them got the cake(s) and the food. Lye Wan was supposed to hold off Su Yen until noon and then bring her to the ECA office. But they came too early, and we thought that our surprise failed or something. But anyway, we had a great time. Bryan gave a lot of advice and comments, which ended up in Su Yen getting some "marking cream" on her face and a kiss from Sean. Too bad I didn't manage to take many photos, as my phone's camera is really cacat T.T

Patchwork cake

After eating we hanged around. Lye Wan, Ian, Sean and Su Yen played foosball, and then later we played Blockus, some board game. We decided to go play pool, but since Ms Shirley and Mr Albert were out we were the 'caretakers' of the office and so we could not leave. So we cleaned up our mess, and since we had so many balloons and streamers around we decided to decorate the ECA office with it ^.^ After Mr Albert came back we went off to AC for pool, before we went back.

I hate/love the rain. I like it when after a hot day, a drizzle cools down the stifling heat. I like listening to heavy rains when I'm all nice and warm in my house, when I'm on the verge of dozing off. But I don't like it when I have to go out in it.

It's been raining for two days. Heavy rains. Yesterday wasn't too bad. It didn't rain when I went out to lunch, nor when I left college. But when I woke up to the heavy pitter-patter of the rains this morning I almost gave up. I don't want to go to college! I thought to myself. The idea of squishing my way through rain puddles while holding my umbrella, with strong winds blowing, was unattractive at the least. After brushing my teeth, I started to put on my clothes...then took them off and put on my pajamas back. I went back to sleep under the warmth of my comforter.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), the rains stopped by 6.45am. So I dragged myself out of bed again and prepared for college. But of course it rained again when I was in college. Now as I write this it has stopped. Who's gonna bet me that it will rain again tonight?

"So who's going for the Corroboree?" asked Ms Yong. Silence. Then a few hands went up. "WHAT???? SO LITTLE????" she said with shock.

The SAM Corroboree is a prom night organized yearly by a prom committee. It takes place after the end of the SAM Finals in November. Corroboree is an Australian word (and I forgot the meaning of it). Like all classes, my class had the green forms to fill out with the names of the students who wanted to attend. Tickets are at RM100. Well, the sad thing was, no one put down their names for it. So our class didn't manage to even get a table. Some who wanted to go joined their friends in otehr classes, like Kah Ho (we can deduce that he joined his girlfriend) and some of the girls. Ms Yong was really shocked =P She told us that we must be the only class (!) which dont have a table for the prom night. Then she started pointing her finger at us. "Iskandar, you must go. Neal, Nicholas, go. Regina, Jia Yi, Yap Ning, go!" Well, despite her trying to force us, we didn't even sign up. So much for Ms Yong's plea.


A bloodied puppet, on a stool.

"What happened? She thought. The puppet was not merely a puppet, it was a representation of a person. She was determined to find out the murderer.

A sculpture of a human. But only the upper torso remained. The arms had also been broken off. Part of the head was gone. Another representation, the torture of the puppet's murderer.

"You must avenge me. You must." The puppet's murderer said defiantly. She hesitated. This was a murderer, after all. Should a murderer be avenged? She would avenge him. A murder was a murder.

She was in a garden. Searching for the murderer who had killed the sculpture. A man stood beside her. A companion in Her search. She touched the ground lightly. Trying to get an image of where the murderer might be. She knew that when She touched the things related to the murderer She could see the murderer's next step. Suddenly they were surrounded. They were from an organization. They were armed. Run! She shouted, and She and the man ran, escaping from the enemies' deadly fire.

They ran into another garden. She could feel it. The murderer would be coming. Soon. There would be another target. Who? She touched a dead leaf on the ground. An image of a man, the murderer, holding the corpse of his latest victim. She looked up. A beautiful Lady walked through the garden, melancholic. She approached the Lady. "You are the next victim."
"I know."
"Why don't you run?"
"I can't."

She came closer, and suddenly picked up the Lady. Wha- screamed the Lady, but She was already running. The enemies from the organization were here. They surrounded the garden. She ran, carrying the Lady, and crouched behind a pillar. The barrage of fire stopped. She took a deep breath, and ran again. The path She took led out into the open. She ran, praying that the bullets would not hit her. Suddenly a woman in a bulletproof vest came up, holding a gun. No! She thought, but She knew it was too late. She would die, the Lady would die. Then She...

Okay, that was a dream. I don't know how my brain put together such a plot. I was reminded of Ghost Whisperer and some action movies. Weird.

I've been feeling down and depressed the whole week... My emotions were on a rollercoaster. I'll be happy one minute, and then sad and moody the other minute. My thoughts keep swinging from one extreme to another. I need to learn to make up my mind, and to release myself from my wishful thinking. It leads nowhere and destroys my soul.

Today I was in a better mood. Until my mother called, that is. She called in the middle of my Economics class, and of course I couldn't answer. Then after class was over I saw "You have 3 missed calls" message on my hp. I panicked (obviously) and called back. The first thing she said was "Oi my friend told me her daughter got her trial results already. Where is YOURS???" Shit. I never told her my results, first of all because she always thinks that my results are bad (of course it's bad, but actually my results are average). Then I had to tell her my results. Sooner or later I had to anyway, so might as well get over it now.

My second shock came at around 3pm. I attended a briefing on "Under 18 students - how to apply for a visa to study in Aust". After going through a long list on how to apply for a visa (includes getting a health screening, getting and staying with a guardian, blah blah blah) came the shock... Only SOME Unis accept under 18 students. wth? So I cannot study in Aust?

Luckily today I had some entertainment plans to make up for my disappointment. I went with Alyssa/Su Yen and Sean to Pyramid. My first time seeing the brand new, upgraded with new wing Pyramid. Not much really, since most of it is under renovation for the new shops moving in soon. The shops in the new wing were upper-end shops, like Mark and Spencer. Since we arrived too late for the 4.20pm screening of 'I Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" we went to the arcade and played, then had dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. Then we went in to watch IPYCAL. I thought it wouldnt be nice, since some bad reviews came out about it. But it was hilarious. Totally omg-funny. Although some of the jokes are a bit too harsh...But good. And now I feel much better. Thanks, Su Yen and Sean.

Same old, same old. Nothing much to blog about. The only interesting thing happening was that I spend the whole of last week and this week exploring the food shops. So far, I've visited Coffee Cabana, Noodle Station, Lisa Spaghetti, and Tuna Twist. And today I went to Uncle Sing with Mandy, Ee Ann, Su Yen, Lye Wan and Shawn. New friends, new environment.

Hari Raya is coming up! Haha, a 4 day holiday for us students to celebrate. How nice! College is getting boring with all the past-year final exam papers. And the stress of calculating internal marks and praying that we'll do well enough to enter into our desired universities. I hope that when I do enter university I will still keep contact with my friends. This year has been one of the best in my life, with my newfound freedom and new friends and meetings with old friends. And entertainments.

Well, anyway...Selamat Hari Raya to all who celebrates it!

My trials results are 80% out. I think this time my grades did not slide backwards (yet). Makes me scared to think what will come out in the finals.

One month of revision. This is getting boring. Accounts is tedious due to its need for thinking skills and copious amounts of calculation. Economics is boring as tons of essays need to be written. English, mercifully, is not too stressful yet as the lecturer has gotten bored of marking our essays, hence she has not given us any work yet. Mathematics is not too bad, (as I said in my earlier post) I don't need 100% brain power for it. Specialist Maths... is just plain creepy/tiring/agonizing. We have tons of past-year final papers to do, and money to be forked out. The class thinks I'm a bottomless piggy bank, as I keep asking for more and more of their money for photostating. Also, I'm pretty tired of lugging boxes of photostats up 3-4 floors to my class, and then carrying around leftover papers which several morons will always forget to take. (it's heavy, dammit!)

Ok, post-trials and pre-finals stress aside, life is getting pretty boring. Wake up, go to college, go home, hop on to the internet, do my homework, sleep. Repeat countlessly every weekday. Automated bot? Perhaps. Even doing something else other than the above would be exciting enough. Maybe next Friday I should try watching Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. Shouldn't be too bad. (Steph, if you're reading this, and if you're free on Friday afternoon, sms me. Let's go out.)

Can someone recommend me something to do? Besides studying. Maybe a nice, interesting MMORPG, or a really good book. Invitations to do something?

Bang: a cant term. Widely used in group E4, SAM, Taylor's University College. Means to insult or to be insulted.

- Regina's Definition Dictionary

Yes, I got 'banged' today. It's all my fault, really. Mr Munin had told us to bring our common test papers to check our marks. I just plain forgot. Just like the other 80% of the class. So Mr M went around asking the students why they didn't bring. And in typical Mr M fashion he banged them. After that he showed us our total internal assessment marks. He gave a lot of comments, ranging from our poor performance to an analysis of our marks. He peppered his lecture with more shots at several students. When he came to me he said "Regina, what do you think about your class?"

Me: Dunnolah. I dont think. (This response was designed to evade the question, as well as lighten the mood)

Mr M: So you don't think? Tell me, when do you actually think?

Me: I'd have to think to answer that question, right?

Mr M: Yeah. So you dont think during the exams? *sarcastic*

Me: (smiling) Yup! I dont think during the exam. I just do it.

Mr M: What...

Shawn: Aiyoh, like that she must be very smart-lah!

Me: (thinks)*If I was that smart I would've gotten an A for trials*

je vous déteste mais je vous aime

At 7am Friday morning I was pinching myself to stay awake. By 10.10am I was wide awake and grinning happily. Economics by then had just ended. FREEDOM!

So I watched Hairspray.
The dancing and singing were quite cool. Not that the songs were anything to scream about. But the dancing was nice. Sometimes I wish our generation dances. Not hip-hop, but dances like ballroom and american styles.

That is a picture of Edna Turnblad and Tracy Turnblad. Edna is played by John Travolta. No, they didnt just put him especially in a fat suit and women's clothes for this show. Apparently in every Hairspray play Mrs Turnblad is played by a guy. Don't ask me why. When Travolta appeared on-screen I was like "So that's him." But my friend was aghast.

Look at how much Hairspray they need for those hairdo!

Amanda Bynes also acted in this show. Personally, I used to think that she would make a lousy actress or something. But she wasn't too bad in Hairspray. But with her hairdo and her wide eyes she could pass for a barbie doll. And she sucks lollipops during the whole show.

Well, Hairspray wasnt too bad on the whole. Except that it was boring in some parts. But tolerable.

Hairspray pollution! Ackkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

One more paper to go. Economics is the last paper in the whole trials. So that means that the science students end earlier than us business students. It's sad to see that they end earlier... while we suffer another day.

Since today I didn't have any paper, I slept in. What a wonderful feeling!!! You see, despite having holidays and weekends I never really had the chance to sleep in. In the holidays I usually wake up by 6 or 7 am and go to college.... to do my homework. And I'm always up by 7.30am on Saturdays. Sundays are the only time I sleep in, where I wake up by 9am. So even though today I woke up at 7.30am, I really felt happy! Especially since for the past week I had to wake up at 5.30am for my morning trial papers. Anyway, even though there's no trial paper today I went to college. Main idea is to study Economics, but in the end I studied nothing. Haiz.

I met Ee Ann and Ee Wei in the library today. They had just finished their last paper, Physics. I let Ee Ann listen to a song by Weird Al, Don't Download This Song. She cracked up at it and listened to a few more songs by him. Then she said "Hey! He has a good voice! Is he cute?"
Me: Why?
Ee Ann: Because if he is then I'll like him
Me: I dunno. But what if he turns out to be a fat, short guy, with pimples over his face and is a person who digs his nose in public?
The ever optimistic Ee Ann didn't even hear me. "I'm sure he's not so bad lah."
So anyway being highly curious she immediately logged on to a computer and searched up his pictures.
Me: So how does he look?
Ee Ann: Cheh. Not cute also.
Me: Told ya he could be fat and short.
Ee Ann: It's not that lah. In his pictures he poses as things like pirates. Oh well, he writes all those crazy kind of songs, so no wonder he's a bit crazy as well.
Me: Haha. Who knows? Maybe he's actually in an asylum, writing all these songs from there.
Ee Wei: Haha. Very true.
But anyway Ee Ann still want his songs.

Well, people, wish me luck for my final paper.

Gwaaaaa!!!!

Trials is killing me. My Accounting paper sucks, and to top it up, tomorrow is Specialist Math. I am sooo not ready for it... Somebody please kill me!

Zomg, Friday...please come fast fast fast!!!

My perfect lover doesn't have to look good, or have tons of money. Just as long as I like him. And if he's not funny, or interesting, goodbye. I hate being bored the most =P

Phew! One down, four more to go. What am I talking about? Well, SAM Trials have arrived. The trials are important for us, mostly because a chunk of our internal marks are from the trials. Just thinking of the trials make me nauseous. I havent really been studying for it, so now I'm praying hard that I dont do too badly for it.

MPH is the biggest and coldest exam venue around. However, even though I stole my bro's thick jacket for today I didn't even wear it. I suppose it's because I dont feel very cold. But when our mentor (also the head of the Math dept.) announced that there was 10mins left I started to feel very, very cold. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. Is it nerves, or something else? Or maybe because my mind had flown away during the exam it ignored the fact that my body was cold the previous 3 hours? Yes, my mind do wander a lot during exams. Basically, I do my exam papers with half a brain while the other half dreams away. Almost as if a part of me is detached during the exam.

A new lesson in Math, Rotational Motion, that made our heads go round. Learned a new equation, which when keyed into the GC gives us ellipses and circles. Being bored with the lesson, I played around and got...this....

Who says you cant do art with math?

Camwhoring for no reason at all =P

This is just so cute >.<

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Neglected my blog. Not that it matters anyway, since there doesn't seem to be many readers :P

Today I sat for the mock math exam. Not compulsory, but went anyway to gauge myself. My class was assigned to the MPH. It was freaking cold. Imagine sitting in the same chair for 3 hours straight, with a small table to work on in a very cold room. But now I know what to expect for the trials....
1. Must eat breakfast!!! Breakfast provides energy to last 3 hours in an arctic room.
2. Wake up early! If not sure will miss the morning exams which start at 7 am.
3. Wear a thicker jacket. Next time I'll bring my super-thick jacket which I wore to stave off the cold in Europe.
4. Prepare the formula sheets. Especially important since I'm taking not one, but 2 math subjects. Without the formula sheets, my mid-year Specialist Maths would have been a disaster...

I managed to get my hands on the piano scores for the songs in Secret. Right now I'm attempting to play Secret. Luckily the score is not too hard. I still can't play songs with more than 3 sharps or flats. I managed to get the hang of the hand crossover (where the left hand goes over the right, if you saw Jay play Secret in the movie you would know what I mean).

Hairspray came out in cinemas just recently. I really want to watch it!!!! Besides having John Travolta as a mother, it's a musical. I always had a weak spot for musicals~ Hopefully TGV will continue screening it until I can watch it...

Okay...this is one of those 'tag' things, except that I didn't get tagged. But it loked interesting, so I thought I might as well do it ... with some modifications, of course =P

Celebrating with family is quite fun, especially so if it's with my cousins. I went back to my hometown over the weekend to celebrate my birthday with my cousins and the rest of my family. This time round though, I celebrated with...birthday boy Alex!!! Happy 20th Birthday, Alex!

After arguing who should cut the cake...

When me and Helena tried to feed each other...

10 YEARS AGO....

Can you spot me in the picture? XP

NOW....

How much 10 years has changed us!!!

To celebrate... my parents brought me to TGI Friday's on Merdeka day!!!!! I haven't been there since I was a small kid... We had the set meals from TGI Friday's.

Chicken Parmesan Tortilla

Ultimate Margharita - complete with alcohol!!! =3

The waiters are dressed in traditional clothes. This waiter has at least 7 flags in his songkok!!!

There was dessert as well, but unfortunately before I could snap photos of it it was already under attack! We had Cookies n' Cream and a Mocha Pie. Delicious! :P

Then to end Merdeka Day... I did something illegal! haha... and while I was doing it... a police patrol car came! I nearly panicked!!! But luckily they didn't notice anything! LOL

So today is really my birthday. I can't believe how fast 17 years has gone by. I still remember being a small toddler in tadika. Haiz...how fast time goes by! Hard to believe that I'm now in college, a 17-year-old girl, finally a class rep, and still stinking in her studies.

I finally saw Secret today! It is good...but I wouldn't go so far to say I cried while watching it. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but I really enjoyed hearing the music throughout the movie. It makes me feel that I should have been more diligent in playing the piano...

I'm celebrating again tomorrow in my hometown... Together with my cousins and other family members. To Jia Yi and Kenny, thanks for treating me! To all those who wished me a Happy Birthday, thank you for remembering! :D

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!!!!

and tomorrow... MY 17TH BIRTHDAY!!!

Merdeka eve!

Today Taylor's had a flag-raising ceremony. All the students attended it. We were given flags which we waved while singing patriotic songs. It was quite fun, seeing the students enjoy themselves.

Traditional clothes to celebrate!!! =3

Many thanks to Jia Yi!!!! She treated me at Peppercorn Cafe for my birthday =D She's really nice... when she's not evil...heheheh

Bad luck today!!! My favorite pair of platform shoes spoiled!!! Argh!! I really, really heart those shoes! It's not branded and it's pretty cheap, but I liked the design and the extra height it gave me. So I went to the cobbler opposite Taylor's (he's next to 7-11, which is a blessing, since my shoes totally gave way when I reached him). At first only one of the shoes was spoiled, but then he pointed out that the other is almost spoiled as well!!! But he managed to fix it, although I don't think the shoes will last any longer. *sob* My favourite shoes!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

The worse thing that could happen to females is...when they lack money!!! I went to Taipan to buy some wire, and then I went into the clothes boutique to look at the latest fashions. A pretty green blouse caught my eye. Unfortunately.... I brought too little money! So I could only look at it...

Tomorrow is Malaysia's 50th Merdeka celebrations! And then, on Saturday... my 17th birthday!!! Woohoo!!!

1. End of SAM holidays.
Sometimes I think having holidays is more boring than not having holidays. You don't get to see many of your friends and you have wayyy too much time to waste.

2. Just finished reading all the 7 Hercule Poirot anthologies in the library.

3. Embarking on a new project that will endanger lives :P


Merdeka is around the corner. I will blog on it soon.

Because I don't want to start a new post, I'll just update this one.

Today (Friday) I went out for lunch with the choir's ex-president of 2004. She happens to be back from US on her summer break. So we went to eat at Old Town Kopitiam and talked all about our ex-choir days. How much difference between then and now! We also talked about our parents - mothers, to be exact. Our mothers are so similar! Asking us the same questions whenever we want to go out, and making up silly hypotheses. No wonder her mom and mine are friends =.="

After that I went to her house and watched Grease. No, not Grease starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, but the Grease performed by our school choir of which we were ex-members of. It sucked badly. Wasted my RM15 to buy it. The acting was so fake. Only good things about it was the male lead, who is a cute guy, and some of the cast who had strong voices and sang beautifully.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Blah. Another day spent at the library.

Every Thursday my lunch break is at 10am. When I first had this schedule my whole body rebelled. Imagine, one day out of five college days, I eat lunch so early in the day. On other days my lunch breaks are usually around noon and college usually ends 3 hours later. So on Thursdays 2-3 hours after lunch my body's timer tells me it's time evening, when in reality it's just 1 o' clock. Ended up I'll feel very tired on Thursday afternoons. However after months of this 'morning lunch' I don't feel this side-effect any more. On the other hand.... my body's tells me that i'm hungry at 11! Geez....

Since my stomach was screaming for food, I left my studies to look for lunch. Before that I borrowed a new book from the library. The Underdog and Other Stories by Agatha Christie. I was so engrossed in the book while eating that I failed to realise....that it was raining!!!! I had to run from Success back to Taylor's, and of course I got wet. Sheesh. I thought that the rain would stop by 2pm at least, but it didn't. It continued to drizzle on me as I waited for the bus. And the bus took so long to arrive somemore. Haiz.

Ratatouille is a French stew. It is also the name of a movie about a wannabe rat chef. I think teh best part about the movie is the animation. It was so nicely done, and all the small little details are included. The texture of the baguette, the architecture style of the old city of Paris, the lighting... it was all so amazing! Pixar is definitely one of the top animation studios around. There was some little details inserted in too. Like the food critic's full name: Anton Ego. (Ego for his attitude?) Or that Anton Ego's room....is shaped like a coffin. Dark like one, too. And the parody of Colonel Kentucky (fried chicken, anyone?). Ratatouille is more of a comedy, but I found myself shedding a few tears near the end. No, not because I had to pay rm5 for the ticket, but because.... I think I will leave you to find out for yourself.

I'm soo jealous!!!! So many people have seen Secret and said many good things about the show... I want to watch it as well! But no one wants to accompany me T.T Everyone seems so busy even though for some of us it's a holiday week right now. I haven't seen mot of my friends this week. Most of my classmates have went back to their hometown, and the rest of my friends are busy. It's just so boring....

Evan Almighty has just came out last week, the same time as Secret. I heard it's funny, but I'll reserve my opinions for when I actually see it. Last year I saw Bruce Almighty, the prequel to Evan Almighty. It wasn't really that funny (or I have high standards) but it was okay. At least the Malaysian censor board didn't decide to cut any scenes or to ban the movie.

Just to make this post seem long...I have put up the lyrics for Suki? Kirai? Suki!!! (Love? Hate? Love!) by Kugimiya Rie. This song is the Ending Song for Zero's Familiar: The Two Knights. This song is quite funny, because it's so contradictory....LOL

Be right here! Close to me
Always, always look at me at all times
You looked away, didn’t you?
At other girls
I’ll punish those who are wavering and insolent
Don’t touch! Because I won’t listen to excuses
Touch me…because I’m tired… Hey, lend me your shoulder

chorus:
I love you, it’s a lie
I hate you, that’s a lie, too
Nay nay nay, it’s useless, it’s a misunderstanding
So I won’t say, “I love you”
Non Non Non, because I absolutely won’t forgive you
If you go to somewhere else

But the truth is, I want to be by your side more than anyone else
Let’s go take a walk in chains of love!
Listen up! To what I say
I finally explode; who? Who? Did you get close to?!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in love with you
But I’m worried; why? Why? Even though it’s nothing

Don’t kiss! Because I won’t KISS you again
Kiss me… A non-ritual KISS… What does it taste like?

[chorus]

Yeah the truth is, because you’re more precious to me than anyone else
Endure the whip of love!

Don’t touch! Because I won’t listen to excuses
Touch me… When it’s tough…hold my hand tightly

[chorus]

Yeah I don’t want to be apart from you even for just a second
Follow the laws of love!

I am bored.

My holiday plans are boring.

It's so boring that I've reverted back to my old hobby, reading.

I hate holidays. My mother thinks holidays are the best time to study, and even though she's right it means that I can't use the internet as much as I like. Not that the internet is very interesting anyway, but I need to leave it on to download manga and anime,which takes time. Since my house is not a totally conducive environment for studying my plan is to go to the library and to study.

This past month I've been reading Agatha Christie. A good writer of murder stories, although sometimes I detect a similiarity in her stories. I particularly like her short stories. I've read The Harlequin Tea Set and The Labors of Hercules. Right now I'm going through Murder in the Mews. I don't know why, but some of the best stories I've read are of the science-fiction type. Back in Form Four I learned to love short sci-fiction stories by renowed authors like Eric Frank Russell, James Schmitz, Andre Norton and many more. But now that I've read through most of their works there's not much interesting sci-fiction to read anymore.

A really good read is the tales of fictitious China by Barry Hughart. The main characters are not flawless - Li Kao, the old and wise private investigator, introduces himself as "My name is Kao, my surname Li, and I have a flaw". Number Ten Ox, his helper, is stereotyped - brawny, with not much brains. But the books are interesting, with a slight tinge of the creepy and mysterious. In one book both of them killed a henchman called Snake, and then to get rid of the evidence they brought his corpse to the kitchen and made a ten-course dinner out of him. The description of the cooking is funny - "Shall we do his brains in the traditional turnip sauce, or would you prefer oyster broth?" A good read.

Crap. Been emo-ing this past week. Mom is not satisfied with my semester results. I've been lectured non-stop for the past 5 days. Not to mention that she'll start calling all her cronies then come back to me saying so-and-so's daughter/son/nephew/cousin got very good results, went to a ultra-good uni, why can't you do the same because they can, how are you going to go to uni like this, SAM March intake is hard so why are you not studying hard blah blah blah. Sometimes I get so angry that I can't move and my brain freezes up. Of course it's all my fault - everything is. I've been blamed for every single thing that breaks in the house, everything that happens. Sometimes I feel like letting it all out and cry and scream at the world. But like everyone else I keep it in. Waiting for the day when my time will come. When I can just be myself - and nobody can anything about it.

with my group members

/end tutorial

zomg my results reached my house today. Jia Yi also got hers as well, and then she called me.

JY: OMG the results arrived!!!! Did yours came????
Reg: Duh. My house is just 1km away from yours.
JY: No!!!! Intercept it! Hide it!
Reg: *lol*

My dad was really understanding... he always is anyway. He didn't mind my not-so-good results considering that I did better than average this time. I doubt my mom would be so forgiving. I mean, last sem she saw the C on my report and blew her top. Now with 2 Cs, what will she say??

The Statistics project is really bad. Even with three brains and one no-brainer working on it we can't get the answers to the questions. Even our much-vaunted RM460 GCs are useless without our knowledge.

Mr Woon waltzed into class today, proclaiming that we would do something fun. That 'something fun' turned out to be today's lesson, Bezier curves. The equation for it is ridiculously long. Thank god we won't have to prove it. Just writing out the unsimplified equation can take up 1/8 of a page. Well anyway at least now we can draw 'ears' on our calculators :P

Mr Woon-alicious (and his trademark mole!)

I hereby crown Statistics as the worse paper I ever sat for. How could I forgot everything I just learned 3 hours ago????

Really bad presentation. Forgot to study for it until like 10 minutes before it started. Add that, plus a cold room and you get one nervous girl who stutters and can't speak.

Me and Yi Mun before the presentation

Yes!

I didn't fail Sem2!!! *Kisses the ground*

Tutorial is on today. My group is not due until Wed/Thurs. The girls look so cute in their formal wear! >.< and the guys look hot!

Sunday.
A cool day, with wind blowing through.
My mathematics, left abandoned on the table, whilst I dream the time away.
The piano, desolate, without its' player.
The mysterious strains of a song going through my mind.

I dream
of my love
and my hopes
my dreams
Lost in a world
beyond this world

Somehow I feel too lazy to do my work today. Time seems to move slowly, and Monday seems far, far away. I can't concentrate. I feel languid. I feel as though I'm here and yet not here.

I think of the future. It seems so distant, so far away. Who knows what will happen in the future? I feel uncertain. All my life, I have always known what I will do. Enter primary school. Continue to secondary. Enter Taylor's/Sunway. Now my life's paths are open for me to choose. Which university? What do I want to become? What do I want to achieve? What will become of me in the future?

After thinking back (and thinking of the Aussie unis' entry requirements) I feel so useless. How do I achieve a TER of 85? Or 90? My grades are not outstanding, nor even good. All that I've achieved are not because of my hardworking skills, but do to my mother's constant nagging. Sometimes I feel so sad to be called 'smart' and 'hardworking', when I am neither. It hurts to be called 'responsible', when in truth I'm not. Many people call me mature. In a way, I feel so sad hearing this. I just want to be a child again, to count on others. I don't think I was ever fully a child. Even as a small girl I would be the one protecting others, helping them. As a PTS student I lost a part of my childhood. Instead of slowing growing up I had to grow fast, learn fast, in order to catch up with my older classmates. Just because I passed a stupid paper in Standard 3 makes people think that I am a bright student, and so I had to work hard to fulfill their expectations.

But I have friends that support me. The people who changed my life, influenced me. Helena, my dear cousin, my confidante. Vivian, a friend who understands. Steph, who cheers me up. The guys, who make me laugh with their jokes. My host family, who were kind enough to host me despite it being last-minute. The friends I made in Spain, who helped me over language difficulties and my ignorance. My classmates, who are more caring than imagined.

Perhaps I shouldn't be scared of the future. Shouldn't be too scared that I will fall. Because somehow, there will be people helping me to get back up. Thank you all, for everything.

My life is so packed. This week there was the Moral presentations by E4 and E5. Then the Creative Writing exam for English. Then it was the deadline for the Moral project to be handed up. Haiz. And then next week there's the English tutorial and more exams. Life as a SAM student is very hard, more so if you're in the March Intake. After several days of reminding our Spec Maths lecturer that we have 4 bloody weeks left to cover the last 5 chapters he finally realised the seriousness of the situation. I don't think we have the time now to finish the chapters and REVISE for trials.

So we have MYOB Accounting exam today. The class was in jitters over how to key in certain entries for Depreciation and Amortisation. The test started at 2.15pm, and we had until 4pm to finish the test. Due to my desperation-for-movies-syndrome I kept telling myself "Reg, you must finish fast. You must finish before 3.30pm so that you can catch the bus to Pyramid". So came about my fastest record for doing MYOB Accounting: 1 HOUR. Finished at 3.15pm, printed my work and high-tailed out of there way before any of my classmates even finished. Bay was going to watch Rush Hour 3 at 3.20 pm, but somehow because of certain factors *ahemtingyuahemtgvahem* me and Kein Yip didn't watch the movie. So we decided to watch Die Hard 4.0, but sadly the only screening was at 11.25pm. In the end watched The Invisible. I think by the end of it I wanted the movie to be invisible as well. Americans just destroy any movies they remade. Just look at The Ring. Anyway I bet the original Swedish version of The Invisible was way better. Europeans make very sad, touching movies on life. I remember watching L'enfants, a French movie on a flight once and I cried. It was about a boy and a girl who when small kept challenging each other until they grew up. They were best friends and yet rivals. It wasn't until they were married to other people that they realised they love each other.

Today in Moral class E5 showed their movie. Kenny, congratulations on the good editing you did. It was a very good movie for an amateur :P I will forever remember Gerard and Lim as the gay couple, playing hide-and-seek and dancing around trees. And the part where they were doing *something* behind the wall. OMG, it was more gay than my class' presentation. You have to watch it to really understand what I said. And then you will laugh like I did :D

Changed my layout. The last one had too much green in it, and I was bored by the layout anyway. Also changed the picture at the top, as the old picture was just so not me anymore.
Anyway to cut it short this blog has been changed to reflect the new me, different from the me that started this blog 4 months ago. Not that I changed a lot anyway...

Most of my mid-year marks are out, and while the marks are not too good it's what I expected anyway. I'm just waiting for my Specialist Math marks and English marks now. I'm definitely not telling my mother any of this marks until the day I have to. Jia Yi predicts that when the 2nd semester marks arrive at my house there would be another tombstone in this blog :D

Taylor's Placement day is this Saturday. I looking forward to it. Reps from many Aussie Unis will be there, and my mom has been bugging me to send in my apps. At least she no longer harbour dreams for me to enter Cambridge, Oxford, or Melbourne. As for me, with my bad results, I just hope a good uni will accept me. I don't wanna be a road sweeper!

Also on this Saturday is the Merdeka Treasure Hunt. Entry is RM60 for a team of 2. Apparently the contestants will be going around Subang and KL. Public transportation only, and money will be given for that. I do so hope to enter for fun, but who would be my partner??? RM30 is a lot of money, and many people are just too lazy to step out of their house to join in. Besides, trials are coming soon, no matter how hard I try to forget. Taylor's is already entering the exam season.

Moral presentation tomorrow, MYOB test Friday, Math mini-project Monday (we're supposed to monitor garbage =.="), Math Common Test Wednesday, LAN finals Thursday. Lean See's asking for help in Statistics, which is totally useless as my knowledge of statistics is very bad. I just keep misinterpreting the damn questions. Oh well...

My house don't have cable TV (Astro) so I rarely watch TV nowadays. However yesterday I took time to watch Turn Left, Turn Right, a Chinese movie starring the hot Takeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Leung. It was a story of 2 students who once met 13 years ago. They met again in the present and exchanged phone numbers. However, both got stuck in the rain and the numbers were washed out. Since they don't have the numbers anymore they waited patiently for the other to call, not knowing that they just live NEXT DOOR to each other. Throw in one crazy takeaway girl from the local fast-food store and a maniac doctor and you have a comedy yet sad love story.

I have the typical problem experienced by teenagers-in-love worldwide: I'm too scared to confess. So my mind's been in limbo for months now, over the should-I-should-I-not question. I even repeat to myself everyday reasons why I should not confess during the time I was depressed. However now I'm not depressed anymore, yet not fully normal yet. I'm still waiting for this crush to fade out of my mind.

My mid-year and semester 1 1/2 marks are still coming in. It's worse than last semester's marks. If my mom had freaked out over last semester's mark, she would go totally crazy over this. I'm never gonna have any peace for the next 3 months =(

Moral exam 3 on Wednesday, Moral presentation Thursday, Accounting exam Friday. Stupid MYOB aka Accounting software. Looks easy but is complicated. One mistake and can fail already. You either know how to use it; or you don't. But I feel really, really happy to help my classmates with their input. At least I can do something useful and beneficial. And they wont fail this exam. I hope. We need this marks!!!!

Almost forgot it is already AUGUST... 3 months to the SAM exam, 2 months to trial, 1 month to Hari Merdeka and my birthday. Oh yeah. my calender is totally packed :(

Yesterday we my class entered the lecture theater for Moral we saw... A CONDOM BOX. First thing that came into our minds was... WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING WITH CONDOMS??? Hello, you just don't simply see condom boxes lying around, especially not in school/college... Then my loco classmates play with it lah. One of my classmates told me that the condoms are the Glow-In-The-Dark variety... based on the picture of the Halloween pumpkin on the box. Sheesh. It wasn't until later Kein Yip told me it was for an AIDS presentation...

Today my LAN teacher went off happily to Penang. Taylors organised a staff trip to Penang. Sadly none of my teachers went. When Mrs Soh, our Econs teacher came in, I asked "Teacher teacher, why never go to Penang?"

Mrs Soh: I'm from Penang. I don't have to go there, I can become their tour guide already.

Later Lean See told me, "Wah teacher's english so good one. Somemore come from Penang..." Then Jia Yi said "Hahah if not sure she cannot find job d mah!"

Since dear Sharifah our LAN teacher didn't come our class practised for next week's sketch. E3 did some sketch on bullying already, E5 is preparing their movie. And so E4, with all its crazy and perverted students decided to do...

SEPET meets BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Well, to tell the truth, we decided to do Sepet. But when we started casting, we ended up casting 2 GUYS as Jason the vcd peddler and Orked the Malay girl/guy. I cant wait to see Sharifah's face when we present it!! ^.^

Extra Accounts class today for MYOB. I wanted to skip, but then the teacher sure will notice I'm missing. So in the end, resigned to my fate, I went for it. 2-4pm in the computer lab, typing furiously into the computer. Finished in one hour. Then taught the girl sitting next to me how to key in her data. Haiz. If I know I could finish the stupid accounts in one hour I would have been able to run off and watch movie. Sadly I was too late. Bloody. And tomorrow still got extra Accounts class, but this time we jump to Bank Recon and continue MYOB later. Gah! Annoying annoying annoying....

We learned something new in English today: Journal for Creative Writing. For the CW component journal is another way of being 'creative'. Sadly, I'm not a creative person. The narrative I wrote on a gangster for CW totally sucks. The teacher commented that it sounded like I plagiarized it from 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' series. Thing is, I don't even read Chicken Soup!

So for our class work Pn Zaidah, our English teacher had us listen to Black-Eyed Peas' Where is the Love? since she was already bored of our last class works (watching Bend It Like Beckham, reading Samphire and Lamb To The Slaughter and the songs Luca by Suzanne and 18 & Life by Skid Row). After listening to the music and seeing the music video of it she told us to write a journal based on the song's message.

I based my journal on 'war'. And then I decided to take on the persona of a...7 year old kid.



So for the last hour of my college day I was thinking like a 7 year old. So much that I acted like a childish, annoying girl until I snapped out of it. Phew...
