Whoops!

I am such a newb. Sigh.

 

I got actually got an ‘A’ for my Combined Humanities! J The awesome part about this is the present my teacher gave me.

 

A free movie coupon to watch movies at the Golden Village!

 

How cool is that?! I was ecstatic to get the ticket. Well Wei Cong*he gave me an iPod! because he got himself an iPod touch* got the ticket too. He really did put in a lot of effort I think. After all, I do not think that a person coming from China is able to cope as well in studies as him. Boy, you deserved it! J

 

     Classes were mundane today. During Chemistry, Mr Chan  - the teacher who walks with his mouth open- shuffled our seats. I ended up sitting with Shu Yan, my fellow Malaysian J. He was the one that got the highest score for Physics. Ah, patriotism! Anyway, this time we learned about the periodic table. I didn’t listen to his speech nor did Shu Yan and Wei Cong. Haha! Rebellious as we may be, we did all the work he gave us which was drawing the valence electrons for the first 20 elements in the periodic table. In the end I think my atoms looked like chocolate cookies!

 

     Drama unfolded during Elementary Mathematics class. We unleashed the beast in our teacher, Ms Portia. Due to some ‘good’ students *lets not reveal their name*,  she hurled a serious tantrum at us. Those who did not bring their worksheets, assignments and textbook were ordered to stand at the back of the class. They were fined $2 for each stuff that they didn’t bring. Sigh, I wonder why all the teacher has the urge to fine the students. As a Malaysian, I feel that the amount of fine they impose on us was very hefty. You can’t blame me. Everything here cost double/ 2.4 of Malaysian Ringgit. Back to the drama, she then upturned the student’s table  *the she-hulk* and threw all their papers and folders on the floors. I looked around the class, and I was slightly amused despite the intensity in the atmosphere. Most of the students sitting at their seats were international students, like me. J Call us good students!

 

   Physics was hard for me today. I got confused over the new topic : Current of Electricity. I somehow screwed all the formulas and struggled through the questions. Sigh, during study time, I must revise!

 

I had just got back from school. Ly-en won’t come back until around 5 o’clock. Cannot eat pasta with her. L

 

Ah well, I’ll take a bath now. Till the next post!

 

Countdown: 4 more days!

Exam's Dilemma


First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting for one month.I had important exams. >.<

 

Speaking about exams,I didn't do so well this time round.The syllabus was so different from the Malaysian format!In Malaysia, I can score with flying colours with my eyes closed!That is how hard is it. For English so far.

 

I am in the 3rd class. And the 2nd class only have 5 passes for English!Only 5! Imagine my horror.If the 2nd class did so badly, could we, the students in the 3rd class fare any better?The thought itself is enough to send me into hysterics. *bang head*

 

I really hope I don’t fail my English. It would be the first time.

But after thinking it over again and talking to Bell, I realized that failing wouldn’t be that bad. After all, by failing I would know where to get the motivation to get back up on my feet and try to attain better results. The prospect of failing doesn’t scare me that much now but tell me, who would choose failure over a pass? So I am keeping my fingers crossed *smirk* J

 

For Combined humanities, I have got a B3. L Apparently they have a very different marking scheme. If you don’t score an L4/10 for your 5th paragraph, they wouldn’t bother marking your 6th paragraph which is the conclusion. Sigh. That was 3 long conclusions I wrote. Al for nothing I suppose. What  a waste of hard work! In the end I only got 66 marks.

 

I did pretty well in my Sciences. I got distinction for my Pure Biology and also my combined Sciences; chemistry and physics. To be honest I was feeling quite contented but I intended to score higher marks in the next exam. As for Mathematics, I vow not to do the same careless mistakes that cost me my full marks.==. In Additional Mathematics, I got every question right. The workings were all perfect. Then when I write the answer down in the lower column, I wrote the equal sign with an extra hyphen.

 

So the whole equations which was suppose to be like this

x=2

became

x-2

I am so pissed! But ah well, I shouldn’t care too much on the past. Life should move on. Must set target and raise the bar. J

Outing at Vivo.


Okay, today there was a cluster outing,

And all of us (there are 15 of us in total) decided to watch movie at Vivo City.

Its aim was to celebrate someone’s birthday.

 

I came back from school after extra class of elementary mathematics.

Just as I was about to enter the lift,

Ya Wen and her roomie Syafiqah (sorry if I spelled this wrong!)

Just appeared in front of me. J

“Let’s have lunch!” Ya Wen was at all smiles J J J

Haha. So I agreed and the three of us went to canteen together.

We ate and chatted like nobody’s business before Khairul/ Insan joined us.

I think it must have been an hour or so before we decided to head back to the hostel.

Our discussion topics will be our little black secret *smirks*

 

Me, Thu ( my rommie) and  the perasanted Ly-En decided to go to Vivo earlier to do shopping.

 

The  perasanted  Ly En wore my black jacket which was given to me by my mum.


"Whoi! That's my jacket!"

Thu wore a blue-stripped polo necked shirt matched with a pair of jeans.

I wore a green sleeveless  dress and my new pair of wedges.

Here’s a picture of us.  J

 

We waited for the bus.

We didn’t have anything to do so the most perasanted of all (yeah, that’s you Ly En),

Decided to take photos of our feet / shoes. ==,

Here is it.

 

After around 10 minutes of wait,

The bus finally arrived.

Boy, the ride was bumpy!

It felt like I am on a roller coaster…..

Which with constant bump, made me fell asleep.

Which made the perasanted Ly En  and Thu laughed at me. =.=

 

We reached Vivo around 5 o’clock.

The first shop we entered was a apparel shop called Designed.

The perasanted girl loved the shop.

 Me and Thu just  shook our head.

 

Then we went into a cosmetic shop called ‘Make Up Forever’ or (something like that).

We tested the stuff there.

There was a bright blue mascara, a pink one, a purple one and also some absurdly detailed eyelashes made of dyed feathers.

It’s some make up stuff from the runways I suppose.

Still, imagine five humungous feathers sticking out of your eyes,

And how much energy is wasted just to bat your eyelid.

Energy wastage.

C’mon we should save the world by conserving energy.

 

Wait, I am off the topic. LOL

 

Okay so me and The Perasanted decided to try out some of the cosmetic there.

The Perasanted >.<>

“ Eh, how does this look on me ar?”

I was like “Black?”

But I think she didn’t hear me.

Anyway I tried on the white eyeliner.

I like it but I think the price love me more.

That teeny little pencil cost $41!

We were so quite all of a sudden.

We looked to see the promoter turned her back on us.

*Pink Panther music*

We sneaked out of the shop on our toes.

Yeah like how the cartoon did.

 

Then we went to yet another cosmetic shop.

This time I bought myself a lipgloss.

It sure burnt a hole through my pocket. *teary*

 

We had enough of cosmetic,

So  we went into Topshop to er..

Ogle at the lacy and obscene undergarments?

Lol I am just  kidding.

We’re still innocent  J right right?

 

Anyway there wasn’t any nice hat there so we went to Forever 21.

There was a plethora of hats!

Here is some of the hats we tried out. J


I bought one knitted one anyway.

 

Next up was a visit to Guardian.

The perasan Ly En went to pay money for her product,

While I proposed to Thu. J

 

"Would you marry me?"

ME: Thu, would you marry me? *smiling as sweet as possible*

THU: Okay! *nods head*

 

It was about 6.30 p.m at that time.

We were starting to feel bored.

So we started walking then…

Lo and behold!

There’s the Godiva chocolate shop right in front of us!

( Did I forget to mention that the three of us are chocoholics?)

Temptation empowered us,

So we bought a Chocolate drink which cost $10!


This is Thu and Ly En.

The perasanted Ly En wanted to go to the top floor to look around,

So Thu and I became her stooge and thus,

Began thus journey to the top floor! LOL

The best part,we were greeted by the drizzling rain. ==.

 

We were worried the other’s will not make it,

so we called our Cluster IC and the rest of them had just got on the bus!

Its was about 7.15 pm at that time and the movie was to start at 7.30!

 

The three of us rushed to the cinema and bought 4 large box of popcorns.

Ly En kept popping the popcorns into her widely opened mouth. J

I listened to music on Ly En’s iPod.


Then they finally arrived.

 

We went into the auditorium.

The movie was just about to finish it’s advertisments.

So we just watch the whole movie.

By the way it’s “Brides’ War”.

It’s another Anne Hathaway movie.

I still prefer Get Smart but this is okay I guess.

 

Then me and Ly En took an MRT back to Clementi and took  a bus back  to the hostel.

Upon reaching there,

Wardah, Chang Yoon, Ya Wen and Khairul were storming away with the instruments.

We went back to our room at 11.00p.m.

Oh, it’s such a busy day!


J


Good girl gone bad


This perasan person showing off her fake muscles

Our sexy legs.

We found this billboard while shopping *snickers*





Haha, this pic is okay right?


This is Thu. She's adorable!

 

Gotta go! Bye!

Post- CNY

Today I went back to my hometown in Perak.

We departed at around 12 p.m,

With our car loaded with tons of stuff.

I think the amount of food stored in the car boot,

Is enough to feed us for I think 1 week?

Or perhaps 10 days? LOL

 

Anyway the journey was rather tiring,

As there was traffic jams.

I don’t know if this is normal,

But I think I am experiencing “car sick”.

I feel very dizzy whenever I am in a car.

I think its because in Singapore I rarely sit in a car.

In S’pore, I always walk and take buses and also MRTs to get to places.

So this sensation is a bit new to me.

In fact I find it a bit hilarious,

Because I can’t swallow the fact that I have been traveling in cars for the past 14 years!

And now I am actually resisting it. J

Hehe^^

 

Half way through the journey,

We stopped at the rest houses.

At Tapah, I threw up all the food I consumed during lunch.

Let’s not describe it for appetite reasons.

Then I had ice cream in Baskin Robbins!

I took Mango flavor.

The person at the counter was very nice.

He actually gave us really big scoops! J

 

We proceeded with our trip and we reached around 6 p.m.

There is no 3G here! ==.

 Can you believe it?

My brother was like “This is the first time Celcom actually failed me!”

After unpacking our bags,

I just slumped on the bed and fell asleep.

 

Later we went out for dinner.

I suppose Dad was too hungry,

That he was finding every dish of food that came out of the kitchen “Looks good!”

LOL.

After dinner, we came back to find that one of my cousin’s family is already back.

My little cousin – I don’t know what’s his name (I have too many cousins)-

Came running out shouting “Ultraman!”

What a way to welcome us back.

 

Its’s about 9 p.m now.

My brother’s playing his PS2 again.

Again.

He had already got scolding from Dad for playing before we went out for dinner.

Oh well, its his raging hormones perhaps.

 

I don’t know who else is coming tonight.

But I hope its Bell a.k.a. Ying Zhi.

Missed her a lot! Hehe^^

 

To Jung Min if he’s ever to read this,

I am very frustrated that you found the bomb I planted under your bed.

I was really hoping to blast you and your smart brain into the galaxy.

HAHAHAHA! * evil laughs*

 

Just kidding.

 

I think that’s all for today. Till the next time. Tata!

My pals :)

Today I went to school to check up on my friends.

I called Egan, Indran, and also Aaron.

But nobody picked up his phone! L

I was wondering if this was a coincidence or what..

 

Then I decided to give a call to Tanisha.

She picked up the phone,

And she was like “OMG, is this Gie Eng?”

I told her to meet me at the gate in 2 minutes,

And she was shouting on the other end of the phone.

“Two Minutes?!?!? What the?!”.

I just ended the call and soon enough I reached my alma mater.

It hasn’t change much ( I mean c’mon, its only been about 3 months since I last step in to this place),

Just that I have noticed there have been an increase of student intake this year.

Then Priscilla just rushed out of the main gate,

Hugged me tightly followed by Tanisha,

And Nurissa,

And I don’t know who else. LOL.

 

I met Jayson, Kenji, Jalchin, and also Rishi.

Rishi nearly couldn’t recognize me!

He was like “Eh, why you look so different ar?” J

“You look taller!”

Mind you, he’s shorter than me.

That’s why he noticed my height as the difference.

Yay I grew taller!

Finally someone is telling me I am taller!!!!

I am happy haha..

But I agree with the person who came up with this pharse

 

“ Flattery is like a chewing gum. Enjoy it, but do not eat it”.

 

Hehe^^

The only thing funny is that I didn’t meet the people I wanted to meet.

I didn’t meet Pheeshelaa, Egan, Nigel, Ms Rubini and also Ms Eveonne.

This is so weird, huh?

Egan was apologizing on the phone later in the afternoon.

And apparently Pheeshelaa was helping the teacher.

Egan was on his way to the CC when I was in school,

Nigel didn’t even go to school.

Indran, I don’t even know if he’s still in school.

 

Anyway, later I went to Sunway to buy stuff for my MacBook,

In your face Aaron. Hehe^^

Then I bought a new headphone and a LAN cable.

I have also bought a new pair of shoes.

It’s a pair of wedges. Very comfy and nice.

Perfect.

 

At night my siblings were glued to my laptop again.

This time I let them watch “The Phantom of the Opera”.

Haha^^ this is actually the 4th time I am watching it.

I even know which line is the character was about to sing. LOL.

I am a huge fan of the movie.

Thanks to Wafa, actually.

 

I guess that’s the summary of the day.

 

Ciao!

Home Sweet Home

It has been such a long time since I last blogged.

 

By the way, I have finally reached the soil of Malaysia after a long 5-hour trip.

The trip was pretty comfortable because we were all in a coach.

It has a screen at the back of every head seat.

We can actually watch movies and listen to music on the little screen,

But the songs are a bit outdated and old,

So I watch a movie instead.

It’s called “ She’s the Man”.

 

It’s like the English version of HanaKimi.

But it sure is an entertaining movie.

Though I didn’t manage to finish the movie,

I am planning to get the movie anyway.

 

Then I watched “The Phantom of The Opera”.

Boy, was it a good show!

Everything is quite original, especially the music.

I think the illogic thing about the whole is

Christine looked too intoxicated and she is very easily intoxicated,

Especially when she’s with the guys (Raoul and the Phantom)

LOL.

I am just commenting it on my own opinion.

But perhaps for someone else it’s perfect.

Oh well, the music is still in my mind now.

It’s one of the most memorable melodies I have heard so far.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of musical.

Two thumbs up.

 

By the way in Singapore,

I am staying in a hostel.

The hostel is very cool!

It’s very high tech,

I mean c’mon,

Which boarding school actually needs you to scan fingerprint to enter their premises?

I don’t think you can find a handful.

And one of the best things is that

 

“WE CAN PLAY Wii!!!”

 

Isn’t this cool?

I mean this is like a dream place to be.

I have only boarded for about 3 weeks,

But I felt like I have stayed here for months.

 

I made some great friends here.

One of them is Jung Min.

He’s a Korean and he’s so cheerful (and not to mention chubby)!

I think if I were to give him any nickname,

It would be ‘The Korean Laughing Buddha”

LOL.

 

Then there’s Ya Wen.

She’s a cool, a bit tomboy-ish person.

Well, she’s a Bruneian.

And she is smart.

I wouldn’t mess with her if I were you.

And I personally think she’s an avid fan of Confucius. XP

She’s always “Confucius say ‘ Why…..’” or “Confucius say ‘ you must…’”…..

She’s unique, no doubt.

But she’s very friendly and I am already missing her now.  Ha-ha^^

 

Next up is Chang Yoon.

He’s also another Korean,

About 6 months younger than me,

But he’s already taller than me.

He’s the total opposite of Jung Min, physically,

But not the way they think.

The both of them are very funny!

That day, Chang Yoon slammed the table hard,

And everyone looked at him.

He slammed again,

And looked at his opened palms in awe,

As if he had just discovered a new super-duper power.

Then he said, “Cool!” with his tinge of Korean accent.

 

But he and Jung Min always bully me at night when we play football together.

Every time they kick the ball over the goal post,

They will make me go chase of the ball! T.T

But we really had fun together.

Sometimes my ex- roommate, Wardah, joins us.

Then crappier things happen.

 

I am happy that I met these great friends.

They helped me to settle in faster and easier than I thought.

Thanks a lot!

 

I guess that’s all. I am very tired now.

I think that trip had fed on my energy too much like a parasite.

Ha-ha.

 

Till the next post, Adios!

By the way, I’ll try to post their pictures next time. ^^
