Life is a gamble.

If you don't take any risks, you won't get anything.

Global Warming

An Incovenient Truth by Al Gore - a truly eye-opening video about global warming.
I know everyone groans and moans and roll their eyes at the thought of watching yet another global warming video, but this one really tops the charts.
A serious, morally and ethically considered video about global warming and its effects backed valid and thorough scientific research over the past few decades, with some information spanning the last century or so.
A recommended watch or read although I haven't yet read the book, but I feel as though the movie gives quite an impact on its own.
Who knows, it could open our eyes to the real truth that everyone wants to deny because no one really wants to do anything about it.

Plants are dying. Forests are dying. Animals are dying. People are dying. The Earth is dying.
So what are YOU going to do about it?

It's 7.37pm and it has been 27 minutes since prep started and I am soo lazy to do my English Language essay. :X
Did I mention I've been counting clauses for the past one hour? SIGH.
I can't believe that the last time I blogged, I was still in AS.
A2 is so freaking stressful, I'm so not kidding. :(
Interviews, offers, rejections, open days, it's like every day is a battle of wills to not check your emails every second of the day.
I've had this gradual realization since coming to Concord.
That I am actually really dumb :(
So to make up for my stupidity, I need to study real damn hard :'(
I won't blog again anytime soon after this post.
I need to bury myself in books and finish that 647 page Chemistry textbook AND swallow the damn thing whole.
I've been feeling the beginnings of a winter cold, shaking in my shoes everytime I leave my dorm so I assume all these signs point to the fact that it's practically winter.

If anyone ever gets the chance to go to the UK, I'd highly recommend them to try visiting Manchester.
I like it even more than London!
Do drop by if anyone ever comes.
It's a lovely place. :)

Post AS

Okay, first day back to school after exams.

We just finished our AS exams yesterday fyi.

Except for the 6.1 Double Mathematicians, who are withering in jealousy at the rest of us who are done with our exams ;) sorry guys =D

Everyone looks so dead today hahah

Can you believe we already started next year's syllabus?

We're almost done with C3 Chapter 1 == [as you probably can guess, Mrs Jesshope's teaching us C3 and that's how we're zooming through it]

Doing C4 Chapter 1 with Mr Harding

Statistics in Biology with Mrs Marsh

Watching anatomy videos with Dr Braybrook / we might start benzene rings next week =]

Looking through poetry analysis terminology with Mr Woods

Started Economics Unit 3 with Mr Hayward

I wonder what fun thing Mr Lawrence will do with us tomorrow *smiles*

Had a clinical pathologist that came in for first prep today.

His name's Professor Archie Malcolm i think.

It was pretty alright, fascinating at some parts but I had no idea why my eyes went so heavy midway through the talk and my head nearly kissed the table as I dozed off

Everyone else was serious and listening so intently... *gulp*

Well except me and this other guy who fell asleep too!! Hahahahah ;)

2nd prep - UCAS talk, How to Prepare your personal statements

It was so stressful sigh.

I feel like I should be preparing my personal statement IMMEDIATELY after Mr Lawrence's talk.

But that temporary feeling has worn off and now I'm feeling super duper lazy

Hehe.

Had a Bell House meeting last night at midnight (!!)

Only my side though, as usual - Lara, Susan, Jane, Sasa, Charmaine, Esther & I ('cept Esther wasn't there, I wonder where she went)

Filled in my Travel Arrangements Form to go home already =D =D

I can't believe I'm going home in...... 16 days!!!!! =] =] =]

Almost 2 weeks now!!! I can almost smell the Malaysian air!!! Hearts! >

Omg I miss home and my dogs and my parents and the food and my maid!!!!! ): ):

I miss my cousin tooo!!! She always brings me out after she finishes work (which is pretty late!)

She'd call and say "Clare! I finish work! I need to buy barang! Wanna go out??"

Me : "Yeah!!!!!!!!! :) :)" *yells* "DAD!! MOMM!!! I'm going out with Poshy! Okay??"

And Dad and Mom would be like "Whatever!"

Hahahah we go out till like midnight and stuffff and my parents don't minddd hehehe

Cos my coz is super responsible! :3

Sigh I miss home like madness!

The nostalgia, especially now after exams, when I'm almost combusting in boredom.

Hahahaha ;)

Oh well, grateful that exams are over.

Fingers crossed for good results!

I just came to the horrifying realization that MY HANDWRITING HAS DETERIORATED.

It sucks to the max.

It's not fat and legible anymore.

It's messy and yuck.

It looks like a boy's handwriting :(((

I want my girl handwriting back!!!!!!!! ><

It's A Saturday with no tests man! :)

It's pretty stressful when wherever you look, everyone's studying super hard.

It's really like a super great incentive to study.

Even those who don't usually bother with their studies are studying their brains out. :/

Makes one feel insecure sometimes.

Makes me feel damn stressed ! Haahaha

Shu Yi's 17TH birthday today!!!!

HAPPY 17TH SHU-YI DEAR !!!!!!! [girl to the far left]

Winter time in Concord. Sighs i miss winter!!!!! Zomg. I look so evil in this picture TOT

I think I've almost reached the point of no return.

I'm so bored, that I have to resort to studying to kill my boredom.

I know, wth right!

== Finished one chapter of Chemistry - Thermochemistry

Now looking through a paper.

Hope I can finish Chemistry ASAP.

Then I wanna quickly move on to Economics, then Biology.

Who cares about English. I'll just do as I always do, memorize the format and terminology the few scant hours before the exam.

As for C2. Well, I'll worry about it once I get my 4 exams out of the way.

I feel so stressed that I'm not stressed enough!

Everyone else is "STRESS STRESS STRESS"

I'm like ..." ERRRRR....OK, stress cos not stressed [enough]"

Yeap and we're all getting our bouts of insecurity.

I'm getting them in little bursts of depression at random moments of the day.

Like when I'm walking back to my room, or when I hear the silence in the school.

Or when I see people studying in the library.

Nyeh ):

I'm really envious of the arts students, they only have economics and maths left.

I'd be super duper uber relaxed and be lazing my way through the halfterm break. ):

Sometimes life always manages to surprise you when you least expect it to. :)

OMGGG the mood to study has totally evaporated from me.

Left with Econs Unit 1 this week. -___-

Why must econs always, ALWAYS be a friggin' extension of the other papers?

Like all other papers finish first EXCEPT ECONS -_____-

It was like that during the Easter exam too.

Like everyone finished in the morning, but we economics students still had the econs paper on the last day.

Idk. No mood to study anymore. :'(

I have 20 or 30 more pages to look through in the Student Unit Guide zzzzzz.

I just feel sooo super bored.

I'm even trying out hairstyles! Hahahaa :pp

Should I go to town tomorrow? Hmm? In the morning? Afternoon? :/

I have NO idea how to prepare for my ELLA1 exam :xxx

Oh and it starts in 45 minutes.

:SSSSSS

1st week of AS exams

Heya, I can't believe that I've sat for 3 papers already D:

Chemistry F321, C1 & just finished Biology Unit 1 this morning.

I hope I did okay.

Was hungry after a pretty bad lunch (the chicken was spicy! D:)

So I went to the Post Office with Shu Li.

It was.....CLOSED! =.="

Opened at 2pm and we were approximately 41 minutes TOO EARLY.

So I wanted to walk back the long way, but Shu Li didn't want to.

So I told her it was the shortcut,, and she didn't realize it until we were halfway through walking the bigggggg round around the perimeter of the school compound :p

Hehe and now she's tired and sleepy, I bet she went to sleep hahahah!

Okay tomorrow I get a day off! ^_^

Then Statistics 1 and ELLA1 on Thursday.

So worried for ELLA1 la.

How on earth does one prepare for an English Lit and Lang exam anyway?

Other than memorizing terminology and re-reading the text again. :/

I should be studying stats but I've been delaying it from since I finished Bio around 10am. :S

I'm only at stem and leaf diagrams, yeah yeah, I know I'm a professional procrastinator.

So I bid you all adieu and shall return to my stats now

Ta! ;)

I'm trying my best not to be annoyed.

But the commotion downstairs outside my room is driving me nuts.

It's inflaming my headache.

Sorry that I sound so selfish right now, but I'm not feeling well and every yell is vibrating in my head.

I can't focus, the room is like a sauna, I'm bored & my bio book is lying away from me.

You know what people say that summer overseas is so nice? The sun doesn't set till 10pm (true).

But let me tell you. After months of single digit and below temperature, it SUCKS!

We don't have airconditioners nor do we have fans anywhere in Concord.

There are horrible bugs everywhere. Emphasis on EVERYWHERE.

I saw a spider in the toilet yesterday morning and I almost screamed. It was disgusting.

And did I mention that our toilet is so small that you can only afford to turn a circle?

So we have no choice but to face that....that....THING!!!

Everyone's facebook status is alllll about the horrible hot weather & the million and one bugs!!!

I don't know how I ever survived in Malaysia (which is much hotter than the temperature now).

I think I might even faint when I arrive in Singapore.

Fingers crossed that it'll just have finished raining when I arrive back in Kuching. :x

Chemistry

oh gosh i'm so bored la.

it's a friday night or should i say saturday morning and AS has just begun.

1st paper chemistry unit 1.

i dont know why but most of my exams usually ALWAYS begin with chemistry! odd much?

zzz i'm chatting with zane & doddy on msn and huicin on skype. boy i am bored.

did i mention i'm killing myself over the fact that i screwed up one subquestion in my chemistry exam today?

i wrote the answer as 9.84% and the answer was 98.4%!

I FELT LIKE killing myself when i left the exam hall and everyone seemed to have gotten the answer BUT ME!!!!!

But now i found out that tessa, shaun and i all made the same mistake.

sigh. 2 marks gone. goodbye A grade!!!! ): ): ):

I got into Paul House!!

The best girls' boarding house on campus! :)

But I'm so sad that most of my friends didn't get in.

Right now, only Nat (Lau) and I are the only ones of our group of friends that got in. D:

But at least I got Nat with me!!

We're gonna try to get a room near each other,, or opposite each other!

Would be awesome! XD

I felt so disheartened during the ballot, cos there were so many girls and I thought I didn't stand a chance at all.

It seemed like there were 50-100 girls in the theatre and only 30 rooms available. >o<

Since coming to Concord, I've never actually realized the privilege of looking forward to a Friday night, where I can do this rare thing called RELAX.

I **USED** to looooove Friday nights.

But NOW, it's the night I dread the most!

Because WHY?

Because of SATURDAY TESTS!!!!!!!

Gosh!!

It kills my Saturday mornings!!

#1 : I can't freaking sleep in!!

#2 : I have to spend sooo much of my time studying on Friday nights!! When what I really really want to do is watch movies!!!!!!!!! ): ):

#3 : I have multiple Saturday tests. Every. Single. Week. It's either 2 and 2 or 2 and 1 for most people but for ME, it's 3 and 2 every alternate week!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRR

And seriously, I'd rather start my tests early and end early but as LUCK WOULD HAVE it.

It's either I stay early AND end late or start late and End Late!!!!

WTF RIGHT??

=_="

Some more, gotta commute between tests between Sports Hall and Main Hall every week.

Gotta walk some more. Aiyer I'm damn malas man D:

Why must you always do this . . .

Don't you care at all?

We should just let all pretenses fall.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

Concord and UK thus far

Sorry just a few pictures I'm lazy to upload and rotate any more. ZZZZZ hahahah :p

Concord hosted their annual swimming gala today.

U Thant got 1st and HAMMERS 2ND =)

I think Waldheim got 3rd and Lie last, because they forfeited so many swimming events.

There were 2 national swimmers in U Thant, so lucky.

Yvette and Morris. National swimmers for Singapore and Hong Kong respectively.

They both all keng first for all their events...!! :OO

We had this English state swimmer on our team though, she's quite good too. :)

Her name's Hannah, if I'm not wrong.

Anyway, I went to cheer my baby sis on.

She swam for Form 3, since U Thant had no swimmers for Form 3.

I screamed her name and after she was done swimming, immediately switched to cheering my house, Hammerskold! =)

We had a BBQ outside the swimming pool after that.

I ate a beef burger, cos they were out of chicken already.

It was damn nice, the best food Concord's served since I came! :) :)

Will upload the pictures later! :) - erm, maybe in a few weeks' time!! Hahahaha.

Man, I know I gotta study but I just can't help but feel lazy.

AS only 3 weeks away now !! *gulp*

And going home in 8 WEEKS' TIME!!!!!! I can't freaking wait!! =)

Nat & I are gonna go out, out, out!!!!!!! (: (:

Attended the (second) Oxbridge meeting in Concord for the Summer Term 2010.
I missed the first one, so I asked Mr Madden and attended the second one.
I'm sitting in the new library and using the new computers for like, the FIRST TIME!!!
Hahaha no need to rub it in. I know I'm sakai. :p
Aiyer laa, listening to the Oxbridge talk makes me feel so stressed la.
Basically the underlying message they had to give was STUDY STUDY STUDY especially outside the textbook!!!!!!
AS is making me feel stressed and easily agitated, Pffttt
I was telling Mrs Hickman about how I'm going to balance all my subjects on time and she was like "You just gotta space yourself out, then"
Nyeh. I need to get started on my, as Carey puts it (very nicely, if I may say so), sea of English essays which I am prepared to drown in!!
Wells, adios. (We were asking Dr Braybrook how many languages he knew in Chemistry class today and he started reciting the "hi's" in more than 7 languages, I should think. :X
Pssttt, his Mandarin vocabulary is wider than mine, but don't tell him that! :P

Monday night

Trying to study Chem.

It's my worst subject :((( (Can you believe that! Someone shoot me now! D:)

Been getting super frustrated with English A Level.

ELLA2 Part A is horrigible!

We have to like, analyse these two pieces of text and compare them.

I suck at it, currently stuck at a B grade for that essay and I have approximately 3.5 weeks to improve myself up to an A grade. OMGGG

I feel like I can't really focus lately.

Which, in other words, translates to I'M IN DEEP SHIT.

AS Exams are just around the corner, and I haven't even started getting serious yet, when everyone else is so serious and studying super hard.

I'm especially worried for my Biology & Chemistry practical.

I think I've kind of resigned myself that I may have to repeat Chem practical in January =_="

I'll try my best on my last evaluation.

At least we could repeat our pracs for Chemistry.

Not like Biology, I think I'm screwed for EMPA.

Mrs Newton-Badman is still in the hospital and frankly, I kinda miss her.

Even though I always sleep in her lessons. Hehe whoops. :x

Aiyerrr, I hope she recovers ASAP.

We have this erm. Substitute teacher, who used to teach in Concord but is currently retired.

Ben & Mr Woods assured me that she was a good GCSE Biology teacher.

But somehow now, I'm err....not feeling particularly assured.

Oh and I've finally had the realization that I finally think of Concord as my new school, rather than Lodge, Lodge, Lodge.

I've been there my whole life ;)

I saw the pictures up on Facebook for Lodge's Sports Day, which probably took place a few hours after our Saturday road race here at CC.

Congrats to Purple House for coming in 2nd...for the 3rd consecutive year in a row.

But hey, it's better than coming in last all the time.

I'm actually a bit sad that I'm in Hammers now, I've always been in Yellow and I honestly would've preferred being in Lie House, but what to do?

I'm in Green House now, gotta deal with it.

Hahah, I've been in Yellow --> Purple and now ---> Green.

What a drastic colour change! :p

Anyway, I should sleep soon, I am damn sleepy now.

Goodnight! Oyasumi nasai! :D

Slept supa late and woke up supa late tooooo!
Slept at around 4am. Woke up at nearly 1pm.
At least I got my 8 hours of sleep! :D
Anywayy, I'm bored.
Anas is gonna drag me and Sha to swim soon.
ZZZZZ.
I haven't swum in months!

Sorry for being a camwhore :p

Hulllllooooo

Celebrated Kho Peng & Julie's belated birthday party todayyy at the field behind the basketball court and lower school!

It was fun ^_^

Nat, Bele, Julia, Julie, Jasper, Tessa, me, Stephanie, Jia Hui, Ivy, Ken, Shaun, Andy, Hilda and this lower school guy came and celebrated tooo!

Then we tried doing jump shots, but Ken kept missing our jumps =_=" (was that on purpose?)

And I tried to ride the guys' bicycles, dammit their seats are SO SUPER HIGH and it was sooo painful cos when I put my legs across it, my feet can barely touch the ground and i'm like stretching my calf and thigh muscles to the max!!

Oh, we had the Concord Road Race today!

When I was asked to join, I was told that it was 1km!

Then someone else told me it was 1.5km and then 1.7km!

And I was soooo regretting joining the race when they said that!!!

Because I tried training the night before, I only just about lasted 600m!!!!

So I was super worried and panicked the whole night.

I even dreamed about the race O_O

But I didn't get last, thank goodness.

I got like 21st out of 36 girls.

Okay bah.

Considering I've never run longer than 400m in any athletics competition before ! LOL

Many HAMMERS GIRLS ran!

I'm so proud of them, Kwang and Soo Chin especially!!

Took me just round bout a million years to persuade them to run.

And HAMMERS is in FIRST PLACE (Well, we're tied with U Thant in the road race, but that's not important he he)

I jogged the whole way and stopped only twice to walk for like, less than 50m?>

YAY! (: Maybe I should consider doing long distance lol! :p

Watched "Princess & the Frog" with Huicin, Nat and Tessa! *Hearts*

Hehehe. I should be studying man :'(

I'm sleepy but I don't wanna sleep early cos it's a Saturday night!!

And I ALWAYS stay up on a Saturday night!!!

It's my way of rebelling against my usual Concord bedtime hahahahaha.

Cos the internet offs at 2am too =_=" SADNESS!! ! !

Shit laaaaa!!!!!

Now I'm feeling sooo nervous for the road race tomorrow!!!!

Everyone running in all the other houses are sooo fastttt and athleticcc!!!!

:((

My stomach keeps cramping cos I'm so nervous.

It's more than 1km, KILL ME NOWWWWW

THEY TOLD ME IT'S ONLY 1 KILOMETER!!!!! !&*@!!_@(

Even 1km I also can't tahan, what more to say, >1KM!!!!!!!!

OMGGGGG

This is making me even more nervous than my Saturday test tomorrowww!!! ARGHHHH

Hui Cin and Shu Yi are back !!!! Yayyyyyyy!!!

I msn-ed with shu li on ken's ebuddy during lunch!

She's doing as she always is - damn funny! :p

Hermmm....everyone will be back at the end of the week.

And yes, I'm blogging because I'm procrastinating again.

English homework, you know.

I am super lazy for English this term O_O

I need to get my head into the game!

New library and the rest of the J block is open already.

It looks awesome, although I got lost and I'm sure to get lost again when I go in. :XX

Anyway, tomorrow's the last day of the week - Friday THANK GOODNESS.

Then, ermmm....Saturday test and after Saturday tests, ROAD RACE!!

1KM for girls, 2KM for guys.

1KM ah. I wonder if I can complete 1km O_O

Cos my stamina is only worth up tooo...ermm maximum is probably 350m?

So I'll just jog slowly! ;p

Mr Lawrence and Mr Hawkins running too LOL.

Mr Lawrence was like *jaw drop* "You're participating in the race?"

ME : =______=

Mr Lawrence : "Oh well, I'll be ahead of you in the race ! "

ME : =______= WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT THIS WEEKEND!!!!

anyway, gotta do ELLA1 homework zzzz.

English so mah huan smtimes. :/

I am so super lazy to do my ELLA2A essay.

It's soooo boring - analysing & comparing two pieces of unknown text.

It's like zzzz and takes me 50 minutes to finish it in the exam =_=

God knows how I passed that part.

Mr Lawrence said "But still, you did damn bloody good"

Oh and I just had the startling revelation that my handwriting is deteriorating.

It looks like horrible squiggles and completely unintelligable, I tell you.

Maybe cos the weather is still pretty cold and when I'm cold, my handwriting goes zhup!

Horrible, horrible, horrible!

Or saying it in Mr Harding style, 'orrible, 'orrible, 'orrible LOL!

Mr Harding is so cute, man! :p

Okay, Clare is making excuses for herself not to study. :(

Oh, London universities sent some representatives to talk about their unis and stuff today.

UCL, Kings, Imperial and LSE.

Minimum requirement to enter my course in Cambridge, Imperial and Kings - A*AA

And for UCL, it's AAA-ABB.

Hmmm.

Not bothered with LSE, I'm not in it for the artsy subjects :/ though they're my strong subjects lol

I'm supposed to enter this duet piano workshop this afternoon but it clashed with the talk and my duet partner is stranded in her hometown (Singapore) soooo....yeah :(

Psshhh. 3 minutes to 4pm.

I better get cracking on my english homework!

(Sometimes I so regret taking English, sighs! TT^TT)

Iceland's volcano erupted and now many CC students are stranded in their hometowns or forced to go on alternative routes and take long, painful journeys by bus/train for hours and hours being swashed in the middle of those swarms of people wanting to go home.

Classes are so small now.

There's 4 people in total in my Chem/Bio/Math class - Ken, Shaun, Averyl and yours truly.

2 (!!) people in English - Ben & I

7 (WTF WHY SO MANY -.-) okay, now 6 since Kwang dropped, um, TODAY people in Econs - Twinkie, Jeevan, Dara, Ken, Shaun and me!

The topics for A2 economics sounds pretty simple, they're all on macroeconomics and international trade, business costs and revenues and what not!!

Geez! The only thing I'm relatively alright in in Economics must be next year's syllabus ! =_="

Ugh, just when I'm gonna drop Econs for A2.

Econs or English?

ECONS OR ENGLISH GUYS?????

Hey guys!

Back in CC already.

Well actually, I've been back for about 2 and a half days already though :p

Came back on a Friday night.

Saturday, took the public bus to town and in the afternoon did my bio prep for 5 hours. :X

Today, I was supposed to get a head start on some English homework (27 essays), and it's 9.41pm and almost time for room check and I've done a grand total of ZERO.

Well, actually, I've done half an essay, or not really half, more like half a page! of one analysis essay.

I sooo have to mug and finish it by tonight!

Else, Mr Lawrence will kick me out of class and Mr Woods would be supremely disappointed in me. :SSSSS

Wish me luck! :p (I need all the luck I can get :xx)

Celebrated Jasper and Shane's 18th birthday at the student kitchen yesterday. :D

I'll upload the pictures on facebook soon.

Sadly, my camera ran outta battery before the cutting of the cake and all that. sooo yeahh

Anyway! I'm going to London soon!!

I'M GONNA MISS MY FRIENDS :'(

LONDON is so boring sighs!

I think I'm stupid for getting upset over such a small issue, but I can't help myself.

I'm an emotional roller-coaster.

Someone save me please.

End of March

I don't know why, but I can't sleep :/

Just finished studying Chemistry and started one chapter of econs omggggg.

I think I will just cram Econs1 in after Chemistry exam in the morning.

Got bout 2-3 hours, I'll just read the summary book, it's sufficient enough for an MCQ paper anyway hahahhaa.

Got 3 out of 9 of my results back.

Remind me to pester Mr Woods tomorrow for our ELLA1 results.

Oh wait, I don't think I wanna know, I think I did rather badly for that paper. :X

ANYWAY I'M IN SUCH A HOLIDAY MOOD NOWWWW AND NO MOOD TO STUDY LIAOOOOOOO.

HOW LEHHHH?? DIEE AHHHH :((

argh! I can't wait for easter break to start! :33

Even though I'll be confined and I KNOW I have to study throughout this break, else GOODBYE UNIVERSITY. (indirectly, I mean, if I get bad AS grades)

But whatever. My only thought right now is "EXAMS. ARE. ENDING. HOLIDAY.HOLIDAY. HOLIDAY. HOLIDAY!"

I suppose I'll fall asleep soon, once, you know, the internet gets turned off around 1-2ish.

LOL

Anyway oh oops before I forget!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY JASPERRRR!!!

Yee I don't like this picture. :( But it's the only one I have with him, so yeahhh. Whatever la. hahahha

Don't think of maths too much, you math genius! ;pp

And... Happy 19th Birthday to Leonard tooooo! :)

(Wow, so many people born on this date. XD and sorry I don't have a picture with him/of him :x)

One more day of exam!!!

DAMMIT I'M SO LAZY TO STUDY ANYMOREEEEE!!!!!

Heya, it's Sunday night and all my plans for the weekend was an epic failure.

I told myself I'd study Bio finish on Friday, study Chemistry the whole Saturday, and Econs on Sunday.

But as you can see, I've only completed Bio like....erm 6 hours ago? But I might have to go back and revise on xerophytic plants, cos we ain't sure whether it's on the exam or not :x

I went to E House to see Hui Cin and we were in Nat's room LOL

Nat and I were like comparing how our weekends were an epic failure from our plans to study everything finish by this weekend.

So we needn't cram tonight and on Monday night.

But at least she doesn't have Econs to cram for!!

The whole Unit 1, which I still haven't touched omgggg.

And now, I'm just like...memorizing maths formulas for C2 tomorrow.

I think I might ***try*** to study a bit of Chemistry or Econs, depending on my mood.

Been feeling so lazy.

Can't believe that one term is nearly over.

I still can't believe I've been living in the UK for about 3 months already.

Home seems so far away... :(

BUT STILL. 2 MORE DAYS OF EXAMS!!!!! YESSSS!!!!!

(I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO BE OVER -- though I gotta study during EASTER BREAK T-T)

I should be studying now, but I am muka-bukuing as my dear ONE AND ONLY SIN HUI CIN TELLS ME.

And lookie! Here she is!

No, you don't look like a vampire.

And my post has gotten deleted for the UHH...SECOND TIME... cos of aherm. I wonder who.

So I'm lazy to type the bottom paragraph again. :(

(ALL UR FAULT HUI CINNNNN )

(YES U *SHUD* FEEL BADDD)

It's another Friday night.

I can hardly believe I've been here for so many Friday nights already.

I'm so freaking happy that tomorrow is the weekend, but super stressed that I have to study so much this weekend. (Chem Unit 1, Bio Unit 2, Econs Unit 1, C2)

I have to go to town cos I NEED food sustinence to sustain me through the last 2 (most stressful) days of exams.

ELLA1 was totally killer. It's even worse than ELLA2. =_="

I think it's the worst English exam I've done in my life.

But okay, it's over, I don't want to think about it.

I'm going to town in the morning tomorrow.

Though I don't wanna go, but I've run out of food...so yeah.

Going with Hui Cin, Maddie and Kwang.

Ohhh, we sat for our S1 exam and can see the results already +_+

I'm quite disappointed with mine.

91% nya. Cos I wanted a higher mark for S1 so when I do badly for C2 (I suck in C2), it'll average out to be a decent grade. :O Logical right???

Hermmm...I wasted my entire prep time.

Shu Li and Hui Cin were having the time of their lives laughing at my Mandarin writing. =_="

Well, I laughed too...soo hahahah. :p

And Mr Harding kept coming back to check our prep room, cos we kept talking hehehe.

But I really feel like I have no mood to study anymore :'(

Can I take a break now?

But I need to cram so much if I take a break now. :'(

And I cannot stop thinking about my Biology textbook (wth right?)

And I'm like "SHIT! I DON'T FEEL LIKE WATCHING MOVIE EITHER, COS I KNOW I HAVE TO STUDY"

So I may watch movie/study all the way into the night.

I swear, I keep showering during exam periods.

My bath soap went from full to almost half gone in under a week!

And usually it can last me like,, a month?

Okay, I think I'm gonna shower again hahaha.

Bored, kayyyy? (:

I wanna go home toooooo.

I miss home, I miss sleeping on my nice, warm and comfy bed and waking up to find my darling Whiskey sleeping above my head and my warm Ah Chess and Dukey baby curled up next to me.

I wonder how my Princess is doing, I hope mum and dad are going out to see her often.

She likes to be loved too (:

And Whiskey snr and Anette? She's living next to Princess now! >

DAMMIT, I MISS MY SEEMINGLY ENDLESS SUPPLY OF MOVIES -.-"

Everyone's going homeeee!!!!!

I WANNA GO HOME TOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Okay, Clare, you can't afford to go home anyway.

So much holiday prep. T^T

ESPECIALLY ENGLISH!!!

(Why, oh why, am I taking A Level English again!!!!!!???)

I'm just looking forward to the start of 6.2, where I'll be more free! (hopefully)

Depending what subject I'll drop.

(If mum allows me to drop any)

I'LL BE FREEEEEE (: (:

Friday

4 papers down.

5 more to goooo!!!

Everyone's like "1 paper left! 2 papers etc"

And I'm like "=_= 5 more for me T-T"

Later in the afternoon I have ELLA1 exam.

Only for A Level English students, sighs!!!

Oh wells, at least I don't have any exam on Saturday like the Physics students :p

Poor them.

And next week will bring new meaning to the word "torture" for me. :'(

Monday - Bio2 and C2 (Panic. I suck in C2! AND BIO SO MUCH TO STUDY =_=)

Tuesday - Chem F321 and Econs Unit 1

(Did I mention I've never studied Unit 1 since I stepped foot here? I'm screwed. And chemistry, I DIDN'T TOUCH EITHER OMGGGG)

I'm gonna hafta cram bio2, c2, chem F321 and Econs Unit 1 this weekend)

Wish me luck, i'm gonna need it D:

One word to say about my first paper ie ELLA2.

OMGGGGGG

But at least I finished.

Wrote 6 pages in 1.5 hours.

2 analysis essays.

I'm stressed about an English exam for the first time ever in my life. =_="
I mean, it's no stress!
After all, this is only the benchmark for my predicted grades, which will inevitably lead to which university I will end up in.
A nameless university or a prestigious university.
NO STRESS, RIGHT? -_-"

It's finally Monday and exams have begun!
Anas has started her exams already.
I haven't, I start on Wednesday ^_^
But I'm so bored D:
I wish my exams start early and end early!!!! ><
I have 2 papers on the last day, total WTH right? =_="
Everyone's stressed about exams, but everyone's so excited to be going home soon!
How I envy them.
I wouldn't mind going home too!
But it's not really worth it, yea.
I probably won't study at all.
And it'd be really bad for me. :'(
If I get bad results for AS exam.
Mum's coming down for Easter!!!
(Mum, I want to go visit BATH! AND THE ROMAN SPA =D)
Hehehe

Random thought : I miss watching movies and dramas. D: I haven't watched a proper movie or drama since i came to Concord. It's just like watch 10 minutes, pause, do homework for 1/2 hr, then go back and watch another 3-10 minutes. After doing this for like 5 times, I get bored and stop watching.
Yeah i was telling cincin yesterday how I'm dying to watch a drama, and she was like "DON'T! Later can't focus on exams"
I was like "SIGHSSSSS. I KNOWWWWW. That's why I didn't start watching any... T-T"
Approximately 3 more months = around 12 weeks till I go home!!!
I can't wait, I'm gonna eat and watch TV and play with my darlings everyday! >=D

OMGGG it's Sunday night and almost midnight and I'm soooo not ready for exams!!
I've barely even finished 3 big chapters for Bio and I still have 3 big chapters to gooooo!!!!
Kill me now, please! KILL ME NOWWWWW
I kept making excuses for myself the entire day, saying I'd do it later, or there's still time.
And I can't seem to trust Mr Hayward's judgement that Ec1 is really on Unit 2.
Haven't started revising Econs yet, so as you can see, I'm kinda screwed?
Well, one thing i'm grateful for! Unlike the Law, Double Math and Spanish students, my exams do not begin on a Monday :D
It starts on Wednesday.
Seriously need to get my ass cracking and finish Bio1 by tomorrow.
Else I'm doomed.
Econs, I can do it on Wednesday afternoon after ELLA2.
Need to study for ELLA2 on Tuesday night.
I mean, revise all the damn terms ! =.="

GAWD, I'M SO STRESSED RIGHT NOW AND EVERYONE IS STUDYING LIKE MADNESS WHILE MY DAY WAS ABSOLUTELY WASTED!! T-T
GRRRRR KILL ME NOWWWW!!!!!
I'm a failure! :'(

OMGGGG it's half an hour + to midnight,, and I've only studied two chapters of Bio.
What was I doing since I came back from town?
Oh yes, onlining. =_=
Because learning about electron microscopes and their short wavelengths which can view objects up to 0.1nm apart is sooooo interesting.
So physics-ish. And don't I just adore physics. -.-"
Man, I really need to get control of my head.
Bio, Econs, English, S1.
I keep running these words through my head, but nothing ain't working.
The moment I think of magnification and all that nonsense, my brain shuts down and I go to sleep.
Geez, something is seriously wrong with me~!

And I keep feeling like someone is calling my name.
Actually, it's the person who lives opposite me calling her boyfriend.
She was calling him and i heard my name and i was like "yeah what?"
*opens door*
No one's there.
Hears her talking with her boyfriend downstairs
*blush* I go "oops wrong person heehe"
Embarrassing much? :XX

I spent this Saturday morning sleeping again ^_^
It feels great sleeping in! (for the 3rd Saturday in a row)
But sadly, I had to go to town :((
Cos I lost one of my earrings and I have no spare and I was so scared that my hole would close :O
And going to town explains why I'm only on big chapter 2 on Unit 1 of Biology ><"
And I haven't even started revising econs, which is Unit 2 first. (Why the heck do they call the paper Ec1 if they're testing unit 2??!!!)
Oh and reading my English novels again, for analysis and scene production.
So I need to memorize all those term, "deictic expressions"; "static verbs"; "syntax"; "phatic utterances" and all that.
But I'll leave that till Tuesday night to read through the notes of Enduring Love. =.="
ELLA2 first paper. Man, even English is stressing me out T-T
I keep thinking "Oh shit what if I get bad results for English? What if I can't remember how to write an analysis? What if this and what if that?"
And it's making me more and more worried.
Well, at least I haven't worked myself right up to a good ole temper......yet.
Trying not to stress out, else everything I'm looking at will not sink it at all. TOT
Let me tell you my timetable for this week.
I've memorized it, and I don't have much to say so I'll just tell you guys this.
Exams officially begin on Monday, but I start on Wednesday! (Yay!! ... Or not? Cos I have so many papers squashed into 5 days)
Thank goodness no test on Saturday for me though.
I think physics and another group have an exam on Saturday.
So kesian!

Anyway, 1st paper
Wednesday - ELLA2 (AM1)

Thursday - Econs1 (AM1), BIO1 (PM1)

Friday - S1 (AM1), ELLA1 (PM1)

That's for this week only--
Well this is actually nothing compared to the gazillion exams I took in Lodge, where we had 3 papers on average everyday.
LOL

This week's alright but homg, next week's horrible!

Monday - BIO2 (AM1), C2 (PM1) ---[I suck in C2 MATHS TOT]

Tuesday - CHEM1 (AM1), EC2(PM1)

Then it's EASTER BREAK !!!!!!! :DDDD

Serious Stress!

Shit, whoever said A Levels was hard was right on the dot!
Okay, it's not that hard, but being January intake students who have to learn an ENTIRE SYLLABUS in less than 5 months is serious shitty!
And I'm taking 5 (!!) A Levels, I must be insane.
Easter exam is next week and I'm already panicking.
Cos I haven't really started studying and I'm screwed if I do badly.
It's VERY important for UCAS predictions so if I screw up, I'm screwing up my WHOLE FUTURE!
MY LIFE WILL BE OVER IF I DO BADLY T^T
Can someone kill me now please?
I'm like in the seesaw mood during exams when I don't feel like studying, but know I have to study.
I still feel like my IGCSE results were just based on luck, I didn't really study that hard like how people say "Once you reach high school, you have to study for more than week to prepare for your exams"
I still prepared like okay, a bit longer than usual, ie 3 days before, usually I only prepare the night before.

Sorry for this ramble post, I'm super worried and bored and I need to watch a movie but I NEED TO STUDY MY GODDAMN BIOLOGY AND ECONOMICS!!!!!!
WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOOO!!!!
If I fail these exams, I'M A LOSER FOREVERRRRRR!!!
MY LIFE WILL BE ***OVER***!!!!!
My career will be over before it even beginsss!! T-T

Grr dammit I've been stoning all day and my day's been getting worse and worse.
Double econs is enough to make my teeth grind.
And the rest of the day just went downhill from there =_="

DAMMIT I MISS HOMEEEEE!!
I WANNA EAT YUMMY FOOD, I WANNA SEE MY DOGGIES, I WANNA BE DRIVEN AROUND, I WANNA BE SO BORED WITH KUCHING, I WANNA GO TO SPRING EVERYDAY, I JUST WANNA GO HOMEEEEE
I'm so super uber jealous of all my friends who are going home for Easter!
Easter will be a time of excruciating pain for me.
Mum's coming down and I have to revise D:

And you know what?
My Stats teacher, Mr Harding says "Oh, during Easter break I shall give you no prep! You've studied hard already, so take a break during Easter! Don't study!"
On the other hand, my Biology teacher, Mrs Newton-Badman said, "Okay, folks, here's your holiday prep. Prep for you to do during the holidays so you don't forget your Biology!" (She gave us a sheet of A4 paper but wooow, the work she's set us is ENORMOUS)
Class : "Uggghh PREP!!!!!!!????"

SHIT IM STONING AND GETTING EMO AGAIN.
AND UTTERING A LOT OF PROFANITIES AS WELL.
DAMMIT
IT'S STRESS D:

Heya!
It's a Monday night today.
And Shit! I woke up at 8am today!
And I rushed to get ready for school.
Was ALMOST late for registration!
But Mr Woods (my tutor) and the rest of my tutor group was later ! ;)
Well except Hui Cin and Daria.
Usually it's a close call between the 3 of us on who arrives earliest for tutor lol.
And man, my back has been aching the whole day.
The right side of my back.
I wonder if I'd injured it somehow?
Tomorrow we still have Tuesday tests!
SIGHS! I don't understand how we can still have tests when Easter exam is right next week!!!
My exams start on Wednesday, although exams officially begin on a Monday.
I have 9 papers to sit for. T^T
A single on the first day and doubles for the rest of the exam week!!!!! SADNESS!!!! :'((
Oh wells, at least I don't have exams on Saturday, like those taking physics ! Hehe, I am so evil! :D
I feel so lazy to study Bio anymore, I didn't sleep in Bio class recently, I've been staying awake and listening in class like a good lil girl ;) hehehe
English as test one then break and then bio for me ^_^
At least I don't need to run to sports hall this time!!!
Like last week! Daniel, Ken, Shaun, Kwang and I were late for our second test cos they didn't tell us we had to go to sports hall for 2nd test!!!! :(((
Luckily, Dr Herbert was kind and Mr King too.
They gave us extra time when we explained our situation.
But in the end, none of us needed the extra time anyway ahhahaha
Okay, my back is seriously killing me now.
TTYL.

Heya it's a Saturday night, okay I guess it's Sunday morning now, because it's already 12.10AM.

I am extremely super duper tired.

I guess many people are at the disco, but as usual I am not interested in dancing.

My back hurts, I had so much homework!!

So I spent my whole day doing homework :((

I mean, subtracting the time when I went to town from around 1.30pm to 4.30pm.

Shoot.

Anyway, I finished C2, ELLA2 and my Biology report.

My Biology report is 5 pages long. O.O

Damn, I'm so stressed out with the coming Easter exam.

It's gonna be the basis of our UCAS prediction grades so I *have* to do well!

It's so near to exams, but we're still laden with homework!!!

My teachers have no heart :'(

All the other classes don't have homework T^T

Okay, I'm being so emo right now.

Anyway, one more homework to go.

ELLA1 Production Task.

But I don't care anymore.

My back is aching from hours at the chair and I need a break.

So I'm watching a movie.

ELLA1 can wait.....NOT!!!!! SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE TO READ ENDURING LOVE FINISH BY THIS WEEKEND ELSE MR LAWRENCE WILL GET ANGRY WITH ME!!!! SHIATTTTTTTTT!!!!

NO TIME FOR MOVIE BREAKS, CLARE!!

Gotta get my ass cracking.

Bye!!!! :)

Mayor's Concert

Heyy! It's 12th of March and the milk in my room is going to expire in 4 days' time :((

Okay, so it's a Friday night and I am *NOT* mugging for a Saturday test again!! ^_^

Wheee!!!!

Cos today was mayor's concert, thank goodness.

It's the last night of a series of 4 concerts, not including dress rehearsals.

And we had to audition TWICE, cos we weren't ready for the 1st audition, can you believe that??

LOL.

The first concert was last week and we held it for Lower School and teachers and staff and all that.

The second concert was international societies only - for the sixth form to watch.

Third concert - Rotarians and any extra places given to any sixth former who wants to watch.

Last concert (Today) - For the mayor of Shrewsbury and outsiders.

I hope we did alright. :)

I didn't screw up today, thank goodness!

I almost tangled with Tessa during the bending down part yesterday and I immediately got tangled up in our opening yesterday :SS

Today no mistake, which is GOOD =)

Hmm...well it was kinda fun!

And Malaysian and Singaporean Society both had Bamboo for dinner after the performance!! ^_^

Hehe =DD Chinese food all the way babyyyy! :pp

I'm through with wearing tights WOOHOOO!!!! HEHEHEHE

I forgot to bring my camera, but I'll try to get the pictures from the others' cameras.

OMG, Mrs Fowles (my House Parent) just came in and she's sick.

Poor thing,, but thank goodness she didn't try to attempt conversation today.

Before our turn came, I was talking to some of the other Malaysians and we were like "OMG I CAN'T SPEAK MANDARIN EITHER"

Total bonding session!

Hahah the Bananas United!

And I found my life partner.

I'm B1 ! And Maddie is B2! As in Bananas in Pyjamas! HAHAHAHAH

:DD

I have discovered someone who has about the same level of Mandarin as me.

HAHHAH Shuan Kua! We're like the two EXTREME (as the other Shaun says) Bananas!

:pp

Anyway, I got tons of homework today.

My teachers are so relentless. T-T

How come all the other classes are so homework free!!!

Can't even study for Easter exam!!!! =.="

Oh well. I'll try my best!!!!

JIA YOUUUU!!!!!! :DDD

Free Friday!!!! :DDD

It's a Friday night and I am NOT busy cramming for Saturday test!

YAY!!!! ^^

I'M GONNA WATCH MOVIES TONIGHT,

EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD BE STUDYING ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO SATURDAY TEST!!!

We just had one of the four concerts before mayor's concert, we missed 2nd prep!

My entire prep room, S9, was like totally empty, cos all of us are performing and the Taiwanese girl from Lower School was attending the concert.

Today's concert is for parents, staff and Lower School, that's why!

Hehe, so Saturday test is postponed to Tuesday but it's prolonging the torture, I should be goddamn studying now! :'(

Ergh, so what am I doing now?

Skyping with Bele, and punching holes in my English production notes.

Damn lame right? Hahhaa

Shu Yi came over to my room a few minutes ago, we were kinda...camwhoring? :P

Okay, last picture. We have more, but I'm lazy to upload hehehe :)

Woeful Wednesdays

Heyyy guys!
It's almost time for the spring concert or mayor's concert, whichever you prefer to call it.
All 6.1 Concordians involved are busy rehearsing every night, including all Malaysian Society.
Today is Wednesday, I should be having a somewhat "free" afternoon, but sadly, I'm not. :(
But hey, i got a DOUBLE FREE from Chemistry today, as some people had to repeat their coursework. xD
YAY FOR FREES!!! :DD
This afternoon's gonna be heck of a busy one.
1.30pm - Chemistry coursework
2.30pm - Piano classes (oh no! Haven't practised yet and I told that to Mrs Hickman when I saw her yesterday in LS :(( )
4.00pm - Dance practice?
2nd prep - Dress rehearsal

Oh dear :(
No time to study for Saturday, I mean, Tuesday (for the next 2 weeks) tests.

For 1st prep, I think I will ask Alisa (my awesome prep prefect from Latvia :D) to help me with makeup for dress rehearsal.

EEKKK, I need to get black tights, thanks for the reminder LOL

I need to jet off for Chemistry soon.

SIGHS.

But at least I'm not one of those unfortunate ones in first-aid training, who have first-aid for the ENTIRE Wednesday afternoon since the beginning of term.

Anyway, it seems as though spring is here.

The sun is up and about before I wake up every day and is sets only after during 1st prep (around 5 or 6ish)

The flowers are also beginning to bloom, so I suppose I *could* call it spring. :)

Well, the down side is that I'm currently in my first day of suffering through my monthly colds, which may I add, only begun since I came to Shrewsbury.

It didn't happen to me in London or Kuching, or anywhere else.

These monthly colds are so NOT fun.

My nose and throat are what, 50% blocked on a daily basis?

OMG ! STOP, COLD!

Can you imagine if I sneezed or sniffed on stage while performing for mayor's concert?

Total "eeekkk!!" moment.

You make me sick!
SO THICK-SKINNED, obviously you've never learnt the concept of "manners" before.
Talk about being freaking incovenient, you freak value.
If you ruin my holiday, I will *kill* you.

We had a speaker coming in to discuss with us the results of our Career Test today.
Some lady, whose name I can't seem to quite recall and where she comes from, I have no idea.
I think she's from FUTUREWISE, the erm, what should I call them? The board that does all these Career Tests?
Yeah, something like that.
She went like "bla, bla, bla" and i kind of tuned her out after a while, cos all she was doing was basically repeating whatever was written in our report already.
Then, I rushed back to my room and got ready my books for prep and ran back to the theatre for the Oxbridge Talk.
Omg, the Oxbridge Talk was so boring, I nearly died.
All they were basically telling us is "oh, competition is really tough. really stressful. u MUST BE SURE U WANT TO APPLY"
And u knw, Mr Madden just kept talking about medics, medics and medics.
Oh, medicine is really difficult to get into.
Bla bla bla.
What about us NON-MEDICS, EXCUSE ME?
Ish =_="
Halfway, okay maybe 3/4 into the speech, I dozed off.
Not just me, kayy..
Andy slept too.
It's like, Andy on the left "ZZZZ"
Me in the middle "ZZZZZZ"
Woei Pin on the right *eyes open*
I woke up just before the speech ended.
Andy continued sleeping hhahahah!
Then we RUSHED to prep, wth right.
We should've gotten a 5 minute break or something!! ><
Ishness, I feel soooo lazy to study for Saturday tests.
I studied Econs yesterday and the day before yesterday already, thank goodness.
Else I'd be cramming like mad right now.
3 tests tomorrow - kill me now.
C2, Chemistry (Bonding & Structure) and Economics (Aggregate Demand, Aggregate Supply and the Circular Flow of Income)
Okay, I admit, I only read up on Econs because I didn't really get what Mr Hayward was teaching about in class.
And he doesn't really explain well when I ask questions, so yeah....
I can foresee that Econs is a subject, where I shall have to, once again, self-study, like I did with Physics in IGCSE.
But Mr Hayward's class is pretty okay, but it's kinda different from Mr Lim's class, cos the class here is so quiet and no one really opens their mouth to share their opinions, which is so boring, because discussions are interesting!
And it really helps with understanding.
The econs class keeps contracting because people keep dropping, or are longing to drop Economics.
I can totally understand the feeling, cos I was dying to drop Econs last year, and during the second week of school here.

Okay, i shall go back to my Chinese New Year moaning.
I can't believe that everyone in Malaysia is ON HOLIDAY RIGHT NOW, and I'M NOT.
The teachers don't seem to remember/know/realize that it is Chinese New Year this weekend and they swamped me with TONS OF HOMEWORK.
So I have to spend my FIRST cny away from home, DOING HOMEWORK.
Can someone please shoot me?
Mr Woods' essay, which would probably take me 3-4 hours if I want an A for that assignment (and i *DO* want an A)
Mrs Newton-Badman told us to research on lactose intolerant and DESIGN A (FRIGGIN') PAMPHLET about lactose intolerant.
Both are due next week, right before half-term.
Ohmygosh, I can't wait for half-term to begin.
I'm in serious need of eating Japanese food asap!
Oh and I *NEED* to buy a pair of slippers, shoes, and a school bag.
Can you believe I forget to bring them from Malaysia?
Gosh, i'm so dumb! *slaps forehead*

Oh, tomorrow is Chinese New Year Eve and we're going to BIRMINGHAM for Chinese dinner!
Yay! I can't wait to eat steamed fish! YUM YUM
Anas and Sha not going though, they're staying at the college.
:(
I've never been to Birmingham, went past it on the train but never set foot in it, i wonder what it's like.
Anyway, Saturday tests first.
Then Birmingham in the afternoon! <3
OH, What am I gonna wear????!!!
Woei Pin and Andy said no need to dress up =_=", but c'mon la! It's cny eve!!!!
Need to dress nicer a bit! :D

Okay, I should seriously go back to studying Chemistry now.
When is my house parent coming?
I wanna sleep or something :'(
She should come FASTER.

It's a Wednesday night again.

Wednesdays are so fun, cos we have half day school ~~

But the thought of THURSDAY is just killer.

Double econs as period 8 and 9, my last two periods :((

And Saturday tests has begun looming again. :'(

On the bright side, I finished Mr Lawrence's essay on Conversation 5 (!! :)) ) and now only left with Mr Woods essay, which I'd probably do on Sunday or something like that.

Omg, Sunday is CNY!

Forgot about it again.

Had Bio catch up class after school.

So I went early to return "MAID IN MANHATTAN" to the librarian.

Awesome movie, btw.

Not my first time watching, but still I love it.

So uber romantic!

In the library, I met Jasper and this new guy from KK, called Pawara, and we were like talking and talking and it was damn funny.

All our faces went super duper red and we were laughing and laughing and laughing.

Received my Parcel from Dru today, containing my Burberry Brit Sheer perfume!!!

Ahhhh!! i'm so happy, but i'm so sad to open the wrapping it looks so nice!!!!!

I WANNA USE IT DAMMIT!!!!

But so kesian to buka~~~

Oh man, ada dilemma sekarang !

oh well, I'M GONNA OPEN IT ANYWAY!!! =PP

Then I'm crashing Bele's room after this LOL

Hey from Shrewsbury

Hey guys.

Been awhile since I last blogged, huh?

Um, well let's see now.

Valentine's Day/Chinese New Year is this Sunday.

My first CNY away from home.

God knows when I will spend the next CNY at home :'(

What have I been up to lately?

Concord's pretty okay, I'm kinda starting to settle into the work.

School times isn't much different from Lodge actually.

Just that we are stuck in the school from dawn till dusk.

I don't really find it that stressful....okay, maybe not yet...but i think I will soon.

Surprisingly, despite all the discouraging comments about A Level English I received from my seniors, it's not that difficult, or time consuming.

I rather enjoy it.

Much more than I enjoy stupid Econs. =_=

Ugh, I hate Econs. I hate Econs. I hate Econs.

It's currently my worst subject. (as usual, what a surprise that is! Wow!)

Math is fine....So far...

I really like Statistics.

My teacher, Mr Harding, is so cute.

He's really funny and I think he's a great teacher =)

Mrs Jesshope is really funny too....but I usually just try my best in her C1 and C2 class.

Dr Braybrook is humorous. He has a dry wit.

But he's a good Chemistry teacher. =)

He's quite interesting to listen to.

As for Bio, um....FAST FORWARD PLEASE.

Anyway, here fares my life of a college student with 5 A Levels.

Ooh, it feels so weird to be calling myself a college student when I only just turned sixteen! LOL

I should be in Form 5 now, taking SPM :'(

Ahhh the nostalgia's really setting in now....

My tutor group is seriously mixed, and quite fun.

We have themes for everyday.

Music Monday

Quiz Tuesday

Woeful Wednesday

Thursday Assembly

YouTube Friday

My group for Quiz Tuesday is fixed.

There's 3 of us : Zheng Xue, Richard and I

Okay, we've been last for the last 4 weeks (!!) :S in a row.

But I'm sure we'll improve......someday.... :)

But anyway, it's fun ^_^

My prep prefect is nice too.

Her name is Alisa, she's from Latvia.

She stays in Paul House and her room is super duper big, bigger than mine in Bell House anyway :'(

But I like living in Bell House :))

The cleaner, Helen, is like the nicest person ever.

And my House Parent is um...okay...

So Yeah.

Can't blog anymore.

My "Enduring Love" essay is calling my name.

I wanted to finish it yesterday, but as you all know, the lazy person I am, delayed it.

2 and a half more paragraphs to go!!!!

Then I can watch "MAID IN MANHATTAN".

I borrowed it from the library heheheh :)

I'm over the moon for my IGCSE results.

Though I feel that I should've done a bit better...but oh well.

The results were MUCH better than I expected.

I actually dreamt that I was going to get Cs and Bs.

And mum and dad would be screaming at me.

And I'd be like the stupid loser of a century.

BUT anyway, I'm happy.

I was so happy for the whole day.

I tied my hair into pigtails. :p (Hey! Mr Lawrence says it looks cute! LOL)

I couldn't sleep after mum told me my results at 4.30am.

And I made up for the lack of sleep in Biology class. LOL

I slept.

Only for a few minutes k.

Today's Wednesday afternoon and the first Wednesday afternoon that I'm free since school started thank goodness.

I'm enjoying it, although I know I should be studying.

Okay, I will *try* to study.

It can be so boring here.

I'm dying for some new movies or dramas.

SO please send me some mum!!!

OH YEAH.

Something happened in Dr Braybrook *my Chemistry teacher* 's class today.

I was answering his question.

I said "Thirty-two."

Dr Braybrook : "Twenty-two?"

Me : "*louder* Thirty-two."

Dr Braybrook : "Twenty-two" and wrote down 22

Me : *shout* "THIRTY-TWO!!!!!"

Dr Braybrook : "Sorry, did you say twenty-two or thirty-two?"

Me : == "Thirty-two"

"Oh, because I couldn't differentiate your 22 and 32. Where are you from?"

"Where do you think I'm from?"

"Penang?"

*inwardly withers* "NO, I'm from Kuching."

"Ah! Kuching. Cat city."

"OMG! How did you know that???"

"I've been there once"

"O.O"

"The way you speak your twenty and thirty sounds Irish" *laughs*

I was like total DOT DOT DOT cos I don't even know what Irish people sound like! LOL

hahahhaha

IGCSE results coming out soon!

Approximately 5 hours time!!!!!!

It's already Monday in Kuching but still Sunday night in Shrewsbury!

I don't think I can sleep today, mum is definitely gonna call me the moment she finds out the results!!!!!!!!

Saturdays

Hey I just got back from Shrewsbury town and restocked up on my food supply for the next one week.

Sha's at Loughborough University now, having her final Robotics Competition.

Fingers crossed that she can win the competition.

I went for Thai at Royal Siam restaurant with Hui Cin and Anas.

I ate beef.

I feel so bad, I've been eating SO MUCH beef lately, but the chicken is not nice, so I'm in doubt whenever i see chicken on the menu.

Gonna go to student kitchen and cook instant noodles with Hui Cin later.

Am so sleepy now.

I had a tremendous stomachache when I came back.

I had a Bio and English test today.

I hope I did okay.

And I also have a Maths test on Monday on the ENTIRE C1 book that we're apparently supposed to self-study all on our own, for the past 2 weeks.

But I had no time to study it, I'm so doomed.

Shuyi, Laurel they all went to Birmingham today.

I was lazy to go, so I stayed in Shrewsbury :*

Tomorrow morning I am 101% sleeping in (as usual for Sunday mornings hahaha)

Cut me some slack, I wake up between 6am and 7am everyday. :/

And catch up on my sleep in Bio or Econs class hahahahah.

Mum, if you're reading this, it's only SOMETIMES-. NOT ALL THE TIME, IT'S JUST SOMETIMES.

Ish

Ish!

I have an essay due tomorrow for Mr Lawrence's class and i. am. screwed.

I'm only writing my second paragraph and I think I will print it tomorrow.

Plus, I have to do my Bio practical's results table and graph.

Also due tomorrow.

And I also have a Biology test tomorrow, on water, carbohydrates and lipids.

I am SO doomed. :)

Oh did I mention?

I also have maths homework :)

About a million questions.

Due on Wednesday.

Oh m gee!

On a better note, I've got the results of all my Saturday tests back.

C2 Maths was alright, I only got 95%, which kinda sucks.

Can't believe I substituted (x,y) into the, ugh, wrong side of the equation!!

WTH!

Chemistry was okay, I got 90%, which kinda sucks too :(

Ugh, my econs was an epic failure.

64%, how embarassing, I'm never gonna live this down.

Oh wait, I will because I've gotten worse in Econs before (ie a D!!!!)

Anyway, I'm off to do my English, Bio and Maths now.

I'll wish myself luck, as I'm gonna need it. Very. Badly.

Hey guys.

Sorry I haven't been updating.

Internet in my room is really variable and keeps disconnecting.

Hmm...my first days of school were pretty boring.

I was down with a cold (sore throat and fever) the first few days, so I could barely keep my eyes open during classes.

Now I'm left with the flu, but I hope I'll get better very soon.

Um, it wasn't really stressful the first few days of class, except for English and Economics, because I've joined the September intake classes, and they are WAYYY ahead.

I wish we could go faster for Chemistry though, cos our AS exam is on May 21st and actually, I feel that we can go faster than the speed at which the teacher is teaching.

But Biology is O.M.G.

Mrs Newton-Badman sometimes talks really fast and during Bio, I just feel soooo sleepy, that i zone out.....*occasionally*.

Not just me kayyyyyy.

Daniel, Bele and Shu Li too! :O

S1 Maths is pretty alright, I'm not a big fan of stats, but Mr Harding is really funny.

C1 and C2 is total o.m.g.

I don't really understand what Mrs Jesshope is teaching, so I just do self-study.

Word of advice. Don't be dumb like me and take 5 A Levels. k?

I have a grand total of ONE free period a week and it's gone now cos I have Bio catch-up class on my one and only free period!

^&*@()@&*# Totally!

Twilight and prep times are sometimes taken for additional catch up classes and they are KILLER.

Yesterday we had round one of Saturday tests.

I had 3 tests, one after the other.

First was C2 Maths on Chapter 4, Circles and Coordinate Geometry.

Thank goodness, after days of practising, I managed to do it all!

Then was Chemistry.

I managed to finish all (they were mostly calculations, my favourite! ) but my handwriting was horrible in it, because I was sooo squeezing for space ><

After that, I had to rushhhh to main hall to take test no. 3

which was Economics

It was 3 questions, 6, 7 and 12 marks respectively.

I think I'm quite screwed for that econs test. AHHHHHH.

OH, I have a Biology test on Tuesday, as preparations for our first Bio Saturday test on Saturday.

Ish!
