Exams Rumblings…
Grr!!! >o<; Tried everything! To stay awake… Munch on some food, drink some water (which usually works) and going online too. Unfortunately, my eyes are still just as heavy typing this~ @_@! Hahaha ~ I’m going nuts soon, maybe! Just another three weeks of turmoil and cruel pure torture and then it’s all over. Yeah, well… Though no one can see this, not that I want to anyway, I just wanted to rant out a little~ Haha~ x) Back to hit the books!
Ganbatte!! ><;
A month and a half…
Or should it be one and a half month? XD
Whatever the case is, we have another month and a half (that’s the way I prefer it =D ) to SPM!! And though I am panicking (mostly on the inside), when I look at the book, my mind drifts off to some place~ ^^; Sounds like you too? Then I’m glad I am not the only one~ x_x
By the way… Selamat Hari Raya to those who are celebrating!! I went to three open houses in the past three consecutive days~ Feel so full~ XD First was Pn Maslinda’s, then my twin Syaliha, and finally Pn Rahayu. Syarifah didn’t invite me to hers, but oh well~ ^^; Pn Rahayu lives so near me, and I never knew!! +o+ Hema’s birthday party plus Deepavali open house coming soon, and so is our librarians’ farewell party… T_T
Last Friday… Our class had some “congress” of spilling out opinions… I wasn’t very much involved, because I think that I should not back stab anyone~ ^^; Not that they were doing that on purpose, but I didn’t see the point of giving my opinions… Just surprised that some teachers visited to my blog before! Wow… Hahaha~
And finally… Happy Belated Lunar Festival! This is beyond late, I know! XD But… That’s me! (Being procrastinator and all~)
Ah… How I missed the days when we (me and family members, especially cousins) played with candles, by burning every single one of them, especially all the colourful ones~! XD Then getting the melted wax all over the floor or corridor~ *udd* Too bad I missed the celebration this year at my grandmother’s house a week before the day of the festival T_T And got scolded by my mother~ Hehe~ Not my fault! My father is a little reluctant to go and so I have no other modes of transport to go there (no, I haven’t gotten my licence yet~ *cries*)
Anyhow~! I got some nice mooncake pictures I got from the internet… Do not eat your computer screens! XD

Nice dragon classic mooncake!

Girls, not to be mistaken for make up! Teehee~

Colourful cheese mooncakes!

Rose-shaped mooncakes!

(Right) Apple-shaped colourful mooncakes!

And finally, Japanese mixed with the Chinese culture! Bento-style mooncake set~ ^^
Thanks to sparklett.net for the beautiful photos, feel free to visit the original blog post regarding the mooncakes~ ^^
PS: I deleted my FaceBook and Friendster accounts. Nothing can make me turn back!!! Nothing, I tell you~ :D
PSS: Last picture of the day~ Hehe~ I got third placing for our closed bowling competition amongst the bowling club members! This is what I got, received just recently… :D

PSSS: The music players are starting to get on my nerves~ =.= People, please do put autoplay off on default, thanks! Sigh…
Principal’s Awards
Most of my classmates who applied for the Taylor’s College Principal’s Awards scholarship got their reply notification about two weeks before I had mine. And so, I got worried, thinking I might not have gotten it… On 16th September, I got an email saying I was short-listed for the interview on the 26th! I was surprised, but so darn nervous on the day of the interview~ XD I didn’t prepare myself much, but thank god they gave us briefing!
Some of the tips they gave us:
- Have a good first impression (how you dress and all).
- Handshake or friendly greeting.
- They’ll have small talk to calm your nerves.
- Down to the real business!
- Remember eye contact, and smile, too!
- Reflect/think on answers.
The lady who interviewed me had a lot of questions to ask! One after another, too! (Could be because after me there weren’t anyone else~ xD) I was just being myself, as what my mother told me to, and that was her only tip for me, apparently… ^^; She first asked about my email, of all questions? “Why did you choose reminiscence as part of your email?” My favourite word? Hahaha~ XP Then another random questions, and finally she started questioning me about time management and leadership skills qualities… They were a little tough!
“You are the president of the bowling club this year, do you think the club’s management is better under you as compared to the previous year?” and “Do you prefer working alone or with a team?” sort of questions~ T_T Some of my friends who went got only a couple of questions or so, it ain’t fair!! Haha~ But… I got the scholarship anyway… Yay to me!! :D Just received the email today… Congrats to the others who got it too! *dances*

Skipped school today… And hardly finished a model test paper ~ T_T Good luck to all the PMR students! ^_^ Also… To the 5 Science 1 people (other than me XD ) : stop studying oh! Too smart liao~ XP
Last One Standing…
In my entire life (so far, of course), I have never thrown up continuously for one whole day, or a majority of the day. I am definitely not complaining! Just being extremely grateful! Hehe~ ^^; My small immediate family all has experienced it, and recently (now) my dad is trying to recover… And I am the last one still not having to go through the seeing what my stomach churned for the past hour or so! Hope he gets well soon… The sight and sound of it all sounds nasty, really nasty… Oooh… :X Even though I am a Red Crescent society member, I wouldn’t want to ever get it myself~ T_T *crosses fingers*
Trial papers are slowly coming back to us, one by one… And I’m getting more helpless and depressed with each one that is being returned~ D: (Despite what I said in the previous post… Haha…) I admit I could have done better, but at least I work harder this time… At least I still have the real paper beginning in November later… Why so soon?! %$&W Hahaha~ Just kidding…
Everyone, all the best, yah! ^^
Ganbatte, Everyone!
Do not count what you lost; cherish what you have and plan what to gain because past never returns but future may return the lost! Do not regret it only when you lose something important! “Watch the things you gave your life to, broken; and stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools.” (If by Rudyard Kipling)
This applies to those of you out there who are saddened by any unfortunate events going on, and also those who are taking the important examinations this year. PMR is next week already, study smart everyone! And make sure you relax and do not get too stressed out! I can only wish you guys and girls all the best <3
Same goes to the Form 5 students who recently got back their trials or gerak gempur papers. Just strive harder for the upcoming papers. No use crying over spilt milk, there’s still time ahead of you… Also, do not count your chickens before they are hatched~ ;)
My parents have been emphasizing the few words for the past few weeks, I think I am going to go nuts soon! College, SPM, certs, focus, exam, studies to name the few! Amazingly, I am still sane till today, at least partially. Or you would not be reading this… XD Hehehe~
Best of luck everyone! Feel free to visit my links page! ^^
