Is Hank Green Awesome?

The answer to that is a resounding HELL YEAH!!!

It's Sunday people!!! I love Sunday mornings, enjoy Sunday afternoons and HATE Sunday nights....

Or I would hate it if there was school the next day XD Tomorrow, all the tiny students will flock back to the education black hole known as school, some unwillingly, some going only to see friends.

I do not understand the Malaysian school system, everytime they purportedly "change" the system, it either stays absolutely the same or in most cases: suck even more. Come on Malaysian Government!!! Do you want students who are all rounders or the usual fact vomiters? Did you know that neither of our ex-PM and ex-Education Minister's kids have undergone the bloody system? No! Both their kids went to Garden International which bases the curriculum according to the National Curriculum of England? Both have never sat for SPM or STPM! This should be an indication of how bad Malaysian Education is as the people (used to be) responsible for making the syllabus do not want their children to undergo it.

Anyway, this year is STPM exam year for Form 6-ers. I bet most of them envy me cause my finals are complete and I'll be off to uni while they slave away for another year. HAH!!! This year also happens to be PMR and SPM year for both my brothers so it will be fun watching them suffer too hehe.......

It's MMXI y'all and what a year it's gonna be.

Happy Dappy New Year!!!!

My New Year's Resolution: to complete last year's Resolution!

But this year I won't be doing it in Malaysia!

Because of my awesome score in my SAM finals, every university I have applied for has offered me a place. Yay!!!

I'll probably be bragging about this for the next few months so I'm warning all of you now. He he.......

It's still in the works but most likely I'll be off to Melbourne U, the top uni in Oz.

I had no idea that there was a "u" in Melbourne.....

I will miss everyone dearly when I leave but the term starts on the 28th of February. That means I have 2 months left here to enjoy the company of my wonderful friends before I jet off the the land of  super tall ang mohs.

Let's make these 2 months count y'all!!!

Final Thoughts for 2010

My last post of 2010.

It's a little nostalgic.

Another year has past while new one is about to begin.

A new year to me means new things, new experiences and new barriers to overcome while leaving behind all those that do not matter. Starting anew is one of the things I really want to do but can we really put things in the past behind us?

Sigh... Right now the damn women is yelling at something or another, the one thing I really want changed is never gonna.

Overdue Blog and My SAM Results

OMFG

I can't believe this.

I haven't blogged for so damn long.

Guess my last blog had an effect on me.

I was totally procrastinating.....

But I'm back people!!!!

Well, the main reason I stopped blogging was that I has exams in November aka 2 weeks of hell. I wanted to blog about my feelings about it after each day but didn't feel like it when I was at my laptop. DAMN YOU FACEBOOK!!!!! (However, "2 weeks of hell" described the whole ordeal perfectly.)

Before I rant any further I would like to wish all those near and dear to me a Merry Belated Christmas And a Happy New Year! I had a good haul of Christmas presents this year, I would take a picture of them but unfortunately, most of them were well............ eaten.

So! What have I been up to these past 2 months? Hmm......

Well, I watched HP7. Yay!!! Best movie in the series.  The part when Harry cheered Hermione up by dancing was so cute! And the MOM scene was A-wait for it-MAZING!! Runcorn and Cattermole win at life and the part where Ron was kissing Mary Cattermole was freaking funneh!!! I'm hoping Part 2 would be even more action packed!!

Also from Dec 17 - 25, I went to China where there is no Facebook or Youtube ::shudder:: I also didn't feel like blogging there due to the fact that I can only access it for an hour at a time for the first few days then had no access for the rest of the trip! Thanks Dad. (Sarcasm hand raised) I"ll post my trip here as soon as I upload my pictures to the comp :D

Christmas was a boring day for my family, given the fact that my dear mum absolutely banned us from going to any parties that day ::grumble grumble:: Guess what, instead we spent Christmas cleaning the house FOR THE 3RD YEAR IN A ROW.

Dec 26: Iven's Party. I'm sorry to say that I didn't take much pictures but it was a great one. Yummy delicious food: Devilled Eggs, Spaghetti Carbonara, Salad in Balsamic Vinegar, Herby Lemon Chicken and Chocolate Cake (<--courtesy of Cat)...... Drool...... and not forgetting Iven's signature Baked Potato. MMMmmmmmm......... It was so good, I had 2! We (Iven, Cat, Ace, Jer, James Toh, BJ and Choi) played Truth or Dare with some help from my phone >:D Most of the dares involved kissing but most of them opted for a kiss on the hand instead except for the couple. *wink wink*

I'm forgetting something......

(No I haven't)

My SAM results!!!

I got an ATAR of .......

::Pauses for dramatic effect::

 

!!!!!!!92.05!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!

To all those not in the SAM lingo, this is a good score. An ATAR of 92.05 means I'm the top 7.95% of everyone who took this test. So you all know now that there is a grain of truth when I call myself the smartest girl in the world.

WHERE'S MY MENSA INVITE??

Of Procrastination and Halloween

My finals are tomorrow....

Nope, still don't feel anything....

Sigh.... I'm fucked

Procrastination is a horrible disease, but no one is bothered to make an effort to cure it. I have been putting off my studies for weeks now, yet I still don't feel compelled to study even with the finals so close

Don't even think about the 11th minute, try the 58th second!

Pretty accurate except I'm not out of bed before 1

What am I gonna do.... :(

I have tried many ways to motivate myself into studying

Sadly, the only person I cannot lie to is myself

Sigh.......

Today also happens to be Halloween.

Why can't Malaysia be fun!! I wanna go trick-or-treating, get free candy, lapse into a sugar coma and wake up 2 days later .

Drool.....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

As of now, I'm too lazy to type anything else ;P

Before Finals

I love the Pre-finals lul

Today, my college seems so empty. 8 people out of 21 came to class today. I had a chat with Chern Wei yesterday and it seems like the same thing is happening in school too. Students are too perdictable.....

Early study leave perhaps? Or something more sinister like going on a HOLIDAY!!! Gasp!!!

Personally, I never got the concept of study leave. Why in the world would anyone want to be stuck at home all day with only books for company....



You got that right!



And all those study technique talks!!!

I've already been forced to 101 of those, none of them said anything useful, just repetitions of each other. You know what, organiser of study techniqures, you want them to be useful and help us? Give us the final papers or better yet, the answer to the final papers! That would be extremely useful and make me a better student!! XD

"80% of the final exam will be based on the one lecture you missed and the one book you didn’t read."

A quote I found online. I find that it is a really useful way to desribe finals

It is the examination board's version of: "Fuck You!!"

 The thing about exams for me is that I just don't seem to fear them...

 

Sleep....



Bored......



...... until it is too late

DIE! DIE! DIE!

Yeah, that's my story. In perfect detail.

On a good note, today is the second last the of college! Whoop!!!

Live My Life

When you have all the necessary things for survival: food, shelter, clothes; you would want more than that. You want to take advantage of everything life offers you. Every oppurtunity for new experiences could be the latest crazy adventure.

So when I heard Adam Lambert was coming into town, I instantly knew what my next experience was: to go to a concert for the very first time and watch one of my favourite singers sing live!!

But someone else had other plans. That Bitch living with me said a down right NO! Even when I said that I would buy the tickets with my own cash and make my own way to the stadium. She didn't have to do anything for me. Absolutely nothing.

But no, I can't go. She claims that it's cause I have to study for my finals. She believes that I am just like her. She thinks I can study for hours on end and not get tired. She believes that good results stem from memorizing the entire freaking textbook!!!

When will she learn that I am NOT her. We may be related but we are two very different people. It's not a crime to want a life. I don't want to survive, I want to LIVE!

It's my life and if there are consequences, I will deal with them with or without you.

My family blows.

So instead of rocking on at the mega concert of the year with the supermegafoxyawesomehot Adam Lambert. I was stuck at home. Mindlessly Facebooking while banging my head on the wall. I didn't have the mood to study.

Whatever.

At least my time online yielded some preductivity on my part.

I found some of the latest HP7 posters

I predict many Harry/Hermione fanfiction will stem from this

Hey! That's the Elder Wand!!!

OMG! Finn in HP glasses and scar! How cool is this!!!

 I found Darren Criss' character picture in Glee!!! Yay!!!

Dying Young



Sunday night, 34 passengers stepped into the Delima Express bus, not knowing that, for some, it would be their final ride.

Of the 34, 12 people were killed while 23 injured.

Most of the dead were young and had their whole lives ahead of them. Many were students, one had just graduated, another was a teenager travelling for the first time by herself, all ready to visit friends while some others were young parents. They never reached their destination.

THE DEAD

Sharene Sofea Fadzry Tan, 18

Nur Shapika Baba, 19

Muhammad Farizuddin Talib, 19

Kam Khaw Tual, 19

Azizi Ajis, 20

Pau Khan Tual, 21

Cin Thawn Tuang, 21

Norazmi Abdul Karim, 24

Goo Chuan Heng, 34

Ng Sok Kuan, 52

R. Ramachandra, 52 (Bus Driver)

Pang Shi Moei, 57

One of them was even decapitated.

Of the injured, 6 were already discharged while 3 are in critical condition.

Their lives were cut short when the express bus, travelling from Malacca to the capital, hit the guardrail and ploughed into five vehicles heading in the opposite direction of the North-South Expressway near Simpang Ampat in Seremban.

The bus crashed through a guardrail and ploughed into five other vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. While the families morned the death of their loved ones, the rest of us want answers.

What caused the crash? Is the driver to blame? Do we need better buses? Does the fault lie solely on the weak guardrails?

Sadly this isn;t the first tragedy to happen like this. 3 years ago an express bus with 29 people on board crashed through a guardrail by the side of the NSE near Bukit Gantang and plunged into a ditch five metres below, killing 22 people.

The biggest tragedy is that most of the victims only just started living and haven't lived up to their full potential. Dying young is one of the cruelest fate destiny can throw at you.

I realize that death is just a part of life. We will be remembered by some as “good” people. Others will only remember bad things that we have done. The difference is, if we die young; we tend to lose out on many things: all the accomplishment we can achieve, pushing our potential to it's limits and find love.

There is a song by The Band Perry:

If I die young, bury me in satin,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove, go with peace and love
Gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em.
The sharp knife of a short life.




Many will accomplish things but are forgotten about once they grow old. We may not always be remembered but we still  have the chance of being something better. These people had so much more to offer and their death deprived them of opportunities in the future.

Live life to the fullest and never take it for granted

100th Blog Post!

I'll be doing a third Glee post in a row! Wow, never blogged a series before ;P Should be interesting. But before I do that I have an announcement to make.

*Dancing*

It's my 100th post y'all!!!

After 1 year and a half of blogging, I even have noticed changes in my writing skill. Though not for the better for some :P My jokes a less cornier now too! (though they still are....)

Back to my previous topic, I watched the Brittany/Britney episode on last week and loved it!!

I have a sudden urge to buy an albino python

Britney's cameo

I can hear the sounds of Ben-Jie getting a nosebleed :)

However the worse possible thing happened while watching this episode. I laughed.

Which, in my mum's opinion, is as bad as murdering someone. How am I related to someone who thinks a laugh is punishable by death? Stupid close-minded bitch! I don't deserve to be yelled at or get my hair fucking pulled when I laugh. WTF is wrong with that women!!!

/end rant

*fuming*

Ignoring that moron, I refuse to end my blog on an angry note.

Back to Glee, the songs in that episode were fantastic. Artie's version of Stronger really gave me a boost in my confidence and thoughts about my future, not the song's intended purpose but........

I have also watched episode 3. It was more spiritual that dramedy. (Kurt's dad got a heart attack) No memorable songs but it was an overall emotional episode. I nearly teared up at times....

Oh!! In other news, The Lost Hero is out today!!!

Yay!!!!

Glee New Characters!! Week-old news but Heh! IT'S MY BLOG

Whee!!! My 2nd Glee post in a row!

Malaysia is one of the worst places to watch the latest series from America. Just look at CSI, only after the whole season has played in the US then it premiers here!! Groan......

That being said, however, I managed to watch the first and second episode of Glee with the help of Mr. Net. You know, Inter Net :D

Yay!!!!!

Overall, I say Glee hasn't gotten any better but then it hasn't gotten worse either. The first episode introduced us to several new characters.

First there was Sunshine Corazon played by 16-year-old Charice Pempengco

She's the one on the right

Sunny is a tranfer student from the Philippines and she's got an amazing voice! She had a sing off with Rachel in the bathroom with Gaga's Telephone. Feeling threatened, Rachel attempts to sabotage her audition, giving the excuse that she loves Glee club too much to have another person steal their thunder.

As if I need another rason to hate Rachel....

So, Rachel gives Sunny directions to a local crackhouse, telling her that the audition takes place there. THAT BITCH! I won't say what happens next but I will say that Sunny never trusted Rachel again and left for Vocal Adrenaline.

Best part was when Sue Sylvester interupted their sing off with one word. SHUT UP!! I love Sue.

Another Character is Sam Something....

Gotta lose the Bieber cut

I'm still not so sure about Chord's singing. Sure he sang Millionaire with Artie but I was mostly listening to Artie, not him. Meh. Anyway, Chord's character Sam was suppose to audition but because Finn got kicked off the football team, Sam was reluctant as he is the new kid and hears what the others talk about the "Glee Guys"

Best scene:
Noah: You mouth is huge! How many tennis balls can you fit in there?
Sam: Well, I've never had balls in my mouth before...... Have you?

LOL

Finally, Coach Shannon Beiste

It's a women!

 She and Sue are instant enemies because she persuades Principle Figgins to slash the Cheerios budget by 10%! OMG!!!! For thr first time in Glee, Sue teams up with Will and play several childish pranks on Beiste.

Can you feel the tension?

But of course, Will got too nice after several pranks. Meh, he will never be as evil as Sue Freakin' Sylvester!!

So that's all the new characters. Tomorow I think I'll blog about the Britney episode! I meant to put 2 episodes in 1 blog but then this is too damn long already!!
