Results for the First Examination...

It's been a week after the one week holiday, before that week was the week of the first monthly exam. The teachers had finished marking the papers and the verdict's out...

On the first day back to school, we got 5 papers back, which is quite rare. The teachers can sometimes take a month to finish marking the papers and we would always beg the teachers to be faster, which always annoys them... We received our Malay, English, Chinese, Biology and Moral papers. I knew my marks were going to be low, but even when I took my paper and saw the mark, somehow I still felt disappointed at my own result.

We didn't get any papers on Tuesday because the whole class was to attend a speech at Jotic. It was about career that we can try to explore in our own country, that is the palm oil industry, the rubber plantation industry, the timber industry and the coco plantation industry. Each topic was explained by a professional in that specific sector. Before we attended the speech, I thought that it was going to be a very boring one. But during the speech, I was actually quite interested about the topics explained and started to daydream if I could have a chance in the industries. There was also a mini exhibition, and honestly, it wasn't as interesting as my expectation. However, overall I still liked the whole event.

Wednesday was just not my day, the subjects that I had high expectation turned out quite bad... The marks of Physics, Maths and Additional Maths was revealed. I just couldn't believe it, but it's the reality... The next day, the result for our Chemistry was out and once again, I felt disappointed and down, somehow I felt that I can't lift my head up to see the others...

The last subject we got was History, it was my only hope of pulling my grades up, but I got a low mark and it was just not going to help me in anyway...

Well, I guess I'll have to do something to turn the tables of my own game (whatever that meant^^)... ... ... ...

So zzz......

Today was a very busy day for me...

In the morning, I had to go for tuition just like usual. After that, I didn't went home, instead, I went out for lunch with Lynn. We had planned to go to an education fair. We went to a place I had never been to, I called something a bit spicy, but it was kinda good. The drink was quite special, it was teh tarik mixed with cendol, cincau, coconut milk... It may sound weird, but I really liked it^^.

After lunch, we went to the education fair, it was my first time coming to a fair like this, I didn't know what to expect (Actually, the reason why I was there was because my father had told me to expose myself to these events and maybe find out or learn so that it will be easier to plan for my own future). In the hall, there were so many sections, I just followed Lynn who was planning to study furthermore in business and management. I myself hadn't really decided what to look for, so I just took whatever brochures I can reach for. There were just so many courses, and I was interested in all of them... so tough to choose... hope I can decide one day...After going through every courses briefly, we went home hands full with brochures.

I had a rest at home and needed to prepare for an appointment with the dentist (needed to tightened my braces, ouch!) and guess what happened... I found out that the appointment card was lost! I called mom who was in Kelantan, and she told me that the card was with her... I can't just go to Kelantan to get the card! In the end, I was nagged by my father for my careless mistake.

Today was so tiring for me as I'm not used to going here and there in one day... I'm gonna Zzzz...
(-@-) ^^

A special day?

There was suppose to be a meeting at my friend's house at 8:00am in the morning for our PE folio, unfortunately, I ended up waking up at 8:45am!! In a hurry, I snatched my notebook and headed to her house. I was so embarrassed when I reached there. Further more, her mom was there... After her mom left, I was later told that my friends actually went to my house earlier to call me. They even rang the doorbell for a very long time... and I still didn't know when to wake up... how embarrassing is that for one morning...

In the evening, my family was already sitting in the living room for Sheng. We had made a surprise for him as it was his birthday. My mom had planned for his mom to come all the way from Kelantan. My aunt was to wait in his room and surprise him and we will all go for a splendid dinner at Bei Jing Lou. We waited and waited......

At about 8:30pm, Sheng finally came home from an exhausting day, he had to work overtime. He went into his room as expected and we heard a sudden laughter from our aunt. I guess both of them kinda missed each other after 3 months...

We all went to Bei Jing Lou and get to enjoy our dinner. One of our family members was missing, that is my brother. He was attending a motivation camp in KL. He was the one wih the most appetite in our family, pity he can't come...but we did something for him, we took the pictures of the dishes served and was going to show him what he had missed (evil huh?). My mom also bought a cake, it was just absolutely delicious. It was a chocolate one, but the cream wasn't too thick, it was just nice, sprinkled with coco powder... and there were also fruits in the cake, iced ones! When we ate it, it felt like heaven... just...speechless.

After we had our dinner, we went to one of my mom's college's house because mom wanted to get some stuff. When we were there, we "explored" the house. Nearly forgot, there's a plant outside of the house and a bird will always sleep on that tree. The weird thing is, it had slept there, in the same position, for one year. About 2 hours passed and we said our goodbyes and went home... ...

I know it's very late to say this, but...Happy Birthday to Ngoh and Sheng......

March Holiday

March holiday......

Today is the first day of the holiday, I was very excited as this is the day we celebrate Mann's and Ngoh's birthday. Earlier, we had already decided that we should celebrate at the Pizza Hut located in a shopping center^^. After taking a long time dressing up (I was not the outgoing type...), I went to Ngoh's house to wait for Hui. After waiting for about 20 minutes, she finally came. We were going to start nagging as we had waited for such a long time, but... she gave a reason saying that the traffic light had gone wrong (what a bummer for the day!). At the shopping center, we met the other girls and went to Pizza Hut. A few days ago, we actually invited a teacher, and he didn't give an actual answer so, we called him and he said he was coming. After ordering, we chatted as we wait for the meal. It was raining heavily and the teacher started talking about a few uncanny incidents in the rain, and weirdly, we were laughing our heads off. Even when we were having our meal, we were still laughing because he kept saying so many funny things. I told Hui that I may not digest well because I was laughing nonstop! While settling the bill, the teacher offered to pay for the 2 birthday girls, cool huh?

Later, we walked to the stationary shop opposite to find a gift for another friend of ours. It was a pity as we cannot celebrate her birthday because she went to Malacca... We bought cute stuffed toys for the birthday girls^^. Most of the girls were getting bored at the shop and they decided to went to the stationary section in the shopping center. I stayed with Hui who wanted to stay back to look for a cute toy chain for her phone. She was searching for a specific one, which matches her birth date. After a search through 3 types of chains, we still can't find it. In the end, she bought a cute bear and we went to meet the other girls.

Hanging out at the center for about half an hour, Xun and Mann went home. The rest of us were walking all around until we were tired. After about 4 hours, we finally decided to go home. Ng and Ngoh went home first as her mom came earlier. Hui and I needed to wait a little longer as she lives in another area. Both of us sat at a bench and chat. About 10 minutes later, her mom came and I hitched a ride back home.

At home, I have a short tea-break and watched TV for about an hour. It was about 5:45 evening, I started to do my house chores. I cooked the rice and had to wash dozens of plates (which I don't quite enjoy). Later, I had to clean the floor of the bedrooms, which needed to be cleaned every week. I didn't do it during the weekend which should be my routine. I guess this is my own fault, having to do it on the first day of the holiday. Having a weird mood, I somehow decided to "mop" the floor with a cloth. Using my hands and a very old and ragged cloth, I wiped the floor and it took about 20 minutes to finish the whole area. It was actually quite fun^^. After that, I need to wash the toilet. Scrubbing for 20 minutes, I finally finished my chores.

It was already 7:30 at night, I took a warm shower (it was raining for days on and off) and went to have my dinner. When I thought I can now relax and have a lovely dinner, my brother did something... He gave me a bowl of soup that had at least 20 pieces of tofu, well I do like tofu, but it was suppose to be filled with vegetable and tofu... The whole bowl, with only tofu!!

Today, even thought it was just like any other day, I think that we have to go and capture every small moment to know that every day is a special day^^.

The first exam...

February, March...

The first monthly exam is finally over... As I sat back, thinking about the last few days, I found out that I had not been doing my best. Could it be that I have not learn to adapt to this new environment? Could it be that I did not use my time wisely to study for the exams? It is already March, the SPM and STPM results are out, many I've heard, some did their best, some not too good too. I'm starting to feel giddy because of the new semester, wondering too, how could I cope with this new life. The new subject, new teachers, a new environment... From January until now, many schoolworks are given, and I have not finished them. So many things undone, could I handle this? It's going to be less than a year and a half before I finally face the exam, the exam that will decide whether I can have a bright future, or a doomed life... I guess for now, I'm going to go with what's in front of me, and hope that it will be okay...
