   Uwaah!

You know what? I just realised that i really really really need to start studying. My Term Tests start on week seven, and tomorrow's week four! I have so many things to do, I don't know where to start! Because I don't know what to do first, I start procrastinating, and then... I'll never do anything productive! Like right now. -_-; Maybe I should start by outlining my quiz dates. Tuesday: Electronic Devices quiz. Next Wednesday: Biochemistry and Reading quizzes. Next Friday: Maths quiz. The week after next, my EDevice Lab Test and Java lab test. The folowing week is my term test. GAAAHHH!!!! I'm going to cry! -_-; On a brighter note, my friend has decided to burn Tsubasa for me!!! I was so happy when he said that he would! Yay! ^^ Now I get to watch the Tsubasa anime! Hopefully I'll get the cds tomorrow, and then I can watch. But I'll have to study first. School sucks sometimes, ne? I wish y'all the best in everything. I understand that a lot of you people out there are also struggling with tests, quizzes and whatnot. So I wish you guys luck, and wish me luck, too! Take care, God Bless. I refuse to lose to exams! ^^ ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   It has been a hectic week!

I haven't posted for quite awhile... school has really dragged me down. I have quizzes lined up for the next few weeks, assignments to do, homework to hand in. the subject that really irritates me right now is Java Programming. Public void static class Applet implements ActionListener crap... -_-; So let me recount what had happened over the weekend. Saturday, there was a function I had to attend, and I spent the whole day weaving coconut leaves. Don't ask. It's too complicated to explain. After the day of deafening music (really, the music truly was too loud! Damn those speakers!) an aunt and cousin of mine came to visit. Gah! I was going to take a shower, dressed only in my bathrobe, and they cam a-knocking, I practically ran into my room to change. -_-; Sunday, I went out with my friends. We went visiting, which means visiting each other's houses, and every house we went to we had to eat something. The next morning my stomach was a bit upset. I went to about nine houses, which by then it was already eight P.M. And I had class the next day at eight A.M. I'd bailed out halfway through the trip, so that I could have some sleep. On Monday, during lecture, most of my friends were like half-asleep. -_-; I was tired enough without going through the whole trip! I'm... going to need to study for my Java quiz. Public static main void... I don't like Java! All the best minna. Take care, God Bless. I thought this pic was real cute! ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Gah!

I am so not looking foward to waking up at six tomorrow. Why do I have to have Electronic devices lab at eight tomorrow? -_-; Still, I'm going to have to admit that school's taking up so much time! I barely have time for anything else but school, because by the time I get home, I'll be too tired and will have to have things done. I'm going to have to forsake my net time, as well as my tv time. Oh, well. Serves me right for choosing this course in the first place. Though, of course, at that time, I didn't think of the workload. My lecturer says that those in my course are clocking around 33 hours every week, while other courses clock around 27 hours. Really? I was surprised to hear that. Let's count, then. Eight times three plus five times two plus one. That gives... 35? Wow. -_-; Now I'm getting depressed. On a better note, I bought a new manga yesterday! Superpsychic Nanaki. The story's really cool. ^^ And I finished reading The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok series. The ending was real sad. And, I found out that the video store is selling Machine Robo Rescue VCDs! I was so happy! ^^ It's quite a childish anime, but I totally love it. ^^ I can't help falling for adorable kawaii little kids piloting mecha. ^^ Well, I'll have to go. I'll update next week, maybe. Thanks for all your support, minna. ^^ All the best to all. Good luck with life, and God Bless. You guys are the best! I love y'all! You are sad because you are suppressed Why are you sad? [amazing pictures] For darker people brought to you by Quizilla ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Heya..

Am totally all tuckered out. Today's the first day of the new term, and it'll take some time to get used to. I mean, waking up at six and only getting back home at six isn't what I've been doing for the past two months. Well, I'll tell y'all how school was. First period was a two hour lab. Electronic Devices and Circuits. I got to tinker with all those equipment, which I haven't seen for quite awhile, and most of us had already forgot how to operate the beastly things. Then we had Biomedical Fundamentals. Which, misleadingly, something like chemistry. And I thought I'd escaped that subject when I enrolled into this course. -_-; After that, I had Engineering Maths 2. A lecture on the limits of a function. Again, I never thought that I'd have to start cracking on the first day of school. Then I had lunch. At one, I had BioFund again, a lecture this time, and I'd forgotten how uncomfortable the seats in the lecture theatre were. Then there was something called Technical Communication Skills: Listening, Reading and Oral Presentation. Of which, most are online work, so I don't need to attend so many of these classes. ^^ But I'll have to make oral presentations, which are definitely nerve wrecking. Well, I also had to buy the student notes for all the subjects, and I had to withdraw money from the ATM. Which was my first time actually withdrawing money! But now I have to replace the money I took out. -_-; Less money for manga. And the thing that annoys me the most is that tomorrow, while all my friends are coming to school at ten, I have to reach school at eight, because I have my new subject, Sociology. Ugh. And none of my friends took that subject! Most of them chose Japanese. And I'll have to make new friends all over again. Not that I don't like making new friends, it's just tiring. You have to exchange contact numbers and all. -_-; On a good note, I've just finished reading book 3 of Fullmetal Alchemist. T'was good! I loved the way Roy beat Edward! ^^ Current mood: All the best, and may God Bless, minna. ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Ooh...

It was the Eid two days ago, marking the end of the fasting month. Ate so much on that day. -_-; I think I gained a few kilos. Well, I got my time table,and Monday school'll start. I have a class at 0800 on that day. I sure hope I'll be able to wake up. I'll be taking Sociology this time! -_-; On Thursdays, school starts at 0800 and ends at 1900. :sigh: Well, gotta go. I write about my Eid experience later. ^^ All the best, minna. God Bless. ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Cleaning...

Lotsa cleaning to do. The windows need to be wiped, the curtains changed, the house entirely. Why? Because Eid Fitri is next week! Eid Fitri is a celebration to mark the end of the fasting month. There'll be lots of food, and for the young ones (which, thankfully still includes me, even if my birthday is coming up) money! The whole family will go to my grandparents' house on that day. There we'll eat food that is special fo rthe occasion. Then we'll receive 'green packets' essentially: money in small envelopes. ^^ That's the best part. During the next few days, we shall go visit my other relatives. Go around to people's houses, eat some tidbits or festive cookies, as they call it, and then recive money. Oh, and during these days, we'll be dressed in very nice (new)clothes, of which I've already bought. Mine's a dark pink dress. (Okay, more like baju kurung which is something like a dress. -_-; I don't know how to explain.) We're going to have so much fun! I can't wait. So now, it's back to cleaning the house. I still can't get the curtains off. Stupid hooks. Well, gotta go. Take care, God Bless. ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Mou...

There was a Basic Counselling workshop last Saturday, and I had to attend, since I'm a mentor. After that, we had games, and it was quite fun, even though it was really hot outside, and I can't eat or drink anything. So during one of the games, my group had to sit in a circle and answer questions. If we got it wrong, we would be hit with flour. So my black pants was hit with a lot of flour. The next game was a water game. And I got hit with water. -_-; One of my friends commented: "Don't they know that flour and water makes dough?!" Of course, what do the facilitators care? They're males, anyway. And the dough comment was a bit cute, because in the fasting month, we normally bake festive cookies,and use a lot of flour. That flour game was a massive waste of flour that can be used for baking cookies. -_-; Some people. Enough of the games. I found out that one of my friends has a boyfriend! I knew that they've been friends for quite a while, but I just found out that they're officially going out. I'm happy for her. And this boyfriend of hers is a really sweet and romantic guy. He came all the way from home to school (we both had to attend the workshop) just to see my friend and send her home. And his home is quite far from hers, I might add. Isn't that sweet? ^^ I wish I could have a boyfriend like that. Not that I'm looking. Found this quote somewhere. Thought you might like it. I agree with completely. Anime rules! "American cartoons place characters in situations; anime places situations around characters... anime characters are not like fictional characters but more like fictional people; their actions stem directly from their personalities, and not just as a means to move the story's plot forward... we are made to sympathize with them, and not simply be entertained by them..." ~John Oppliger~ I'm signing off now. All the best, minna. God Bless. ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   -_-;

My weekend was tiring. Saturday, I had to wake up early. You see, during the fasting month, you have to wake up at four in the morning to sahur, i.e. eat before you start fasting. Usually you'll get to go back to sleep at around six am. But that day, I had volunteered for a youth programme, and we had to be there at 7.45 in the morning. Which was way too early! I'd slept late the night before, because the anime was screened late on tv, and so, I was sleepy all the way on the bus. My friend and I purposely went out late, and we arrived there at around eight. So when we got there, it turned out that the briefing hadn't even started yet! Jeez! When it came to the dividing of chores, my friend and I quickly chose to cook. So there we were, along with three other girls, peeling onions and cutting them. I had the better end of it: I was the one peeling the onions, and not cutting them. We had to chop garlic and all. The irritating thing was that the boys, whose tasks were to boil and soak the rice needed (we were making porridge of a large scale: two huge pots.) were all sitting there and doing nothing. While us girls were cryong at the onions. Boys! Lucikly, though, the boys were then tasked with cutting up the meat. Smelly meat. Ew! In the afternoon, I went for mentoring. Tiring, really, explaining to my mentee the solutions to the maths questions while I'm fasting. And in the evening,I had to attend a function with my family. One whole day... t'was a tiring day. I was asleep by ten pm. Well, I shall take my leave here. Good luck, and God bless. My current state: ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.

   Hungry...

I'm hungry. I'm hungry hungry hungry!!! But I can't eat! That's because I'm fasting. It's the eighth day of the fasting month of Ramadhan, and today is my first day fasting. Why? Because my mensus has just ended and when you're having your period, you're exempted from fasting and the prayer. Not that it's a good thing. Since I wasn't fasting for seven days, I'll have to repay. Which means I'll have to fast for seven days next month. Not fun, when you're the only one fasting and everyone else is eating. -_-; The first day of fasting is always the worst because your body has yet to adjust to the new eating schedule: 4am and 7pm. So now I'm hungry. But I can't do anything about it. At least I'll have a great meal at dusk. Imagine those people hit by the earthquake in Pakistan, which is a Muslim country. They have to fast, and all, and it's winter there. And the rescue workers who are also fasting. They have it harder that I do. So I should be thankful. I shan't complain anymore. Well, today I went to school just to take a t-shirt. Then I went to the library, borrowed a couple of books, and went home. -_-; I had a chat with my dear old english teacher yesterday. When she heard I had a long holiday and that I was bored, she suggested that I find a job. I told her that I already did apply for one. So then she suggested that I read, and make a blog. I told her 'been there, done that'. She ran out of ideas and said: "I can't help you anymore." ^^; The South Asia earthquake is on the news right now. Seems that the survivors need a lot of medical assistance, and a lot of doctors had died in the quake. Still, there's quite a number of children pulled out alive from the rubble. At least, some good news. Well, I'm wasting energy typing. I should go. All the best, minna. God Bless. ^*^*^*^*^ I will not allow mediocrity. God Bless.
