The Last Day Of The Twelfth Month

##1 - IELTS

Scored an overall band of 7.5. Sounds impressive, but to my astonishment, I scored 6.0 only in the Writing section, which was totally unbelievable. So it wasn't surprising that University of Bristol and London School of Economics have rejected me by e-mails in my face without even looking through my application.

I'm sure I could definitely do much better than that. Nonetheless, what's done is done.

##2 - Personal Statement

Having drafted for, like, 3762574652 times, I have finally completed my personal statement. Find it pretty self-praising, silly and boastful though. Wonder whether the British would buy it and be convinced or not.

Datin hasn't checked through it yet though, as she's still in her holiday mood. So there's still hope. Fingers crossed.

##3 - UCAS Application

This is the most boring, monotonous task ever. Seriously. I hate filling up forms and details one-by-one on-line. It's killing me. Hate it when my patience was challenged.

##4 - Cupcakes

Joined a random baking session at Amanda's place and it went successfully! Didn't know baking was my hidden talent! As if! Though the whole process was kind of tiring, I did enjoy myself.

On a side note, driving all the way from KL to Shah Alam and reaching the destination safely was definitely an unforgettable milestone in my driving history. It somehow did boost my confidence level to a certain extent, having involved in road accidents, like, twice?

##5 - Christmas Party

Kiki organised a Christmas party at his place, again. The only difference is, this time around, I drove to his place instead of asking Dad to fetch me. Oh, and I didn't get lost! Haha. I think I deserve some credit here, as I have just proven that not every girl has an awfully bad sense of direction.

Saw the same old faces there -- Karen, Vei Kit, Jolene, Mun Horng, Boon Huei, Shiuk Yean, Lyn Huei and Kian Hui. But Louis didn't show up! What on Earth? Will shoot him to death if I see him next time. Okay, I'm just kidding; murder is a death-eligible offence in Malaysia.

Nevertheless, I was quite shocked to see Stephanie and Kaijie there because I thought it was supposed to be a secondary schoolmates' gathering like last year. You got me, Kiki. So you can imagine how awkward the atmosphere was at Kiki's room initially.

We had dinner, drank a few glasses of wine, gossiped, showed-off our laptops, and played several random games. Everything reminded me of all the fun we used to have in high school, which was kind of sweet and memorable.

Went home without taking any group pictures and before the real party even started. Well, too bad; I had a curfew. Sigh. What a letdown, I know. Anyway, the whole night was certainly well spent. Thanks for all the joy and laughter, people!

##6 - Spams-free Blog

Kiki removed the chat box on my blog without even asking my permission and telling me why, as if he runs my blog. But still, thank you, because I don't have to deal with those idiots who always seem to have nothing better to do other than spamming my blog with stupid remarks and links.

Fellow readers, from now onwards, if you have anything to share or comment, please leave it under the comment section of each post. I promise I'll reply within 48 hours, and I'm sure that's efficient enough. Spams are not welcome, you hear me.

##7 - 2 Days Of Normal Life

I decided not to login to my Facebook and Twitter accounts for 2 days in an attempt to test and see whether or not I can resist the temptation and addiction. Apparently, I succeeded! Mission accomplished! But it's not as easy as I thought. I guess I'd die without the Internet, so do other younger generations in the entire world.

##8 - Temporary Nerd

I hate burning the midnight oil but I don't seem to have other options as I always procrastinate and do last-minute revision. Edexcel examination is coming soon.

Went to the library to study a few times but the outcome wasn't really positive. Mom paid quite a lot for the examination fees, so I can't afford to screw it up. Wish me luck.

##9 - Bookaholic

Number of books read this year excluding textbooks : 5 (what a pathetic one-digit figure)

No. 1 : TheUndomestic Goddess

Rating : 7/10

No. 2 : Where Rainbows End (one of my all-time favourites)

Rating : 9.5/10

No. 3 : P.S. I Love You

Rating : 5.5/10

No. 4 : Sweet Valley Saga - The Fowlers of Sweet Valley

Rating : 6.5/10

No. 5 : Cindy Ella

Rating : 5/10

##10 - Sungkai Trip

Went to a hot spring near Sungkai, Perak. It was a nice place; wonder why the Ministry of Tourism never discovered its natural beauty and promoted it to other nations. Had I not been there, I certainly wouldn't have noticed its existence. Seriously. Enjoyed soaking my legs in the hot water. Bear in mind, the water temperature was as high as 60 degree Celcius.

There's a small water park nearby as well. The slides were awesome. Too bad I can't swim, or else it's going to be more exciting.

Entertainment-free Day

The scholarship matter was finally solved! And it's settled peacefully! Felt so relieved, thank goodness. So now there's only one more thing that's bugging me --- the credit balance in my student account which went missing all of a sudden. I hope the college's accounting and finance department would take action and clear up the mess quickly.

Went to the library later on to do some revision. Apparently, isolating yourself from all kind of entertainments helps. Studied the Morrisons case study and attempted a few Economics objective questions. Though it wasn't the most productive revision session ever, well, at least I did something.

Was shivering like mad in the library that I started to feel sleepy and lose my focus. Should have brought my jacket along. Too bad. Wanted the librarian to lower the air-conditioning's temperature so badly but I just didn't have the guts to make such request. Secretly whispered so that the librarian could hear me, but of course, I failed. Miserably.

Since I couldn't concentrate at all, I decided to go out for lunch with Leon, Issac and a junior called Yee Me at RRC. Asked Eunice to join but she refused; can't believe that she chose books over food! Haha. The four of us talked about a lot of weird but funny stuffs --- from education to the owner of Starhill Gallery to who are our mutual friends --- since none of us shared anything in common. Anyway, the Fish 'n Chips I ordered tasted pretty good, so it was totally worth it and my lunch break was well spent.

On a side note, saw a lot of juniors register and visit the college today. So I guess next semester's intake is going to be super huge. And my cohort, which will have about 15 people left only next semester, is likely to be the minority group. Again. Sounds sad, but we are united, so nothing will crush our spirit and that's what makes us so unique.

Alright, shall end my random story here. It's revision time.

Wonder since when my blog becomes so diary-like?

So yeah, this is the boring diary of a boring student with a boring life. How boring.

Till then.

p/s : I still have the 'Buy 1 Ticket Free 1 Ticket' voucher with me, which is only valid until the end of December. 2 more days to go. What movie should I watch? And with whom?

Extortion

The college is trying to extort me again. This time, they sent a payment memo to my house, demanding RM3XXX from me. Yes, you hear me. RM3XXX.

I seriously don't understand why the administration system of a private college can be as lousy, pathetic and horrible as this. Oh, and you know what? This is the 63562715698th times something stupid like this happened to me.

First and foremost, yes, my scholarship was reduced to 50% initially as I did fairly poorly in my college test last semester. But I achieved a GPA of 3.67 later on in the Edexcel examination, which entitled me to reinstate my once lost scholarship. I quickly got the form, followed the procedures strictly, attached a certified copy of my results and applied for the reinstatement; so I'm very sure I'm still holding the 100% merit scholarship.

Secondly, to everyone's surprise, I did exceptionally well in my third semester's college test, having scored a GPA of 3.75. Which means, I was able to maintain my scholarship for the very first time and I don't have to pay a single cent for the next semester! So the reason why I received such a silly piece of document from the college all of a sudden remains a big question mark in my head.

Thirdly, there's a credit balance of RM2XXX in my account. It is clearly stated in the previous invoice and I swear I didn't make up that figure myself. If they want to argue with me on that, I can show them that paper right in their face! So instead of me paying them, the college actually owes me RM2XXX! And I thought my calculation is bad.

I'm going to make some noise tomorrow and if I don't get a satisfactory explanation or a reasonable answer, I'll not make life easy for them. If this is what they want, then go ahead! I'll fight until the last drop of my blood.

Every semester I received a dumb payment memo and every time I was asked to pay a ridiculous sum of money. Everything is computerised but the same mistake was made over and over again. I have had enough of it so stop giving me lame excuses! Seriously! Is this some sort of joke? Because it's not funny! Not at all! Don't take me for granted, okay? Will they ever learn from their mistakes?

Thank you, college. You have made my day.

I have lost my faith in you. Completely. Good job on that.

Moron.

Head-shaking Moment

Found this interesting line while reading my Business Studies textbook and I went completely speechless.

Oh God. Check it out yourself.

When President George Bush said, "More and more of our imports are from overseas", his intention was probably to say that more and more of US consumer goods are imported.

Excellent justification. What more can I say? Haha.

Okay. Back to studies.

Till the next post!

Oh dear.

Thank goodness it's all past tense.

Well, everyone has their very first time for everything.

The following pictures were taken when I was in Form 2 and extracted from my Friendster account.

Don't get too surprised.

I set this as my display picture on Friendster. I miss that cute green shirt and my braces-free teeth! May Kei and I looked so innocent and young and...... different in those days.

Hah! So I was the so-called librarian who loved to act cool in front of the camera (well, for the record, I still love to act cool). This is totally unbelievable.

I now present you : May Kei's and my signature lala pose! Gosh, high school life was so fun! Those crazy stunts we did were just memorable. So I guess it's normal that I say I miss my high school to a certain extent?

On a completely unrelated note, 1 hour and 30 minutes more to go before Christmas. Merry Christmas people! =)

Note to 0907-ers : Abandon your studies and stop being a nerd for one minute. Enjoy your day.
