{The interview}

One word to describe it in a positive way:

CHALLENGING!

Dont feel like talking about it D:

However i did found out about something, only 55 people were selected for the interview (I feel honoured)

BUT ONLY 10 will get in!

{Busy DPA-ing!}

Since you're here already, why don't you try the impossible quiz?;)

And i'm on question 43. [edit: 63]

{OMGOMGOMG!}

I was in Physics lesson, when suddenly, my phone started vibrating on my desk.

And of course, i bent down and i picked the phone up. I think Mrs Lim saw, but i know she pretended not to. Thank goodness! That, of course was the first time.

Then, a lady told me i was shortlisted for the DPA interview for two courses, Mass Communications and Digital Visual Effects. My interview's on next tuesday at 3.50pm but i had to be there early.

While she was telling my that, my heart was beating like crazy, and i felt a sense of exhilaration. After putting down the phone, i felt my face went hot and the happiness i felt can't be described-really! I'm THAT DESPERATE to get into that course!

After getting the call, Wan Yu got it too! (:

So we were all feeling very very happy of course.

Actually in the morning, many people told me that there were a couple of people that were already shorlisted and i felt sad.

Then, Jocelyn got a call during contact time. And i was thinking, what about me??? Of course, i am happy for her.

After that, Wan Yu and i were sighing away. So that's when i decided to put my phone on my desk, into my pencil box. Hoping that it'll ring so that i can pick it up. And it did ring :D

You know, i can't get my hopes too high for now. I need to "pass" the interview.

I want them to notice that i have something special in me :)

And good luck to those waiting for the call too, i'm sure you'll get it! There's still a lot of time left until the 7th of August.

{Mixed feelings day!}

Today i woke up, feeling very very tired. Even though i had 8 hours of sleep you know! And i received an SMS from Riha saying that she and Aisyah won't be coming to school today.

Immediately, i thought of acting sick and not go to school too, cos' i know i would be soo lonely. But i did go to school anyway! :) And i didn't feel lonely, like duhhhh! Simply because i am not the only person attending class right?!

While walking to school, i thought, hmmm.. since Riha and Aisyah won't be around today, i might as well buy a packet of chocolates to stay in class to eat that packet during recess. And i went to the minimart to get it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. You know what? I think my classmates are a little *ahem* i don't know what to say. Cos' one of them brought a really big mango with a couple of kiwis, and another brought a bunch of grapes and a banana. I was like wahhhhh, is it like eat healthy food day? Haha!

And i don't think i will be able to do well for the chemistry test.

I was also reminded that there's only 88 days left to the O Levels.

I should've started studying a long time ago, but i'm only starting it now. I hope it isn't too late.

Plus, the weather today is still very very chilly. People are starting to fall sick. And i pray hard that i'm not one of them.

Don't have much to say today, i'm just starting to feel more dejected, as i have to stay back for extra lessons for almost every day of the week after school.

Oh yah! And my friend got a call from Nanyang Poly for the DPA thing D:

When's my turn? *sighhhhh*

{Neoprints! :D}

{It's coming!}

Excuse me for coming up with such a title, but really, the O Levels are approaching! And that title reminds me of a song by RAIN.

And today, i packed my bag for wednesday's timetable. How dumb of me isn't it. Thank goodness that the subjects today don't require us to bring textbooks but i did bring one extra Biology textbook, which to me, is heavy okay!

Anyway, i also had extra physics lesson after school, and Mrs Lim walked off at 4pm i think, cos' all of us were already like packing our bags and ready to leave, instead of listening to her lesson. So i think she is really really pissed off.

Actually, i hate afternoon lessons the most. It's like my mind would be so saturated and i'll always feel like dozing off (but i haven't done that before!) and hence, i am unable to concentrate, and is wasting my own time. *sighhhh*

Today, i also found out that there is a chemistry test tomorrow. Like what the hell okay. Maybe its because i didn't pay attention last week, and so i wouldn't know. The reason i am quite irritated is because its a test on 5 chapters which i am really weak at, and its upon 50 marks! Much like a common test right?

And during Social Studies lesson (which i enjoy the most) Mrs Chong mentioned that girls like to think a lot. And i think i agree on what she said.

Its true you know, once someone says something really hurtful or it made a deep impression on me, i'll keep on thinking and thinking about it, until i forget about it. And after a few days, i'll still think. So yah. Maybe this is the reason why we tend to wrong others and make terrible mistakes because of thinking too much.

The weather's getting really cold too. I practically wore my jacket for an entire day at school.

Oh! Below are some pictures :)


This is what i call LOVE :)


Act cute face >.<

And here are some pictures taken at the BBQ :D








We climbed up the monkey bar thing :D




This, is at Tampines Mall, on sunday :D

{Can you feel the intensity?}

Today i woke up, asking myself what day it was, and i actually felt like NOT going to school, partly because i woke up a little later then usual. Thank God i wasn't late today! Haha!

Alright. I've got good news, i started on my revisions already! YAYYYYY! Finally! I'm actually starting to do the Chemistry Ten Year Series (TYS).

And guess what, when i was in the train on Sunday, like Ohmygod! I see the latest Harry Potter books everywhere! x_x It's the hottest topic now i guess, everyone's talking about that.

I haven't bought my copy of it yet, but i already know the ending from a few friends who managed to read it in a day. They're like, so fast. I took a whole week just reading the Order of the Phoenix! Guess my predictions about the ending of the latest book was wrong, and J.K Rowling is actually going to make a sequel to the ending, i find it a little er, boring. Cos' once it finishes it should really finish, if not it'll be just like never ending goodbyes.

Actually i've finished with reading the Order of the Phoenix on Sunday, and i am going to lend Half Blood Prince from someone willing to lend it to me, i'm still asking around so yah :)

The weather these few days have been really cold too. I think its going crazy. One week its hot, and another cold. Honestly, i would prefer cold to hot. At least i won't be sitting at home, sweating like crazy and having no mood to study at all.

While its raining, i've actually attempted to capture a picture of the trees beside my house while there was rain, but it turned out that the 8 megapixels camera was still not good enough to capture. Felt a little sad, cos' the effect of the rain was really nice. Maybe someday, the technology would be advance enough for me to capture rain droplets. Haha, how stupid isn't it?

Oh! I also heard from a friend of mine, that his friend who is also studying Mass Communications in Ngee Ann i presume, is interviewing people already. I feel a little discouraged already. But, no matter what i'll still study hard, i really really want to get into that course! Plus, the dates for the interviews ranges from 23 July to 7 August, so there's still time left.

I must have faith in myself :)

Good luck to those who applied too yah!

One last bit: The blogskin i submitted on the 14 July got 200 downloads, and this site's about to reach 7000 hits from (don't know when but definitely not from when i started a few years back) But i think its March 2006.

I am very happy :D

{Untitled}

I didn't know what to put as title! Haha! Well anyway, i just finished up Helmi's blogskin! :D

Hmm, well yesterday i went for a BBQ (but it was actually more of a farewell party thing) and things got a little too saddening and emotional at the last bit. For me, i find farewell parties fun, and in a way i've learnt how to move on and not to be so sad for every single little thing!

This morning i also went for Biology class at 9am, it was supposed to end at 1pm but we finished our lesson objectives by 11pm so yay! I get to go home early.

And you know what? I still having people telling me that 4/9 is making them go stressed, like seriously, what's the problem? I'm getting a little too irritated. Isn't it supposed to be stressful this year? If you feel stressed then go find a way to de-stress!

And oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAZ, in advance :D The trumpet section celebrated her birthday today after band.

By the way, the latest Harry Potter book's out already, i wonder who died in the end. You know, this is the last and final book to the whole series. My guess is that Harry Potter died, cos' i heard J.K. Rowling doesn't want people writing sequels to her series. She wants it to end with her. And you know, after someone's died, he/she can never be revived.

Gosh, i just realised i'm a little crazy about Harry Potter, until i think i could blog plenty about that ;) I'm still in the middle of reading The Order of the Phoenix and it was much much better than the movie, like obviously, cos' i am able use my very own wild imagination :)

And someone which i forgot who, told me that Half Blood Prince would be directed by the same director D:

{The stressed-out people}

During recess today, Anyu and Helmi asked me the same question: "Wah, you so free.. still have the time to make blogskins.." And i said YESSS! Haha! Funny isn't it? While people are busy mugging their heads off, here i am, making blogskins.

Sometimes, i complain of not having the time to study. But in fact, its because i come online quite often nowadays. I guess this is what i really really love doing! And you can never take that away from me :)

I know of some seniors that started to study only 1 month away from O Levels and yet they are still able to do well, not saying that last minute work is good, but maybe they just got lucky or something. Now i'm like wondering whether i can do the same.

Maybe the pain of working hard hurts a lot, but i can't help but think that i should and must study, so that i will not regret after getting stupid results again and again.

PROBLEM IS: I just can't get myself to sit down for 15 minutes just to study. (If i can do that, i shall tell. But for now, we'll see what happens)

Oh, talking about this stress-ness thing, the people in my class are really studying their butts off! And by looking at them, i get stressed too sometimes.

Many people from other classes are like saying: "Oh look! You all in 4-9 ahh.. study so hard... Its giving us more stress leh!"

And i'll go: "Well, i'm not one of those that are doing that."

It's true.

But seriously, if you think about it, who's not stressed at this point of time? Everybody is. (Even though sometimes people deny it, they actually are.)

The Art students are rushing to complete their canvas, D&T students rushing to finish their artefacts.. etc. It's all very stressful..

Anyway my point is, maybe we should not keep on saying that "STRESS" word.

Sometimes, being optimistic and doing something about your studies instead of complaining of being stressed is what you should be doing now. Stop lazing around!

Maybe we all should organise study groups or something, at least there's people to motivate you, and you won't get frustrated or give up easily when faced with a problem (That's what i'd do)

By the way, the few paragraphs above applies to me. Even i would feel stressed by looking at Qiu Yan, Vanessa, Adeline, Ai Lin etc studying really hard. But now that i've thought through things, i will want to study in the night/morning/whenever i have the time.

But not until that late in the night, cos' i'm afraid of the dark and being alone in the house with nobody awake. Sadly, my family sleeps at 10 plus. Whenever i want to study late into the night, i think twice. It's due to the fact that last time i had a horrible encounter that i still visualise when i'm alone in the dark.

I won't say what it is. It's really horrible.

And until now, there's still no news(yet, but will have, i hope.) about me getting an interview to get into the Mass Communications (MCM) course. Of course, getting accepted immediately would be the best thing that ever happened to my life. But having an interview would make me feel much much more relieved.

The thought that many people are applying for the same course as i am worries me a lot. I still have faith in myself, but i hope, that my application stands out among the rest, somehow.

I guess i've ranted a lot today, it felt so much better after getting it off my chest! I shall do some self-motivation so that i'll study hard.

Hmm, maybe i should get my hands on that quill (In that latest Harry Potter movie), which uses your blood to write and so the words "I must study hard" will be etched onto my left hand, so i'll remember. Pretty neat idea eh?

And by the way, i got 14/20 for the chinese listening comprehension, according to Mdm Zhao's answers.

Also, my chinese oral didn't go as smoothly as i wanted it to be.

The worst news is: The exam branch moderated the A1 for chinese to 78 marks! Like arrghh! D:

And i added a daily counter :D

{DPA!}

Anyway, i just wanted to post this for fun. I applied for DPA (as many of you are aware of, cos' i put it on MSN)

But this is what i exactly applied for:

1st choice Ngee Ann Poly Mass Communications
2nd choice Ngee Ann Poly Digital Visual Effects
3rd choice Ngee Ann Poly Tourism and Resort Management

I know, its all Ngee Ann Poly's courses. Let's just say that i want to get into that school, the environment there looks nice (:

And now, all i wish is to get shortlisted for the interview. With that interview, it means that i might have a chance of getting in, a chance to do what i love, FINALLY! That is IF i manage to get into the course.

All i have to do now, is just wait, and leave my fate in the hands of God.

{O Levels!}

I just took the chinese listening comprehension exam a while ago. Some of my answers were different from the others, and i was thinking back on why i didn't think that deep, (which applies only if their answers were right) i still have at least a 0.01% chance of getting my answers right since the correct answers are still unknown.

Well enough of that! The thought of it make me feel a little sad and disheartened.

And oh, i guess i'll still be blogging afterall, and studying too of course. I realised that i can't stop doing something i really love doing! And i started to make blogskins again and the thought that there are quite a number of people downloading it makes me happy (:

I am thinking of making a blogskin now and submitting it before studying. Hehe! (:

{On Hiatus!}

And anyway, for now what i am always doing most of the time is studying, when i'm sleeping, i even have scary dreams of the horrible examinations and all that.

So i hope you noticed that there's nothing i can blog about except about how my studies are improving or how horrible it was, and maybe some of the silly/fun/crazy/interesting things i did over the weekend.

BUT! I want to say that i am not those that study 24/7. I still go out on weekends to enjoy myself, i know how to balance my time. This way, i would still be able to relax i guess.

Therefore, i'm going to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix this week, shall not tell you when but its a night movie i'm going to watch with my cousins and father! :D

The two pictures above were taken while we went to the museum on sunday. It has this high class feel you know! And i wished it was my house, someday x_o Wouldn't that be great?

I'm saying thank you in advance to those who will be tagging me, you're loved!

I know you'll be thinking, she's so thicked skinned!! I know that, you don't need to remind me :P

I'll blog again after the O Levels, with good news i hope.

So i'm leaving my blog now, into the hands of cyberspace and its people, with 6633 hits as of today. I'm curious about how much that number can increase while i'm away.

{Stress level: all time high!}

Just felt like sharing this:

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

~Og Mandino (1923 - 1996)

Today after school, i went to meet an old friend and shared all my troubles. It felt good to know that i have someone to help me out, to give advice. To that old friend of mine, thanks a million for letting me get this load of my heart! :D

My O Level chinese oral is on friday, if you ask me, i'd like to think that i'm feeling calm.

Plus, i had photo taking today with my class, i think i looked like a geek, seriously. *laughs* I'm definitely going to go *OHMYGODISTHATME?!*, when the photos come out. Tomorrow would be another round of photo taking with the band and prefects! I do hope those shots tomorrow would turn out with me looking perfectly fine and not retarded or anything.

And to mummy dearest, and the sexy ruyu,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
