2016

It's great to live in a new year. This year definitely wont be going easy on me though. I'll be moving through the final year in high school, an important point in life, this year. Nevertheless, living in the first week of the new year sure is refreshing as it has been all this while. Every new year I come across gives me new goals, new strength, new clothes, new motivation, new experiences, new friends, you name it.

This first week has been a great one. Looking back, it sure felt kind of fast(it does when there's a countdown timer that brings hell when it reaches zero). My studies aren't even up to mark yet and there are still bits and pieces of things left from last year to fix. Still, having homework on the first day isn't really unexpected as trials will come in around July and all studies must be finished by then. May God guide me through this valley of the shadow of death. Ahahaha...

This first week has brought me some new teachers and as of now, all my teachers this year seem not too bad. Homework can be a strain at times but well, I'm managing one thing at a time and everything's in control so far. Pray tell it'll stay this way for the rest of the year.

To cover for last year, it's been great too. In fact, if I were to name it, it'd be the Year of Inspiration. I met a lot of people who motivate me to do better just by looking at the way they live. My life was kind of down in the slums since I didn't really do too great in Form 3. Good enough to get me into the top class, but not great enough to be proud about. Apart from my grades, 2015 has been acceptable.

This year's highlights, as of now, will be the days around February and October-November. This is simply because I'll be popping up somewhere else for Chinese New Year and the finals, the real deal, will be around in the end of October onward. I definitely look forward to a great year ahead and a challenging one at that.

P.S. I finished typing his about a fortnight ago and was about to post it. Wanted a picture to go with it but I took too long not getting one AHAHA XD

    Goodness, time does fly! I can't believe you are in your final year of high school already! Honestly, looking back, the final year of high school was one of my highlights. Grueling? Yes. (Probably even more so in Malaysia compared to Australia.) But for me it was one of the last chances I got to spend time with everyone I built rapport with for the past five/six years. New alliances formed as we band together to combat the never ending list of tests, assignments and mid/end of year exams. Things get a bit difficult post high school graduation as everyone moves off to do their own thing, so enjoy the last year of school to the best you can!! I think you will do just fine! Good luck! :)

    Have a great CNY trip with your family and friends and get as much rest as you can throughout the year to avoid burning out!

Testing Times

Now, I know its been a long time since I last kept myself updated here. Well, ever since the second semester started things were starting to fall out of place.Just when I had barely managed to pull myself together, the world around me started tearing itself to pieces again. Now, I don't know about everyone but the way I study is I tend to overexert myself for the first half of the semester to try to be a step or two ahead of the syllabus at all times so that the lecture will just be a refresher afterwards. I do this because:- 1. I kind of understand that I have fiery enthusiasm whenever a new semester begins but it dies down before I can go through the whole semester. This means I'm kinda short fused, losing interest if I don"t see a quickly rewarding outcome. Hence, over-studying in the start benefits me as I've covered the entire syllabus before the boredom falls into place, and 2.It's actually very rewarding to feel like you fully understand what the lecturer

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b

Recipe For Disaster

Before I tell you about the time I was home alone that one day during the semester break, let me tell you about my first week back in college for the second wave of subjects. I'm only taking four subjects this time around and since it's a long semester this is probably going to be a pretty laid back time for me. In my free time now, I'm picking up lots of things to help kill time - sketching, learning card tricks, adopting a few French words, spending the evenings one sitcom episode at a time. So far, the first week of this semester just rolled out fine. Even got to sit together with a closely knitted few friends watching a film together from his laptop early this evening. Stranger Things, good stuff. Can't wait for a second season upcoming Halloween X) Oh, so as promised, the time I was home alone for the sem break. Now, there is a reason why my parents almost never leave me home alone unless they've taken certain safety precautions: I can't actually cook any
