'DRAMA' QUEEN

I have been like a literally 'drama' queen these few days. I watched three dramas in five days. O.O So lifeless, right?

I have started watching Korean dramas even before my exam ends. How bad is that? So I ended up screwing up my accounting paper. So God is fair, isn't He? For now, I have been super lazy these few days. Spent most of the time on my Korean drama, just like a lifeless person. I didn't go on Facebook that often and was super lazy to reply my friends messages. Like what they always say, I'm so 'dry' now.

After watching these three Korean drama, the one that touches me most is 'heartstrings'. The two main characters are from 'you're beautiful'. They weren't together in the first drama but they got together in heartstrings. Its just a very simple story, not to say very interesting and nice but somehow the show is stuck in my head. Even after I finished watching 'Mary stayed out all night' the feeling is just not there. Heartstrings is still in my head! Maybe its because I like Yong Hwa, the main character. He's very cute in that show. He just seem perfect.

I'm going to continue my drama fever these few days. Having a day off tomorrow because its a public holiday! :)

HOW CAN I NOT SPELL 'DIE'?

Dear Lecturers, its only the third day but I can tell that you are working hard to fail us. 

Five more papers to go! I don't have any papers today but I went to college hoping to be able to study a lil more because I know I won't be that productive at home. I did not accomplished what I have originally planned to finish but at least I got some work done. I studied at the SC room with Ananda and Yi Lin. Em, we also had some fun. :D

Can you tell who is who?

I see many of my friends feeling very disappointed with their exam papers today. Many of them coming out of the exam hall shaking their heads. Feel kinda sad for them. However, I still regretted a little bit for not taking science in A levels except for law. I came to realize that Science subjects are subjects that I can work hard to achieve good results but for Art subjects, it seems like reading the text books is never enough. There aren't much things to read from the text book, but there are lots of things to be written on the exam paper. 

Okay, I shall stop here and continue with my Business Studies Unit 2. Five more days to go, I can do this!

TRIALS

I'm having my trials tomorrow but yet I'm still so relax. What is wrong with me? Can't focus no more. Having the Contract law book widely opened in front of me but nothing seems to get into my brain. I have been staring at the same page for hours. How now brown cow? Tomorrow is the first day of trials. I'm having law for tomorrow and I feel super lazy right now. I believe I have this pre-exam syndrome. My brain seems to lock up itself a few days before the exam. I have been going on Facebook for the past few hours. I know this is bad and I can't help it. But I feel a lil better when I see many other MCKLians on fb too. Seems like I'm not the only one facing this problem.

Just to recap what I did yesterday, I went to college for extra class in the morning. I went to the other maths class yesterday and their lecturer was awesome. I did feel very bad for Mr. Miao but I went to apologise afterwards and he said he's fine with it. Cause I find no difference in me going for his extra class and not going for his class. I don't listen in math class, I do my own exercise. I believe that math can be easily understood from the textbook. But I think I can't do that for mechanics anymore. Reuben invited me to their class yesterday. And I listened to their lecturer throughout the whole period. She was not bad. She explains the theory in details.

Had lunch in college and studied at the student lounge with Claudia, Xin Yi and Reuben. Around 5pm, we went to the YMCA carnival but it was quite late already and we see people cleaning up the place. But we still got free ice-creams!

The youth fellowship had a election yesterday too. I feel kinda old already because its the last time I'm going to be able to vote. I was quite worried about the new committee because there aren't many of them left. But I believe God has his plans and He will bring these new leaders up strong. Finally, I don't have to worry about being a bad committee member. But I still want to serve God in other areas. I will consider involving myself in the CF worship team but I'm going to pray about that first. After our trials I will start to get busy with the SC things again. Hopefully I'm able to balance out my time. :)

Thank you Lord for guiding me through these days. Dear heavenly Father, please help us who are sitting for the exams tomorrow to have wisdom when we answer our exam papers. Help us to achieve good results to honour your name. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

DESSERTS - STRESSED

The two class that I only have for today are canceled. Then what's the point of me going to college? Cause I didn't know! D: oh well, I spent time at the library studying though. I'm starting to like studying already. Hah! Ain't that great?

We went to eat Gelato today! Me and Michelle have been talking about it since last week. Bee lee, Youta and Yih Chong tagged along too. Finally, my cure for all the stress I'm undergoing. Haven't had Gelato for quite some time already and I still LOVE it. Om nom nom. I had my usual green tea flavour! But the place we went was Times Square's Gelatomio. One cup cost RM7.30. D: it used to be only RM6.80. But maybe its because we went to GelatoMio. Michelle's watermelon flavour was heaven too! I shall have that next time! Bought gummy bears too. What a 'sweet' day.

The ICDC (Indian Cultural Dance Club) bought us(the SCs) lunch at the Indian Temple of Fine Arts today. It was a very nice meal! I loved it! Among the SCs, only me, Joon Ren and Jon Oon went. D: It was kinda awkward but luckily Joon Ren went too! I talked to him all the way. The buffet lunch costs only RM12 per pax and the food was super good! Should bring my friends there next time. :D

I have extra class tomorrow and I don't feel like going. D: who wakes up early on a SATURDAY? Its a Saturday. Hmph. Still don't like the fact that Mr. Miao is giving us extra class two days before my law test. I've planned to study law tomorrow. Now I'm going to have to study in college.

FOOD!

Live to eat or eat to live, that is a question.

Had a wonderful meal with my parents and their friends yesterday night. One of the uncle, from Argentina made some great pasta. I didn't really appreciate that pasta as much as the other adults do. But it was something new to me. My mum was very satisfied with all the good food she had yesterday and had complaint many times to my dad that even his friends as husbands cook for their families. My dad had only cooked once for me and my mum. It was the authentic Haiwanese chicken rice(that's what he told us). Surprisingly, it turned out not too bad. My dad has bragged about how well he used to cook when he was in UK many years ago. Finally, we get to eat what he has cooked that day. It turned out good so he started bragging about how well he did that chicken rice again. My mum was so satisfied by the delicious pasta made by that uncle and she told me to marry a
European that knows how to cook in the future. She bragged about how fortunate I will be if I marry a European. Oh, mothers! Haha.

That uncle also had a young daughter aged two. I so called 'babysit' her for the whole night while the adults had their own time chatting. She was so adorable, she had blues eyes and perfectly fair skin. Awwww. Now I miss her. She cried before she left yesterday because she was enjoying herself with the piano which she had never played before. I also observed how the parents treated her. Her parents were very loving and they brought her up very well. Maybe its because I just read he book 'the lost daughter', that's why I became very curious about how other parents bring up their children and how children behaves. I have always wondered what kind of a parent will I be in the future? Will I spoil my child too much? Or will I influence my child to do bad things without me knowing? I just read the summary of Jodi Piccoult's 'nineteen minutes' in Popular this afternoon. It was regarding a son that wanted to take revenge on his friends by bringing a gun to school and kill many of them. The mother tried to recall back what she had done to make her son become a person like that. She tried to understand what her son had went through all these years. I wanted to buy that book but it was a little too expensive. Oh well, I shall try downloading it or reading it from the net. I am very curious to know how his mother felt  knowing that this book is going to be another book that will make me cry.

Another thing I did yesterday was collecting the Chong Hwa KL prom tickets from one of the person in charge. Woohoo! I was wanting to go for the chkl prom since a long time ago. I have to try convincing my parents again. :( I bought the tickets at an early bird price, RM135. I'm getting quite excited about this and I hope that i can archieve good results for my semester exam so that I can prove to my parents I'm able to balance out my time between my studies and my work in the student council. I'm also hoping that my good results will be able to help me convince my parents on letting me go for prom night. The tickets look beautiful! :)

'THE LOST DAUGTHER' <3

I have just wasted my night reading 'the lost daughter'. Just had to keep my mind away from my studies awhile. The book was awesome. It was very good and interesting. I have never tried reading these sort of books before. The last book I read was 'Breaking Dawn' which was a very long time ago. I have to admit that breaking dawn is a very good book too. Its the best  among the four books. Back to the book I've just read 'the lost daughter's, I bought this book not really because I find it interesting(I find story lines interesting) but because of a sentence written at the back of the book 'For the fans of Jodi Piccoult, this is a must read' . I see Michelle reading the book 'harvesting the heart' by Jodi Piccoult one day and I felt like reading that book too. She said that it is a very good book. I wanted to buy a good book during the book fair and I simply couldn't decide on which book to buy, I was afraid that I might buy a book that I don't really like. Hence I decided to trust 'Jodi Piccoult'. Haha.

I'm getting sleepy now as its quite late in the night. My brain isn't functioning very well now. But I'll just briefly go through my feelings after reading this book. This book is mainly above family and love. I have learned that love doesn't come naturally within the blood but it is by time that true love exists. The author has expressed the feelings of a mother very well. My eyes were filled with tears when I read the part where the mother had taken courage to pay for the price for what she had done. I was also very heart-brokened at the part when the daughter wanted to stay away from her mother after she had grown up and also how the daughter reacted against her mother when she knew the truth. It reminds me a little of how the three of us have turned out to be now. I thank my parents a lot for bringing us up so well. I learned from this book that no one is born to be good parents. My parents must have faced a lot of difficulties bringing us up as well. I feel sad whenever I think of the day where the three of us aren't beside our parents. Will my parents feel lonely when the three of us aren't at home? Will they feel abandoned? I hope not. I'm hoping to be able to start earning money soon to support my parents and take care of them. I would not want them to think that all their efforts spent on us were wasted.

I being very emotional now, I suppose its time i get some rest. Thank you Lord again for keeping me safe and healthy and thank you for giving me such wonderful parents!

PETRA'S VISIT TO THE VET

Have been studying a lot recently. Spending time in the library copying law Q&A book, doing math exercise and studying for small tests. At least I consider that as study. My mum wants me to quit student council. :( She pointed out a fact that I couldn't deny. I'M A WORKAHOLIC. Just like her. I can spend almost all my time working in the student council and eventually neglect my studies. I do not want to quit the student council, hence I must work hard for my semester exam to prove to her that I can balance my time spent in working and studying. I realised that planning the SC retreat had used up most of my time. Now that it is over, I should start studying and stop thinking about my work. My mum also say that I'm just like her, when I put my heart into doing something, I would not be able to concentrate in doing other more important things even though I have made up my time to do those important things. I am afraid now seeing other student council members studying very hard. They have a better time management than me, at least they know what is more important. I need God's help.

Just brought my new dog - Petra to the vet. Poor dog has some type of inherited skin disease. We see it suffering everyday, getting thinner and thinner. Can't afford to see it dying, we finally brought it to a pet clinic at kepong. The vet said that these kind of disease isn't flees, but some other type of disease(which I don't remember the name) that might turn out worst. Petra has to take medication for a year or more to make sure that the disease is completely swept off. If the disease remains after a year more of medication, Petra would have to go for life time medications. How depressing to hear such thing that might happen on Petra. My parents are a little worried about the dog and the cost that we might have to spend on it if it goes on for a life time medication. My mum thinks that it would seem to be a wiser decision if we put the dog to sleep now rather than seeing it suffer so much and having to afford the cost to take care of it. But I think choosing Petra was never a wrong decision, it might seem not to be a wise decision but I still think that God placed Petra here for a reason. Maybe for us to take care of it or it might also be God's blessing to us in the unforeseeable future. Sheeba was indeed a blessing for us. It has been with us for so many years and Sheeba has been a very good guard dog. Hopefully Petra would be this sort of blessing to us too.

Have not spoken to my two best friends for quite some time already. I miss them a lot, but i'm just lazy to call them up. XP I believe that they would understand. Just like how I understand them. :) I believe in friendships that does not require any other reasons to maintain this relationship. Just like me and my best friends, we don't talk to each other that often already we don't meet each other that often too but deep in our hearts, they still remain the same. No matter how far apart we are, in our hearts, we are closer still. Its like no matter when and where we meet, there will never be awkwardness between us even though we do not share the same topics anymore. We will talk like we have known each other for ten years or more and act like we have been seeing each other everyday. How happy am I to have such great best friends! I still remember the times that we would spend for each other whenever one is in need of help or needs a good listener despite the busy life we are going through. Awww.. I Love you guys! <3

Not forgetting what God has done for me these few days, he has kept me alive and healthy and has guided me through difficult situations. Thank you Lord!
