my "bao bei" here is my youngest cousin. youngest of my generation (no longer youngest in family as he is Uncle liao... whahaha...) he is 7 yrs old tis yr ohhh... wonder how tall he is now ah... really miss him so much. miss him calling me "Weishan Jie Jie" with tat soft spoken manner and anxious looks if i am holding anything on hand tat is of his interest. today is his birthday ohhh... heehee... naughty little boy ah... shall go back and "torture" him. whahaha...

okok... got to run now for my last examz paper liao... last one liao... finally!!! i will jia you ah! hopefully i wun disappoint myself. but no matter, i juz cannot wait to regain my freedom and get out of my "turtle" hole ah. as frens in Aussie called me "mountain turtle" living in "er-mei shan" during examz as i can juz simply "disappear" for weeks during examz. whahaha...

Hailstones in Summer... do u believe it???

Hailstones in Summer??? whahaha... unbelieveable leh... but it really happened today! tis afternoon, there was a terrible thunderstorm. tis few days had been super duper hot and stuffy. then tis afternoon, it started to rain... then rain became heavier and heavier. i could heard the wind blowing so strongly that the trees r swaying left, rite and center. then i heard loud splashing on the roof top. so i looked out my windows. everyting was normal ah. but the sound of the rain drops juz so loud. Tess even joked tat "issit raining stone ah? so loud until i cannot sleep ah!" whahahaha... then Leona called me & told me she saw hailstones. aiyoo... really raining stones ah.... so wat i saw before tat was really "stones". heehee... all i noe the wind was so so strong tat i feel as if the zinc roof top of my neighbour's house is going to be blown away. really quite scary lor.. then after abt 45mins, the rain was gone... completely gone... is as if the dark clouds juz pass by Brissy sky, drop down watever raindrops there r, then after tat mission accomplished and tat's it! then the bright sun came out and all was so stuffy and hot again. conclusion we had was tat is really WEIRD weather ah!!!

then when i saw the news in the evening, the storm was so terrible. so much disruptions. houses' roof tops were blown away, shophouses was flooded with leaking roof, trees were blown down and rite smack on the passing cars & pple were injured by the flying debris. then the lighting tat strike down was so long and sharp & some churches had their crosses smashed into pieces. disruptive thunderstorms, worst one ever since i came here. and it is reported tat it will continue to hit other areas of Brisbane. i dun mind rain lah, cos Aussie in serious drought now. we really need water!!! but not such disruptive storms tat will take away our property or even our life ah.

anyway, most pple finished examz liao... haiz... horrible nitemare starts when pple r out partying and me still mugging for last paper. but nvm ah, i shall endure... cos is juz the last 2 days!!! 2 more days and i will be FREE!!!! completely FREE!!!! i can smell the sense of freedom... very near... so near tat i can feel the presence. whahaha... wait for me ah... i'm reaching the finishing line soon...

**countdown to last examz paper: 2 days

in the midst of examz...

In the midst of studying for LAST paper...

I saw Merlion!!!

I saw "Durian" - Esplanade!!!

I saw Fort Canning Park!!!

ohhh... familiar scenes tat i had been missing for mths (at least 9 mths liao...) & i saw all of them today... all at one go... heehee... not imaginary lor, is really saw them with my EYES but is on TV lah. whahaha... oh ya... come to tink, muz say THANK U to Grace. "hey gal, thanks for asking me to watch the show juz now on TV. heehee... really good form of dosage ah!" yeahz! juz now on TV there was a cooking show. Spore was featured in tis episode thus i saw all the familiar scene and food. gosh~~ suddenly had a homely feeling. whahaha... anyway, i was craving for "ba zhang" when i saw the host introducing the "nonya dumpling" lah. haiz... i miss the "ba zhang" my grandma make lor & i miss messing up her stuff when she wrap lah. heehee...

haha.. during examz period & i seems so free hor... still can watch TV. arghh... i really have ZERO mood to study sia. so as usual, cannot sit really still when i have no mood to study, i walked up and down my room, go downstairs to take water, food and walk around the house, wet the cloth and wipe the kitchen top and everywhere else. i juz dun wan sit down in front of my desk to look at my notes. whahaha... then when i got sick of doing all these, guess wat i did next? i saw the cards and photo albums on my display shelves. so i took a cloth and start to wipe the dust off them and took out each and every one to read thru again. whahaha... it had been a few mths since i last read them. usually when i read them, i will start to tink of home again so i dun usually read them lah. but today i itchyhand lah. took out and read. indeed the "dust" in the cards and albums so powerful... flew into my eyes and make me create a mini "waterfall" in my room. whahaha... then i realised something. to my Spice Buddies (Lian, Jun, Jas & Lin): the photo card tat u guys gave me was the most outstanding one but now i cannot read the msg in the card liao. cos the pen tat u guys used, so powerful ah. ink can disappear one. Lin's msg is completely gone, Lian's msg left only "dear San" & "Love & Huggies Poh Lian", body section all gone, Jas' msg still got abt 40% left and Jun's msg is the only complete one left. whahaha... cos he used a different ink ah. so... can i request for a NEW card??? :P

anyway, no matter whose gift or card they r, i deeply appreciate them and love every single one of them. will bring all these back to Spore after i grad to put on display so tat i can read when i am free ah. but i guess by then, i wun create "waterfall" liao. heehee...

**side note**: received a msg last nite tat really make me feel some sort better... act knowing wat the typical advice will be... it seems better when a 2nd person tell me...

my outgoing msg was "really heartache. lost 10 marks in my examz today. for the 1st time i am really affected. my mood to study for last paper is really gone... haiz..."

the reply came as "dun tink abt it since is over le. u shld study even harder for the next paper so tat u overall can get a good grade... yeahz... study hard!"

anyway, tat's all for updates now. back to mugging again... :D

there goes my 10 marks....

as u can see from the title, is something related to exam ah... 2nd paper i took today. haiz... juz as i tot i did a fairly ok job, i suddenly feel very weird. then for a person who usually dun re confirm ans by looking thru the notes after examz, i act took out my notes and look thru for ans. so tat was how i realise i lost 10 marks... 10marks for a quest tat i act wrote the wrong ans. is my fault... totally my fault for being over confident and underestimated the quest. i need to finish 2 10marks quest in 35mins so i decided to rush thru the 3rd quest, tinking tat it is much easier to finish. however, i din realise i was writing the wrong stuff down. i only read the quest once during perusal time and din read a 2nd time which i usually will before writing the ans. so i overlooked on wat the quest is asking for and ended up giving the wrong ans.

really heartache ah... 10 marks leh... tat is enough to take my distinction away from me. haiz... tis sem's results will be way below expectation. 2 papers already and had been disappointment. i dunno how the 3rd one will be, but i will still give my best shot. watever it is, wat done cannot be undone. if is really meant to be as it is, no use for me to ponder over it. maybe at the end of the day, i will be very disappointed with my own results as the results for tis sem is very impt to me. i need to obtain good results to get my industry placement. if i really get bad results and din get my placement, is not enough to get sad only. cos after i get sad, i need to wake up and do something to replace wat i lost, rite? is true i feel very heart ache now and maybe after release of results too but i noe i need to get on with life and learn from where i go wrong so tat i wun make same mistake again. tis time round, i noe is bcos i was over confidence and din read quest thoroughly. so will i allow myself a 2nd chance to make same mistake? NO! NEVER! i will earn back my marks and will NEVER allow tis to happen again.

"examz" to torture me... "countdown" to make me feel better...

argh~!!! dun really like to do countdown but now i really wanna do some countdown to give me something to look forward to ah... not tat i hate wat i am doing, juz tat i feel very very SIANZ by wat i am doing ah!!!!

"revising for examz"... how come got such task to fulfill ah? aiyyooo... whoever invented "examz" really have serious sickness... the "sickness of seeking enjoyment thru torturing miserable students like us --- making us go thru examz after examz juz to see how well we noe our stuff; evaluating the teaching of our teachers/lecturers base on examz after examz; monitoring if the present education system is up to standard with examz after examz...". arghhh~~!!! dun they have a better way to guide us or to evaluate the teachers/lecturers and education systems? y muz we be the miserable ones to go thru all these testing and be the one suffering under all these horrible evaluation process?

anyway, i wanna feel better, more motivated and stay diligent and focus so i ended up doing countdown liao... today is 11 Nov, Sat. tis coming Fri, 17 Nov will mark the last paper of tis "long long" exam period. i cannot wait for tat wonderful day to come by ah!!! another 1 week more... whahaha... sound short with "1" ah but is another 7 days lor... no matter wat, i juz wanna make myself feel better lah... 1 week more and i will be free for tis sem. for tis short while, i oso happy. i juz wanna faster get over and done with. juz dunno y... tis is the most torturing revision period i ever had since my poly days till now. faster it is, better it is ah.

haiz... then to add salt on my wound, my housemate, Huiying is having her last paper today ah!!! gosh~~!!! and on Mon when i am having 2nd paper, another housemate, Tess will be finishing her examz too. OMG~!!! agony again... last sem i am the last one... tis sem i am the last one again... u tell me how to continue get motivated for revision with both housemates finished with examz and enjoying life, watching shows and having a good time. i seriously in need of some good motivating factors for me to keep on working hard, stay focus until i go thru 17 Nov ah. arrgghhh!!!! 1 moe week... 7 more days... i will overcome it! if i can do it last sem, i am sure i can do it tis sem. "faith... belief... motivation... focus... positive attitude... buddies, i need all of u now! pls pls report to me tis very min... okok?"

alright... enough of complains, self consoling and talking... is time to get back to my notes again... dun seems to rem wat i studied earlier liao... whahaha... i tink i grumble too much... :P

* 7 days to end of examz*

parcel of warmth, surprises and love...

tis is not a pressie for me lah... cos i need to return to owner when i go back spore. but i really very grateful to the sender, Ms Ang Shuwei ah. without telling me anything, she juz sent it over. no notes or cards attached. whahaha... becos before i came here, i forget to get it from here to bring over, so she specially sent it over for me. really really thank u so so much sia!!! heehee...

Triple S Theory from IRIS1000

whahaha... wat will one do when one is so sick of studying and studying for examz ah? well, one will get crazy and tink of some funny and weird tings lah... heehee... tat is wat i tot of while i was struggling to concentrate on my examz revision.

Newly invented theory from course code IRIS1000:

Triple S Theory: Study + Sleepy = Sianz

whahaha... i invented tis theory when i was too sian from all the notes... notes after notes, words after words... is all over my mind and nutting seems to stay on... all juz flowing in and out of my mind so easily. can anyone tell me how to keep all these in head until after 17 Nov? argghhh!!!

haiz... act study for so long, shld noe how to handle examz symptons but i juz get so sick lah... let me fa xie a bit... as wat jas say, 2nd last sem liao... muz endure ah!!!

okok... enough of grumbles and complains liao... back to all the notes now... sickening they r but is sinful on my side if i dun "eat" all of them up ah! whahaha... see lah, crazy me using all the weird weird words.

*side note*:
*juz as i was writing tis entry, i saw a new course/subject code from Yong Kiat's msn nick: "SLP1001"... whahaha... we all became inventors for new course/subject codes ah... previously we have "TVBS1000" (bachelor) to "TVBS7000" (masters). whahaha...*

Motivation!!! i need u ah... where r u? pls come back to me, k?

hmm... since i already settled the most bothering issue in my mind, i shld b all set to study hard for my examz ah... but i juz cannot seems to have the heart to study. my mind is not with my studies at all lor. really dunno y ah. haiz... then to make matter worse, i have additional stress now!!! tis stress is really terrible but is not motivating me to study leh?

today i went for a industry placement briefing. is part of the module i am taking next sem. some students will be selected to go for tis industry placement. however to qualify for it, there is a series of criteria to fulfill. 1st of all most, most basic one.. academic requirement. all along the uni require students to have at least a cumulative GPA of 5 to qualify. from next yr on, they r looking for students with at least GPA of 5.5 and on top of tat, the student need to be top 30 students within the whole grp of students taking the course ah. aiyoo... i tot i juz need to maintain my current GPA or make it better to qualify. now not only muz i get a good GPA, i still need to maintain within the top 30 students ah. for today's briefing, my lecturers only called those qualified students to go down and told us tat hopefully next yr's 1st meeting, they will still see the same lot of us. haiz... i definitely hope so ah.

u say lah... isn't tis additional stress for me? how to get better GPA and at the same time maintain my standing within top 30 ah? honestly, i have doubts ah. but no matter wat i will try my very best!!! pia all the way... do or die... heckcare 1st... juz do 1st. 1st of all i tink to get back all my motivation... "motivation!!! come back to me faster, can??? plssss...." 2nd ting is to write a good profile write up abt myself to send to my lecturer for review. my aunt said my profile write up cannot make it ah. whahaha... tink i need sit down and do a good one liao. 3rd is i wanna settle my tasmania' s stuff leh. tot of going down to travel agency to get stuff on tasmania tomolo. but i muz see if i can finish studying part of my tings today or not. if not, no need go tomolo liao. studies more impt.

oh ya... come to mention... i nv tot my lecturers will use the "top 30 students" tactics to choose suitable students for the placement ah. i tot tis kind of method only used in pri or sec sch in spore ah. academic standing base on results. whahaha... nv knew in uni still use such way ah. anyway, keep fingers cross... i wanna maintain!!!! i can do it! yes! i can!!! i will & i muz!!!!

*today when i went to uni, i saw someone driving a car with a "L" plate. haiz... he is learning car lor... then when i came back, i saw a car... "toyota corolla ascent". haiz... same design as the one i used to drive when i was learning my driving... mmm... i miss someting ah... miss wat, dun need say u all oso noe lah... cannot say i super duper love tat.. but i juz feel no good when out of sudden, is taken away from me without me even proving to myself and others that i can do it and finish it perfectly ah! fated and destined ah... haiz....*

okok... back to studies liao... if not, no need finish liao...
