Holidays....Break's over!!!

For the very first time, I spend my fortune on books! And I've even forked out time to read despite my malay novels (which I supposed to finish) were only down by one chapter. Got an interview kit for half a century tag, even mum don't know about it; not forgetting newsweek. mum was asking why spend on these? ha! I don't have a logical explanation behind it., just felt like reading anyway... The newsweek did caught my interest. "Does inflation really happen?" read up for your answers! cheers!

Finally, I got my ee done! ;) well, not exactly done, cuz d pics are not up yet. But anyhow, the writing up part is over. Coming to think of it, ee really helped me a lot, not just about ringworm itself, but it also aided my stats homework (the statistical analysis, t-tests and what not) Neways, it's done! :D Stats homework almost done (did those I can). Got my econs IA completed yesterday morning, all in a rush, just pray that the teacher won't reject it, one more commentary down to go... IELTS 100% done! Yahoooooo!!!! the reading part did crack my head over. phew... :D TOK skeleton is not seen yet, another one down to go... aih....really no idea how to get over it... pray pray and pray

Had less arguments with mum this time. Well, we did have minor misunderstanding about the Chinaman's pu er tea. It's not that I deny the quality of the wu fu li cha, just that i can't stop doubting the grades and quality of the Chinaman's good. Perhaps the readings on the internet really changed my perceptions? Did China government really subsidized the small entrepreneurs? I wonder....

For the two weeks, i spent most of my time with my ee and what not.s. Did went out with friends for movie, those guys are too enthusiastic in cartoon till i ended up watching Brave Story. phew.. What a day.. Well, least the theme song is nice. Managed to download it through Sogou.com..... Downloads! Muahhhhaaa... Got my CS3 at 67% when I left home. Downloaded MErcy Me's album overnight. Credits to Edmund....

Back at school, sent my 1st draft, EIA and all that. Managed to get things back on track. But for chemistry, it's still haywire. Will I get over it? Hm... Well, depends... I 'm still sleepy in classes. A norm that never revolve despite I 'm here for more than one and a half years. In fact, I developed it here. Haha.... Got my UCAS and UKCAt fees application claimed (money is still not in m bank!) IELTS sent in, though it's in a rush. HECTIC!!!!

Longing for weekend now. Even blogging turns out to be rather hard due to inadequate time. Sooner or later, I'll have to take a blogging break like Nad... haha...

Interviews hit the line?

"a guy who failed two interviews because he was too nervous. He went to his GP who gave him some betablockers and he failed third time round because he was too chilled!"

quoted from NewMediaMedicine

Interesting huh?
Interviews might be rolling down these days, that's if you get it. And the next question you would probably have in your head is how do I face it? How do I prepare? Right before your very eyes, your teacher or placement officer probably had given you a list of question that you might encounter by chance. Still, what are the chances for you to walk in there, stay calm (not too calm as quoted) and give a favorable reply for every question that they address? Staying calm is the key, but not to all university doors. Too chilled don't work but how to make sure that we are at the moderate level, just the level that the interviewers are looking for? Really pray that I won't encounter such problems ahead.

"Why medicine?"
An interesting yet disastrous question. Honestly, till this very moment, I'm still asking myself. Well, if easy life and easy money comes in mind, doctor's out. Some say, if you're not in denial of that fact and you believe a doctor's life will improve some day, perhaps you're the one they are looking for. Despite my personal statement is no where within my reach (UCAS has it), I'm still wondering the right answer to this question. To serve the nation? Or to serve the world where empathy is lacking? This career is people-oriented, some say. But while I tried to figure out the example of "people-oriented" cases, my searches were all in vain (well, this is Malaysia).

Will I get an interview? aha! That's should be the perfect question I should ask now! Well, did hear from my friends that some of them are offered interviews by Cambridge. Congrats to them. Mentioning about Cambridge, why hadn't I take the attempt? Well, it's not that I consider Cambridge has no life, but to be honest, I spent 700bucks for a non-living thing to tell me that I'm nothing more than a normal student out there. My grades never portray any sign that I am a potential applicant (genuine applicant). So why risk one of my four hopes? Back to the issue, till now I haven't receive any interview offers yet. Will I? hm... Reading all the forums in NMM really shatter my dreams into debris. Really hope I had done better in UKCAT. Friends do assure me that it's just a part of the requirements, there are still hopes on other criteria. Grades, I'm out (not completely though). But the competition is stiff. Stuart Little once quoted, there's always a silver lining on the other side of the story. That's what I can pray and hope for now, positive sign from different point of views...

After long "blog-break"...

Home sweet home! Horaaay! Holidays! Weird, I didn't have the ear-block problem this time. Probably I talked too much with that weirdo. For the third time of the year, I loaded my luggage with thick books. Will I ever open them? I don't know. Time will tell... The 2 weeks I have will probably be burned half before I even glance at them...
Meanwhile, ee, econs ia, tok essay, tok presentation is taking the queue. I didn't actually approach any of them yet. Instead, biology and stats took the front row. I don't know what's next, but I am pretty sure blogging is not one of them. The long list of homework never got shorter... How I hope, semester 3 exam is abolished.WHY??? Why must they re implement it AGAIN?? arg.....
UCAS settled, which actually means PS and UKCAT is an END!!! Thank God... The same day which I also submitted my 3rd draft for world lit. Hope everything will turn out fine... now praying for UCAS... Hope my application will be preferred by the "Ivory towers" out there.
Journey down the time tunnel... lots of activities took place... all in a fraction of time... seemed that semester 3 is REALLY FAST-PACED. Well, hope I can breeze through it (considering my long awaited homeworks).

THINGS I HAVE DONE:

• Buka Puasa session at Alamanda... Came back empty handed and my wallet also EMPTY! Where my $ landed? I wasn't robbed...chill... duh.... all in my tummy.... Manhattan, Pizza hut, Baskin Robbins, Amos Famous, Secret Recipe. All in 2 hours and I was RM100 poorer...

Who cares what they say? as long as my tummy's happy...

• Mid-Autumn fest... The juniors are great. Thumbs up to the juniors, they really done a great job. This time, we were join by more of our Malay friends... Guess they too enjoy the fun, while some of them actually indulge in the moon cakes grown with fungus... haha... Mr. Lim joined us too!! The camera men did a great job!

Toast! a tradition to be inherited?

A good sight despite it's blur isn't it?
Clubbing with lanterns?
...while we light up the pavilion

• UKCAT - Man! I spent 700 bucks for a computer to tell me I am dumb! duh....

Don't ever think I will post my result here, do you??

• IELTS classes - phew... Initial thoughts were pleasing, but shattered by the reading sessions. Found an enourmous hole for me to improve.... Edinburgh wants 7.5, Bristol wants 7.0...praying and working hard.....

3/4 elements I'll have to struggle in November
attaches with it is a 600 bucks bill...

• Conducted ee experiment a week after first draft due date... God knows what results I have... Nevertheless, I proceed with the writting part... While i wish this burden will be lifted by the first draft which I hope to produce in 2 weeks time...

I'm still struggling with the 4000 words... taking my sweet time...

• TOK presentation draft - Food labels reliable? never bother to submit the draft...still trying to figure out the knowledge issue and counterclaims... DIE!
• Went to Salak Tinggi Bazaar, thought I can satisfy my tummy there. High hopes were shattered by the semi-edible food there. To "dis-euphemise" it: Cheh! Nama jak bazaar..buruk pun tu makanan sana! Bida lagi tu penjual da! nda pandai senyum bha! B*bi!

...no intention to proceed.. only trying to figure out how am I going to utilize my holidays wisely... while I pray the best for my UCAS...
