I have failed countless times to update this blog, and I have a feeling no one really reads anymore. However, since this was where I started writing it always feels most comforting to return to write short bit about my life here
I was browsing today this article where a number of individuals had submitted pictures or scans of their teenage diaries. I have hardly graduated out of teenhood myself; once a very interesting character told me that you don't truly stop being a teen until you've passed 25 years of age. Sometimes not even then. Yet I can't help but look at (the now hidden) entries that used to chronicle my life in secondary school and then in junior college. I was a very different person then, and yet, not so.
As I write this now, I am waiting for myself to fall asleep, for the memories in my head to die down so I may just tumble into a nice dreamless sleep.
Yet sleep evades me, as it naturally does when you need to wake mere hours later for the most important task of school. It feels so new all over again, because people just come and go and come back again.
But enough of my rambling, I should really try to at least close my eyes and lay down, and hope that eventually sleep will take me.
To all those people who left my life, I miss you. You know who you are

i feel so liberated. GEOG is over!!!!
i feel like i was carrying a backpack filled with all the rock types in the world. igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. =) anyways, i discarded the backpack today. though i didn't finish the last part of the environmental management essay i did my best. and i hope that my studying payed off. i am a bit worried though, because of the DRQ. it seems everyone in my class did 4 population geog questions and 1 rocks and landforms question. I, being the insane loony maniacal hag that i am, did 4 ROCKS AND LANDFORMS DRQs and 1, ONLY 1, popln geog DRQ. whether it will pay off i don't know. i found them doable, but then again,i've found that at jc level, whatever you find doable tends to come back and bite you in the backside, so i don't know whether that is a good sign.
coastal geomorphology essay was just as i expected, and i did write alot, perhaps even a tad bit too much.as for part b of the environmental essay, i wrote about nuclear energy. later i asked ah long how the paper was and he was floating on air. a big change from monday when he came out from the exam hall asking which bus goes to temasek poly frm mj. thats prolly due to the fact that he studied geog MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more than any other of our subjects. so i guess it payed off for him. for now i'll just have to pray that i get the A lvl pass that i desire for geog.
i certainly don't have economy of words. you know what i did? i wrote the longest ever malay essay in my malay essay history. 6 pages. YEP. a royal 6 pages. how i did it i don't know myself, considering that i could barely muster a 1 and a half page essay in the beggining of this year and in the past. i still cannot believe i wrote 6 pages. it means more mistakes. but oh well, whats done is done and i shall not brood over the mistakes i may have made.
the section 2 of malay was quite ok. i obediently memorized my peribahasa since i didn't want to let down Cikgu Raihana, undoubtably the best cikgu i've ever had and probably will have. its for you Cikgu! anyways, all the peribahasa that i know came out :
kena batang hidung, fitrah manusia, potong leher, pasang badan, mendukung biawak hidup.so that went well. other parts were a bit tricky, and i'm not sure how i'll fare. but i hope i won't let cikgu down. i really hope not.
then there was wednesday's econs and thursday's lit. i didn't finish my econs essay on wednesday, but it was part a of question 5, and i finished everything else. i hope i did fine, but i'm definitely going to go all out for the DRQ and MCQ on this coming tuesday
lit however, was a disaster. especially the shakespeare paper. i dieded. did the madness question and i went rambling on and on about the professional madness, the real madness and the feigned madness present in the play. AND i did something stupid, which was to include the idea that ms lim told me not to include in the essay, that was prolly risky. i think i just sleepy so i didn't realise that i wrote it in until afterwards. it was that madness was a necessary evil because it served as a means by which self discovery is acheived and true individual identity is uncovered for King Lear, who is used to viewing himself and taking on the role of what society expects him to be, a great king. STUPID RIGHT. haiyah, i don't know. and i talked about alot more lar. it seems like i'm killing trees in the process of trying to get promoted. to think that i study geography. tsk tsk.
i did the "trangressive figures are the hallmark of the Gothic tradition" question for paper 4. i don't know about that one either. God willing i will pass and get the grade that i'm hoping for.
insya'allah.
now i'm left with a long weekend to study for the coming two papers. to all who wished me luck like dear oke and my bro wj, thank you many many and i wish you all the best for your papers too...
toodles~
