Today...

So... today's Tuesday. Today's 17/4/2012... Today's the end of the KEJORA holidays. Today I'll be going back to TGB MJSC. Today I have not finished my biology homework. Today I'm cool.

I don't know to be excited or depressed or anything. I'm like "...I have no feelings whatsoever". Haha since when I got home, I didn't feel like being... really at home. With the homework and chores, I don't feel like I'm on holiday. Ugh, don't these people know the meaning of holidays? Well, at least I didn't do everything at the last moment. I can proudly say I've finished 95% of my homework.

Well that's all from me in this month. See you next month guys :)

UPSS 1 SEM 1 2012

Last week, TGB MJSC had an examination or a UPSS. For the form 4s, it's the UPSS 1 and for the form 5s, it's the UPSS 2. My mummy forbade me to stay up at night to study after lights off, so I obeyed her. And it was for a good cause...? I don't really know how to put it but I didn't suffer by not studying after lights off.

So, I got two papers back. Additional Mathematics and Biology. Killer subjects wew. But I honestly think the Modern Mathematics paper was a lot harder. I got an A+ for Additional Mathematics, which is just like, nyaris2 , because it's 90% -.- And I got 87% for Biology. Still the highest in the class hihihihihi alhamdulillah.

So that is all. Farewell. Oh and I'm back until next Tuesday! =D

Sleepover 2k12

Assalamualaikum and happy holidays. Ceh, ok. Last night Syazana and I had a sleepover at my house. We only have sleepovers at my dad's house because there's more privacy and I don't have to deal with the constant knocking from Ilyas when I'm at my dad's place. I downloaded Dead Silence, a movie I watched at TGB.

I called for the pizza. Hehehe domino's pizza~~~ I ordered a regular cheese burst double decker meatasaurus. It was full of meat, mushroom, barbecue sauce. Yum... Ok so we ate on my bed and thankfully we were 16 so no ants came up to bite me at night. I put some chili flakes on the pizza and combined with the barbecue sauce... I'll leave it for you guys to put your imagination to work. After we finished the pizza, we watched the movie. I was soooo grateful I didn't download Ju-On. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I did... Even though I have already watched the movie, I still cover my face with a pillow hehe.

After the movie ended, we stalked some people online, namely the seniors at my school. I am okay. Hahaha. Let's just say they're not as skema as I thought they are. I won't spill anything anymore about mine and Syazana's stalking talent (kidding). You guys have to stalk em yourself. Then Syazana got tired and went to sleep whereas I continued reading dramione fanfiction. I read so much these past few days... If fanfiction can be written in the Nilam book, then I'd have the title NILAM already instead of Gangsa.

 ^Click on the picture to view it in full size^

So I ended up going to sleep at around half past three in the morning. I woke up to Syazana flapping (is it the right word? Not fapping, flapping) my comforter. I wore a baju kelawar, I can't very well type bat shirt can I? Hahahahaha ok that sounds weird. And so my 'pajamas' were lifted up while sleeping. So I woke up because I felt cold huhuhu Syazana shame on you. At 12.30, she went home.......yeah and now I'm typing away on my blog. 

That's all I think. Farewell. Assalamualaikum

Bleak

I spent some time with Syazana today. I faced some... hardship just now but I decided it's not worth ranting about. No hardship is actually. And I spent the rest of the day finishing my Biology homework and reading fanfiction. Well, mostly reading fanfiction, dramione ones.

I have to list down the homework one by one so my life will be more organized during this school holiday which doesn't seem like a holiday at all. So, here ya go.

BM : -folio Renyah
BI : ELBS on hardship
MM : finished
MT : finished
BIO : notes, module
CHEM : module, module, folio on chapter 8
PHY : module
SEJ : folio on role models/tokoh, notes
SK : bind the module, notes

so far... well... things seem bleak. But no worries, since...

Allah does not burden anyone, except with something within its capacity; beneficial for it is the virtue it earned, and harmful for it is the evil it earned; "Our Lord! Do not seize us if we forget or are mistaken; our Lord! And do not place on us a heavy burden (responsibility) as You did on those before us; our Lord! And do not impose on us a burden, for which we do not have the strength; and pardon us - and forgive us - and have mercy on us - You are our Master, therefore help us against the disbelievers."

So I know I can finish those homework on time! Go Dania go. Selamanya~ selamanya~ selamanya telekom juara~~~~ Ok tiba-tiba je nyanyi lagu rumah sukan. Bye bye, Assalamualaikum

Tun Ghafar Baba MJSC

For the first time ever, I am proud and content with my school in almost all aspects. As of now, I can proudly say that I am a student of Tun Ghafar Baba MJSC, Jasin, Melaka. The title looks super right, right? Hehehe. Seriously, I love my school!

Let me rant about all the differences that I noticed. First of all, the size. TGB MJSC has an area of 50 acres. Get it, 50 acres? 50 acres is equivalent to 202 341.821 square metres! I don't know the size of SMK Jalan Empat but... it's quite evident that TGB is massive. Plus, my dorm is like on one corner, and the BA (Blok Akademik) is like near another corner. Haaaa but I still haven't lose weight huhu.


Next, TGB MJSC is called Bumi Tarbiyyah. At first, I had no idea why did they call it that. But after a few days, I found the answer. TGB emits an aura to do good deeds. My mouth don't feel heavy to recite the Al-Qur'an and Al-Ma'thurat. I don't feel heavy and lazy to pray. But I am proud of the way I changed. I no longer talk to guys as much as I did in JESS. You can count using the fingers on your right hand how many times I talked to a guy for other than important stuffs, and the minimum distance is 1m. I don't know why, but I feel calmer in this place. Just imagine, you lost a purse containing RM50. Of course I felt sad, I tried to look for it, but after a while, I relied to Allah and I don't feel nervous, I just felt... calm. 


I love hearing the voices recite the Asma Al Husna, especially in the surau. I love hearing the bilals recite the azan. I love competing with my friends for hafazan. I love the joy of teaching the Holy Qur'an to other people. I love that we 'selawat' whenever someone is called up to give a speech or talk about something. I love that we do our work to the fullest, gila-gila like Encik Ismail said. I love being single. I love thinking about how I should improve myself. I love 409 2012. I love TGB MJSC batch 2012/2013. I love how I think more about Allah and the afterlife. I love how a simple story of Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam can make me shed tears. All of them are fillah. 

Cheers!

My blog looks sort of cheery with a light background and the cat gif, but when I read the posts... they look like they were typed by a suicidal teenager... which I am not. Suicidal, I mean. I am a perfectly typical teenager. So I decided to be more cheerful in my blog. I'll try not to post those emotional stuffs like I'm some sort of permanently heartbroken teen, which I am also not...

So! Today I didn't go to school, I went to Hospital Pakar An-Nur for a medical check-up, you know, for the MRSM entrance. I drank 7 cups of cold water and the container is still... less than a fifth full. How sad T.T And then my bladder decided "oh, the check-up's over. Better get full then". I was like "........." Hahaha. And and and that evening mummy bought two baju kurungs for me! Thanks mummy :3 The total was 320 har-har I felt guilty... But mummy was the one who offered to buy it.

If you're a loyal fan (ceh!) of my blog, you'll notice that I have a new playlist up there, or beside here, wherever. There are 2 One Direction songs which concludes that I am a 1D fan, for now. I mean, how could I NOT love Harry Styles. His voice is like electric! The part that says "You're my kryptonite" in One Thing is ugh *eargasm*. Plus, he's really cute. Even though his face is very very very cute, his voice is not like JB (Justin Bieber ok not Johor Bahru (failed attempt to make jokes)) his hair is not like JB. So he's unique! *hugs imaginary Harry Styles*

Even though I'm moving in a few days, moving schools, that is, I still come to school (except for today...) and I still do my homework! Diligent eh? Muahahaha *vain*. Well, I better catch up with my homework with Syazana. I'm gonna miss her :( We're gonna do a sleepover later this weekend. You guys are hereby uninvited (hoho) to my slumber party.

Love,
Dania

Sorry to Say

I have a friend. But she comes to me when she doesn't have a friend. When I don't follow in her footsteps, she leaves me and goes off with another who follows hers.

In this post, I would like to express my disappointment in her. We went to tuition together, so obviously she sits next to me all the time. During tuition, she texts a guy. She said that he's not her boyfriend. I used to resent him so much last year but I apologised so I don't hate him, I just like, don't care or whatever. When I asked her who was she texting, and she answered, I decided to be playful like last year, like always and say "eeeeeww!". She didn't even look at me or acknowledge that I was saying anything. Okay, never mind.

When I got home, I was infatuated by Hana Yori Dango. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to a DVD store and look for the DVDs. Since I already watched the whole series (season 1, season 2, final movie), I wanted to search for a new drama, J-Drama preferably, so I sent a message to my 'friend' asking her for recommendations. Guess what? I sent the message like 30 minutes ago and I still haven't got any replies. None at all. What a great friend.

You can reply your 'NOT BOYFRIEND's text while learning but you can't reply the one you claim as your 'best friend's text at all? Sorry to say, but **** ***. I tried to find other words to express my disappointment and anger, but only those two words came to mind.

Lost Hope

I went to netball practice for the first time in my life just now. I arrived at school at around 3.50 pm by bike. I sat on a bench in the canteen full of hope that Iman would come there quick. Alas, she arrived. The practice began by running three rounds around the netball court. My shoelace untied itself magically during the last round  and Zahra told me about it. I tried to brush it off by saying it's okay and stuff but she said it'd be very dangerous , so I tied it up again.

Then came the horrifying part. When they did the in-and-out or whatever it is, I... failed miserably. Not only did I didn't jump, I couldn't catch the ball well either. Finally, a senior taught me privately by throwing the ball at me and made me throw it back to her quickly until my hands almost went numb. I didn't give up yet but I felt like this sport wasn't for me. Then Fithriyaani coached me. The ball hit my face at least twice because of my inexperience catching it. Playing defence to me just meant preventing the opposing team from getting the ball, not catching it myself. Soon, I felt light-headed. I said "I don't think I can do this (being on the team for a long-term) but Iman and Fithriyaani encouraged me by saying "Don't worry, it happens when you're new". If you can guess what happened next, you obviously know me well.

I almost fainted.

No big deal, I faint once almost every month. Twice each month if I'm unlucky and it's a schooling month with no holidays. Thrice if there're sport practice. 

Okay so back to the story. I was sent to the canteen, feeling very light-headed and tired. My hands felt really numb. I felt very useless. Like I disappointed everybody. I disappointed myself. I have never trained a sport for a long-term and not faint or almost faint. Swimming may be the best sport for me, but the first time I swam 10 laps of freestyle? I couldn't get up in the changing room and everything sort of became dark. Handball? Even though I scored a goal (superbly if I may say so, the senior said so too), I still didn't get picked for the school team. 

When I first started freestyle last two years, I kept swallowing the pool water and it burnt my throat. I kept saying to the coach and the senior that I can't do it. The coach said "You don't know yet if you can do it or not if you don't practice", so I trained and I found out that freestyle is the best swimming style I can do! In netball, my friends said almost the same thing, but I didn't feel the burst of motivation, of passion. I think I know why. If I suck in swimming, it won't affect anyone but me. Only I would get hurt in the process. It's a solo sport. Netball, on the other hand, requires teamwork. If I flunk, it might make the whole team flunk too. See what I mean? 

As a conclusion to my first long blog entry of the year, I'd like to say that I don't think I'm quite fit for netball. What if I faint during a match? Ooh, that wouldn't look good. I need to swim again. I think that's the only thing for me, swimming. 

Results

As most of you already know, I am a 15 year old student/girl. And as almost the whole Malaysia knows, the results for the PMR 2011 is out today. But seriously, there was this shopkeeper or cashier whoever she is, she didn't know a thing about this! Talk about not watching the news. Not to badmouth but, don't adults usually watch news, read newspapers? Oh well, maybe she doesn't have a relative who took PMR this year. I went to a sort of grocery shop, or is Double Four classified as a mini shop? Haha whatever. I was wearing my school uniform, and she was like "Ada SPM lagi ke?" and I was like in my heart "okay... she doesn't seem like to have a Twitter", I replied "tak lah, PMR.". She suddenly got weird and asked "Tengah PMR ke sekarang?". In my heart I was like "Gosh lady, it's the results not the exam itself today!" but I said "Tak, hari ni ambil result.". Then she was like all surprised and whatnots and said "Ehh, hari ni ke?". Yes ma'am, it's today...

So I sauntered (LOL okay no I went to the car) to school. Only a handful of students were there. I was afraid I'd be the odd one out wearing proper school uniform, but it turned out that I was lucky! The students who wore other clothes besides the school uniform must go back and change. Hehehe I thank Adriana for calling the school. Or was it her mum... Aaaanyway, Sarah got her results by 10.10 am. All of us were scared and nervous and having chest pains and whatnots. I texted the 15888 at 10.08, and I got the reply at 11.00 am, touché. We had to wait for soooo-oh-ooooo long for the slip. But my nervousness ended early because I got the text at 11.00 am or something. Guess what I got? Hehehehe here, I'll show you the most valuable 20 sen message I ever got!

RM0.20 PMR: 960527...... BD113K... 8A. Keputusan penuh boleh diperolehi di
Sekolah/JPN. Terima Kasih.

Okay so the scary part ended for me, all there's left to do is share it with mummy and daddy. Daddy didn't want to come because there's mummy. Please daddy, mummy doesn't care sangat pun. And then, the slips were released! 

My class, 3 Inovatif, is the only class which all the students in it got straight As. Inos2011 rule! Like the twitter hashtag #OnlyIn3Inovatif2011. The hashtag was actually created by me just without the 2011, but someone added the 2011 and... yeah it got famous. Ugh damn you, you someone. So SMK Jalan Empat has a total of 228 students out of 300+ who got straight As for the 2011 PMR! Go JESS! Haha why am I suddenly so proud about the school.

EDIT : I forgot to put a screencap of something! I definitely must must must put it here! Muhammad Shukril Naim got an A for his Bahasa Melayu! You certainly made Puan Norlina proud today. 

p/s : I still hate the person who marked Syazana's papers...

Overseas

Atiqah just got back from Japan. I am tremendously jealous of her. She got to stay with a real Japanese family, go to a Japanese school and to sum things up, she really lived like a Japanese T.T I wish I had gone there too. While she was there enjoying herself, I'm stuck here in Malaysia playing games till morning. Takpalah, there's no use getting jealous pun. It's not like I can do anything about it, right?

On the other hand, I'm going to Singapore on the 25th :D Yeah, yeah, it's not Japan. But still, it's still another country. I helped book the flight and tickets to Universal Studios Singapore, THE FLIGHT BOOKING WAS VERY HARD. You know Jetstar, yeah that one, I typed in all the credit card details and stuff, then suddenly when it was processing, the server timed out! The frustration... Then we went to Air Asia site and it was tedious work filling out each of the guest names (P/S : we're going with Alang's family, so it'll total up to 8 people. YES EIGHT.) Suddenly, Alang got a confirmation from Jetstar and we were like "what? didn't it time out?". So she called Citibank or whatever it is and it turned out the booking was successful. What a waste of time filling out all the details...

Booking the tickets for Universal Studios was easy. We also bought the express pass which costs $50 each. So we don't have to que :3 Hehe so long queues!

Reunited!

Alhamdulillah after so long, this blog is finally free from the virus Google said it had. I, for one, have never posted any malicious link on this blog. Every posted link have been viewed before posting so it must be because of some mistake :/

When was the last time I posted on this blog eh? Maybe it was a long time ago, but I don't care. I miss this blog so dearly and I will continue writing all my misadventures and whatnots here. Due to the lack of blogging, I haven't accustomed myself to write long paragraphs so my posts might be shorter than before. Oh dear, I really miss this blog!

Netball

Even though I'm sleepy and it's already 10:50 pm, I'm still excited. The Form 3 students have an inter-class competition for netball and football. The football is naturally for the boys while the girls have to play netball.

My class, 3 Inovatif was the first to compete. Haaa we were like "OMG we're first!". We played against Dinamik. I was goal defence during the first half while Sarah was GD during the second half. It was a clean game with lots of whistle sounds -_- we were the first, what did you expect? A seamless game? Think again haha. Even though it was clean, with no severe fouls, one person from Dinamik sweared. Uh oh, that's enough to be considered a foul ~ But we let it go because maybe it was instinct when pushed from behind. Finally, we won with the score 4-0. Iman scored 4 of the goals I think (?).

Our second game was during like, what 10 something or 11-ish... against Cendekia. Cendekia was feared, a lot, by all of us. It was rumoured that they play hard and aggressive. They also have good teamwork. If Idzni, Fithriyaani, Iman, Aiman wasn't in our team, we'd surely lose by what, 6 marks? Haha. It was a tough match and I pushed, a lot. Hey, not fouls okay just shoving with shoulders lightly. I mean, they're girls, and I'm not that mean. But I ain't no angel too haha. I was WA (Wing Attack. Reference for Adriana, our self-appointed coach whose assistant does a better job (Amalia)) for the first half and gave it to Sarah for the second half. Fithriyaani had to be GD because for God's sake we're competing against Cendekia! During the second half and we were leading with 3-2, I was walking to and fro restlessly, continuously asking for how much time is left. When it was 1 minutes and 30 seconds more, the Cendekias realized we were stalling as much as we could so they couldn't score and we would win since the time is so short. Suddenly, a miracle happened. We scored. And after the shoot, time's up. Hehehe so we won by 4-2. Two shoots were scored by Iman, and 2 more by Aiman.

Tomorrow we're fighting against Proactive during like 9 something and then Kreatif during 11 something. Gotta bring sunblock. Wish us Inovatifs luck! Tata.

Commonwealth

According to Wikipedia...

"The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and formerly known as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organisation of fifty-four independent member states."

According to Puan Noormala, there will be a competition just for commonwealth countries hosted by The Royal Commonwealth Society. If you studied History during Form 3, you would know that our country, is a commonwealth country. I have decided to enter one out of a few competitions, that one being the Commonwealth Essay Competition 2012. The others are photographic and vision awards.

Since a friend of mine who has less talent than me in photography had the nerves to talk about the wideness of that person's knowledge of photography (I know that person's just copying what another friend told that person), I've decided I'm going to enter the essay competition and write what that person couldn't : an essay of 1200 words minimum.

Go on, wish me luck. Bye bye.

Agendas

I'm getting hyped up over... absolutely nothing. Funny how when people are stressed about exams, they tend to say "I can't wait to get this stuff over with" but then when it's over for real, they are like "Ugh this is so boring, I wan't to go back in time". Oh come on people, it's no use whining over how bored you are. People don't care. They just don't. So instead of whining and complaining, try to make the best of your free time before you're tortured again next year.

As for me, I have mapped out a few agendas in the bundle of nerves workshop in my head.

1. Go to Petrosains


    Truth is, I don't like going there too much. Because I've gotten bored of all the attractions. But when it's with friends... now that's a completely different story. The best things over there were the slide and the mini show. The slide because we can hear what the people in the slide is saying because it echoes, loud. Kamal was like "Weeehihihi" and we were laughing our heads off when we heard that. When he got down, he thought people didn't hear him. Too bad dude, we already did. The mini show because... well it was exciting. Plain exciting and fun and funny.

2. Go to Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2011

    I have never been to a book warehouse sale. Ever. So I was really excited to go there. The prices of the books there are amazingly ridiculous. You can get a hardcover of Shadowland which I bought last year at a price of around RM70 at a price of just RM8. Yes, that cheap. When I walked in, I was like "This is amazing". All the books, piled up, thousands of them, are amazingly breathtaking. Heh, those anti-books people must be like "How can piles of books be breathtaking?". Right. It's a passion.

3. Go to Kuiz Kesihatan Mental 2011

    It was today, you know. Held at the Hospital Serdang Auditorium. Our group consisted of me, Azri, Julaikha and Sarah. After lat tali lat, we decided that me, Azri and Julaikha would compete. Sarah was a spectator. We got 3rd place and won a hamper (we shared them among our classmates) and an 8GB pendrive for the three of us, each. We lost to Sri Ayesha and SMAP Kajang, but it was a fun quiz and we enjoyed ourselves :)

4. Read all books in the waiting list

    There are so many books in the waiting list, I can't possibly list all of them.

5. Go swimming

    Please, even once during this 2 month rest, I would like to go swimming...

6. Cycle around the neighbourhood

7. Do and finish a presentation on road safety

8. Cook and bake

Well, I think that's all -_- that's enough to keep me from moaning "this is boooooriiiing". Byebye

Sweet Turned Bitter

PMR is over so I won't be using Bahasa Melayu for my posts anymore. Well, maybe when SPM is near I'll do it again. After that... I don't think I'll be having any more Bahasa examinations...

This day is supposed to be a joyous day for us who don't have exams tomorrow. But for me... this day turned out to be a day to be remembered as a sad, sad day. Who wouldn't be sad if the person who took care of them when they were small, passed away?

My great-grandmother passed away this morning, at the age of 86, only about two months after my family and my aunt's family celebrated her 86th birthday. During her birthday celebration, she said something like "haha nak masuk kubur dah baru hari jadi". Didn't really expect it to be true... She got TB just a few weeks ago and had to be hospitalized. My maid said that my great-grandmother told her she saw two people in white walk into the ward in the middle of the night. I don't know who those are. She did not die out of TB. She was cured and brought back to Taiping before she let out her last breath.

My great-grandmother was a very strong woman. Even at the age of 80-ish, she was still able to walk without a walking stick. When I was five, I always refused to take a shower since I was too lazy. She had the courtesy of chasing after me in circles while holding a cane. I was faster haha but eventually I took the shower.

When I was a baby, just two months old, I was sent to my mom's hometown, Taiping, because we didn't have a maid back then... My great-grandmother always gave me a bath. I saw a photo of me in all my naked glory, in a large, crimson basin and my great-grandmother's old, wrinkled, clad in gold hands.

I can't bring myself to write anymore. For those who are kind enough to spare a few seconds, please recite the Al-Fatihah for her and pray for her.

Assalamualaikum

Terdesak

Dalam era pascamodenisasi ini, kita sering dibelenggu dengan pelbagai dugaan dan cabaran. Pada saat-saat ini, dugaan yang amat besar sedang menimpa pelajar-pelajar yang berumur lima belas tahun kerana mereka bakal menduduki peperiksaan yang mungkin akan menentukan kejayaan mereka dalam medan perjuangan. Diri saya sendiri tidak terlepas daripada ujian kurniaan Allah ini.

Oleh sebab keputusan Peperiksaan Percubaan Penilaian Menengah Rendah saya tidak memberangsangkan, saya bertekad untuk insaf. Saya ingin memperbaik kemahiran menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu dan memperluas kosa kata saya. Hal ini demikian kerana saya telah ditimpa dengan 'B' yang amat mengecewakan. 78 peratus itu bukanlah senang untuk dilupakan dalam peperiksaan yang begitu penting. Amatlah mengejutkan kerana saya, seorang insan bergelar Melayu, mendapat "Kepujian" sahaja dalam mata pelajaran yang berkisar dengan bahasa sendiri tetapi mendapat "Cemerlang" dalam mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggeris. 

Mesej ini ditujukan khas kepada insan-insan yang sudi membaca penulisan saya ini 

"Saya akan menduduki peperiksaan yang penting. Tolong doakan kejayaan saya. Apabila saya mula menulis dalam bahasa asli saya, maknanya saya benar-benar terdesak. Harap maklum."

"Pastikan 8A dalam genggaman" -Ustazah Anidah 

Ameen.

Scourgify

My blog's gotten dusty. So here goes... scourgify. Now it's impeccably clean from any physical (verbal dirt is still there though, I do remember my swearing posts) dirt and/or dust.

I went to Taiping to celebrate Eid. Yaya and I were supposed to go back to Machang but we sort of... feel left out whenever we're there. We only had each other and it was depressing T.T I like it at Taiping because I'm close, no, ditch that, I'm metaphorically stuck to them. Especially the eight-year old one. Her name's Farah. I call her 'Baby'. She's so gonna hit me if she (ever) knows of my blog.

For the record, I did help out in the kitchen. Don't scoff at me. Sure, I played games (I downloaded a game when it was only I think four days shy of one month to PMR), but I helped out... I babysat the none too angelic baby brother of mine. I secretly think he's going to be the next Voldemort LOL. I never woke up later than 10 (I think).

The great thing about that place is, I don't want to go back. It's so peaceful there. Sure, Taiping is not exactly known for it's village-sceneries-and-touch but it's better than the concrete jungles here. The trees here are bald compared to the trees there! Bald I say, bald. 

The bad things... I don't even want to talk about my mom's constant nagging and ordering and mood swings and anger management issues etc. She'd easily pass for an angry bird in an audition.

It's Never Too Late to Learn

We, the Form 3 students of SMK Jalan Empat, had an examination today. It was PJK, PSK and PSV. Wow, all starting with Ps. I don't like peas. Nor do I like nuts. Anyway, back to the main topic. The 2011 trial examination timetable for Thursday and Friday is...

Thursday : Bahasa Melayu Pemahaman and Penulisan, Science Paper (?)

Friday : History

So, no pressure. I just have to do a bit more revision on history and do lots of exercises on Stars and Galaxies and the Chapter 10 of Science, and I'm good to go. Hopefully, I'll get straight A's due to the tons of homework and exercises (really, for History we did more than 1000 questions already) our darling teachers gave us.

Now I know why our school produces so much straight A students in PMR. It's because of the mountains of exercises! When we do exercises lots of times, we tend to remember the facts in the questions. Especially if we get the wrong answer for the same questions lots of times. So, for the lazier students, they have a chance to still score As because the information sticks inside their brains. But to be on the safe side and secure yourself a spot in the straight A list, it's best to study and give it your all in the examinations.

I rarely study, but I make up with exercises and focusing in class. I know, who am I to give out tips? You're probably like "Hey, you're the girl from last year who always sleeps in class!".

Sod off.

For your information, I did not sleep the whole time. Only during BM and English and Geography (wow, now I know why I sort of suck in the last part of Form 2 Geography -_- and really, I'm regretting not paying attention during BM, I have to like copy down seven pages worth of Pahlawan Pasir Salak plot notes from a reference book, and I did not like it one bit. When I go to Form 4, I'm buying all the SPM reference books early next year). This year, I can proudly say "I did not sleep when the teacher's teaching".

Trust me, it pays a lot to pay attention in class. You give your attention, and the teacher's words almost literally sticks to the insides of your head. So the bottom line is (somehow this sentence is familiar to my PLBS speech on caffeine (you know, the one I posted sometime before)) if you pay attention in class, you don't have too much to worry about :)

Last but not least, good luck to all 2011 PMR candidates, no matter which school you're from.

Australian Mathematics Competition

There was this Australian Mathematics Competition at school just now. I'm in the Intermediate Division. Last year I was in the Junior Division. So then I ranked top 38% in the region. This year... I don't even want to think about the results. I'd be lucky to even get into the top 45%. The questions... Don't even mention it. I think answering 100 PMR standard Mathematics question plus 25 IQ questions is easier than this.

My head was like "hey Dania, stop forcing me to work. I've reached my limit. Better stop before I explode" and I was like "no no don't explode just yet. Just a few more questions. Work faster, time's running out" and then it was like "Error, error, brain overworked. Standby mode in 5, 4, 3, 2, ooneee...--" Okay the last one was a lie. But really, it's super hard. Even Naim couldn't answer some of them, let alone me.

POTTERMORE

Do you know what is Pottermore? No? Then sorry if you won't understand a thing I'm about to say.

I GOT INTO POTTERMORE! XD I LEVITATED THE FEATHER AND I WAS LIKE "COME ON, COME ON!" AND WHEN IT SAID CONGRATULATIONS I WAS LIKE "BLOODY HELL, I MADE IT!" AND SCREAMED OUT OF JOY. DO YOU LIKE EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HAPPY AM I? THEN WHEN I GOT THE VERIFICATION E-MAIL I WAS LIKE *le creys*.
