Btn course - Final 2 days (at last...)

Day 4 :

By the third day, we've all gotten used to the life in Kem Bumi Jati (Our Camp).

At 6.30am, we would drag ourselves out of bed. Then we'd start grumbling about how early we have to wake up.

At 7.00am, everyone at the camp would line up (in zombie-like-half-asleep mode) and sing Negaraku while the Jalur Gemilang is being raised. Then we would go for our breakfast at the Dewan Makan and later on, go for our LDK.

LDK for day 4 was just plain boring. No other words can describe it. I even almost fell asleep with my eyes opened . lol. We discussed issues that I don't think I can reveal online on my blog ifyouknowwhatImean.

Later that night, we had a 'Study group' to prepare ourselves for the exam the next day (Yes!!!we even have exams in camps!!!!poor us. Kesian leh?)

Suprisingly, some of us actually managed to study. Hmmm..Well, I did kinda study..Well, sorta anyways..

After 30mins of studying, me, Hong Ping and Jo-Anne started telling each other jokes. Hehe, it was fun la. But I think we were disturbing the other people around us.

Hong Ping and Jo-Anne

Amazingly I managed to finish 2 out of the 4 books that we were supposed to read.

Day 5 : Exam Day!

Chang chang chang....

Exam day! Everyone was in the exam mood. Lots of people doing last minute studying.

Well actually, the exam itself wasn't all that bad. You just need ur basic Malaysian history knowledge plus the ability to judge situations the way we are supposed to ifyouknowwhatImean *wink*.

With the big exam off our shoulders, we had nothing else to worry about. We spent the rest of the time we had left in the camp just lepak-ing and chatting.

At around 1pm, it was sort of bitter sweet moment for us. Sweet because we finally get to go back home. Bitter because all of us are JPA scholars and most of us live in different states and will be futhering our studies in different countries (With me being the only one going to New Zealand. *swt*).

Our Dorm - Jujur

We said our last goodbyes to the camp and took the bus back to INTEC.

Back at INTEC the guys decided to go for a short game of DoTA. Won twice and lost once . Hehe...

Then, we met up with the girls in McD's (Yes...they have McD's INTEC..It's not that ulu you know.) And guess what ? Quan Yie my BRATs/INTEC friend whom I haven't met for about a year was there too! Surprise surprise . Lol.

Anyways, we didn't stay that long because we were all tired from the course. Soon, I was on my way back home.

Our gang!! From top clockwise - Hong Ping, Me, Jolene, Han Yi and Jo-Anne. Ehh..nope..we weren't trying to act cool at the back there..

The guys doing the WTFish sign from Russell Peters.

Well, the BTN course turned out to be quite an experience. The course that i've been dreading to go wasn't bad at all. Mostly because all the great people I met there that made the course so much more interesting.

Anyways I had a great time there . Probably one of the highlights for my life this year.

Yet Another Birthday Post!

*Ahem ahem*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE YEW!!!!!!!


The sleepy-blur-blur-I-don't-wanna-get-up-for-morning-classes-but-still-get-straight-"A's girl.

Hahaha..

Eventhough I didn't see her for half of the 8.00am classes, she's been a really great person to hang out with in college.

And all our crazy blow-up-the-lab experiments we had in our Chemistry Practicals.

(Evil Geniuses at work - Waa, we look so pro in this picture..)

So for being such a great friend, you get to have half your head here on my blog for a few days!!!


Muahahahahahaha *With lightning in the background*

Waaa, I've been really busy again. But hopefully everything will slow down soon.

Here's a hint :

Deng!!

Hehe.

BTN Course Day 2 and 3

Man..I'm gettin quite annoyed with blogger this few days. I just typed out a really long entry and wanted to save it as a draft. Click on the "Save as draft button" then Poof!!! I went to some error screen. Haihh, now I have to re-type everything.

Day 2 :

By the second day, things pretty much settled down.




Slept quite well that night. Actually, I'm quite proud of my abillity to sleep almost anywhere. Be it on a bed, on the floor, on tables, on chairs, while sitting up, squatting, standing up, In the middle of a conversation, on a treadmill ..etc.etc..Haha..Ermm..quite embarresed about the last one there. People who know me well should know the story right? Hehe

Anyways, we had 4 friggin ceramah's that day! Other being insanely boring, it was actually a great time to learn how to write your name in different languages.

There's the basic English,

And Chinese,
Then there's the not so common Russian, all curly like some Maggi Mee or "Meh-Jeee Mee" as Jez or her Aussie friends would pronounce it.

And Arabian,

Here's the Russian ABC

Cool Eh?

Haratio!

By the 4th Ceramah, me and Xin Yun weren't paying attention at all. We were right at the back chatting about anime and stuff like that.

In the evening, Pak Zamri, our Ketua Jurulatih called us out off our dorm to go for some Ujian Latihan Fizikal.

Ohhh..

Sounds tough.

There were many challenging exercises to prepare us for the tough overseas life such as

*Drum rolls*

The One Leg Stand!!! *Oooooo*

And the,

*Gasp*

Spin Around!!!

Lol

Some of us even passed out!

Okok..I just made that last bit up.

Day 3 :

We had our LDK (Latihan Dalam Kumpulan) which took up the entire day.

My group (Group 7) was one of the lucky groups to get one of the 2 only Air-Con rooms. Woot!

Nothing much happened that day. My brain almost shut down a few times during the LDK that day.

Ok. That's about it.

Day 4 and 5 coming up ( Too lazy to blog now)

Woot-ness!!

A-Levels Exam Result day a.k.a Doomsday is finally over!!

Woot!!!

But before that, lets rewind to the day before I collected my results.

There was this rumour going around saying that the A Levels department will call whoever who scored 3 As and above the day before the results are released. Meaning that if they don't call you, you probably only get 1-2 As.

Anyways, didn't really know whether it was true or not because I didn't know where the rumour came from. It could just been a prank to make us A-Levels students suffer.

So, I decided to ignore it and continue with my daily life.

On thursday at 4pm : No call from A-levels department.

5pm : Still no call. I decided it was kinda of late for the A levels people to still be working so it must be a rumour.

6pm : Went back home from work early to "prepare" myelf.

7pm : Went to Mid Valley for a quick hair cut.

THEN IT HAPPENED!!!

At approx 7.15 WHILE I was having my haircut, my phone started to ring. I dug my hands into my pocket and clumsily pulled out my handphone.

It was the "A-Levels" Department!

With my already sweaty hands, I pressed the green button.

The conversation went something like this:

Me : Hello??
Kam Lin (KL) : Hello!!! This is Kam Lin from the A-Levels department.
Me : Oh Hi!!!
KL : Congrats, you are one of the top achievers for A-Levels exam this year!!!
Me : *FAINTS*

Hahaha..Nolah..I didn't actually faint.

Me : Ohhhhh!!!
KL : Will you be free this saturday? We will be having a photo shoot for our top achievers.
Me : Ok. So whats my result like?
KL : Ermmmm..Aaaa.aaaa..aaaaaa...Cannot tell..Hehe.
Me : *Swt* really cannot meh?
KL : Cannot laaa..Find out tomorrow lohh...And wear something formal on Saturday.
Me : Oh..Ok laaa.
KL : Ok then, bye!!
Me : Bye!!!

Woot!!!

So that's 3 As confirmed for me. The only thing is that I didn't know whether I would get 4 As.

*Fast Forwards to the next day*

Yih Hon came along with me to HELP that day to teman me to collect my results. After much hesitation, I finally decided to line up and collect my results.

I tell you, that was one of the longest line I ever had to queue up for.

Time practically stopped.

Bit by bit, I inched my way to the dreaded results.

Would my Bio get an A?

Reluctantly, I surrendered my student's ID for the person in charge to find my results.

Moments later, she pulled out one blue paper.

And it read :

Hehe

Woot!!!

Straight "A"s baby!!

I'm on top of the world!!

Seriously, I didn't expect my Bio to get an A.

Firstly because, I really don't like Bio.

Secondly because I totally screwed up W2 paper.

Thirdly, I only got an average of 80.75% for Biology in my As. Super borderline "A"

But now,

I got an A for Biology!!

Ohhh

I love Biology now!!!

Hehe

And not just that, I managed to pull up my Bio grade to an average of 90.5%

I'm just shocked that I did so well for Bio this term.

I mean, I repeated my Bio 3 and 4 and scored 88% and 98% for each.

And 95% for Bio Unit 5???

Man..I really suprised myself.

Well, I'm very very happy with my results this time. I scored an average of over 90% for all my subjects except for Physics (Please don't ask me why..Hehe)

And of course, I couldn't have done this by myself.

Gotta steal a line from Michelle's blog

"All Glory to God!"

Thank God for helping me throughout my exam. Who kept me going on eventhough I was sick at one point.

Thanks to everyone who came to my blog to support me!!

Yih Hon, Jez, Lizzie, Hoay Fern, Kuan Kit, Wuei Yunn, Michelle,..etc.etc

And also "Ribuan terima kasih" to my college friends who was always there to help me out with my work :

Wei Ping, Hui Xia, Hao Wei, Wen Bin...etc etc

And not forgetting my lecturers:

Mrs Lai, Mrs Jaslinder, Mrs Teoh a.k.a Mrs Smiley Face, Mr Lee, Ms Aw..etc..etcc

Of course I didn't forget my Bible Study gang,

Leader Fu Sheng, and Jason Wong.

Special thanks to Yih Hon who was there to accompany me.

Special thanks to Jez who was always there to help me.

Our group photo for the top achievers in HELP is coming out soon. I'll update everyone when that happens!

BTN Day 1

Phewww..Just arrived back from BTN Course somewhere in Shah Alam/Klang...It was quite an experience for me. Well, everything is finally settling down. So, I'm gonna start blogging more frequently for now on. Hehe

Ok, so on the first day of the course, I arrived at Intec Seksyen 18 alone. There was already a whole bunch of Intec students hanging around. Being the only person from HELP going to this course, I tried randomly asking some students here and there to find people who are going to the same course. But to my dismay, most of them ARE going for the course, but not the one in Klang. *Sweat*

Anyways, after about half an hour, I finally found a few people who are going to Klang. Introduced myself and got to know them only to find out that I was somehow connected to them through some friends. Yes, I know its quite common for this to happens. But it's still fun and suprising!

So here's some people who were from my course :

  1. Joon Heng - A guy who knows my friend, Voon Kiat from Taylors too.
  2. Jor How and Hong Ping - Knows Shaun and Zhao who I know from Michelle Yew
  3. Eu Jin - My long lost 1 week INTEC AusMat Classmate. Hehe. Didn't expect to see him there.
  4. Victor - Knows Quan Yie who was in my BRATs workshop.
  5. Jo-Anne - Hmm..I've got alot of friends in common with her. I think all the "Jo-s" have the same taste for friends. Hehe.. Anyways, it turns out that she is Shaun and Zhao's classmate and is also Quan Yie's school classmate and also Jessica's classmate who was MY classmate in college. And she also knows Michelle Yew from the cambridge interview. It's a wonder we've never met each other before.
  6. Han Yi - Looks super familiar. And it turns out that she plays frisbee in UM. Hmm..Might have seen her before.
  7. Sara- Knows Jo Ee, Michelle Yew's (and also my) friend. And also knows Quan Yie from INTEC.
  8. Xin Yun - Ermm...We both love anime...so ermm..Anime is our friend in common..LOL

Ok, that's all I can remember.

Its a small small world man..

Anyways, the toilet there was really dirty.

As in there's-bugs-in-the-water-that-we-use-to-shower dirty.


Other than the toilet, the place wasn't that bad. I mean, I've been through worse laaaa...

That night we went for some briefing at the Dewan Cemerlang and went for a short Yum Char session afterwards.

Ok, that's all for Day 1.

Day 2 to 5 coming soon.

Will also blog about the Genting trip, Jubilee Perak dinner, my office and Other Birthdays soon!!

Its nice to be blogging again!

Dumb Blondes

Its been a long time since I had a lame entry.

Anyways, I bet everyone knows about dumb blondes.

Actually, they are not exactly dumb.

They are just not-so-smart, thats all.

Observe :


Yes, I'm sure everyone has seen this picture before.

Well, here's Jo-Shua's version of dumb blondes:

The Astro "Press R" button appearing on your TV.

Dumb Blondes..


Zhar Dou...

-----------------------

Okok, I know I've not been blogging for quite some time now. Its mostly because I'm so very busy lately. Everything is coming at one go!

Its like a Blardy Stampede!

Lol

First I had my music exam,

Then my Ex-School's Jubilee Perak dinner,

Then came my Job at Standard Chattered,

Then my Genting Trip (Will blog about it in a while),

Then my BTN (Biro Tatanegara) Course in Klang,

Then my A-Levels result which is coming out on the 18th/19th.

And thats not all....

Arrgghhh!!

Nevermind, I love being busy..

Why?

Coz when I'm busy, I don't have to think.

Less Headache.

But rest assured. I'll continue blogging once everything settles down.

I'll be heading off to Klang for the BTN course from the 10th-14th August!! Keep sending me SMS so that I won't die of boredom!!!

See ya guys in a while!
