March week 4


Last week was a rather dull one. School was the norm, insipid and monotonous with lessons and homework. Of course there were tuitions to attend as well, which makes me thoroughly lethargic by the time I am home. Well, I suppose this is a typical day in the life of an average teenager.

On Friday, my friends and I were supposed to watch 'The Vow' but unfortunately, I could not make it. On Saturday, however, I headed off to One Utama in sheer merriment and ebullience to watch the much-anticipated movie, The Hunger Games! I have been dying to watch this movie ever since it came to my knowledge, for I find the storyline extremely compelling and adrenaline-rushing. Much to my melancholy, I was short of luck that day for the tickets were entirely sold out. Well, that news was not shocking in the least bit for it is undoubtedly acknowledged that the 'Hunger Games' books received extremely high sales and naturally, people would expect this movie to be phenomenal. Nevertheless, I still want to watch this movie and hopefully, the theaters will no longer be fully booked once the hype dwindles.

March week 4


So school is back and the results of the first term tests are out. Honestly my grades were a little disappointing I have to say. I thought I can do better than that. Although I did not put in my best efforts this term I still hoped for good grades. Guess I really deserve it. The only results that I am satisfied with is my physics which scored an A+ when I was expecting an A-. least now that I have woken from my slumber, at least I think I have, I can really throw in all my extra time to work hard on the upcoming mid-term examinations. Somehow my friends are starting to stress about applying for scholarship mainly the Asean scholarship. It is kind of scary for me to even think of leaving home and going to Singapore to further my studies but of course this is for the benefit of me. I am still considering whether to apply for the scholarship or not because for now I am still reluctant to go for this opportunity. Should I ?

Finally! The holidays are here. On Monday, I went to Neway, One Utama to karaoke with my family for the first time. I usually karaoke with my friends. It was so fun. I got to sing all my favourite songs with my family. The best part is that everyone was willing to sing even though we don't sound good. I just like singing a lot. It has been my hobby since young to sing. Anyway, I was too tired to attend my tuition class that day so i skipped it feeling guilty. At least I managed to attend my other classes for the week. As usual, I left all my homework to the last minute. Here I am rushing to do all my homework that my teachers have left me with for the holidays. I hope sooner or later I will break this bad habit

March week 2


Here I go. Its the first term so called small test. It does not seem small to me at all because all the questions were pretty tough. I canceled all my plans for the week and focused on my studies. At first I thought it was not too hard but then after the biology paper, i lost all my mood for the rest of the papers. For the whole week i fear of failing my biology paper. How sad indeed. I even realised some silly mistakes made on my mathematics paper. I guess the lesson learnt is to check my answers more than twice during examinations. All I know is after the last paper on Friday I felt so happy that the test was over and that I get to enjoy a whole week of school-free days! YAY ! 


That Sunday, I went to The Pavillion with my friends Jia Yin, Pei Ming and Sze Yuin. We watched the movie titled "This Means War" Starring the most gorgeous guy ever, Chris Pine !!!!!! We tried on prom dresses too. My friends even got me to try on this royal blue prom dress at BCBGMaxazria. The dress was really nice but costly too.

Feb week 5/March week 1

The time has come. The results of the English Drama Competition 2012 were announced on Monday. Even with doubts of winning because of some errors with the music, we managed to rise to victory. As soon as we were announced as champion, I cheered as loud as I can for my beloved class. It felt good when we were finally rewarded for all our efforts. Just when I thought everybody would be happy, a problem came up. Because of everyone’s commitment in our drama, many are not satisfied with the award distribution when they were not chosen as one of the fifteen to receive the prize. The once peaceful class I know was no longer peaceful with all the hatred and dissatisfaction going on. I just hope one day they will realize that the feeling of victory is much more important than some prize.

Besides that, the first term’s test is in a week. I panicked on Wednesday realizing that I only have a few days to revise. I managed to find some time for my revision by either studying in school or studying during my nap time. I just hope it is enough for me to score good results.

Journal 5 (Week 4 Feb)

Feb Week 4

Ever since last year, I have already been excited about the English class drama for Form5. After going through many problems, our drama was over. We started the script early because we thought that the actors and actresses would need lots of practice. Our first meeting was in January at Starbucks. Only 6 people showed up that day namely me, Sze Yuin, Jia Yin, Pei Ming, Esther and Zhi Hao. I was quite disappointed with the fact that not many people showed support at the beginning. In the first meeting, we thought of the plot of the drama and decided to go with the good versus evil theme. On that day, we have decided on the characters and who would be playing the roles. But of course things changed along the way and ended up fine. Weeks have passed until the script was completed. Things even got a little messy because of uncooperative people. Not only that, some even demanded for a main role. Because of that, many new characters were created to satisfy them. I even had a little argument with my dear friend. 

two weeks before the drama competition, Mun Yan, who was supposed to be the actress of Bridgett was busy with her swimming competition so I became Bridgett for awhile because according to my friends, I can act as a bimbo chick. Not that I agree. But overall it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed acting. The next week everyone was practicing really hardly because the competition is only a few days away. They all did really well in playing their parts.

On the day of the competition, I was feeling very nervous for everyone even though I only play the part of supporting Vladimir, the villain. When the drama started, everyone did well as expected except for the prefect from another class who messed up the music. Even though some of the lines were wrong, they managed to form their own sentences with the same meaning. I was really proud of my class that day. We took pictures as a class after our drama. This drama has united our class into one big family. I can feel the unbreakable bond between us that day. This is really something I would remember for life and this is how I want my senior year to be like. I love my class 5 Belian. 

Journal 4 (Week 3 Feb)

Feb Week 3

This week, the exam timetable was out. I am not prepared at all to sit for the upcoming test. I promised myself to start studying next week and I hope that I will keep that promise. In school, I got to act as the character Bridgett in our class drama because Mun Yan was busy with her swimming competitions. It was a fun experience indeed. The most exciting thing of the week was rocking out at Avril Lavigne's live concert, The Black Star Tour at Stadium Merdeka with my friend.  

Me and my friends arrived at Stadium Merdeka at about 5.30p.m. and waited for one and a half hour before entering the stadium. We hurried to the best seats we could find and enjoyed the music by the DJ while waiting for the pop star to show up. It even started raining but we managed to get raincoats so we would not get wet. Not too long after, Avril was on stage performing all my favourite songs . I danced and sang along to all the songs ignoring the rain. Too bad all good things have to come to an end. After the concert, I bought some of her fabulous merchandises there to remember the concert forever. I only got home at about 12.00a.m.. I was still feeling excited when I got to bed.
