Kanashii no jikan desu..

Haihzz... So sad! SOMEBODY actually forgot my birthday..!!! Tension level low adi.. Hehe.. Nevermind, I'm a good person, I forgive and DON'T forget..

Today I had my MUET speaking test! For those 'ignorant' ppl, its an English test if you wanna get into any Malaysian universities.. I was in the last group of the day.. Waited SOOO long! Without my phone! Yes, the temporarily 'confiscated' my phone since its an exam. Oh well, I was so bored I began to take out a piece of paper, pencil, eraser and a photo sticker that I took with some friends some time ago and started drawing. Well, like all my other drawings (biological cells included), my friends ended up looking like cartoons! Anime in my opinion.. SY is gonna kill me if she finds out!! I'll scan it and post it when I have the time and effort!

Well, back to the exam, when it was my turn, of course I was nervous. Adding up with the AC blowing my right in the face, I started shivering like CRAZY until the guy in my group started to think I was paranoid. Of course I stuttered and mumbled abit (or alot) here and there but the guy in front of me was talking like its nothing at all. And here I was talking like I was about to cry! In a way it was admiration (real skills) and in a way it was fustration (HATE to lose), more of fustration though..

Anyways, I came back and started my nonscense - inking my drawing and of course, using my beloved computer.

Don't you just find it cute when a guy who has so common knowledge of English confesses to you "I love you so much to you!!!" so confidently? I do! Although, I would think twice before accepting his confession! - Not a true incident, I saw it on TV...

Me ga itai!

Funny thing.. Usually people would update less when they're having exams.. I seem to be updating almost everyday! More of than without exams. Maybe its just my way of getting my mind off the exams for a while.. Or maybe because I'm getting lazier by the day!

Today sat for Physics practical and Thinking Skills.. How ironic, my two WORST subjects on the same day! Somebody in Cambridge must be plotting against me.. Well, phy practicals were ok, WAAAYY better then chem practicals. I could actually finish the paper! Yippie! What a 'coincidence'. I mean, my trials involved measuring angles with the addition of paper clips and so did my FINALS!! The only different thing is that the finals included sand and a plumb line.. All the same concept! To me, it was too close to be a coincidence man..

The sand was the hard part though.. Getting just the right amound of sand into the container and all took me like about 10 minutes! After that it was 'kinda' smooth going... But the combination of wind and sand is a bad thing! Some of the sand got into my eye making it itchy and eventually painful to the point it was tearing (explains my title).

Was tearing all the way to thinking skills. Really, during the time interval I had something like a brain blockage.. I couldn't do a thing. All I could do was just listen to my clasmates discussing past year papers at MY table.. When TKS started I was still rubbing my eye sitting RIGHT IN FRONT of the discussion room! Worst place to sit at man.. But one good thing was that it was not too cold.

There were so many questions (more than 5) in the TKS paper that were WHOLLY repeated from past year papers!! Wow! Talk about cheating!! Kinda happy la, I knew most of the answers.. Even the answers, not even the orientation of the answers were changed.. Word for Word!

Futsuu..

Well, nothing special happened today.. I guess its just a conspiracy to make yesterday the weirdest day..

For starters, todays was kinda gloomy as i caught a flu... Can't be a cold as is was suuuuper hot yesterday (remember, no electricity!). I guess I got it because by immunity was kinda down due to the exhaustion (didn't sleep the hole night - remember, no electricity). Better start geting better - don't want a leaking nose during the exams worst thing to ever happen!

I went to pp & lp at church today.. I expected people to be shocked because its been such a long time since Joanna came but they were like "Hey! blah blah..." like normal as if I have been coming every week as usual.. We're all practicing for the Christmas Celebration service on the 24th (pj) and 25th (klang). We're going traditional again this year since for the previous years we have been giving them more modern and contemporary dances.

I'll be playing the angklung chords with Charity. First time for me to do chords. I thought of doing the ordinary chords our seniors used, Lynette and Sanam are using. Apparently we're using the GIGANTIC 2 LEVEL set. I decided I'll be going the lower level because I wanted to sit while playing but gave the excuse that I was more 'vertically challenged' so Chat would be more suitable for the higher level.

The set was still in Klang and they didn't transport it over yet so I was set to help our CONDUCTOR, conducting the main anglung team comprising of mostly the younger kids and some of the older ones..

Sonia (ms. conductor) was too soft in instructing the kids so I became the bossy bad guy and started becoming the 'substitute' and the PA system. I suppose those kids must be thinking "Who is this girl to just come in out of no where and start yelling at us? She's not even a regular". Haha..

But controlling them was hard, I kept telling them to hold the angklung in place even when it was not their turn and concentrate by always looking at the conductor BUT NOOO... They kept holding the insrument like they were holding a machine gun and there was one girl who had the attention span of like 0.01 seconds!!! She kept looking all over the place an missing her turns!! Geram wanna yell at her but she's still a small girl (but big enough to understand by SIMPLE English)

I'm worried that I won't be able to get the notes right in time.. I mean, looking at my friends doing their chords is really scaring me! So fast! Summore its been such a long time, I forgot how to read music notes!! And I have my exams!!! How leh? Oh well, when there is a will, there is a way!! Just that I don't know if my will is willing..

Maji de? Yabai!

Its official! Joanna's 18th birthday is the weirdest day ever. Not just weirdest birthday, probably THE weirdest day I have ever encountered thoughout the whole 18 years 10 hours of my life!!!

I was going for breakfast with my dad and his few friends. One of them was helping by talking me through the different paths I may take to my medical carrier.. I thought by going to PMC 2 years later was going to Penang for 2.5 years then to Ireland for another 2.5 years later... Apparently, ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!

IM GOING TO IRELAND IN 2 YEARS!!

Its too soon for me to leave the nest.. I still want to be elidgable to be enrolled in the PaMa (Papa and Mama) program!!!

Well, after that, dad's other friend stopped by the hardware store (the one in SS3 next to 7eleven). Dad and I went to 7/11 to buy bread and obviously there were a few school boys (from the school of yours truly) 'lepakking' in front with their footballs. From the colour of the name tags, I knew they were f3. I was thinking to myself, why would they be wasting their study time with football and lepakking (pointing out the obvious - its PMR season)

So, I shrugged it off and went out to wait in front of the hardware store with my 'education advisor' (thank God for good, helpful and caring people!). Suddenly out of nowhere the f3 'friends' started shouting and cursing and pushing each other.. Dad approached them abit with the 'intention of intimidating them to stop' (to me he looked like a completely ignored statue in the middle of the walk way - no offence dad). Suddenly they started kicking each other.

When dad was just about to 'interfere and stop the fight', a normal clothes policeman stopped them just in time so dad didn't have to do anything (sense the sarcasm?) , yet he still just stood there like he was 'in control' of the situation.

Saw 2 f3 guys walk pass us to he nearest clinic with one having a bleeding temple. Dad and his friend started joking the DR JOANNA can stitch it up for him given the wires, pliers and spirit from the hardware store FOC!

Apparently the bruised boy's 'friend' brought a pocket knife and cut him on the temple! Kids these days.. Isn't it like a barangan larangan in the school (no names mentioned)? What happened to the good not so old days when the only barangan larangan we brought were handphones, CDs, mp3 players, fire crackers,...etc?

HOw did I know all that? See, my dad, as his friend told me was suffering a temporary case of KPC-itis in which the body was temporarily too busy (busy body).

Summore some of the guys were wearing the school PE clothes and SCHOOL UNIFORM! How did they get so DUMB?! I mean, ANYONE in the RIGHT MIND would not even point a knife in public let alone point a knife at his friend while wearing school clothes, is about to sit for the major exam and risk being barred from the exam and expulsion? Where's the brains in that?!

Oh well, that sums it all up! Many things have happened today which lead to today being the weirdest day ever!

TANJOUBI OMEDETTOU..

... to me and my 'twin' SOOK YIN!! Had a nice time last night.. Really nice of you guys (sy, waiwai, alex) to ajak me out and 'treat' me makan! This was after the makan..




Haha guess whose hand is that..? Reaching for something at the other far end of the table.. Went back to alex's house and had 'coke'. JUST coke! (*clears throat*)


In the beginning, I thought that today would be the WORST birthday ever.. I mean, who would have thought that just mere MINUTES before midnight the electricity would just DIE!! Its not just the ordinary "Let's call TNB to fix it " die, its the "Short circuit soewhere in the house! We have to find it and fix in on own" die!!! So dad and I were switching every main power source off. My laptop (source of hope on a dying battery) was left on while dad and I were searching high and low..


Apparently the fan in the living room had sparks. Dad and I disconnected the live wire, the sparks stopped BUT the electricity did not come back!! Had to wait all the way till morning then call the electrician to look at it. HOW TO SLEEP?!!? Cannot sleep when its too quite and when about too sleep, stupid mosquitoes start hovering around my ears making that annoying sound! (hot must open windows mar.. hence the mosquitoes) At then, I began to think that this was the worst birthday ever!!


One by one the birthday wishes came to which I replied them all.. Happy la, while suffering! Suddenly about 4.00am sumthing Kavin replied my message saying he was late coz he was taking a 'walk'. Who would take a walk at 4.00am? Apparently he just came back from supper ith his friends. Chatted with him for a while.. At least I was not bored..


Suddenly at about 5.30am there were 'FIREWORKS'!!! Apparently one of the elctricity lines of the nearby house blew up causing a chain reaction throughout the whole 2-3 roads. I thought there was some shoot-out between the police and some robbers, then I realised the lights of the next house flickering. I called TNB (this time can call them) straight away and reported what happened..


Still had no electricity at my house. Then, when my dad was about to send my bro to school, I decided to restart the fuse box and tweak the circuit breaker for one last time...

..AND THERE WAS LIGHT!!!

Happiest moment of my life! Didn't sleep the whole night! Parents told me to get some sleep but just couldn't coz I know if I were to sleep now, who knows when will I wake up (just in time for dinner maybe?) Haha! Seriously the weirdest birthday morning ever!

Iin desu..

Today's Maths paper 1 was ok.. Paper lasted for 1hr 45 mins but I managed to finish the paper (minus the few I wasn't sure of) withing 1hour. Had to sketch 2 graphs (I HATE GRAPHS!!). Left that and 2 more unsure questions for th 2nd round.. Managed to finish everything and check with 10 minutes to go.. I was feeling bored (and cold! and annoyed - guy sniffling beside me) so I decided to write all my answers on the question paper with the intention of checking later.. Who knew that it was actually a CLOSED PAPER!! Wasted my effort for no reason! Well, at least I let time pass without being bored.

No exams till next week! (That's mainly why Im online right now..) YAY!! In 2 days time get to celebrate a BIG day! Haha.. So sad have to celebrate during exams.. Well, kinda used to it already lorr.. Every year also during exams.. Haihzz.. At least get treated for dinner by my parents! Will be looking foward to it!

Nakitai!!

I seriously want to cry right now!! Chemistry practical is such a screw up!! I mean sure, nobody could finish the paper but THAT itself is SO FUSTRATING!!! Don't even have any time to finish up all my calculations! In the beginning there were already problems with my apparatus! I mean one was stuck and the other was leaking! How great was that! I didn't discover the leaking one until the mid of the exam.. I had to practically drain all the solution out, clean the other burette and use that, took me more that 5 minutes (precious time)!!

Then when I wanted to take distilled water from the main dispenser the stupid thing broke and I caused such a problem with all that water flying out under pressure! I even wet the sleeve of my lab coat! Then we had to deal with potassium manganate (IV)!! The worst solution that can ever be provided! I mean, there was never once I dealt with that solution without staining my clothes or hands and the reading is so hard to see!!

The others were kinda OK but too time consuming. Before i realised it, there was only 5 minutes left! I only managed to fill in the stuff that I could do easily and took lots of marks, that also not enough! I really have nothing nice to say today, didn't even have the appetite to eat but was forced by my dad.. Now I'm in my room feeling bad for myself and scolding myself like crazy! Have to get over it soon though.. Have Maths tomorrow!

Nagai no POST!!!

Wow! It has been such a long time since I updated!! Actually I wanted to update yesterday but somehow my internet was not at its best! Well, I don't think I would be updating anytime soon coz of my finals. What a drag!! From Oct14 till Nov21!!! So long!!! Well, at least it gives me time to study in between.

Just two random pictures showing how 'rajin' my classmate can be..

The first picture is actually books! 4 of them! 4 freaking thick and heavy books borrowed from the library (Refer to the faint stamp marks)!! The second pic is actually workings for 1 particullar page on maths past year. All three copies of them! The one on the right was the 1st attempt, on the left was the 2nd more organised attempt and the middle one was the 3RD 'I feel like doing it again so Im scribbling on the paper' attempt!!! I'll post when there is a fourth..

Karaoke is fun!! Well, I've never been to one before but I tried on my computer. I joined this online karaoke community where we do cover songs on our fav artists!! Its really fun getting to compile our songs with other ppl's and listening to the end result. Of coure there would be out tunes here and there but hey!, the mic can be blamed for many things!! XD

I even downloaded this software which is really cool! I recorded my voice for this song 5 times covering 5 different individuals!! The software allows a person to change the pitch of their recorded voice but I preferred to change my voice while recording manually.. I did that, downloaded the PV then dubbed the song with my voice!! I love technology! I even posted the video on a video sharing website *hint hint* and got a good comment and 5 stars!! The number of views also exceeded the numbers I got for my other videos! Not to blow my own trumpet, but can't help it.. I'm so excited!!

There has been something bothering me since the beginning of this year and I finally decided to FINALLY draw a conclusion! I have spotted 3 JE look-alikes in my college! 2 guys that look like one skinny and one buff Shige (Kato Shigeaki), even with the same hairstyle although Shige is kinda blond-ish now; and one girl that looks like a female version of Taipi (Fujigaya Taisuke) curly hair and all, but longer!! There I said it! I would take a picture and make comparison but that would just be so weird! They don't know me and taking their pics would make me a stalker? Haha! Oh well, to make sure I always make a comparison my my head when I see them..
