past year

I'll save the hassle of going into detail and writing a post about what happened this year.

I love my family and friends. I don't think I could ever live with the deprivation of both of them, and if I were to, I would be an empty shell. Literally. I tend not to look back on the year, because I still have so much more ahead of me. I'll get to that later. But even if I do look back, it won't be about the darkest moments in the year. It'll just be the good memories that I'll cherish and consequently, remember.

I think I underestimated year 11 too much toward the end of the year. I think the idea of doing well in the first few exams made me too complacent for my own good, and I really don't think I'll do that toward the end of this year. I have too much to look forward to, too much to achieve, and too much to try for.

But even so, I don't think I'll ever lose sight of what's most important to me, especially when I see the people I love 5-7 days a week, non-stop.

You all are beacons of hopeful light for me. I will never forget you. Ever.

A ring is round, it has no end - that's how long I'll be your friend.

So cheesy HAHA But yes. HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE :D

It's been so, so long since I've read a proper book. I suppose Paprika is a good book. It's about this woman and her alter-ego who delve into the minds of people using technology that has allowed psychologists/psychiatrists to treat mental illnesses through interacting and interpreting the patient's dreams. Very interesting, but the writing in my book is so small HAHA I like small writing though, so I suppose it's alright :) SO MANY THINGS TO DO IN SO LITTLE TIME! I haven't touched Business Studies since my great bout of depression over losing 4 marks for the extended response. Still disappointed, but just not to a great degree.

Othilia, I'm going to be replying to your post about the UMAT :D

Well, I suppose I 'must' take it, but you know, you should be open with options. Here are my extremely broad goals for university, listed from what I want to what I'll be able to do if I don't get it.

1. Medicine - Most likely Surgery (so typical, I know)
2. Optometry
3. Psychology
4. Engineering
5. Nanotechnology/something physics related

Unfortunately, I don't see myself doing anything theory-intensive such as another extension of high school English. I'm so sorry for lampooning the interests of many English enthusiasts out there, but it's not my thing :(

So I think I'm leaning toward the idea of 'yes, I will be training intensively for the UMAT despite the cost'. I told my parents, and they don't mind about the money, but it would be appropriate to try my hardest to ACHIEVE MY DREAMS! Really, that's what I want LOL And since it fits into the idea of medicine, why not?

Anyway, moving on. The GAMSAT, as I have gathered from half an hour's worth of reading online, is extremely intense. I think it's the actual idea of 'whole day exam' and 'english, maths, biology, chemistry and physics' part, that gets me. Yes, you'll be tested on English as well. I checked Wikipedia, and it appears to be quite legitimate HAHA. I think you only take the GAMSAT if you want a transfer into a medical course, but I am not sure, and hence don't flame me about my incorrect assumption. And from this, if that is wrong, please tell me LOL If that applies to someone that has already done the UMAT, I need to brace myself for the intense exam :(

So yeah. I actually don't have much to say now HAHA But I must share with you: I FINISHED TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS YEAH! Now I'll just finish my Physics notes and read an act or two of As You Like It before immersing myself in Paprika.

I didn't really know what I wanted for a title HAHA.

Anyway, update on my life so far:

• Played House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets
• Nightmare Mysteries: Asylum Conspiracy
• Finished 5.11 of Trigonometric functions chapter (Test Yourself and Challenge exercise left)
• Still up to 'aether' section of Physics (...)
• I've not been out since Christmas Eve
• I stopped straightening my hair for what seems to be 2 weeks up until now
• I've read Act 1 for As You Like It (I will never read this aloud. To my mom. Who laughs at my poor pronunciation of Shakespearean terms)
• I had a nightmare last night that I was in one of the mystery games I was playing, unable to press 'exit' because I didn't solve the puzzle yet. I hate being trapped LOL And then I woke up and I felt terrified that something might be pulling on my leg. *shivers* Blame it on previous terror/horror films.
• I went back to Naruto fanfiction (SasuSaku or ItaSaku - more the first one, because it's more likely to be canon) because I needed something that wasn't as scary as those games

That is pretty much it. I haven't gotten my textbooks yet, but I'll do so soon. I think I might register for the UMAT practice materials next week...

I'll see how it goes. Goodbye for now!

I'M DYING OF IMPATIENCE NOW, CYNTHIA! :( SIWON IS SOOOOOOO GOOD! :D

So yesterday I was Christmas. Being as impatient as I am, I nagged my mum to open the presents right after dinner. And I got several presents, all I'm extremely thankful for :D But there was one that had me preoccupied the entire day. The Rubik's Cube. It's so late for me to start playing it, but it's so fun. Well, to me it is. EFFECTIVE WAY TO SPEND TIME ALONE! :D

But what made me so pissed was yesterday, my cousin came over and when I just unwrapped it, he began playing with it to the extent where it was loose. LOL I was so fhakjhfalk angry after that. I literally sat there with my head down, feigning sleep because I really wanted to punch him. To make matter's worse, I actually began sleeping. Then he slapped my thigh, which hurt so much (it left a red hand print) and told me to wake up. After that, I think it was pretty obvious as to how pissed I was.

If he does that again, I will create an evident kink in his nose. I honestly don't care how close we are, he should have never slapped me, nor find the comfort in wrecking another's CHRISTMAS PRESENT. *FUMES*

And to make matters worse, my mum just laughed and said it was just for his entertainment. At the cost of mine.

merry christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! It wasn't until I saw Cynthia's short post that I realised that it was Christmas. *palm to face*

I really want to watch Tin Tin. I love Tin Tin. Tin Tin was my childhood, along with Sailor Moon. FIGHTING EVIL BY MOONLIGHT!

I can't wait to open presents :D I hope my aunty likes her present, because I stood in Myers sniffing nice smelling (yet dusty) soap bars. I bought her MOR Lychee Flower soap. It's pink with a black plastic seal. LOOK IT UP, IT SMELLS SO NICE HFKAJLHFA.

Ugh, Si Won is so handsome. hfkjahfdlak. I like the opening as well :D
