Application

Is there still hope for my UCAS application?

I hope so.

Deadline was 15th of October.

Yet my application is still pending.

IUPC here has already sent it over. To the education adviser. And a counselor is checking for me. Or so I was told.

But I'm not really sure as to why it's still pending and not sent.

Luckily, IUPC said that they would sort out this matter for me.

A tiny glimmer of hope is still here, and I'm hanging on to it.

Let this be all sorted out by tomorrow.

*Praying hard*

Wish me luck! :)

Reactions to Hair Cut

This will be on both reactions to my hair cut and my sis's hair cut.

1. My sis's hair cut
  • My dad :" What happened to your hair? It looks horrible! It was so long and nice before, why cut it? Now it looks terrible!"
  • Her tuition mates (*looked shocked and taken aback when she stepped into class. Stared at her hair as if some terrible thing just happened)
  • One of her tuition mates :"What happened to your hair? Your mom cut your hair for you ah?" (interpreted, it means your hair looks horrible!)
  • Her tuition teacher :"Oh my god! What happened to your hair?! What happened to your hair?! Oh, I mean, what happened to the rest of your hair."
  • My grandma :"Now it's much neater."
2. My hair cut
  • My dad just hurmphed when he saw my new hair cut. It wasn't that long to begin with, so there's not much reaction anyway.
  • My granddad :"Ah..this is nice. But if it's half an inch shorter, it would be nicer. Go and cut it shorter la.."
  • My grandma :"Hmmm, like that la, neater."

One good thing out of the hair cut - I look younger! Hahahaha......

The other day, when I bought something, instead of calling me 'miss', the auntie called me 'mei mei'.

It's been such a long time since someone called me 'mei mei'. This is something to celebrate! :)

Mei mei, mei mei, mei mei.........

I'm now a little mei mei... :DDD

New Hair Cut

All through primary school, I had short hair. Really short hair. Boy-cut hair. I could say that my hair was the shortest among all the girls in my class.

It's not that I didn't want to have long hair. The school rules say that we are not to keep our hair below the collars of the school uniform.

So, you could imagine how much I was craving to have long hair.

After Standard 6, I was just so excited. Finally, I was able to keep my hair as long as I wanted.

My aim: I wanted hair that reached past my waist! :DD

Stepping into secondary school, I was very very reluctant to have my hair cut.

Why?

Because cutting it means that my hair will become shorter! Haha..

I was only cutting my hair when absolutely necessary, ermm, about once or twice per year.

After an agonising 4-5 years wait, my hair was waist length.

Woohoo~~

Long hair at last!!!

Up to last year, I didn't like going for a hair cut. I find it a waste of my money, and more importantly, my hair! :)

However, something got into me this year.

I wanted to cut my hair as short as possible!

Dec 31, 2008. Told the hairdresser to cut my hair short.
Result: The length of my hair halved.

March 2009. Told the a different hairdresser to cut my hair as short as possible.
Result: The whole shop was more or less covered in my hair. My hair shortened to shoulder length.

May 2009. Another hair cut.

July 2009. Another hair cut.

October 2009. Latest hair cut. Together with little sis. Where both of us cut most of our hair.
Result: According to the hairdresser, it's back to F3, F4 look. Skeptical about it at first, but believing it now. :D

Conclusion: Love my new hair cut! :)

Lousy Service

I just love my place here.

A world class university providing world class education in a world class environment.

Yeah, right. As if.

Beginning of September, complained of bad internet connection, was told that repairing it would take 3 weeks.

Okay, fine.

I don't like it, but I'll bear with it.

Middle of October, internet connection seems to get worse.

What's the excuse now?

I just love the way my parents money is used to provide such good service for us.

Wonder why they even bother to collect so much money from us every semester.

Oh ya...I forgot...

The cool green house they are building, of course.

*smacks head*

How could I have forgotten such an important thing?

With the green houses built, we would just need to drink some chlorophyll, or put on some chlorophyll lotion, then sit there while photosynthesis takes place. Then we wouldn't need to spend money on food. Right?

How considerate.

So, that's probably why I just love this place so much.

Protein!

Protein, protein~~

I'm craving for protein....

Since I'm now going jogging more often (maybe), I'm going to need more protein for my overworked muscles to repair themselves and hopefully grow? :)

More protein, less carbo. Is that what I'm supposed to eat? Lolx..

Muscles come come come....

Fats go go go..... As far away as possible... :D

I just had 200grams of chicken meat today!

Hmm....How much protein does that contain?

Is that enough for today?

I'm wondering.

What should I eat tomorrow?

Shocker Test!

Nobody ever imagined that this would happen.

Though our Chemistry lecturer did say that we would be having our test anytime from yesterday, never did we expect to have a test so soon.

Especially TODAY!!!

Nobody believed it when our unofficial class rep said that there would be a test today. (Or maybe we were just in denial. Who knows?)

But when our lecturer came in clutching a pile of papers, we knew we had to face reality.

Lots of bargaining with the lecturer to postpone the test went on, but to no avail. Our lecturer merely grinned and said that he told us there would be a test even before the Raya break.

Well, we were like, What? No lah, Sir. You didn't tell us also. You just told us about the test yesterday! Let us have the test on another day lah~~

Seeing our futile attempts at postponing the test, out lecturer gave us one of his trademark grins and shook his head, saying, No, you will be having the test today. Its just a simple test.

OMG...

1 thing everyone should know about teachers is that their definition of easy is never the same as our definition of easy.

So, I totally gave up on the test. But since leaving the paper blank would be bad for my image (I'm a good girl..lolx), I wrote whatever I could think of, never mind if it was unrelated to the question. xD

After that, I just sat there, doing nothing in particular, waiting impatiently to get out of the class. Hahah.. :)

I wonder what my result would be like.

Though I really really really hope that I won't fail the paper. Wish me luck! :)

When???

Since the start of my A-levels in July last year, I have been observing all three of my lecturers (and an additional lecturer since July this year).

What I noticed was that my Chemistry lecturer is real cute...

He is cute in every way, from his style of teaching, to his way of making sure we understand, to the way he answers our questions.

Come to think of it, everything about him just says 'CUTE'! :)

Example 1.
Someone asks a question: 'Sir, how do we ______?'
*Laughter* 'Just put _____ la...' (Btw, I may have imagined the la, can't remember if it was in the sentence).

Example 2.
Someone asks: 'Sir, why does this mechanism happen?'
*Laughter* 'It just happens. In Chemistry, don't ask why, ask how.' *More laughter*

Example 3.
'Okay class, we have finished the chapter.' *Grin*
Our reaction (well, at least my reaction) :' What?? Finished the whole chapter already? OMG!!'
(This reaction is justified, because sometime my lecturer finishes the entire topic in 2 lessons! But as we progressed through A-levels, we have begun to get used to this.)

Example 4.
'Okay, understand?' *Leans forwards towards class*

Example 5.
When discussing something from the previous topics:
'_____, right?'
This only gets blank stares from the class.

'Hey, remember or not? It's in your topic__?' *Laughs* 'Remember?'

After much pointers on what was going on, class finally come out with this response :'Ooooohhh...'

Lecturer just laughs more. :D

However, I must say that my lecturer is the cutest when announcing our tests. (Not even test results, mind you. Just the test date!)

Example 6.
On Tuesday, my lecturer says: 'Okay class, we have our test this Friday, okay?'
Imagine our reaction! We were so stunned. Then we started moaning and bargaining....
But of course, our lecturer would not be swayed by our excuses (who would, anyway?).
He merely laughs all the way out of the classroom.....

The latest happened just today.

After class, our lecturer told us that we would be having a test soon.

Quoting my lecturer: 'Okay class, you'll be having your test soon. Your test could be anytime. Starting from today. Okay? The topics included will be Organic Chemistry, the Aldehydes and Ketones, Carbocylic Acid....'

As you can probably imagine, we were real shocked, to say the least.

We don't even know the date of our test!

And people like me are just too lazy to prepare too far ahead of the test.

So, you see...I'm kind of in a predicament here.

How am I going to prepare for a test to which I do not know the date????

Oh my my my!
