Cut-A-Thon

So, did you hear about the Cut-A-Thon held at Berjaya Times Square on 25th July, Saturday?

If you didn't, then I only have this to say, "Too bad"...

I went, and I got my hair cut. For free, I should add. And, I'm now a part of the Malaysian Book of Records, what with me being one of the participants for the Cut-A-Thon. LoL..

I came back not only with a new haircut, but also with...


A cute little goodie bag, with...


A cool t-shirt inside! I must say, though this t-shirt may not be made of high quality material (it's free, what do you expect?), it certainly isn't something you can get everyday. I have it, and you don't!!! :P


This is a close-up view of the design on the t-shirt. Let me what you think of it. I'm pretty sure that you will like it though. Because I like it!

Look at this Certificate of Participation! You never know when you need it! LoL...

Seriously Stressed

Oh dear...

It's only the end of the second week of my new semester, and I'm already feeling the stress. The best part is, I'm not even doing a degree course. I'm only doing my A-LEVELS, for goodness sake.

Isn't A-levels supposed to be a Pre-U program? And aren't Pre-U programs supposed to be easy?? Which also means that students are supposed to be relaxed and enjoying life before progressing to a degree course and working life later on.

I mean, when can someone enjoy life without a care in the world? During his school days of course! Well, some may argue that relaxation and enjoyment is best left for the retirement days. But then again, who can claim to be as energetic and as full of life as when they're young?

Seriously, I'm going to need psychiatric help. Depression, anxiety attacks, and stress only spell the beginning of mental problems burdening me.

So much to do, yet so little time. Couple that with terrible time management, and ta-da!! You'll get few mountain loads of things that were due ages ago. Cool... Real cool... Maybe you can try it out some time or other.

Now, let's see. What's on my waiting list?

1. Register for IELTS.
2. Study for IELTS.
3. Study Physics.
4. Figure out what in the world photosynthesis is about.
5. Try to decipher the language of equations and symbols of scientists for Chemistry.
6. Draft out my personal statement.
7. Register for BMAT.
8. Prepare for BMAT.
9. Register for UCAS.
10. Apply through UCAS.
11. Presentation on an unheard of topic for Chemistry, again.
12. Get my certificate.
13. Complete my big fat load of homework.
14. Get a haircut.
15. Search for a nice swimming costume.
16. Tidy my things.
17. Mop the floor.
18. Study, study, study...

Hmmmmm..........

Is that all?

No, of course not. When have I ever been so lucky? The problem now is that I can't recall what else I have to do. OMG...... Horror of horrors. Am I getting amnesia too?

Oh, give me a break......

1 relatively good thing comes out of this though.

I'm finally publishing a new post on my poor little blogie.

Well, what can I say?

I only have some sort of weird inspiration to write when I'm under stress.

Am I a nut case???

I hope not.

Not now, anyway...

Exam Phobia

See how an exam can affect your whole life?

You get insomnia, depression, anxiety attacks, which lead to sleepless nights. Before, during, and after the exam period. Of course, it intensifies dramatically when the results are about to be released.

Oh, the torture of it all...

Why can't we kids just have a nice, relaxing life?

As in, no exams??!?

You may say that exams are good for us, blah blah blah......

But at what cost?

Exams have become the focus of our lives, overwhelming us, as though our existence in this world is for the sole purpose of taking exams after exams.

Now, I'm not saying that exams are bad or exams are of no use to us.

But when it's at the expense of our health, both physical and emotional, we really need to rethink it.

When an exam approaches, students tend to stay up late, some even staying up through the night (with the help of loads of coffee). This weakens the immune system, making students easy targets of disease causing bacteria and viruses.

Then, students get nervous when exams approach. They may be so nervous before an exam that they can't concentrate on anything that they are reading. During the exam, they may be too tensed up that they panic when they see the question paper, and their brain blanks. So, how do you expect them to score in exams?

Surely these are not good for the students? Or anyone else for that matter.

The physical beating their bodies take and the emotional turmoil they go through, exam after exam.

What will happen to them?

Will they become a nut-case, like what I'm becoming now?

Or will they become a psychopath? Going around screaming in the middle of the roads?

Or will they become super-nerds? Burying their heads in books far heavier than them and have no knowledge whatsoever about living a life, or even socialising (with people, not books)?

Now, isn't that an interesting world?

I'll be waiting to see if that happens......

Studying - The Genius Way

Ever wondered how geniuses study? How they always seem to get perfect score after perfect score, effortlessly?

Well... After doing some research (on my genius friend), I think I've got quite a good idea of how geniuses study. Let me share some tips for the long road of studying that lies ahead.

1. If you feel sleepy after reading just 2 lines out of the millions upon millions of lines you are going to have to read for your upcoming exam, fret not! For geniuses feel that way too! Surprised? Don't be. So, the solution. Give in to sleepiness. Get some shut eye. And by that, I mean sleep until you are ready to get up.
2. When you are studying, you would most probably be sitting at your desk, right? Don't do that!! When studying, it's best if you could lie on your comfy bed, hug some pillows or soft toys, and then flip through the reading materials.
3. Fish has been said to contain lots of Omega-3 that's good for your brain. People always say that eating fish is good for your brain, that you'll be smarter if you eat fish. That's just so not true! Don't ever fall for it. That's because, if the fish can be caught, then it can't be smart, right? So how does eating fish make you smart??? Try answering that.
4. Chocolate, ice-cream and french fries have been known to improve brain power. So, the next time you see a bar of chocolate, an ice-cream, or a carton of french fries, don't resist the temptation to eat it. Savour it! You'll be more intelligent!
5. When you get bored after studying, don't push yourself to keep studying. Take a break, a long one. Preferably one that lasts for a few hours. What to do during the break? Relax, of course!

Okay, these are the few tips that have been shared to me, and some of my own suggestions. Feel free to try it out! You'll be studying more efectively and getting better grades in no time at all! Oh, there's no need to thank me. You're most welcomed...

Going Bonkers

Okay... So here I am. Starting a new blog, just a few days before my BIG FAT EXAM next week. Am I just great or what??

Seriously, I'm going out of my mind... I've been crapping non-stop this past week, and my roommate has been suffering. Oh, the poor dear... Maybe I'll have to give her some sisterly advice and get her to switch rooms. If only to save herself from the torture of listening to the nonsense constantly spilling out of my mouth.

Hmmm......

I wonder if she'll heed my advice? Or will she just brush it of as some delirious mumblings of mine?

Well.... We'll see, won't we?

Now, back to the issue of my future-determining exam next week. For someone who is having her exam next week, you would be expecting me to sit down quietly at my desk, memorising and stuffing everything with anything to do with the exam into my tiny little brain, right?

Yeah... I know that too. The problem here is, everytime when I start to even look at something remotely connected to the exam, sleepiness descends.

Let me give you an example.

Equation 1. Studying + Boring = Sleepy
Equation 2. Distractions + Laziness = Procrastination of Studies

So, to solve these 2 equations, add up Equation 1 and 2, and you'll get...........

Boring studies together with laziness and distractions gives sleepy procrastination of studies.

And what does that lead to eventually?

INSANITY!!!

Why else would I be building a Chips-more tower?

Or a Chips-more fortress around my oranges?

Together with my roommate of course.

Wait a second. If me building these is classified as insane, then... My roommate being my partner in crime is... Insanity too??

So that's why we enjoy each other's company so much.

Maybe she doesn't need to switch rooms after all...
