Yee ‘O Lost Souls

Hello! Its been a while since my last update. I thought my connection was down so I didnt go online.  What a nice way to find out huh? I just found it weird that my downloads were doing fine but I cant sign in on msn. Then when I turn on IE, it said it cannot work offline and has to connect. So it connects…

And here I am! LOL! It was so funny! I feel so clumsy lol. Anyway I dont have homework tonight and I feel bored. I actually watched TV! I rarely watch TV. It gives me headache. I watch only the programs I like and I dont like sticking to a regular program. My friend Annie ahs been keeping me informed about trading lately. I so envy her. I placed some trades and lose 2500!! Hahaha.

Its just my second week in Swinburne and our next assessment is next week! I feel it goes by so fast. And my English is slowly getting influence! NOOO!!! I’m struggling to keep my standard of English here. Trying not to speak Manglish or Singlish or that new term…Chinglish. They are basically the same anyway…

Oh I went and  checked out this Puteri Hang Li Po play last Sunday night with my sis and my friend. What do I have to say about it? It will be…WOW! I mean, it was just amazing! Its a musical play and has some romance and some regal stuff. But everything is balanced out. Its very, very nice. I wish the international students in my class could go see it. Pretty much almost half of the play was in Chinese but they display subtitles in the screen in both sides of the stage. Not entirely accurate but it was sufficient I guess. The actors and actresses were excellent. They are REAL actors and actresses and a couple of familiar faces on TV too. Too bad i forgot her name I just remembered Louisa Chong. If its playing in your area, go check it out!!!! For 8 ringgit, you get so much more than you paid for!!! :D.

Also, one thing I notice when I’m studying in Swinburne is…when I say I want to get HD (high distinction 85-100 marks) for all subjects, my peers were like "Woah… so confident huh?" and "That’s hard!"

…Is it really that hard to believe? I mean, outside my school environment, I don’t know how people react to such ambitions. Back in school, we are used to setting high scores. We always aim for As even if we know we can only manage a few. the usual responds I get is "Go for it!" or "Yes you can do it!" cliche, I know, but its the truth. My fellow friends, leave some comemnts about this so people know Im not lying okay :P. I mean come on, I aimed for 9 As for PMR and got only 5. Did it stop me from aiming for 14 As in SPM? No. I mean I only take 5 subjects for foundation. So it shouldn’t be that hard, right? The lecturers are there to help you, so use it to you advantage! I know I plan to hehehe. I even heard people saying "I’m gonna fail this subject, I think." I know who you are :P. I can’t believe I’m hearing such demotivating things so early in the semester! Looks like I’m gonna have to bring my trumpet and blow some energy into these people.

Of course A is better B and a HD is better than just a D (distinction)right? I’m bad at math, but I won’t say I’m going to fail it. I won’t even say I’ll aim for any lower than HD. I’m shooting for the moon man, and I’m gonna hit it! You won’t be seeing me among the stars. Even if I did fall among the stars, I won’t be staying there. I’ll be on my journey to the moon. :P. And nothing’s gonna stop me. Not situations, not circumstances, not excuses. The only thing that’s going to stop me is myself. I’ve held on this drive for so long. I’m not going to let go now. Ooooh yeah, I’m so going to be there :P. Mark my words.

Yeah I know what some of you are thinking. "What about SPM? Didn’t you aim to fail your science subjects?" Yeah I did. that’s because there was ridiculously too many subjects in my course during high school. I didn’t choose them. And there were many extras. I just don’t like them having shoved into me. Hate em even. But now, I chose to be there, I chose to be in that course. Everything was my own decision. Nobody forced me to take business, nobody forced me to study there. It was all my decision. The only thing I can do is make the best of it! Now I really have no excuse to fail, got it? Yes? Good!

To all of you who had just got into universities, like myself, the only advice I can give you now is to not give up. Presevere! I say it once I’ll say it again. University life is far different from high school. The lecturers will help you, but only if you ask for it. You only get what you want. And don’t demotivate yourself with such useless thoughts. If you find a problem, seek help. Ask your peers, or your lecturers/teachers. They don’t bite :P. Besides, I’m sure that person beside you is scratching his or her head too by that question. Team up and "attack" your teacher hehehehe. I still use the term teacher. What can I say? I’m still a schoolgirl hehehe.

Well, I guess that’s all my ramblings for today. You guys miss my ramblings right? hehehe. Well, time to do something else. I’ve been lacking exercises lately. I do my exercises in the middle of the day now. Before I go to my afternoon class. Keeps me awake :]. Later!
