Happy birthday to me.

Remember the first time you started talking?
Remember the first time you started walking?
Remember the first time you had your haircut?
Remember the first time you started riding a bike by yourself?
Remember the first time you received a present from someone you didn't know?

More importantly,
Remember your first birthday?

Actually, I don't. 
But I'll definitely remember my first 18th birthday.
It's the first birthday I'm celebrating faaaar away from my family.
They sent their regards and presents. 
I love them so much! =)
I'm really gonna miss them. =(
Another 9 more months to go before I get to see them in person again.
I hate not getting to celebrate joyful moments without my family.
But hell, I can't live with them forever eh?
It's all about reality now.

however...

Yay me!! 
A toast to the next 18!! May you have a memorable birthday and all the best in your future.

Just keep swimming..

First time in my life, I swam in UK. xD 

Swimming pool is freaking salty. Maybe someone urinated there..! =.=.
Very strong after-smell of chlorine too. 
With all the negativities, I still enjoy swimming.

This is a boring short blog. Why? Because I have a feeling someone said my blogs are long. I hate that person. I hate that feeling. Whatever.

The End.

The one with the Flashback

Saturday.. Boring Ol' Saturday. Did nothing beneficial today. Watched hell a lot of episodes of FRIENDS like always and a couple of episodes of BONES. =) Was suppose to start doing some revision and perhaps have a swim but got a little lazy. Typical Peter. 

I got so bored at one moment, so I've decided to do some photography. Took a lot of picture, deleted a lot of picture. While viewing back at pictures that were stored in the laptop, I found one extremely funny

The day the 3 amigos went loco:

Like always, after dinner, we (Pagan,Renze,Eepin and I) would hangout in the kitchen on the 2nd floor and do a little gossip. However, on that day, I didn't wanna stay coz I wanted to watch FRIENDS. Therefore, I went down earlier even though they kept insisted that we stayed at gossip.

Upon seeking vengeance, they tried to hack into my facebook account. Knowing that I've changed my password and couldn't hack into it, they decided to try and reset the password. They knew my hotmail password and knew that after they clicked on the 'reset password' button, an e-mail would be sent, but they didn't realize that I opened that email first.

Instantly, I knew it was them and chatted with Eepin through MSN. Apparently, she said it wasn't her and they were all playing poker. All of them were and still are lousy liars. And then, after a few minute, they confessed and kept consoling me not to be mad or something went I wasn't feeling anything near upset or angry

They came down after that and went a little crazy. Okay, I lied. They went a LOT crazy. In this case, I suppose most people would assume they are on DRUGS but oh well, they are who they are. I managed to take one picture and it turns out like this:

 
Pagan, Renze and Eepin.
Yea, they are really on drugs. Crazy people walking on the street knocking on people's window.. 

Kids, when you see 3 woman who looks like them, remember this:

Bad thing happens if you talk to strangers! Remember..!

you make lemonade..


It's Friday, it's finally friday. No plans for the weekend yet. Intend to sit at home all day watching movies and TV shows. Yay me!! I've got to say,
Addiction is a Mother F*cker. I can't stop watching movies.. 

Got back results from Biology Stage test. Worst one ever in my whole Biology Class in Abbey. Thank god there was UKCAT that day to blame on! xD Coincidence? I don't think so.. 

Chemistry class wasn't that bad I guess. Hopefully, the stage test results would be way much better than biology's. Not much excuse to give this time. =D Kinda liking chemistry more than Biology now. Probably coz Chemistry teacher is much more awesome than Biology Teacher.

Oh yea, this morning was super Foggy. Reminds me of the horror movie, FOG. Not a teeny terrifying at all. I believe in Gods and Devils but that show was not even close to making a baby cry. Well, the fog this morning reminded my of Genting more. Ah, come to think of it, that theme park wasn't that bad at all if one was still in primary school. xD

Mom called today too. What a surprise! Told me laptop back in Malaysia went GAGA again. Temporarily unable to go online and chat with her. Talked about UKCAT and about my university application. I have a very good feeling that I'm going to disappoint her more than I'm gonna disappoint myself. =(

Well, thank god today ended fast and painless. 


Today's word of wisdom to me is:

you know the rest.. =)

buh bye UK.

Finally submitted UCAS today. Devastated. Absolutely devastated. No more London Universities. Gonna start traveling around UK now. All the university choices are around UK. 

Choices:
1) University of Leeds, North of England
2) University of Sheffield, Middle of England
3) University of Cardiff, Southwest of England (in whales)
4) University College of London, obviously London

All no thanks to that exact moment when the universe went wrong and I couldn't finish my Quantitative part of the UKCAT! I blame it on the universe! xD

Very high possibility I couldn't enter UK universities. How did my seniors do it? One entered Imperial, another entered UCL, another one entered Newcastle, then Edinburgh.. They must be Geniuses. I hate them! =D

I can feel my life ending, I don't know how, but I just could feel it. Probably because I lost the will to live.. =(
Couldn't even concentrate on doing simple maths now.. Drawing exponential graphs seemed to be a problem!! Something's wrong with my head.. Emotionally disturbed I guess. =( 

For now, Have to really really really do well in BMAT. No more dreams of scoring the impossibles. Dreams are meant for sleeping!

Have to also stop watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. so frequently too! They are very influencing and not to mention FUNNY! Very bad influence they give. But lots of life experiences can be learnt as well! =D

Peter's word of wisdom today would be:

Notice the peace out sign? I love it! so cute. That little sign cheered up the remaining of my day!

Anger & Disappointment.

This post is to crap about me and my failure. Shall whoever reads this drown in my sorrow. 


UKCAT exam was a total disaster.
I hate myself and I seriously want to die! 


When it all began:
I was happily going to the exam place, in my mind thinking about scoring around what? 700 points and worry a little less about getting into university. A smile in my face, I enter the exam hall..

When the first thing went wrong:
I kinda reached that place a little early. Half an hour early from the appointed time, 1:45 p.m. So I've decided to take a walk around city centre when I kinda lost track of time and arrived there around 1:35 p.m. The receptionist person said I was a little late but doesn't matter, I still could take the exam.

When everything went wrong, but I wasn't aware:
There's four categories in the exam: Verbal, Quantitative, Abstract and Decision Analysis. Approx. 20 minutes to finish around 40 questions for Verbal and Quantitative. around 30 min? to finish abstract and decision analysis. Kinda had to tembak a few questions for Verbal. Managed to finish everything in time. QUANTITATIVE WAS SHIT! I wasn't aware that I ran out of time. While doing the 25th out of 40 question, the whole screen went missing and a message popped out: "Your Time is Up." OH MY F***ING GOD! But I kept telling myself, it's all right, it's all going to be alright. The other 2 wasn't that bad.

All Hell broke lose:
Everything was done. Went out to the receptionist to get my results went I totally stoned. 
Verbal : 610
Quantitative: 370?!?!
Abstract: 670
Decision : 710

Full score is 900


MAJOR BLOOD AND ADRENALINE RUSH. 
I thought I was gonna commit suicide. The one thing I had in mind was first, please let the average be around 600 points! DAMN DAMN DAMN.. Quickly pulled out the calculator  and find the average.... Oh, the suspense was seriously killing me. Got 590 in average. Then I stood there staring blankly for 5 milliseconds, then continued moving. 
Wasn't that bad with 370 in the score but was F***ing disappointed with myself. I shouldn't have spent so much time on one lousy ass kicking hardcore question. GOD.

To express my anger towards myself, I dedicated the following art to me:

UKCAT

It's a very important day tomorrow. 
Peter's taking his UKCAT exam!! 
Peter believe it's far more important than A-levels. 
Peter could be wrong, but he doesn't care!! 

I got no idea what to do with my life right now. My craving for food suddenly BOOOMED. I can't stop eating >.<
I spent too much money already. God, I need some directions.. 

But for now, UKCAT is my top priority. If and only if my UKCAT score was more than 700, I would apply to Edinburgh. I could even consider Cambridge but.. Not that dumb.. wahhahahah 
UKCAT score with more than 700 suggests that the student's *IQ is more than average. Max is 900 points.
* Not sure whether it's IQ or something else but the questions are very much like IQ questions.

Biology stage test tomorrow morning and I'm sitting here bitching about my life. 

Bio class with the other teacher was very very boring. I could have slept if I continued listening to class, therefore, I didn't listen to class and instead, read the notes she gave during class while looking at how the teacher's lips moved once in a while. I know I'm bad but that's just who I am.

Broke a pipette in Chemistry class this morning. It was really out of nowhere and ** PLIANG** a pipette lost its life.. I was too sleepy. I seriously couldn't wake up this morning. There was no morning sunshine today and it's FREAKING FREEZING COLD! Perfect weather to sleep. Forced myself to run to the toilet and had a long warm comfy shower. 

I need to go get myself a new coat or jacket. But I have financial issues. I overspent this month. 

If I were a rich man.. na na na na na na na na etc etc...

oh well

it's all about the money

Yesterday's London trip was rather well spent. It's all about the money spent. Don't wanna get into financial trouble!

Spent £30 in Burberry sales. Bought 2 Burberry Polos. Couldn't wear one tho. Damn the sample sale with wrong labels and existence of XXXL sized shirt. My first pink shirt and I couldn't wear them. What a waste!

Spent £19 in Primark. Bought 4 plain coloured shirts, one khaki long pants, and 5 black socks with multi-coloured blocks on it. Preeety socks. Primark seems to be a must buy socks place. xD

Spent £8 for dinner. Lousy Dinner.

Spent £12 for train ticket from cambridge to London, return including underground. 

Total money spent, £69. Not bad, not bad at all. With the usual Eepin,Renze and Pagan.

We took quite a lot of pictures actually. However, due to my carelessness, ALL PICTURES GOT DELETED! YAY!!

At the very last minute, manage to just took a few more pictures for memories.. =(


ahhh, painful memories. =( No more picture postings. 

The award for most money spent goes to the one and only PRINCeSS EEPIN!
That woman bought herself a chritian dior RING which cost more than what I've spent. 
That Lady Bug ring cost £95 .. Big time Money Maker. 


That picture, I did not take. My photography skills are waaaay better than that.. =D
Yea, that junk cost £95. Hard to Believe? Believe it. 

Went to buckingham palace too. AT NIGHT! It's pitch black with nothing to see at all! Waste of time. =( 
Didn't get to go London Bridge too, something wrong with the underground. Some repairing going on. 

That pretty much sums up the whole trip. 
Got to admit, not the best London trip yet. Still gonna expect some MORE london trips.. Oh the joy..

How did today end?

I have to admit, it's kinda fun writing personal statements in front of chinese students (student from China). They would  compliment you so badly. Made me feel really good. Being able to type lots of English words which makes sense, they would assume your IELTS score is like what? 8.5? hahahahhah, oh the JOY of being smart xD

Today was a long boring day. Went to school hoping that school would end quick.

School was suppose to end around 12:50pm. However, order by princess Eepin to have lunch at Cambridge Coffee Company with Chuah Pagan. Had salad. Tasted like grass, seriously! Absolutely disgusting.
Went to Station Road after that to print out BURBERRY SAMPLE SALE invitation letter. Then, helped princess out with her ultra Long and Scientific personal statement. Finally, able to go home around 4:15pm. That useless bitch. 

Went to the Malaysian's room today. C19 was occupied by the Indian Dude. Didn't went in there. He's kinda scary. C21 was occupied by the Chinese Dude. He's Banana. His room isn't the room of anyone's dream.  Cute Malay boy's room, C22. Not bad at all. Clean and Tidy.. But Nab's room was still the best. 

I have this feeling that my blogs are getting more and more boring-er every time. 

Oh well, what the hell.. 

Planned to go to Paris, but not sure whether is it gonna happen a not. 50:50 chance. Fingers Crossed.

Tomorrow's the big day.

Peter's going to London again and again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN... Burberry sample sale! ;)

it's all numbers today.

Since Alex didn't come today, the only class I have today would be Math class. 
Wait, that's not it.. the only classes I have today are Math classes.

Why?

Because I have my first Math class from 10:20am to 11:30am. 
Then I'm free until 3:40pm where I have my second math class all the way until 5:30pm. 
Crazy Andrew.. 2 Math lesson in one day? Seriously? 
I love math but today's math class was SO SLEEPY. zzzZZZZ

This reminds me, I hate eepin for her superb empty thursday timetable. It's practically a public holiday for her since she only has chemistry class today and Alex isn't here. 

I hate my timetable.. I have to wake up early EVERYDAY!

Oh yea, I saw a squirrel today! hahahahahahah, that squirrel made my day! =D
Cute isn't it? That's not a Rabbit, It's a Squirrel. 

Saw tons of weird animals and insects nowadays. Rabbit, Squirrels, lots of cranefly a.k.a Daddy Long Legs, Spiders.. Are they preparing for hibernation? 

Oh yea, Parker's Piece going to have the carnival thing again. 
Why does this carnival always take place when we are leaving for LONDON TRIPS! The same thing happened the last time there was the carnival! 
I saw merry-go-round! Ohh, good old days at Genting. 


Screw homework. 
If homework were banished, the world would be a better place for students! -HoongLeong- 
=)

They're BACK!

Finally finished downloading season 1, 2 and 3 of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. The best show ever in LIFE!

God, how I wish I had friends of 6 in the future where we all lived in apartments in a very busy city, cracking jokes and giving sarcastic comments to one another without offending anyone at all! How cool would that be!! 

Me Favorite characters are...... All of them actually, can't really choose between them!

But the funniest one I had to say would be PHOEBE BUFFAY. 
Season 1, Episode 1, the weirdest and funniest thing I find is when:
Chandler asked Phoebe whether would she want to go back to Ross's new apartment and help him out with his furniture. Then phoebe answered : "Oh sorry I can't 'cause I don't want to."  LAUGH!!


From left, 
Ross > Phoebe > Rachel > Joey > Monica > Chandler. (names in the movie)

LASSST STRETCH says the king


While re-telling my personal statement in a story-like manner, I think Stuart got frustrated that he just turned around from his table ( on his comfy chair that spins) and place his feet onto some other teacher's desk. Maybe he was enjoying it or something, but I couldn't care less. He was telling the "story" damn fast. 

Half way telling my own story, he just stopped and stared at me. I looked back. And he said the most .. speechless thing in the world. " I'm bored now, so I shall stop here. I want you to go home and continue writing your personal statement and show it to me in our next appointment." 

Okay, after several attempts and corrections made, my personal statement is finally ready to be sent. He wanted everything to be his way, I had no objection, so he opened the UCAS webpage, had me log-in my account and did the grandpa-est thing in the world. 

" Now, I'm going to highlight the whole Personal Statement from this Document and paste it into the blank page in the UCAS." - Saying this while SLOWLY highlighting the whole personal statement from Words and pasting it to the UCAS page. 

" Let's click the save button and see what would happen." <>." Oh, you are one line out, let's try cutting out one line and see whether would it fit. So now, I will highlight everything in this UCAS page and delete it. Then I will press save so that when UCAS website saves it, everything will be saved as blank."
Imagine an old man of around 200 years old saying this. It'll make everything more.. INTERESTING. 

And so, after cutting one life out from the WORDS.. 
"I'm going to highlight the whole Personal Statement from this Document again and paste it into the blank page in the UCAS webpage."  After the whole document was pasted. " then, click the save button once more and see whether is it still out of line." <3>. "Ahh, it's still one line off."

Before he could say anything else, I went: " Why not we just cut off the line straight away from the UCAS page. It would be much more convenient than ........." Quickly he replied "okay." 

Several-line-being-cut-out later, we finally got everything fitted into the UCAS page perfectly. And there goes grandpa telling stories again. 

" Now I will save your personal statement into my computer." " What is your name? " " H.O.O.N.G   L.E.O.N.G  L.I.M, yea, that's it." " Okay, I will look for my student's file... There, and save it here. Now, I will save it into your .. thing (it was my pen drive..=.=)"

"Where is it?" 
He was slowly going through his computer, trying to search for my pen drive. I got so bored, I just pointed the computer icon on his screen and told him to open that and save in in "Kingston". 

"Okay, everything in your UCAS is fine now. I don't mind if you change anything. But I would prefer you don't."

" Tell Guilly that your UCAS application is in the last stretch now. I will see you next Monday hopefully for your last appointment, then we will send your application off in the afternoon." 

" Thanks, see you next Monday then. Bye." 


Actually, there's still more grandpa stories but I didn't wanna bore myself in the future. Painful memories like this aren't suppose to be kept but for some odd reasons, I find this really funny.

Oh yea, Stuart also mentioned something about " This is my screen, not your screen...." kinda crap. 

Dear Stuart,
KINDA OBVIOUS THAT'S YOUR SCREEN AND NOT MY SCREEN!!!

Come to think of it, while writing this post, I laughed a zillion times already >.<

Okay, I know I'm a bit sakai but I just can't help it. Simply just tooooo happy my personal statement and UCAS application is OUT OF MY WAY!

sweat

Weekdays finally over, the pain then begins.

Tons upon tons of homework to complete, 
never-ending revision to do and worst of all, 
the unlimited corrections on Personal Statement. God, I hate  UCAS.

Today was the first ever time I sweated (*is there such word? Sounds wrong) after returning to cambridge. =) 
It's really hard to sweat here, so I shall celebrate with something HEALTHY!! xD

My idea of a healthy drink! Hey, no sugar was involved okay? It's a healthy drink for a celebration! xD


Very lazy right now, literally lost the will to live. 

Whoever kills me know, I shall be eternally grateful to him/her. 

I smell bad, I'm so lazy to get a shower. 

Staring blanking into space.

Sitting at a place where time stands still. 

The End.

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

BackFromHolidays..

First Day back to school and what did the teachers give me? 
.. My Timetable!

 A little bit of empty but not really happy with it. Why? Because I have to wake up early everyday! =( School starts at 9 in the morning, so had to wake up 8 a.m. 

On the bright side, timetable's kinda empty. Monday and Friday get to finish school super early. Most of the days, I get to have super long lunches (2 hours maybe? xD) 

Timetable's only for this week, so.. Nothing much to expect..


Well well, what's new then? 

Vietnamese overpopulating the whole college! 
New chemistry teacher who isn't British. Singaporean in fact, hence, feels like studying in Msia.
Damn Damn Personal Statement.
A sudden increase in craving for FOOD!
Nanny changed our bed sheet. That's definitely new coz we used to change the bed sheet ourselves.
Raining a lot nowadays. 

Yea, pretty much the "unusual" events/ things today. 

Picture taken a few days ago at parker's piece. Beautiful Place eh? 

Find this picture very very.. poster like. Kinda fake. 
But still like it a lot! Inspirational.. =)
From left, Pagan, Eepin and I ..trying to jump? xD

The End.

Today becomes tomorrow.

Oh, how time flies. 
Been in UK for almost one week and it feels like FOREVER..


School officially starts tomorrow. What am I doing today then?

I got sooo bored that I've decided to clean up my room! Spring cleaning! or should I say, Autumn cleaning. Right, a little tacky but I just had to say it! xD

My room "transformed" from this:


to this: 

That's snakey btw. My only best buddy/pet in UK. =)

Intend to watch all the movies I've downloaded these past few days. For now, 2 more movies to go! =P but a million more to download. 

Ate, ate, ate and more eating to come. 

Suppose to be studying the notes that should be studied 2 months ago, but I don't care. =D 

Okay, tomorrow should be a great day coz school starts tomorrow! Really looking forward to a short and simple time table! 

God Bless =D


Sunday, September 7, 2008

Boooored

These few days are getting more and more boring. Nothing much to do, nothing much needs to be done. Spent too much money as well, super-over-budget. Have to prepare for the damn UKCAT. Have to study Biology Unit 3 which should have been done 2 months ago. Suppose that's about it. 

Pretty much have to scratch out the "nothing much needs to be done part". 

Again,

LIFE SUCKS.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Damn

Damn needing to be smart to get into med school.
Damn not getting good grades in AS exam. 
Damn academic background. 
Damn family background. 
Damn university entry requirements. 
Damn UKCAT.
Damn BMAT.
Damn higher education.

Dammit.

what can I say? That's life isn't it?!

GoodBoyGoes2Heaven, BadBoyGoes2 LONDON!!

All the London trips I've been, Yesterday was the best one EVER!

Welcomed the new students to Abbey College in the morning. Lots and lots of Chinese (China students) and Vietnamese. A few Malaysians .. to be sad? or not to be sad? that is the Question! 

Noon - London Trip!! =D 
12 Pounds for the train ticket. Equivalent to plane ticket to Penang from KL!! ExpensiveConsidered cheap already coz it's group ticket. Normal ticket would cost you around 24 pounds! Anyway, you'll get used to it if you're here long term. Train departed around 12:45-ish noon and reached 1:30-ish. Princess Eepin, Renze, Pagan and I are on this trip btw. 

First stop - Oxford Circus. Those who don't know, oxford circus = oxford street, one of the busiest, largest, grandest shopping street in the WORLD! Been into a few zillion shop lots. E.g. :- topman, FCUK, espirit, footlocker, nike etc etc.. 

Pajamas for only 50 pence!! where in the world could you get that other than in PRIMARK!!
Sadly, all the pajamas were GONE!! got this boxer.. real cool and funny! =)

cute boxer eh? =) it's just one pound! approx.. RM6.20, worth every penny of it. 

After I got this boxer and some other pajamas, I went a little MAD. =)
The next thing I bought could kill my mom but what the heck, she said if I don't have enough clothes, I could get some =)


2 Armani Exchange T-Shirts! =) A little over budget but LOVE them!!
* Purposely had the 2 shirts put in separated bags coz those bags are really classy. xD

After that, went to china town to have aromatic crispy duck. =) Pagan didn't eat with us. Apparently, she's not hungry, so she went to walk around outside China town and GUESS WHO SHE SAW..! Here's some tips :

1) He's the director for the film, rockNrolla.. Still don't know?
2) He's married to famous american SINGER. No idea?
3) He's married to MADONNA!!!!! if you still don't know, YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!
For those who still don't know, go online and google it.. xD

Pagan saw GUY RITCHIE! Going down the red carpet somewhere outside Chinatown. Damn those huge aromatic peking duck. If that damn duck was smaller, Renze, Eepin and I could have finished them earlier and saw GUY RITCHIE AS WELL!! =( 
oh yea, forgot to mention, MADONNA was there too. xD

okay, after that, around 9-ish night, we went to the tower of London. =)
Nothing can be more relaxing than the night breeze of London River. Saw many many LONDON BRIDGES! Reminds me of the good days back in WMS.. 
Miss Form 5'07 a lot.. ='(
Thought not really a close up view of tower of London, but still, the night lights around tower of London was AWESOME! London bridges as well. Sorry, no pics. =( maybe next time.

stayed there for almost an hour, took lots of pictures (not worth posting xD) with eepin's phone. Her phone went dead after that. No battery =S. Reached King's Cross around 9:30 and took the next available train home. Reached back around 10:30 night! 


Nothing like a goodnight sleep after that. =)



The end.
