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.

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

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.

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.
