a day trip to midvalley..

class party was yesterday but i couldn't make it so i didn't get to enjoy the food and all..anyway, i had a great time shopping at midvalley..

-my mom bought a red collar for saffy (just in case you 've got no idea who saffy is, she's my puppy)

-a cat from pet's wonderland scratched my dad's finger till it bled

-went hunting for shoes at various shop lots and found two lovely pairs (not for myself though..i think i'll search for mine at the night market;)..)

-ate laksa (my favourite)..we managed to find a place to sit as it's the fasting month..

-strolling and strolling.....and.......strolling....

-mom bought me a hairclip from evita (green colour of course)

we were there for i think about 5 to 6 hours..then we went to the airport and had dinner at kfc...the variety bucket...yummy..(at least i still got to eat kfc in kl when all my friends are enjoying kfc in ipoh)

what? am i dreaming?

yay!! time to rejoice as trial is over..i got back three subjects so far and thank God that the results weren't too bad..i don't know about science subjects though..not too high hopes to score any A's for those..anyway, teacher added one mark for my english paper which came as a surprise as she will never give extra marks for borderline cases like mine..

"how much did you get for mid-year?"

"i think it's 81.."

"i am going to give you another mark because you deserved it....."

(what?? did i hear wrongly?)

well, it's for a real! haha..now i got a better result for english!

i just hope more miracles will happen after this..

relieved but curious..

finally physics is over and it's time to bury myself in chemistry..can't wait to get it over and done with..now that trial is almost over which is much to my relief but another feeling is sinking in..the i-don't-want-to-get-back-results feeling is here once again but at the same time i am curious..i want to know the results but i don't want to get it..that's weird and i know it..

i just hate it when i have to go to school on a saturday..

cold brain cells..

i don't know what i am doing here since i am supposed to go to bed now..i've had the best weather yesterday..such a cool day to sleep in..however, the temperature increased this afternoon and the cool sort of feeling i felt yesterday or rather early this morning vanished..biology managed to get inside my brain better..now i know the trick..if you want to remember your facts and the weather is warm, just stick your head into the refrigerator for a moment or two..cold brain cells absorb better..this is proven this morning when i was getting through biology..try it and tell me whether it works because the temperature was fine this morning and i didn't get the chance to try the refrigerator..

soon, i have to say goodbye..

it's now a few minutes past 12 of 3 september..i couldn't believe that i'll be sitting for spm trial exam in two days' time..time is just moving unbelieveably and mysteriously fast..too fast the speed which i dislike..it's just funny that i used to think that i want to be out of school as soon as possible when i first came to secondary, but when my life in high school is about to end, there are some things that make me dread the moment to step out permanently from school..

i'll miss life buying food from the canteen, the moments i shared with a bunch of crazy and fun-loving friends..and of course, the jokes cracked during the dull moments in our beloved history teacher's class (note: parts of the jokes were about her but she's just too obsessed in 'teaching'..well, she didn't really teach as i didn't understand a single thing she said..not bothered to listen though)..maybe i'll be missing the teachers (not her, mind you! if you know who i meant..you should know anyway)..signing off here as fiona's going to experience spm in dreamland..(~_~)

a trip to bukit merah..

i should have posted this earlier but i just couldn't find the time..now that i have the chance, i've put up some pictures taken on that day..it's a family day on the 16th july..

ducks!! quack! quack!

raining umbrella..

a fine day without haze..

this is so fun!

another spectacular view..

the view of waterpark from the chair lift..

my sister and i on the fake chair lift..

hazy and not cloudy..

no one has expected that the haze will be here again after the 1997 one..well, at least we don't have to wear masks in ipoh just yet..however, we can't be sure we don't have to wear later as the AP index is getting higher..yet the people still keep themselves outdoors just like usual despite being warned by the media..below are the evidence i snapped while strolling at the night market (i haven't been staying indoors too;P)..

the 'new' scenery at my neighbourhood..

people staying outdoors despite the hazy weather..

the crowd at 'pasar malam'..

dreaded..

it's exactly a month before i have to enter the hall with the tensed atmosphere and get myself seated on the not so comfortable plastic chair and start writing...! writing about stuff i've learnt in school and at the same time squeezing all the juices out of my brain until it's really dry..that's when i'll give up writing and leave the answer sheet blank and attempt to doze off into dreamland where i had wonderful dreams about scoring a string of A's for spm......

but hey! i've got to wake up! dreams may be beautiful but i mustn't get carried away..i must be practical..the cert won't drop down from the sky just like that..i will have to earn it with my malfunctioning brain..seriously it's not working very well these days as i tend to forget things rather easily..it doesn't matter whether it happens ten seconds, ten minutes or even ten hours ago..i often forget..the other day i left my books on a table and the next moment i was looking really hard for it because i just couldn't remember..then another friend pointed out to me the place where i'd left them..what can i say? alzheimer is already striking me at such a young age..

my eyes are hurting..too much of staring at the screen..books aren't helping..my eyes won't get hurt but they get heavy and sooner or later..........you know what happens when you are reading a history textbook? i need not say it..you already knew the answer..

getting worried..

it's july now..the day is getting nearer..there's only 2 months left for me to prepare for trial exam..today there was a career talk in school and i found it really informative..however, the variety of jobs introduced by the speaker did not interest me..i have my own dream and i will pursue nothing else but it..only that career will make me feel comfortable (i hope)..i am not too sure whether i'll be happy but i know i will try my best in order to achieve this ambition..

now for the time being, i can feel the pressure to study increasing..just like in a pressure cooker..imagine that my life is being cooked..frankly speaking, i am going through a hard time..i am feeling worried but i can't help imagining the future and the picture of failing to get the results i always wanted..

today is open day in school..it was indeed a relief that teacher didn't comment much about me..so the meeting took less than five minutes..anyway, i was just glad that it was over really quick..
