Ok, I'm actually updating this blog when my friends are still in school studying. Hahahaha! Ok, let's start this post with my trip to Perth :)

21 June 2009

Woke up in the early morning. Packed my bags. Was rushing here and there because it's a last-minute plan to go to Perth actually. Hahaha. Reached airport T3, checked in, blah blah blah, took aeroplane, it was the Airbus A330, so its quite a long aeroplane. Plane took off. I started to watch the movies there. I chose to watch Bedtime Stories & The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but I spent the last 1 hour or so watching the movie without hearing anything because the sound system at my seat somehow malfunctioned T.T

Landed in Perth at 2.30pm. Took the taxi and off we went to my siblings' house in Dianella. This was supposed to be a suprise visit, so that's why nobody came to airport to picked us up. So yeah, reached the house, just waiting to suprise them. But, it seemed that no one is in the house. And then...my bro opened the door and he was laughing at us. They already knew that we were going to Perth as he tried to call all of us and there were no answer and that he called my grandmother and she actually told them that we were supposed to be in Perth. So yeah, mission failed. Lol!

We spent the day just having a nice conversation and took our time relaxing and eating abit. Then, we went to this Thai restaurant near Curtin Uni to celebrate my bro-in-law's birthday. Ate and ate. After that, we went to take a look at my eldest sis's new house which is quite spacious. Then, we drove around (I forgot where) and went back home. Spent the night watching tv (Master Chef) and then, my bro and I played XBox360 until 1am plus. Hehehe. Slept.

22 June 2009

Ok for this day, I totally forgot what we did during the day. Serious. Lol. But at night, my 3rd sis, my bro and I went to Charcoal Chicken to buy take-away food and we ate it for dinner and then, we watched Master Chef and played XBox360 again. Hahaha.

23 June 2009

Hmm, for this day, I only remember that we went to HoneyWell to buy some fresh, tender meat and ordered some of it to bring back home in Singapore. My eldest sis on the other hand went to Chooks (something like KFC) which was just nearby to buy some take-away food. Went back home and ate it. Watched Master Chef and played XBox360 again. It's like a cycle. Lol!

24 June 2009

This day is shopping day!!! Hahaha. Went to this shopping centre at Mirrabooka and went to BigW and K-Mart. I bought a lot of things which cost me $75 plus. Lol! Went to drove around my sis's Murdoch Uni and Murdoch College which was supposed to be where I'm schooling since Sec3 but I rejected. Hahaha. Went to Curtin Uni after that and took some pics. Then, we went to this Indonesian restaurant where we ate light food and bought take-away food. I drank damn lot of teh tarik, I even drank my dad's and sis's drinks. Lol. I don't even know why I got so thirsty at that point of time. Hahaha. Went home and ate dinner. Watched Master Chef. Then, my sis, my bro and I went to this empty carpark for me to get gain some driving skills! Hahaha yeah! I learnt how to drive although I drive damn slow. Beginner mah. C'mon man! Lol! Yeah, I managed to do as what my sis told me to do. Then, I went back to the passenger seat and my bro drove us back home. Played XBox360 and slept.

25 June 2009

Woke up earlier than usual. We went to Swan Valley. First up was this place where the owner sells all kinds of honey. We can even see bees up-close as they're 'trapped' in between 2 sheets of glass. There are even cows, which my dad and 3rd sis fed it with hay.

Then, we went to this fruit shop where they sell all kinds of fruit jam, juices, etc. Bought some jams and juices. Then, we went to take a look at their grapes which they planted. It was cool.

After that, we went to this ice-cream shop. There's a wide variety of flavours to choose from, such as Bubblegum, Raspberry, Cookie and even got Raffy leh. Lol!! I bought the mixed single with Cookie & Chocolate. Hehehe. We ate our ice-creams for quite a long time actually because they are generous in scooping the max amount of ice-cream in each scoop, get it? Hahaha. Yum Yum!

Then, we went back home. Relaxed for awhile before we went to the city. Went to buy some chocolates and souvenirs to bring home and bought kebab. Yay! Hahaha. But I ended up eating my mum's cooking which was Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng. Was so full after that. Packed our bags, say goodbye to my eldest sis and her husband as they can't send us back home. So, my 3rd sis and her friend, Adeline, drove us to the airport and off we went back home. This time, my bro followed us home and will stay here in Singapore for 2 weeks before going back to Perth as his Uni will start in a matter of weeks for him. So yes, I ended up spending the 5 hours in the aeroplane watching Slumdog Millionaire and He's Just Not That Into You and listened to songs by Lily Allen before landing at Singapore. Took a taxi home and slept until 12pm the next day.

26 June 2009

After Friday prayers, I ate lunch and got changed as I'll be meeting my friends in Lot1 for a movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I had been looking forward to that movie as I liked the 1st one. So yeah. Went to Petir station, met up with YingHao and ChinGuan and we took taxi to Lot1. Went to Level 5 and we met Abel and Melody there who were queuing up to buy the tickets. Passed Abel the money and some of us went to the arcade to play some games. Hahaha. Shen Shen joined us and then Mark and then we met some more people. Bought food and drinks and went inside the cinema.

2 hours and 30 minutes later, the movie ended with all of us feeling very satisfied with the movie. I dashed off to the toilet to pee. Hahaha. But seriously, the movie was very interesting and cool! It's full of action from start to finish. Moreover, it's a comedy too, full of laughter mixed together with adventure. And never trust the rater who rated it 1/2 star. That's pathetic. Watch it yourself and you'll be smiling after it ends. For me, this movie deserves at least an 9/10 rating. Go watch it (:

PS: Pics from Perth will be updated some other time. Cheers (:

Ok I'm safely back in Singapore. Hehehe. Today is a very tiring day for me because I didn't sleep at the previous night as I was busy watching movies in the aeroplane, then, I went to join my classmates who planned to watch Transformers at 4pm. Haha yeah. It's a very good movie and it's totally action-packed. Yeah! Hahaha. Ok I've been spending the day and night sleeping and I'm still tired. So I'm gonna sleep again and I'll update more about my trip to Perth plus the movie outing some other day eh! Tired ah....hehehe...Zzzzzzzzzz.............

I AM NOW IN PERTH, AUSTRALIA!!!

Yesssss, I have safely arrived here after a shaky flight which meant that turbulence occurred frequently due to bad weather but I'm used to it so no worries eh. Hmm, all my family members are already asleep at this time as it is winter here, so the days are very short & the nights are very long. Hmm, ok lah. I'll update more some other time! Goodbye! (:

Wow! Its been nearly 10 days since I last updated...and I have updated it today! Do you hear that, WeiLin & Monica?!?! Lol. Ok ok. Hmmmm, let me see what I have done for the past 9 days.

9 June 2009

Slacked the whole day. Boring.

10 June 2009

Ohh ohh! This day was totally fun!!! Wahaha! Went to chem lab in sch. Did experiments on speed of reaction. Then, went next door (the other lab), and did datalogger experiments. We did this "super-endothermic" experiment in a plastic bag and the temperature went down to around 4deg celsius!!! I even put the plastic bag at my cheeks. Cooling sensation mah. Lol. Then, we had 1-hr break. Mdm Leow bought for us PIZZAS! There were a lot of pizza boxes from pizza hut on the table in the concourse. She even ordered chicken drumsticks. Indeed there are a lot of food available. But, I only get to eat 3 slices of pizza only. I didn't even touch any of the chicken drumsticks T.T Hahaha. Then, break over and we continued on our quest to find out the unknown salts. Then, we did something else, and then, the last part was the most interesting and fun. FLAME TESTS!!! Woohoo! Whoa, the flame was full of colours sia. Green, purple, white, red, orange, etc. Then, we had some quite reactive metal powder for flame test. It was cool. One of them was like fireworks while another was very reactive that it gave off a very bright light. I forgot which metal powder was used for that. Potassium? Calcium? Magnesium? I forgot. But what I know is that we spent most of the time doing that experiment. So yes, the lab seemed to be 'flashing brightly every few seconds'. Lol!

11 June 2009

Slacked the whole day. Boring.

12 June 2009

Slacked in the morning when I was in my parent's workplace. At 4pm - 8pm, I had A.Maths tuition. And yes, I've finished the homework for A.Maths which is Worksheet 17. Yay!

13 June 2009

Another shiok day. This is because...I participated in an annual Night Cycling event! Wooooo! Had refreshments at Al-Mukminin mosque in JE. Debrief. Checked our bikes and off we went. Our final destination is East Coast Park. So yes, its kinda far for a cyclist to travel. From Jurong East to East Coast Park leh! Hahaha. Started cycling at 12am sharp. Had 3 pit-stops in between, which was at Clementi there, then, Tiong Bahru Park, and lastly, at Kallang there, near the place where we had kayaking. Reached ECP at around 6am. 6 hours of cycling oi!! Went home with my ass in pain as well as my hamstring xD.

14 June 2009

Slept from 8am to 3.30pm. Hehehe. Tired ok! Then, we went to chalet at Changi there because we had this annual family outing. Met some of my cousins there as well as my aunts & uncles and my grandmother. Talked, ate and blah blah. At 9.30pm, we went to Changi Airport to send my cousin off. She was going to KunMing. Oh ya, I met Mr. Matin too. He was my cousin's schoolmate and he's going along with her too. Btw, their flight was supposed to be at 2am but due to the recent storm I guess, their flight was delayed for 4 hours and they ended up sleeping in the airport. Lol.

15 June 2009 - Today

Nothing much. Just went to parent's workplace, played games, then went to chalet and home-d.

AND OH YES, I FORGOT SOMETHING...MONICA!!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! I REALLY DO!!! DO YOU MISS ME? Hahaha!

DnD Camp is OVER!!!

Wooooooooooo!!! After 5 days of boredom & stress, we can finally rest our pitiful brains. This is such a relief for me because I've been studying since the start of MYE which was on late April until today, 8 June. Wahahaha xD. Now at least I'm not touching any of my books for awhile. Hehehe.

Anyway, DnD Camp '09 ended with a bang! Cheyyy...no lah. I anyhow say one. Hahaha. Well, the last day of DnD Camp started with me reaching school at 8am plus. This is my latest timing ok! Wahaha. Had 1hr3o mins of Geog.

Then, we got break which took less than 10mins because Mr Venkat a.k.a Mr Punctual always comes early and will teach the class even though majority isn't in the class. Lol! So yesssss, its another 3hrs of Maths Maths Maths! Boringgggg.....but out of the remaining 7 subjects we had for DnD Camp, so far, I can only absorb what I learnt for A.Maths, which we learnt differentiation the whole week. Hahaha. Btw, I keep on feasting on my chips and biscuits and sweets during this 3hrs of Maths. Picnic oi! Lol! (:

Then, lunch. Finished it early, then we went up to class and slacked. Melvin, MengTuck & me were spraying water at John and YingHao at the toilet there. While running out of the toilet, my ass accidentally hit the damn door because MengTuck was there blocking me without him even knowing that he was blocking me -.- Then now my ass pain sia. Lol. Haizzzz....then, back in class, YingHao sprayed me water and I sprayed back and it somehow hit Vanessa. Lol sry ah! (: Hahaha. After that, Leonard's fan suddenly went siao after Abel accidentally kicked it. This happened two times and we went 'Ohhhhhhhh......" Lol.

After lunch was English. Joe kept on making MengTuck, Daniel and me laugh like idiots because of his super lame jokes. Lol. He even made a 'voodoo doll' of Ms Khoo and poked at certain areas on her body with pins. Lol. Then, out of the blue, Ms Khoo was like telling me to pay attention and that I will not improve if I keep on becoming like this. And I was like 'wth?'. I was just looking back for awhile, laughed at Joe's joke, then focused back on the compre which we were doing, and there she goes scolding me -.- Lol.

Ok then, it was Chem. Did practical on speed of reaction. It was fun & cool.

Games after that. Played against Emerald. Although I substituted Alan to play for just around 5mins left, my first few touches lead to a score. Yes. I scored an easy goal against my former class. Hehehe. Match ended with Opal winning 3-1. I was happy because I managed to score at least a goal in every single match. Wahaha! But my goals scored isn't high actually. Just 4 goals in 4 games. Should have done better. Hmm, anyway, my best goal would be the one against Jade which was slightly deflected off Zul and my best match would be the one against 5NA. The atmosphere during that match was so damn cool ah! Anyway, 3rd placing for soccer went to Opal (:

After the match, we went to watch floorball between Opal and Jade. I think that this is the second time they met in this competition, right? Hehe. Sooo, Jade was leading 1-0 at half-time. But, Opal came back with a 2-1 win against the Jades. We cheered like as if it was a World Cup Final match. Lol. So, 3rd placing for floorball went to Opal (:

Then, we went to the basketball court to watch the match between Opal and 5NA, which ended seconds after we entered the court to cheer them on. Hahahahaha! We lost the match. So, we got 2nd place for BB (:

Soon, it was already 6pm plus. Thought that there was going to have a prize-presentation ceremony but don't have. So, I went home...with my ass still in pain, until now! xD

4 days of DnD Camp are over! Just one day of DnD Camp and 2 more days of extra tutorial (maths and chemistry) left. Woo!

Anyway, life in DnD Camp has been exhausting for me and for my friends. For almost 10 hours in school each day, we only had 2 hours of break and fun. And we seriously took the advantage of that 2 hours of break, especially the 15min break we had at 9.30am everyday. I will secretly buy food and drinks from the shop nearby from inside the school and we will 'smuggle' the food items into our classroom. Its like the movie 'Mission Impossible' ah. Hahaha! But luckily, we can eat during Mr Venkat's lessons because he doesn't care about us eating or even leaving the classroom. Lol!

Hmmm, so yeah. Other than those breaks, we had our games too. We lost to 4sapphire 6-2, then won 1-0 against 4jade, and then we lost to 5na by 2-1. I scored one goal in every match. It was fun and cool, especially the atmosphere I experience during the 4opal-5na soccer match when I scored the goal. The atmosphere was awesome. But then, we lost to them at the very last minute of the match. Haiz. But nvm. Now, we have to win against 4emerald to claim 3rd position. I wonder how it feels like to score against my former class (:

And btw, when we play against 5na yesterday, I had to 'fight' with the dustbin for the ball, so what did I do? I kicked the dustbin away when the ball got stuck on the dustbin there. It was so troublesome ah because I keep on hitting the dustbin sia. Then, I was like rubbing my shin because it was painful when I hit the dustbin before kicking it away. Those who saw me doing that were laughing and so am I. Lol!

And oh yes, I'm feeling sick now. Flu & fever! Wahaha xD. Finally, I can put my studies aside and rest for awhile :)

2 'O' Level Papers Down!!!

Woooooooooo...MT Paper 1 was ok ok and Paper 2 was easy. I was so glad that I could answers all the questions for it. Aiming for A although there's still oral and listening comprehension this july.

And yes, DnD camp has officially started today. It started off with Mr Wong comparing our MYE results with last year's 'O' Level results. Then, EL, PP, lunch (the syrup drink was so damn concentrated and sweet ah), SS, SGHM, then Games. The whole day, it was sooo warm that most of the guys in my class, including me, actually folded up our long pants to knee-length, just like lower sec kids. So yes, 4opal now seemed to be 1/2opal. Hahaha! Btw, the games part, we got out own mascot, Melvin! Wahaha! He always bring/wear his cardboard 'masterpiece' around. Lol. Anyway, my class didn't play for soccer today because our opponents, 4NA, walkover-ed. So, it was an 'easy' win for us. Woo! Hahaha.

Haiz. I'm supposed to be 'researching' my biology on the internet now but I blogged instead. I can't stand studying all day/night long like what my mum instructed me to do everyday. She kept on telling me to study straight after DnD ended for the day. So its like about 18 hours of study and the remaining 6 hours sleeping. Zzzzz. No life T_T.

Oh ya, regarding my exam results, it sucked. L1R4 - 17, L1R5 - 25 and just 1 distinction??? Cmon lah. I can't go anywhere with this kind of results. This is my worst results ever sia. Like what Mr Wong commented, "underperformed", and yes, I am one of them. But just now, something just motivated me to believe that I can do much better and that my MYE results won't hinder me from doing better or bring my moral down, and that something is "Mr Ow's results for his MYE and prelim results when he was in sec4". He showed us his MYE results and I was utterly shocked/suprised/stunned/etc when I saw it. He passed only 3 subjects I think, and the most shocking part was that he got F9 for Physics...and he's now a Physics teacher. Lol! But then, he told us that he changed for the better and did consistent revision during the June holidays and then he showed us his prelim results. We went "WOAHHHH!!!". Hahahaha! He scored A for most of his subjects and got an L1R5 of 9 points! Anyway, he didn't let his parents sign that report slip and we laughed. He didn't showed us his 'O' level results too. I don't know why though. Hahaha!

Ok ok lah. I want to study quick then sleep early, which I always do these days because I always tend to get tired after school. Ok takecare people. Bye-bye! (:

Today was awful, except the MT tutorial in JE lib which was okay, followed by lunch at Mac in IMM with syafiq, zul, ashri and zaki. Then, went home by train and slept. Woke up and the 'awful' part which I mentioned earlier started.

Woke up at 7pm plus like that ah. Then, my mum was nagging at me for my 'sleeping attitude'. Then, suddenly she somehow linked it with my exam results. That means that she knew about my exam results already. My 2nd sis told her about it after she read my blog. So yeah, dinner sucked. Kena scolded like shit.

Then, my dad started to tell me that I can repeat sec4 if I continue to be like that. Whenever I heard the word 'repeat' or 'retain', I will broke into tears. Its really hurtful because all my effort put in my studies seemed to be invisible and that my family seemed to not believe or have the trust in me.

Then, they started to talk about ten-year series lah and even tuition. After that, I lost the appetite to eat dinner. All that I was thinking was 'repeating sec4'. Haiz.

Dad, if you want so much for me to retain, then that's what I'm doing now, with already 4 subjects failed and only 1 or 2 more subjects failed, and I'm on my way to repeating sec4. But, I thought that you people want me to do well, with so high expectations, such as me being a doctor, etc., but why give me this kind of negative attitude? Why are you people so pessimistic? Right now, I'm being optimistic and I always am. You should be lucky because if I were to be pessimistic, the real Asyraf will cease to exist.

And mum, why tuition? Don't you believe that I can do it by studying all by myself? I know that I can do it, just that I lack 'speed-writing' and a few more practices. So if I were to have tuition, what kind of life will I have? I'm gonna spend 18 hours studying and the remaining 6 hours sleeping and the whole cycle repeats itself. Such a boring life you know. If you care for me and you believe me, then just let me have my own way of studying and give me a bit of freedom. I'm just a human, not a machine. I can't study for so long and do nothing else.

If I have this kind of life, then, just forget about all those high expectations.

Forget about me being a doctor.

Forget about me getting 6As.

Or easier said, just forget about all my achievements and my ambitions.

Supposed to be studying now. But, the studying mood is gone. What's left for me tonight is just to ponder and wonder if I have done anything wrong that lead to my failure.

Today was much better although I failed another 2 papers which were my Geog and SS papers. Geog paper, I got 19/50. It was this bad because I didn't have time to explain so I just wrote down the points. SS paper, I got 21/50. Was suprised that my SS marks were higher than my Geog marks. Hahaha. I can pass if only I had done questions 1c and 1d which worth 14 marks. Haiz. So, I failed by 10 marks overall. But I hope my my holiday assignments and my tests which I did well can at least pull my marks up.

Got back both Bio paper too. I regretted because I didn't do 2 questions worth 20 marks. In the end, I only got a total of 65/100. Only a B3 sia. But nvm ah. From now on, I'm gonna treat my Bio textbook like a Holy Bible and I'm gonna get addicted reading it as if its my all-time favourite storybook. Lol.

Anyways, today, I spent the remaining afternoon playing soccer and having oral with Mdm Asrina. She said that I did okay, not bad ah, but can still be further improved (:

Then, soccer again. Scored too many goals that I lost count of it. Cheyyy...lol! Went home at around 6.30pm. Now, I intend to study Malay but a bit lazy. Noooo....I must not be lazy. Just less than 10 more days left. 10 MORE DAYS PEOPLE. So, don't slack ok! Just this once and its all over and you can leave MT aside and concentrate on your other subjects. So study now! Hahaha (:

Disappointment.

That's the only word to describe me now. Yeah. Got back 4 papers today and I failed 3 of them. And those papers were Chem paper 2, Eng paper 2 and Physics paper 2. Can't believe it that I failed Eng and Physics which were supposed to be one of my strengths. But overall for physics, I got B4 so its ok, but still disappointing. Chem paper 2, I didn't finish it. That's why it sucked. Then, Eng paper 2. I failed because I didn't write enough points for the summary, which I always used to, but I don't know why I didn't do that during the paper. Still, we haven't got back our Eng paper 1, which could pull my marks up if my marks for that paper was impressive.

So yes. I failed 3 subjects already and I haven't even got back the other papers yet. Oh man. This is so not the Asyraf I know because it has been a long time since I failed a subject in major exams. But I told myself to ignore all these marks and focus on 'O' levels. Wheeee. I'm not going to slack again. Will be spending most of my June holidays studying liao. I have to improve on a lot of things (:

And Weilin, how come you can get so high for bio sia? How? HOW? Lol.
