I’m hooked to it as if it was a drug Anyways, on 4th November, Jem launched rev.iew.me, and right now it has about 100 members. I repeat, 100 members.

I haven’t added my sites, but I’ve planned a massive site redo (meh, don’t I do that all the time?) Even for my other sites, I [...]

So much for security

filed under: Personal, Rants, School

Since last term (September 1st), security guards were posted at my school. These guards were hired by MoE to protect us, etc etc. Today after sitting for my first paper in the morning, A panicked after realizing that his laptop, mobile phone and hard disk was missing.
His run to the Discipline teacher triggered everyone’s attention. [...]

Dear exams,

filed under: Personal, Rants, School

I hate the practicals, especially biology today. If I could turn back time, I’d wish that I could tell the teachers to actually prepare the hot water in advance rather than to waste out 10 minutes.
Computer was hell. Those questions we predicted came out, but we didn’t take our predictions seriously. Damn.
Chemistry practicals was bad. [...]

Good News

I was overjoyed today, honest. I was awarded the Third Prize for the Reading Trivia which was part of the The Reading Initiative Program of my school’s English Department. Unfortunately, the award was crap. I received a dictionary, and it’s not like I don’t have 10 other dictionaries at home for English, 3 Chinese ones, [...]

I won…

filed under: Personal, Random, School

… the Australian National Chemistry Quiz. Quite shocking, really, considering that Chemistry has never been my best, nor has it been my favourite. Nonetheless, being the top 1% in Brunei (or was it worldwide) makes my father proud, especially since today is his birthday!
How does it feel? I am absolutely shocked beyond reason. I mean, [...]

I feel like…

filed under: Personal, Rants, School

… a sponge. Not absorbent at all though, but when you squeeze me, blood flows everywhere.
I’ve had had several sleepless nights due to my mens, and I seriously need sleep. I have bigger eyebags and it’s just horrible washing all the time. My parents kicked me out of their room because they don’t want to [...]

I’m going to work part time at my dad’s place after my exams. My dad’s giving me $45 a month for it too. Whoopee. And I only go there for about three afternoons a week. This is such an easy job LOL.
All I have to do is to help out with programs like Microsoft Office, [...]

Orals are over at last!

filed under: Personal, Random, School

So I ended my orals with English on Saturday. Here are things that I recall:
I finished reading the passage. I think I went too fast, but then the examiners decided to scare me. “Your reading was terrible.” I panicked a bit, but then they said, “Just kidding.” So much for worrying me. 
Examiner: So who do [...]
