First Week
So the first week of college has passed. It’s Friday night and I am back at my own home. Already on the third day we were given our first assignment for English. We were supposed to produce an advertisement for a product or service. We decided to do a service as we would not have to go through the trouble of looking for a unique product that is worth advertising.
Today we did the video shooting at Subang Parade. We spent half a day there and at the college. And today was supposed to be our off day. =/ Ah well…that’s college life for you I guess.
Anyway I shall not reveal what our presentation is about yet until we’ve finalised everything. Should take a day or two for the editing. Hopefully all goes well and as planned. *close eyes and crosses fingers*
That’s us at the Media Hub at Taylor’s PJ. It was around 3:45pm and we were all dead exhausted. Thought it would be great to end it with some group pics.
Presentation next Tuesday. I have to figure out what to wear. =/
—————————————–
Anyway, here’s a great, awesome song by Melee called Built To Last. This is gonna be our third song. Teddy and I heard it on the radio and I decided it should be our 3rd song.
"Built To Last"
I’ve looked for love in stranger places,
but never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I’ve been holding back,
and now there’s nothing I can’t do.
‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.
All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn’t we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where we are.
You’re in my heart now.
And there’s no escaping it for you.
‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.
Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right
‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.
‘Cause you are the sun in my universe,
considered the best when we’ve felt the worst
and most of all it’s built to last.
And so it begins!
College started today! Woke up at 7:45AM feeling pretty nervous. Spent most of my time on my hair coz today is one of the worst ever bad hair days I ever had. It would not lie flat and it was getting wavy. Ugh.
Anyway then, today was the first Orientation Day. At the beginning I was kinda alright but towards the end, my eyelids felt like it weighed a hundred pounds. Ugh.
So I finished at 4:00PM and trudged back to my apartment. Took a shower and a quick nap. Then, Teddy came to take me out to dinner at SS15. And now I’m at Teddy’s place stealing Internet for my laptop since my apartment doesn’t have yet until in about 2 weeks time. =/ Ah well. At least it feels good to leave independently. =D
Ah, the familiarity.
Mmm yet again this feels familiar. =) Not really gonna elaborate much on how I feel. Let’s just say it reminds me of those days before.
Here’s a really great song that fits my mood.
"Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you’d never ever forget these images, no
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

The first note of the song already sounds…so…painful. Emo. I could cry listening to it. It’s a really good song. Go listen to it. Helps on a bad or sad day. =)
Judgement Day
Ah, the day finally arrived. For the past 3 months I kept postponing worrying about it only until yesterday when I really start to think how many subjects that I can really say confidently that I will get an A for. English and Mathematics. That’s all. I was only sure of getting As for 2 friggin’ subjects.
So anyway today I woke up at around 9.40am. Took my time to get ready, made sure my hair was all nice and straight. Drove to school with my dad. Then had to wait a while for the results to arrive.
And finally at maybe 11-ish, the dreaded results arrived. We stood nervously at the edge of the queue unsure of whether to get it right away or just wait. However, my dad kept pestering me to get it already. So with shaky and clammy hands I wrote my name, address and number. I waited with baited breath while the teacher looked through the pile for my name. She put it face down and I took it without turning it up.
I told CM that I would wait for her to get her results before we see it together. So I handed it to my bro and dad first for them to ease the suspense. I asked my bro to give me hints of what I got.
"Definitely more than 5 As."
Okay, a sigh of relief. But I needed to know more.
"Got Bs or Cs or not?"
"A few Cs la"
"What???"
Then he hands it over to my friend Wai Kit, I asked him how was it.
"Wah, not bad ar! Straight As la!"
"What??? Really?"
It was too good to be true….and that turned out to be true. I turned it over and scanned through the results. I managed to secure a total of 8As and 2Bs. Not too bad I guess, since I only thought 2As. Lol. =P
The 2 subjects that ruined my near-perfect results were BM and Biology. =/ Was actually hoping for an A2 for BM. Sigh. Ah well.
But overall I am pretty glad with my results. Never thought I’d get 8As. I mean yeah I do dream of getting it, but not seriously. And yeah I got A1 for History. Lol! I was like "what the hell?"I was barely sure of half my answers.
And I guess all the tuition and extra work I did for Additional Mathematics did pay off. Got an A1 too =D.
Haha so today after my results my parents took me to Taylor’s PJ to enrol early to ensure that I would get the Taylor’s High Achievers Scholarship. I did manage to get it, so its 50% off tuition fees for foundation and 30% off tuition fees for the entire 3 year degree program.
So…pressure and tension all gone I guess for the time being until the next exam. Got results beyond expectations and well…parents are happy with it.
And Teddy of course. =D *squeeze*
Ah, can’t be bothered to think long enough for a title. It doesn’t really matter I guess, you the reader are already reading. So it’s better I conserve all the leftover brain juices to keep my body functioning because at the moment it feels as though it is gonna shut down at any time.
This is the worst ever combination of viral and hormonal attack on a girl. I have flu, running nose, sore throat, fever AND pre-mentrual syndrome more widely known as PMS. It always helps if you’re not so emotional when you’re sick. But as for my case, I’m feeling so goddamn emo.
And to further agitate me, my manicured nails have gotten tiny visible scratches on them. I had them nicely done at 1 Utama yesterday. Spent 45 bucks for a French manicure.
Mmmm anyway I spilled all my emotional contents in my other blog.
