freedom!!!!!!!!!!!

freedom - The condition of being free of restraints. Totally.

Exams are over!!!!!!!!!! After 21 days of studying and stressing, I have finally finished my A-Levels!!!!!!!!! Muahahahahahaha! I know I sound retarded, but I am sooooo happy!!!!!!! Now I can go around mucking and doing nothing...somehow, I don't think I can laze around so much, though. Sad.

Anyways, to officially finish off my A-levels, I'm going to the A-levels ball in KL Hilton tomorrow! Yay! I got the dress and shoes ready already! (that sounds a bit weird!) Can't wait till tomorrow!!!!

Although I am happy that I finished my A-levels already, I'm really bummed that I can't join my cousin in Monash for the July intake! :( Why you may ask? The reason I can't join her is not because I don't want to, but because I can't! My forecast results are still not out yet...but that's not the main problem!!! The main problem is that I don't meet their English requirement! They want prove that I can speak English and understand English....not verbal proof, but "legitimate" proof....so I kinda need to sit for the TOEFL or IELTS test, and since I have not sat for either of these tests, they can register me in, but I can't join the Goddamn classes! So I asked IDP and British Council if I can get the exam done in July, but they say it's fully booked and the next IELTS exam date is in August! Greeeaaattttttt....so now, I need to sit for the test first before I can get into Monash in FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, I can't join the July intake, cos I'll be missing classes until the end of August! I'm gonna get barred if I join the July intake. So what's the point, right? Might as well wait for a bit...well, my dad doesn't seem to mind....

Oh yeah, I realised yesterday that one year ago on June 23rd, I got my driving license! :D It means that I've been driving for a year already...huh...that feels weird....so far, no summons yet (yay!) and God forbid that any summon should come my way!!!!

Talking about driving, yesterday I realised just how unpredictable KL roads could be. Around 6 o'clock yesterday, I went to pick my cousin up from IMKEDA (her driving school) after her driving lesson so that we could go and lepak for a bit before I sent her to Bisik near Ampang Park and sent my sister to tuition. So we were thinking of going to the mamak stall in Setiawangsa, but all of the mamak stalls there were a bit freaky because all the people there were the kind of guys that would just ogle at girls and make you feel queasy...and there we were, me, my cousin and my sister...3 single girls....going into a place like that? Not a very comforting thought. So I said we might as well go to Pelita near KLCC because I would have to send my cousin into that part of town anyway. So I was soooo prepared for a traffic jam. I mean, going straight into the middle of KL at 6.45 pm? Not such a bright idea. But I was (pleasantly) stunned when we drove into KL and there was NO traffic jam!!! I mean, there were cars la, obviously, but I would have thought it would be like damn packed! It was like driving through KL on a Sunday....quite nice...so my estimated 25-minutes drive turned out to be a 10-minute drive! So we lepak-ed in Pelita until about 7.30. After dropping my cousin off at Bisik, I was again prepared for a traffic jam heading towards my sister's tuition place. Yep, so much for that happening....we were at her tuition place by 7.45 and her class only starts at 8. So after stopping by 7-Eleven, I sent her to tuition at 8. And after that, I went back home. Now, her tuition place in Melawati is like a 5-minute drive from home. And Melawati isn't exactly in the middle of the city. So I was so shocked when I got stuck there, in a traffic jam, for 20 freaking minutes!!! It was damn annoying! The irony of the situation is a bit baffling, don't you think?

Ohhhh...dinner time. Gotta go :) Can't wait for the ball!!!!!

exam rants





Don't you think this car is just the cutest grooviest? it is just the cutest car that I saw during the KL Motorshow last weekend. But to tell you the truth, I would not want to be caught dead in that car....it's just a bit too weird...can you just imagine going around KL during rush hour in a car with flowers on its tyres? The horror. Nope, not me, not I. I would not do it.

Ohhhh....so last week I started with my exams...had 5 papers last week....6 more to go...remind me again why I took A-Levels....it's not like I'm going to the UK anyways....damn....it's damn stressing la studying for the exams. and last week, for the first time ever, I managed to finish all my Econs paper right on time! Yay me! Ok....that sounds very bimbotic and cacat, somehow.....actually i sound damn cacat...but almost everyone tak sempat habis tau their econs papers....so I'm not the only person who does not have the ability to finish my Econs papers on time!!!!

BUT last week was the "slightly better" papers...and this week, the real challenge begins.(that sounds very corny and soapopera-ish) I have 3 papers this week....Econs 4, Econs 5 and Math C4. Econs 4 and 5 would be on Wednesday, while C4 is on Thursday. Problem is, I am struggling to remember what i learnt in all of these modules. Dahlah I'm retaking Econs 4....damn menyusahkan....i was studying a bit just now....but i am so easily distracted and only 25% of what i read went into my brain. I feel like slapping myself senseless....i need to study la....i curse you, short attention span!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO SCARED....I need to do well....but what scares me right now is the fact that I do not want to study. I just feel like whatever I do, I'm going to mess up the papers...but then, this fear of not being able to answer anything will keep rearing it's ugly head until I study. And actually, when you study properly, you are just so much better prepared, right? You feel more confident answering the questions, which means that there will be less chances of making those silly mistakes that you know you would do when you start panicking. I want to be able to feel confident facing the papers, but I just can't seem to be able to study. I am so freaking stressed right now, I swear my hair will either fall off or turn white by the end of this month.

I better go back to studying....why did I even bother typing up such a short post? I'm sorry you wasted your precious time reading this post!!!! I promise I'll be more entertaining next time!!!! Ciao, peeps!

erm.....untitled?

I got a new phone!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!! And i got a new number that's really easy to remember! Thank God!!!!!!!! Yes, I am happy right now!!!!

Tish called me yesterday and we had a very interesting conversation....it went something like this:

Her: Hey, are you joining Monash in July?
Me: Erm, dunno yet la. Why?
Her: Because if you are, we can share an apartment in Sunway.
Me: Apartment???

So to cut things short, my dear cousin said that there was this apartment in Sunway Lagoon Perdana or something like that. it's a 3-bedroom apartment, and the rent is only RM690 per month. it's practically a bargain when i think about it. If my cousin and I can rope in another person to join us, the rent would be about Rm230 a month. The money I would be spending on petrol would be more than that actually, if I decide to stay at home. So I asked my dad about it:

Me: Papa, if I join Monash in July, can I stay with Tish in this apartment? the rent's only RM230 a month. I think if I stayed at home I would spend more money on petrol, so don't you think it will be better this way? Rightttttt????????????????
Him: That's true....but...
Me: But what?
Him: Are you sure you're up for it? And are you sure Tisha won't be bringing in friends that smoke? You have to think about that, you know.
Me: Hmmmmm.......

The problem here is not about the fact that my cousin smokes, but the fact that I am absolutely backboneless, I am sympathetic and the fact that I just feel like I have to be nice to everyone. So I will definitely let her get away with it. Don't believe me? Examine these examples...

My siblings
Them: Kak Ya, can you (insert favour here)?
Me: No
Them: Please
Me: Noooooooooooooooo.....lazy laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Them: Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Me: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Them: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeee
Me: Fine! Fine! Ok la, OK la. *mutters evilly*
Them: *grin widely*

My cousin
*she lights up a cigarette*
Me: One of these days you really should stop.
Tish: *inhales* I know.
Me: You know it's really bad for you.
Tish: Yes Alia. I know that. You say that everytime I light up.
Me: So why do you still do it?
Tish: *shrugs* Habit, I guess. Why? You wanna try?
Me: *look of horror* Fine. You wanna smoke, go smoke. Just don't get any smoke in my face.

See what I mean? I just have to be nice to everyone that it annoys even myself. Yeah, Tish might bring some of her friends around, but I doubt the room will smell like smoke 24/7...or at least I hope so. The thing is, if I go and stay with someone else, they might be worse than my cousin....so I think that staying with my cousin would be the lesser of two evils. haha. no la. she's not evil.

So anyways, I went to the KL International Motorshow at PWTC today. I took some pictures using my new phone's camera but I'm posting up the pics later because right now Blogger's not allowing me to post up pics....and I have some really cute pics of a very cute car! Grrrr....c ya guys later!!!!!!!!!!
