School. Well, we just had exams. But now I feel like I'm on holiday. Exams were pretty okay, but I feel like I could have done better. No wait, I KNOW that I could have done better. I guess it's because I was so busy with the two Methods SACs that we had on the week that exams started. Exams started on Fridays, it was pretty hectic. But, the finger is still pointed at me, regardless. I got 92 for Chem, 93 for AGM paper 1 and 91 for AGM paper 2. I don't think it's that good, at least from my own perspective. No excuses. Oh well. I got 16/20 for the literature exam, which was a written response on the topic you chose. I chose the topic that was about how our contemporary society changes the reactions we have on A Doll's House. Or something like that. I guess that wasn't too bad.
Ok. So far, we've had two Methods SACs. The first one which was on Chapters 1-3, I did well. Thanks to Chris, the really pro smart VCE student (my lifesaver guy!) who is in Melbourne Uni now and tutoring students for $35 an hour (HEARTACHE!!!!!! Mahal lahhhhh). He helped me over MSN with the stupid questions I had. Thank goodness! Haha. I got full marks for the first SAC. That's a good start. But then the second one. Imagine the Empire State Building crumbling down. Ok.. I guess it wasn't THAT bad, but to me, it was realllyyyy reallllllllyyyyyyyyyyy bad. It started my totally disgusting comfort food mania. So for the SAC, it was initially supposed to be an application task thing. So it was supposed to be those project type of things where you have to do research and everything. But then the teachers decided to make it into a normal test-like SAC, but splitting it up into three parts. So the first part was on Functions, the second was Logs and Exponentials, and the third and last one was on Trigonometry. And they were all extended response questions.
Let me tell you, the first part was absolutely horrible. It would be the first, and hopefully last time I mess up a test THAT bad. It was really, really bad. We got three questions for the first part (extended response!). And I didn't finish. Didn't finish. Didn't finish. And no it wasn't like I missed out one or two, I didn't finish a WHOLE QUESTION. Which was like what.. 14 marks out of 30 or 35? I'm actually not exactly sure. But then because I couldn't get the equation in the first place, I couldn't move on to the next questions. Because it was all calculator-based, and I just forgot how to do that particular thing in the graphics calculator. I forgot that you could actually do that! Point fingers at myself, because if I studied properly, like REALLY properly, I would have come across that. Sigh. So yea. A whole question blank. It was really bad. Really, really bad. I walked out wanting to hide in a corner and cry. That was how bad it was. Then I started eating loads of Twix and everything. Comfort food.
The second part, at least I sort of finished. I'm not too sure whether I got them all right though. Because it was calculator-based, most of the answers were all in decimal places, and you know how with those type of answers, you could easily be wrong and not know it? Sigh. Oh well. The third part was HARD! There was so much to do! Crazy! I didn't really finish but for that, I think I tried my best. It was too long. We haven't gotten the results back yet, and I'm not sure whether I want to know. It's so horrible. I don't want to think about it. Just want to shove it to the back of my head where it can never be found again. Hah. As if.
Next. I've gained weight. Well.. maybe not. But I feel really unhealthy. Seriously. With all that Twix and the really stupid food I've been eating, I feel so horrible! And plus, because of the cold weather, I do things often sluggishly and I don't feel like walking to the library which is my only form of exercise. Kind of sad. Especially now I go to McDonalds every Friday with everyone after Fungus. Tsk tsk tsk. I feel so horrible. No more Twix, no more Pods, no more McDonalds for me for a while now. Abstinence. Haha.
Oh yea. Holiday. Why do I feel like I'm on a holiday? Last week, we had exams, so that means we didn't have Yr 11 classes. Then this week, the mid-year exams were on. As in the VCE mid-years, not the schools. So we didn't have any Yr 12 classes. Especially since I'm doing Indonesian outside of school, I have more frees. So I've been going to school at like 10am or something and coming out at 12. Haha. Then also, mum is here. YAY!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. I mean it wholeheartedly that she's like gravity. As soon as she arrived, she's been pulling us back upright, to where we are supposed to be. Like the house is clean, we've been having proper food and everything. Our study rooms are tidier and stuff. Gravity man (Y). So yea. Normally, I would spend time in the library and everything, with the awesome amount of frees I'm having. But because she's here, I go back to the house and everything. And then of course I spend a lot of time NOW catching up with lost times blogging. Sadness! So yea. For two weeks now, I haven't touched any work. :O Tomorrow I shall start working hard. Pfft. But I'll probably have work. I haven't worked at all this week you know! Hah. No incentive too, except for the money. Haha. I'm pretty sure Mohammad sort of dislikes me and wants to fire me. OH WELL. BUT, I should actually focus on the money. Really. I'm saving up for traveling funds! YEA! Save save save! (Now I curse myself for slacking off with my job..... MEGA SIGH).
The worst part is, I start normal classes next week. SIGH. And I haven't done any work AT ALL. No more exams or extra frees. WISTFUL.
Ok. Keep going. Kel's birthday! HUA HUA HUA. I put a lot of effort into her birthday. It was a bit disappointing actually, but it all worked out in the end (thanks God!). So when her birthday was coming up, I was thinking a lot about it. Then the day before her birthday, can you believe that I actually forgot? Well.. it wasn't really a forgot, just didn't remember. Slight difference! Haha. Kat texted me asking me what I was going to do or what I was getting her and I was like ARGHHHHH (as Miss Grant puts it,) FUGGLENUTS! I was so annoyed then. I started planning everything in my head. I wanted to cook her dinner. A good, birthday dinner.
So the next day, I think it was a Friday, I rode my bicycle to school. Oh wait! I woke up extra early! I intended it to be like an hour or half an hour earlier or something, but I ended up waking up only less than half an hour before my usual time. I think. I don't remember actually. THEN, I used WHITE WINGS to bake a brownie cake for her. Wasn't that successful. But still the chocolate was nice! Well.. I was really in a rush and because I wanted to hide the cake, I chucked it under the pantry, in the lower shelf. Hahaha. I was late to school then. But oh well. Yes, I rode my rotting (not literally) bicycle to school because I was late. Then at lunch which lasts for about an hour, I rode to Box Hill to buy stuff that I needed for her birthday dinner. I had a free period next, so I had about two hours. I bought this huge heavy cabbage, a container of tofu, chicken pieces from the butcher, and asked the butcher to mince some of those chicken pieces, bought those packets of instant sauces as well because I'm a lousy cook. Haha.
So yes, with those REALLY heavy stuff in my backpack, I started back. Because I still had about half an hour or more, I went back home to deposit the items. Haha. It was tiring. The cabbage was like bulging out of my bag and it hurt my back, plus is was sort of drizzling! All for Kelly. Haha. (Worth it!). Then when I got back home, I started cutting up the ingredients. The chicken pieces (DISGUSTING!!!!! ARGH!), the mushrooms we had at home, and the cabbage (SOB!). Then I put everything away and rushed back to school. Power walked to the lockers, grabbed my pencil case and went to my Methods class for a Trig topic test. So I literally got into the classroom and sat down and started the test and walked back out to go home. I had work at 4pm, so I had less than an hour to do more stuff. Cut up more stuff and then went to work.
It was pretty horrible at work. Kat came back to the house, she brought two slices of cake from the Crown Bakery. But then Kel said she's not coming home for dinner which TOTALLY CRUSHED ME! Imagine the garlic pounder (the stone thingy that kakak always uses) pounding my heart. I was sooooo crushed. Then I asked her not to eat dinner and everything and asked her to have a nice dinner at home when she comes back. Which was like at 11pm or maybe later than that. Sadly, Kat went back to college. I felt SO UTTERLY IMMENSELY bad that she traveled all that way for nothing, just to drop of some cake. =( Sadness! But oh well. So I got home at 10pm and made sure I had everything. It was one of those stressed moments like I have during exams, where all I do is stand there and think. I think about what I'm going to do, what I have to do, what I need to remind myself, the sequence of those I need to do. At those moments, I imagine white hair sprouting on my head. Haha. What a horrible image. Oh well. It generally happens when I use my brain. Haha.
So at like 10.30 or 11 or something, I started cooking. Stupid cabbage! The sauce I used, honey chicken sauce, was absolutely horrible! It tasted weird! Granted, it was for chicken, but then I often use instant sauces with stuff that they weren't supposed to be for. So fail man! I didn't touch that dish. Thank goodness cabbage wasn't one of the special dishes that Kel likes. I cooked the cabbage with mushrooms (those normal white mushrooms, not the canned ones). Totally wasted mushrooms. Then I cooked a plain mushroom dish with garlic and pepper. Kel likes mushrooms. Then I cooked lemon chicken as well. Kel likes lemon chicken. (Y) And let me tell you. Lemon chicken = coating the chicken with flour and deep frying it. No experience in deep frying but I survived. And plus, it was SO GOOD! Yummy! Of course, instant sauce packet. But still. Applause yo! Then there was also TOFU! The main dish was TOFU with minced chicken. It was SO YUMMY!!!! With instant sauce (hangs head in shame) but. SO YUMMY! I was totally multitasking man! Seriously! I was cooking like two items or more in one go, AND cooking rice at the same time (HAHA as if. The rice cooks itself in the rice cooker.. >:P). I ALMOST FORGOT to take the cake out, believe it or not. The cake was so HARD! But oh well, it served its purpose as a birthday cake, who cares.
PFFT. Guess what? I ended up eating the brownie cake. The whole thing. Not at once of course GOSH, but yea. The cake with ice cream. And when mum left, she left apple pie here too and I was the one who finished that as well. With ice cream. And Kat's cake? Same. I ended up finishing it. In a period of one/two months. Sadness man. And you ask me why I complain I'm unhealthy? THIS IS YOUR EVIDENCE! D:< So yea. There we were, eating rice and stuff at almost 12 midnight. Oh well. So yes, in the end everything turned out well. Oh ya, Kev bought Angostura Lemon Lime and Bitters pre-mixed drinks, which Kel loves. OH YA. Almost forgot. The day before her birthday right, at 10pm, Kev had to go to the 24 hours Coles to get white bread for me. I boiled eggs and made Kel EGG MAYO sandwich, which I've never made before and haven't had in AGES myself. Sniff. I should have been making them for myself. Haha. I made them for Kel and glad-wrapped them for her lunch on her birthday. Pfft. She didn't even eat it. She left it in the fridge in her office. SNIFF MAN! That was special. An Egg Mayo sandwich that is an absolutely rare commodity in our life! It's like seeing a humpback whale breach. That's how rare and special it is. D:<
Oh well. Kel is 22. Can you believe that? We're all getting so old. I'm going to be EIGHTEEN!!!!!!! ARGH! How unfair. That's next year though. But still. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEL! Hope you had a good one! =D LOVE YOU! Oh, and all this happened on the 7th of May, 2010. =D 4th of May, Dad's birthday! I sent him a nice text! =D 9th of May, Mothers' Day. I called up mum on Skype. =D All these things (excluding Kel's birthday, that's a BIG thing.. hmm going to be hard to top that OH NO) may seem small, but they are filled with my sincerity. I hope all of you know that. =D
Oh and just an additional fact. I usually work about 6 hours. 4pm-10pm. I used to work 8 hours too on Sat or Suns, it depends on what Mohammad asks. From 2pm-10pm. But then I don't anymore. All for the best. Oh well. I have to keep on his good side. Focus on the money! Save for my traveling fund!!!!!!!
I think that's about all I can think of. FOR NOW. I'm sure everyone is like 'YAY FINALLY! THE END!'. Glad for you guys. Haha. Oh wait. No. NEXT POST!
