First Day

4/10/10


Hey guys! Wow I know. It's been ages since I posted an actual up-to-date post. 


So. Here's the thing. We have now officially entered into Term 4! The last term of the year! Daylight savings is activated :O Which means that I'm an additional hour apart from Malaysia, which is kind of messy in terms of meeting friends online because of the time difference. -.- Ok.. My two weeks of holidays were spent back HOME and it was absolutely WONDERFUL. I really, really enjoyed myself back home. I think that I've always loved Malaysia, but after coming to this different country, I've learnt to love Malaysia MORE for everything that it is. So holidays. I got my driver's license!!!!! I got my P's! :D I'm really happy about that. I spent a lot of time on it and my right arm is slightly darker than my left arm (because we drive on the right hand side), but I GOT IT!!!! YAY!!! The examiner was super bored and really just wanted to get it over and done with. I don't blame him, I was his last student and it's been going on the whole day. The part where I was supposed to check the mirrors and everything before driving, and the part where I had to pull my handbreak at the intersection, he was like 'jalan saja jalan saja'. It was pretty funny. Anyway. The best part is mum allowed me to drive BY MYSELF only after sitting with me for like 2 days. I think I just succeeded in boring her so much because of my slow speed, and also because she was busy, so she just couldn't be bothered. But really. YAY for my driving license! :D :D 


Ok. I met up with friends and stuff. And did a bit of Methods. Oh and another highlight is that our previously new puppy which is not so much new and not much of a puppy now, was run over by mum accidentally. Because she's still kinda new, she still doesn't know to avoid the moving vehicle with deadly wheels on it. THANKFULLY mum didn't squish her. The puppy is black and it's a reminder of Soda (a male dog which was like our guard dog. He was kind of fierce and always sat in front of the front door) who died of old age (and also, I always imagined his name being spelt with a Zet even though it doesn't make sense). Anyway, so we named the black, also sausage-like puppy Sarsi (I wanted Soda Pop, or Sardine or something, but I guess Sarsi is fine). Anyway. She was injured and stuff, couldn't walk properly and went on an IV drip. She didn't eat and drink and stuff. And one day she did drink but vomited it out. And it so totally reminded me of Lobsters.

Lobsters is (have I never told you about her?) Kev's dog. She.. well.. I can't really remember now. I think she was sick, either that or it was old age. She just didn't eat anything, didn't drink. And even then, she kept vomiting, and you could tell it was absolutely NOTHING. Seriously, I was so shocked and appalled at how fast she lost weight. She really had no belly and it was just scary. The vomit was always sour, and my guess was it was just gastric juices. It was pretty horrible. When she walked or tried to get up, you could see her legs not having enough strength. They just kept slipping on the floor again and again. It was really horrible. She died in the vet clinic my brother took her to. It was really a sad time. She's been with us for ages and she was so pretty. Rest in peace Lobsters! :( 


So yea. Sarsi. With all the not eating and vomiting (though seriously not as bad as Lobsters), but I think it was the not eating and the trouble-with-walking that really tugged on my heart. Seriously. I was so worried all the time, and there was one day I woke up and I just felt super down and upset. It was pretty bad. But all good I guess. She started eating and drinking and she PEE-ED! :D She still gags (not vomit, but just gags) as if she's going to vomit but she doesn't. So I guess that's good. I just really really really hope that there's nothing really wrong with her. 


So. I guess that's about all that really happened back home apart from the usual meeting up with friends. But I did get a little bit of Methods done. NEWSFLASH! My exam, as in the VCE exam, is in 31 days!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually pretty stressed because I feel like I'm still sort of rusty with the first few chapters which are really confusing. Gah. Anyway.. Slowly I guess. :/ Pray!! :D

Ok. Sorry guys. UGH I KNOW. I did try. But seriously. A few weeks have gone and things have changed too. My exam is now closer and I'm still pretty stressed. I went through a really stressed time when I was sure that a 50 wasn't possible for my paper. But now I'm starting to think it's alright again. Before, I think I went just a little bit crazy and I seriously thought I couldn't do it. Like I kept getting these REALLY REALLY simple questions wrong and stuff. It was horrible. I wasn't nervous, I wasn't focused, I wasn't anything. I just couldn't. do. it. But on Monday, we had a practice exam after school that ran until 8pm (3 hours for both papers, not including reading time!). And that was alright. I think that the paper was a little bit too easy but still, CONFIDENCE BOOST. So that's not too bad. I am now in the process of getting my notes all sorted out, and I still have practice papers I can work on. So GO ME!!! 


Ok there are other stuff happening too, but why don't I just post this one up first, seeing as it's been a draft for way too long. Stressed for tonight (muck-up) you'll soon know why. 


I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!! Wait. Rephrase. I NEED CHOCOLATE!!!!! 


Love life. :D
