Finally found out why my posts always displayed a date 2 days before the time I actually post the posts. Uhh whaa? Bottom line is, I finally fixed the time zone settings. Woots, yay me.
Strangely enough, today feels like a holiday, feels just like any ordinary Saturday..
Except that it's a Wednesday and my EE, Evaluation Exam, begins TOMORROW! In under 24 hours! And what am I doing now? Just hanging around in the Student Centre at Sunway College, doing maths, and Plants Vs. Zombies :D God I'm so screwed for the exam :D

Day 45 : What More Could You Ask For?
I have a splitting headache. My head feels like it's about to explode, can't take it no more. One thing's certain, this isn't one of my bouts of overthinking again. I've been through that far too many times. Kinda brings me way back, when I used to be concerned over something different, when that something involved a complete loss of apetite. Although that wasn't at my end and all I could feel was sympathy.
This whole sense of dread started in the morning. Tried not to think too much of it but, I'm me, the classic overthinker. Felt as though a curtain of misery, somewhat shroudlike has just enveloped me.. again. I hate this feeling. To stand by the sidelines, insignificant and incapable.
It's times like these I completely despise the idea of being stumped and of no use to the people around me. It's like blanking out again, losing my conscience, in a metaphorical sense. I still see the people, I can hear their speech, but I can no longer process all the information.
This silence.. it's bone chilling. It feels like I'm floating in an ocean of despair and desolation, never to reach salvation.
Watching time go by, it slices me, time and time again. It cuts me in the same spot, again and again until there's no longer any way to heal my wounds.
My soul is shattered, scattered across the wind, probably to never be whole again. What's a soul anyway?

Best Bits of Project Alpha Season 2
Everything's passed by like a flash, 49 episodes of Project Alpha Season 2 just whoozed past in a blurry haze.
Well, I'd like to start off by saying that my single most favourite moment of the season is.. drumroll please... The Project Alpha theme song! Lol, no seriously, it's awesome :D
Okay, that aside. One of my favourite moments is the introduction of Niki Cheong during Ep9. He's the first featured blogger of Season 2. During the start, Niki Cheong talks about his interest at writing since a young age and also journalism. It was really interesting when he talked about all the extra benefits of being a journalist, being able to meet famous people :)
Let's not forget the scene Elaine Daly, she's his COUSIN!! D:! And they started talking about their childhood. Turns out his chinese name is Beng! So everyone called him AH BENG. HAHHA :D They just started spiking each other but they also watched each other's back, which was really sweet :) below's the link to that episode.
I liked the meeting between Cheesie and Kenny Sia in Ep23. It really highlights how people are so connected these days even though they might not realise it and the influence the internet has had on us. Kenny Sia has been blogging about her and through that, they got aquainted. It also showed how people can really change in a short period of time, as shown by Ringo and described by her friends. His attempt to play matchmaker was also hilarious. The description of Ringo's dream guy by Kenny Sia was also unforgettable. "If she likes a guy then BOOMBOOMBOOM within 3 days, they'd be together" I couldn't stop laughing at the end when they started talking in a weird accent and singing the Hokkien song. Let's not forget the opening sing where Kenny Sia was also singing :D Here's a link to that episode :)
Well, all good things must come to an end, as sad as they may be. But as one door closes, another one opens in its wake. :) Enjoy the final few episodes of Project Alpha Season 2 as well as a BONUS episode! Omgosh! Who DOESN'T love bonus episodes? :) :) :)

Day 43 : Figment of My Imagination
This is be a completely random and pointless post. Can't believe it's only 11.54am. I have NOTHING to do! Oh my gosh! Perhaps I should get started on that Bio project that's due this Tuesday.. Or I shall procrastinate a bit longer.
I don't know why is it that all my dreams are connected to my life one way or another. It's always has been. Felt like I just went through the whole AusMat year and it was already the final day. Said our goodbyes, and all of us went our seperate ways. Woke up the pain, I seriously can't imagine next year without the AusMat family :(
p.s. She's my castle in the sky (:

Day 41 : Take A Risk, Make A Change
Going over to Monash to completely my application form I sent in earlier during the Open Day. Whee :)
Finally kicking things into gear. EE's coming, and it's coming real soon, next Thursday as a matter of fact..
- EAL/D
- MAT 3C/3D
- CHEMISTRY
- PHYSICS
- BIOLOGY
The 5 subjects are laid out. Guess I gotta plan everything out, how much effort to put into each. I've been doing pretty bad all year long, it's about time I step it up a notch.
EAL/D, otherwise known as English. Hmm, I won't say I have complete confidence for this. I haven't written a darn essay for way too long now, and factual essays have never been my forte or preference. But I feel it will be quite managable.
MAT 3C/3D. The single most hellish subject I've ever taken in my life (heck, who knows after college I might stumble upon smth worse) The very thought of it sends shiver down my spine. I don't know how people can do the questions, so much for being able to do average lvl questions. Exams, I'm screwed. Definitely one of my worst subs. Hopefully I won't fail.
CHEMISTRY, the subject I feel most at home with. Probably my strongest subject, the only one I can rely on to really pull up my coursework marks. Not too happy with my topic test two marks though, I seriously need to step it up to keep with the class standard.
PHYSICS, not my best, but one of my favourite subjects :) AusMat-ians of Phy 4. You know why! :D :D :D!
BIOLOGY, one of my so-so subjects. Did HORRIBLE in previous test. Time for that to change.
Yeah yeah I've been going on and on about exams. What can I say? It won't exactly give a good impression if I had the couldn't careless about exams attitude will it? :)
Had a pretty awesome day. Thank you :) :) :) :) :)

Gimme Food On Flights
Personally, I'm not exactly the avid traveller neither do I actually like flying, the food had never really appealed to me. All the experiences that I actually had flying were spent eating plain ol' canned or packaged food and whatnot. But you know what will really rock?
Having THIS little delicacy as one of the in-flight meals!
Now, if you're not Malaysian you might probably be wondering what in the world is that! For Malaysians like me, it's known to us as "Roti Canai" or "Roti Kosong". Directly translated, it means EMPTY BREAD. Ahahha, I have no idea either :)
Why would I want such a *probably not so* tempting meal anyway? It's one of the MOST famous local dishes and if you're a Malaysian, there is absolutely no chance you've never had a taste of this. Being a Malaysian airline, MAS.. include this! I mean, what better way to promote tourism than to have a local delicacy served on board flights? Served with dhal, it could very well be one of the most flexible tasting food in Malaysia. The chewy texture combo-ed with the sweet *if you dip it in dhal* and slightly oily taste will make the whole flying experience.. truly unforgettable.
I remember a time I used to be so addicted to this dish, eating it for both breakfast AND lunch for almost 5 days straight. I think it is the ONLY dish that I could ever stand eating for a month straight. Yes, I said it, A MONTH! Need I reassure you more of the stranglehold this dish has on Malaysians like me? :)
Now as we start to drool over the idea of this being served in flights, why not kick back and relax. Play a round of Plants Vs. Zombies. Or even watch Project Alpha below :)

Day 39 : Drag Your Feet
Once again I feel as though I'm being enveloped by an invisible shroud of misery. Why, You ask? Probably due to one the worst nightmares I've had the prospect of experiencing. Maybe it's even due to the lack of sleep the past week. As to the details of the matter, being me, I won't disclose it. :D
The signs are unclear, vague as ever as I struggle to find my bearing down this long winding road. Seems like only yesterday I was at crossroads, then again I've already been through these lows more often than most. It kind of pains me when I see people around me stumble and fall, only to pick themselves up and succeed in their endeavors while I'm left in the dark. Never to see the light of day.
"Honest I've been begging for answers, that you and only you can give to me. A voice crying loud, been crying for days now.." ~I'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds.
I see silhouettes in the distance, their nature unfathomable, the path to them unclear.
It takes a lot to smile now, it used to come naturally. I never knew before that there were different smiles. The smile of laughter is temporary, you enjoy it, but you forget about it almost as soon as it came. The one that really touches you is when that person gets you all jittery and your smile reaches the very depth of your soul.
Random thought : I need ice cream! :D
p.s. Chemistry is also known as Physical Science :D

Day 38 : She's the Queen of Calamity
Every felt like you've stumbled upon a brick wall, or to hit a dead end in your life? When everything just seems to work against you, when the best of plans fall to bits in the tiniest of seconds. I guess I'm just starting to get paranoid about the smallest details in my oh so average life. It could very well me just me (or the instrumental version of Brighter playing in the background) but I've never felt like such a disappointment to myself and the people around me.
I don't stand out, I ain't sociable, I blend into the crowd completely, at times I feel nothing more than just a passing shadow which fades when the light ceases to exist. For those of you who know me, you'll know that I ain't exactly in the best of moods now. My head feels like it's in a million places and I'm starting to lose track of what's right and what's not.
Sometimes it just feels so good to lose yourself, let it all fade. To know nothingness and feel like an empty soul. It really helps make life so much simpler.
"Just don't give up, I'm working it out" The very tune of this starts to get me thinking a whole lot, sometimes a little bit too much.
When one door closes, another one opens. As time goes on, I can feel the subtle creaks in the air as the door is being closed. Perhaps the groundwork for a new path has been laid out. I don't know anymore. I want time to cease.
Note to self : Make a happy playlist.

Relaxation
Finally, all the hard work paid off. Everything comes to an end, 4 weeks of what felt like an uphill battle has finally ceased (well, almost. not till I'm done with the final part)! If you're wondering what this is, it's the notorious EALD assignment that's been plaguing the hearts and minds of me and fellow AusMat-ians alike.
Trust me when I say this is one assignment that really messes with your head. Or perhaps it's just the fact that all of us have been TRAINED (by you know what system) to procrastinate till the very last two weeks of the assignment submission deadline to even contemplate the idea of beginning your work.
All in all, it's a time for celebration, a time to rejoice! Itianne, Steven and Amanda.. You know very well what that means! :)
