New Skin!

Compared to the blogskin I found yesterday; this is much much better. Even though I'm not a great fan of the colour pink, the picture suits my personality, sorta.

I know, i know. It takes a long time to load, but the picture is simply...wow.

Anyways, I'm not gonna spend my whole time typing about the blogskin.

History was today; paper II from 7.30-10.00, paper I from 10.45-12.05.
I thought I was prepared, but one look at the essay part was enough for me to foresee my history grade: Don't expect an A1 this time.
To think that the teacher was nice to give the scope to study and I was hell bent on memorizing the ones that I thought I will do...GAHHH!

First question was indeed about Prophet Muhammad and his quest to spread Islam, but in secrecy; but that was only (a). There were two other questions:
(b) Why were the people of Mecca attracted to taking Islam as their faith
(c) Why were the Arabs against Islam
...As if I could remember what I read yesterday? Fortunately, my cerebrum seems to have recalled bits and pieces of that particular class last year and I was able to answer some of it. Miss Leong won't be happy.

We were required to do three out of five; with one down, I had another two to go.
There was this question about Tok Janggut and his story of how and why he started to rebel. Actually, I got one of the facts wrong. I wrote Kota Telemong in my essay. (It was supposed to be Pasir Puteh; Kota Lama belongs with Dato Maharaja Lela of Perak while Kuala Telemong belongs with Haji Abdul Rahman Limbong of Terengganu. I'm glad i didn't continue.
I wrote one paragraph and then looked at what I needed to answer for (b), which was to explain what role did the newspaper play on the issue of education during the 1930s. OMG, I didn't even study that at all! Scrapped that page off and did this instead;
(a) Explain why Western Imperialists were so keen on taking over the South-East Asian Countries.
(b) State the differences in the way of ruling before and during the British reign.

Third question was the worst one;
(a) Explain the difference between the executive (badan perlaksana) and the legislative (badan perundangan) bodies of the government.
(b) What are the conditions to fulfill if one intends to take part in the voting.
(c) Explain the voting process.
...
I screwed the first question up by writing only 3 sentences! GAWD, this is my worst one ever. Not only was I lacking in information in that area; I GOT THE WHOLE THING MIXED UP TOO! I switched executive with legislative!!! -________________-
The second question was doable.
But the third one was the one that made me feel like roadkill. I was memorizing it the whole night and then...I got two of the processes mixed up. =.=
The actual one was that the parties that are involved would be campaigning for 7-15 days before the Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) (Don't know the name in English though...) would announce the voting posts and the place where the counting would be done. I wrote it the other way round. That's 2 marks from 9. I think I'd lose more than that.

After recess, it was paper I; multiple choice questions. This was easy. I finished in around 10 mins. I think I have less than five mistakes.
It's always been like this; I don't need to study for multiple choice. One look at the question and I'd get the answer, most of the time. It's really weird though; I'm really absent-minded and scatterbrain. I don't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday. I wonder how my neurons work...

That's about it for today, or yesterday...Whatever.
It's 1:45 in the morning and I'm supposed to have gone to bed an hour ago.

Let's see what the morning brings.

>.<

Haha, I can't believe I actually went and found myself a nice template (nice to me :P), edited it and tagged my friends. Yeah, I'm still not done with my memorizing yet...and it's 2.10 in the morning now. -______________-

I guess I'll go memorize now before heading to bed. Or I can screw my midterm results and work harder for the next one, which is trials. o_O TRIALS!!!

My life is is SO over.

History Blues

To the cracks I see near the air conditioning unit,

GAWD...I swore to update my blog more often and I didn't do it. I kinda put it aside after having so many things going on with life.

Anyways, exams are here! Rather, it is ongoing; History is TOMORROW! *wide eye*
Even though the teacher was nice enough to give us to scope of questions, I still couldn't find the mood to study.
The essay questions I would be taking are:
1.Penyebaran Islam di Makkah (I still remember bits and pieces of it from the finals last year)
2. Penentangan Pemimpin Tempatan terhadap British (made a story out of it and tortured bro by asking him to listen; will do the same with Matt, my toy dog (yes, I own a toy dog; many in fact). I'll be taken as a psychopath if anyone sees it)
3. Pilihan raya.

My first attempt to study history was after reaching school. Took the Form 4 textbook out of my bag and tried reading it. Got to chapter 4 and fell asleep. Woke up when the teacher came into the class and tried again. Fell asleep after 5 minutes.
Woke up later for EST paper 2.
2nd attempt was during the car ride to Giant. Nothing went in.
Such a sad case, huh?

The whole afternoon was spent at Giant. It involved mom, a large cart of groceries (two months worth to be exact) and me feeling really sticky.
The electricity stopped again during the second half of the day in school. Geez, is the school that poor not to be able to pay for the electric bills?

Back at home, I fell asleep after taking a long and warm shower. Was woken up abruptly when bro came into the room and asked if he could have my hotdog.
I've been wondering about this for quite some time; do guys really have black holes for stomachs? I always hear them complaining about being hungry! Where does all the food go?

Watched the semi-finals of American Idol while munching on that hotdog of mine. I'm glad that Syesha got kicked off. I don't know why, but I just don't like her. Mom was glad that she's out. The two Davids are out to battle each other for the title.
I like David Cook...*drools* XD
He has the bad boy look that I like; so does Robert Downey Jr. of Iron Man. :X

Back to history. Now, I'll just have to memorize the whole voting process and I'm good to go. Yeah, there's this part of the structure question involving the pentadbiran negeri and persekutuan thingy...Guess I'll have to read up about that too. GAHHHHHH!

And I found out that my blog picture doesn't show. The background pic, I mean; I don't take pictures of myself in real life. Yeah, I'm that UGLY.
I could go blog skin hunting now...But any more procrastination on my studying would make me lose more sleep later. I'll just find one that I like and change it tomorrow then.

Feels less crappy; but crappy nonetheless,
Lyn.

Sick

I'm still speechless today. It's bad to inherit those large tonsils and white hair from my dad; why can't he give me genes that are an advantage to my looks?!?!

Anyways, I'm feeling less crappy now than 12 hours ago. I shouldn't have gone to school.
We had a really dumb test today, chem. I have to do well in this subject, cause it's the main component in the course I want to take for further education. If it wasn't, I couldn't even give a damn about it.
Sitting in class was like sitting in a stove today. To everyone else, the weather was cool and nice; but with my body raging war on whatever that has infiltrated the 1st line of defense, it had become unbearably hot and cold at the same time. My skin was cold to the touch but I was boiling hot inside. Thanks, my whacked body.

I practically slept the whole afternoon away; spending a fraction of my time sleeping on the leather couch in the tv room and the better part under my duvet in bed. The sky was dark by the time I woke up.

School's being the host for the state(?) level public speaking competition tomorrow and I'm assigned for registry duty with Felicia. If I were to sit beside her and do my gestures, I think they'd be thinking that there's a sign language competition in conjunction with the public speaking. I don't know whether I'm on for timekeeper or not; I'll have to ask the teacher again tomorrow, rather, I'd have to write it in words.
No point turning up for school only to do one small thing and be bored the whole day through.

My story is still in progress, snail slow.

Right, now I'll go to Facebook and type out another note.

New Project?

To think, people have blogs that they update everyday, writing about every lil detail about their lives. My life is mundane; I don't need everyone to know how boring it is.

Ah, April. The month of spring?
We don't have four seasons here, so I don't know for sure.

CABAL, a game that I've discovered (Bro claims he did, but I was the one with the invite) and spent the past 2 or 3 weeks on grinding. Currently lvl 81 and is getting quite tired of it already.
Met a few new friends, whom surprisingly stays very nearby.
So to counter the time (and life) wasted away on that game, I'm currently attempting a lil something to balance out. I don't want the parental units (I love this word to describe parents, makes them sound like robots. Kudos to Amy Deckers!) to say that I've spent too much time on something not worthwhile.

It doesn't have a title yet, nor does it have a plot. Kinda making it as I go.
It's already 3 1/2 pages written in my small handwriting (oops, I think I misspelt that word in my Facebook note). Nothing is set to stone yet, and I won't go carve it and then abandon it later.
When I get to it halfway (and God knows when), I'll type it out. I hope the words don't fade out completely by then.

Dad said that he's going to get me a new phone! Wahooo~
Hold up, I'm not celebrating just yet; not till I have the phone in my hand and it's one that has the more modern functions. I don't want it to be like the lame one that I'm having rite now.

Speaking of which, this lame one has caused me enough troubles.
I tried checking my balance and it switched itself off! I switched it on again and it did the same thing!
I'm glad to get rid of it.

Ah, time to head to bed. Not!
I think I'll hang around mindlessly surfing the net until 12.
