Greetings!
My first paper is coming on Friday and I'm getting nervous.
Not worried about failing because the internal assessment marks are already there, so I'm quite safe in that sense. But this also becomes a problem because it takes away the pressure and motivation to really study hard. I have already given up on aiming for the Monash scholarship because the score requirement is too high. So when u think about it, does scoring a 60 make a difference from a 70 or at most 78-ish?
Well I do want to give the best that I can. I hate that I still can't find the mood to study consistently and effectively. Where's the fire when you need it?
Ugh enough about that.
Yesterday my family went to Melaka to visit my sis who was moving in to her new crib. The house has a clean and calm look, with most furniture in white or dark wood to give it a classy feel. I love the living area which has this really awesome and comfy sofa set coupled with a huge furry rug on the floor that is just so nice to laze on :)
We were setting up a fire to light up the charcoal for the "Yup For" (enter fire) ceremony, and at one point it got so smoky at the lift area the fire alarm actually went off! Luckily there were no sprinklers or else it would have been a funny scene :P
After all the moving, we went for lunch at Bei Zhan which was packed! The restaurant had relocated to a bigger and more well decorated place since my last visit. We then adjourned to Jonker street for some jalan-jalan. Of course we had chendol and bought pineapple tarts haha :) Being in Melaka never fails to give me that touristy feel, no matter how many times I have been there. And it's also nice to see tourists from various countries, feels so international! :P
Melaka really is becoming more modern and sophisticated, with big malls like Dataran Pahlawan and the new Jusco (it's called Aeon Shopping Centre i think) that has vendors similar to those in PJ and KL.
So I had a good time there. But it sucks having to come back to reality and a pile of notes waiting to be read. ARGHHH I guess I should stop complaining and get moving! Time to fight again!!!

Final exams soon!
Wow it's been exactly 1 month since my last post. Don't think I have ever left such a huge gap in updating my blog. Apologies if anyone is still reading this!
During this month I have been working feverishly to complete all the remaining assignments, and minutes ago I just finished typing the very last lab report of this semester, and also 2010! Felt instant relief. Looking back now, I have come a long way battling through some really long nights to finish reports and essays. But coming out on the other side now, to know that I made it through is just awesome :)
But then comes the not so awesome part of exams. But honestly, I don't feel as stressed studying compared to rushing for assignments even though the weightage for finals are high. I know there's a lot on the line, but somehow I just don't feel as much pressure... maybe it's because there's no deadline. And I love study breaks. Don't have to wake up early and avoid the horrible traffic outside. But by the time when I really have to start studying, you won't hear me being as cheerful as I am now.
There really isn't much else going on in my life now. I'm just waiting for the exams to be over, then I will think of ways to thoroughly enjoy and spend my 3 week break before the summer semester starts in December. I'm really itching to go on holiday, preferably somewhere with a beach. Miss the feeling of having sand under my feet and between the toes :) I like those relaxing holidays where you can just laze around and not do anything... ohh and enjoy yummy food hahaha. I love hotel breakfast, seeing the sausages, bakon and harsh browns served buffet style is so fun!! :D
OK I'm getting ahead of myself. Should focus on exams first!
