Crunch Time Yet Again

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!!!
