Hm, in this season of feverish last-minute studying for trials, I wonder if any of you actually try studying- with some interesting twist.
No, seriously, have you guys actually tried searching textbook topics out on Wikipedia? It's a pretty fun way to read otherwise extremely dry subjects, and an excuse to sit in front of the computer. And if you really read the articles, you'll actually come by plenty of useful information. Sometimes the change of atmosphere/material will give your brain a much needed recharge. I do this quite a lot, especially for yawn-inducing subjects like History and Economy, and also for some spiffy Science topics I want to know more about.
It's also pretty handy for the English-driven individuals that find the subjects in BM life threatening. Reading the English articles on Wiki can help you out a lot. It works for me, anyway. And I should think it'll help out the Chinese/Tamil-speaking/reading individuals as well, if the articles come in those languages. You can scroll down the language list on the left-hand side of the page to see if the article comes in a language your most comfortable with. And, for the sake of sakes, you could try clicking on Bahasa Melayu and see the uncanny resemblance the article has to the textbooks XD.
So try typing in Kerajaan Bani Umaiyah or Mesopotamia, or, heck, even Sistem Ekonomi Perancangan Pusat into the Wiki search engine and go read the articles that pop out. Some way or another they'll be bound to help you boost up your exam marks.
Though, of course, close every other window/tab you have on (e.g: Facebook/Gaia/other irrelevant time-wasting space on the Internet) and make sure you give full concentration.
And here's hoping this article has made studying just a twee bit more fun to all the suffering students out there~
*by the way, Kerajaan Bani Umaiyah might just come out as Umayyad Caliphate in English. Yeah, I tried that one out. Lol.

No wai DX
Taken at Twinny's parteh.My boobs look as if they're sagging =_=.
Flu, fever and a funny throat- all I need now is breathing difficulties and aching joints to be a certified H1n1-er.
*touches wood*
Anyway, life has been uneventful, because nothing really happens when you're sick except for swallowing pills and sleeping and feeling shitteh, so yeah. Not sure what is the purpose of this blog post. Probably just to remind you of my pitiful existence.
Oh, did anyone read the Star paper yesterday? Yesterday as in the 25th. There was a write-up about the Creative Media Award and you could actually see my absolutely shitteh drawing. Second from right, row closest to the camera. It's already shitteh by itself; they just HAD to make it shittier by putting it in between two completely awesome drawings. Bleh. TOA called up yesterday to say I didn't get anything, so, yeah. I don't mind. At least I got consoled XD XD XD. To go for that day workshop is great enough, though I think the date clashes with SPM or something. Oh well. That's in the pretty -far- future so we'll leave it at that. Haha.
Argh. Sleep is what I need. SLEEP! Goodnight everyone.
24.8.09
Bahhhh
Why the hell is the Internet so fucking slow????!!!!!!
What, I don't touch the computer for two days and the Internet cables all snapped or something?! DX.
Uhm, so, yeah. Hello world. Saturday's comp was teh sh!tz. Lol. I wasn't at all happy with what I managed to spew out. I know now that 3 hours is far too short for me to come up with anything remotely satisfying. So, yeah. Live with it. But what with the short short short time and the fact that I had next to absolutely zero inspiration, I was one of the shortlisted out of the 32 they picked out that day. If I get shorlisted to win one of the prizes TOA will give me a tinkle tomorrow or Wednesday. If not, well, I still get a seat to a one-day art workshop sometime in December. Whee.
Gah, bloody Internet's lagging to much for me to do anything. Going off to go study and shit. Bleh. Farewell, everybody.

Don't
Start freaking out.
Though I can't seem to be able to not freak out @.@.
Why is it that every other person around me seems to have far more confident in me than I have of myself?! DX
Get a hold of yourself, Joanne. It's not the end of the world. It's not as if your entire future/career depends on this one thing.
..........Holy good lordy.
Anyways, today I went to watch Up with the seme, Bao and Rachel. As Bao said, "It's the only thing we can do to support her" or something along those lines. Anyway, the movie was a twee bit childish and I end up having to owe dear old Rachel a waffle, it was pretty fun. Haha. Thanks a bunch you guys. If I win something, I'll take you guys out for lunch =D.
After that went to twinny's house to pass some pressies seeing as I won't be able to go to her parteh this Sat. BUT I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT TWINNY. I SWEAR I'LL DO MY ABSOLUTE VERY BEST!!! Haha. She sent me a good-luck card via Raveena. I shall bring it along, together with all the good wishes that everyone else has sent me. Keep them coming, I think I'll be needing all the luck I can get ;D.
Uhm, this shall be a relatively short post because I shall now return to packing. Farewell, everybodeh. Fingers crossed.

Puri puri puri~~~~~~
Purikura!<3 br="br">
I never like the idea of camwhoring in a photobooth, but if I were given the option to re-live yesterday's antics, I'd give everything I had to do so =D.
Gah. No one one will ever know how much I'd like to go to GACC. But obviously I'm not -there- and I'm stuck -here- in front of the computer blogging about how much I'd like to be -there- eventhough it's less than 10 minutes away from -here- XP. But, no. I mustn't be so selfish. It is for the well being of mankind. Haha. But, yeah. I don't want anything unfortunate to happen. I don't want something extremely fucked up happening and it being entirely my fault. So, I'll just avoid the glares and whys and the wonderings of why I'm such a paranoid idiot and stick my foot in it. I'm okay with the looks and questions. It's not your fault because I never provided you an explanation, before or now. So, hm, yeah. I'll quit moaning about it. There's always Comic Fiesta. And GACC next year, though I have an odd feeling that I'd proabbly have to go there solo, who knows. Lol.
I'm already at the 4th page of Tatakau Monotachi! Yeah, from what I was spouting about some 10 months or so ago you'd think I'd be done with the dang song by now. I actually stopped playing it cause I thought it to be too effing hard, but then I got back to it for the heck of it and now, despite the fact that I'm going at a speed of a dead snail and that my fingers are going to split from stretching too much and that my piano teacher ain't helping me out at all, I'm doing pretty well. Haha. It'll probably take me another 3 years or so to actually reach the speed and quality of the original playing, but what the hell. Practice makes perfect, yeah? I just gotta stick to it XD.
Alright, retarded post over. Next time, I shall go into the purikura with my parents and sister. Haha.

Hm
Well, today was certainly a very enjoyable day =D.
Went out to meet dear old Lavi who came back from a place with quite a lot of sand. Haha. I came a good half hour late due to tragic unforseen circumstances, but...uhm. Better late than never, right? XD.
We had lunch over at US Pizza in DP. The pizzas tasted really nice, surprisingly enough. Haha.
So...that's us! Except me, that is. Lol.
Us with me inside 8D
Seme lolling round, Lavi and I
Wonky heart <3
Three stooges XD
Uhm...five stooges? Lol
The other three stooges on the other side of the table
Ravee + Lavi= Uh...Ravi? LOL
Ravee and I
Various forms of butt-human exploitation
Group photo~

(Excuse me for not being able to blog properly. Slightly woozy after beer in sister's bf's 21st birthday bash)
Uhm, I think I'll just do some random narrating as we go along. Yeah.

Group photo~ Then at night went to the aforemention sister's bf's 21st birthday bash. It was a twee bit embarassing, but I had lots of fun. Buffeted till I nearly burst XD. Not my fault the food (and booze) was too good. Lol.
