hahaha I took my SATs in may this year. I got 1990. Not bad for first attempt. But it sucks coz I can't retake. I don't have the time with A levels keeping me so stressed out. Taking SAT2 in Dec. and my essay.. only got an 8/12. Let me give you a piece of advice. Ditch the stupid internet crap online that tells you to write a simple essay with 4 or 5 line in one paragraph etc. Coz I did that just coz I read about it one day before the test. And hell.. I knew I could have done better. Yet, 20 minutes for an essay?? or was it half an hour I don't remember.. =P seriously such a short period of time.. ><" once you're stuck you're basically screwed =// 

So.. in conclusion. Practice writing FAST. but not too UGLY! haha yeah I have a problem with ugly handwriting I know.. =p

Oh oh! you can also bring food and drinks into the room. I brought livita and red bull in. I reckon it works. HAHAHA. so you don't feel so sleepy in the morning.

And unis.. okay. I'm applying to Law for UK technically. US.. ugh yet to make a decision but they are freaking expensive man. application fee for USF $55. that's not even a top of the line uni. omg imagine applying for 4 or 5 different unis. I can see all our parent's wallets disintegrate into nothing. 

Ahh Leng-Lei.. I think the truth is. It will sound a tad fake. I could send you a copy of my ORIGINAL personal statement and compare it with my final one. Ah I typed something out here but decided not to. Who knows if UK unis will google you and see what you say bout them =p 

anyways. I have another lit and psycho test tomorrow. =( wish me luck.. haizz..

haha omgosh guys why is the blog so ACTIVE?? loll. i was just about to continue my SAT practise test when i decided " ho humm.. let me JUST check out the bloggie for a sec." and that sec continued into the next sec and the next and now im here blogging AS WELL. hahahhaa. i couldnt help myself!! i was reading and i had SO MANY comments that it warrants a post. SAT, hold on a little longer, my beloved. eheh.

pheww.. its getting a bit stressy man. everyone talking about unis, and applications, and aspirations and all. u know what I think?? i think donkey, you would do AMAZINGLY WELL in the SAT exam part!!! did u take it?? since ur thinking of US too? ( i just wrote us then changed it to CAPS cause then u might think i think ur thinking of us as in us which obviously is not what im talking about but that would be nice too =D heheh!) anyways. i tihnk u'd do amazingly cause ur entire post sounds like a freaking model essay man!! seriously. like the way u throw out examples and challenge everything and dissect everything right down to the very core. and like developing ur arguments and point of view and showing that ur THINKING and love to learn and all that. hahah. ok i sound like a textbook. but sorry that's all there is in my mind right now cause im sorta stressing over that part. my essay writing is ABYSSMAL. i have no SUBSTANCE in my writing, unlike u donks. haha i think my general knowledge is pathetic. sighs. hence i cant write a hardhitting essay especially in the tiny period of time they allot us. bah. i was so impressed by all ur knowledge donks!! hahah. i think u are TOTALLY suited for US.

CONSEQUENTLY(notice use of new geng word. haha) i have taken to trying to read online news whenever i can. what donks said totally rang true with me.. i love learning too!! and yeahh getting the most outta life. i didnt know jane eyre didnt wanna like fly free and stuff. see how terrible i am at all these? no wonder i cant think of good examples to write in the SAT. i think donks, that since ur so inquisitive and love learning and all u will flourish at ANY uni u choose xD i also wanna grow.. dont think im really doing that here =] in fact i think im experiencing retardating growth. pfft. hehe. but HOW does one grow? would going to US make me "grow" more?? or is the grass just greener. mebbe it depends on the person. haha. up to you to decide that the cup is half full donks!! xD

and leng lei! tis okayy. i tihnk i might be joining u in that whole switchign to commerce nonsense. hahha. but yeah accounting sounds terribly dryy. i was thinking definitely finance =] maybe finance + marketing? i dunno, sounds SLIGHTLY more interesting and versatile. but i have no clue on either of the subjects. haha. btw i just wrote a practise SAT essay on knowledge is power but can knowledge be a burden too? hahahh and so coincidentally u blogged on that leng lei! dont worry, i can totally see you bossing people around. but dont forget.. u gotta be bossed around for like 10 years first dude! have fun =D lol imagine u bein bossed around. kakkakaa!

Anyways i dont think i have the right aptitude for SAT, guys. been doing quite badly on the practise tests. hahha mebbeh not cut out for it. i feel like my IQ decreased!! like got dumber overall! US unis ain't looking for mediocrity. ah wells. my backup plan is to maybe do Masters there.. like get the best of both worlds?

so im off to continue my hopeless SAT prac test now. bombed the essay part adi so no semangat to continue xD good luck to u guys applying and all! eh leng lei.. i think u have no choice but to lie. well not LIE. but fabricate the truth hohoho. dont tell an honest lie.. tell a twisted truth! tell the truth in a DIFFERENT way haha. e.g. in stead of saying im doing accounting cause thre aint nothing else i can do. u say after carefully considering all my options, i have set my heart on studying accounting because .. etc etc! hohoho yesh itll work =D

and i shall hop on the blogging bandwagon as well.

earth says hello, chickin' pies,

i understand you donkey!! i wanted to do a Master in Philosophy, but you know those damn chinese parents. They give you THAT stare, and then ask me if i want to be rich. For me, i acknowledge the fact that knowledge equates power hoho. Those who are knowledgable rule over the ignorant :)

so yea... i've ditched Architecture. although everyone is saying i should go with it. but you know what? i don't think im cut out for it. I can draw sure, anybody can. but honestly, i feel that i lack creativity. i cant produce new ideas or express them. i find myself stuck with a blank piece of paper dying to find references.

so right now, im applying to do Accounting & Finance in UK.
i know it so doesnt suit me. omgshaddup. someone actually gave me the middle finger when i said this. BUT try and imagine me bossing people around in my CEO office?
nice sight rigght? haha. i hope i MIRACULOUSLY find accounting my true calling lol.

anyways. IM SO STUCK ON MY PERSONAL STATEMENT. the more i think about how it's gonna determine whether or not i get into univeristy, THE MORE TEMPTED I AM TO LIE. how am i suppose to convince people that accounting is my love, when i've never touched the subject? it's so full of shit man. pressure is growing now that my bro got into uni.

College life is still pretty relaxed for me, mainly because i never do my homework. So i go home wondering why i'm so free, only to find out the next day that i haven't done my homework. But it's all cool.. because the lecturers don't care!! i do feel guilty.. for a split second and i'm carefree all over again... and then there's bouldering. which i'm kinda addicted to. ALSO dota. omg. i've been playing so much of it that it is unhealthy!! Shet, i don wanna be a dota addicted!

ok. i have no more to say. how's that for long sara? relative to my previous posts of course.

Au revoir, egg tarts.

bah. It has been forever since my last post. Has it not? =p everybody seems to be posting bout college life and such. And I'll tell you. I have absolutely no mood to study right now. my trials started today. Maths and Thinking Skills. Yeah yeah I know what you're thinking. Who the hell needs to learn how to think?!?! Well fine.. it's a stupid subject but it's interesting sometimes. Though I wish our 'I'm-so-smart-but-actually-I-suck' Thinking Skills teacher would stop pretending like she's God and we're idiots or something. Sorry for the rant and for dissing her. I really really hope she ain't reading this.

And Unis. sigh. sigh, sighhhhhhhhh and a longer SIGH!! hahaha. Important decisions in life are so hard to make. I am so torn between the US and the UK it's not funny. =( I've finished with my UCAS application. All I need to do is pick the unis to go with. On the other hand the US education system seems so much more interesting. Shan't bore you with details here. =p

I'll be frank. I like studying. Not plain memorising like SPM style, but studying in general. I love knowledge. I like asking WHY to the max (in my brain) until there is no more why. Till the brink people say 'Why not?' and I want to know why people say 'why not'. I mean, there is a reason for that 'Why not' is there not? But then from a philosophical point of view.. I read this somewhere in our campus library.. a philosophy book btw =D If someone asks you.. 'Is the glass half empty or half full?'.

He says: Half empty.

You say: No, half full.

Well, in truth you're both just agreeing with each other because the answers will meet halfway through anyways. Just because the answer is different does not mean you disagree. Just because different people have different opinions on things does not mean anything is wrong or right. I don't even know if I make sense anymore or if I've just gone off-topic haha =P

Well, I guess I'm just confessing right now that I was hoping to go to uni to develop my intellectual more. Not just for the degree or qualification. I want to see things I've never seen before. Read things I've never imagined before. Do things I've never even heard of in my life. Things my parents would never want to hear about lest they get a heart attack. Life is so much more. And I feel stuck here. Like a bird in a cage. Unlike Jane Eyre though, I want to fly. She can let her passions be caged up all she likes and never get together with Rochester. I don't care. (sorry, Lit is on Friday)

Well, I'll end this with a quote. But I'm thinking what to put down. A romantic quote or a dark one. Gah I'll spare you the dark cynicism. =)

"If all perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."

Wuthering Heights.

Well actually, the main girl character Catherine said this. But I bet the guy would be thinking the very same thing. Because
1) They are in love and
2) Love in story books is always true love
3) There is no continuation of the book to find out whether one of them dumps each other in 'the end'.

It's so ironic and weird though. If the guy perishes, she would still be. Be what? I assume she would be because she is part of him as he part of her. Yet, she's downgrading herself. Get a hold of yourself woman!! He is more important than you?? So different from Jane Eyre who claims if Rochester(love of her life) dies, she would not die with him coz she intends to live a full life. So practical for a 'fairy-tale' novel.

Good night people! Off to study econs. Let's shift the learning curve outwards shall we?? Econs joke. Yeah.. I'm still as lame as ever. Take care ppl =)
