Sept 29th at random

Posted in: 2009 posts | About Blogging | at random | Courses | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Twitter | University | University: Year 1

Lately, things aren’t going the way I wanted it to be. *sigh*

It’s an “at random” post again – it’s where I cram everything in 1 post. Even mundane, crappy things. Hah.

===

During “English for Research Purposes” class last night, we were briefed on our (compulsory) individual presentation (to be held in mid-October). I know that I will feel nervous every time things like this are going to happen. But I’m looking forward to this one. I chose the topic myself and it’s one of the things that made me fascinated with Maths. Swindling. Lol. No. I’m not going to swindle other people.  It’s a 3-5 min presentation only so I can’t say much actually. My topic involves swindlers and probability (1/2).

I’m so glad that my secondary school ‘insisted’ on having presentations in class. Sure, they’re bothersome at that time, but it really helps when you’ve entered university. Provided that you had created powerpoint slides (I always took this job b’cos I wanted to avoid being the presenter) and presented your topic to make people understand [NOT reading]. Thank you, SM〇〇. Oh, yeah. I got over my shyness to present while I was in Form 6.  Pengajian Am (General Studies). It was supposed to be someone else but she’s absent and I had to take over the presenter role.

===

My tweets reached 1000 on Sept 20th! I’m so proud of the time I’d wasted for tweeting. ^_^

===

Books are my official weakness. Give me money, I’ll spend most of it on books. But I’m not a bookworm. I’m not, really. I buy books (impulsively) I think I’m going to read or just books I think I would like to read. Sometimes I buy books with the same title but different covers because one is not enough – this is true for my favourite ones like Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and Jones’ “Charmed Life”. It’s burning a hole in my pocket (I just knew YamaPi’s going to have a second single coming out in November.. Books? YamaPi’s Single? Books?)

===

Recently, I joined NaBloPoMo. I like the idea of blogging everyday. Not that I have deep thoughts everyday to be blogged about… but I realised this blog had become more diary to me than the abandoned-for-months-already physical diary in my room. I’m sure I can talk about something (at least one) everyday. November’s a no-no because it’s my “Final Exam” month. Maybe October.. or December. Let me think first.

Change Me.

Title inspired by Demi Lovato’s “Catch Me”. It’s a really nice song. You should listen to it!

 Many things had happened since my last post. Mostly mundane things. Haha. Somehow, I don’t want to admit that I’m busy ‘cos that’s the most lame excuse one can give when they didn’t update their blog.

Anyway. I had mid-terms exams for some of my courses… and mostly I didn’t feel good about it. *sigh*

 I have yet to defeat Procrastination. Huh. Lately, I’ve been feeling that Time is taking revenge on me. I didn’t use it wisely, and now it seems like everything is falling on me… “Are you done with this assignment?”, “Have you send the draft to the lecturer yet?” Bla bla bla. Of course, it’s nothing worse like my Ethics ex-group.

I can’t keep doing this. Need to do something. Fast.

Is it too late to figure out what kind of student I am, my best way of studying, & balancing time between work and play etc..? In the past, I would be afraid to know the answer. Following what works for others didn’t work for me in form 4/5 (it backfired too). I like to learn things. If possible, I want to know at least a bit of every knowledge in this world. But because of my interest in everything, I can get easily distracted. Being organized doesn’t seem to agree with me. Or maybe I am the one who refuse to be organized. Awww… See. I don’t know how to manage my studying self.

Before, in Form 6, I always study (or revise) whenever I have time. That means the time available between classes (where teachers come and go), but in the end… I feel that I didn’t accomplish anything at all. What’s worst was it’s sending wrong messages to other people. People (may) had thought I looked hardworking and diligent but actually I wasn’t. During those time, I always feel tired… & looking at Biology notes or Maths formulae just made it worst. Like it or not, I study according to my moods. *sigh*

When I pay attention and focus to something I’m studying, I think it’s not because I’m hardworking – it’s because I’m obsessed to know things. I like to have fun with the facts, formulae (or anything!)… or make fun of it (bad!) ‘cos I can understand and remember them better that way!

I’m afraid it’s too weird compared to other people’s way of studying. I have to think of a way (or ways)  to manipulate my bad habits to my advantage. I know it can be done. I just need to figure them out and… always go with my curiosity side (or whatever that is). Let’s see what will happen then.

Oh, yeah. My early plan to look stupid isn’t working well. Foolish, I know. I just want to see how it will turn out. It’s fine for a while until the “Ethics” group incident. I wasn’t like my usual self. I hate, hate, & hate(!!) certain people in the group and I wasn’t afraid to show it to them. I couldn’t stand working with them… those low-class minded creatures. (woo.. blue=evil-me)

I know they’re chasing the As’… Funny how I ended resenting people like this now (considering I was like that or almost in secondary school). Kiasu. As expected from their kinds. But with their level, I don’t think they should even think of dreaming high. They think they are ‘the best’ already and doesn’t need to change their way of thinking and attitude. Despicable.

Oh, yes. They can make you crazy or stupid like them. In short, it's degrading for your mind to be with them. Avoid at any costs.

All these arrogant remarks won’t do me good.. but for now, I just want to let this out.

bday1 bday2

--------------< After this line : drafted yesterday… so I sounded a bit erm..forlorn. >
Happy birthday to me?

Haha. I don’t sound very excited about this, do I ?
*sigh*
It happened like after 3 weeks of agony – the silent tension between my ex-group members and me and the fact that they are ignoring me now… (Erm. Let’s not get there 1st.) - *BIG sigh*.. yeah. I don’t feel like being excited…
Anyway. I do admire the date.. haha. I mean it’s the 1st day of Sept! It’s such a beautiful date, don’t you think? Easy to remember though there’s not much events (at least those I’m familiar with) on this day.
Okay… like last year, I’m putting a chronology of my blog. An update, to be exact. (Last year’s is here.)
