That’s what this weekend’s like - finally. I’m happy it is a (almost) work-free, study-free, stress-free weekend. It feels soo good. The tests were, alright. I had 4-5 hours of sleep ‘night’ly. I think I’ve quite replenished a bit of my ‘missing’ sleep this weekend. Chemistry wasn’t too good. Specialist Maths (it feels quite long ago since I had it but truth is it was only Monday): killer! High chance of failing since I didn’t complete 3 7-8 marks questions. Oh well, next week: English Common Test (CT), Specialist Maths Class Test and Maths Studies CT on the SAME day. But yes, it’s okay. I’m clearly not stressed about them (yet).
Oh, I didn’t go to college Tuesday, and Monday after my CT. I had conjunctivitis and so the doctor informed me that I am not allowed to attend classes. It’s red eyes by the way, if you didn’t know because I realized a lot of people had no idea what it was. And, my runny nose and throat and all was as bad. So, stronger antibiotics. I was happy that I didn’t get any cough mixtures because I absolutely hate cough mixtures. Ugh~ So, I stayed in my aunt’s house from Monday till Tuesday. I missed a bomb threat in INTI college (next to Taylor’s). Apparently, the police and fire brigade were there and people were evacuated. Then on Thursday, there was an earthquake right? My roommate who goes to the Taylor’s Business School - a multi-storey building - felt the shake and the whole building was evacuated too. Such “excitement”. Oh and on Friday, I went with a couple of my classmates to play foosball in the ECA Centre. I’ve never played before so I was like saying, I’m sure to score own goals - and I really did. - -” But it was fun. It would’ve been worse playing the striker side.
So yes, that’s all I’m going to update for now. My aunt and uncle’s going to here anytime soon to send me back to hostel.

Aren’t they just fun? When I mean fun I mean being swamped with loads of crazy homework? Let’s see what I have to do before Monday’s classes shall we?
- Physics project proposal - I’m going to do something on cosmology, which if you didn’t know (like I didn’t) is about the universe: the creation of it, the planets etc., something like that. I’ve been reading or more like staring at the book for hours - it’s just filled with alien language! But yes this is due tomorrow because I have to ask my aunt to print it since, of all days, Physics happens to be the very first period.
- English annotated bibliography - Never seen those words before? Basically, for research, we use sources like books, websites right? So for this assignment, I’m supposed to get 4 sources and do a proper reference - yes, there are different styles of referencing. We were given examples on how to but the problem is, they weren’t all like “constant” (can’t find the word). Even online, sites gave different versions of the Harvard style. So, I wasted my time looking at all these sites. Don’t ask me why, because now I know I could have done my homework and slept earlier last night instead of at 3 am. Right, back to topic. I also have to read through the sources and summarize and give a critique. Also need to finish it at least before lunchtime tomorrow because English is the second period and so likewise, require my aunt’s printer.
- Specialist Mathematics Common Test - I need to do practice tests because trigo. prelim. is NOT easy. There’s one whole bunch of formulas and then, there’s applying them. And they all can be confusing considering they basically involve cos, sin and tan. Oh and also, we’ve been on this topic since college started where as other subjects, we’re already at topic 3 or so. What does that mean…
- Homework - Some leftovers from the CNY break and also I think, there’s new ones. Like, for physics (man, not again), have to do the report for the practical. What exactly I have to do is to type out everything that’s on the 4 page practical sheet given and then fill up the data, answer the questions, write a so-called “discussion” and draw graphs by hand. Not due Monday so that can wait.
That’s what I have to do. Oh look only 4 items, so easy! .. NOT, but I wished. Oh oh, I also have two more tests next week on Thursday and Friday. All these tests coming up contribute about 5% to my final results.
I haven’t and won’t be updating often because all these work I have. Really, the weekends are never like the weekends anymore…
BUT, there is the mid-semester break to look forward too! 3 more weeks peeps! *hint to friends in Brunei*
