♥ Life Is Good ♥

i have been thinking lately..
you know, people say Form 4 is the honeymoon year?
i guess whoever these people are..
they are SO WRONG!

Form 4 is the time where we should have decided
about our future.. like what we want to become..
cos the subjects we take will determine our next move..

i can say the safest choice is to take Pure Science stream
with additional Arts subjects.. why?
cos your choices remain very much open!
you can choose between Science or Arts stream in college..
if we take Arts subject in high school,
we can't pursue Medical or Engineering line in the future..
correct me if i am wrong, ok?

and before enrolling to colleges..
we must already know what we want!
do check out the undergraduate course requirements..
like what kind of qualifications needed and so on..
we have to be wise (unless your daddy is rich)
or else money will be spent unnecessarily!

and this is where MY mistake is.. =(

since daddy didn't allow me to take Accountancy..
i took A Levels, thinking it would lead me some where..
hey, everyone said A Levels is accepted in most universities..
but no one said a thing about the subject combinations!
even Mrs. Mary Ng did not give me the wisest advice.. sigh..

so i became a smart ass..
thinking 3 subjects - the minimum subjects that can be taken
is more than enough.. just in case i can't cope up with 4!
i happily took Biology, Chemistry and Maths for a year..

i always wanted to study overseas, you know..
and most of the time our definition of overseas meant
"The White Men's World", am i right?
but overseas include "Asian People's World" too!

Dentistry does not have a twinning programme here..
unlike Medicine or Pharmacy.. and that's a way sad news..
cos 5 years overseas will cost a BOMB!
so i checked out Asian countries' dental schools..
and guess what? they want PHYSICS too..

i just got lecture on why i should have took Physics..
Physics.. Physics.. Physics.. WHY PHYSICS?
is there such thing as express class for Physics only?
cos i might consider taking it if they do..

so, to those who yet to decide what you want..
as in those entering Form 4 and college especially..
PLEASE DECIDE WISELY NOWWW!!!

and DO NOT make the same mistake as i did!
i am super duper depressed now.. =(((((

so sorry but thank you for reading my whining post!

i have finally watched The Devil..
one word to describe it - AMAZING!!

compared to other Korean series i have watched,
this story has a unique plot..
at the end of every episode made me curious..
so i have the urge to continue watching! XD

the cast did a great job too..
the main characters in this series are..
Joo Ji Hoon as lawyer Oh Seung Ha,
Uhm Tae Woong as detective Kang Oh Soo,
Shin Min Ah as librarian with psychometry powers.

The Devil a.k.a Mawang in Korean.. must watch!

Joo Ji Hoon got thinner plus new haircut.. *drools*

he's so fatherly in this adopt-orphans-in-Korea picture

Coffee Prince.. not bad!

Yoon Eun-Hye still looking good with short hair

the lovable pair in Princess Hours a.k.a Goong

i went for facial treatment few hours ago..
probably my Christmas gift from mummy? lol..

guess which part of the process hurt most?
pinching and pressing with high pressure on my face!
the rest was syokness.. even got shoulder massage! =)

and you know what the girl there said to me?
*to be read in cantonese*
"lei ge gong tong wah mm wui hou cha ah..
ngo meng bak lei gong ge ye"
hehe.. means my cantonese still can be saved!!

my entire face is filled with red polka dots now..
so i guess i won't be in any pictures this Christmas..
anyway, finally finished wrapping Christmas presents!
i am not a Christian but we so-called celebrate Christmas..
we exchange gifts among ourselves in the name of fun! XD

i wrapped these! except for the gold coloured ones..=P

if only Malaysia would snow like this during Christmas..

Christmas girls.. cute hor?

i am finally back home!!
was at FIRE-UP LEARNING camp for few days..=)
it was held at Genting Permai Resort..
nice cold weather.. hehe

this camp is basically about teaching us
how to make learning FAST, EASY and FUN..
creatively and i mean serious fun!
and the speakers were Mr Jeya and Mr UV Wong!

we spent long hours sitting in a room during this camp..
but we had frequent tea breaks.. like 6 meals a day!
unfortunately the food wasn't yummy.. just edible..

group picture.. terrible photography skills! hehe

we started bonding quite well during the first day..
we stayed in 2 separate apartments..
one for gals and the other for guys..
7 people sharing a toilet! =P

i am not sure what happened in the guys' apartment..
but on the first night, in our apartment..
we all shared real life experiences till 3 in the morning!!
it was really interesting..
especially the idea of telling stories to strangers..
you'll feel comfortable and don't have to worry..
to them, people in the story are just some random people!
cos friends may backstab you when we are no longer close..

we even spied on the people from the opposite block..
they were so hyper and laughing like mad even at 1am!!
they were like rolling on the floor half naked..
i don't want to know what they were doing..
especially when there are guys and gals in there.. aikss!

the next day, we learned more techniques..
we had tally match too.. gals vs guys!
played 4 games altogether..
the giant slippers, passing of the hoola hoop,
throwing of dice then jump and the magic carpet..
after that guys played futsal in the tennis court..
while the gals went for swimming!

after supper, we were still hungry..
so we walked to the convenience store to buy more food..
but it was closed.. so we decided to walk to Gohtong Jaya..
2km uphill and then 2km downhill in 2 hours..
a lot of calories burnt! haha..

on the third day, learning went on..
and we had barbecue at night after dinner..
the only food available to be barbecued was honey chicken..
quite nice compared to what we have been eating! =)
Mr Jeya and Mr UV then showed us a few tricks..
but we managed to figure out how they did it!
there's no such thing as magic, only illusion.. hehe

the speakers with the girls

the speakers with the guys

on the final day, we were all restless..
the 1st person in my apartment woke up at 7.30am..
and the last was at 8.30am, so just imagine how long
we took to get ready! breakfast is served at 8am btw..
and the worst part is, we had to shower with cold water!

up next would be pictures of teams plus our masterpieces..
and it's the mind map of what we have learned in 4 days!

team 1: Devan, Shyang, Vinod, Jack, Danusha

team 1's mind map

team 2: Keerath, Yean, Wai Yi, Harsimrath, Yen Ling

my team's mind map

team 3: Garvinesh, Nicole, Tagen, Davinia, Melvin

team 3's mind map

team 1 was the leading team..
while Harsimrath had the most stickers among all!
but each of us receive a pressie cos we were all winners..=)

IF WE THINK WE CAN, WE CAN!!! =)

ok, this is my 50th post here! ^^

so guess where i went yesterday?
MINES WONDERLAND!!!
mummy had 12 free tickets from don't-know-where..
that's why.. or else i wouldn't even be there!
went there with my family and cousins' family..=)

Mines Wonderland is actually a night theme park..
it usually opens from 5pm - 11pm..
but since yesterday was Family Day..
they opened at 3pm.. good for family bonding huh?

but we reached there around 5pm..
thank god it was good whether at that time..
quite cooling and not even a single drop of rain! haha..
*it has been raining heavily for the past few days!*

our first ride upon entering the theme park was..
the Unity Train that goes round the park..
and it was freaking slow!
i think i can walk faster than it.. seriously..
at that time, i really wondered why i am even there?
didn't take and picture of it though..
cos i was busy wiping my bag with tissue papers..
my Tolberone chocolate melted in there..
such a waste of chocolates! =(

next it was the White Kingdom..
something like a zoo.. and it was depressing..
why? cos the animals totally ignore you..
no matter what funny noises you do.. *sweatness*

this whatever-animal is scratching its body!

the babysitter-of-the-day and his nephew..

i finally watched Enchanted last night..
it's just a typical fairytale that takes place in the real world..
it is fine for the gals.. but definitely not a guy thing!
cos my brothers and cousin said that it's boring..
oh, and i saw MYfm deejay, Phoebe while buying popcorn!
thanks to Shannon.. haha.. but i don't like her song la..
