i'm annoyed-sorry~~

I felt like a thousand-tonnes of burden just lifted from my shoulder.
We've done our documentary and as well as the presentation.
Besides, Economics assignment was also submitted and we already did the presentation this week. There's also no upcoming test within these two weeks.

But needless to say, after one assignment was over, then came another assignments.
This week we got TWO assignments.
PHYSICS and APPLICABLE MATHS.
We were given approximately three to four weeks time to finish up the assignment this time around. So, I think we have much more time to complete the work and also to ensure that we'll do the assignment appropriately.


Plus, we were also being informed that next week, we'll be having the impromptu speech. GOD!!! Another speech presentation.!! Honestly, I'm a bit sick of presentation. I know it is wrong to make such statement especially when you're already studying in a college and university. But I can't help myself. Mr Derick said that we need to read more and more to gain more general knowledge, to prepare ourselves for the speech and as well as the examination soon. Again, the issue of lack of reading rises. As for me, I must admit that recently, I've become easily bored and sometimes I don't enjoy reading as much as I did before. Maybe because now we are forced and asked to read and read and read!! we are forced to and we have no choice!!
I enjoy reading when I have the desire and intention to read and yeah for the purpose of gaining more knowledge. However now, I feel like I need to read for the sake of EALD marks. It's pathetic and ridiculous. And it really annoys me. Reading is my hobby but somehow I don't feel the joy much now and I don't know why is that. Maybe because I'm stress now and my brain is not functioning well. All I can think of now is only sleeping and shopping. Sorry.

it's holiday baby

ITALY



Travelling is one thing that I enjoy the most. Besides having the opportunity to see different culture and enjoy beautiful and breath-taking sceneries, we also get to release our stress and have some relaxation. Whether the travelling destination is in the country or outside, the experiences gained are almost the same. The joy we feel and the time we spent travelling is worthwhile. In my view, I find that travelling is also some kind of a therapy for ourselves.



Anyway, since we are all stress up here, studying, I feel like I really need a holiday. A vacation. And this is not just a typical weekend holiday. I mean a serious long-journey destination where I can get away from all these studying-time, and assignments and tests. I seriously need a break.



So, it came up to my mind that I would suggest to my parent to go for a holiday, but, it was very frustrating because when I checked my calendar, I couldn't find any available weeks for the so-great-idea-of-holiday. The AUSMAT time table is all packed with tests and assignments. Our time for long break is only in the middle of June, which is 2 months away. So this means, I need to wait for another two more months for the holiday.



And to make the whole situation more dramatic, I called one of my close friend the other day and of course had all these 'girls-talk' thing. We were both in same situation, busy studying and are stressed. Then I told her that I wish I could go somewhere far to release my tension and rejuvenate myself ( a holiday ). And guess what?? Here comes the most 'interesting' news for me. She said that she was really looking forward to the upcoming week because she already planned a vacation. And the destination is a place of every lover's dream...ITALY!! I.T.A.L.Y

And also, she's going there with her boyfriend too! What can I say?... Have fun yeah!



As for me, hopefully, one day I can go there too. Maybe for honeymoon..haha (it's okay to dream it right)
After all, it's not the destination of a holiday that matters, but it's the fun and joy we have that counts. :D

figurative language

friday morning
I was awakened by the singing sound of the rain.
I opened my eyes though they refused to.
Outside, the grey cloud was crying.
Sadness rushed over me.
The rain washed away dirt sticking on the face of the earth, I thought.
I walked through the silent street.
Alone.
I thought maybe I could feel the sadness of the cloud.
Rivulets of rain ran down my face.
I cried.
Feeling of emptiness emerged from the gloom and darkness.
The silence was broken by the whispering of the running wind.
p/s: sorry Mr Derick, I'm not that creative in writing. But I did tried :D

sick and speech

Fever, headache

and short-term memory lost??


I felt very terrible this week due to the bad condition of my health. The fever has really made my life miserable. Firstly, because whenever I fall sick, the whole 'system' will break down. And I'm pretty sure this also happen to everyone who fall sick.


Whenever I fall sick, one thing that affect me the most is my memory. I tend to forget things faster than any other time. I can't even remember the simplest thing like my student ID.

SHORT-TERM memory lost! And as it so happened, this week we're asked to present the oral review for the documentary. Well, I did some research on the Internet and also watched Bowling for Columbine several times to prepare for the speech presentation. Unfortunately, on the night before the day for the presentation, I fell sick. And guess what happened?

I forgot almost all points for my speech. So, then, to fix the problem, on the day itself, I went to college early in the morning to memorise all my points again and practise my speech.



Sadly, during the presentation, I was quite blurr and everything was in mess!!
Even my pace was slow. When Mr Derick showed sign that time was up, I felt like crying because I have not stated my strongest point of view. My speech was not convincing enough since I did not get to point out my strongest point. I never experienced such a worst presentation! I must said it was the worst speech presentation in my whole life! I'm pretty sure I did not get high marks for this presentation but, of course, the past is past and I cannot do anything to change it. Let's just hope that for any presentation that we'll be going to do soon, I will be in a very good state of health so that I won't forget my speech.




Another thing that I realised now is my state of health. Since I fall sick this week, I only realized that I did not take good care of my health and I'm putting my health at risk now.
With excessive intake of caffeine and lack of nutrients, I think my balanced diet is no more in balance. Besides, I have not jogged in a long time. I've been really busy lately and my time was not really well-organized.
