Trinity Grade 7!

26th November, 2013

I just took my Trinity Grade 7 today! And boy, I am so going to fail. Like I messed up my pieces so bad! I am sure I could have done better because exam pressure always gets the best of me..

I know I always freak out after any exam I take but always end up with a decent mark. This time though, I am sure I did horribly. The best case scenario is that I will get a low pass. But then again, let's be optimistic and say that I have a fair chance at passing because for the other grades I've always got Merits.

Urgh. As you can see...this waiting period of not knowing annoys the hell out of me.  I will know my results in like a week or so.

 But you know wat, assuming I do fail, it is not the end of the world. I haven't been dedicating much time to piano anyways because I have my A Levels to study for as well. It's not like I'm taking music seriously anyways.

I think I should just stop talking/ typing / thinking about piano. I'll just sit outside here at the gazebo (long story...I don't have the house keys and have to wait for my dad to get home). 

Will be back soon,

The UK, school, exam, uni stuff....BLAH

8th November, 2013 

Yes, I know last time I said I will post an update on Cardiff and ironic enough, this time I am saying I will post an update on my recent trip to the UK ! (I know right ?! I can't believe it actually happened) 

Anyways, there has been ALOT going on right now in terms of school and university. Again, ironic enough this has been the focus of my last post as well. 

But here is the update: 

Nottingham Malaysia is my backup- which is totally fine because it is a more than alright place. The applications haven't opened yet but I will apply as soon as they open.

As for the UK, I am applying to,

1. LSE

2. York (Top choice)

3. Durham

4. Warwick

5. Not sure yet (possibly Exeter)

I need to work my butt off to get all As now because I really want to get the 30% tuition fees reduction at York. 

My mocks are coming up. I have to do like amazing in that. As for personal statement, it's pretty much done and dusted but on Friday Novemeber 15th, I am going to a workshop organized by BritEdu to get it reviewed. Don't know how useful that is going to be but hey there is no harm right ?

I am now currently at the dentist. My appointment has been pending for a while now. But, never the less, I am here. I really hope I get to take my braces out soon though because I am beginning to get really sick of them.

Oh and my piano Grade 7 exams are coming up as well on 26th Novemeber. If I manage to get a good pass, I am going to be so proud of myself because I honesty did not put in the work ! No, but on a serious note from next week onwards I am going to go to piano every day. 

Apart from that, well there is a fair at Mueng Thong Thani where my mum is exhibiting her bedsheets. It is going pretty well and I am confident it can do even better as it has potential. 

Oh well. And there is me. Still waiting for the stupid denist appointment. Anyways, do watch out for my post on my UK trip and Cardiff thingi.

Will be back soon,
