A new start. (I know, I hate cliches too.)

May 8th, 2013

I initially intended for this blog to be more like my diary. I never anticipated anyone would even bother reading it. (I mean, let's face it: my life is pretty unextraordinary. All I talk about these days is UNI in case you haven't realized by now.)

To be honest though I don't think I'm brave enough to let loose my deepest feelings onto the web space. Because it's going to be out there, exposed to the world, and just the mere thought of that makes me cringe!

Anyways, I don't want this blog to fail. Especially since I have noticed that it does get some viewership. Statistics tell me that my most viewed ones are usually the ones not about my life (shocker, I know!) but about useful information I occasionally share. For instance, I think wrote about Nottingham Malaysia and Monash Malaysia as well as a a guide to nose piercing. 

Also, I do have a passion for writing and I am inspired by this blog I came across a few weeks ago: mynameiselizabeth. (Google it if you're interested..I don't remember the web address). So, I have decided, this will be my last post about my boring life and from now on I shall post interesting articles. Or perhaps there still might be the odd article I write just for my own reflection. 

Let's see where this blog takes me! I do remain hopeful that ten years from now, I can look back and connect the dots. 

Will be back soon,
S.

Where have I been ?

January 11, 2013

So, I haven't blogged in a while. The last post being in November. That's basically because I was revising for my mocks. Even though I could have spared a few minutes to blog, I have this tendency to feel guilty when I'm doing anything but revising. In other words, lazing about during my "study breaks" is more acceptable to me than blogging. Wierd, I know. 

Here is the summary of the last two months:

My piano results finally came out. And yes, as I had predicted, I failed. Now I'm going to drop Piano for a while. Perhaps even for good. I mean I have A-Levels to focus on and then I'll be going off to Uni, so it makes sense to just quit altogether. I have achieved a Grade 6, and seeing as I'm not going to make a career out of music, I'm happy with that.

Next, since we went to the UK in October  and I have my mocks during the first week of January, so I have been revising like Cray Cray. Oh, and did I mention so also recieved my first offer from U of Exeter ? So happy! The offer was for 3As so that gave me motivation I needed.

What else ? Other than, I went back to school and did all my exams. Uhm, and Monday is off because of the "Bangkok Shutdown".

Also, I'm anticipating that I'll be removing my braces soon. So that's good. 

That's it for now.

Will be back soon,
S.
