Total Abandonment!

*sigh*

Ok how long has it been since my last post? *looks at the post below*
Like 5 months or so?? To be honest there was so much procrastinating on my behalf
regarding the postage on this blog. I had a big exam at the end of last year anyway (excuses) :P

Moving on! Today I had a sudden urge to finally open my blog
and I felt that I had so much things that I can write about.
So these are some of the stuff that happened for the past 5 months :-

Firstly I had my 2nd sem exams end of last year.
I had to take up to a whopping 11 papers!!! That's crazy wei!!
There was seriously so many things to study. A-levels is SO NOT EASY!!!
I felt good for most of it but not for the Unit 4 papers.
But what's done is done. huhu~~

So this week my results will be out on thursday.
Unlike my 1st sem results, these results will probaby be displayed somewhere in college.
Out in the open for everyone to see! Public Humiliation MUCH!!
Or maybe they will just give us the exam slips. (hopefully!!)

As some of you might know, I applied for UCAS which is for UK universities.
And I had replies from most of the uni!
I had a conditional offer from University of Manchester first.
Conditional offer being that I have to be able to get the required grades set by the uni first
before I can be given a place there. They asked for AAB grades.

Then I had another conditional offer from University College London(UCL)!!
I was so damn happy when I knew about this!
UCL is like one of the top uni. in the world and somemore its in London! Damn nice.
The condition was AAB which was quite ok.
On the same day I had another conditional offer from University of Birmingham
and they set a condition of BBB(this would totally be my insurance choice).

All of the previous offers are for Biotechnology course.
Then the most recent one was from Cardiff University.
But they offered me a Molecular Biology course since they replied to me earlier saying that
Biotechnology course wont be held for the coming intake. WTH!!
Nevertheless they asked for ABB grades.

So basically I had 4 conditional offers as of now.
And I'm still waiting for the reply from Imperial College London. This was my first choice.
Out of all the offers I can only choose 2 to reply to.
1 firm choice and 1 insurance choice.

Currently I'm trying to apply for any available scholarships related to my course.
It would seriously relieve some of the burden from my parents if I can get scholarship.

So I guess I've talked a bit too much this time around. haha!
Until the next post.
SEE YA!

Hi there!!

I finally finished reading The Biotech Century book!!
After like almost a week or so reading it whenever I have the time
like during lunch at college which I don't go to of course as I was fasting
and also at night which I ended up sleeping after a while as I read it on my bed. lol!!
All in all I find the book superbly written although there was some parts that don't really make sense to me
but there was a whole lot of facts that really intrigued me in the book.
One of it was like the endless possibilities that biotechnologies have
in reconstructing our very own nature and also of all the living organisms including us!
There were a lot of questions put forward by the writer which gave a chance
for the reader to ponder by themselves of what the answer should be to that question.
The book is well written in such a way that the pros and cons of the biotech century is not biased
nor does his own opinion biased towards any of the sides.
Everything is really up to the reader whether to see The Biotech Century in a good way,
the bad way or even both as all actions do have its consequences one way or the other.

Ok enough said on the book
Moving on to the things that are currently revolving in my life.
Something like only 2 days left of fasting which then will be Hari Raya Celebrations!!!!!
Seriously can't wait for raya with all those delicious foods, family gatherings
and of course DUIT RAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $_$
New baju melayu has been bought and this year I'm wearing purple.
Besides than that nothing much is done for raya preparation as usual
not like when I was small which we will be putting up pelita all around the house before raya
and play with firecrackers. Those times were precious. Good memories :)

Other than that, there will be a Chemistry test after raya
and by the way we only have 2 days of holidays as raya falls on sunday this year
so next week on thursday I'll be having the test and I need to study!!!!
Whatever it is I am so not studying during raya.
Though I hope I can for the sake of acing the test.huhu..

That is all for now. Bye!
