Mandarin Oriental  

Posted by -NAZ-

Yesterday I went to the Mandarin Oriental hotel which is just beside the KLCC
as there was a Top London University exhibition. There was only four universities
which includes Imperial College London, UCL, King's College and LSE.

When I first went in the hotel I was so mesmerized by the grandeur place that it is.
I think its the most luxurious hotel that I have been in before. It was so high class
that I even felt like I was not dressed properly for the occasion nor the place :P

Since I applied for both Imperial and UCL I thought I could enquire more regarding
my offer or even my course. It turns out the representatives are only there to answer
questions regarding the general prospect of the university. So basically the
exhibition is somehow pointless for me since I have already
known quite a lot about the universities.

I was at the exhibition for about half an hour or so only and then we went to another
exhibition which showcases the condominiums and apartments that are
recently built in London. Spent a long time there and I was damn bored.

p/s : Finally decided to retake 4 papers which totals up to 12 papers that I'm
going to take for the upcoming exam

Indecisive  

Posted by -NAZ-

A few days back, results were out and even before that I've registered
the papers I'm planning to take during the upcoming exams in May.
So now I have to decide which papers among the ones I registered that I'm going to drop.
In other words which papers am I going to be taking in the exam. (Am I confusing you guys?)

The papers that should be taken in this final semester totals up to 8 papers that is :-

2 Maths papers
2 Biology papers
2 Chemistry papers
2 Physics papers

So currently I am still thinking and deciding which papers to retake.
At first I intended to retake 3 papers which I previously gotten a B in.
Then I felt like it was too much and thought 2 papers should be enough.
But when I had a chance to look at the proposed timetable for the upcoming exam,
it seemed reasonable to retake up to 4 papers since the timing between the
papers are quite evenly spread. Now as I am typing this post, retaking 4 papers
which would total up the amount of papers I am taking to 12 papers is just
overly ambitious!

Am I biting off more than I can chew?

Seriously can't decide and I confronted my parents and they just said
as long as I can cope with it, it would be fine. I need to do some serious thinking now.
Never mind, I'll be seeing my lecturers this Monday anyway and see what they think of it.

You Get What You Deserve  

Posted by -NAZ-

The title to this post tells you a lot actually.
Personally I seriously do feel that what you get is only what you deserve.
It can either be in your studies as a student or even in one's career.

As you guys might know based on my previous posts that today my 2nd sem results came out.
I took 11 papers and out of that I got..... *drum rolls* :P

8A's , 2B's ,1C

I am equally satisfied with my results although I know I could do much better.
But its done and it actually turned out as I expected except for the B in Bio Unit 4
which was really sad as I thought I did well in it (overconfident??).
The other B is from C3 Maths and the marks is like 79/100. 1 more mark to A. WTF!!
Getting a C in Physics Unit 4 is very much expected as the paper was freaking hard!
Never mind, I'll be resitting the paper and I hope I can get a higher mark.
Another unexpected result was from Chemistry Unit 4 as I thought I messed up the paper,
but turns out I got an A! WOopdeeDOo!

I'm grateful at how my results turned out to be because I really put a lot of effort
in it and I studied like crazy for all the papers.

So yeah I do feel this is what I deserved to get and I will accept it with open arms
and just do what I need to do in order to excel in the future.
No point in crying over spilled milk anyway right?

Sweaty Experiment?!?!  

Posted by -NAZ-

Today was like any other day as a college student except for the fact that
we had a bit different biology experiment. Usually we would
just have to do an experiment within the lab itself but today we were
everywhere but the lab. Most of us were at the staircases. We were timing,
panting, sweating! And doing a whole lot of repetition. Guess what?
We had to do an exercise experiment today! YAY! *sarcasm*
Basically its because we had to measure our pulse and breathing rate
which lead us to the exercise. It was just a normal exercise actually
but it was so damn uncomfortable as we're not dressed accordingly for it.
Adding to the fact that at the staircase it was poorly ventilated and with all
this hot spells going on now and what not, it just made it worse.
(OK I'm just complaining here & making a big deal out of it, but just bear with me! :P)
So we completed the experiment drenched with sweat! *exaggerating*
But it wasn't all that bad. Thank god for airconds!! XD

p/s: 2 days until my 2nd sem exam results will be out (same day as SPM results)

- I feel so blissful right now -

Total Abandonment!  

Posted by -NAZ-

*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!

My Results....  

Posted by -NAZ-

Yesterday my 1st semester A-levels results went out!!!!
I was damn scared and anxious to say the least.
So according to my college, they said that the results will be out on the 20th after 7 am.
But it didn't went out after 7 am at all when I checked the website for my results.
I could just continue sleeping but instead I stayed on refreshing the page once in a while.
Some of my friends even woke up early yesterday just like me as I can see them online in msn.
So after many failed attempts on refreshing the page I checked my e-mail
for the message they sent to me after you've registered at the website.
And guess what?? It said there that the results will be out at 6am GMT which is 1pm in Malaysia!
Damn it!!! I practically wasted my time in front of the computer like an idiot waiting for the results to pop up.
Then when it was 1 pm I refreshed the page again and the results appeared
and seriously I don't even dare to see it. DAMN SCARED!!
So slowly I watched my results from top to bottom.
Quite relieved at first and then a bit disapointed.
I'm sooo greatful on how my maths and bio results turned out. Especially BIO!!! haha.
But then again at the same time a bit disapointed at my chem and physics results.
I know that I can do better than that in those 2 subjects but whats done is done.
Nothing else that I can do other than to accept the fact and move on!!
So my feeling towards my results is that I'm happy and yet I'm sad (how is that even possible??)
~~~Mixed Emotions~~~

NOTE TO SELF : Study my ass off this sem and get way better results!!!!

p/s : Tomorrow will be the start of the month of Ramadhan which means I will fast for the whole month!! Yay!! LOL!! =P

Freaking OUT!!!  

Posted by -NAZ-

Why am I freaking out you ask?
Well its just that in 3 more days my 1st sem A-levels results will be out!!!
AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I'm not even sure what to expect of my results.
The thing is when you do a-levels exams you won't really know whether you did good or not.
Mostly because of the ridiculous time constraints for each test taken.
Unless your like a damn genius or something.
But normal students like me will usually have mixed emotions after the exams are over.
Not really sure whether you aced it or not.
Just the feeling of relieved that most questions are answered and just hope for the best.
To add to that anxiety over the outcome of the results,
I really need to score this exam as it will definitely affect my UCAS application.
The reason being that the results of my first sem a-levels will be used as a reference
in change for a conditional offer from the universities that I chose. A total of 5 of them.
Besides than the personal statement and reference letter from the college,
my 1st sem results play a huge role in getting me a conditional offer.
Especially from Imperial College London which is the highest ranking university amongst the five that I chose.
Being the highest ranking university, I need to be freaking brilliant to get in.
To do that I need good results!!! God I'm so desperate!!! haha.
Guess that's all for now. =)

IELTS Test  

Posted by -NAZ-


Hey!!!!
Last Saturday I just had my IELTS test which is like an english proficiency test
that is compulsory to be taken if you plan to study overseas.
So as usual I started preparing for the test a bit late although I was totally aware
that I have to take the exam like 3 weeks before.
But what do you expect as the test was during my holidays!
Time flies sooooo damn fast.
So basically the test consist of 4 parts that is
Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
The Listening part was not that bad I guess, same goes for the Writing part as well.
But I really don't like the reading part as the passage was not as easy as I thought.
Especially when it is talking about transportation all around the world
with all the statistics and figures, really gave me a headache.
I completed the first 3 parts in the morning.
Then I had my speaking test in the evening somewhere in KL.
I was quite scared at first actually as it was like an interview
with all of the random questions being asked.
There was also an impromptu session during the speaking test.
But thank God it wasn't that hard as the questions were quite easy and way general.
And also the lady that interviewed me was so friendly.
So I just talked as much as I can and just hope for the best.
I will know my results 13 days after the exam so it will be on 10th of July
I guess that's all for now. BYE!
