Exams are over..
At last no more people nagging me to go sleep or study.. You know who you are.. =)
But I know you guys meant it for my own good..
Today is Good Friday.. The day the Lord died so we could live.
The lyrics of the song by Martyn Layzell is so so true..
Lost In Wonder
You chose the cross with every breath,
The perfect life, the perfect death,
You chose the cross.
A crown of thorns You wore for us,
And crowned us with eternal life,
You chose the cross.
And though Your soul was overwhelmed with pain,
Obedient to death You overcame.
I'm lost in wonder,
I'm lost in love,
I'm lost in praise forevermore.
Because of Jesus' unfailing love
I am forgiven, I am restored.
You loosed the cords of sinfulness
And broke the chains of my disgrace:
You chose the cross.
Up from the grave victorious,
You rose again so glorious:
You chose the cross.
The sorrow that surrounded You was mine,
'Yet not My will but Yours be done!' You cried.
Touching it is..

SPM Results Out!!!
Today, SPM and STPM results are out...
Some did really well and sulk at their results and some did not so well but was overjoyed with it.. What's wrong with them (the former) lar?? Well, I'm in no position to say anything because I did the same thing when I took mine couple of years back (makes me sound so old). Some of you guys know, some don't but I cried when I saw that horrible piece of paper with small, tiny wordings on it.. But then now I look back and I couldn't really understand why I had to be sad about the results. After all, it's over and done with. No matter how much tears I shed, until become river also nothing will change. Secondly, my results weren't THAT bad. Wasn't what I expected, maybe because I had too high expectations. But I knew I deserved the results. I was lazy..
After that, it'll just be another piece of paper. No one's gonna ask you how many A's you got in SPM after you entered college. No one cares anymore if you only had 1A or 12A's. It'll probably only get you a JPA scholarship to go study agriculture in some remote country you can't even pronounce which you will then reject because you don't want to be a farmer and then go pay thousands of dollars to study something else.
That's the state of education these days in Malaysia. Some get straight A's and ended up getting scholarships to study agriculture and some get around 5A's and they get scholarships to study medicine in England. But what can we do? Nothing.. No wonder more people die from sickness these days..
Anyway, congratulations to those who did well but still sulk and those who are happy with theirs.

What's Your Problem?
A few of us went for the SAC Social Gathering last night. It was supposed to start at 6.30pm but it only started at nearly 8pm. Normal lah, Malaysians ma.. They had performances and lucky draws and food. The food was okay nia considering the fact that it's free. I stayed till around 10pm and I cabut la.. It was quite a good event and I did enjoy myself. I'm not really a huge fan of events like these but it was quite good, better than some others I've been to.
Rewinding...
Before that, we had around 2 hours plus of extra time (not idle time). So, we decided to go to the library (bunch of kiasu nerds :p). Here, a whole new drama started. We met some other classmates but whom we weren't really close to. They only had a few classes with us as they were from another group. But even so, it did not deter K (Some of you may know who she is, some don't. Just to protect her already tainted reputation, I'm going to just refer to her as 'K') to go watch movies with them. She went with this girl (I'm just gonna call her 'Z' can?) and some of her friends (none of us really know them).
Situation 1
In the library, where it is so silent you can hear a pin drop, stands K, under a sign which says "No mobile phones".(Too bad I don't have a picture to prove)
*already in the middle of a conversation on the phone*
K: Eh, you come and fetch me go out la.. We go makan.. Then you fetch me back to college lar.. (in chinese) (and really loudly)
The WHOLE group of students there (mostly classmates) : SSHHH!!!!
K: *continues talking ever so loudly*
The WHOLE group: SSSHHHHH!!! Eh, this is library la!!!
Situation 2
She meets 'Z' and starts talking...
Z: Eh, your name is Carmen right?
K: YOUR head la.. (so rude.. too much.. *shakes head*)
Z: Then? What's your name?
K: *says her name*
Z: Whatever la.. I don't know your name but I know your name have something to do with car(s) wan la.. Eh what's your number ar?
K: 01x-xxx xxxx
Z: How to spell your name?
K: *spells for her*
Z: Hah? Your name not spelled as c-a-r?
I think by now most of you would have guessed what car this is.
Situation 3
'Z' and gang were packing up their books preparing to leave the library..
Z: We're going to Pyramid to watch 10,000BC (irony totally intended!)
K: Eh, I also wanna go...
Z: Come la..
K: Where you put your files?
Z: Why do you think I bring such a big bag for?
K: Then my files how?
Z: Put in the car la.. What's your problem? *gangsteristically*
The thing that really gets me is how she can just go off with some bunch of people whom she doesn't even know? AND to make things worse she doesn't drive.. If they took her to sell... (probably won't get much out of the sales anyway) but STILL! Doesn't all these go through her brain first? These days anyone, as in ANYONE can do ANYTHING... It's literally dangerous these days to just go out like that with anyone you know very well let alone just a little. In fact, there have been cases where own friends betray their good friends. You never know just how wicked the world is today.. K, you don't LIVE in 10,000 BC, where it's safer.. But then again, considering it's K!! Oh well.. I rest my case.. I had to repeat things I say for heaven knows how many times and STILL she doesn't understand.. Simple things like "It doesn't have to be a Friday in order to go out, right?" That, I repeated like 6 times.. And all 6 times she replies, "Hah?" Goodness gra-sias... Talking to her can vomit blood, like literally..

New Template
I had nothing better to do so I decided to change my blog template. I don't really like it because it's black and so I can't use any dark colour for my fonts PLUS it looks quite cc-fied. Anyway, because I was to lazy to change it back so I'll stick with it for a while.
My mum bought a keyboard and she's been playing non-stop. For those who don't know, I already have a piano at home (currently collecting dust because no one plays it) and she RARELY touches it. Now, she buys this keyboard and she plays it day and night with no ear-phones, mind you. Hopefully, it's not just because it's NEW.. My family has this habit of using new things to the MAX and then it becomes a white elephant. Remember I have a NEW template.. Wonder how long this one's gonna last...
Homework starts piling up especially tax. Goodness knows when I can actually finish it with all my procrastination and weird laziness. Now Mr. Jay told us to read annual reports of companies. Sometimes, I wonder am I doing the right thing taking this course? How can I cut down on coffee when I need it to stay awake and concentrate on whatever the lecturers are saying. Although it doesn't really help that much. Hmm..
