Yesterday I read sejarah so much but didn't touch economy at all.
Today's Sejarah paper was tough la...Just crap all I could insert..haha.

Microeconomy was crazy loh. Section A, B , C and D.
Section A was objective la...so ok la.
Section B was ok...I did all 5 questions.
Section C was do-able. I did all 2 questions
Section D was crazy...I didn't manage to complete both questions. The graph was time consuming and not even half done.
Not enough time loh...

bm 2 and pp 1

I sat for 2 papers today.
Bm 2= essay, rumusan, alih bahasa, cari kesalahan bahasa 8am to 11am

PP 1 2pm to 5pm

BM paper 2........after I got into the hall and looked at the questions. I just wanted to walk out of the hall. But I stared at the paper for some time and then attempted the cari kesalahan and rumusan then I came back and wrote rubbish for the essay and finally I did the alih bahasa. I had 10 minutes to spare...waited for time to quickly tick away.

Pengurusan Perniagaan 1...I look at the questions and then prepared to sleep but then my conscience kept telling me not to give up so I die die also just crap all the best that I could. Finish and left with one more hour so I did an extra question and then got 30 minutes more. I left class early!

sej dunia and sej Islam

2pm to 5pm...3hours
Sejarah 1 = Sejarah Dunia and Sejarah Islam.

I read a lot yesterday. Today after I woke up, I tried reading more but I keep falling asleep. Once again I felt like not taking the paper.
I seriously don't know what's wrong with me.

Okies, the paper was a shocker! Nothing I studied came out...hahaha.
So, I looked at the clock and stared a few minute then I considered all the question and analyzed which one I can talk crap the most. It was really hard la. Squeezing my brains of any rubbish I could include in the 4 essay questions.

By God's grace I managed to not leave the papers blank...haha.

The man examiner with glasses which have thick black frames is really scary. He look at me, I look at him, he look at me, I look at him...haha, he might think I'm so suspicious and think that I copied or let people copy....haha, I wouldn't be surprised if he really suspends my results. He even talked to the main examiner and pointed to me with his finger and that main examiner looked at me.

Pengajian Am 2

STPM first paper for me today 8am-11pm (3 hours)

My first paper-Pengajian Am 2 was much better than I anticipated la.
I woke up feeling so low and drag myself to school. At school, I felt like just going back home and skipping the paper. I don't know why I felt that way. I never felt that way before in my life...haha, really feels weird!
But I didn't do that la, it would be a waste of time and effort in Form 6 loh.
I sat in the classroom just worrying...then when we begin, the questions were do-able la..but every time the examiner stood next to me, i would panic and lose the thread of ideas..haha. I think overall I can pass la :P

There was construction working noise and it was disturbing. Besides that, announcement to ask the STPM students to get into class was really killing me. I couldn't concentrate and of cause, the thread of ideas also stopped there for a while. The Muslim prayer shouting on the P.A. system during the STPM paper was reallly annoying and gave me headache. The school is really not a good environment for doing examination.

My teachers always said students don't have enough time to finish PA paper 2. But I managed to complete it with about 10 minutes to spare.

The essay part was ok but i am not sure if my answers are in the schema or not...haha. I was happy that at least I got points and included some rubbish on dasar PIP (IKS) and Tun Abdullah promoting pertanian and some science terms...haha.

I don't know why I couldn't come up with anything for nearly all the first option of Section A, B and C.
Section A, B and C, when I looked at the first option, I went blank...haha. So I did the second option la.

For section D, I only prepared for pie chart but there was no pie chart question and I started to panic. Then I read the questions la. The first option had a shorter title and I remember is % perubahan means the one we did during the STPM WPKL TRIALS :) Yay!

For Section E, both also was jadual. well, the first option had lesser years to compare so I did the first option..haha. I managed to include the 1998 kegawatan ekonomi serantau and Tun Mahathir pegging RM3.80 to USD1 :)

I'm really not sure if I menjawab kehendak soalan but I'm satisfied that I didn't leave anything blank :)

I am Appalled

I don't know why I really am surprised that my current school teachers are different. They encourage us to copy, they even teach us how to copy in STPM. They keep saying, JANGAN KEDEKUT ILMU, JANGAN SYOK SENDIRI MENJAWAB STPM.

It's really a cultural shock...teachers encouraging cheating in STPM. It really blows my mind! They tell us to write keywords in dark pen on extra paper or draw pictures and put the paper on the side of the table and then later crumple the paper and throw it.

These advises and "words of wisdom" coming from teachers where the school has prayers recital every morning, bacaan Ayat Yasin every thursday for 40 minutes, recite bacaan doa before every lesson starts, reading the whole Al-Quran activity and all those agama camps and doa selamat and ceramahs on Islam and all that religious stuffs.

To tell you the truth, I really wonder if all their religious actions are forced and just traditions-->Everything outer only but nothing happening internally. I am really appalled.

I'm so sorry if you feel offended, But this is really something that I cannot comprehend.

days

Tues was the last day of school Wed was the official day of the start of STPM but my first paper is on MON(23rd nov)...because my subjects are not on this wed nor thurs. There are no STPM subjects/papers on FRI.

thurs and fri(today) we went to school for extra class. Economy and History.
I'm nervous, about 2 more days and then My first STPM will start...

R U ready?

2nd last day

Last week was crazy... Mr Nanda gave extra class on Saturday and Sunday. 8.30am to about 4pm.
So full of notes and past year questions...most of the time, I was struggling to follow his pace...I'm a quite slow learner.

Today we changed class and arranged class for STPM. There was still studies too. After class, the upper 6 students had a small "jamuan"..."Doa Selamat"...Started by prayer then followed by Speeches by a few student rep and then speech by Teacher rep and then say Grace and then feast.

After the feast, ask for forgiveness and blessing. Salam with teachers and say sorry. They gave last words...All the girls cried except me. AFter that, the preuniversity students went around "salam-ing" and asking for forgiveness. We had to wash our own plates and cups initially but in the end only a few girls did the washing.

A rainy day today-morning, and evening. The rain was like cats and dogs so much that Mr Nanda had to compete with the rain to teach us...LOL.

I thank God it wasn't raining like that during MUET listening...haha.

Tomorrow is our last day in school.

Wednesday is where Spm and STPM officially starts but my first paper starts next Monday.

MUET reading, writing, listening

OKi, now I'm gonna blog about my Malaysian University English Test(MUET) which was today.
3 papers almost back to back.
The Day started with us assembling in the hall and our MUET teacher-->Ms Wong lectured us or gave us last minute remember-to-do things... I was like "Let's get this done and over with as soon as possible! Come on la teacher, morning morning already give lecture ar?" Feeling so frustrated why time went by so slow. The interval between each paper was 30 minutes.

Then our first paper was 45 objective questions-->Reading component. 26 questions out of 45 questions I was not too sure of and I re-check my paper and spotted a wrong answer...just as I was about to change it, the examiner took my paper away :'(

So worried and frustrated. I wanted everything to end soon. We had 30 minutes interval but in reality only a 20 min rest cause must be in the hall 10 min before the paper starts. People were revising and chatting but I was so restless and stressed. I wanted to run or do some physical exercise, I couldn't stand sitting on the chair so I left my friends and went walking around the block and walked up and down the stairs too...

The next paper came...Writing component! I have always hated report writing and in school we always practiced 2 or 3 stimulus but todays paper was only one stimulus. So I dreaded it all the more and just wrote rubbish.
However, Question 2 was a fun one to do as it was an open essay. "People commit crime for selfish reasons. Discuss. You should write at least 350 words"
I really enjoyed writing this essay that I wrote at least 500 words..LOL
I was kinda lost as no instruction was given by the invigilator...Can I begin? What to write on the "Tahun" and where to write the question number...and things like that, so I just used some common sense and did what I thought was correct...lalala, in my own world.

After the exam, I realised that my answer was not as normal people would answer so I got scared...I just pray and hope that I won't get a closed-minded examiner. Please don't let it be a rural malay examiner. Let me have an open minded examiner. Please, please, please. Worried my time away.

Our last and final paper--> Listening. Part 2 and 3 was tough especially the final 2 questions. It was funny that as we were a bit disturbed by the other class's radio. My class started a bit late because we had to wait for a few candidates who were still eating...LOL-->Not enough break time :P
When our class started late but the other classes went punctually. So, during our minute of writing answer, we could hear a bit on what's going to come next...but sometimes it was hard when their radio clash with ours, where we had to really focus and block out the other classes' radio in order to pay attention to our radio.

After the Listening paper, we were given a "feedback slip" to fill up. I wrote "question 2 is an open question so i hope that the examiners are open minded too. It's good to finish all 3 papers in one day and so I hope we can get back our results earlier"

(Yesterday the invigilators came to school to check the classes and the radio. One of the radio was so soft so I protested. Then the invigilator said, "Bring a speaker la" LOL
I really brought a speaker today, I think Room 3 used my speakers. As the last paper finished, an invigilator called me "Ms Hilda"...I felt strange. My name on the MUET paper was HEW MUN FOONG and I don't recall telling her my name. Maybe she saw my name tag or maybe She did indeed know me...I felt like she looked like someone I know-->Ms Runa Wan from SUFES but I seriously doubt that it's Ms Runa Wan.)


Overall, the paper was okay, the invigilators were nice people but they were not clear and didn't give out instructions, therefore useless invigilators! I seriously think the interval between each paper was too short...Candidates have no time for brunch or break or to eat and etc. But it was indeed a very stressful day for me...the time was a mental torture for me. XP

Thus I end here. I'm aiming for a band 3 or 4. Band 5 is possible but I don't want to aim too high as I know that my English is not so good. Thankfully MUET is finally over!

friendship n trust!

Drama, drama, drama...that's what happened today at school. 2 of my good friends in school who were best friends were not on talking terms today.
Zizah and Pui Yee...I'm much closer to Zizah because we used to go to the same ex-secondary school. Zizah sits in between me and Pui Yee.

It was really a weird situation when 2 best friends who sit next to each other, don't talk to each other. I don't know whether to laugh or to show sympathy...whatever it was, it wasn't a nice situation at all.

During the second recess when Zizah went out of class, I took this opportunity to ask Pui Yee what had happened cause I knew that Zizah would tell me later. I gotta know Pui Yee's side before I hear Zizah's side cause if I hear Zizah's side first then I would be a bit bias.

Tears from Pui Yee's eyes and her side of the story. Then Zizah came and they quarrel, each telling their side.The truth was out but it was quite hard to believe though...LOL.
It was a matter of Trust--> Who do you trust? Your best friend or a new found friend?
Did your friend breach your trust or was your new friend "fishing"? (Fishing= simply say-->want to find out something, so they pretend they know... & you end up exposing it yourself...Most cops/police use this tactic)

Then after the short "sharing", Zizah went out, hurt that Pui Yee rather trust someone else.
Then Pui Yee said, "Hilda, you believe her or not?"
I replied, "It's hard to say because the other girl and Zizah are friends and there is a possibility but I trust my friend more than others loh"
Pui Yee said, "I don't believe loh. If you what will you do?"
I said," If me, I rather trust my good friend than someone else la."
Then Pui Yee said, "If it's real, your close friend break your trust?"
I replied,"If me, my good friend betray me...err, 1st time I let go, 2nd time I let go, 3rd time no more already. I mean I won't break the friendship because of a small thing or two. You fooled me once shame on you,YOu fooled me twice shame on me! 3rd time is melampau already la"

Gave her some time to think. I went to Zizah and reported status: Pui Yee doesn't really believe you.

Back to class. Pui Yee pulled me to the back and asked me something about Zizah and I answered truthfully. Then Pui Yee went out to Zizah and I don't know what happened there.
When they both came back in, both of them with teary eyes and sniffing so I said, "Woah, I didn't know you girls had a terrible flu..." LOL

During economy class, Wani W came into class with teary eyes and sniffing too...totally a diff case but sorta like the same reaction la. Zizah said to me, "Today so many people got FLU."

Yeah, so neways at least the day ended with both my good friends as normal like nothing happened...Turns out that the part of Pui Yee and Zizah outside the class...there was a process of apologizing and mending relationship and everything became normal :)

Wasn't that a crazy drama...the class of Upper 6 Aspirasi!
