Of National Service(PLKN), Form 6 and Confusion

Hiatus over? Not really.

Am updating this because apparently, ICT is a compulsory subject here. At least there's no exams for this.

Warning: below contains awfully useless rants.

So... National Service. I'm pretty sure I've said something about it here before. So all these.. are mere semantics and details. If you're interested, read on.

I was posted to Kem De Bana, Jempol, Negeri Sembilan (hey, at least the camp has a pretty cool name right?),and essentially rotted there for 3 months. In camp, I was posted to the Alpha Company (Hidup Alpha!) and had a post as the sports committee. Camper identification? K17. The first week there was dreadful. No one knew each other, and everyone was trying to get use to the environment. And frankly, the food downright sucked. The camp was located right in the middle of nowhere, next to a mountain/jungle. That's where survival skills were called in. I made a friend on the first day though, so that's a good thing I guess? In camp, there was a uniform, and there was a routine. The uniform is a horribly dull blue (for all different sets). There's the PT (physical training) set, which is basically a long sleeved collared t shirt (for girls, short sleeves for guys) and black track pants. Formal wear or also known as our class shirt is a collared shirt with midnight blue slacks and mary janes.And of course there's also the camouflage. Complete with the 70 belt and beret, with spike boots and inner shirt. It's blue though, a horrible looking blue at that. And we got all those on the first day there. Along with beddings and stuff. The routine? It's repeated daily except on Saturdays and Sundays. Everyone had to get up at 5am, because the Muslims have to pray, so all the non Muslims have to go along and wait for them at the dining/multipurpose hall till about 6.15am, where everyone gathers at the drill field for morning assembly and PT. Everything is done with drills. Head count and all. So that sessions till about 7.30am. Then we get breakfast (crappy food, don't ask, the only good thing is nasi lemak, but we only get that once a week). Then, everyone rushes back to their dorms and do whatever they want to do, as long as everyone is done and changed by 8am. Why? Because we have classes. What sort of classes you say? Honestly I don't even know how to explain, it like so motivational class of that sort I guess, on how to be a better person and all that jazz. But, the curriculum involves learning how to juggle. Enough said. So class goes on till lunch, with a tea break in between at 10.30am. Then we get lunch, and rot in the hall because the Muslims have to go or prayers, again. Anyway, we get to rot till 1+pm, and no, no one is allowed to go back to their dorms because this camp is crappy like that. Then, the usual, do whatever you want in your dorms till 2pm, and be at drill field by then. The afternoon 2pm till 4pm session usually consist of physical and/or outdoor activities (but in the first month it was usually talks, and talks and talks. Ugh), this is wear we learned the proper drills and military shit. Everyone was dying under the hot sun, yes, but it was totally worth it. At 4, we get another tea break. Then, immediately after, there's sports. This is where I usually come in, being sports comm and all. There's this inter-company sports company going on, volleyball and netball for girls and volleyball and sepak takraw for guys. If you don't want to join, you get to do your own sports like jogging and etc. This, goes on till dinner, which is at 6pm. Then you get to shower and change (or eat, if you prefer) and go for roll call at 7pm. Then the non Muslims get to rot again! Because the Muslims have prayer and religious classes. Non Muslim religious classes only occur on Wednesdays or Thursday, depending on your faith.

WIP. To be continued.

of Christmas, Graduation and National Service

Tis the season! It's that season again, oh yeah it's Christmas. The season that of which I harbor a love-hate relationship with. Love, because it's Christmas, I mean, who doesn't love Christmas, the joy, love and fellowship is absolute bliss. Hate, because I'm too lazy to be a guitarist for this anymore, and heck my fingers burn from it, they still do, considering caroling period just ended (but I'm the guitarist for Christmas morning service, so gahhhh). But then again, most of my close friends aren't around this year, be it traveling or something else. Sigh. All things considered, I'm still having fun though. At least it's something I should be thankful about?

Anyway, I've officially graduated from secondary school. Yay. Major public exams all done and over with. And everyone is asking, "What are you going to do next?" Honestly, I think they should just leave me alone for the rest of my limbo of not knowing what to do and stop suggesting the directions I should go. Seriously though, leave me and my thoughts and my future alone, it's mine and I can do whatever the heck I want to do with it. Now, I just want to laze around all the time unless necessary.

And last but not least, I'm going to join the National Service (or basic military training) in January. Cheers. And I'm doing this willingly too. I mean, how many people do you know gets to use an M16 for free? Well at least that's something I sort of look forward to even though it did ruined most of my plans. And also because of NS, I have chopped of my waist long hair. Now its only shoulder length and I feel so free. Laughs. But yeah, a 3 month boot camp? Bring it on, I'm all for it.

Loving Lorde and The Mowgli's music nowadays.

of hiatuses and laziness

My hiatus abilities knows no bounds. But of course, I'm just too lazy to type most of the time. It's not like anyone actually reads this crap right? I mean, this is about a teen ranting of random things of her life. So yeah. I should probably get a life.

Anyway, since I'm basically friendless and so socially awkward that I can't even talk to a potato (sigh), this is my only way to get my mind off things. So bear with me.

My major final exams are near, and I should be spending time studying instead. But then again, its not like I ever study properly, that, I know because my trial exam results are like pffft. (laughs) Okay, so its not that bad, As and Bs, but still everybody knows I could've done wayyyy better.

Okay. Now I don't know what to say anymore. Oh well, hope that I can manage to pull myself to this site to post something soon.

Music? Clair De Lune - Flight Facilities.

Of Studies, A New Life and Loads of Homework

I AM BACK! I apologize for the long hiatus I had. Well, as you should know, its already March, and therefore, I am currently in a new school year, Form 4 to be exact. After getting an emotional 7A results for my PMR exams, I have been thrown into a pure science stream in school, you know, with biology, chemistry, physics and add maths and all those crap. Conclusion? Studies now suck, as they are all hard and not-fun. Sigh.

A new life? Of course I have a new life, what with all those new subjects and new duties and stuff. Life is tiring now, enough said. So don't expect posts that often.

And of course, I shall whine and complain about home-freakin-work. TEACHERS HAVE GONE CRAZY, giving us a ridiculous crap-load amount of homework everysinglefreakinday. Now I tend to use up one pen a week. A WEEK I TELL YOU! Last year pens could last up to a month!

Anything else? Nothing much, besides the fact that I can play the ukulele now. Smiles. Hopefully I'll be back typing soon. You can hope, but don't expect much.

Of Boredom, Novels and Loads of Extra Time

So, umm, yeah. Awkward. Sorry to whoever that actually have been reading this for going MIA for quite sometime.

Anyway, well, its kinda obvious that all exams, major and minor are all OVER. Hoots. Praise the Lord, hallelujah. Of course there's also the worrying over results part, but for now, ugh, who cares, results can wait. Then again, since exams are over, there's nothing to do. Seriously, absolutely nothing, none, nada, zilch, nicht, zip, nein, nyet, iie, nix, nil, absolutely NOTHING. Apparently there seems to be no point in doing anything after exams. Sigh. Therefore, I AM BORED and on the brink of insanity and close to losing my mind. Why? You ask? Because I just KNOW. And of course I also tend to laugh at the oddest of times and at nothing at all. And of course there's a whole lot more, but you don't need to know that do you. Smirks.

And well, since I'm so bored. I've bought tons of novels to read. Yay for me. Laughs. But there is one novel that I highly recommend (Hunger Games apart, because, seriously, what CAN top the Hunger Games anyway?) So, anyway, I'm suggesting Virals by Kathy Reichs(She's the person that inspired Bones the TV series just so you know). One of the best books I've read up till now, not the best, but one of the top few on my list.

As for the loads and loads of extra time, I've been doing nothing, as said. Which is why I'm back to typing, because no story plot bunnies have came to mind. Oh well then, that's 'bout it, the next post will probably be up soon, considering the fact that I'll be bored anyway.

Current song playing:

Of Exams, Marianas Trench and Holidays

Am back and am sleepy. Ugh. There's been like a thousand and one exams lately, exam after exam, test after test. It's driving me crazy! Purely ridiculous! Well, at least I'm not failing (when I should be because I've done absolutely zero studying, smirks) Well, anyway, right after trials exams two weeks ago, now there's another term test going on, it ends tomorrow though. But then again, sigh, I think I'm gonna lose my mind from all of the last minute cramming (cramming IS different from studying you know). Oh well, just one paper left, which is math, which is also the subject I'm best at, wish me luck, or well, maybe not, don't really need it.

And anyway, moving on from my Sungha Jung obsession, I'm currently leaning against Marianas Trench, haha, funny I know. Two totally different categories. Well, yeah, I'm still in love with Sungha Jung, but still, Marianas Trench has nice songs! Especially 'Celebrity Status' and 'Perfect'! Swoons. (I wanted to suggest 'Shake Tramp' but it's kinda, inappropriate.)

And never forget, ONE MORE DAY TILL HOLIDAYS! WOOHOO! Will be going outstation during holidays though, sigh, no staying at home and sleeping my life away. Oh well, at least its better than going to school to sit and stare at the teacher. Till next time, whenever that is.

Of Party Rockin', New Glasses and Trials Exams

HELLO I'M BACK.

Lol, s'been a pretty long time since I've typed anything. Well, anyway, time sure flies huh? Because guess what? Trial examination starts tomorrow! Yippee! I will definitely flunk this exam, I know for sure. Anyway, trials aside, will crap about it later, lately I've been sorta NOT EXACTLY myself, like what I'm doing now. No, I am not, I repeat NOT a hyper kid, I was never a hyper kid. But recently, I'm practically bouncing around, and singing party rock anthem out of the blue, like, the hell? What's wrong with me? Oh well, better relax than stressed out till I cant think straight, its not like I'm thinking straight now either. And so on and so on, my church's Fellowships' anniversary was just a couple of days ago, and HELL, it was awesome, I thank all the MIFers loads for making my day freakin' epic, even though there's minor setbacks with the powerpoint and stuff but it was still great, scratch that it was beyond awesomeness. And of course, I'm obsessed with LMFAO' party rock anthem, well, mostly this particular line "Sorry for party rockin'", laughs.

And not to forget, I have apparently got a new pair of glasses, since my old pair is practically useless now since I'm close to being blind. But still, my new glasses rocks. At last to me it does. Black is the new black! Lol, isn't that what people always say? They don't? Oh well.

Moving on, now, is time for my rant. What did I wanted to talk about again? Oh wait, yeah, trials, apparently, its that time of the year again, sigh. But then again, the bright side? This is the last official school examination of the year, yay, note sarcasm. And yet again, the time of the year to study our asses of, not like anyone know anyway, parents are always so goddamn irritating at this time of the year, its always study this, read that, do your revisions and practice that. Hell, don't they get the fact that the more they nag, the least I want to do it? Seriously, always acting like they care about it, let's see how they deal with it in situations like this, expecting so freakin' much on you, what do they think I am? Superman? And my bitch of a brother isn't helping much either, being the fuckin' jackass he usually is, flunking exams and lying and stuff. Groans. And tomorrow, I face death, the ultimate toughest exam in the whole damn school year, will see you in the next dimension, because my ass off a brother is using lame excuses to kick me of the laptop, he thinks the laptop is his, his his ass, I say. If he passes all his exams then I'll say its his, that dumbass doesn't know what he's up against, may the Lord be with him. Cheers.
