sick... again

sigh. i'm like plagued with the same sickness everytime - flu, sore throat and cough. even my company doctor who viewed my past records also commented that it seemed i get the same illness almost every other month. weird though.

for this time round, i developed giddyness as well. the doc said it was due to my prolonged flu (about 3 to 4 days) which kinds of affect my breathing therefore leads to giddyness.

so, i can't exactly study when my world is quite spinning. looks like i have to skip tomorrow's exam and wait for the deferred paper. haix.

can i not go work too?? =/

a pat on my back.. =)

this entry may bore you. skip it if you can.

this entry is to compliment myself for a good job done for my sem test yesterday. i guess, no one would actually be like what i'm doing, writing something that i felt i did well and i believe this is to recognize my good effort.

it was hard to even get into the mood to study for my tests, especially when they are just after CNY. even if i'm not actively going for visitings, my top priority was to get as much rest as i could. that's the least i could do to pamper myself abit more. after all, what are the chances i get to REALLY sleep over my rest days? almost zero. back then there were projects and more projects to fret....

i seriously thought i wouldn't be able to finish all the required chapters to study. since i was still working the day before my test, and the test fell in the afternoon the following day, i didn't have any confident of memorizing the text. so, i got a backup plan: if i EVER not confident of going to the test due to insufficient time completing my revision, i would throw in an MC and wait for the deferred paper. i know that's not suppose to be an option for me, but i don't really have any other better suggestion. nonetheless, i still tried to study and managed to complete everything, 2 to 3 hours before the test time. PHEW! even though i'm easily distracted since i'm studying at home, i'm glad somehow i managed to study hard.

during the paper, i'm amazed how hard i've studied coz' i actually know almost 90% of the answers to the paper!! of coz, i may know the answers but that didn't mean i'll get them all correct. however, at least i'm confident to get at least a Credit for that paper. and also, it's not as if i know like 100% of the answers, so to some, they might feel it's no big deal. BUT! you have to think about that fact i'm not a full time student and trying to devote quality time to study requires quite an amount of effort, especially for someone who can't exactly prioritize her commitments properly like me.

i never felt better leaving the exam hall. it seriously felt good, for the 1st time in my life as a student. sad huh? back in poly and sec school days, i'm always uncertained and sometimes depressed when the test is over. and what i'll do was to cross my fingers and hope for the best for the upcoming results. that feeling was horrible lah... never wished to reminise that.

well, i've another test coming up on the 27th. i hope i'll be able to feel that confident as i did earlier. the challenging part is: the test is a 9am paper.

alright! it's time to do justice for myself and start blogging after like so blardy long! well, actually i have a draft which was still incomplete, and that post was the pics and all of me @ Thailand. i didn't really have the time to complete it at the moment, purely was exhaustion from endless shopping at Thailand and busy with work. so pardon me...haha..

also, over the CNY, i had my fingers done up with Acrylic Nails. they're quite pretty actually, but they just feel not the same as our own. i got quite a hard time trying to adapt to the "sudden extended nails", fearing the nails would just pop out when i used my fingers. and seriously, i think shorter nails are much more convenient, and comfortable. now i can type away without having to fumble over the keys with some articificial nails.... also, even messaging was tough. maybe coz' my phone has a pretty flat keypad. half the time i'm using my nails to press the buttons, and messaging became such a chore coz' i can't type with my usual speed!

quantity of ang pows are pretty low this year. maybe coz' i went visiting late and most of the relatives may have left and stuff like that. =/ plus, it was less than 1 year since my granddad past away and i can't go visiting other than relatives' places. *groan*

didn't do much over the CNY too. other than the usual places we go every year for visitings, i met YM for late night movies. caught Norbit and Ghost Rider . even though Bellie felt that Ghost Rider sucked, i kind of like it better than Norbit. and i thought Norbit could have been better. maybe coz' there's quite alot of censorship to the film itself that somehow the storyline didn't flow that well.... and the show was an NC16, fyi.

well, that's pretty much for the updates for now. i've a test tomorrow and i haven't even studied for it!! and i've to cover like 9 topics! i'm so dead.... maybe i should just take an MC since i'm not feeling well.... hmm. then i'll be assigned for a deferred test... ha! just a thought...
