Very random…

Overwhelm…

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Overwhelm…

Oh dear… I’m so packed this week! Don’t think I’ll have any update until Sunday. I guess this is the longest hiatus I have in blogging.

I’m so busy with work, practicum, and IELTS preparation. So many paperwork that need to be done for the practical, what’s more… I’m teaching this morning means I wasted many of my time preparing lesson plan and lab sheets for the past two days until I have no time for my IELTS revision. Worst, speaking test is this Friday; listening, reading, and writing is this Saturday. I’m still not very confident in my writing and speaking to get band 7 as my mind is totally blank! Even reading is a bit of an issue. At least, speaking isn’t on the same day as the rest but still nerve wrecking because of previous experience.

Sigh… Trying to squeeze out as much time as possible for revision but can’t because I need to sleep before 11pm! My morning is gone too!

All right, that’s all for now. Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

Not Feeling Well

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Not Feeling Well

Body aching, eyes heavy, clumsy, and lightheaded.

Luckily it’s public holiday tomorrow. Not feeling well since Monday. It’s only the 3rd day, how to hang in there until November? I’ve been getting less than 7 hours sleep everyday. There’s no public holiday anymore too.

Had Panadol just now. Guess I’ll end the night early today. Getting sick is a big No-No because I need to prepare for next week’s ILETS! There’ll also be a wedding dinner to attend next week!

OK… Off to have my rest.

Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Time flies… I’m turning 28 this year, going to hit 30 in no time! However, I don’t feel like I’m 28, instead I’m only 18 hahaha…

At this age, many of my friends are either engaged, married, have children, climbing up the corporate ladder, buying properties, and so on. Everyone is moving to the next phase of life. One of my friends gave birth to her first child yesterday, just few hours shy away from sharing the same birth date as mine 😉

Me? None of the mentioned. I’m still trying to figure out where I belong to, where I want to end up in life. As many of you know, I have a plan for next year, most know what it’s all about and I’m sure by reading some of my posts you will roughly know too. It will be a turning point for me, trying to discover my strengths and weaknesses by getting out of my comfort zone and trying to figure out where my life should lead me to. I believe there is something out there, something hidden inside of me that is not discovered, I need to find it, that’s why I’m not settling down and there’s no sign of me settling down too, not until I found what I want or what I’m supposed to do. It’s a huge step, I’m going to explore a whole new environment, a whole new life awaiting me. Will I end up with it after the period of time ended or come back to my comfort zone? We will have to see by then.

Remember my IELTS exam? I can’t laugh sigh… I got a phone call yesterday telling me that I have to resit. I thought of changing plan but apparently after doing some research, I have no other option but go back to the initial plan. Sigh… So… I will be resitting IELTS this coming 25th September hopefully will nail it this time. All component 7!!

I’m very worry about writing because the topics are fixed, speaking part I’m quite worry too because I tend to become disoriented if I got too excited+nervous and I would forget about my grammar, run out of vocabulary and “lies”(ideas) just like what happened that time *gulp* Seriously need to overcome this problem. In fact I’m also worry about the listening part, I was lucky the first time, not sure will I be lucky this time around to score almost a perfect 9.

I guess my main problem was being too nervous that day, I hope this time around I will not be so nervous anymore because I’ve been there once and I know what to expect. That’s one expensive “tuition fee”. Have to part with another RM550!! Not cheap! Total will be RM1100, this amount is enough for me to travel to several places or about 1 month rental for next year 🙁 What I’m afraid now is if I still do not get at least 7 for each of the component, I’m seriously in deep shit.

I have more or less 20 days to prepare but after subtracting those days that I will be packed, I have an average of less than a week to prepare 🙁 Then again, I now have problem with how to prepare for the resit. I’m so lost, I have no idea where to start, I’ve exhausted everything I could find and do that time. Am I going to do the preparation the same way? I really don’t know…

Anyway, that’s all for today. Have a great weekend!

I’m So Sleepy

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on I’m So Sleepy

I feel so no mood, lazy, and exhausted today, don’t know why. After I came back from class, I felt so sleepy. It was only 5pm+ that time.

August is ending soon. Time really flies. Next Tuesday will be a public holiday, our National Day. Then, it will be Hari Raya Aidilfitri. If I have a semester break now or my bro does not have classes next week, I’ll be in Singapore now and will only come back on Wednesday. Too bad… I’m still stuck here.

I’m very random today. Think I better go to sleep early and go to church tomorrow, I skipped quite a lot of services lately because I didn’t want to wake up and slept very late the night before ;p

All right, that’s all for now.

To Laugh or to Cry?

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on To Laugh or to Cry?

Finally, the dreaded IELTS result is out! Went to take it just now.

See! Overall band 7.

Seeing the result, I really have no idea to laugh or to cry. I was disappointed with my listening test as I couldn’t hear the conversation clearly and almost threw the mark of one whole section away. I was thinking, if lucky, I might get a 7 else it will be 6.5. Who knows?!?! WOW! I almost got blown away with what I’m getting! 8.5, only 0.5 to the perfect 9, the highest band score! I never expect this result. I don’t understand how on earth it happened. I’m not going to complain of course, it’s so much better than what I had wished for. It had saved my ass too! If it’s not because of this, I won’t be getting an overall band of 7.

Reading, I was expecting a 7.5 or 7. I got 7. At least in the range of 7. Phew…

Writing, expected it but I was hoping to get a 7 as I read many band 7 essay samples, it’s not hard to achieve that. If I had the time to check my writing, then I think I’ll get a 7 for it but I didn’t have the time. Sigh…

Speaking, LOL… Expected to get lousy band but did not expect a 6, quite disappointing. Oh well… I really messed up. Instead of talking formally, I was yapping away like talking to my friends. Blek…

With such result, I’m not so sure whether they accept it or not as the offer letter mentioned that I must get band 7 for all components but the prospectus stated that an average 7 is enough. So… I’m not really sure.

Now, I’ll just have to wait to see whether they accept my score or not. If not, I have to resit! I don’t want!!! Sigh… Really don’t know to cry or laugh, worry or relieve. Cross my fingers, I don’t want to resit 🙁
