Finally! Can breath a bit, exam is over for this semester. Good thing only one paper. However, it’s only for awhile before I start getting myself drown with works and studies starting next week and will last till November. There won’t be any semester or even study break by then! Seriously, I need to take a break in December after my exam, might head over to Singapore by then for a short trip with my family and welcome the 2011 in Singapore.

Something today made me realized something. I’m not going to elaborate but let’s just say I am clearer with what, where, and how my heart is. It’s still the same after so many years. I’m not sure how it is going to be in the future but I know now that the heart is still the same even though it’s been almost 8 months.

Time to sleep. Good night!

LOL… I wonder how many people will stumble into this post when they search for topics related to IELTS ;p

I had completed mine today. I’m not very happy with what I did. I think I might have to resit, if this really happens, then it’s going to be another RM550. Expensive! Sigh…

I’ve been preparing for it for about 3 weeks. I had the feeling that I’m fully prepared but today’s experience wasn’t a very nice one.

The listening test was quite a disappointment for me, I didn’t do as well as I had expected. I had problem grasping the speech of section 2 because the volume was too loud for me. I did tell the invigilator to reduce the volume before it started but after that she increased it again. Aih… I hope I managed to answer at least 30 questions correctly because from my rough estimation, I had problem with 10 questions, mostly in section 2. My section 2 almost went down the drain!

The reading test, quite nerve wrecking too. I thought I could finish it fast but who knows I couldn’t complete the whole thing and left one field blank, not in time to write down my answer even though I could just simply write something in there. This, I had 10 questions that I’m not very sure too. Again, hopefully the rest were correct.

The writing test, OMG! The graph I hated the most came out! Damn, I had been having problem trying to interpret them during my revision and it came out! I just wrote whatever I could. Then, second essay was totally different format from what I’ve been studying. Aiks… I kept writing without stopping and didn’t have the luxury of time to check my language -.-” 60 minutes for two essays(150 words and 250 words) with no option to choose is nerve wrecking! Especially when I did not have a good start and it’s affecting me in a way.

The speaking test, major disappointment. I wasn’t prepared for that topic and it’s a topic so alien to me. I talked until I got nothing to talk and I still had time. I paused and simply added in some salt, chilies, and peppers which were not related and got my speech mumbled jumbled with grammatical mistakes. Running out of vocabulary was not fun too. Pronunciation was OK I guess. I was supposed to talk slower than my usual speed but I went faster and faster. That was not good. ARG!

Getting 7 for every single component? I’m so worry. If I do get it, wow… I’m really lucky.

Average 7, maybe, but I don’t dare to put high hope on it with what I had done just now. Then again, there is no use for an average of 7, I still need to retake!

Sigh… I should just let it be, think so much also no use. It’s over. Better concentrate on my coming semester exam.

Is there even such word? LOL… Anyway, I did some silly mistakes on my postal order and my application was sent back from Putrajaya with my self-addressed stamped envelope which was supposed to be for the applied documents rather than my own forms! -.-”

I was so silly, I signed and wrote on the fields of the postal order that I’m not supposed to be writing! Unbelievable! I actually did that!

So… It’s invalid and they can’t process my application! Have to resend again… Means new envelopes, buy stamps again, ask the post office to cancel this invalid postal order and issue a new one. So much of being a bimbo. *shake head*

Will do it next week, too occupied this week. As if I’ll be free next week. Cheh! Or the week after.

Oh my! I spent almost 12 hours reading and writing essays today! Amazing! I don’t think I had studied this hard before especially for language subject. What’s more, it’s English! I had never put any time to do exclusive revision for English exam in school. This is my first time doing so!

Still not confident with my academic and formal writing skill. Need a lot of brushing up and I have less than a week before the “judgment day”! Oh dear… 60 minutes for two essays is quite ridiculous I think… ARG! Worst, when you are required to score everything at least with a 7 and not an average of 7. If it’s an average of 7, I definitely can do that but 7 each? WOW! Not easy.

I thought I will have problem with listening but apparently it was not that bad, at least I know how much I should score to get a 7. The most difficult is writing as it is very subjective, it’s all depend on the marker’s mercy. I guess I will be spending all my available time reading sample essays and train myself to complete two essays in 60 minutes. So far, I failed to complete them in 60 minutes, even if I did, I didn’t have even half a second left to check my writing -.-”

Ganbatte!
