Lucky me.

Hey people,

Guess what?? I won 2 movie tickets (of my choice) and a combo popcorn set thingy yesterday. WOOOOOO!! It was seriously my first time winning something this big. Okay so the story is, in order to raise funds for Prom and the Somalian Refugee Centre, the CPU Prom Committee organized this raffle ticket thing so Mr. Farshad came to English class to sell tickets and I bought 2 just for the fun of it. So I didn't think much about it till I got THE call. At that time, I was in the library looking at the Guiness Book of Records with Leng Hue (eh, Leng Hue, I think you're my good luck charm. ;D). I got this unknown call, so I picked it up and this is more or less what happened (I can't exactly remember the whole conversation so some of it is kinda altered),

Man's Voice : Hello?
Me : Hello??
Man's Voice : Is this Elaina Teng?
Me : Yea?
Man's Voice : okay. so you won the 2 movie tickets.. *people shouting at the background so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear*. CONGRATULATIONS!!! (okay, at this time, I really thought it was my friend playing a joke on me or something). Gotcha.
My reaction was like O_O. "Huh?!?"
Mr. Farshad (I kinda figured out who was talking at this point, you have to understand that I don't know how Mr. Farshad sounds like cause I have never talked to him or have him as my teacher) : So, you can choose any movie you want but it has to be sometime next week and in Sunway Pyramid. Let me know what movie you want tomorrow.
Me : Tell you the movie tomorrow?
Mr. Farshad : yeah yeah.
Me : Okay.
Mr. Farshad : Come see me in the red room and ask for Mr. D. And if they ask which Mr. D, say the good-looking one.
Me : Hahahah. okay. Thank you.
Mr. Farshad : Sure no problem. Congrats again!! See you tomorrow.
Me : Okay. Bye!
Mr. Farshad : Bye! Take care.

So yup, I won the tickets. and Mr. Farshad is a very funny person!! I just went to see him and he was really funny and nice. I kept laughing while I was talking to him. So when I told him that I need an extra 3 tickets but I'll pay for it. He was like, "What? I'm running errands for you now?". I didn't know how to respond to that so I gave a nervous laugh and was like no no. And when I walked into his class to talk to him about the tickets, he was like *points his finger straight at me* Oh, your the girl who won the movie tickets and there were students in his class. So I backed out of the class and hid behind the wall. And there were some really funny moments after but too long to explain. XD. So yeah bottom line is, he gave me the money to buy the tickets instead. =).

In conclusion, we shall go watch a movie one day next week and celebrate Leng Hue's and Evelyn's birthday if possible. =D.


Yup, that was pretty much about what I wanted to blog about. haha.

Oh yeah, I actually wanted to invite my English lecturer for the movie, so I could rub it in her face!!! Muahahaha. But since I'm going with my friends I won't get to carry out that plan. Awww man. But its okay because there WILL be other opportunities. It sounds so cruel but trust me, if you were me, you would want to do the same. and I don't mind not rubbing it in because I'm going out with my friendsss.. YAY!!!! My awesomely awesome friends!! =D

Okay so that's all for now.

Take care!! =)

P/S : I'll blog about my trip to Malaysia Philharmonic Youth Ochestra, that I went to yesterday soon. =). There's only one pic that we took, which is quite sad la but at least we took ONE shot right?? haha. HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!! YAY!!!

HEEELLLOO PEOPLE!

The lack of sleep has really gotten to me. I really gone all crazy. You can ask my group-mates. =P . Anyways, I'm finally done with my presentation and I actually thought I did pretty well. I thought I would mumble and be inaudible but I think I did quite well. *floats.. =D* Hahah.

Well for those of you who've seen me present before, I seldom lift my eyes up from my paper/slideshow but this time, I didn't totally rely on my notes.

So before going up, my partner was like, "don't keep saying ummm and ahh and finish your sentences". Surpringsly, he was the one doing that. XD. Talk about ironic.

I have no idea how my lecturer found it though. I hope he liked it. =S. We didn't have enough time so I didn't use my notes for my the opinion part of the presentation. =( . Well, when I do get my results back, I'll post it up. (I hope I remember. =P)

And yes!! I finished and handed in my 1500 word essay!!! YAY!!! *jumps up and down in joy*. I'm now left with the board game and reflection essay due 2moro, and an opinion essay based on our presentation due on friday and ITS THE HOLIDAYS!!!

Sorry if I'm not being specific about some things. I'm rushing to type this before I have to go off. I'm going for MPYO (Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra) with my church youths today and then a sleepovers at Esthers. =).

I'll try to update again tomorrow.

Bye guys!! Take care. ;)

The Deprivation

Please excuse me if my post doesn't make much sense. My brain is working at like half capacity cause I only had 4 hours of sleep. I guess that's considered alot seeing as how my dear friend Sio Leng Hue slept at 3 and woke up around the same time. *salutes her!* hahaha.

Its really funny to see us when our desperation going to sleep kicks in. Leng Hue had to practically ask me the same question 3 times before I could get it in my head. I could usually do work and talk to people at the same time but today I couldn't. I seriously couldn't!! Oh my gosh!! =S. Reaction time really slowed down. I had to stop my work and ask Leng Hue to repeat the question. SORRY LENG HUE FOR MAKING YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION SO MANY TIMES. XD. I'm getting very amuzed with how sleep deprivation makes people act all funny. Leng Hue and I are sitting next to each other and blogging and when she asked me when our reflection essay was due, I said wait ar let's check BB7 (Student portal) and when I changed the tab, I totally forgot what we were looking for. LOL!!! What wonderful memory I have.

Hmmm. I'm having a relatively small but imminent headache. =_=. I think it was because of the vibrating screen I had to ensure in the library to do my 1500 word Life of Pi essay. Well, I couldn't finish it and asked Mr. James (who is so awesome! I wouldn't trade him for any other. =D) whether I could hand in the soft copy first and the hard copy tomorrow and he was like sure sure. OMG!! I LOVE HIM!! =D. I feel kinda guilty cause its like I'm taking advantage of him. I'M SORRY MR. JAMES!! =) .Awww. I'm starting to love English period more (not the subject though. The subject keeps getting so hard that its hard to catch up. X_X). Why you may ask? Its cause of the awesome people there (well except one. XD) Yes, my friendsy.. Evelyn Quek Hui Juin (I'm still not used to calling her Hui Jiun. =P), Natasha Falina, Sio Leng Hue and Victor Tan Shea Khai and of course Mr. James, well technically he's my lecturer but still he's awesome! =D. We continued doing our board game assignment today which is a really fun but relatively hard thing to do. But still awesome. I can't wait to see the outcome. =D


I really want to hit the bed as soon as I reach home but I have to finish up my part of the board game AND prepare for a presentation. I would most probably fall asleep at 6 and wake up at 7 without knowing it. Well, its what I've been doing for the past week. Yesterday, I was so tired that I didn't even notice that I fell asleep with the laptop on my lap (I was doing my assignments) and my hair still wrapped in a towel. XD.

Okay I think I better go.

Bye people. =D

P/S : Sorry if my post is very essay like. My 1500 word essay on Life of Pi has made me this way. XD. Sio Leng Hue has got me addicted to the words, man and retard. =P. Hahaha. I just realized that I didn't tell you guys why I slept at 2. It was cause I stayed up doing my Life of Pi essay (a 1500 word essay. I HAD to emphasize that) that was due today. Everyone came into class a little to relatively late today because of the essay. LoL!

LOL

After I posted it, my day started to look up. Well, sorta anyways. I totally forgot that there's a 1500 word essay due next week for English on a novel we read. =S . Crap! I have no idea how to even start. I'll need to really talk to my lecturer.

Data wasn't too bad today. It was actually quite fun. We played a game with a die for our topic probability. It was a simple activity but we still had fun. Hahaha. We easily amuzed people (I might be just talking about myself. =P) That was pretty much what we did the whole class.

After Data I had English and because that essay (from the first part) is due next week, Mr. James gave us a free period. Yay! =D. He started the free period with a story on why he came to Malaysia to teach. As he was talking, another lecturer came in and he quickly said "Adverbs people, adverbs" (or something like that), so the whole class burst out laughing. So the lecturer was actually looking for a girl in my class, we shall call her AH (its an abrivation for something that I shan't say). Anyways, this is more or less the conversation.

Other Lecturer : Mr. James, can I borrow AH for a little while.
Mr. James : Sure. You can take her for the whole period.

LOL!!!!! OUCH SIAL!! and she was still in the class when he said that. A number of us burst out laughing, I was one of them. Sorry la but if you've been through what we've been through, you'll know why.

Anyways, so he completed the story and touched us all by saying we are the reason he likes teaching. Awwww. =D . After that he gave us the option to go to either the library, the Web or stay in the class. So me and my friends decided to stay in the class with Mr. James,which turned out to be sooo superly duperly fun. We joked around with him, taught him a little Malay and got to know him a little more. It was so worth not getting any work done. XD. He was super sporting about all of it too. And the best part was explaining to him some stuff that we couldn't translate into English and when we tried, it sounded so retarded. hahaha.

Yup, that was the highlight of my day. I gotta get back to my growing stack of work. Bye people! =).


P/S : Its definite that all CPU are shifting to the TBS building. ='( . Everything is far now, okay maybe not that far, but not convenient anymore. SPM results in 3 days. =S . Still deciding whether to skip classes or to go for classes and collect my results late and NO XIN ZHI! You collecting my results is NOT an option. =P

I'm not very happy this morning. I hope things look up later today.

If you're wondering why I'm not happy, read on. If you're not wondering then don't read on. XD.

Anyways, I just got back my quiz for Individuals. ='( . I didn't score well at all. I barely passed (I think the passing mark is like 50). My lowest mark thus far. NOOOOHH!!! Yes people, I'm a nerd when it comes to keeping my grades up. I really hope that this doesn't affect my overall marks too much or I'm screwed! Crap, I'm sounding like some nerd that never gets below an A. (For those of you who don't know me well enough, I was a below average to average student back in high school. Failing to me, then, was something I was use to.) My Individuals lecturer wasn't too happy with the class cause, if I'm not mistaken, the class average was like 6.1 or 6.9 or something (overall mark is 11). He seemed a little angry when he explained to the class what we did wrong in how we answered the questions.

Though I scored badly, I might have a chance to redeem myself. He said he would be posting up questions on the discussion board on the student portal for us to get extra marks. yay! =D.


Anyways, I should be getting to class in awhile, so that's all from me for now. Bye!! =)


P/S : I think my course (CPU) is shifting to the TBS(Taylor's Business School) building which isn't very far but still!! NOOHH!!! =( . We're all comfortable where we are! I couldn't think of a title so I just left it blank.

Deprivation

I have no idea why I'm so tired so often. No, its not the hormones or whatever. I just feel really, err, how should I say it, drained?

I should start sleeping early again. Nowadays, no matter how hard I try to sleep by 10.30, latest 11 on days when I'm really tired, I still end up sleeping at almost 12. Damn!

Yesterday, I semi-tortured myself doing my assignment. I stayed up till like 2 doing my Individuals CCA Phase 2 (if you don't know what I'm talking about, refer to post before this) and its still NOT done and continued to torture myself by reading a book I need for my English CCA project, which isn't boring book (THANK GOD) so I didn't find it too tortorus reading it!! Arggh!! And I needed to get some stuff for college and stuff this morning, so I couldn't sleep all I wanted to. If you're wondering why didn't I just go in the afternoon or something, its because my mum wasn't free after 1.30.

I just came to a realization that the procrastinating I've been doing on some projects are coming back to hunt me. I have my Individuals CCA Phase 2, SPM results, Data CCA Part 2 which includes looking for people to do a survey (which I have to say looked easy at first and ended up becoming so freaking hard), and finish reading a BOOK for English to finish by this week. And the following week, I have a presentation due. ARGH!!!!

Well, this morning's shopping did help take the stress off a little. I got myself blue new folders, paper for college notes, pens, a book (The Lovely Bones) and some other stuff. I wanted to get a hoodie but we forgot to stop by the shop which I had bought my blue hoodie from, to see if there were any other choices. Oh well, another day I guess. =)

Goodnight people. :)

P/S : Thanks Xin Zhi for helping me yesterday. Appreciate it. It looks much better now. THANK YOU!! =D

Its Simple.

My post has nothing to do with the title. I just didn't know what to put so I just put something that came to mind. hahaha.

So to update you guys on things that has been happening since I haven't updated my blog in a couple of weeks.

I'll start with the little things first. Number 1, I lost my planner!! ='( . Most of my due dates, important dates and list of assignments is in there. Oh wait, was. I have no idea where it went. =S. Loosing my planner means, I have to start from scratch again with the compiling the list of stuff. It isn't really major but just frustrating. >:( .

Going on to the next thing. The weirdest thing just happened, this girl tickled me. well I think she tickled me la cause I was wearing my jacket and well its thick. XD. So anyways, I thought it was my friend, so I turned and was about to say hi, when I noticed its this girl that I don't know. And so I gave her a really blank stare and she like didn't know what to do. She sorta wanted to walk away but didn't know whether she should or what. I could see her hesistating and in the end she just said sorry and walked away. Super weird. hahaha.

Another minor thing, I had this presentation for English. We had to present like an outline for an essay on the novel we wrote and as usual I paired up with the super awesome Leng Hue. I was quite nervous and we'll see whether I did well or not when he gives us back our results. XD. But it was quite fun to kinda see the meaning behind the symbolism behind the book. Tomorrow we'll be presenting on the 3 religions that were in the book. I got Hinduism. Haha. I think I'll learn a couple of things about Hinduism after this. :)

So going on to the bigger things. I have to conduct a survey and collect data which is due on Monday. If anyone's interested in taking a short survey, let me know. =) . Just in case your interested, its about hours spent on electronic entertainment and age.

The next big thing is for my Individuals project, I have my 2nd phase of my Independent Study Unit or Culminating Course Assignment or in simple words, my BIG PROJECT due next week the same time that I have a presentation for my Unit Culminating Assignment, which is a project after each unit. Me and my partner are doing HIV?AIDS in Malaysia. I really hope it goes well and that I finish everything in time. Feeling super unprepared. =S. I actually don't really get what I need to do. XD. I seriosuly need to talk to my lecturer man.


I'm sooooo totally excited about my Malacca trip that I'll be going to on the 3rd and 4th of April. You know why?? Because I'm going with AWESOMELY AWESOME people. Natasha Falina, Evelyn Quek, Sio Leng Hue are superly awesome friends!!! I can't wait to see what non-sense we'll do and how much my stomach will ache from laughing. And I hope some really cute lecturers go too, so I can go stare at them without them noticing. XD. LOL!!! I was seriously joking on that one. hahah. I'm just really psyched about the trip. =D. I hope everything goes well. Hahaha.

Lastly, the CPU (Canadian Pre-U) students are helping out with the Somalian Refugee Centre programme. Its by UNICEF. There are like Somalian kids in Malaysia, who can't receive an education because of some policital shits. So because its a non-profit organization who's doing it, they don't have the money to get all the things that the kids need to properly study and learn. So they are in dire need of books, stationery, or anything they can use to learn. Some students are volunteering by helping teach the kids things like English, Maths and some other subjects. If you guys want to help out you can participate in our activities. Our upcoming events is a BOOK DRIVE. You guys can bring like story books, textbooks, exercise books, stationery, or anything at all that would help the Somalian kids to get an education. We'll be having a activities like a bake sale, fund raisers and stuff like that so look out for them. Leave a comment in my cbox if you're interested in donating anything or if you want to know anything else. =) .

So I guess that's about it. Have a great day people. Bye!!! =D


P/S : I'll be updating my list of Hums In My Head in soon. I'll do it either when I'm more free or when I feel like it. =P. And SPM RESULTS ARE COMING OUT SOON!! =O. Excuse the cacated part on my post. It just doesn't want to be corrected. Very annoying. =.='
