what have I been up to?

I know, I know, it’s quite late to start roving bout my SACE results, but I’m going to anyway, for lack of things to do.

20th december:

To tell the truth, the day before the results were out, I was actually feeling jittery (even though I was telling the rest not to panic and as the saying goes, que séra séra) and to this day I have no idea why. Not that I think that I would do badly (below 90 isn’t exactly bad now is it, considering my raw score for forecast is 81) or that I wouldn’t make it into Monash (which I was feeling pretty optimistic about) so what was going through my mind right then? @___@ *feels confused*

Rolled around in bed thinking of how results were gonna be out next day, and for cripes’ sake I couldn’t sleep. It took me by surprise as I usually wouldn’t bother about it. I mean, it’s too late to freak about it a month after I’ve taken the exam right? My train of thoughts right then was, “I can check the results online…But I really don’t want tooooo~ Come on and hurry up already, 21st December, I want to get this over with… ”

21st december:

This had to be the best. I woke up to my mom yelling at korg for not settling the registration of his subjects. And since we didn’t send her to work, we didn’t get the car, and waited for my dad to get back to fetch us at bout 10-something, since he happened to be on the way to subang, and needed to drop by home. Furthermore, once we reached subang, korg went to TBS, leaving me with the car, and his defiance to park in Subang Square led him to station the car in front of Melur whilst the campus is within 4 minutes of walking. @__@ talk about agony.

The climb upward to MPH had to be the part of me which said, “Okay, let’s actually get it over with.” And seeing Audrey, sniffing and red-eyed, didn’t exactly help. But I’m not one to stare.

Everything was in a huge white envelope. Didn’t even bother to open it right there and then. I suppose I wanted to take it home and open it. Plan foiled when I saw kenken and alvin outside MPH, threatening to tell me what my score was. @__@ to prevent what people term as spoiler I just tore the envelope open and looked at the certs before his words reached my ears. Whoa. I had quite a bit in that envelope. XD But in the end…

Okay, so I cheated abit. I sure don’t wanna scan the paper. Not my lovely cert XD

I can somehow believe I got a B for IT though... the paper was waay harder than I thought it'd be. And as for Specialist Math, I was surprised that I even got a 16. @__@ And that's that.

After that just dropped by Monash to send in the results..Supposed to go back the next day to get my offer documents. Miss Pui Fong (I guess that’s how you spell it) was really nice~ since I’m not gonna be around for the weekend (gonna be in Miri for christmas) she offered to speed things up =D

The rest of the day was mostly informing parents (of which my dad was happy and my mom was overly estatic) and (yes, believe it or not) playing Sims2 at home. I sound pathetic with this statement. I only picked up cause StarOcean was frustrating me (but its partly my fault anyway, I forgot to save…T__T)

And celebrated at Chili’s. XDXD Sorry korg, I know it’s your birthday hangout, butbutbut…after so long of not going there…. *drools* and I should have had a margarita. *piffety*

That done and over with…XD comes the next fun part. Tong yuen! =D Every 22nd December we must make these little flour balls to celebrate the winter solstice. My bros have the knack of mixing dough (lessee..we had..white, pink, orange and green. Okay, so that makes four.) and so they’re bigger than the normal ones. I had a favourite one, it was pink and white, but it had 2 pink stripes on the top and a pink square at the bottom. Oh well, since I didn’t see it, whoever had it must’ve been lucky. XP I wanted it though.

22nd december:

Met up with my aunt and her family for dinner. Dinner started at eight, and didn’t end till 10-something. I remember there was such a long wait between the first and 2nd course, ti was getting worried; “Hey, you know, I think we’re not having any dinner after this…” which sent me laughing. Despite his bratiness growing to an extreme of the wanting-to-be-cool, he still could come up with blunt childish comments like this.
