History repeats itself

Guess what?
I was down with tummy cramps on Monday.
And this wasn't just any of your typical cramps....It's the type that goes all the way down to your hips,and then right to your toes. It is also accompanied by severe muscle aches and it feels like your legs are so wobbly that its gonna collapse.
Seriously, it was that critical.
Or perhaps its just me?

But,I suppose if you are of the gentler species,as in females, you'd understand better.

I actually decided to get out of the house to study...you know.....get some fresh air,away from the distractions at home.. and at the same time get help for the maths sums I'm stuck with.So i headed to Starbucks with Josh. I even bought hot chocolate since it's kinda therapeutic in a sense. Also, it's my fav! lol.
All was well until a certain point when the pain started coming...And it just got so terrible that I was groaning about it every few mins. Cuz its the type of pain that comes and go..comes and go...and then returns again...and the worse part is you can't do much bout it apart from praying and massaging.
Finally, i couldn't take it and we had to rush home.

I got my share of rest and I felt better after the nap...but the cramp was still there,although not as excruciating as before.Eventually, i decided to take a pill to ease the pain.

The next morning, it was still painful...and even this morning. But towards the afternoon, the pain somehow fades. The funny thing is, having cramps for consecutive days have never happened before.This is the first if im not mistaken. WEIRD.

What i'm really hoping is that this thing won't happen next month this time..cuz that's when STPM is commencing. Really praying hard that i'll be in tip top condition during the exam period.
Seriously had enough of aches,pains,cramps,vomit...bla bla bla...

God, please restore my health to back to normal.
I know and trust that you will. =)

P/S: Yippie!Mum says she is bringing back pizzas for supper! yummmm!

MUET Speaking Test

Praise God that the MUET Speaking Test earlier this morning went on pretty fine. That's why I'm online at home now. =D Some of my friends are still going through the battle now.

My group was the first to sit for the test today,since I'm the first person in my class' name list and my members are the last few from Clancy...

Felt quite nervous and jittery. And my stomach began to churn..you know..the usual butterflies in the stomach phenomenon.Haha.

Anyway the examiners were really lovely people.Not at all intimidating. Well, that helped me relax a lil'. Phew. My individual 2 mins presentation was pretty alright, at least I felt I did okay...hmm..The group presentation was also okay.And this time round, all the group members had equal opportunities to voice out their ideas. Although I have to admit that I felt like I didn't get to talk as much as the previous practices, but this time's discussion was more.........more....balanced,in a sense.

At the end of it, we had two conclusions instead of one. I suppose that's ok right?
Well, hopefully I will be able to achieve my target for MUET.=) Really hoping and praying for the best now.

Final days as a High School Student

Time for some updates.=) Been quite some time i know..teehee..

Well, school life is really coming to an end for me and my fellow comrades in Upper Six...although I'm technically no longer a high school student except that we still have to wear uniforms.LOL. Only one day left,which is on Friday,for class party. And that is the end.THE END. We only have to go back on the 30th this month for Graduation Ceremony. Can hardly believe it! As cliche as this sounds, time really flies......

Somehow,I know I'm gonna miss many things that I've been through for the past 1 and a half years in MBS..be it the teachers,friends,environment or even the school itself. Sounds bizarre to be missing even the school huh? But I can already feeling the nostalgia sinking in. =/

Gotta and gonna cherish the final days left! Cuz we all know after graduation, its really hard to meet up often especially when each of us have different commitments right?

********

Today was the 2nd last day of the school and the assembly was unusually long..not to mention the weather was bleaching hot. And we stood till our legs felt all wobbly and weak. Lol. There were also many certificates and prizes given out today since its technically the last assembly of the year for some of us. Certs given out to top achievers in SPM and STPM trial exam, Nilam reading programme,some clubs and societies thingy,Lambs Challenge Trophy, University of New South Wales competition,etc. Then we sang the school song before everything finally ended...why am i talking about all these? Haha

On another more important note..haha.. I'm really grateful and thankful to the Lord for blessing me with a Distinction in English for the University of New South Wales competition for schools in Malaysia. Also, I'm really happy and equally as shocked that i got Merit in Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan ( National Chemistry Quiz). Totally unexpected. Honestly, I don't think I deserve it cuz people who consistently scored higher than me in chem didn't get it...this seriously baffles me. And I remember I couldn't even answer half of the questions in the paper cuz it was freaking tough..Weird..I thought maybe there was some mistakes somewhere...

Well,what can i say? But I'm just really THANKFUL to the Lord for His blessings. It's really not accomplished by my own strength nor efforts but by His grace. Really, really amazed at His goodness. Praise Him!

********

Actually I was down with fever yesterday but I'm much better now..Was very worried cuz I'm having MUET Speaking Test on Wednesday and I was afraid that if i have sorethroat, it would jeopardize my entire group! Everyone's marks will be affected. So i prayed hard that I would recover quickly and praise God that my fever has completely subsided. =D

I wonder why I keep falling sick this year.

I've never been admitted to the school office for more than 3 times per year,but i broke the record this year.*gasp*

Just last week, I had severe headache and starting vomiting in the toilet...Previously, the same happened on the same day when Biology exam was on. So i had no choice but to sit for my exam in teacher's office..just in case i need to rush to the toilet. And I'm constantly down with fever or aches in my body this year. Never had it occured so frequently before!

Many say its due to stress stress stress...and I guess that's true. STPM can drive you nuts! 2nd toughest exam in the World ma... Glad that it's coming to an end though! hahahhahahahaha.

Lookin' forward to post-STPM life. =)
