ROSIE's BDAY, and the END OF EXAMS!Stats was awful but after all those revision classes it was more bearable. I could actually do binomial distribution stuff. My only problem with the exam paper was the explaining bits, like the 'explanatory variable' and 'response variable.'
So now I'm free to do what I like. I got gossip girl yesterday so I've got to catch up on an entire season. I think I might change my blog layout when I find the time to, or get the inspiration.
Rosie's bday was on yesterday at cheesebox, and this time I decided to bring my camera along. Haven't used it in ages.
The cake Ling made, yummy.
The birthday girl who turned 1-6.
WW. I have always wanted to do a photo like this. Weiwen met Rain at cheesebox yesterday, no kidding. He served us food.

physics today, one more to go! I'm so relieved, no ray diagrams (eventhough I was actually prepared for them this time!) Just stats to go, the only thing remaining between now and prom.
so. I'm not on tv like i would have liked to be. I'm on my sister's computer, hogging it actually because my computer has died on me AGAIN! It switches on but the screen doesn't light up. There goes all the music I downloaded :(
I really need a glossy mag to occupy myself now. Lately I've been hooked on some really random fashion blogs/websites.
FOR EXAMPLE:
lookbook.nu
but really, it only reminds me of things that i would love to have in my wardrobe. I covet too much. Plus, it's good inspiration for outfits. 90's inspired, vintage and futurist, grunge and rock and roll. the photos are amazing.
gofugyourself.com is the best because of the snazzy way the writer describes celeb fashion faux-pas. the best part is she actually agrees that taylor momsen is taking the grunge trend too far.
foreign blogs are good. here are a couple.
swedish:

see that dress on the frontpage, the 'die another day' dress? I was hoping that I could find a dress like that, about that colour to go with this midnight blue nailpolish I got awhile ago. But no such luck. It's Brunei and they don't sell things like these here.
here's some EYE CANDY. structured dresses from Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall, Fall 09. Inspired by 'the repetitive skyline of (her) new home-base, New York City, and the fantasy of glamour that one has when moving to a big metropolis.'
Something about this colour palette- purples, greys and gold makes me think of Burberry. On the other hand it looks almost sculptural, like Constructivism. [more
here.]
Okay. Back to revising two year's worth of stats. One more exam to go, then I'll be able to do nothing all day and perhaps watch Gossip Girl Season 2 and go on facebook and do some art and maybe go out... the list could basically go on.

This is basically the 3/4 point in my exams, 3 more to go!!
Just physics, geo and stats to go.
The exams have been pretty much okay I'm scared for geo as there are huge amounts of things that need memorising. I am seriously scared. For paper 1, I don't think it was my best paper. I pretty much gave half-assed answers.
The exams have reduced me to a procastinating freak who studies a few hours before or on the day of the exam itself. This is because they are all at night. And basically I am blogging now because my mind is so active that I can't sleep. I swear, on the night of my maths exam I spent the whole night factorising algebraic expressions in my sleep. freak, much.
On a happier note, prom is coming up, and I'm so very excited :D
PS: gotta change my blog layout, this layout is starting to look BORRINGG
GCSEs, almost over. I can't wait till

EDEXCEL music listening exam 1426
Wednesday, May 13, 2009,10:31 PM
first impression, UGH
my brain shut down towards the end of the paper. couldn't tell what device was being used on the piano Grisabella the Glamour Cat in AOS#4(tremolo i'm guessing)
the african section was so very-very hard.
what is an idiophone, membranophone, chordophone and aerophone?
just googled it. and so wikipedia says:
Hornbostel-Sachs (or Sachs-Hornbostel) is a system of musical instrument classification devised by Erich Moritz von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs, and first published in the Zeitschrift für Ethnologie in 1914. An English translation was published in the Galpin Society Journal in 1961. It is the most widely used system for classifying musical instruments by ethnomusicologists and organologists (people who study musical instruments).
definitely not in the syllabus. click
here to find out more on this instrument classification.
there was a nice song though. Thank goodness for brit-pop in the listening paper. temporary relief- everyone felt the beat.
it's by
BLUR- it's called
Song 2.It's just one of those exams when you walk out and begin to doubt that you put down anything correct on the paper. Hit or miss.
on a happier note,
BYE GCSE MUSIC! :D
I'm back to listening to music without bothering about instrumental techniques and devices.Labels: exams, music

The next time we have an assembly, we'll be in year twelve.
My first exam is on the thirteenth which is 6 days away. (jeepers) It's music listening and I can't really say I've covered it thoroughly, the past papers always manage to trick me into giving the wrong answer.
I might be going on a
hiatus.
But I might occasionally come back, to blog about
random things, or just write
a sentence.
Or to blog about these things, such as the
AUDI FASHION FESTIVAL in SINGAPORE.
yes,
marc jacobs and vivienne westwood and christian lacroix are in singapore.
like joan said, 'I want to watch a fashion show.'
so near yet so far.

i'm really supposed to be a happy bunny now that my art exam has finished, but there are still more exams to come. I would show you the final piece, but I'm lazy.
have you watched susan boyle from britain's got talent? She can really sing. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Exams are finally over but getting the results will probably be worse. I don't think I thoroughly revised everything, especially maths. I BLAME IT ON THE ELECTRICITY. Try studying maths by candlelight. Not romantic at all.
Last day of school was cool though, we went to Rosie's house and we watched Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Finally watched it, the DVD itself has been lying on my study desk since I bought it and it's still in its plastic bag. Eventually I brought it along with me to M'sia for Chinese New Year and watched it again the second time with subtitles on to hear every single thing. (The first time I watched it, there was a running commentary going on- actually more of a debate- on whether Aaron Johnson was hot or not with his high-pitched voice.)
Because of this movie, I've put Toothpaste Kisses on repeat on Windows Media Player. Also, who thinks that Jas looks like Jess, the girl in Yr8 who plays flute in the orchestra?
Chinese New Year was brill but the mosquitoes played tic-tac-toe on my arms and legs again. I'm probably not going to wear shorts out for awhile, because the mosquito bites look like huge red birthmarks. I'm done with unpacking now but I could really use some lazy blog-surfing time right now, and perhaps maybe download a few new songs into my mp3.

today's finally over: the day on which have the most exams. From tomorrow onwards it should be easy(ier)-going.
There's even time for procastination, actually.MONIQUE LHUILLIER, pre-fall 2009.
from
nymag. One-shoulder, or strapless? I love the midnight blue dress, but it's too flamboyant for prom and I probably won't be able to hold it up either.

I swear, I am losing my mind.I lost the extension to plug my mp3 into my laptop. My mind is playing tricks on me, I'm running up and down the stairs as my mind tells me it might be here, it might be there. I need it for art, how am I going to survive 5 hours of non-stop artwork and no talking?
I'm scared about my art exam, I don't know what composition to use, don't know if my digital processing program will work. I don't know if the weather will be fine today, fine enought for me to take photos.
This morning I woke up at 5.30am to take sunrise at Kampong Ayer. Now I hope to take a sunset at 6.30pm at Muara Beach. Hope the weather doesn't mess up. Hope everything works out fine tomorrow.
