Third week of college!

Oh hai. Well I've found time to blog! Survived a four hour English Lit class yesterday, go me! I'm actually gonna be super busy today I have bio and a ton of math homework, plus we have a bio test to study for tomorrow. Gah.. But I'm kind of slacking now cuz we were actually supposed to go to the SPCA for community service today but one of us couldn't make it so we decided not to go. So yeah, I've been up since 6.40 am for nothing. Roommate has gone to church and I'm all alone in the room!

I think it's appropriate that I'm slacking on a Sunday anyway.

So I've been practising a super unhealthy lifestyle lately! And my skin is hating me for it. Yesterday my meals were bread, roti canai, a burger and a doughnut. Carbs overload much? And all unhealthy ones lol. Eeeesh.

By the way I went to see The Dark Knight Rises yesterday! Wheeee. It was super epic but not so much humour at all. Unlike Men In Black which was like a comedy all the way lol. The only parts which made me laugh were where Batman just looked so LAME. Gosh he's my least favourite superhero character. Seriously. Oh and the fact that the movie literally lasted THREE HOURS. O_____O

Anyway we have Midsummer Masquerade coming up this Friday. Originally I wanted to go buy a dress but I decided against it so I bought a ton of eyeliner yesterday WTHHH. I don't even know what I was thinking I'm such an impulse buyer. Oh gosh. Cuz I didn't bring any makeup with me and since I wasn't going to be wearing anything crazy, it seemed logical to splurge on makeup at the time.

I didn't even need this but yeah. RM26.90. It's kinda cool actually smells like berries! :D yum. 

 Yup.. I got three freaking eyeliners. Two from Maybelline one from Rimmel. 
Total cost around RM50 @@

Got home super late last night and we all went into the master bedroom. Somehow ended up stalking and comparing pretty girls on Facebook lolol and then started playing around with makeup. Hilarious. Did one of the girls' eyeliner and she looks so sexy with eyeliner! HAHA. For once nobody was studying!

By the way, I'm almost totally broke. Time to tighten ze belt and eat more bread with peanut butter for meals. *pouts*

 Le lonely morning me, just 'cause.

Kay-elle in the morning! Sorry for the bars, it's the safety balcony thingy which we can't access lolol.


I forgot to mention over here! I actually passed both my ATCL diplomas! O_O And remember how I was 99% sure I was going to fail my cello? I freaking got 76/100 for it, higher than piano which was only 71/100. Gosh. My mind is totally blown, how that happened. Anyway, I still consider it a fake pass, cuz I know I didn't deserve it.

Gah.. anyways that's it. I'll be going home this weekend and next weekend as well. Gotta lug my cello back cuz I'm taking the train *groans*

Piano and Game of Thrones!

Well hello. Been having the most laid back of days since Monday. You'd think I'd be totally carefree as I've been on holiday since December, but not really; I've had the pressure and guilt from not practising these past few months that I can't relax properly.

SO. All exams are officially OVER. I'm taking a break since I won't be having a cello lesson this week or next week hehe. Waking up late, reading and going online every day all day gosh.

I'll talk about the piano exam! I totally forgot to bring my photocopies for the examiner and had to ask mum to fetch them for me *smh* Got shouted at quite a bit. =,= Talked to a dad who brought his daughter all the way from Sitiawan to take the exam lol.

So I think I did okay for this one, at least I'll probably pass. Well hopefully. All fingers crossed! Definitely made my fair share of mistakes, but I think only one serious breakdown where I played the whole passage one octave higher then stopped in confusion. *smh again* Like, seriously Faith?lol. And when I finished and took my foot off the pedal, my shoe decided to part with the foot and stay where it was lolol. Brenda and I laughed a bit but it wouldn't have been funny if I was on a real stage! :O

Well I think I'll pass one ATCL exam, at least. :S

Brenda page turned for me and Joee for Cheryl :)

With Miss Maria, our piano teacher :) yay for my wonky dress!



Hmmm.. So I'm currently obsessed with the Game of Thrones series! I'm almost done with A Clash of Kings, the second book of the series. Just went out and got the third book from MPH! RM34.90 but worth it, totally worth it. I was so afraid of finishing the second book before I got the third book! Looks like I'm gonna be abandoning all the rest of the unread books on my bookshelf for this series.

And I'm watching the HBO tv show on the Game of Thrones as well! Ten episodes per season and I'm on the fifth episode already. Just started watching them today some more aiyo tell me obsessed or not. Although I must admit I can't remember every single thing from the books. It's so complicated with all the hundreds of names and places wth. Expected lah from a male author.

I.. *ahem* torrented the tv show btw. They'll never show it in M'sia because of the nudity and stuff lol.



If you're curious to know what this whole series is about, watch this review! She, surprisingly, explains it so well without any spoilers! I hate spoilers and I never read the back of books because more often than not there will be spoilers there =,=

I get why Daenerys Targaryen is her favourite character because since watching the show I love her and she watched the show before reading the book. But just from the book, my favourite character is definitely Arya Stark. Awesomest girl ever, hello! Daenerys would be a close second though.

So if you're looking for a new series to read, pick up the Game of Thrones! You won't be disappointed, I promise :)

Leetle update.

Ah hello. Update here. :)

So things were super crazy for the past few days. Went down to KL again for my lesson and did a little shopping as well, i mean of course right.

And naturally, I had to buy some food. Or.. sweets.

Then had programme books to finish for my exams! All that searching for info and stuff, besides trying to figure how to make a booklet with Microsoft Word, on mum's laptop. Literally been three years since I've really used Microsoft Word. Agh I'm so behind on the techy stuff now. Old ady lolol. Decided to take pics of the mock-ups just for fun :)






Well Form 6 started. Just to clear things up, I didn't go haha. Planned on going originally, but too much of a hassle yeah. So I'm just gonna stay at home until August. Whoopee. I'll be so much more stress free once my piano exam's done next Monday!

Speaking of exams... Cello exam was yesterday and it did not go well. I'm 99.9% sure I failed and it's not an exaggeration. My playing isn't even that flawless to begin with and the pianist kept playing the wrong notes and couldn't keep up with me throughout the whole exam. He even turned to the wrong page and played by memory wth. Soo distracting. :( Needless to say I played far worse than normal, with 'normal' being not too great anyways. Didn't help that my cello was being way scratchy too. Sigh got scolded by mum for not asking the more famous accompanists in Ipoh to accompany me. Wasted all that money heart pain man.

Told my teacher about it and he was like, ahh but you only started preparing a couple months before the exam, if you get through it you're a genius. Trying to console me onlyyyy few weeks ago he told me it was no problem. Gah. And now I'm totally not practicing for piano because compared to cello, I'm super well prepared. Not that I really am.. it just feels like it. :X

SO. Anyways. Check out this awesome girl with her cosplay channel! I couldn't do what she did even if you gave me ten years. Serious. Just watch it haha.



Hmm and I signed up for Nuffnang the other day. Like.. okay I know no one's gonna click the ads but just for fun right :D

Gonna go practise for half an hour now. See ya later blogger ;)

ATCL ATCL ATCL

Aghh dip exams are two weeks away. I'm not half ready for cello yet dammit. But still hoping that I'll scrape a pass for piano at least. Brenda's gonna page turn for me. Yay! She came over this morning and we had a long chat. I guess she's the only person I'll feel totally comfortable about in the exam room.

Don't really feel like practising the cello anymore. It's become such a chore since my teacher told me that I have to practise at least 4-5 hours a day. Like wth I'll not have a life left! Just been forcing myself to pick up that cello for two hours a day. And even that feels too much =_=




And this 7 year old can play this piece much better than I can. Urrghhh.


Watched the latest Glee episode (I know I'm late k) and it's kinda inspiring :) Especially love their version of Stronger by Kelly Clarkson!

Oh oh and I finished reading A Game of Thrones! It was awesome aside from the fact that there are SO many names to remember. Gotta admit I hardly know which side all the knights are on most of the time. But still, great book. Just started on A Clash of Kings! :D

Skipped cello practice for today since I had a long nap which I haven't done in ages. Undeserved break and shh don't tell on me ;) I'm guilty enough as it is. My life kinda revolves around music at this point and to be honest, I'm not enjoying it too much.

I'll update again after this weekend. Toodles!
