Die Lah Sure Fail
April 25th, 2007
for people like me, one of the worst fears imaginable is to bolt out of bed in the morning and realize that they’ve overslept and missed an exam.
heheh no lah i didnt miss an exam - choi touch wood touch wood - but i thought i did, because the alarm didnt go off (pinkpau lingo for it went off, i just put it on snooze so many times, it eventually stopped snoozing) and i woke up to the sounds of heavy urgent banging on my door and screams of ‘bangun, bangun!’ (wake up, wake up!). in hindsight, i wonder why my first thought was, ‘SHIT i missed my exam!!!’, instead of thinking there was an emergency or a fire or an alien invasion. sigh, how nice my Kakak is; she knew i had an exam and was worried i would oversleep, so she took it upon herself to scare the living daylights out of me. -__-
my politics finals is in about 3 hours. disgustingly, i find that i cannot wait to take the paper as well as my econs finals tomorrow. what’s wrong with me? why do i like taking exams so much? where did my parents go wrong? am i normal? but i’m also looking forward to the end of my finals (simultaneously the end of my semester), after which i’m taking a 3-month break to do whatever the hell i want. yay! but maklumlah, since i like taking exams so much, 1 month of that will be dedicated to studying for my SAT, hahaha.
okay i’m not really as nerdy as i sound. just damn kiasu that’s all.
over the past week, i’ve gotten a few emails and comments about why there aren’t anymore pictures in my blog. wei why you all like that =( my writing is not enough for you issit? i cant write issit? eh actually, it is in fact the truth that i cannot write; i recently took my TOEFL (english as foreign language exam), and it’s divided into 4 sections - reading, writing, speaking and listening. so i got full scores for all sections, except one in which i lost two marks. YEAH APPARENTLY I CANNOT WRITE IN ENGLISH. -_____-
okie dokie since i’m retarded and cannot write, i wont torture you with anymore of my pre-school vocabulary or sentence structure abilities. i’m just going to put up some photos for your viewing pleasure. because you know, putting up pictures no need to write anything wan.

remember the cabbie i blogged about here? yeah the one who sang songs for me and told me to have more sex? it turns out he’s Kevin The Beaver’s father’s childhood friend, and Beaver sent me this photo of himself and the cabbie during Beaver’s bro’s wedding dinner -___- the world is too small.

8. Jay | April 25th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
A few things.
1. Why’d you take the TOEFL? (I’m assuming you went to an English High School and Taylor teaches in English)
2. 1 month of the SATs? Hmm..idk how much different the new SATs are, but a month seems kinda short.
3. Good Luck on your finals
4. Ever since I subscribed to your RSS feeds, I feel so sorry for you and the amount of SPAM you get on this blog.
9. k0k | April 25th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Yea… Some GUY died in Heroes ep 19.
It would be fun if you actually write a whole post with pre-school vocab and sentence structures. C’mon… I dare you!

Don’t worry, you write damn well.. in fact, a gazillion times better than I do. I’m just too lazy to squint my eyes to read all those tiny tiny words so just tengok gambar only :P
16. pinkpau | April 26th, 2007 at 12:32 am
vvens : thank u! 2 more papers =(
joey : ya expected oredi! sigh!
nick : hi nick, yep im in taylors but i dont go to the comm school. however i do think it’s a good place to go if you intend to do mass comm, even more so if u plan to start your career locally instead of abroad. their fieldwork is superb, they really show u the ropes, not to mention they’ve got excellent contacts which would be good for ur network in the future. however keep in mind its only a diploma at the end of the day, and u may want to further that with a 3+1 to obtain a degree! all the best :)
superchuan : thanks :) 2 more to go, im kinda nervous and unprepared.
ben : im the ONLY pinkpau! got one cetak rompak pinkpau on friendster and a few on some forums tho =( them copycats. wei dont jinx my sat.. im going to study damn hard for it. and YA got writing!! how lah how lah i have language abilities of a 5 yr old
jon lim : 1. dark blue, 2. only if its not artificial colouring! 3. be independent, boy! 4. hehe 5sc1 wat.. kiasuness is in our BLOOD!
jay : 1. toefl is a requisite for malaysians who wanna study in the states! 2. arghhh 1 month is short?? i dont actually HAVE one month to prepare =( just a little under 2 weeks! is that really not enough? if so i’m going to defer to the october test date. 3. thank u! 2 more papers and im done. 4. I KNOW, RIGHT -___- 5. heroes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
k0k : if i didnt already know who died i would kill u for spoiling things for me!
eric : ya he’s in wsu! no lah he doesnt look like a beaver but there are so many kevins and kevin lows that i have to call him something more special coz he’s my favourite kevin!!
bs : alaaa i dont do it on purpose!
therealanon : that good meh? i was disappointed. everything was very unsurprising
sambal : why u hungry coz im hot?
foreverjas : dont forget TOEFL says i cant write :P
justanothertragedy : u lah! one of those ppl bising not pictures! grrr!

Try out this Practice exam from ETS.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/prep_one/test.html
Judge if two week are enough based on the score you get with this.
18. TheRealAnonymous | April 26th, 2007 at 1:04 am
ahaha… well, I’d say… its a lot of fun watching together with other people who happens to also be a heroes fan. Watching alone wouldn’t be fun man… =p
btw… u neglected my reply on ur last posting leh! =p *hmmpf*
19. Adrian C | April 26th, 2007 at 8:49 am

20. ria | April 26th, 2007 at 9:56 am
“bangon” in Tagalog translates to get up or wake up. =) useless trivia. hehe. good luck with your paper! and i totally disagree, you write fabulous my dear. as i’ve said before, you can make a living out of it! =)
21. Lynn | April 26th, 2007 at 10:01 am

22. joey | April 26th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
eh…a bit of side topic ya….for those who haven watch the latest heroes yet..dun read on ya:)
the part where sylar gains mendez’s power and starts painting the future…in the pic supposely shows nathan as president rite….but wo…the guy in the pic looks kinda different from the original painting…dun think its nathan……
23. Jay | April 26th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Joey : It’s Nathan, but the way I saw it, it’s Nathan in hi s office looking disappointed or sadden, most likely due to the explosion or the number of deaths or someone he knows dying.
24. jeremy | April 26th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
hey… really liked the picture with the caption “boys chilling and talking about boy things.” not because i like boys but i just thought it was cool. post more pictures… at the same time don’t ever stop writing.
just dropped by…
25. MichelleSY | April 26th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
How freaky was that thing with that cabbie and Kevin the Beaver’s dad?
And I love your writing (love your pics too cos I like my pics vibrant and oversaturated and uniquely angled) but love your prose more =)
26. darkhello | April 26th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
*smacks pinkpau*
ZOMG you almost got a perfect score for TOEFL!! If that’s not good I don’t know what is!!! Kiasu-nya!! :P
Twas nice bumping you into starbucks! although I felt like me and annspam were ostracizing you. Sorry sorry. Didn’t intend it to be that way though.
I actually like your writing more than your pics, ahaha! It’s a blog anyway, not a photolog!
Hope your politics exam went well ;)
27. passerby | April 26th, 2007 at 7:37 pm

lol just joking
you are studying politics! sounds interesting, so are you gonna be a politician??
28. k0k | April 26th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

29. Michelle | April 26th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
Perfect score for TOEFL except writing. That’s like I’m dreaming if I have obtained such scores. Eventually, I will be taking IELTS.
P/S Have you tried the latest Banana Java Chip Starbucks Drink yet? And I love your words better than the pictures despite the regular saying of how pictures paint a thousand words.
30. pinkpau | April 27th, 2007 at 12:49 am
