I visit a few blogs here and there occasionally and I realise a vast difference between my blogging style and others' blogging style.

I don't know if I'm thinking about things too simply or I just can't express my thoughts properly.

Some people seem to have really deep thoughts. And I love reading those. But I don't think I'll ever produce a post like that. Two basic reasons. One, I don't have that kind of writing capability... I think. Two, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable posting really deep thoughts. But I think it's more of the former. Haha. I'm generally quite an open person. Ask me and you'll have answers, most of the time.

So what is this real you?

Came across this quote which says, "Once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

How do you define real? What makes a person really real?
Personality traits which are more or less ingrained in you?

Does being real (e.g. having some kind of unpleasant personality trait such as being inconsiderate), and someone actually understand you, makes it okay for you to be like that - unpleasant?

Because maybe someone out there actually understands your unpleasantness?

Or does it make all those who acts inconsiderately not real? (to me they're one of the ugliest people) Or these people are real, but it's just that I can't understand or empathise?

Don't know what I'm saying. Nevermind.

What if you're just trying to find people who'd side with you?

Finally, I'm done settling Ahyi's Work Permit stuffs.

My mood is really bad the past few days. I really didn't feel like smiling at all. I felt like I could snap at anyone also. I think it Tuesday night, when my aunt asked me to settle the work permit. And she said it in a way that I die die must do it right now like now and put everything else aside. I'm like, wtf? I have other things which are important too ok.

I also really hate last minute things. This is considered last minute as her work permit is expiring real soon and she's going back to Indo next Monday and at the same time, she has to get it done by then. So I was worrying about not being able to get it done and worrying about some other related stuffs as well.

And at the same time, Finals are here. This stupid thing just came at the wrong time.
I hate it when the adults have to inconvenience me like that just because they procrastinated on it.

I ABHOR last minute stuffs that will inconvenience me.

What, is this what you call life?

I guess so. But it still does piss me off even though I acknowledge this fact.

My 2nd motto in life: Don't procrastinate and inconvenience others.

But anyway, I'm done. Just got it settled just now. Brought Ahyi to MOM and blahblah.
DONE. Just needa wait for the card to be delivered to our house.

Time to studyyyy D:

One of my greatest take away from our relationship is: Actions speak louder than words

:)

There is no need for 'I love you's to know that one is treasured.

I feel ultra satisfied today! #auntiettm
I bought 8 violin books and a violin case and in total, I spent $88.25!
How cheaaaaaaaaaapppp is that. Omg can't believe it. Thanks to the 30th Anniversary Sale at Gramercy this holiday! If anyone needs any music books, THIS IS THE TIME TO GET 'EM! 35% sales now, until 30th November! HAHAHA.

I'm like helping them to advertise.

I went for violin class alone today because my partner isn't free. Hmm, I don't like days when I have to go alone. I feel awkward playing alone because I'm so used to having another person play with me. Anyway, I decided to ask my violin teacher about our "standard" and if we're learning too slow for a Grade 7 student. And yep, she said that speed wise, we're a little slow. But techniques wise, we're more or less okay.

Sigh D: I think it's very true. The pieces should be played at about 120 beats per minute, but when we practise, we're always playing them at about 60-80 beats per minute. Which is way way way way way slower. Sigh, I feel bad because I haven't been practising much either. And I guess that's why I can't play fast because I'm not used to the notes and the pieces.

Sigh, I feel like I'm still in Grade 4. Technically I am and that's my qualification at this point. Haha because that's the last exam that I took and passed (pretty well!).

GRADE 7 ALREADY. ERMAHGAWD. I don't feel like one. And I suck at playing anything. GRADE 7 ALREADY. ERMAHGAWD. I need a new violin. Like a good violin. My teacher recommended me to get a 1-2k priced violin. WHERE TO GET THE MONEY?! Lol I'm poor like dog now. But yea, I should save up! Hopefully bit by bit and then by next year July or so, I can get a new violin :)

Maybe 10 bucks a week? You think it's possible? And then I can top up the rest with my savings when the time comes?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THE END $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Haha it's funny how Thai isn't my core module but it's the only module that can make me sad for now. Just concluded Oral. Hmmmm. My performance wasn't good at all. At the end of the session, the examiners will provide feedback. Like they'll tell us what we pronounced wrongly, or which sentences were wrongly structured etc. And the comments that she gave were all directed at me. I made way too many mistakes during the conversation that I had with my partner.

Sigh. I just hope it wouldn't affect my partner's results too much. She did great!

And sigh. Maybe my A will fly away.

Because the bell curve for Thai 1 is a really steep one.

Gotta buck up for tomorrow's Finals. It's my last chance...

I'm getting really boring (don't know if I've ever been interesting in the first place). My posts are all about Thai or studies. LOL! But well, that's about my life for now. Chill days~

OH. I had dinner/tea/idk-what-we-had with SY and Nic on Monday night at Seoul Yummy! Wheee~ Korean food! The food was okay I guess! We did lots of discussion about Hak and we have decided on the groupings :D Woohoooooo! I'm curious how our dining group will turn out. I mean chemistry wise~ As the day goes by, I look forward to going to Laos more and more! :)

9 to 10+ degrees Celsius! Here I come! Well, not now but soon.

Happy Week 13! ^^

I feel really happy today :)
Hahaha like I could jump down cuz my life is almost complete. Okay it's kind of an exaggeration to say that my life is complete just cuz of some results, but they make me really happy!

Got back my Thai listening quiz during lecture just now morning and I've gotten full marks again ^^ I think I'm gonna get 24.375 for 25% of my CA marks, provided that I will get full marks for today's writing quiz! I think I'm only doing quite well for this component though. Other CA components are kinda normal..! I suddenly feel like I could have done so much better. Ok, not gonna be greedy and just be happy for now!

ฉันดีใจมาก ^^

And and for Clinical Psy mid terms, my result is above average! Not sure what's the SD but it's one of the rarest occasions that I've ever gotten above average results. The results were out a few days ago but I was too afraid to check it until today! I was thinking that even if I didn't do well for Clinical psy, I wouldn't be too sad because I'm too happy with my Thai results. Haha.

And and today also marks the end of my project/presentations for the sem :)

So many things to be happy about!

I must jiayou even more~! Finals is my only chance to maintain these results or do even better. Gotta improve my CAP! CAP is definitely not the most important thing to me right now, but I do want to do as well as I can! Gan batte!

Hope everyone is surviving fine in week 12!

It's already Week 12!

And soon, finals will be here. 
Just wanna say that I haven't been using my time wisely. Honestly I think I have a lot of free time but I'm always spending those time on random things like watching shows, PLAYING TSUM TSUM -_-, hanging out on Facebook, cleaning up my desk and work area, learning to cook stuff etc etc. Basically all the random things you can think of. 

So some of the thingy I tried cooking: 

 Ultra delicious seaweed soup! (surprisingly and am proud of it!)

Aglio Olio with bacon!

I'm left with two presentations this week! And next week there'll be Thai Oral and Finals.
Somehow I'm quite chill about all these stuff. Don't know why. 

Usually when I have presentations, I'll be super panicky and stressed up. But this time I'm okay leh. I wonder whyyyyyy. Okay, maybe I'm slightly scared for oral test :/ My Thai speaking isn't that good :/ Hmmm. Today our tutor tried to encourage me though. She was asking people to take Thai 2 and I was like, "No... I see first..." And then she said "No Vivi, I know you can do it." 

Don't know if she says this to everyone hahahaha, but still, I felt a little encouraged by her words :) Like there was a part of her that believed in me. HAHA. 

I have really high expectations for Thai. Considering that I'm not doing well in Psy, I really need my UEs to pull up my grades. And results from the Thai tests had been promising. *fingers crossed* and hopefully I can maintain those grades till orals and finals..! 

โชคดี Chook dii~
