End of First Year First Semester Tests! - Part #1: Devastation...):

BOOYA!

its my first time posting via my lappie. KEKE!

FINALLY, its over. :DD my End Semester Tests are finally over. Recap, i had 3 papers. the first paper was Principle of Management (POM) on Friday (24Aug) which was in the morning at Temasek Convention Centre (TCC), then we had the weekend to prepare and rest. Yesterday (27Aug), i had my Microeconomics paper. and tbh, im having mixed feelings abt Microecons paper. on one hand i'm pretty happy cause the test is FINALLY over. On another hand, I'm kinda troubled cause although I did manage to complete the paper, I did have some difficulties while doing the paper... Like for some questions I had certain doubts in my answers. And on another hand, I'm super sad, cause this will mean that there will no longer be anymore Microeconomic lecture or tutorial! That means the most awesome lecturer and tutor (I swear, that is the total truth!) will no longer be teaching me! ):

Super sad that next semester, mr Vincent Lim won't be teaching Macroeconomics...):

okay, to be honest, typing on a keyboard is kind of hard as there is no autocorrect and long period staying away from the keyboard has rendered my fingers no longer as agile as before... /: AND ALSO, I'm unable to type neither Japanese, Chinese nor Korean *le sigh.

But, I really do feel that if I don't blog now, when I crawl on my bed, I will most likely be so lazy that I won't even bother to blog. So I rather keep my blog alive and endure my awkward typing...):

anyway, back to topic. Today was my core paper. Meaning it was the test for my core subject. Each course will have different core subject and in order to be promoted, one must first pass that core subject. If you fail, well... I'm not to sure about this... I did not listen to this part... /: but it definitely ain't nice if you fail any subjects (especially your core subject) on your first year first term. For Accounting and Finance, as you probably might have already guess, my core subject is Financial Accounting #1. And although I've said that I had little confidence for my other 2 papers. But for this paper, I have really really the minimal confidence I had for any of the papers in my life (NOTE: this is the feeling I felt immediately after the paper ended). I came out feeling super low. Like out of 3 open ended questions, I could only understand and properly do the last question. And to me that was really, super fail. I was so devastated that the word 'accounting' just brought tears to my eyes. I really thought that I should have expected this. Cause compared to my other 2 subjects, I spent the less revision time on Accounting compared to Micro and POM. But I had reasons. Firstly, FA is a practical paper, there was seriously little point in practicing the night before, cause it won't work. Secondly, FA is one of my stronger modules whereas POM I had trouble in remembering the concepts what more understanding. In addition, Micro had the worst grade for my Mid Semester Test (MST). So I felt that I should concentrate more on the other 2...

Maybe I had made a wrong choice with studying so little for FA... but after thinking it over, and have people talking to me, I realized that no matter what, I tried my best doing the questions, I rationalized each answer I was about to fill in and thought carefully about it. For questions that I could not understand, I tried my very best to conjugate a smart guess on the meaning and tried to derive a solution. And most importantly, I left no blanks.

Now, I kind of don't regret that I spent more time on my other 2 subjects. Cause if I had spread my time out evenly among my 3 subjects, I would not have been that prepared for my weaker 2 subjects and might risk skipping out points that might come out in the exam. So, I don't think that I did wrong by placing more priority on my weaker 2 subjects - which happened to be very theory based.

However, I will admit that I could have worked for better time management for revision. Well, everything is a learning lesson. So now, I learnt (the hard way) that I must have proper time management.(:

Around dinner, my brother was telling me that not to worry as it isn't that easy to fail in Polytechnic...Well, I'm not sure how true/accurate that is... But hopefully it's true... /: I already secured an A for coursework, but coursework is 40% so people (including my brother) were reasoning with me that because I made sure I did all the questions, it is impossible for me to get a big fat duck egg. Cause there might be method mark, error-carried forward marks, and (maybe; one can always hope!) leniency mark. And as the last question which I know how to do is where the percentage of the mark laid (Thank God!), so there is still a chance that I can pass with an okay grade. And because I have an 'A' for coursework, so it will average out to be a little better. Which after thinking calmly, I realized that what they have said were pretty true.

Even if it wasn't, what can I do? It is already done. Its not like thinking about it will change what has already happened. The things that happened are already jotted down and is irreversible. Now all I can do is pray and learn from this mistake.

Well, that's all from my depressed post! [ Part#2 - THE afterparty ] will be up shortly(:

JYAN!

Accessory 'King'? :O

HEY ALL!

I'm gonna post again, okay?!(:(: HAHA! Why do I need to ask permission har? HAH! So as you guys prolly know, my brother has just so many (okay, I'm exaggerating) accessories. He's like collecting stuff. He has rings, bangles (plastic one) watches, belts and no, he don't have a ear hole so he don't have ear studs/ring. But that is besides the point. Among my siblings, my brother (kinda like hands down) has the most number of accessories.

And recently this is added to his collection! (picture 1) it's jus this black stone (perhaps its faux onyx?) with a nice simple emerald-like cut. It's really different from how a stone lady's ring will look like. Cause a lady's ring the stone will be cut in a more oval shape to give an impression of elongated fingers (or so I think) HAHA! But at first I thought it was weird and big and wouldn't fit me - both in size and personality. Well the ring size is obviously unable to fit me. Well cause its my brother's ring and without a need to tell, it should be kinda unspoken that the ring wouldn't be fitting instead it was pretty lose. My brother admitted that the actual ring size and the chart they posted online was a lil different. He was like saying that he measured and compared and he was super sure he was a size 10 and he ordered a size 10. So he was like slightly puzzled on why it was too loose for him. I was initially telling him to send it back for either a refund or exchange. But he refused. So what did he do? If it was me, I would just shrug and chuck it at one corner. But not my brother. What he did was he makes a paper cushion-like thing to act as a buffer to fill up the gap between the ring and finger. And surprisingly, it worked well with both our fingers. So I can wear it now and it fits snuggly on top of my knuckle(:

Will I ever ask my brother to lend me the ring? Maybe... Only if I feel like it. (:

Well thats all for me now! I'm gonna take a short nap before waking up and begin on my Microeconomics revision. (:

BLOGGING FRENZY

OH HAI!

Recently (psh, it's only yesterday) I have been blogging a lot in one single day. Well reason being

#1: i hate it when my blog is like stagnant.
Like who likes it? I don't know but definitely not me. Like whenever a new post is up, I feel a adrenaline rush and I feel like I have accomplished something great (although I really didn't) and I crave to do it successfully again. And as crazy as it sounds, writing finish a blogpost gives me THAT much satisfaction! It's insane!

#2: I'm lazy, so since I have the time, why not?
Now, prolly it's a well known fact that I'm a lazy bum. And knowing that, when I actually do feel like doing something, the moment I delay it, the desire won't heighten. Instead, it will just plummet down and crash on the floor. So in my free time, I will be like lying down on the bed, and usually when I'm lazing about, the craving/urge to blog about whatever I wanted to blog about is most likely either gone or not that strong to make me complete a post.

With this 2 reasons at hand, I'm more than encouraged to blog more frequently per day. This is to ensure that its more updated. And since like I have the time, why not? Keke! Well, if I really do blog so frequently there are actually a few advantages. 1) it will be frequently updated 2) the information will be current 3) the feelings about it will be fresh from the heart 4) I won't be that likely to side track!

So if you view it, it's actually a rather win-win situation. And it keeps me occupied and entertained. So why not? HAHA!

Okay, it's running late and I really needa sleep cause there's church tomorrow (or rather, later)! Keke!

Goodnights(:

Confessions of lazygirl95 - Consequences and Milkteas

Have you ever felt like your bone is yelling for you to take a break, your brain telling you to sleep or perhaps your hand telling you to stop writing whatever notes you are doing and just indulge in the comfortable bed that is sitting next beside your study desk?

If you haven't, that's maybe cause you don't study in your room. But for lazygirl95 over here who is super lazy to bring all her notes and pencil and pens and highlighters to the dining room to study and then dispose it back onto my study desk after I'm done with the study session just simply stay put in her comfy room and study.

Well usually it isn't a problem for me. But considering I slept at 3:45am last night. Psh. Shit just got real. I'm so tired that my eyes are forcing itself to not fall shut. I'm even crossing my legs while standing so that my right leg (which apparently is weaker today) can lean on my left leg do that it won't wobble and make me topple.

So now I'm gonna bear the consequence of blogging do late at night and at the same time, administer my remedy: Lipton Milk Tea. Till later folkies!

JYANKENPON!

Feel the goodness! |24Aug 2012|

OH HAI!

Today (or rather yesterday...) was lik an okay day. More to the positive end (:

Well yesterday was the start of the exam period for me. Well for me, I only have 3 papers - Microeconomics, Principle of Management and Financial Accounting 1. Fortunate me. And all three are sorta in running order. Yesterday was day 1, next Monday would be day2 and finally day3 (the final day) wld be on a Tuesday!(:

So today I woke up, brushed up and took bus to school. Today's exam venue was at Temasek Convention Centre (TCC) so instead of alighting at Mushroom, i alighted one stop after mushroom. And don't want to elaborate any further, met up with Carissa, Reneé and JiaHui and headed to TCC. Got seated and exam started.

Managed to complete it in time with 10 minutes to spare. And really thank God that all the stuff that I actually revise/read through remained in the correct compartment and won't mixed up! Praise the Lord! I was super worried cause like POM is the most boring subject of this semester. And even in the morning of the paper, if somebody asked me something in relation to POM, I would most likely just stare at them with the very blank look cause I really really thought I could not remember anything and was close to freaking out. But thank God that when it came to answering the questions, all the answers (that I read up) could come out. Really really praise the Lord! (:

When exam ended, walked out of TCC and met my 언니 by coincidence and we went to school Macdonald to buy drink! I bought my regular Minute Maid Orange Juice (seriously, it's just a scam to make people think that they are drinking a more healthy choice. But are they really drinking a more healthy choice drink? Meh) and 언니 bought Milo. Once that was done, we went to bustop and while walking through market, saw Demas and gang. And as expected, only Demas (or was there more? Don't know, never observe) waved 'Hi&Bye' so I just waved and continued the conversation I was having with my 언니. While waiting for the bus, Demas and the full gang walked towards the bustop. Well not stoping them. I mean this isn't my personal bustop. So they can use it for all I care. Haha! Anyway, bus eventually came, and me and 인니 boarded. Initially I thought they will board too. But turned out, they didn't. Oh well *shrugs.

On the way to interchange, saw Eugene - for the 3rd time in the day - had small talks when bus reached interchange before he alighted.

NOTE: conversations that I had with 언니 either contain hints of mature contents or I just plainly cannot remember.

Reached home just in time to see kor preparing for school. Today he also has a paper. Had small talk, then I went to eat my lunch. Wished him luck then he went off to school and I went to nap. Napped for like 2-3hrs before finally waking up.

After awhile, my 남편이 was like asking me if I took Microeconomics. Then i was like yeah, and she was like asking if she could call me to ask something, and i was okay. So she called, and we chatted for awhile before putting down for her to call me using Viber and 'teach' me some Microeconomics stuf that i was confused about. After clarifying, we hung up and I begun reading fanfiction from the app "Wattpad"

Wattpad is generally like a fanfiction application where people can post and read fanfiction. It's like fanfiction.net, but smaller and have an app. I created an account cause i had to to view the fanfiction. To whoever reading this, of you are interested, go to this website

http://www.wattpad.com

And search for the writer 'lyuhyejin' that's my pen-name for wattpad(:

Anyway, soon it was dinner, had dinner and watched abit of Ju Mong while having a short twitter conversation with 언니 on how bad Ju Mong is in term of common sense and acting. After dad returned with a cake and told me separately that the cake is meant for my mum (and also another church lady) and tell me to tell my siblings that they will be cutting the cake after cell group. And I was like okay(; so when their cell was ending, me along with my siblings began to get ready the cake (for pictures search me up on Instagram @ilovetomatoes).

After eating the cake, I went back to my room and began to sort my photos as it was taking up too much space on my iPhone): and Im like super sad cause some of the legit photos are deleted and I haven't made a copy of it on my PC. I must find a more efficient way of updating the photos not I will seriously cry cause its such a pain in the ass to ensure that I already have this photo on my lappie. And sometimes some legit photos are just deleted cause i missed them out when copying and deleted them without duplicating the picture >:( one example is the photos I took when I changed my spectacles to my current one /: haish):

Also download some songs. Then, prepared to sleep.

Lolol! Now I'm suppose to be sleeping. But I'm blogging! Haha! Shall sleep after this blog is posted! Keke!

Had been a long and rather positive day! Super glad! Keke! :DD

Shall end this post with a family picture!(:

JYAN!

MON NOM

I have a Korean name now! Haha! Me and Priscina came out with it. (: it's called 류혜진. Haha! I had a rather tough time trying to think out of a name. A Korean name especially. Cause firstly I do not knw anything abt the Korean language. And secondly I want it to match my actually name. So aft mch deliberation, I finally decided to settle fr the name 류혜진 (Ryu Hye Jin). When written in hanja will be 柳惠眞. Keke!

Now why did we suddenly had the idea. It's actually a "long" story. It all started with a twitter convo tht me and Priscina had. So at one portion she was lik twitting me why wont I believe her. Thn I'm lik cause I'm not yr darling'. Keke. Thn she was lik ohyeah. S'ok, we can be chojae(?) thn I'm lik wht is tht? Thn she was lik oh it means sister-in-law. Thn I was lik LOLOL! If we are sister in law, tht means ur hubby (weimin) is my brother. So thts how this whole family thing came abt. Haha! And jus tday she was saying tht it's so weird to call me dongsaeng cause it's so weird. Thn I'm lik actually u dunnid to address me w a title cause in e family, I'm younger thn her in r family hierarchy. So Priscina was lik. Yah, she can actually call me by my name. But I dn have a Korean name she can call me by. Thn I was lik lolol. Thn help me create. Haha! But tht wasn't rlly the driving force. Wht rlly made me think of one was whn Priscina ask me to read her ff on this website called wattpad.com. And in order to access the app, I needa sign in. So I made an account and was lik hey why not mke this the debut of my Korean name (; lolol!

So all along I wanted my names to be related to my actual name. And case Chloé is hard to actually convert it to Korean, so we decided to make it a traditional name w surname and all(:

So all the while I knew tht if I wanted to use my Chinese name, I wanted a 惠 in it. Oh. As u might knw, my Chinese name is 陈祖惠. And apparently, 惠 is e only one tht can be translated into various languages and still sound okay. Fr example, it can be read as megumi, megumu, kei and e. and whts mre, it's related to my actual name. So thts e first hangul character I looked for. And it came out to be hye (혜) so I stuck w it. Next I was super set on choosing my surname. So I immediately searched google for the Korean reading of the hanja 陈 and it came out to be jin (진). Thn Priscina was askin me if tht is even a Korean surname. So anxious me, went to search up if its a surname. And it turned out tht it is! So I happily placed tht as the surname. Thn as u cn prolly see, my first hangul is jin. Second hangul is hye. So I was lik if the third hangul started w "f" it will be lik "f, h, j" lolol. Thn it will be so cool! Hahah! But Priscina said tht there's no f in hangul. So I'm lik okay thn I will choose l thn it will be lik "j, h, l" lolol! Thn Priscina said tht "l" is sometimes also pronounced as "r" Thn aft awhile of thinkin and much more thinkin, I realized tht there's a surname tht is ryu (류 - 柳). Thn idk why. I suddenly felt lik moving jin frm e surname to the last one. So I went to find if there is other hanja tht is also pronounced jin. And turned out there is! And it actually is 眞 which is also read as zhen in Chinese. And when I found out I was over the moon cause 惠真 jus sounded so good. Now idk if I should have chose 珍 as it also is pronounced jin. Actually, I also dk. /: hahah! Hmmm! So my self made Korean name is Ryu HyeJin (류혜신) whn written in hanja its 柳惠眞, in simplified Chinese is 柳惠真. (:

So that hw it is! Keke!

I can't believe I wrote this much on how I got tis Korean name :O

I feel tht there's sort of a need to learn languages. Idk, but to me languages is such a beautiful thing tht is unique to certain group of ppl. And also, the more languages u understand, the more u r able to understand wht ppl is saying w/o askin thm to translate. Lik nw Internet is so resourceful tht it jus require a few search to find wht u want and a few more clicks to understand whatever u r curious abt. However, u cnt learn a language w jus a few clicks so I find it mre impt to learn a language.

But the sad thing is some languages kind of require u to either translate ur name or create a name. Hence I kinda of lik pinky-swear myself tht if I had to make/create a name I will always relate it back to my original name in one way or another. Cause i super duper love my name regardless whether it's English or Chinese :B

So here's a list of my names from all the languages ive learnt. Not lik it's a lot /: keke! But whatever! Haha!

English: Chloe Chan
Chinese: 陈祖惠
Japanese: 恵 チン
French: Chloé Chan

and recently added...

Korean: 류혜진 (Hanja: 柳惠眞)

Hahah! That's all from me! :DD

JYAN!
류혜진

P.s.: LMAO! I was wanting to look if there's a nice title fr this blog post so I was lik hey! Why nt use French! So I went to google translate. Thn u knw wht I gt frm "my name"? See the title :DD HAHAH!

I'm reviving the blog! :DD

Lolol. Such crap. Anw. Am I rlly gonna blog often? Good question. Jus felt like doing so once again. Haish, make me rmb of THOSE TIMES (P6 mind you) when blogging and stuff lik Habbo and Audi and Maple were cool stuff. But did I do those stuff? Nah. It's not an activity that you participate in tht makes u part of the "cool clique" I mean cummon. Thts just plain dumb. Cause just like fashion, games and all the other "cool stuff" will sooner or later just fade off and become normal again. An example will be Facebook! When it first started it was hot and sizzling. Suddenly it became the new status symbol. And now, it's no longer hot. Twitter is now up the pedestal and Facebook is now below waiting and hopin that twitter will soon too fall and let it take over the world again.

Anw, Im back to the blogging sphere and as always, I'm not demanding for attn from the world or whatever. I just wanna do what I do. Rant what I wanna rant and jus plainly stay out of trouble. And also, I wanna have something to pass on to my kids other than my pictures. I want to be able to tell my kids that I have went through what they experience in school and hopefully this blog will keep all the victories, failures and voyages I have(:

Hmmm. Have I changed since my hiatus? I'm not rlly sure actually... Perhaps it depends on rlly what you are tlkin abt. If u r talking abt my blogging style. Well, i tink it's still the same. I will be lik jus yakking abt how my day was and opinion and stuff. Also I tink (it was a fad!) my writing will and is better and mre tolerable. Yknw last time it was "cool" to type lik 4 words in one sentence and have thIs kInD oF sTuFf in tHe sEntEnce. Talk about a sandwich party. Anw tht was e past! Now I don't type liddat alr. Gosh! Can't believe that stuff USED to be popular! Definitely more photo and all... Idk rlly. Since tis is my first post right? HAHA! And oh! Another hot fad in r past (tis make me sound SO old) was to put those weird random URL tht had entirely no relation to u. And now whn I tink back I'm lik WTS? U sure? Haha! Okok. Maybe to some ppl its lik an inside joke. But imagine those new friends. They might be lik laughing their ass off cause of e URL!

Anw, my URL is http://www.khlo-ay.blogspot.com. Why I chose tis URL is cause ytd there was this SENSITIVE GIRL who laughed when the tchr pronounced my name wrongly. Although I'm fine w e tchr cause I knw tht my name is hard k pronounce since its so rare and all. But her AWESOME loud laugh was so totally unnecessary.

Anw, my anger wasn't the reason. I jus thought tht this was so cool as an URL duh! Haha! I mean what else can be cooler/more unique then my own name. Esp since e correct pronunciation is e French pronunciation! (:

Keke, じゃん!
