up and down

Oh, semester one's results are out at UniSA's portal (my academic records). The business subject that I took is not out yet but generally, dissapointing. No High D. Signs to work harder for semester two. Anyways, I got Credit for Digital Media Technique (damn, I seriously thought I can get a Distinction) and Issues in Publication and Design (the blogging assignment killed me), and a Distinction for Public Relations (ok, I gotta admit that this is the only subject I was so confident in getting a High D but damn!). It's just, membabikan.

Speaking about that, I was chatting with my friend about some cgpa matters. I was wondering how are they going to calculate the gpa and cgpa. She then asked me why I was so worried about it. How can I not worry about it? Especially now when my sem one's result is not fantastic. I'm not giving pressure to myself, I just want my degree to look good and convincing.

Erm, have you guys seen U Mobile's advertisements? I'm not promoting it ok but I really like their tv commercials (tvc), especially prepaid's. Print ads so-so only but it attracted my attention to look at it. Back to the tvcs, I think they are interesting because U Mobile's USP is they only charge for what you call as the tagline goes "Call The Shots". For example, if you only talk for five seconds, they only charge for the five seconds. Other operators charge for 30 seconds' rate if I'm not mistaken. The tvcs look different from other telco's tvcs too, I don't how to describe but they just look different, for the better. Please don't think that I'm being bias towards U Mobile just because I'm working for them. You go watch the tvcs first.

Ohh by the way, U Mobile's 018 is not bad afterall. We're giving out free starter packs with pre-loaded RM 1!

Haha. Just a lil' promotion lah.

Shirtliff versus Dynamitez

They created a new history for Cheer 2008 by being the first team ever to walk away with more than one award, all are big awards okay like the Best Showmanship award, Silkygirl Merit award (with no mistakes at all, no deductions) and orfcourse, the overall champion for Cheer 2008 which is organised by The Star, Youth 2. It was a tough decision between Shirtliff from SMK Seri Bintang Utara (formerly known as Bukit Bintang Girl School which the land is now being replaced by The Pavilion) and Dynamitez from SMK Damansara Jaya cause both teams performed equally well, very near to perfection. However, I personally think Shirtliff outshined Dynamitez abit due to their energetic routine and return-to-win attitude.

I was late with my friends, so I missed a few teams which I think could be in the top five. They were Titans, Blitzers, Stunners All-Boy, and Vulcanz All-Boy. You may think "Yer, guys also go for cheerleading?" but I can tell you, some all-boy teams are way better than girls ok. Results have proven it. The atmosphere was good and loud, with the majority supporters from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas (Xavier) all dressed in green, no wonder they went home with Best Supporter award. This award is usually dominated by Blitzers cause they will come in a few school buses. One interesting reason of me going to Cheer is because of the teamwork by all the teams and of course, the supporters from the respective school. It just makes you go 'Wow' when you see them perform synchronizingly.
The results are as follow (too many awards to be remembered, just to list a few):

Champion: Shirtliff (SMK Seri Bintang Utara)
1st Runner-up: Dynamitez (SMK Damansara Jaya)
2nd Runner-up: Stunner All-Boy (SM Sri KDU)
3rd Runner-up: Titans (SMK Ave Maria Convent)
4th Runner-up: Xavier (SMK Convent Bukit Nanas)

Best Newcomer: Pirates (Boys team from SMK Cochrane)
Best Dress: Can't remember but they're from SMK SS17 Subang Jaya.

This is hilarious but I think it is embarassing too cause when the host announced the Best Dress award went to SMK SS 17 Subang Jaya, one of the two teams ran happily to the floor mat to receive gifts but when they nicely posed to take picture, the host sensed something wrong. It was the wrong team, should be the other one instead. That was embarassing ok, but in the end both teams were there to take picture together. Hehe. I seriously cannot remember all the winning teams considering I'm very good already by remembering the top five teams.

Anyways, I was quite surprised that Blitzers from SMK Bdr Utama 4 did not make it into top five and was dissapointed with Sellors of SMK St.Mary. Something off the record, girls from St.Mary quite pretty lor but that was during my time in form five la. Lolz.

I actually recorded both Shirtliff and Dynamitez but somehow I couldn't upload the videos here. Guess will show it other time but I'm sure 8TV will air it soon. Just wait.

beyond my expectation

Friday night is never relaxing for me, very tiring instead cause I'm going to gym at Menara Standard Chartered every Friday to attend classes. Not yoga class, not dancing class, but for body combat and body pump. Oh girls, I think the reason why I eat so much and yet I can stay at 58 kg is because of body combat class. Don't hate me first, I'm giving you some tips ok? Let me continue, eerm, during body combat, we jump alot, stretch alot, and sweat alot too. That's the reason why I failed to gain weight I think. Body pump class is meant for muscle toning/firming. Two weeks ago, the instructor asked me to load up the weight to 7.5 kg each side. I can't say no cause he took the two 5 kg plates for me and today, it happened again. He asked me to load up the weight, so I was thinking ok lar, nevermind I can add 1 kg at each side but he took another two 5 kg plates for me! That's 10 kg each side ok, which is enough to kill me but surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. Oh, the California Fitness at Menara Standard Chartered is relocating to Lot 10! *thumbs up*

My friends are wondering how can I survive for three jobs during my sem break which is now. Erm, why not? Not like I'm working three different jobs at the same time, I've arranged the schedule nicely in order for me to have my own sweet time to do whatever I like. But I can't deny that it is very tiring sometimes, like you work till night today then tomorrow morning another job. Money is never easy to earn, I won't understand that theory till I experience it. Working ar The Gym is...eerm..fun boring! Luckily I met Bao Li on the first day and same shift with my friend on the second day. The food and beverages there are pretty awesome, healthy somemore. As the gym is located facing the road, I always see nice cars around. The ones that I, maybe most of us can't afford to get one. Why there are people so filty rich?

I have friends coming back from the States, Australia, and Argentina but I don't have the time to go hang out with them. When my friend came back from Australia earlier this year, I promised her for lunch or dinner but it didn't happen. I hope I can make it this time or else I'll feel damn guilty but I think she's leaving soon. Lolz.

My result will be announcing very soon, my lecturer said end of next week cause the assigments are still under moderation. Guys, Ms. Jenny said check the result at UniSA's portal. Let me know when it's up there okay? Haih, just received a call telling me that I need to work tomorrow for U Mobile. So tired lah but what to do? I bet you all can see the $ symbol in my eyes. Hehe. I need to save money le, for Show Mi =)

b.r.e.a.k

Finally, I'm on semester break! Someone told me having one month break is good enough, I shouldn't complain so much. Fine, one month also not too bad actually but I will be working. Sigh~

Anyways, if you're wondering how was BCB finals yesterday then let me tell you. It was complicated and troublesome! Thank God I revised on the last tutorial questions, a few of them came out. Surprisingly, the MCQs were pretty easy and straight-forward but the short answer part, gosh. Not short at all, there were 20 questions on that section, I wrote for almost one full page for certain questions. I had a hard time okay. Just imagine sitting inside the exam hall (about 150 students) writing non-stop for three-and-a-half-hour, that was insane! I seriously don't know why there were students managed to leave the hall in just after one hour plus. That time, I was just finishing my fourth question I think. As much as I wanted to go washroom, time didn't allow me to do so. Even till the last few seconds, I was still trying my best to write something on the paper hoping to get higher marks. So sad right, but overall, it was not too bad.

As usual, I'll do some predictions at the end of the semester. I think this semester i'll be getting one hd, two d's, and one credit. Of course I hope will be getting something better than credit, say one hd and three d's but it's very hard to get high marks from Miss J's hands. Nevermind, I've worked hard and tried my best for all four subjects, should be proud of any grade that I'll be getting =)
