It's been such a hectic week. Loads of quizes coming up, and i feel like im suffocating.

Anyway, im officially 19 years old on the 27th of Oct. Still sweet nineteen. Im still a teenager. Haha. But i also agreed with yong sheng that im also old already. Imagine, next year i will be celebrating my 20th birthday. 20! I dont want to break 20! I want to stay young.

Received quite a few pressies this year, but im still waiting for the one that my clique has yet to give me. Haha, from what i understand, it's still waiting to be imported from taiwan into singapore. Shall wait then. I love receiving presents :)

Many people asked me how i celebrated my birthday. The answer i gave is basically the same, "Like that lo, nothing special." When i thought it would be special so much so im looking forward to it, it didnt turn out the way i had expected. I wouldnt say im disappointed, but i thought at least there's a surprise. A simple dinner and a stayover would sum it all. But, i still do enjoyed myself. Anyway, this is how my last birthday before i bade goodbye to being a teenager turned out to be.

Countdown to exams. Normally at this point of time i should be very familiar with my stuffs and furiously doing ten year series or past year exam papers over and over again to revise back and then familiarise myself with the concepts, but it's different now. With only 14 days to the start of the first paper, im still struggling to get my way out of all the tons of formulas and concepts. I have my own aims and i would want to ace as many subjects as possible. And im still trying my very best to work towards it!

Had a prepared speech yesterday during effective communication tutorial. Was feeling damn uptight and nervous i almost freaked out. If i could i would give out a loud shout, but i cant. Kept telling jiahe im very scared, and i will forget my content even though i have my cue cards with me to back up. Then he kept on reassuring me that it will be alright. I gave a speech on "When is the right time to have sex?", and when i said it, i could see some of my tutorial mates' expression. But, i still managed to complete my speech steadily and calmly, like what jiahe said. Even asked me how i managed to look so calm when im actually very nervous inside. Actually, i dont know how i did that either. Only thing i knew is that i had to look confident. To my surprise, i actually got an A+! Felt so happy for the achievement. But when i got all so excited and told someone about my achievement, he didnt really think too much of it, and even gave me the comment that im just very lucky. And it suddenly reminded me of another incident when i told him i got an A for my written speech, all he said was that he could do it as well too. It got me saddened for quite a while, as i was expecting some praises for my good work, but i got used to it the second time it happened. Sometimes, i would rather hear some nice words than crude remarks. At least, it gives me the motivation and spurs me on.

Wish me luck for my exams. I hope i can do well.. :)
