i am back...guys but i m feelin bad... girls

bad things first
i got back my additional mathematics paper which i was so confident that i will get at least an A2 . guess what i got an A2 which i am so damn pissed about. i made the worst type of careless mistakes one can ever make in one's paper. its just so stupid of me. my paper leterally starts witha mistake and ends with one. its just so stupid of me. i sat there like an idiot while albert and doll tried consoling me, telling me that it does not matter, just an exam oni, wat. haiz. other than that, my bio teacher told one of my classmates that the whole class did extemely 'well' in our exams. haiz. i do not get this world. why does it always need to be me who suffers?

p.s.: currently i am hating my self.

now for the good news
my chapter 1 of my novel is now complete. i am working on the second chapter and a short story. i love writing. then, school holidays are here. time for me to extinguish the burning desire to read my novels. midnight's children, an evening is the whole day, the god of small things, and then reread all my other novels. and then only, catch up with all my form 4 (miserable, idiotic) syllabus. this is going to be a busy holiday period. and do not worry, i will be blogging almost everyday about the happenings in my life here.

neutral things
i learnt that true friends do not go away just because results are not as good as theirs. note to self, next time recheck your paper LIKE A MILLION TIMES, okay. catch ya later.

still busy.....

guys and girls. yes, i am still busy with deepavali celebrations and i would not be blogging for awhile (a day or two). most probably I'll be leaving kuala lumpur today. just because you don't see any new posts, it does not mean that i am not checking your comments, okay. so yeah guys, I'll be back in a few days. don't miss me. well, if you do, i can't blame you. i am very addictive.heheheh

deepavali....

the day where the Indian community all over the world draw colourful kohlams in front of their houses and decorate it with beautiful lights. tonnes and tonnes of preparation would havebeen made two weeks earlier. eh... fry the murruku till golden brown only ,ok. hare rama, take the old filthy curtains down. ramu wash the house; don't you get the furnitures wet. enngae, go and buy the chicken before it sells out. these are the typical Malaysian-Indian dialogues that we will hear in the homes of those celebrating this auspicious day. the history of how deepavali had become is told below (a snippet from wikipedia)

Deepavali, or Divali, (Markiscarali) is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. [3] Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. Hindus tend to treat and celebrate Diwali as Christians treat and celebrate Christmas
In many parts of India, it is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest.[4] The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. But, in South Indian languages, the word did not undergo any change, and hence the festival is called Deepavali in southern India. South India celebrates it as Light of Lamps that fills the dark New Moon day(Deepavoli: Deepam=Lamp, Oli=Light(Tamil)). It is also marked in parts of Southern India as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura.
Diwali is celebrated on the first day of the lunar Kartika month, which comes in the month of October or November.
In Jainism it marks the nirvana of Lord Mahavira, which occurred on October 15, 527 BCE. The Sikhs celebrate Diwali for a different reason; on this day, the Sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, was freed from imprisonment along with 52 Hindu Kings (political prisoners) whom he had arranged to be released as well. After his release he went to Darbar Sahib (golden temple) in the holy city of Amritsar. There, he was greeted by Sikhs and many other people. In happiness they lit candles and diyas to greet the Guru. In India, Diwali is now considered to be a national festival, and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith.[5]

so there you go. that's how deepavali had become. so let us all enjoy this wonderful prosperous day. a very HAPPY DEEPAVALI WISHES to everyone.

it will all get better in time....

like i told you before. LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER. sometimes there are ups and there are also downs. you cannot possibly expect one to be at the top forever. its just against the rules of nature. you are supposed make mistakes. mistakes so big that it will probably affect your future. MISTAKES so big that might drive your friends away from you. these mistakes are meant to be made because they are life's valuable lessons. they say that there is not a better teacher than mistakes. the important thing about these mistakes is that you thrive through the consequences of it. you jump over each boulder that barricades you from reaching to the finish line. and when you do finish life's race you will come out as a stronger person. so what if you got low grades in your history paper or even chemistry for that matter. all that matters is that you learn from your mistakes. you correct them in the coming years. if your friends do not stick around you to see you succeed, then do not cry over it. they are not really your friends. true friends stick with each other through thick or thin. they might be stronger than you are ; smarter, more popular, better in everything. but it all comes down to whether they are being true friends. i have written a lot on friendship so take a look at the previous posts. so remember never abandon friends just because they are not as good as you in grades, you know that they will never do it to you. but if you still feel that you should move away from a friend who got bad grades, then, who am i to stop you.

P.S. be a true friend first, only then you will have true friends.

now that the exams are done with....

muahhhhhahahhahahahahahahhaha.

exams are over. yay. now, i would probably be blogging from day till night. be sure to check my other blog www.aravinthanthegreat.blogspot.com for short snippets of stories and of course, reviews of my latest reads. there will be much to do this holidays. and oh yeah, deepavali is nearing (you'll be hearing much about this later).

high school musical 3 is opening in cinemas coming 24th. yay. i loved the first movie. the second movie was just above the 'not too bad' category. i am excited because the songs sound great and the short clips that were played in Disney channel were awesome. (i know it's pathetic to talk about high school musical and Disney channel for a 16 year old but too bad, i don't care about what you think.)

oops. forgot to take down the curtains in my room for washing. better go before mum comes.

bye y'all.

chemistry....hmmmmmmmm.....

one of the sciences that i am not fond of is chemistry (along with physics). i am not taking tuition for this subject as i thought, i would be able to study and understand it myself. well, the first few chapters were very understandable. starting with the periodic table chapter right up till the end was like reading a book written in Greek. You know what? I can't understand Greek. i managed an A for my first monthly test and the rest were all B's. i had my chemistry exam today morning. do you want to know how i prepared for this particular exam? well , all you have to do is read your chemistry revision book up till 3am (start around 7 pm). oh yeah, don't forget to tell your dad to come in your room at 3am and scold you for staying up so late. ( i was just being sarcastic). anyways, the exam went well. i could answer most of the questions. i hope i can manage a B this time too. its not that i don't want an A, its just too much to ask for.( well, i only studied around 10 hours for it). oh yeah, i forgot, that B is not in my hands ,yet, ( i haven't sat for paper 3 (coming Monday!!!!)) well, one piece of advise for all those CHEMISTRY-HATERS (technically i don't really hate chemistry because i am too busy hating physics), all you have to do to get the concept of chemistry is GO TO TUITION.

P.S.: that advise up there will not help you conquer your enemy (chemistry) unless you wave
the magic wand called HARD WORK

EnGLiSH ExAM...........(sigh)

i love English. my love for this language is unconditional. another thing i enjoy doing is writing essays and stories. like seriously, who would not enjoy doing it? when you are writing a story, you are actually playing god. you decide what your characters should do next. whatever you want, goes. no one objects you. its great. lately, i have been having some problems writing essays while exam. (can you believe it). i am a very detailed writer. i like to be specific ( not as much as Kim Edwards, though). during exams, i usually picture a character and try my level best to create a plot where the character explores the world and beyond. when i do this at home, it goes great . i write wonderful stories but during exams, i am a goner. last exam, i wrote story which began like " i opened the parcel and i was excited...." . the plot for this story came as quick as lightning to me. the characters were simple and perfect for it. at the starting, i was quite excited because the last essay i wrote for my exam got published in The Star. i guess, i was hoping to impress my teacher with my writing, once again. but after a few lines, i lost my vision. i was stuck in the middle of nowhere. i did not know what to do. i reread the very few lines i wrote and i was disappointed in myself. i felt that the tenses ran. there were grammatical errors. what am i to do? i looked at the time, and i had only 30 minutes to finish it up and hand it to my teacher. i decided to go with the 'vision lost' story. by the time i got to the end, i felt like tearing the 3 page long essay into millions of pieces. i hated it. so, guess, its time for me to go back to the basics. the lesson i learnt. never do anything for the mere sake of impressing someone, do it out-of-love. lesson learnt.
