that's short for mathematics and statistics 1.
i hope i'll get a B for it. 15 marks sure gone, so A is out of my list. klw dapat B pon dah cukup buat me =)
how was the paper?
1. the format is the same as the past years' papers. you see, we students can print old exam papers from the net. so, kite cube soalan2 exams... soalannye tk byk sgt ah... ade 2 sections. section A ade 8 questions, 5 marks each. we can expect to see 1 or 2 logarithm questions, 1 trapezoidal rule question, 1 significant figures question, transformation of non-linear to linear equation question...etc.
for section B, there 4 main questions, of course, each has its own components. 1 question: 15 marks. section B, yang confirm masuk are the scatter plot graph question (+linear correlation coefficient+least square method+labelling regression line+prediction), another logarithm question, exponential decay, area n volume of bounded regions, n maxima/minima question. just now also got rate of change question which i screwed up big time! worth 5 marks, man!
2. alhamdulillah~ most of the time me dpt buat smoothly, although i knew very well that there were careless calculations and wrong steps here n there, which may cost me 1,2,3 or the whole marks for that particular question; gone!
i was stuck two times: one, a logarithm question in section A. dapat buat halfway, then tk tahu ape yg harus ditulis; nak cancel off ke, multiply ke...stuck begitu je! so me tglkan je ah.. the second one is the maxima question. Ya Allah, me rase sedih sekali! it was the last question, and i didnt have a clue how to get the correct equation. as long as you couldnt figure out the equation to differentiate, you can never answer that question! ='(
actually, soalan yang seakan2 same dgn the maxima question tadi ade dlm 2 of the exam papers that i printed. n guess what? while i know that profit is revenue - cost, i got the equation for revenue wrong!! i mistook it for the equation of the number of bowls sold. i totally didnt remember that revenue is selling price x price!
all the time i was figuring out how to get another 'x' in the equation so it'll be 'x-square', n so when i differentiate i can retain an 'x'.
sekarang me tgh cube redha dgn keadaan. mungkin kau deserve it. yang lain went smooth, mestilah satu atau dua yg tersangkut. kau tk belajar betul2, sbb tu tk semua yang dipermudahkan. semoga ini menjadi pengajaran untuk kau.
tapi bila pikir balik, hati ni berbisik: klw kau doa dan mintak betul2 tadi, semase lagi 10 minit sebelum 'time's-up!', mungkin Allah akan beri kau ilham..
ntah lah eh...yg dah lepas tu lepas lah ye?
sekarang nie plak belum belajar human anatomy and physiology. ish~ byk sgt fakta nk kena ingat. sikit2 macam belajar sejarah dulu.. from the small terms and facts, to the big and important names and facts and mechanism and processes. must be able to know them all and explain them clearly!
ok.
signing off...bye!
p/s: i've changed my specs. it was in may or july this year, cant remember. the frame's blue. ergh. but the shape is rectangle-like. not oval like my old specs. i remembered spending a LOOONG time in the shop, trying to find the perfect specs. finally, i gave up and chose this blue frame. klw yg nerd-style tu, ade, tapi it makes my face wide bila pakai tudung. my current specs nie pon same jugak..but nak buat camne? dah beli, n tkde frame oval yg berkenan di hati.
tkpelah. =) oh! n my degree pon dah naik. 200+ or 300+ gitu. =(
in the bus.......
hari sabtu yang baru lepas nie, mase me balik dari rumah ibu (my makcik), me naiklah bus 39...jeng jeng jeng! me terjumpa aszafirah! Wheeee~~~
alhamdulillah~~ i was very happy indeed to see a friend of mine again. and im still glad to have met YOU in the bus!
haha! rase awkward lah pulak... mmg kite dulu tk lah rapat mane.. but we're in good terms.. jadi bila berbual pasal cerita lame.. or updates about each other... it sure made my day!
rase tk sabar gitu nk buat reunion. ape khabar khairunnisa khalid? isyanti? huda ayob? hazimah sam? farahin? khadijah? izyani?....n the list goes on... me dapat tahu dr syarafina semalam (dpt chat dgn dia kejap =D) yang budak2 kuis cuti 2 minggu ard 1 sep smpi 14 sep.. budak2 DQ plak camne eh..?
cakap pasal cuti nie kan... my semester break is 1 month 3 weeks! isnt that wonderful! i can do lots of stuff - doing things that i've not been doing for quite a long time, like tahfiz, library, see friends, concentrate on ahlulquranpts... tapi, obviously CCA still goes on ah...TKD, ELF and CSC.
oh! i havent told you about CSC - Community Service Club. heh. mmg mase baru2 start sekolah ade ura2 nk join..tapi baru sekarang nekad dah bulat untuk join. jadi sub-comm ah.. sayangnye, me masih belum join any arts cca. malay arts group?? err.. tk payah lah... ramai sgt melayu.. heh.. ujian lebih! *wink*
tgklah nanti next semester camne. if my timetable's ok.. weekend schedule ok... cds* ok.. maybe i'll take another CCA.
*cds: Cross-Disciplinary Subject; setiap pelajar kena ambil at least 2 cds subject.. luar dari field yang kite belajar. kite buat 5 choices. mine were french, japanese, arts appreciation, world issues..lagi satu me tk ingat. next sem baru dpt tahu which cds i get..
ok, i better go now. nak gi ang mo kio police division kt yio chu kang.. sbb nk collect my lost wallet, ezlink card and IC. actually bukan lost ah..tapi tertinggal - or shall i say, yang me tinggalkan - kt bus 969. that was on last tuesday. =(
bila dapat surat polis semalam.....subhanallah~~~ gembira bukan kepalang! (betul tk phrase??) rase lega di hati, hanya Allah je yang tahu! terima kasih, Tuhan...!

inorganic and physical chem.
im definitely going to get a D or F for this paper.
strangely, i didnt feel total regret, remorse, sadness, whatever!
rase sedih tu adelah sbb i couldnt even start answering a 15-marks question. mase tu dah tgl 20 minit...tapi my brain wasnt functioning properly. bace punye bace soalan, still tk boleh nk register or determine dgn pasti steps/methods ape nk digunekan. jadi 15 markah tu melayang begitu sahaja.
n with that, getting an A is completely out of reach.
now, why i may not get a B? coz... byk lagi soalan yang me jawab salah. even the MCQs agak susah. byk soalan MCQ yang me spent more than 5 minutes each Q. mungkin ade smpi 10 minit! secare purata, 25-30 marks gone.
so, kemungkinan me dpt 30-55 out of 100.
dah cukup bagus dah tu...
maybe, the fact that i really focused when studying for this paper that erases the sadness.. yep. sbb me tahu yang me dah usaha sebyk mane yg me mampu. ehem~ cuma minus the fact that me tk sempat cover another 2/3 of topic 2 notes and tk dpt cube tutorial questions.
tapi, tkpelah...
sebenarnye kan...me belajar dari pukul 12 tghmalam tadi sampai pukul 4 lebih pagi. maknenye me sungguh tk cukup tidur. kemungkinan besar, itulah sebabnye my brain tk dpt receive and perceive information well. ade jugak formula yang me tk ingat.
oh ya! second last question pon (a 15-marks question too!), me rase me hilang 7/9 markah begitu sahaje. ade satu perkare yg me musykil..n perkare tu klw silap, my WHOLE calculation salah.
oh well~
mmmMmMmMmMMMmmm...

sembang2 petang.
mesti korang kt luar sane tertanye2, mcmane kehidupan liyana kt poly ye? kak nadiah pon ade tegur jugak, "liyana tk nk org tahu camne kt poly eh...?"
hehe...tkdelah... cuma malas nk type je. surat dr australia yang bertarikh march pon belum dibalas!
sebenarnye, computer kt rumah dah lebih dari sebulan ok... cuma sejak semenjak nie, me tk gunekan sgt comp kt rumah, sbb org lain gunekan. klw me dpt gunekan pon, me check email, blog-hopping, sampai tk update blog sendiri.
sekarang nie me kt sekolah. planning nk balik rumah selepas maghrib, tp kak khadijah TP baru sms, beritahu hari nie ade usrah. so, im going.
baiklah, ana kt poly nie biase2 je. tkde perubahan mendadak. culture shock pon tkde kot. cume... hari2 fitnah mate ah... especially time cca TKD. maklumlah, TKD diadakan kt sports hall. jadi rata2 pelajar2 pakai shorts. klw dlm changing room plak, fuh! tk usah cakap! mentang2 kt dlm semua perempuan, ade yg tukar baju selamba je dpn org, bukan kt cubicle! or jln sane sini tk pakai shirt. betul ah~ sakit mate! bukan lah me nk berlagak baik. tp rasenye, me je yg pakai tudung or berpakaian 'cukup' kt situ.
mengenai rijal.. hahahahaha... tkde ape2 bizarre. skrg dah de kwn lelaki, baik yang melayu ataupun cina. indian cume satu je, from experiential learning facilitators. tu pon tk rapat mane. setakat acknowledging that he's in the same cca as me. tp bukanlah me berbual dgn diorang tk tentu pasal. most of the time, me tk cakap pon dgn diorang, tegur pon tk jugak. unless diorang yg tegur me. tapi, kadang2 tu me tegur jugak kwn2 lelaki cina.. "hello!" "hey!" klw rijal melayu, tk pulak. hehe.. haya' ah~~
klw korg nk tahu pasal isu "crush" plak, hmmmm... nk ckp crush bukan... mungkin infatuation kot..hah tu ade lah... tp most of the time terpadam begitu je, unless org tu me ternampak lagi. hahaha... secare jujur, me tkdelah simpan perasaan kt sape2. mintak dijauhkan!!
perubahan pada diri??
well, im more of a loner now. but i've always been one, havent i? kt alsagoff dulu pon, klw org tk berbual dgn me, me senyap. kt kelas me tk kecoh2, unless berbual dgn rakan sebelah. time recess pon me tk byk ckp.
sekarang nie...ntahlah, rasenye me tkde ape2 nk tokok tambah atau cerita2 dgn kwn2 kelas. klw me duduk dgn diorang pon, me senyap je..or dgrkan. oh ya! fyi, in my class ade 6 perempuan islam, including me. n a muslim guy. haha.. tk heran ah.. around him me tk lah rigid or malu2. biase je. just treat him like everyone else. but of course, i seldom talk to him.
anyway, mengenai rakan sekelas, esp yg muslims girls..well, mungkin kite lain background kot. or maybe me yg tk pandai menyesuaikan diri dgn keadaan. hmm.. ntahlah ye, topik2 yang mereka perbualkan doesnt interest me that much, mcm kt sekolah time recess dulu jugak.. klw org lain berbual pasal bollywood, hollywood, music, boys, food etc etc..im just interested to hear. mungkin jugak me tkde ilmu dlm benda ni, or tknk involve dlm topik sebegini. topik ape yg me suka pon me tk sure!
nak kate... hidup kt poly nie mundane jugak. even though my poly is big, my everyday life is confined to the same LTs, the same block, the same class, the same corridor, the same walkway. i sit in lecture, i go to tutorial, i go for lunch - occasionally in other schools' canteens or i go to the library.
tk happening ah...
klw nk happening sikit tu, mase ade CCA.. at least i get to go to the sports hall, and on my way there, take different routes, or go to the ALP, east of TP. overall, i enjoy walking on TP ground other than the ITAS block.
oh! before i forget; i have a little advice for you out there who wish to take a science diploma course, be it in TP or other polys:
it is really useful, and worth it, if you take A-math, biology and chemistry for o-level. as for physics..hmmm im not sure.. i think it's beneficial too. what's good is that you're gonna be a step further than your friends who doesnt have those knowledge. you will understand new concepts easily, insha Allah. especially in mathematics and statistics 1.
oh, a bit more ttg kwn: boleh dikatekan, me lebih selesa and mesra dgn kengkawan dr nur ikhwan. tk pasti pulak kenape..mungkin sbb they're a bit more religion-conscious? im not trying to sound biased here. again, it may be my fault for not widening my circle of friends. maybe im being unfair.
eh! dah nk dekat pukul 7 lah.. i have to get going. alahai~~ bila tgh syok2 type nie, cerita2 ttg my life in poly, mase tk cukup plak. rasenye mcm nk stay kt library nie smpi pukul 9! ish, ish, ish~
oklah, until we meet again, Assalamu alaikum!

the main exams are here!
yep. today's the first day of the semestral exams... wheee~ rase seram oi! nervous kepalang...asyik worry samade me akan fail atau tidak...samade me akan dpt jwb semua soalan atau tidak...
im taking 7 modules aka subjects this semester, but exams cume 5 subjects. APEL tkde exam.. i dont even know mcmane the subject is graded! communication skills ade several tests - grammar editing test, lab report writing test, team dynamics practical assessment. yang lab writing tu, i screwed up! me tk sempat habis tulis.. my report tkde conclusion. bukan ape, penat tau tulis! materials/isi dah diberi, kite cume kena tulis dlm format yg betul. jadi kite kena copylah sebanyak2 text tu! and it was only 1 1/2 hours.. mase dah selesai tu..sedih lah pulak..rase 'tk kisah' pon ade jugak (padahal markah dari test tu penting!!).. 3 weeks later >> i got 13.5/20. syukur..dah cukup bagus tu..i actually expected to get an F.
ok, back to today's paper.
BIOCHEMISTRY 1.
honestly speaking, this subject is not difficult. but as alwayssssssssssss... i slacked. so i was still flipping the notes until the last teeny-weeny minute! *bad habits definitely dont die easily, huh? maybe i should jump off the cliff and reincarnate myself to be a better person! -_-"*
i guess my chances of getting an A (equal to or more than 80 upon 100) are pretty slim. not that i answered most of the questions wrongly. im still a student bestowed with some intelligence, ok? *duh! every organism with a brain has intelligence~*
i havent checked the correct answers yet, but im sure i may get 70+, if im lucky enough, or 55+, if im not that lucky... *Ya Allah~~~ i really really hope i wont get an F....*
fyi, especially for juniors out there - in case you dont know, for the exams, there are the questions booklet (not really a booklet heh..just papers stapled together with a specific cover for that particular subject) and the answer booklet. just like in O-levels =) and we get to bring the questions paper home. yey!
now, some tips for those who are gonna take BIOCHEMISTRY 1 paper in TP in the near future (based on my recent experience) :
1. some of the multiple-choice questions are DEFINITELY from past years' papers. good thing i printed 2 exam papers - 2000/2001 and 2004/2005. there were questions from those papers! so people, do try the MCQs, however lazy you are. and if you are not sure of the answers, ask your tutors/lecturers ASAP! believe me, you wont regret it!
*unfortunately for me, i just tried the MCQs yesterday, so i didnt get to ask Mr Alex Pham or Mr Kok today.
2. you MUST revise the tutorials and quizzes! i actually had 4 questions from my tutorials and 3 from my quizzes.
and guess what????????????????
i've just gone through my tutorials (to see how many questions masuk dlm exam) when i found something that is..that is...the exact answer for a 15-marks question. just last tuesday, 2/3 days before today's exam, Mr Kok had actually GENEROUSLY display the whole answer for "absorption of lipids by the body, followed by beta-oxidation". well, the exam question wasnt exactly like that, but im damn sure the answers are the same!
huh. i didnt even go through that tutorial page this morning.. errr... actually, i didnt even read any tutorials..caught up in lecture notes instead, though i knew very well that reading the tutorials is absolutely a bonus point!
SCREW YOU, LIYANA!
3. whatever the lecturer covers during revision lecture, whatever he displays on the screen, whenever he says "you must know this..." "this is important"... believe him. and prioritise those pieces of knowledge first. meaning that you should fully understand, or if possible, memorize, those points/facts before you study other parts of the subject.
i did memorize some important key points. sadly, i didnt remember 100% of them.. coz i was in haste, so the information - main ideas or word-by-word - didnt really stick to my head.
last but not least, no. 4:
dont think you can revise 5 topics in a day - lecture notes, tutorials, quizzes. unless you lock yourself in your room, coming out only for short lunch and dinner, and toilet. oh ya! if you study in you room, dont go and doze off ya? that's the most hateful thing to do! *ehem~ punch myself on the face*
what i did was, i started studying at 2-someting pm. covered only half of topic 3 (protein and enzyme) lecture notes. then i stopped for asar prayer. after that i resumed until 6-something pm to watch tv. think i covered 1/8 of the remaining lecture notes. very bad indeed! most of the time i read my sister's educational magazine "English Connection".
and as you might've predicted, i watched tv, ate, watched tv until 11pm. then solat. by then, i'd lost the enthusiasm to finish my revision. but i persisted, of course. i managed to finish the 3rd notes, knowing the fact that i need to go through them again the next morning coz i was already sleepy that time (n so, the info masuk sekejap je..dah tu keluar balik..)
i had 1 more notes to go. so dlm bas tadi pagi, me revise lah notes tu..
but i was slow. really! to really digest the info, mcm susah gitu. i guess my concentration level was distrupted by anxiety, worry and impatience.
hmmm...tkpelah...yang sudah tu sudah... nak buat camne? so far, my continual assessment nampak ok gitu...so i hope to get an overall grade of at least B for biochemistry 1.
Allahumma Ameen...

hmmm...tkpelah...yang sudah tu sudah... nak buat camne? so far, my continual assessment nampak ok gitu...so i hope to get an overall grade of at least B for biochemistry 1.
Allahumma Ameen...
only hope
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over, and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over, and over, and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing, and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
I give you my destiny
I'm givin' you all of me
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm givin' it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hand and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
It's the one that I've tried to write over, and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over, and over, and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing, and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
I give you my destiny
I'm givin' you all of me
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm givin' it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hand and pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours I pray
To be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope
