I m coming home: A level

TGIF .yeah it's Friday again .i m now in my bus,heading to alor star .Finally the suffer school days  are over again .N I m going to have my BED soon ! 

I have to say,April intake for A -levels really so rush and tired .If you plan to choose April intake ,you may have to think carefully .Ok ,let me analyse for you .

A-level is split into AS &  A2 .You may have several small tests ,then sem 1 exam ,then mock exam (kinda like trial ) n finally AS exam before you enjoy the long holidays .The next year you wil have to continue your A2 syllabus then of course your A-level exam .My college (INTI International College Penang has this.I not sure bout other colleges) 

Here are some disadvantages and advantages of Jan/April/July intake I have figured out .Perhaps it may help you .

Jan intake -Well ,you have 18months (or shorter).ADVANTAGES : the time for your classes will be well organized ,which means you have plenty of time to study .But I heard my friends who are Jan intake saying that Jan intake is actually quite rush as well .The lecturers will start to teach A2 syllabus because they afraid that the A2 syllabus can't be completed.
DISADVNTGES: holidays after SPM too short XD .Just joking .i mean ,some of you guys might have to take license classes n exams,and maybe we want to have more time to do our personal stuffs .And some go to NS as well .So ,if you choose Jan intake ,you might as well sacrifice your holidays .

APRIL intake -you have 15months(or shorter) .ADVANTAGES: for those who wish not to waste their time and hope to complete A level ASAP can choose this .As what I know ,some universities around the world start their courses around August (I m not so sure,you have to check it yourself .Do go to the universities ' website and have a look ).So if April intake ,means we will finish our A-level on April next year .So ,we don't have to waste our time to wait for the next intake for certain universities .
DISADVANTAGES: the classes sure will be very very rush ( I m so dying now TT) .If you choose 3 subjects ,then maybe you still can rest more.But if you choose 4 subjects,you really need to have a strong body haha .I am not joking but really very tired .Your classes may start from early 8am -6pm (break is included) .Ya ,at first I really cannot tahan and really want to cry you know ?! Plus la,I don't have a very smart brain XD so hard lo .TT but now I m ok with it already .So ,just wanna remind you ,if you choose April intake ,its definitely tougher but don't give up .

MAY intake -20 months (in inti nilai ) JULY intake -18 months 
ADVANTAGES: the classes are not packed .You can have a lot of time to get used to your course.The lecturers maybe can focus more on you . 
DISADVANTAGES: you will waste almost 1 year time to get into certain universities if they only have intakes around August .and the bad thing is,THose BURSARY students ,mostly will go to July intake .So  maybe ,I mean maybe you will be very stressed .But actually you will be stressed no matter which intakes . So ,just take it easy . 

Well ,Do think carefully and the best to have a call or talk to head of programme of A level .Remember,it's head of programme because they know the A-level course the most ,more than the college counsellors . 
 All the best :)

You raise me up

Today is Mother's Day .Its a big day for all mothers.Yeah ,I love my mom .We all do .

My mom is a typical mother :loves to nag,worries a lot ...bla bla.Chinese says,天下的妈妈都是一样的which means all mothers are same .Agree? Haha .They are somehow connected ,I mean they are protective .But for us ,we might think that they shouldn't be so but actually ,they are always correct (not always,but...most time ^^) 

When I was little,I always hoped to grow up faster so that I can get out from da house and live my life.Freedom .Oh yeah we all dreamed so right? I hated my mom when I was little.She was so mean to me.I mean,I was just a child ,but she liked to force me to do things I hate .She scolded me often n she forced me to study until midnight when I was just in kindergarten .Walao ,I was so sleepy but I couldn't even shift my eyes from books.pity me.And when I went to art class,I always cried because the teacher was scary (sorry mrs foo.i love u la ) I always end up being scolded by the teacher ...TT then I told my mom " I dwn to go anymore." But ...no matter how hard I cried ,I still needed to go .
   
I guess I told you guys before .My mom tore my maths paper into pieces when I was in standard 2/3 because I got 60 marks .Even now when I think of it ,I still feel that my mom so so so so bloodcurdling .I glued them up one by one ,crying with cane marks all over my arms .But from that time on ,I never ever got 80 marks below .i mean until form 3 la.When I got to form 4,I needed to face add maths .In th first exam ,I was totally in a blackout n I don't even know a single question.i went into the car n couldn't hold mytears.i thought my mom would scold me badly but she ended up telling me," Don't force yourself .You must try it slowly .Dont give yourself so much pressure.Try other time ." Yeah ,that's my mom .She treated me strictly when I was small but eventually let me grow up myself .i m so grateful to her .
 
I love my mom .Because of her ,I know I must be independent .She taught me to be.Last time I was counted as top student in my school.i always got no 1/2 in form .But then in f3,I don't know why ,my result dropped sharply till ranking 10/20++ which I forgot .I know it was just a small matter but for me,I mean the previous joey ,that time was suffering .tTeachers talked bout me in office,Friends discussed bout me al the way .I hate being discussed by people wtf.Mommy was the one who encouraged me ,n she told me " try your best" and now it becomes my inspiration everytime I do something.

My mom supports me in whatever things i do .when I went for debate competition ,I always not in the class n somehow it affected my results .But she said "I believe that u can do it.just go ." Thanks mom .i really grateful that you were by my side that time .And I managed to cover up my studies n at the same time enjoyed my secondary school life .

I still remember last time I used to curse my mom .i was bad ,I know.I made her cry yet I still dint want to apologize .I used to text her n scolded her ,asked her why treat me like that ,why other people' mommy so gud but she so mean .I m sorry mom .Now I really know I was so so wrong .Forgive me .Few months ago when we two had a heart-to-heart talk ,she told me the reasons why she so strict to me.she said," you are a girl .so I must train you to be independent .train you to be strong so that you can take care of yourself and the family when yr daddy n I not around.i planned it since I pregnant ,to train you .but you must know,I love u ." ...N I cried ,in my room after I went bac .

Now ,I m studying in Penang ,leaving my family behind .and I finally get what my mom means .Independent when there is no one for me to rely on .I finally know how much I love my family n how much I miss home .

Thank you mom.i love you .
