| BYE to the EXAM MONSTER!! SEE YA IN APRIL!
now, i feel lost without exams, i always do. i walk around at home, dont know what to do leh.. but now i'm playing this Plants vs Zombies game. ahaha sai dl-ed for me, quite fun leh. i like to play these kind of games.. but i guess i needa get a new workstation for myself. dad's laptop is cranky. i cant on it now, have to wait few days later for it to be ok.
there's not much of a relief that exams are over actually. because all i can say about this semester is that it sucks. and i suck too. i regret slacking. i regret not putting in enough effort to not feel like this now. for example stats, i knew if i had done enough preparation, i'd have known how to do most of the qsns. but i did not and i regrets. i learnt my lesson, i shall repent. it wont happen again next semester.
oh, and i hate stalkers. but the thing is, there's no privacy once you're on the net, so who's the stalker? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Here's a li'l something for those insane souls who have taken up the National Novel Writing Month challenge (a.k.a. the completion of a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days). It's a collection of famous authors' Tweets re: your unwieldy undertaking. Some of their tips will surely help you with your writing, the others will simply kill a couple seconds. Either way, they'll prove a temporarily distraction from your writer's block.
 @C_Bushnell #NaNoWriMo tip:Use SpiceGirls speak.Instead of "Whaddya want?" say "Tell me what you want,what you really really want" +8 words!
 @Steph_Meyer #NaNoWriMo tip: @C_Bushnell: I have one, too!!! Use "oh my god" instead of OMG. +2 words!!!
 @JRR_Tolkien #NaNoWriMo tip: My favorite word count cheat? Write a poem in Elvish, then, in the next paragraph, translate it in2 English.
 @JimCarroll #NaNoWriMo tip: It's not easy to stay awake and writing for 30 days straight. I recommend crystal meth and frappuccinos.
 @AnneFrank #NaNoWriMo tip: Avoid distractions! When I wrote my book, I locked myself in the attic & refused to let any1 in.
 @S_Palin #NaNoWriMo MEMOIR tip: My real life sex w/ Todd lasts a minute & a 1/2. To add Xtra words I lie about 4play ;)
 @JK_GrrRowling #NaNoWriMo tip: Pacing 1self is 4 muggles. Finish all 50k words by the 15th, leaving plenty o time for sequels & lawsuits.
 @Maya_Angelou #NaNoWriMo tip: In 'Aliens from Planet Zyx' I had a character recite the 1st act of Hamlet on a dare. Hella word count bump
 @PlaywrightGibson #NaNoWriMo tip: Deaf characters r great. They force other characters 2 constantly repeat themselves, thereby adding words
 @TheRealMelville #NaNoWriMo tip: Give a character a peg leg. You'd be surprised how many extra words U can get from sound effects alone!
 @$tephenKing #NaNoWriMo tip: The number 1 tip for increasing word count? "Adverbs," he said slowly, succinctly, solemnly. | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |
