IELTS, Fescott... coming exams

I was busy studying for IELTS last week. I was so worried about speaking because I just couldn't perform well when were practising together. I could never be as good as others in 'crapping the right craps'. Luckily the topic I got in the real test wasn't too difficult. At least I didn't go totally blank. I did say some 'er' and 'uhm' though, and I think I might have written my essays too long... ><

After the IELTS, for the first time in KTT, my days are packed by other things than studying. Well, not really 'packed', but I found myself, Adeline, Agnes, Ye Ling and Bong practising senamrobik every night during the past week, for our Fescott (sports day... 'amazing', isn't it? ==") Yeah, you saw what you just saw - S-E-N-A-M-R-O-B-I-K. I must have been out of my mind when I agreed to join (though not entirely willingly). It was held yesterday and I must say, it was truly tiring. Maybe not the most tiring event I've attended, but imagine being in the stadium since morning till evening. That's a record in KTT. Furthermore, we already went to the stadium twice the day before for practice. Luckily we got no. 1 and received a hamper. At least I now feel a bit better for contributing my time to this instead of studying =p. However, frankly speaking, it was a new and special experience for me.

Speaking of studying, I really should start studying!! The entrance exam of Prague university will be on 19th April. I'm glad that JPA changed their policy. Now they give everyone a chance to sit for Prague entrance exam. If we fail this, they'll sponsor another entrance exam, either Olomouc or Hradec Kralove. But, we can pay for the third entrance exam ourselves if we want to. It means we can sit for all 3 exams! I definitely want to try all 3 exams even though I have to pay RM380.

This afternoon I'm going to watch movies with Adeline and Maddy, because I want to spend some precious time with my housemates (quoting Maddy), haha, but seriously, after this, I MUST start studying! It's time to express my bookworm gene...

P/S trial is in 2 weeks' time T_T

Haha, this is not very accurate, but some parts seem to match my personality...

English

I seriously think that I should have worked a bit (ok, well, a lot) harder for my English back in secondary school.

No matter what people said to me, no matter what I got for my 1119, it's not enough. Way not enough. What the little confidence left in me vanished like bubbles in the air, as if it had never existed.

Wasn't I the one who was so enthusiastic about speaking 'proper' English? SPEP? If I'm not mistaken, it stands for 'Speaking Proper English Program', with only 2 members - me and my other friend. Funny as it sounds, I wonder whether I would be half as miserable as I am now if it had worked 4 years ago.
