NaNoWriMo is here!! Again!!

And yes, November looms (I know...it's already nearing the end of the second week...)...and tens of thousands of budding writers and novelists are slaving away at their NaNoWriMo goals.
The NaNoWriMo forums are always exploding in November...it's not quite sleepy during other months (especially December when the fun is over), actually, but if you want more help, more ideas, ask in November.

For those who are still in the dark about what I'm saying...NaNoWriMo stands for
National Novel Writing Month.
Although I think they really should change it to International Novel Writing Month. I mean, it's CLEAR that this is a world-wide sensation, annually.





""National Novel Writing Month is an annual event where creative types around the world sit down at their desks on November 1st and try to bang out 50,000 words by the 30th. It began back in 1999 when director Chris Baty and 20 of his friends came up with the idea to write novels for the same reason more rebellious types start bands: they had nothing better to do and wanted to make some noise. Now in it's 11th year, with participants around the world numbering in the hundreds of thousands.""
Quoted from holynerdblog.blogspot.com


Well, it's basically that. There are no qualifications except one: you must be willing to try. There are no rules basically, it's just a fun activity. The goal is simple: Write a novel of at least 50,000 words in the 30days of November (not more, not less) and you will win the activity. Prizes? Nah, this is purely for self-satisfaction.


I'm a very lazy gal so I'm not sure if I'm even going to start another novel....still grieving over my lost data of TWO half-written novels. One of them was actually written in November (I never heard of NaNoWriMo then).


Well...I shall see...:P
Perhaps I could come up with a vague plot and flesh it out somehow. ><
It's HARD TO START A NOVEL FOR GOD'S SAKE.


Hardest Chapter of all...

And I never have enough time to think or write...anyway.
I am in awe of my younger self..who writes using pen and paper...pages and pages....
Now...please, forget it. I can't even find time to type words, let alone making my hand ache for writing??


I still have that passion for writing though...^^
It's what I do best. =)

R.I.P Hazel my precious~

My Hazel...darling...
She passed away today...I don't know what time..but I went to see her in the morning and she was all curled up in a corner. I shook the cage a little (which always woke her up at once) but today..today she didn't wake up...

And then I felt suddenly bad...I know something's wrong...so I found a pair of chopsticks and prodded her gently...but she didn't move...



Her eyes were close and her mouth slightly open..showing tiny front teeth..
And I know she's dead..


I buried her in the garden...at a corner near some colourful plants...
And spelt her name "H-A-Z-E-L" out with tiny garden stones...
T.T


I don't have the energy to sort out and upload her best photos...but I promise I'll do so very soon..okay? This is one of her cutest photos...she loves climbing the bars of her cage...to see better.


Thanks for all the happiness that you gave me especially when I'm sad...thanks for loving me no matter what...thanks for trusting me with your little life...
Be happy in the hamster heavens above, okay? I'm sure the angels will love to have my lively girl brightening their heavens. Oh and find Jacques if you can...and tell him I miss him.


I love you, Hazel love.
I'll remember you and your cute ways, forever.

Accounts...accounts...

I love the above photo. XD looks so professional.

Sigh. What made me take stupid accounts????

I asked WQ who took it with me though we were both studying pure science...and she said she wanted to be able to do accounts in the future and don't need to depend on others. Like she knows everything about it and can detect mistakes (accidental or not) by clerks and accountants if she ever opens a business.

Well...my reason isn't SO ambitious...

Partly took it because it is interesting (even though I kinda swore that I would never take accounts after PMR...the perdagangan part of Kemahiran Hidup in PMR drove me yoicks. (yoicks means crazy in the Legend of Ga'hoole. Erm it's an owl novel series)
It's challenging...and it's satisfying when I finally, finally understood the concepts...you know.

And partly because I want a better chance for a scholarship...it's now a 10+2 system...I've already have 10 subjects including Chinese...and I can add two more...so if my Accounts and the other subjects except Chinese get A+...then I can throw Chinese out of the window and put Accounts in...so it would show 10A+ which is one of the requirements for a JPA scholarship anyway.
You get what I mean. >.<

WQ got 92 for the finals...=( I only got 68. I still lose to her even if I turn the numbers around. Sigh.

It's strange because she's the one careless during lessons, and I'm usually quite careful, but then she's always better in exams. Haih. What am I suppose to do?? There's still that Akaun Folio...haven't even started Jurnal..

Heard that some people are contemplating to take Perdagangan...I think they're yoicks.
Of course they wouldn't dare take Akaun...but Pdgn is comparatively much much easier than AK...
And not much calculations. 
But we all know why...it's only to boost their faces...they wanted 11 subjects for the sake of being more than others...

Of course taking 11 subjects is fun, and impressive...and of course both me and WQ enjoyed that...but in the end it's the interest in the subject that counts, don't you think so?
