Summer 2013

This year was very gruesome and passed by slowly for me. However i had some fun times and learned plenty of things. This year was a very crucial year as a sat my GCSE exams for Biology, Physics and Chemistry. I've received my results for Biology and passed with an A, which was my target.  Next year will be the real deal. I've got the rest of my GCSEs to do, which will be a challenge.

Apart from academics i have continued to pursue Golf and Violin. On June 11th, i took my violin grade 5 exam from ABRSM and successfully passed! It was a tremendous feat for me, though i have to now focus on completing Grade 5 Theory exams. Alongside that, i've taken up Drums and Piano. I have to say, drums is coming along well and i'm getting more adept at making beats. For Piano, i'm struggling to keep both hands playing though i can manage to play some great contemporary songs.

On a lighter note, i've played a couple of golf games on the course and my games getting better and more consistent, due to private golf lessons and practice. I hope to register my handicap soon and start to take on some competitions. I've already participated in various competitions with handicapped golfers in Dubai Creek and Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club, so i had the privilege to play alongside stupendous golfers.

Best of all, it is summer and i will be visiting Malaysia for the majority of the summertime. I take this chance now to relax and have fun, ready and prepared for the upcoming year. Oh, and i forgot to mention, I bought an Xbox 360 from my friend Alex! The Xbox is great and since I already own a Playstation 3 and Wii, i now master all 3 consoles!

Anyways i wish everyone a great Summer! If you haven't already, please visit my Youtube and subscribe, its coming along nicely =)

[Renaissance] The GCSE's.

Examinations are essential in being able to measure our capacity in knowledge. Exams can come to students in many forms, as SATs, GCSE's or like in my home country, Malaysia,  PMR (or SPM, mixed up between the two). It presents itself to me as the GCSE's and like all exams, it brings forth a challenge. I'm starting to face the hardships that occur during exam times. Keeping motivation and to continuously study is easier said than done. I have done one of my examinations for Biology, actually 1 third of it, it was the B1 exam and thank god, i had gotten an A. It wasn't an A* or A+ but it was still something, and I am happy of my result and hope to continue in that path or hopefully even achieve better! The pressure builds on, as more tests approach in June, maybe this is why i haven't been on in sometime or maybe i was just lazy (haha). But if there is anyone out there, then i'd like to thank you for reading. Blogger sure has changed, hope to create a new look for this blog and add some new features! Keep up with me folks! :)
