Raya: Oswestry

Just relax and enjoy.

Comment ok?

Year 13, Final year A-Level. Yeay...!!

Haven't been here for such a long, long, long loooooonnnnnnggggg time, have I? This blog has been collecting dust for several months. It's (probably) almost 10 ft tall. Who cares~ I'm here now. Time for SPRING CLEAN...!! (Although it's not even spring at the moment)

It's final year of A-Level~ Now thinking about it, AS wasn't that bad, kan? "Now you're gone", AS.. hahahaha.... tia karang... They can still pop up in A2 papers.

My AS result, Maths papers tu, 3 marks out of perfect score. Can't you just give me the 3 marks? But, overall, Alhamdulillah. Now I think I need high A's in Chem and Phy for A2 to get A's. This year goal: try aiming A* for Maths and Further Maths (at least in Maths lah...) As Mr NL said aim high.

Beginning of Y13, hmmm... I still think I need to catch up here and there. I feel so unprepared. Was it just me or what? The other Oswestrians seems okay.

Oh well, at least this year PS buleh buat di bilik. Didin's room is mine now. It was a mess at first. See...

(before picture)

But after hours and hours of unpacking, organizing, hanging clothes, throwing rubbish away (why did I keep all this junk?) it finally looks ... well, relatively neater, I suppose ... in other word, 'acceptable'. By me, saying the least. Now your judge.

Neat right....? The only answer I want to hear is "yes". No others. I'll kill you if you dare. hahaha.... lol... no lah, just kidding meh... =P

First Aid Course

It is essential to know the basic first aid before going for DofE expedition. Last Saturday, the 7 of us went for F.A. training. It went for about 5 hrs. (of course, we had break at 12.30pm; lunch time)

Ok, let’s see how much I can retain after 24hrs...:

• First, conduct primary survey. Check for Danger, Response from victim, Airway (make sure air passage isn’t block by lifting chin and tilting head), Breathing (check for max of 10sec), Circulation. Way to remember, DR.A.B.C.

• Secondary Survey: check for discharge of fluid. Gloves should be used. Check from head first and down to feet. Treat the most life threatening injuries first. Turn the victim into a recovery position. Again, make sure the air passage isn’t block by tilting the head.

• CPR is given when the victim is not breathing. How? For an adult, give 30 Chest Compressions followed by 2 Rescue Breaths. This should go in a continuous cycle until the paramedic come. For a child, first give 5 Initial Rescue Breaths, then followed by a cycle of 30 Compressions and 2 Rescue Breaths. The Compressions should be 4-5cm deep and should be 100 compressions per min. If unwilling, just do 100 Compressions per min continuously.
  

 

Wah...I can still retain that info? Hahaha.... Of course I can. I have a training booklet to refer from. xD 

No one better than another

Ms Scott decide it’s just fair to choose the school team based on a test. The competition was between me, Yi Lyn (my roomie) and Toyin. Each of us was given 10 questions and time limit of 30 minutes. Based on our scores, the best two will be joining the school team for Senior Team Maths Challenge.

But...

Guess what happen...

Guess our result...

We all score 2 out of 10. Yes, I mean ALL! Wow, draw... hahaha... All the marks turn out to be levelled, including the yr 13 team members.

So, Ms Scott decided the yr 13 should just pull two names out of hat. Her intention is so that we can blame them if we’re not chosen. Berakal Miss aa..xD

Anyway, Lyn and I got to be in the team (I got it by PURE luck...)

And rupanya, last year, similar things happened. I guess that means one thing, we are all on the same level; no one better than another. Right?

The regional UKMT Senior Team Mathematics Challenge 2008 will be on 4th of December, at University of Wolverhampton. Wish us luck...

DOE gold award, date of enrolment: 11/11/08, Remembrance Day. They spell my name wrongly...again!

‘Nor Roslan’

Huh?? Sejak bila namaku betukar?

Hmm... Next time, remind me to just write Akmaliah Roslan. That way, they won’t miss out anything.

Oh wait... They did miss out something. My name tags, my laundry name tags turn out to be ‘Akmalia Roslan’. Aduh... Antamlah.

Self Management

Today’s PSHE was about self management. We were told it was something on making choices. The first thing came to my mind was ‘degree choice’ or something similar.

Then again...

Nope, that’s not it. It’s on alcohol and substance usage. :S

Hey, it doesn’t concern us, right? So almost the whole time, my mind wondered off; preoccupied at times.

There’s one thing that caught my attention. It went like this...

Speaker: If you were given alcohol and cocaine, don’t take both.
(Yes, I agree.)
Speaker: Just take either one.
(Huh?? :S)

Why are they encouraging? Weird...

Regardless of all the craps she said, I’ll surely keep my distance from those addictive substance.

Neway, I’m getting slightly better at badminton...hahaha...NOT!

You got mail

Acceptance letter is here...

Yes, it's here. Just came in last Thursday morning. I'll be going to Oswestry School, Shropshire. Boarding school (Full). Will I be able to handle it? Will I survive? Will I be able to cope on my own? Those questions can only be answered in 1 or 2 months time.

Moving on, school starts on the 9th of September. Flight? We will be informed once confirmed. If you ask me, it must be before school starts or else we will surely miss the first day of school. Am I right?
