Congratulations Vina!!!

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Last night, I was blog-surfing, when I stumbled across Chii's blog, where I found out... THAT GPA RESULTS ARE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg. I was getting slightly panicky last night. I started to remeber how I did during the final exams... Most horrific of all, my Australian Studies exam. I seem to have forgotten that I did well for all my other exams, since the joy is clouded by the pessimistic anticipation of my AS results. I imagined myself getting less than 7.5 GPA, then not being accepted by RMIT... then what would I do?? Repeat Uniprep?? Do all those design projects all over again?? The thought was just... too heartbreaking. Far too heartbreaking.

Since it was already late at night, I figured I should call tomorrow morning... which is today. Well, my Dad's office is close to Uniprep so he went to ask for the results. And he SMS-ed and even called me! But ... I was asleep. Very fast asleep. Didn't wake up until 11:00AM ++ when I immediately grabbed my phone and saw 1 missed call and 1 SMS from Dad Hp.

I closed the missed call alert... And I opened the message.

Did I open it slowly or quickly? Cannot remember. My brain was still cloudy since I just woke up...

It said...

Gpa austen 8.5, vina 9.1. Congratulations and well done. Tks for the effort. Pa

Damn. You have no idea how shocked I was. When I saw the number 9... I thought... It never even crossed my mind. I thought my 2nd semester would be worse than my first. But it actually went up by 0.7 o_o

A few minutes ago, I checked out my detailed results online... Here it is:

Note: A Grade simply means A.

So yes. Australian Studies. Shocker. True shocker. So weird. So so weird.

BUT LET'S IGNORE HOW WEIRD IT IS AND CELEBRATE

Congratulations me!!!

Lalalala

*everybody dancing Para Para*

Hehhee I'm happy. Today's a great day. My work there paid off. My wishlist item to get accepted by RMIT will be crossed out soon. Soon it'll be time for my next big responsibility, university.

So far, life is going according to plan.

Uniprep Graduation Jan '09

Saturday, January 24, 2009

Hello there! I have wonderful news!

Today I had my final two exams in the afternoon and at night, I had my Graduation! Here are some lovely pictures:

My bro and I at the graduation hall:

Alyssa, Me, Listy:

Us again:

My brother and his graduation certificate:

Mine:

And this was the really unexpected part. There was a prize-giving ceremony where top scorers of each streams receive a distinction certificate. So there was Science, Commerce, and when the turn came for Arts & Design (to make this clear, "Arts" and "Design" are two different streams but the classes are mostly joined together), the MC announced that it was "the brother and sister duo, Austen Kosasih and Vina Kosasih!".

O_O wow I was surprised. Didn't expect that. I didn't even know Arts and Designs were going to be separated since Arts only had 3 students. But it was super cool, and I was really happy. I mean... when was the last time I ever received a certificate for being top in class???? Not since... years ago back in primary school I think. My BBS times were hopeless except maybe for Geography and English. So yeah! It felt great to receive that cert. Twas an honour ^_^

The two of us receiving the cert together:

The cert came with another rather heavy wrapped object. Here's my cert:

And here's the little mysterious gift!

Let's open it shall we...

And oh! It's a book! On design! Hahaha... It's sweet that whoever bought this actually thought that the receiver would be taking design in the future.

And inside the book, this is written on the first page:

"Many congratulations and all the best in the future -Simon"

Aww this made me really happy. It's not just some book now, it's something to commemorate an achievement, a phase in my education.

And since I got a book on design, I thought my bro would get one on music! But instead, ...

Lol. Weird. Oh ah you can see my foot there oops =x

Here's another package from Uniprep that every student receives:

It's a laptop bag! Hehe. I've been thinking of buying one for a while now and since I have this one, I guess I won't go buying another after all :)

Okay that's all the pictures I have. You can check out my facebook some time in the future when Didi starts uploading the photos into FB. Daym FB is great.

Anyway...

I can't believe I have actually completed my foundation studies... in almost exactly one month, I'll be entering university... Wow it seems so darn fast. I remember it wasn't long when I just switched my blog name from '-The Ordinary Girl In High School-' to '-The Ordinary Girl In College-'. Haha no I don't think all of you have seen my blog name but yeah it exist and it's down right laaame xD but whatever. Now I'll be attending university! University! Gosh! Time flies so fast. I feel like I'm somewhat reluctant to leave this 'youth'.

Like Simon said in his speech, I still remember the first day of Uniprep. It was in that blue room, room 3, 4, 5. And days in Uniprep were spent mostly in Room 13 for Arts and Design students. We loved to skip English lectures, and the girls loved skipping CS lectures. We were always late by minimum half an hour for every CS Lab time. And when we have a 5-minute break between classes, it always end up extended into 20 minutes.

Ms Sherly liked to name the boys Chabie. We loved to tease Tin. And also Mr Kaca Mata hohoho. Mr Nigel loved to play hangman and make us guess the word he wanted. He also translated them into Indonesian such as "dimana pantat = whereas". Mr John was always blabbering on about sue-ing somebody in our class haha. Mr Paul is most remembered for our singing sessions with him and Waltzing Matilda. Ms Helen smiles at us a lot and is very nice even though we skip (or half-skip) her lessons a lot. Sorry Miss! Ma'am Rani is really kind and we love to tease her a bit about her cliched phrases of "this is interesting, but...". And then there's Mr Fredro, Petrick's love, and AA, the teacher we overload with our questions when doing lab exercises =p...

I feel it's a bit too fast. There was only a few hour's gap between final exam and graduation. It didn't hit me that we all would part until the final moments.

Guys, I had a great time. You all are fun and good people. Thank you for the birthday surprises, thank you for making my time in Uniprep short but sweet ;)

Wish you all success in the future!

-Vina

I Rock

Friday, October 17, 2008

Hello readers. I know my blog sucks now =( I update less frequently.

So what's been going on with me? Well, many things. But I've been feeling rather down and empty and mostly: BORED.

I am bored. Oh am I really bored. Day by day passes by and I feel even more bored. I need some excitement and adventure in my life. =( This must be boring for you, reading about how bored I am. So let's skip all the pessimistic stuff okay, let's assume it's the PMS-induced emo-ness.

On the happier side of life, check out what is up on the UNSW Foundation Year Students web page...

Tadaa... =D Well now, let this poor girl brag a little will you? I got highest in class! Hahaha. I mean heck, when's the last time I ever stood first in class? WHEN??!?! Back when I was a primary school kid in Singapore. So yeah, let me brag :)

So with this result, I will apply for RMIT's Visual Communication course, which only requires... a GPA of 7.0 or 7.5 (can't remember). That's without a portfolio of 15 pieces of design works though. Crap. I haven't been dilligent with my art stuff and let me just say that 15 is a lot of art pieces to collect. Damn I have so much Design assignments to do... T_T

Yes anyway. I'm sure you all know that Susan is back from America =D *dances*

I went straight to her house and we chatted a LOT the day she came back. I just laid on her bed feeling all at home, trampling her mattress with my dirty muddy foot =D Anyway. That was 2 days ago. Back to present times. She came over to my house (it's nice to be neighbours)~

One thing weird about me is that I seem to always, somewhy, put on make-up when my girls come over. For some odd reason! They come over. "Hey let's curl your hair!" which later leads to "Hey! Let's put on some make-up!" and then "Hey change into this will ya?" and finally "Let's take pictures like mad!!!"

That's the reason why you will soon witness narcism from me again. But no, I didn't curl my hair or change into anything new. But I did put on my brand new dark purple MAC eyeshadow from Suzie as my birthday present xDD

A pic of us trying to have big, BIG eyes. You can see us straining our facial muscles. =D

I start to feel rather mischevious...

Susan notices I'm doing something weird, and looks at the monitor instead of the webcam...(while still keeping her smile)

I know I look fugly in that picture. But it just looks SO MUCH like Ragnarok Online's /e8 emoticon (my fave) that I can't help but post the photos up.

Nice pics to make up for the fugly ones? =D
