10/366 - Apologies

Firstly I would like to apologise for being absent for the past 4 days or so; I’ve had a rough weekend, emotionally, and I really didn’t feel like doing anything at all, let alone write a post a day on tumblr D: 

GOMENASAIII~ ._.

     

BUT ITS COOL. I was pulled out of my depression by rest and a few texts here and there + casual chats over facetime for like 20 seconds. ^^”

The exam period is getting very near for me now, and therefore I’m afraid that I may not have time to really write one a day definitely until after the exams. D:

BUT I SHALL TRY MY BESTEST >:DD
Because I’m so hardcore like that <3 :’D

Definitely though, After the exam period (last exam being 2nd Feb)~ I shall almost certainly return to my routine :3~

-nodnod-

That is all for now, I shall resume my posts tomorrow ;D

THANKQ FOR CHECKING MY BLOG DESPITE INACTIVITY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS~ :’D (unless you saw this post through following me. then.. yeah. :3 xD)

-wave- (^^,)/”~~~

6/366

This was an extremely hard thing to write about. I don’t remember any really “stand-out” memories of my childhood, but I can say one thing for sure; watch the video below. Need I say more? ^^”

It’s not just Pixar. Of course it isn’t. Disney as a whole and Dreamworks. I find that sometimes we forget what life is really about. As we grow into adults, we tend to forget the magic of childhood because we are so caught up in technology, our careers, our education and whatnot.

Studio Ghibli especially. My god, those films can truly reach out to the hearts of all of us D:

Do you remember wanting to run through the plains of Africa with Simba?

Fight monsters with Hercules?

Swing through the jungle with Tarzan?

Go to the enchanted castle with Belle?

Go to the ball with Cinderella?

Ride a magic carpet with Aladdin?

Save China with Mulan?

Turn into mer-people and go under the sea with Ariel?

^^”~

Although It may not be exactly a childhood memory nor may it be my most valuable childhood experience, these animation studios really did make my childhood memorable<3 ^^

I thank the lessons that they taught about life; the lessons of friendship and love, the lessons of courage and adventure and lessons of bravery and morality.

5/366 - About Me [Academia]

Taweetahhwooooo~ :3

YO~!! :’D Midway through the school week now and all’s good eh~ :’)
I do hope you are happy and smiling because I’m about to bore you to death with my next part in the CHRONICLES OF JACKY 8D xD… Academia -.-‘

 

»»I am currently studying in Year 13; Last year of High School before University ^^”
»» Subjects; Economics, Maths, Geography

»»My GCSEs weren’t great for what I’m aiming for; 6A*s 2As 2Bs

»»AS Levels (Max A)

-Economics —> A —> Predicted *
-Maths —> A —> Predicted *
-Geography —> A —> Predicted *
-Biology —> A  —> Dropped

»»I hope to go to either LSE or UCL and study Economics (L100) or Economics with a Year Abroad respectively~ ^^

»»I started getting tutored back when I was approximately 6 years old by private tutors (mostly uni students looking to make money for teaching addition and subtraction in maths. :3).

»»From then I have always had some form of extra study through to now, whereby I am part of Kumon (Mathematics Tuition). o:

»»That kind of explains why I have always been ahead of everybody in my class with maths T.T’

»»I find my academic performance of great importance. Very little things come before education for me~ D: Good/bad thing? I don’t know. I just hope it gets me somewhere in the future :’D

»»I have had the thinking; ‘Study hard today for an easy life in the future’ hammered in by my mum for the last 17 years. :D

»»Apparently, after looking at the Imperial College Health Centre. I am classed as being a Perfectionist Student~ o: But what does that mean;

-denial of vulnerability, wanting total control
-critical of the “system”, passive-aggressive
-sets impossible goals, so never feels “good enough” or “safe enough”
-obsessive, workaholic tendencies; or procrastination 

^That is so me :[ xD

During these stressful times of exams and stress, I thought i’d be appropriate to share the ways in which I revise. This is not necessarily the most effective way for you~ BE WARNED >:DD EVERYBODY BE DIFFERENT :’D

I learnt a lot of these through asian methods of revising hard from my cousin who is a studying beast D: She studies so much that it scares me T.T’ BUT HERE WE GOO~ :D

»»Never stay up the night before the exam

»»Review and Review your notes until you fall asleep. Your brain has the capability of reviewing the things you’ve learned just until you fall asleep, do your best to memorise as much as possible.

»»Only things on your desk should be your book and a pencil. Get rid of anything that can distract you (e.g. food, phone etc.)

»»The internet is a monster that steals your time >:[ Only use the internet for past papers or when researching.

»»When you’re studying, only study. Concentration shouldn’t be misled due to music. Although I listen to music personally, It’s music that I cannot follow lyrics to and therefore just background noise for me.

»»Think of all subjects as one subject. Sometimes a subject intertwines with another and answers might be found in other subjects rather than the exam subject you are taking.

»»Be neat and tidy with your revision notes.

»»DO PAST PAPERS. <—— Don’t be discouraged if you get low marks. Keep on trying and review the areas that are putting you down over and over.

»»Follow a Study Plan. I draw up an appropriate study plan for myself. This tells me my learning schedule and what I should be doing each day.

»»Manage Your Time Well;

-Make a detailed schedule of your time. Details such as ‘Within this given time, I will solve ‘x’ number of Maths problems.’  This gives a clearer view of your objective.

-Use left over time wisely. Rest time should be scheduled to 10 minutes. Then use the times such as after meals, while going back and forth, or while on the bus to review. You will discover a lot of that valuable time in a 24-hour period.

»»21 days before the exams (3 weeks); start to adjust yourself to a good sleeping routine. To sleep well and to be fresh at all times is the best remedy. ^^

»»Studying will always be part of your life. Throughout the rest of your life, studying will become a part of your daily schedule :D~ There will also be various numbers of exams in the future throughout your life as well; this will help you learn to be more efficient and build up confidence :3

»»Be confident about your exam preparation.

»»Mathematics Exams. 

-Applicable capability and reasoning ability take up 20% of math. Most of it is just to use basic formulae, LEARN THOSE FORMULAE :D

- Just like learning the times table, you must use formulae to repeatedly practice problems. If you know the formulae off by heart, using those there can earn you 80%+ in math.

-Graph problems. Picturing problems is the golden key to solving many mathematics equation questions. 

»»Essay Exams.

-Style of Writing. Recognise that different subjects require different ways of writing and therefore practice the different styles as much as possible by doing past papers or whatnot :D

-Read and Read Again. Read what the examiner is saying and read again to comprehend, underlining the key words to understand what the examiner wants in the essay.

-Understand the Context. The text and study material provide the information you need and what context your essay needs to be.

ZOMG~ Today was such a happy day for me o.o’ So many good and happy things were happening and plus the weather was good which helps to lighten up the mood does it not? :’DD

YAYAYAYA~ FIRSTLY. let’s do this in chronological order from morning to now :’D~ Waking up to find Xiao Long Baos on the kitchen table of which I happily took advantage of and NOM’D THEM DOWN >:DD NOMNOMNOM~ :3 So nice :’D xD

School was just not really school because I only had 2 hours of school to do :3 so yeah~ But then in the middle of school I got a random ass text from Milky >:[ Whom I actually havn’t spoken to in YONKSS D: Yes. I’m going to call her Milky and not her real name because I am cool, yo!~ :’D

BUT YAHHH~ she had excellent news which made me happy :DD Maybe it’s just me being nerdy but I was genuinely happy for her getting what you can see below :3;
 

It was an assessed assignment in Uni and to get a grade like that means we all know a first class honours degree is coming our way ;D!!~ WELL DONE MILKS ^0^”

THIRDLY~ :3
My driving lesson went really well today o: like SMOOTH~ :3 AWW YEAAA~ :’D I think i’ll be ready to take the test with just a little more practice ^0^
The weather was really nice aswell o: makes me happy even moarrr~!! :D

FOURTHLY~ :’D
Llammy gets excellent, but predicted news from Birmingham university ;D Hearing friends getting offers makes me so happy :] Especially when they get all depressed about it beforehand saying that they won’t get in ;D
I Believe in Yoooohhh~   Still Blubbs and Nooby.


FITHFFTHFTHLY ? LOL :’D My spelling. :3

SNSD ALBUM ASFHLASKFHLKASFHLKASHFLKASHFLKASH ARRIVED

4/366 - About Me [Music]

Hello!~ :’D
The topic today is yet another ‘About Me’ part~ Because noone obviously knows me~ :3 Although, today’s topic is unlikely to gather as much interest as the last post on ‘Romance’ o:

Hmm~ I wonder why ;D
But nevertheless, I must thankQ for showing your support to my ‘Romance’ post by liking it :DD Made me super happys :’D xD

Okay! LEGOO~ PART 3; MUSIC :D

»»I LOVE music. So So Much<3 :D

»»Music has the ability to make me feel better, seriously D: It’s amazing o.o’

»»Music has the ability to help me relax and even concentrate through motivation that it can give.

»»My music is mostly made up of kpop. As seen below. :’D BECAUSE KPOP IS AMAZINGGGG<3 :’D

»»My iTunes library consists of 1357 songs, bringing it to take up 11.65GB and continuous play would give me 4.2 days of music. :DD~

»»Out of the 1357 songs that I have, 1056 of them are Korean :3 PAHA. :’D

»»There are hardly parts of the day whereby I havn’t got music playing. I tend to constantly have music playing through my headphones at school (not in class though unless i’m allowed :3) and at home music is always blasting out of my room :’DD

Isn’t music just amazing<3 :’)

Due to the near 80% dominance of my iTunes library being korean, I made a different section just for Kpop :’DD

»»I started to listen to Kpop in early 2008, back when Wonder Girls had just brought out ‘Tell Me’ :’D~ Tell me Tell me T-T-T-T-Tell meeee~ :3

»»Mega SNE alert :’D~ (SNSD)Bias; Taeyeon&&Tiffany :’D  (TaeNy) :3

»»Being a boy, I guess it makes sense that most of my kpop is comprised of female singers and girl bands :3~ MOST. not all >:[ Please don’t be mad D: xD

»»Kpop has really taken over my life and, if i’m honest, changed it for the better ^^” I’m happy to have been exposed to this amazing genre of music and the culture it brings :’D

»»I sincerely believe Kpop has made me a better person :D

»»Kballads are my motivation to work. Whenever I get into that ‘CBA TO DO WORK’ kinda mood, Kballads tend to provide me with enough motivation to squeeze some work out of me :’D

»»Kballads are therefore the stuff that I use during my revision for exams, I understand that some people find that music is distracting but~ well~ I guess it’s personal preference ^__^”

10/01/2012 - Top 5 Songs I am LOVIN’ At The Moment~ :’D

Today, yet again just a standard school day ^^” 
OFCOURSE IT’S BEARABLE THOUGH :’D BECAUSE I HAD STARBUCKSS IN DA MORNING :’D~ This allowed me to handle the day okay and stay awake I guess :3

Due to the amount of free periods I had today plus the lunch and break times, coming to a total of 3 and a half hours~ Me and a group of friends decided to drive into town and chill :’D And by chill I meant them sitting drinking coffee in waterstones (Costa) while I sat and read mangas :’D xD

I was suprised to find an anime that I’m currently watching, with some kind of llammy may i add, in manga form and therefore just decided to read :3 ‘Higurashi’~ :’DD <3 

After that, I came home and did a maths past paper of which told me that I had nearly perfected it D: 96% >.>

However, There is still work to be done and revision in need to secure high marks in my exams >:[ -nodnod- 

But it’s cool, ME GOT MAH BALLADS :’DD

-wavewave-

Not too interesting today; SORRY D:~

3/366 - About Me [Romance]

SUPTINGZ~ :’D
Mondays eh~ T.T’ What a horrible day. The mark to say ‘THIS IS THE END OF YOUR RESTING WEEKEND’ and start another week of studying :3

As for the topics of today, I appeared to have missed the last themed thursday, which had the theme ‘What do you expect/look for in a relationship’… ._. I do not want to make a themed thursday topic into a themed monday kinda thing. :’D

So imma not call it my theme for today but use that as the basis for my next ‘About me’ part.. Romance. ^^”

 

»»My ideal type of girl;

-Shorter or Relatively Same Height I am short for a boy which really doesn’t help with this point though /cry T.T’ xD

-Asian I suppose this is mostly due to manners and asian culture if i’m honest. However, I do like to think that I’m not racist D:<3? :3

-Manners and Respect is quite big I guess D: I really can’t stand people without manners ._. But sometimes I’m ill-mannered I guess. What a hypocrite I am >3<”

-Educated. This is quite a big thing for me although it may not be exactly very important~ :3 I do like people who have a clue about what goes on in the world and how stuff works :’D~ But it’s okay, all asians are educated *rolls eyes* ;D

-Similar Interests. I don’t really know my own interests if I’m honest though o.o’ I guess it just someone who, on the most part, enjoy what I enjoy doing or whatnot~ not a huge deal though :D

-Caring, Patient, Understanding, Kind. I do get extremely stressy and out-of-hand when I’m ticked off D:~ I want someone to understand that anything I say or think during these times aren’t meant to their fullest… especially if I say harsh things that would, otherwise, completely destroy the relationship. I do however, want to improve on my emotions and am trying to~ :D ALLS GOOD~ ^^”

-Trustworthy (ofcourse Jacky >.>) I get jealous easily D:~ It’s not good. I know >.> HAISHHH~ T.T’ xD

-Someone who can ultimately, Be herself. What’s the point in being in a relationship where the other person may feel forced to not say or do something or whatnot. Someone who can be herself is fine~ whether I like it or not <3 (:

-Hard Working. Yes. Yes. Yes. BIG YES D:~

-Great sandwich maker. no cereal please. <—- See what I did thair~?! :DD

-It does however stand that these are just ideal~ It’s extremely unlikely that I’m going to get all these into one in the future though, I know and I accept that. :’D xD

-Actually. Just give me these two <33 

.

 

»»I’m such a sucker for girls who can sing D: Especially really powerful vocals :3 TAEEENGOOO~<3 :’D 

»»Being able to draw is a plus :D

»»Smile. ^^ Always one of the most attractive things of a girl in my opinion :D

»»One in which can mess around and joke about :3~

»»Playful :D but also can be serious and calm at others ^__^”

»»ahmm~ I can’t think of much moar~ D:

»»A Perfect Date; If i’m quite honest, I much prefer the more quiet side of things~ maybe due to my personality being more towards not being so talkative. A perfect time out for me would be something along the lines of just a night spent lying, gazing at the stars on a mountain or whatnot… just, talking~ ^^ Too boring for some people? Yeah~ I guess heh~ oh well~ :3

Orh~~ o.o’
Did a boy seriously just write all that? Wtf Jacky D: STOP NAO. :3 

ASFLKHASLKFHLKA~ THIS MORNING D:~
Me wakeys up and apparently during the 7 hours I was asleep, A spider was able to wind up a MAHOOSIVE web next to my bed and just SIT there D: Me. Me no likey spiders. Me + Spiders = No can do. Na Ah. -makes ‘X’ with arms- :D

School day, so nothing much to say there though. It was bearable only because I had coffeeeeeee~ STARBUCKIESSS AND COSTAA~ <3 :’D

Nothing much actually happened today ._. The only really dominant thing I did today was listen to music for like 90% of the day, seeing as every lesson is just revision D: If not that then I would just be chatting >.> ASFLKHASLKGFH~

 -nodnod-
And now time for me to shower, eat, then do more revision >:DD ONE MUST NOT FAIL THESE EXAMS :’D

Ganbatte Llammy. You’ll be fine. GET WORKING :D

-wavewave
THAT IS ALL FOR TODAY :’D

TOODLES :3

2/366 - About Me [Basics]

If i’m going to be quite honest, I don’t think there’s anywhere on the internet where I’ve made an ‘about me’ page.
Seeing as I’m tired after just getting back from home, I shall make this the subject for this post :’D Seeing as its… less stressful I guess ^^”


»My full name is Jacky Tse

»I was born in Malaysia, moved over to UK when I was approximately 3 months old… so I guess you could say I’m a BBC? :3 [British Born Chinese]

»Being born in Malaysia doesn’t mean my ethnicity is Malaysian, I am full Chinese with a Malaysian nationality ^^ But whatever :3~

»Malaysia is indeed multiracial with a wide variety of languages used. I am, however, a fail Malaysian :[ My cousin who lives in Malaysia can speak 6 languages (English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Malay, and some other muslim-like language D:) which completely puts me to shame. 
I speak 3 (Cantonese, Mandarin, English)

»I am an only child.

»I tend to be shy to people whom I do not know or who I feel have greater authority and power over me (e.g. Teachers, Other Parents etc.)

»I am known to be stubborn.

»I rage easily, feel depressed easily, am easily pleased. I guess you could say I’m extremely emotional. For a boy anyway ^^

»I have travelled to various corners of the world; France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Ireland, Hungary, Netherlands, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, China (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Suzhou).

»I really wish to go to; Japan [Tokyo, Hokkaido], South Korea [Jeju, Seoul], USA [New York, California].

Aaaandddd~ That’s about it for the basics D: I really can’t think atm~ Maybe because it’s really late and I cereal need to get into bed for school tomorrow D:

-nodnod- :3

Today… Haish~ Such a boring day. D:

Seriously, waking up at 10am, I spent like 3 hours addicted to a game on my iphone cleaning and massaging pets in my super duper amazing pet store!!~ :’D xD

Then? Just revision >.>
SUCH A STANDARD BORING DAY ._. BUT ITS OKAY GUYYZZ~ :3 Me had jelly beans. Jelly beans save lives. Jelly beans are all. Jelly beans are a bit too chewy for my liking and therefore get stuck on the teeth which is quite fustrating but nevertheless, Jelly beans are sexy<3 :’D

Suprise suprise though o: after revision; it’s time for work o:  NO TAIMMEEE TO CHILL D: (maybe i shouldn’t have spent 3 hours laying in bed ._. :D)

At work. WHO EVEN ASKS FOR 9 PINTS OF COKE AND 3 PINTS OF DIET COKE T.T’
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES ME TO POUR THATTTT D:~ eurgh. xD

But on the brighter side, It wasn’t busy and therefore I could just chill but perhaps that’s what made me nearly fall asleep at work eh~ :[

But its cool. SKYPE TO THE RESCUE :’D 

It appears that a lovely conversation planning for this summer sprouted up, catching my interests :3 although, I didn’t go onto skype for that reason o.o’ 
But let’s say I did :D!~ I’m no social hermit :3~ …heh heh. ^^

9pm strikes and I thought It’d be about time that I would be able to head home and I called for MAHMIEEEE~ to pick me up :’) STANDARD MAHMIEE COMES WITH A BOX OF DECORATIONS FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR D:

like. A BOX. a … MAHOOSIVE BOX T.T’ and she wants to put them all up before we go. T_________T

So i helped :3~ Chinese lanterns, Homemade cool little fishies made out of red pockets :’DD Like really well hand made o.o’ sent from malaysia from my mum’s cousin apparently who made them herself :’D

And i’m just there pondering. What do I call my mum’s cousin? :3 LOL :’D
I still has no answer ^____^”

Oh well. I just typed out the most useless and informative description of my day ever. There was no need for anyone to read nor should you if i’m honest :3 PAHA. :’D

-wave-
Time to sleepies :’D
SWEET DREAMS YO!!~ ^^”

1/366 - Introduction

 Today, 07/01/2012, marks the start to my project 366 blog. It appears though, that I’ve started 6 days later than other people which already makes me feel like such a dimbo -.-‘

Furthermore, I never really thought about making one of these. I suppose you could say I fell to peer pressure, with a large group of my friends doing project 366s. Its not ideal, having this burden to write something everyday, but how much harm can it really cause.. eh? ^^

It does however, feel nice to be part of something. To be able to do something together with friends that tend to only be connected through the internet. :D
I’m sure sometime in the future, I’ll look back onto this blog and, undoubtedly,  it will make me smile (:

I hope you can all support me in seeing my project366 to the end :’D~
and I sincerely hope that my posts will not bore you too much ;D

Why am i doing this though…

There is must be something mentally retarded with me.
Or I just give in to friend’s wills too easily. 
Either way… I think this will be fun :’D

You should try too!~ :D that is, if you don’t already have one ;D
