Day3:
Hello guys and welcome back!
So today was thursday I think. But anyhow I was assigned into a team to create a parody and progress was awesome. We had finished with the ascetic lyrics of the parody and now trying ot integrated some choreography into it. The leader, being a perfectionist, kept us practicing whenever there's free time. I was actually getting nauseous with what we had to kept repeating over and over again. Although he knew my current situation, he kept ggiving porous excuses for me to stay but at some point he had to let me out on some practice sessions. The leader was my roomate and every time he went to check if Im studying it would be like this:
"Have studied for 2 hours, taking a break with playing with my phone. Roommate comes in. Says that Im just finding excuses to not go to training. Lets of a tyrade about my laziness and his efforts"
Hmmm
I just gave a grimace of pity towards his innocuos comments. By this time I am about halfway-through the book. The ubiquity of other sloths were also noticed, I just held my thoughts at when it was my time to relax and their time to struggle. Hahaha which is currently happening now.
A little bit about the parody is that it was to be showed after the weekends. In Johor the weekends are Friday and Saturday. Not surprisingly people's who are used with Saturday and Sunday weekends find it odd to not be realxing on Sunday. The real training and final touches were tomorrow. I guess thats just it for today.

Quest to SAT
Day2:
Today was the fist day of the orientation and......... I woke up late. After prayer and a little bite, I found myself walking filled with resignation in front of the hall we were suppose to gather. We started off the day with abit of exercise and jog. During break time I preoccupied myself with SAT pratice apps in my phone. My friends around me had face of question marks when they saw me do this. It was then that I divulged my plan to take the SAT early. Although it was just an english test, I found some of my friends in awe when seeing such degree of wordplay. I myself was just getting use to with the language applied. I tried to chasten my ways from practice to practice. At this point I was more concentrated with understanding the text rather than racing the time constraint. Later that day, we were divided into groups using a very interesting method: Each person was given a puzzlepiece and we have to find which pieces fit each other and that was our team. We were then given the task to create a parody of a song. Sounds fine but wait. I have no time for that. I have an SAT in 9 days.
Well you know what they say "no sacrifice no victory". Guest which did I sacrifice? Find out at my next post coming up soon. If Im not lazy enough to do it.

Quest to SAT
ok guys I know its been a long time since I last posted but I hope you guys enjoy my article
When I first arrived at KKTM (Mara High Skills College) Ledang, I was so stressed out because I was the only guy who was seriously studying. Owh. Beforehand, my dad registered me for the SAT at 24th January. And I had close to 10 days to peruse and cull those important points from my SAT books. Anyhow, like I said, I sacrificed my evening's play, my naptime and my homework time to prepare myself for this test.
The fact that there was only one english lecturer that time, even she was busy, left me riven in my decision makings.I was peripatetic, searching for help and composure of my situation. Maybe it would be clearer if I made this into a chronological order:
Prior to attending KKTML:
(Just after SPM ended):
Hussni: yeah Im free !!!
My dad: Hussni I got plans for you,you're gonna take the SAT this January.
Hussni: What's an SAT?
The time went by until I received admission into KKTML
DAY1:
Today was the day I rejoice college life. I woke from bed, bathed, wore formal attire and embark on 3 hour drive to KKTML. After the tedious registration and seemingly interminable speech, I got some rest. My friends and I were informed that there would be a 3-day orientation and with the realization that the SAT in just within 10 days, I coud almost espied my failure in it. I decided to subvert from my indolent-self into a workaholic or so that was the plan. Going back with the storyline, I got myself into a room with roommates I already know for a long time, there were from my old school, but still it was ok. The surau for me was stunningly immense but it's inhabitants were not so much. We got plates that we have to wash on a certain basis but everything was ok. I think?
im sleepy ill continue next time...

As the clerk of the office, Michael had a mundane life,consigned to regimenting scattershot files, that seemed interminable. One day, his disposition towards the job subverted, hating it and thinking all this years had only piqued him. He had enough to deal with a petulant boss who's curt instructions are always misleading. He didn't wait to get fired, he ousted himself from the office because he handles almost all the filing.

If i were to get this question and not know most the meaning, i would leave it beacuse the SAT deducts points if answer incorrectly. The answer is d. i made it like this so it is harder to get a glimpse of the answer.
