Saturday test -.-

YAY

I went to Barclays today and finally ordered the ATM card for the savings account. I also handed in the tax exemption form. Hmmm the card should arrive on Wednesday. ISA Saver Issue 1 has a tax-free interest of 2.02% (not bad, but you can only deposit  £5,340 per tax year---which is going to end soon)


The monthly savings has a higher interest rate of 3.25% ---nice,but  no more than 12 monthly deposits (including the initial deposit), each of at least £20 but not more than £250, up to a maximum of £3,000 in the first year. Very good if you hardly/never touch your money. If you withdraw anything=lower interest :|


































It's not funny when your calculator gets FROZEN during a statistics test -.-  Seriously, SHARP calculators have a big problem. The first SHARP I had didn't work--- ALSO DURING A MATHS EXAM IN SEC 3 ******** Fortunately I had a CASIO. Now, it freaking froze on me. It worked after a while, but who would take a chance next time? Nooo the Maths was messed up. 


At least, it was fine during Chemistry. 
Definitely have more than 1 calculator next time.

FREAKKKKKKK Why the hell must there be a fire drill at night. This is the 3rd time already.
Lol I was using earbuds and couldn't hear the alarm, even though it was in my room.  
Yeah, finally went to Barclays Bank in Castle Street Shrewsbury. I deposited some money and enquired about the PIN. The banker reordered the PIN. Hopefully, it will come this time. Wow I like that PIN Sentry card reader. Looks so cool when I saw it at the counter. Hopefully, that will be in the mail too.

I get to go upstairs, sit down and talk to a Personal Banker, Paula Donnelly

Appointment next week to apply for ATM card for savings.

What I've noticed about the Wi-Fi here is that the speed alternates between upload & download when loading a Youtube video. -.- No fast video downloads.

Monday 16 January 2012

I checked my mail in the mailroom. Wow Barclays PLC sent me a stack of things.

Let's see:

1 cheque book
1 giro credit booklet
1 Barclays Visa Debit Card

Letters for current & savings were also sent. There was also the online banking letter.

The only thing missing ? The PIN for the Debit Card... zzz
The e-mail also mentioned the PIN Sentry card reader, which I have yet to receive.

YAY

YEAH INTERNET IS FAST NOW 48ms 15.56 Mbps upload 12.92 Mbps upload.
Lol I'm such a joker.

I don't know why, but Internet is increasingly difficult to access at night. (probably going to turn it off). It was not possible to login using my laptop. It just kept showing waiting for 192.168.44.4
It seems strange that I can log in and access internet on my phone. So, what I decided to do, was to tether the working Wi-Fi connection from the Galaxy S II to my laptop. Haha it actually works.


Also, I find that there is something odd on the galaxy S II. I do not need to login using my 'smooth wall' account to use Facebook (the mobile Android app) However, usage without logging in is limited and viewing of photos/videos cannot be carried out.


Lol Internet is fine at 12:39AM

Sunday 15 January 2012





THAT EXPLAINS IT -.-


I'm sharing Wi-Fi with 15+ people ? zzz bad timing






Anyway, I think Youtube videos are throttled, because even if the actual speed appears to be 3 Mbps, it doesn't load like a 3 Mbps speed. :| Ping to Coventry is about 200ms. (not very impressive)










HAHAHA I was first in the supper queue. 'Mate 5 minutes time' or 'Not ready until 5 minutes time' lol
No plans for today. I went through the heart worksheets for Biology.
Next is Physics.


Haha, at least I can watch BBC online in the UK.

Well this wireless internet is not really reliable. Sometimes it can be 0.5Mbps and sometimes it can be 10Mbps

-.-

The Maths and Chemistry tests were doable.


Yea I got to go to Shrewsbury town today.  I bought blueberries 300g, cherries 250g, red seedless grapes 500g, all at £2 each. I have tried the blueberries and grapes. They are quite good. I also bought some snacks from Marks & Spencer. We walked around inside the mall... nothing much in there.
Hmmm, where do all these people live ?

I have to step out at 10:30 pm and go to the main hall. Very nice.

Friday 13 January 2012

I'm going for 2nd Prep soon.
Chemistry test .... tomorrow.

Thursday 12 January 2012

Wednesday 11 January 2012

Biology was fine, about the heart with additional information like chordae tendineae, papillary muscles and the elastic recoil
We have started waves in Physics, with all that polarizing filters and light.


Oh man, that Cognitive Ability Test was really bad. It lasted for 3 hours. Doesn't make sense at all lol...
So many number patterns... dislike that now. Folding paper ? Come on.




At least, future Wednesdays don't have to be spent like this again.

Monday 9 January 2012

Yea, lessons started today. Not bad. I shall see what is there to come. The English looks very interesting, analysing and creating texts. I wish I was good in that.

Sunday 8 January 2012

Wow today was fun. (The high ropes) Yea I managed to climb to the top of the pole and stood on the sea-saw. I also climbed all the way to the top of a pole, stood on the platform and walked off the edge. Love the wind and acceleration.

Wahahaha lessons begin tomorrow.

Sunday 1 January 2012

Lol on SQ 322 to LHR, so many people were holding British Passports and I got a little jealous hahaha...
EU passport = win.

Harrods

I just got back from Harrods... Wonderful food there. I had Oysters, rib eye bone-in for dinner. That was good. Why are there so many hawt white girls? (especially the blondes/brunettes).......

I've seen some responses to this.
One said white girls make you smile, asian girls don't. Hahaha
