nonsensical babble: not sleeping (and ULBS BM)

Assalamualaikum.

As I am writing this post, it is currently 11.50 p.m.

Yes, another post written late at night. Seriously, I'm unhealthy and sleep deprived. I wonder if this is why I'm still ugly? Because I lack beauty sleep. Or, maybe puberty hasn't hit me yet. Not sure.

I've been neglecting this blog for the past month (or is it months? not even a clue) and I feel guilty. It's quite funny because the same thing happens to my Tumblr account, which I made just a few months ago because I was getting bored with my older one, as well. It is safe to say the last time I've logged into my Tumblr was in May, or maybe April? Whatever. It has been a very, very long time.

In all honesty, I truly do love writing on this blog. Perhaps it's because I feel comfortable, knowing that there won't be many people reading it, though I have a suspicion that someday one of my friends will find out about this. After all, I did put the blog's link on my twitter, so something like that will bound to happen anytime sooner. Unless they already did go to my blog, but kept it from me.

I will never know.

Tomorrow, I have a ULBS (ujian lisan berasaskan sekolah) for subject Bahasa Melayu, and I'm more than nervous. As a Malay individual, I should feel confident. I've been speaking Malay my entire life; it is my first language or mother language (mother tongue?) or native language or whatever you call it. Me, including three other girls who are all good friends of mine were told to form a group and do some sort of 'forum' in front of the class.  Ya know, like a talk show or ceramah, something like that. We even had to choose one person to be our pengerusi majlis.

Sounds a bit beria, right? Well it is over the top. In fact, our class is (probably) the only one out of six classes that has to do this. We can't really go against our BM teacher, Cikgu Z, unless we want to fall into her worst student list, which is a big no-no. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with talking in front of class, but after I found out that we had to do this forum thingy, I couldn't think properly. I start to feel anxious.

Even if we work as a group, we get individual marks.

Therefore, I don't want to screw up.

I got full mark on my ULBS BM berseorangan that I did a few months ago, I really, really don't want to get low marks for this one. This group ULBS revolves around KOMSAS (puisi tradisional, prosa tradisional, cerpen, drama etc). Our group got 'Gurindam Dua Belas'. Is it bad if I say I don't even know what Gurindam really is? Like, is it similar to Sajak or Syair or what. God, if Cikgu Z finds out about this, she'll be disappointed in me for sure.

Oh look, it's now 12.24 a.m.

How time flies when you are having fun (am I, though? Ok nah, just kidding).

I've got to go, though. It's quite late, and if Dad sees me still awake in the middle of the night, he'll throw a fit. You don't want to see my Dad getting angry, that's for sure.

Goodnight, blog. See you next time.
