Too Long

The title perfectly describes my time away from the blogosphere. For some reasons I seem to be blogging lesser day by day. It might be the lack of inspiration, or lack of motivation. But as if I didn't know this day would come any sooner. And to think that I used to blog everyday some 4 years ago, hmm, must have been way too bored then.

I would absolutely be lying if I make a stupid promise again that I'll blog more frequently, yada yada yada. So I'm just going to say, I hope inspiration strikes me soon enough to let me blog like I used to. 'Though my initial plans to improve my vocabulary were seemingly (temporarily) put off, all thanks to my rather packed schedule and endless list of to-dos. I mean, come on, it's Chinese New Year season - I've got shopping to do.

Speaking of which, isn't it time to spring clean my room already?

Lately (as in since SPM ended) I've been eliminating loads and loads of rubbish collected over my innocent, okay, IGNORANT childhood. It's rather pleasing, because it feels like you're finally getting rid of the despicable, obnoxious child in you. Growing up is amusing. More doors are opened, more risks are supposed to be taken, and more crazy moments await.


Friends who started college, toasts to you. But I'll never comprehend the joy of starting school so soon when you've just barely escaped it after 11 tedious years. Or maybe I'm just a sad rebellious kid who prioritizes fun over education. Alright, who am I kidding? Working can be pretty educational too if you ask me. So far I've learned how to fold and unfold a wheelchair, know the difference between a Hi-Lo and a Double Fowler, what are Crocs shoes composed of, and the definition of KIV.

In school, you're given a lesson and then a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. So I picked the latter.

Being around colleagues that are so diverse in personalities and family backgrounds and education, I've discovered that people are connected by one single factor: mutual understanding. Tolerating and agreeing with opinions is what makes the world go round. Orbit. Whatever. My point being, my days of being a self-conceited moron are to be left far behind. I'll try really hard to be a better person.

Despite all the things happening around, one fact is inevitable: Results. Whenever I think about it I shudder. My hairs stand up, my spine freezes, and I feel like I having a melt down so that I can weep my eyeballs out. No, it's not that I didn't do well. But it's just so unpredictable. And that's just me being the usual wimp that I am before the one thing that potentially defines my future and my life is revealed. My nightmares aren't doing any good to me either.

I know well enough not to relate stupid visions with reality. But the truth is brutal, they say.

Till we meet again.

Yayasan Khazanah: First & Second Stage

Undeniably, scholarships and I tend to have rather... complicated relationships. The first one I applied for (and a quite prestigious one for heaven's sake) didn't qualify because reckless little me missed out one of the application procedures. I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice.  Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...

Yet Another Door Opens

It has been an awful long while since the last time I found myself sitting in front of my laptop, wanting nothing else but some peace and alone time. All this while I've been occupied, physically and mentally, so much that letting myself sink into thoughts seemed like a little too much to ask for. Right now less than 24 hours before I get on a plane and embark on a journey unknown, words are flowing, thoughts that I haven't had much time for are slowly resurfacing - all I feel is restless. As cliche as it gets, you can't help yourself from looking back when you've come so far. And I have come so far. Anyone who has been through a dark phase in their lives and subsequently managed to pull themselves together and emerge as a better person would understand this: no matter how many times it seems like it's raining stones upon us, we're never really broken. Every time we hit the ground hard we grow an inch taller, readier to stand and face whatever's in our w...
