Stop, But Don't Stare

Just a heads up: I have absolutely no intention to ever stop blogging, I might be irregular but no - I won't let this blog dwell in eternal slumber. It kinda just means more depressing posts to come, okay.

I'm the type of person who gets less worried towards exams and it's not a good thing. Look at me now, blogging away while a pile of work rests by my desk. How threatening. Oh well, I'm prepared for the worst anyway.

There is something I wanna get off my chest: I really really really miss my friends. and myself.

I anticipated graduation, but right now I'd give anything to go back to last year, to reunite with everyone in school. They say you'll never have friends like high school friends anymore, and that saying is more true than ever. No other friendship can defeat one that has lasted for more than 5 years, that has been through so many obstacles just to stay intact even until seperated. I still love every single fight we've had, every bowl of dessert we shared, every bizarre thing we did in class.

I miss how high school was so hectic.

Everything changed too fast once I've reached here, and it's because of my lack of adaptability that I've had trouble managing myself. I miss having paperwork due everyday, how recess was never recess and I would be forced to practically lodge in the office just to get everything done. I miss how there was always an excuse to skip classes I hated, and that being in class just means hiding under my books and sleep. Sure, it was all panic and stress when SPM was near, but I was happy back then.

And finally, realizing everything has changed too fast and the good old times will never return, I shall continue to reminisce and pray for December to arrive - and never leave again.

Less than a month to go.

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...
