No.37 - Today I.....


had a relatively fair day. had 2 activities today.


1st event : out to 'yumcha' with erin and tee-ni.

went cashier market for 'suet san'. its some sort like 'ais kacang', high ice mountain. i ordered honey dew flavoured. not sweet enough, not nice. chit chat about our study life. nothing much, just like a brief meet-up.

white ice mountain with green jellies and red watermelon. cooling for a hot day.




2nd event : cycled to lake garden.

its been very long since i last cycled. if i not mistaken a week or two before grandma passed away. so its almost 7months already. surprisingly i dint feel that tired and dint sweat much too. but still...slow. i used to be able to cycle to lake garden in less than 10minutes, going up the flyover. now, i need around 15minutes. age catching up with me? or...the gravity pulling my heavy body thus no matter how fast i pedalled, still il be slow? i wonder.. got to get back in shape.

my 2-wheeled mercedes decided to take a rest as soon as it reached lake garden

No.36 - Today I.....

being a Malaysian, enjoyed the King of Thorns! its the durian season. this time its more significant eating the durian, as im the one who pry (is it the right word?) open it. as i was looking the 'flower' (thats where the opening is, it helps to open easier), i saw a....HOLE! thats when i knew there's sure to be a.....worm in it, unless it escaped already. so i opened it..true enough, there's another hole in between. there, yes, there i could see a worm, no, no, not a normal worm, BUT a F-A-T-T-Y worm. must be real juicy if i squeeze it (but i wouldnt do that, its disgusting and im scared of it). so i saved whichever pieces (is this right? but i dont know what else sounds correct) of durian that are safe to be eaten. then i decided to throw away the balance side where the worm was.

the opened durian, spot the hole


the parts where the durian was infested by the stupid, fatty worm


durians, anyone? its finger-not-so-licking-good

tried taking picture of the worm, but not clear, its ok, its better still, so that it wouldnt infest my blog!

anyway, the durian didnt taste nice, quite tasteless and flesh hard. but still, the durian is
special

No.34 - Today I.....

am back, yes, finally after 2weeks of absence. why was I away for so long? as stated in my previous post, no more said, more to be done. yes, thats exactly what I did. ive been physically, mentally and spiritually drained out for the past 2weeks, but certainly things been getting better, I hope so. so here's a recap of what happened.


1st of all, a picture of the gathering (13/6) (refer back to post no.31)

went back to both my high schools. to Convent to watch drama competition and visit teachers while to Hua Lian to visit teachers, certify certs and seek advice on further studies.


-at Convent (30/6). yes, now the building is yellow. again photo courtesy of Su Lin, Ooi's camera-


went visit Pn.Chuah, our Modern Maths teacher for Form 4 and Pn.Toh, our Add Maths teacher for Form 4 at their house. transported Pn.Chuah to Pn.Toh's for this picture.

now its the part where Im gonna explain why I was away for so long. the mental torture and spiritual draining out. many expected me to be down, yes, REAL DOWN after receiving the result of admission into public university. a few teachers told me that they wanted to call me up and ask hows everything but they were afraid i was too distraught to speak. yes, i admit, i WAS down, but just for one day. i felt, why sulk so long like i did when after spm and stpm results out. if i continue sulking, il have no time and will miss the boat. so i got back on my feet, cracked my head. spent hours a day infront of the computer, typing appeal letters, searching for scholarships/loans etc. talked to this person, talked to that person. so uncertain of my decision as it doesnt depend on me solely. not a day passed by without thinking and worrying and sighing.
i did all my appeal on sunday (21/6) and sent them the next day. on the evening itself i got call
from AIMST telling me that i was offered a place to do MBBS. but the big problem is i need to pay rm20K by 3rd july! to rob or not to rob the bank? slowly i settled the problem on 30/6 morning. JUST as i settled it, (ok, this part my mum didnt know, im sorry mummy, im selfish, i had to, i wanna reach my dream, want to make it a reality, so people out there who's reading this, please, try your best not to fish my mum here and make her read this) UTeM called me and told me i was offered my 1st choice for my appeal and im supposed to register the next day itself (1/7). WHAT??? I aint no bullet-train or superjet. so after deciding for hours, pondering, I decided to go for my childhood dream-to take on MBBS. So i started my journey of payment.


-this is the offer i got : computer science, artificial intelligence-


-my offer letter from AIMST-



-form to purchase banker's cheque-


-the banker's cheque-

-used ABX Express to send the cheque, was afraid it wouldnt reach on 3/7, relieved upon checking this tracking system-

so i think all of you have gotten the picture of what il be undertaking for the coming 5 years? yes, many says i cant get through this based on my stpm results, many says that its very tough, no quality life il be leading, alot money but no time to spend and so on and so forth. but rest assured, il do my best and il prove the critics wrong. mark my words. slog i will, give up il not.
so a new chapter for me will be beginning soon, that is :
~THE JOURNEY TO MY DREAM~
~believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do~
this is from one tree hill season 6 finale, ive just finished watching it, could see so many dreams came true in this episode
