"To decide on matters,

And yes, I'm am still undecided about what course I'm going to take up after this.

I had been told that if I make my interests or hobbies my career in the future, I'll come to hate them because of the pressure of the job, the workload and such.

I won't deny such a possibility, as discouraging as it may sound.

And I know my mumsie is very skeptical about my career choices. I admit, I agree with the things she said about them. The industry is tough, it's not easy to get a stable income, it's not even easy to land a good position, the likes.

Also, there's this particular belief in Asian countries about how we kids should be taking up careers that are sure to give us, our parents and our families a comfortable life. Being a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer is sure to get the nod of approval for most Asians, especially those who are die-hard traditionalists. This is slowly dying down, but unfortunately, this barrier still exists.

There's also the thing about how careers in the creative field are unrealistic. In the end, it's all about how much you'll earn in the future, and about being the boss of your own firm/company.

I hate all of these issues so damn much. You have no idea how much I really abhor these problems.

Thankfully, my parents are not forcing me to be a doctor/lawyer/engineer. These three options, are definitely a no-no for me. I blame the ever increasing number of people taking on these careers. And to be honest, I have no interest in them. Nil. Zilch. Nada.

According to my dad, I am free to choose whatever course I want in the future.

My mum also sings the same tune, but seriously, it's only 10% of the time when this is brought up during talks and discussions about my future. She'll disagree with this, discourage me from doing that..

I know it's for my own good, but..sigh. I don't know.

My parents are quite determined for me to study A-Levels at Sunway College JB next year. I'm taking the latest intake possible, probably June or July. At least my parents are giving me ample time to rot and experience life as a high school graduate.

So I guess that's one year plus to really decide on my career path.

Meanwhile, I'll just daydream about me working in the creative line and attempt to actually do well for SPM 2010.

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
