Last week of freedom. And yes, literally I mean it.

It doesn't matter that hols are till the 3rd of January 2010, because..


This is the life. NOT.

And I know it's for my own sake, but mumsie had been asking me to get started on Add Maths, Maths and Accounts since..last week?

Seriously, I know I suck big time in these subs, for they require loads of practice, something which I can never do with my horrible time organisation.

And..I just have no affinity with numbers. I like words better than numbers. Okay, excluding the show Numb3rs, that's a different story.

Normally, students in Malaysia study because they have a goal or goals to work for.

It's either:
(a) Getting excellent grades.
(b) Scholarships in the future.
(c) Attaining the top positions in class.
(d) To become the teacher's pet.
(e) For the sake of studying.
(f) To not disappoint their family members.
(g) To not lose their own 'face' or their parents' 'faces' while competing with family friends/relatives.
(h) *insert 1001 reasons here.*

Okay, so this blogger here is seriously not motivated to do any of that, even I must admit, some of them are obligations that I chose to do since..centuries ago.

But it's never constant motivation, so I'm basically screwed.

Heck, I don't even know what career I want to delve in when I'm done with school life, quoting my previous school counselor, Puan Rafeah,

"You have interests in many working fields, and you don't have a specific inclination to any of them. You are going to have a hard time selecting your future career, but you have higher scores in the Arts and Science columns. Logical thinking would do you well in science-related careers, and your foundation in piano and drawing would help you in art-related fields."

"Whatever you choose to do after your SPM, I wish you all the best."

This was a conversation that had taken place in the counselling room when I was a second former. And yes, I still cannot forget.

But Puan Rafeah is very supportive of me, and I'm thankful for that.

Still..if I don't even have a fixed ambition to strive for, I can't even be bothered to study wholeheartedly.

Mumsie and Dad had been offering me suggestions on what to do or what to be just to help me get motivated. And their suggestions of courses and career options are as of the following:

1. Actuarial Science.
   
2. Interior Designing.
3. Computer Programming.
   
4. Linguist.
5. Forensic Science.
   
6. Marry a rich guy, and just be a tai-tai. (rich wife?)

Okay, 1 is definitely out. I can't even do simple Math, what more Add Math which is a required subject in 1, apparently.

2, I'm not so sure about that. I have on and off interests in this. I mean, I like interior designs and stuff, but I'm not into it 110%.

I think they suggested 3 just because I'm such a computer junkie.

4, possible. But..never mind.

Forensic Science is wickedly awesome. I'm just afraid I might do injustice to those who had passed on by messing up on something. Don't want them to haunt me, for I have no ill intentions. :x

And 6 is just..ridiculous. =.=

My career choices are just unrealistic in this country called Malaysia.

So, any suggestions readers? Other than photography, fashion designing, theater work, joining an orchestra, entering ANTM Cycle 123 and being a full-time blogger? :D

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!
