College

Currently waiting for mom to pick me up, since I am gonna ditch studying I'm just gonna make this blog alive since I realized I have kinda been neglecting it already. 

After 11 whole years of schooling, finally it has come to this; COLLEGE.
I seriously have never ever thought seeing myself in a learning environment where you can wear your own clothes and bring your phones to school but pure strict school rules, school uniform and annoying teachers.

Now here it is, getting into the brink of what i am meant for.
I'm studying in INTI international college. It's kinda far from home that i have to go through heavy traffic almost every single day, Only 5 of us from CDK went into INTI. 4 of us taking A-Levels and another one taking diploma in Business. Since I wanna major and Economics in University, I took 4 subjects ; Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths(Economics Universities prefer taking in F.Maths students, somehow. )

My first day at college was sort of okay, I don't have to wake up earlier than usual for school anymore :D I have to admit when I passed by PCGHS I felt kind of sad. I miss wearing my school uniform, having a tight ponytail on my hair, and all the unreasonable school rules. :'( call me crazy, but I do miss all of that. my first class : Further maths. Not a really good subject to start off my first day of college you may think, but it was okay, at least there's a slight warm up to prepare for the subject.
I even felt lucky that I ended up in the same class as my former school mates for Chemistry and Physics. Otherwise I will be extremely lost starting off my first day as I don't know most of the people from other schools. (I'm a little bit terrible at making new friends)

There will be breaks in between classes. Sometimes we even get breaks for FOUR HOURS :(
Since I can't drive, I can't get out of the college. 4 painful hours of boredom. Sure, it's a good time to finish your homework do some studying, but i want to go home and take naps one leh.

I also really miss my friends :((( most of them are taking FORM 6 after getting SPM results.
it's my third week here already. good news is I finally made some new friends and got used to the environment already. Long path ahead.

 

2013

It's the new year, wow. Like how everyone says, TIME FLIES.
Unbelievable that how time passes so fast that I have already finished schooling already. 11 freaking years with just a blink of an eye.

School started today. Whereas for me, NO MORE SCHOOL YO! That awesome feeling when everybody has to get up at 6.00 in the morning while you still could sleep your way through the entire morning. That was... kind of what I did today. But my holidays won't last long.
Just only last Saturday I enroll myself to attend college for A-levels in INTI COLLEGE. I heard it is gonna be quite tough cause the exam board is from England. Gotta study hard. Adding that to my new year resolutions.

At the same time, I feel quite nervous though. For 11 years I have familiarizing myself in a normal school environment. 5 years in secondary school I see the same people everyday. Now, COLLEGE. A whole new start. Graduating from secondary school isn't the end after all, it is a whole new beginning of life. Also taking yourself to a whole new level. Graduating from secondary school indeed was sad for most of us. But the bright side is that it teaches us to face change, getting us ready to face the real side of society.

2012 was really really great, I won't deny that regardless of all the crap all the Form 5s had to go through for SPM. Come to think of it, I've done lots of things. I'm getting pretty lazy doing my back-in-time posts, so I'll just brief through events that happened throughout the year.

MAY
First time out with my besties for the year. I think. Went for a movie in Queensbay, if I'm not mistaken I think it was Street Dance 2.

Halfway through our movie, this is what happened, my seat started shaking and it really really pissed me off and thinking the people behind me kicking my seat in front. but then everybody started to get curious turning heads here and there. A few people even evacuated the cinema, eventually we followed as well. It was packed with people out there. THERE WAS A  FRIGGIN TREMOR IN QUEENSBAY! Got out of the mall packed with people outside the mall. All shops were even closed. Even later that day everybody started posting photos of the crowd outside malls on Instagram. To make matters worse, we missed half of our movie :(

 JUNE
 MId-year holidays! Went to Singapore (again). Lol I've been to Singapore three times already this year.
met up with ALL-TIME BESTIE, STEPH!

When the new iPad came into the family

Harry Potter Exhibition in Marina Bay Sands after that. Everything used in the Harry Potter Series was exhibited there. 

The Weasley's Flying car

 

Souvenirs!

Flew to Cambodia on the following day

Highlight of the trip, ANGKOR WAT. Just one picture. I have too many pictures of temples that could make this post endless. Dad said he wanted to go there (He's a Buddhist) before it's too late, as in BEFORE HE DIES. There was a lot of walking, it was HOT, not surprising since it's already hot here in Malaysia.

One day after the trip, went for the CHUNG LING GATHERING. yes I know it's pretty crazy to attend an event like this one day after you travel, well at least it was crazy for me.

Shu Han, Ree Wen, Li Chin, Pei Er and me

Peh Khim

Jean Teen and Kuan Ting

I even contributed something that I've never thought I'll do in my life, Jean Teen and I represented CDK to sing. Usually I sing when I go nuts and hyper in class and just randomly fool around by singing along with my friends, but I never thought I find myself singing as a performance in front of a crowd of strangers. We didn't exactly do so well cause we were pretty nervous and it was our first time doing this, but we had a good experience. :D

*somewhere on mid-June*
Also did a photo shooting session with 5S2 for the school magazine. need not say much, Pictures of us in school uniforms and nerdy faces.

if you noticed, it says 5S2

FAST-FORWARD TO OCTOBER

Thanksgiving, also known as our 谢师宴 at Traders Hotel.

GRADUATION

Come to think of it, regardless of all the crazy teachers and the studying, I really do miss school.

one word for 2012, it was great. There were ups and also downs.
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Heritage Road Trip

As a very very failed Penangite(Born and raised in Penang), I have never been to the most charming parts of town. I get hometown is really really awesome but I've never really gone to witness the awesomeness. Everybody even posted pictures on Instagram with street arts, if I'm not wrong just only recently drawn that attracted young people. Behold, the street artist, Ernest Zacharevic. Until one fine day since everybody has been so free after SPM, made plans with some friends to do something different for a change; Visiting Penang *epic music* xD

Got outta the house really early in the morning, then my mom dropped me to Li Chin's house. From there, that's where the fun starts. Took a bus to Weld Quay to meet up with the others. Zhi Hui brought us around, she is like our personal tour guide, she took us everywhere lol. We'd be super lost of it weren't for her.

Walked to this shop (i forgot where lol) to spare us from getting stressed out and tired for the trip, we rented bicycles! It took me a while to balance myself on a bike. Haven't been riding a bike for quite long, as long as I could recall I fell down while cycling in Stephanie's house, and that was like 7 years ago. 


Now, the highlight of the trip.

Yee Shuang, our model of the day ; MOTD

Li Chin and I

I just realized how awkward I am in the picture. from left to right : Gaik Chi, Gaik Theng, Yee Shuang, me , Ree Wen.

Okay, at least I'm responsible enough to state locations

Street art number 2,

Us!

These two; the netball experts

CHEW JETTY

Yee Shuang, Zhi Hui, Ree Wen

To be honest there really wasn't much at Chew Jetty. It has only houses on sea that sells soveneirs.

Yours Truly :)

 

Yee Shuang again 

Riding on a bike in town can be a bit stressful with cars everywhere and blocking certain cars, also having that fear you might get run over.
It was kinda dangerous. Then we made our way to Esplande. It's a huge piece of field where there aren't a lot of cars in the way. Riding with freedom pride :D

But first, played a while in the playground. 17 year olds being little kids

Attempted on trying out my photography skills.

By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :)
