Salvation...

    I have finally seen the light... My acne problem is finally getting better!!!

Frustration and self dissapointment...

     I'm pathetic, just pathetic!  I swear father time will punch me in the face the moment we meet because of the way I let time pass me by so swiftly...

     Just 3 months after leaving college, I'm gaining lots of weight besides getting all sorts of acne building a colony of red pot holes on my face!

     What is happening to me?!

    

Adele...

It's 12. a.m.

The room is quiet, accompanied by some soothing hums from the AC and the silent thuds of my fingers against individual plastic keys on the keyboard.

I enjoy being in a serene environment, preferably in the morning, though early mornings are hard to come by lately. Silence gives me space to think, calmness, and most importantly, an escape from the ever present stress.

However, I'm not in the mood for some peace and quiet tonight.

I'm in audio heaven at the moment. Coming from the ends of two neodymium-wrapped magnets encased by a plastic band( the thing we call ear phones ), are the unmistakable jazzy tunes from my latest obsession, Adele.

 

Her music is my current addiction. Awww, that coarse, jazzy vocals; simple but great guitar skills; accompanied by a swagger singing style and tone... These never fail to put me in utter admiration and awe everytime her songs are played. Her live performances are what jazz musicians around the world would look up to as she can croon hard songs effortlessly. And don't let me get started with her songwriting...

'You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This isn't a routine
With you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me
Yeah'

Those are the words to 'Best For Last', my absolute favorite.  

Other songs include the radio-friendly 'Chasing Pavements' and 'Make You Feel My Love' 

to name a few.

So people, DO CHECK HER OUT!!!

Application... Dissapointment!

Time : 9 p.m.
Venue : Old Town White Coffee, Pelangi Damansara.
Mood : Neutral with a tinge of nervousness.

Woke up at 8 this morning.

Not my usual time... Hated it! Thanks for your calls cocks!( Chickens )

Oh, did I mentioned that I stayed over at grandma's place yesterday? Yeah, I was in Seremban this morning. The main agenda was both IMU and IELTS registration, so we left Seremban for PJ at around 9.30 a.m.

Something about the weather and the traffic kinda dampened my mood. It was cloudy( rare!) and the roads were somewhat clear...

Putting those aside, we arrived at my cousin's apartment at 11. We had brunch together at Kayu Nasi Kandar and then off we went to Bukit Jalil. The journey was longer than expected, even with the least possible amount of traffic in KL... maybe it was just me... I was nervous!

IMU is not as bad as I thought it would be... The place is pleasant, though it's so far away from anywhere i know... We met a counselor at student services... She was nice... After some ( in my opinion ) unnecessary briefing about the course, I applied online using one of the computers available there....Considering the fact that we came all the way to submit my hard copies, the online application policy still puzzles me... Why can't I apply through a handwritten form since I'm there?

Anyway, after the declaration, I was informed that I'll get my offer letter within 2 weeks if my application's successful...( The evil word 'if' just doesn't fail to choke my nerves all the time! )

Okay! IMU's done, it's IELTS now... I brought photographs of me in glasses. However, in Wisma Dredging, where the British Council is glamorously situated, I was told that 2 photographs of me without my glasses on are required!( It's clearly stated in the form that glasses are fine as long as there are no glare seen blocking the candidate's eyes. ) Therefore, with some irritation, I confronted the guy at the counter... Just as I was about to speak, he told me boldly that it( the no glasses policy ) is newly implemented by the council and that he cannot do anything about it... WHAT SHIT IS THIS?!

The IELTS application had to wait as new photographs are required...

I AM DISAPPOINTED!!! How could they implement a rule without stating anything on the application forms? How could they leave candidates with sight limitations behind? This is some major bullshit!!!

I'm done.

Niche...

Strange thing, time. It weighs most significant on those who have it least. Nothing is lighter than being young with the world on your shoulders; it gives you the feeling of possibility so seductive, you know there must be something more important you could be doing than studying for exams.

That summed up my thoughts during the days in college. Ample time is not a privilege for students like us, especially the ones as playful and lazy as I am. As exam pressure slowly builds up, everyday seemed so bland! The law of attraction ( as I've learned from The Secret ) tells us to think of what we want, positivity is vital, and the slight bit of negativity in mind will result in the most undesired circumstances. As ridiculous as it may sound, I have put in effort into deep, positive thoughts; I've woke up in the morning with nothing but positive thinking in mind and a fresh spirit so ready to conquer the day ahead by storm. However, with the limitless stress and educational concerns constantly battering our somewhat powerless young minds, positive thinking has turned out to be something only reachable within the heads of strong spiritual gurus, and not severely f*&ked up college brats! It would be a gross understatement to say that we plough through the days without the tiniest bit of desirable mood level.

Why is it that us, as students, have to bear with this? Since the beginning of this new millennium, the niche of gaining formal education has been painfully tattooed across our minds. Can we handle the future without education? Can we gain trust and recognition from other aspects than just studies?

Yes! Why not?! But, it will not be easy... Formal education is the simplest alternative to leading the harsh future!

I might have hated the exam days and the endless sitting-in-the-library-and-study-days, but I just realized that it was all worth the while.

Why the post? I got bored:p So till next time! Chow...
