Hey ya! This is random, no? A couple of you probably know that I'll be starting a blog, about, well, myself. Some of you probably also remember that I used to have one, until I deleted it in, what? Form 2, was it? But what I'm sure all of you think is that this is random. If you don't think so, then you should because I won't blame you since I totally think so too. Everything about this blog is random, I would say. From the really
lame URL to the blog title (which some of you know is also my Tumblr blog title). I kept trying to think of a really suitable "blog theme" for everything to go together but I can't think of anything (a tagline or a word) that sums up who I am. I feel like everything's pretty messy around here. Maybe I'm pretty messed up too? Ah, well, I guess we'll just have to accept it as it is. I've ran out of the little creativity I've had a few weeks ago...
Just a little F.Y.I, I decided to start this thing for the benefit of my favourite stalker (you, yes, you), my no. 1 fan (who has been sending stuff to my inbox on Tumblr) and of course, anyone who actually want to know about what has been going on and what is going to happen. They are amazing people and since no one else cares about my life,I should appreciate those who does. Hahahahaha. If you're here anyway, I'm guessing you're probably bored or hates me and just wants to read my posts just so you have new things to talk about with your minions and roll your eyes at me. If I'm wrong, then you should totally send me an e-mail. Hahahaha. Oh! I forgot! If you're family, well, how's grandma? She good?
My URL, "the other url was taken", haha, here's a funny story: there was
no other URL. Like, seriously, NONE. It's just something that randomly popped into my head when I was trying to rack some ideas for my URL and it sort of stuck. So, yeah, with that explained, I don't think any of you will go asking me what the other URL was.
For those of you who didn't know that I used to run a personal blog like this and then have it deleted in form 2, well, then, now you know. I deleted the thing for a few reasons;
First, there was nothing interesting to post. My life as a typical secondary school girl. Homework, busy weekends, school. Big deal. No one cares.
Second, even if there was something that was blog-worthy, i was too lazy to write it up. Hah! Big surprise there!
Third, a couple of my friends (maybe it's you, if you're reading this and if you even remember it, but either way, I know who you are,
BOTH of you) kept bugging me to update it. After a while, I got really annoyed with their constant complaints about my constant absense from the blog. So, I deleted it to shut them up by shutting it down. And it worked like a charm.
So,
hopefully, this time, there will be interesting things to post about, since I'm heading to college. Everything will be brand new for me. A fresh new beginning. Also, hopefully, this time, I can get my lazy ass to keep you all updated. In order to do that, I vow to post things as soon as I can after they happen, whats with the internet access nearly everywhere, anywhere in the city(ies). Things are also easier with my one-year-old baby (my iPod) and my 3 days old HD camcorder! :)
Okay, time to show off a little. Heh. My father (whom I hope very much will never stumble onto this blog) rewarded me with a mighty sweet camcorder for my effort in SPM. The Sony Bloggie HD Camcorder. It looks like this:
In this exact colour. Blue. It takes still photos and HD videos. Just as the name suggests, it's designed for bloggers. So, why what better way to put it to good use than to start a blog, no? :D
I'm not sure if you'll see more pictures of me though, since I don't really like to take pictures of myself...
Anyway, here's just a little catching up for all of you. If you already know about this (Judy, Sheryl), then bear with me. Or just close the window/tab, nothing interesting anymore :)
College! After months of school hunting, doubts and change of hearts, I've finally decided on what to do with my life. FILMS. I want to make films. Sounds cliche, right? Small town girl, move to the big city, with big dreams and full of hope. And with a dream like this too. Just like in the movies. While most people, my parents (unlike most parents), my brothers, friends, all supported me. Some friends probably smirk behind my back but some I'm already certain I will send them invites to the premiere of my first major motion picture (yay). In movies, however, we all know how it ends. Got really lucky with some execs from some big company who see talent in her, offer her a great position or make her a star and even managed to snagged the really cute boy whom she had first despised. Oh and the movie MUST end with a kiss. Ah, the ultimate typical chick flick. I don't know about my story though. To be completely honest, I'm scared to take a risk this big. My mum and dad let me do it because they want me to be happy and also that, they tell me, it's my decision, I will be the one who will have to live with it whether it turn out well or not. If it doesn't, then it's my problem, not theirs. I, for one, have enough sense in me to have a few back up plans ready.
Back to my college stuff, I initially registered at LimKokWing University. The
huge Cyberjaya campus is only a few minutes drive from my house. I decided to register because it was the best place to do a film making course locally. And also, I registered at one of the education fairs that I visited and they were giving away a semester abroad ticket to those who register on those two days. I literally have a ticket to
London right now. In my room. With no expiry date, between 2013 to 2014. but of course, In order for it to be valid, I have to be a LimKokWing student.
Then, we (as in, my parents and I) heard that LimKokWing had earned themselves an unpleasant reputation in the business. So, we thought that it will be safe if I were to do A-levels first, since it's recognised elsewhere (and that my second choice after Films was LAW, one of the best first step towards that was A-levels) and then only decide if I should go to LimKokWing after I've finished my A-levels. Sounds reasonable, right? I thought so too. Until we went school hunting and visited Help University. The guy there told me that since I wanted to do films, why not do it in AMERICA? Thus, introducing their American Degree Transfer Program (ADP). And so, we thought, "Hey! Why not?!". Comparing prices, it's even more worth it to study in America than to do it at LimKokWing (I shall not go into details in the mechanics and mathematics of this, heh).
So, we started researching on ADP at other universities; Taylors, Inti, Nilai, Help. And again, comparing prices, systems in each schools, subjects offered, visits to each universities, we thought that Nilai University College (Nilai UC) was best.. I've already registered myself at the school.
Here's how the American Degree Transfer Program (ADP) works:
With a total of 4 years altogether, 2 years will be spent in Malaysia (the americans call it the freshman year and the sophomore year), learning a little bit of
everything, because the Americans like their students to be all rounders. But we can choose anything in our fields, of course. Like mine is Liberal Arts. There're science and business streams. I have yet to choose my subjects. The next 2 years, as you can guess, will be spent in America, the junior year and the senior year. The third year is when you choose your major, minor and university in the states. By the end of the program, you'll have a degree. So, basically, I'm not going to be doing any pre-uiversity and jump straight into my degree since in this program, the first two years are technically my "pre-U" already.... I think...? So, anyway, that's how it works. :)
Are you still with me? You are? Good.
As for the highly anticipated event that is
NATIONAL SERVICE or as i call it, JUVE (for juvenile), it has been postponed, until I finish my 2 years in Malaysia (that is, after my "sophomore" year), right before I go over to the states (that is IF everything goes smoothly). Which will be in 2014. Now THAT is also another LONG story, which I will not go into.
On my long break, from after SPM December to this month May, I've been rotting away at home. Tumblring, tweeting, baking, watch a bunch of TV shows and movies, driving. Since all my friends are in Kuching, it's been pretty lonely for me. Oh, the gossip and girl talk. At least I'll stop rotting soon. I will be going to school on Saturday (tomorrow) for registration and hopefully get to choose my subjects and get my schedule.
Orientation starts on Monday may 28, classes starts on Monday June 4. The orientation will be going on for a full week. Gah. I should probably start rescheduling my biological clock to sleep and wake up earlier. As usual, this is easier said than done.
Aaaaaaaaaannnnndddd that's all for now. :) Yay, you survived my first
whiny post! *applause*
P/S: I wanted to use the "Lights! Camera! Action!" graphic above as the sidebar picture but Blogger picture widget doesn't support gif. URGH. So, I thought I'll use it as my sidebar gif for my Tumblr instead. Once I've found a nice theme for it...
P/P/S: Some parts of my blog are still under maintenance, like the watch or die movies list... I'm still working on some of the poster remakes. THAT supports gif, so yay. Hopefully Photoshop will work with me...
