Econs day

Sat for my Economics essay paper yesterday evening, and it was not that good I must say. I can honestly tell you that I felt this calmness while I was writing my answers down, which was a good thing since I don’t think I’ve had such feeling since I last answered ‘Stars’, my one-word English essay question during SPM. But unfortunately, the rest of the paper was not as bright, so I’d rather not talk about it much. Bna seemed to sense my uneasiness when she saw me got out of the hall. Luckily she managed to help me forget about that and filled my head with happy, cheerful thoughts instead.

All I am thinking about right now is for this week to end. Its’ been a very long time since I enjoyed freedom. I did nothing for the past couple of months but read Economics and write essays all week long. I know efforts won’t guarantee one’s success, but I did all of that just so that I can improve my writing skills, which I can happily say I managed to do yesterday. I need to go back home this weekend to check up on my parents and ask them about how my brother I doing with his preparation to go to Russia this September. I am anxious to know what my dad really thinks about all of this, since I haven’t heard him comment on this matter much. His silence is always so deadly, that’s what I learnt about him.

I am actually keeping track of my days left here in KTJ. I can’t wait to get it done and over with, to go back outside to the world and be free once more. I am desperately in need of some fresh air. Five years in SAS and another two in here is more than enough boarding school experience for me. I am sick of all these rules. Some of them don’t even make sense to me much at times, but since I am stuck here, might as well play it by their rules for a while, hate to start a fight.

All in all, the experiences were indeed very useful. It did helped to make me a different person that the one I was before I came in here. That’s just how life is, always changing scenes, while nothing much we could do but to adapt to our surrounding while keeping our own self-identity intact. I am always on the go, never has it been fated for me to remain in one place for long. Guess that’s part of the journey, huh

I leave the rest to you…….

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h

Leaders?!

As I said yesterday, I had my oral exam earlier today. Please don't even bother asking me how it went. As always, things didn't go as I had planned it to. I mean, of all things, I didn't expect myself to stumble upon plural conjugations as well as the basic command words such as 'what' and 'how'. Lucky for me it went by pretty quickly that it ended before I even realized it. Well at least I got hold of a decent conversation with Luay Hasan, the other Arabic lecturer before my exam started since I got there earlier than expected. The rest of my afternoon was spent on biting away my Subway while watching a new episode of The Apprentice UK followed by another show about the preparation Venice undergo through last year when the Pope came to visit, then just before the sun sets for the day I managed to finish one more documentary about Britain's monarchy, highlighting the era of its Queens. As the night falls, I realized that I had not only wasted my time w

What's in my typical bag to uni?

  Here are the things that I usually carry with me every day to uni: MacBook Air 11" (credits to Lin, a lady in Kelana Jaya who sold her Air to me last summer. This laptop is strictly for work purposes as it's fitted with only 64Gb of flash drive) a couple of cables and a USB adapter- in case my i5 runs out of juice, but that rarely happens USB drive big enough to load my whole work folder- just in case I needed work done in places where WIFI is off limits lots of A4 papers- blank papers work best for me since I mostly work with diagrams and equations. black, blue and red pens, one of each drinking water (I really can't leave the house without one these days) beanie- in case of light rain along the way. gloves (my hands tend to get cold easily) As you can already see, my bag's content is pretty basic. I don't really carry too much with me when I'm working since I found it counter-productive. *This segment is inspired by the 'What's in Yo
