update again.

Okay... So I haven't been blogging bout my life lately.

Probably 'cos there's not much to blog about.

But just some detail to clear everything up....

1. I'm not going to Singapore to work anymore

Darn, my master plan was foiled... by potential, unconfirmed (and I stress the "unconfirmed" part) scholarship interviews that, in the event they materialise, will be held here in KL. So after doing the math, weighing the pros and cons and everything, I've decided to stay here. (Recently signing up to astro movie package, and having someone to do my laundry is a big incentive. Movies and TV series trump singapore dollars).

To tai yong, mr.chew, kwang ying n the others whom I promised I'd come back to work, I'm sorry! But I have a feeling I'll be back soon (for uni.)

2. I do other things than watch TV at home.

Contrary to what most people think, I'm very busy at home. I apply for scholarships and there is really an endless list. Yea I've been in the kiasu mood these days. But one thing I realised, is that it's worse regretting something you never did, than regretting something you did. Better to be ambitious and fall flat on my face than not to be ambitious and settle small. (I already made that mistake in uni applications)

I also read quite a bit. (Not newspapers though, I've developed a phobia for them since GP). Finished freakonomics and life expectancy (Dean Koontz) most recently. The second book gave me harlequinophobia. :S

I exercise... to a certain extent. I cycle around my neighbourhood few times a week. Haha. Packed on a few pounds, but I'm still recognizable, I think.

I go out with the few friends I still have here in KL. The usual gang... they're a great bunch, I love them, but I need more girl friends. No cybergaming for me. The girlfriends I have are busy with their respective love lives and studies and stuff. The only girlfriend I have girltalk with is halfway across the globe :( I miss jess.

That aside, I'm not denying that I spend a substantial amount of time in front of the idiot box, as well as finishing season by season of TV series. I'm gonna start on an old movie spree soon.

3. I have a job here starting the 26th of March. Really!

I went for 2 rounds of interviews last tuesday. And I got the job! But seeing my campaign starts late, training only starts next monday (for a whole week by the way). I'll be working in KL, as a telemarketer. They pay decently, and the people there seem nice. I'm hopeful (: Looking forward to earning big commission bucks :D :D :D

4. I passed my driving (re)test.

OK fine I failed my first test, but it really wasn't my fault! Never take the red car when you're doing the slope. Seems like I wasn't the only one doomed to failure by the old red car that's falling apart. But I guess I can't blame it all on the car. Never be nervous too. If the instructor comes up to you and asks you to turn ur engine off when actually you've got it, try negotiating and show him that you really know your stuff. Just a suggestion though. Anyway, save for the agonizing 5 hour wait, the retest went well.

5. I still can't drive yet.

Still haven't gotten my P license. My dad's satria is leaking oil, and my mom will not let me drive the avanza. We don't have money for a new car. (Which is why I wont' be going to Italy for the youth exchange thing anymore) But I will be driving in the near future. I think we're getting a loan. I mean, a car is a necessity.

6. I... don't like.... relatives.

I'm trying to sound mild in the above statement for a few reasons.

a.) Just in case a relative stumbles upon this blog. It sucks, but I recently realised that what they think of us actually matter.

b.) I don't don't like all relatives, I have a few really really good ones actually. But they constitute less than 2% of my extended family.

c.) I realise I myself am I relative to many others. I'm not exactly the nicest member of the extended family. I might also grow up to be an adult obssessed with petty issues. Don't want to be a hypocrite.

Hence I will not disclose details of petty arguments blown out of proportion with lots of unnecessary foul-mouth. Adults can be so petty sometimes.

7. I'm still going to church.

Don't worry people.



I'm doing fine.

if my life were a movie

If my life were a movie....

it wouldn't be an action movie, nor drama, nor thriller......

I think it would be more of an indie (independent) film...

an indie comedy maybe...

one that's funny at the begininning but gets draggy, boring and meaningless in the middle...

the movie hasn't reached its end yet,

but I have a feeling it'll be an inspirational tear jerker,

either that or a tragedy with an upcoming sequel...

a sequel about the life of someone in my life that ended way better.

My life movie wouldn't win any oscars, or golden globes,

but it will be shown at the Sundance film festival,

and it'll be nominated for the Independent Spirit Award...

no wins, but nominations definitely.



If life were a movie....

I would be the supporting actress (but a very good one)

probably the hero's best friend that dies halfway in the movie before she achieved anything remotely close to greatness....

died for a noble cause definitely,

either that or in an accident...

and my abrupt death would change the course of the story....

heh.


That's what I think my life movie would be like right now haha.

what would your life movie be like?

i'm really curious to know hahaha.... do you think you're the leading lady? the hero? or the supporting actor? or just a bystander?
