Of highways and buses
I think I'm going crazy learning all the weird roads and routes in Petaling Jaya. SS21 in Damansara? I thought there's another SS21 in Subang Jaya? What's with the LDP? Where's the way to escape the crazy toll rates that Mr.Samy never seems to get tired of raising? What! Did I take the wrong way? ARGHHHHH! NO! I don't feel like taking a driving license in this crazy city.
So I'll take the public transport like what Mr.Samy himself advised to the public. This one at least was a bit less confusing. What's the difference between bus 636 and 634?Why are the bus rates so high?? In the end, I found the bus I'll probably be taking for the next 5 years on. T82. Huh. This was even worse that Chemistry. Which I'm not taking in A-level, thank goodness. Oh yeah, I've just registered at HELP and found out there's a 3 day orientation, and that there are other Kajang people who just signed in as well. I'm supposed to find that comforting right,exactly the opposite. My mom said I'm crazy and should've joined KDU if I didn't wnat to meet anyone I knew from back home. Sigh...

The process of adaption.
Well, everything's going fine now...I can finally connect online now that the TM net ppl fixed a line in my new house at DU. So, since I can't make friends that easily now since my secondary school life is over, I had to do a couple of things like:
1. Joined the IACT media workshop to meet other people who were forced like me to make insta-friends. I hate the process, I'd rather build relationships on a long-term process, not forced or under pressure like the above mentioned, in order to prevent yourself from feeling awkward.
2. Explored Damansara Uptown, found a Watson's & Guardian shop there! (Yay!, no need to go to OU for shopping)...but only one cybercafe? Sheesh..
3. Went for the Saint Ignatius Church (SIC) youth Christmas party. Again, networking. But at least this one is a bit less stressful because I'll be seeing them for the next few years. Got to know the big people in church, registered myself for the readers audition...and learned from the big guy himself (Mr.Rich, the 50-something youth leader) that the church will be selecting some active youths to participate in a choir that will perform in (GOSH) Sydney, Brisbane..all expense paid by SIC in July 2008. Well, here's a new goal in my life, gotta be an active youth, lol. Hmmm, the youth here highly contrast to the ones back in Holy Family Church Kajang. Just the opposite, they were...inactive. (Haha, sorry HFC members, but PJ youths are known to be very active.)
Well, to summarise..folks here are way different from those in Kajang. Kajang people were laid back, relaxed, and have a devil-may-care attitude. Here, I got a culture shock! They were more perky (I hate this kind of people, sorry) girls and metro boys (this one I don't mind, heehee). Everyone's just so boisterous, gregarious...huh, I miss the days back in school where we could just lie on the high jump mattress in our class, under the cooling wind blown from the floor fan someone brought from home, listening to the radio loaned from the school office.....Sigh, all my dreams lately have been taking place in my hometown. Homesickness? More like adapting. Which might take a very, very looooong time. Oh yeah, I'm going to HELP to study A-levels...my parents don't really care much of scholarships anymore..Haha.

Michelle the shrink?
Yeah, you heard that right. Looks like whatever I'm doing now is channeling me into becoming a psychologist. I didn't want to at first, just like I didn't want to do A-levels before, but my parents constant nagging worked to their favour after all.
One last bit of glory: A-levels is not the fastest and cheapest way to get a degree in P. I'm doing it because (they don't want me to do it) I want to study literature for a long as can before I go into building my career. YES. That's the main reason why. The other one is because I want to extend my education process. Getting a foundation is a no-no for me; it's not education! That's building your career!!
What will my first research project be about? ME!
I'm so confusing myself, I want to learn about me.. Lol..
Speaking of literature: Here's a dedicated part to my SPM exam. I need to get an 1A for it. No exception. Getting straight As is not as important as this! Mainly because my mother got an A for it; she was the only one who did in her year. If I do anything below that grade, she'll have the power to use it against me in our arguments! I don't want that. Please, oh please, I beg the examinars to give-me-an-A1.(If they dropped by, haha. what are the possibilities of that?Well, I'm taking every chance that I got)

Nostalgia
Hell yeah, I have always been over emotional and sentimental about things. I'm moving on the 10th Dec, so I had to start packing my stuff already. My mom doesn't want me to bring any junk to the new house. And I'm one of those people who collects and keeps stuff I don't even need. It's hard to let go. All my 17 years were spent in Kajang. I thought it was fun at first to move , like an adventure after SPM...but I just couldn't stop crying. HECK, I cry about EVERYTHING. During interviews, PMS, in a rage (and I rarely get angry, when I do it's like krakotoa) and arguments. So blame my fragile mind, I'm just a sensitive little girl in the inside.
After I move, I wanted to find a part-time-job to earn money (for vanity reasons) But which place would take me in for >20days? I'm starting college in January (A levels, don't know where yet) so I want to make the whole of my holiday. It just so happens that I found an ad in the papers today about a workshop on journalism, broadcasting and media. Great! Something to help me in the future. (14th and 15th December at DU) And I've been planning to go for all the colleges' open days to determine what I really want in my future. Yeah, yeah. I wanted to be a speech therapist but it seems pretty dull to me now. I'm open to anything...sheesh
