The Catch-Up

I know it has been pretty sad. I have almost completely ignored my blog... AGAIN. Well, it wouldn't be called neglected, the word is avoided. My whole life just took a whole big roller coaster since the last post. I'm not really sure if I want to elaborate. It's just too heavy but nevertheless a bit of a "catch-up" would not hurt:

1. I got my STPM with a rather fair but not the results that I expected. I was devastated by it and yes, all that regret came crashing down but thanks to God, he answered my prayers of coming to peace with my results. (which leads to the next point)

2. I could't help but grasp my hands on a copy of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love, even after enjoying the movie and I have only one thing to say; it was life changing. I finally learned the art of balancing contentment and devotion.

3. After countless confused decisions, headaches, tears and retaliation, I have convinced my parents and myself included that I want to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Biotechnology. Hoping to enter Monash University in Sunway as I met the minimum requirements with my STPM results (phew!) but I need to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and get that required band to take the next step. The best part is, the exam is next week!

4. My choice of music has morphed. I can't stand mainstream anymore except a few selects. But now I'm just hooked to Adele's Rolling in the Deep.

5. I am now a substitute teacher in the Seremban Methodist (ACS) Secondary School. I was teaching English and Moral Studies to Form 1 and Form 2 students in the afternoon session previously (which was nightmare considering the fact that on my first day, my Form 1 student asked me what my beer preference and teaching English is super difficult) but now I teach Geography to Form 1, Form 2 and Form 3 students (getting up and going to work in the morning is such a bliss).

6. The Royal Wedding which happened two days ago was a real life fairy tale and somehow that whole wedding somehow marked the end of my childhood and the start of adulthood. It was beautiful and I wish one day I could have a fairytale of my own.

So that's all of that in a nut-shell. I've got lots going on but well, today marks also my very first 'Labour's' Day so to those of us who work our a**es of for that cash we all need, Happy Labour's Day and commemorate it, I got myself a pair of clip-on's for my spectacles. Can't wait to rock it tomorrow. Well, I got to go, clothes to fold and so little time. We'll hang out some other time.
