Bits, of late

I received my UTAR offer letter last week.

I drove down to Kampar to check out my accommodation yesterday morning. Its my first experience driving on an 'almost-highway-like' road accompanied by my dad by my side and mom at the backseat. The accommodation is decent (from what we saw) but I still felt a tinge of sadness that I'm gonna leave home soon although its not that far away from home. Just a 40 minute drive back to Ipoh. I guess studying in Form 6 made me a much 'home-lier' person than I thought I was. :/ On the bright side, I hope to have good housemates. Hope they're nice. :)

24th April. Received my overall results for STPM. I should just say here. Its definitely not 4 flat. Its actually way off the perfect score or even a decent average score. I got 1B+, 2Bs and 1C. I guess getting my initial for a grade isn't a good thing at all. Of course I feel the big fat regret. Partially for my half-hearted attempts and mostly because of my lack of focus throughout Form 6. A big portion of it as the latter. It was really my fault for not being able to overcome those shortcomings. Aihs. However, in terms of my experience gained in Form 6, I wouldn't trade that with anything else. :) In fact, if given a chance, I would certainly like to re-live my Form 6 life with a better grasp of what to expect but it's just a thought, reflective but actually insignificant at this point alrd.

Leaving that aside, I went shopping with my mom today.:)) Really shopping. :D Given the freedom to shop, without feeling guilty of keeping others waiting (aka my dad. HAHA), we did so cos dad wasn't wif us. We bought a lot of stuffs, a new iron, kettle, curtains and clothes. I've never tried out so many clothes in my life before. Hehhee. We were even lucky that what was on our shopping list was on sales. Bedsheets and pillows. It was a 1 hour promotional deal and it saved us some cash. :)) Mom must have spent a lot (thankiuu) and she said jokingly that its a pay forward sum which I'll have to deduct from my bank account and repay her back later in the future (when I'm older). Haha. :P

Ohya, lately, I love eating things that 'explodes' in my mouth. YUMSS. Like the cherry tomato on a hot plate, the yellow bun sold at dimsums and peanut butter doraeyaki. How it bursts and the fillings slowly fill my entire 'mouth cavity'. Wkakaka.  But the catch is to eat it and not spill it all over the place. I happened to dirty my shirt while eating doraeyaki today at Jusco food court. Two kids at the next table where their parents went off to buy food got off their seats and came close by to watch as the peanut butter spilled onto my shirt and I tried wiping it off. Aiyoo. I got some 'funny' and curious looks from people who happened to glance at me or look at my tees in particular. The best part was I shopping all over Jusco with that shirt. Haha.

The other day, I bought 3 jeans too. I like the colours. But aahs, why are their pockets made to be fitting in a way that its just too small to fit my wallet, car keys and handphone in it. Or more like, my wallet is too big and bulky maybe. Why can't they design bigger pockets? That's why I actually prefer wearing those loose pants though people always ask me why I wear them? My Muet teacher said aiyoo, crystal, again. En Li tells me that her friends used to ask her why I always wear pyjamas to tuition back then. Aish. Actually cos its comfy and convenient ma though it may look abit sloppy. :P  And I feel safe with the foreknowledge of having my wallet and everything kept tucked in the pockets of my pants.

Other than that, I thought I could kinda 'curi tulang' or be excused from completing my work at my dad's office too. However, dad said I must finish up everything before I leave for uni cos I can't get a job half done and leave it for the next person to finish it. It will be a mess. Noooohhh. Sobsob. But I have to because it makes sense. I'm an unofficial staff. I start work anytime I like, I do work when I want to, I read newspapers during office hours. Wkaka. But I guess in the end, work is work. Omies.

I wish to resolve one thing before I leave uni too.. Time really does tell. When there's no proper advice to take heed and no sure way of dealing with a matter, time is really the best remedy to everything. After yesterday, I think I've done all I can within my parameters.

Also, it was Pei San's birthday that day. Christmasss in April. :D She's a really nice person and friend that I met in Form 6. A major part of my Form 6 memories were with her, so thankiu doink. She'll not read this but gomawo. :)

Days are counting, I should not waste 'em! My holidays I mean. Wonk wonks! :)
