Dreams and Reality

by wenn on Saturday, December 31, 2011

All those time
The memories
They're like grains of sand
As soon as the winds of time start to blow
They'll be nothing more but a wisp of cloud
That I once and will always treasured ever so dearly.

So, the last day of the year.
Time for confessions and retrospection
And most importantly, planning.

I admit I've chosen a hard road.
I still don't know if this is really what I want
I doubt myself all the time
Having second thoughts and reassured by something
Although I do still hope that someone would be able to talk me out of it.

I'm walking the talk now.
My ever so perfect plan A.
Which at some point is kinda over-idealistic
Getting into Taylor's.
Then get accepted into Oxford Med with perfect score
All tuition fees paid by scholarships.
And "Poof" everything becomes nothing more than a dream

Being realistic,
Looking at my results
There's no way I'll get to study in the United Kingdom
Least way getting full scholarships
And more least way into the overly expensive Oxford
And most impossibly into the highly competitive Med
So, overall
Plan A is a fantasy. Nothing more.

But since It's still far away
I'll let myself dream for a longer time.

I only have one life and one chance.
I want to make the best out of what I have.

timeless

by wenn on Saturday, December 17, 2011

I never thought this trip could be so memorable.
Although it wasn't anything exciting
It gave me an indescribable feeling
Since I'm not very familiar with many of them
I never thought this trip could be so much fun.

They were the best four days and three nights in my life
We talk, we laugh, we make fun...
Slept at the kitchen and the living room.
Shivering but enjoying the cool breeze
Fighting for food, blanket and bathroom
Chatting abnormally...
Surprise realisation of how gentlemen the boys truly were.

All these have become an eternal marking in my heart, my mind and my life.
Sometime in the future,
I'm sure the memories could still warm my soul even in the cold and harsh winter.
I loved how we gather together in the kitchen and living room
Sharing our pasts and futures
Giving comments
Making fun
Commercial time while buffering..
Everything seemed so normal yet so unique and precious
I've never had this kind of feeling before.
Truly irreplaceable

短短的四天,无限的回忆
冰冷的被窝,暖暖的心房
走过的沙滩,错过的夕阳
客厅之哆嗦,厨房之狼狈
风趣之形容,篡改之名句
仰望着未来,牵挂着过去
十七年岁月,有此四日, 足矣!

I know I shouldn't be having any second thoughts.
What if I couldn't cope?
I can't imagine reverting back to the quiet me.
I couldn't live that life again.
Suddenly, plan A doesn't seem so perfect.

There are no words for this.

I've forgotten how long I've been typing and erasing.
So much to say, so much to remember.
These are the memories I never want to forget.

The first two years were a blur.
But I remember clearly, my English teacher during the second year.
Because of her, I have a firm grip on grammar.

Probably because of having an irrational mind, maths and  physics have always been my weak subjects.
For which is fatal in Chong Hwa.
That was a lesson I learned the hard way during my fourth year.
Speaking of the fourth year, It wasn't as honeymoon as the others said.
Rather, It was quite the opposite and most of the time, sleep-deprived.
But thanks to both my calculus teachers this year, I have gotten to know how great it feels to ace calculus.

The third year was the best year and will probably stay the best forever.
Everything turned out as I wanted them to be.
Well, luck never stay with one person for long.
I'm still trying to retrieve what was stolen.

五年了
发生的事实在太多太多了
但一切的笑容与眼泪都成了过去
一下子就化为过眼云烟
却为我的中学生涯画下了最完美的句号

看来阿
英文在怎么好也及不上母语好
Isn't it too late to realise that now?

It hurts much more than I thought It would.

Plan A. Shattered.
It's holiday tomorrow. Luckily.

Plan B means Senior three.
Seems like ChongHwa doesn't want to release me yet.
But..

Alright.
That's back to the drawing board for me.

capricious.

by wenn on Monday, October 10, 2011

It's really annoying how adult could be so predictably unpredictable.
Or was it just me?

Yesterday was the open day of my about-to-be Alma Mater
It's been a great pleasure aside from being inhumanly exhausting.
Anyway, most of the parent had already planned their child's future
Which college to go, what course to take, etcetera...
And they're just in primary school!

In contrast,
I'm about to sort-of-graduate.
And I'm still not really sure about the way ahead.
Oh, sure. Someone might say it's great to be in control of one's own future.
Problem is. It's way out of my safety limit.
Well, I just don't like being lost.
Like I used to be. Last year.

Well, the mist is starting to clear up. I guess?
More or less. It's already planned out.
So, sorry mom.
There's definitely no way I'm taking economics.
Even if it means getting to study in the UK.
Fingers crossed.

collapsed.

by wenn on Monday, October 3, 2011

I was never a believer in fate.
Until now.

I don't know what's the definition of hard work
But I know I've given my everything for this trial.
And yet?

Fate has a weird sense of humour.
It's been playing me around for so long.
I can't help but think I'm predestined to never get my way.
I'm tired of fighting the losing battle.

But still I don't have the guts to let go.

Deja vu.

You seemed like an interesting person.

So, trial ended.
Conclusion, there goes my 18k
The more I studied, the more I felt them slipping through my hand.
I don't even know if I can get 1k.

During 25 Sept, I was still torn between going and not going to the interview.
So, I make a daring choice.
I'm glad I did.
After the briefing, from which I know I'm the first of Group B, we were led to a series of corridor, the others were assigned to their specific interview rooms in threes. But I was the only one called to mine. When I opened the door which I hoped was somehow locked but wasn't, A blonde guy was sitting at the other end of the room. My interviewer, Easton Hanna. Canadian.
Great. Just great.

Some fun stuff.
Him: Why is there so much exams in Malaysia? (Not a question)

Me: No offence. But I don't really like America.
Him: It's okay. I'm not American. Me neither.

During the whole interview, I was speaking broken English, with pauses here and there. Come to think of it now, there's also quite a lot of funny/weird answers which I definitely would not use in my writing. Totally embarrassing! This might actually cost me the scholarship. Can I reverse the time? Speaking of time, It was so surprising that the session lasted for an hour. Have I really spoken that much? Hmm...

Well, although I did badly and probably didn't stand a chance against all those SMK students. I'm still hoping. Anyway, this was my first interview and I'm really glad I went. Every fragment of details was still fresh in my mind. Well, that just proved how embarrassing it was.
And the title. It was a statement he kept repeating. Yea, I know he's just pep-talking me.
Oh, and he kept telling me to sell myself.

I've been waiting for a week to blog about this. It's just plain exciting to be recalling it now. Even more breathtaking than finishing trial.
If only I could speak like I write. Sigh.
I do really need to speak more English. Seriously.

Reminiscence.

by wenn on Saturday, September 10, 2011

1 week. 7 days. 168 hours. 10080 minutes. 604800 seconds
I'm still nowhere near ready to sit for the trial.
I really don't want to screw this up.

600 others are facing the same situation
But It still feels like I'm alone
Competing with those whom I hold dear
Do I even have the means?

I'm really afraid
It's as if my fear is eating my very essence
Leaving me hollow on the inside.
Like a robot, doing only what it's programmed to do.

All these late night studying
As the title suggests
Pieces of memory resurfaced.
Somehow, they don't look the same any more.

Everyone
At some point
Will be forced to make decisions
Decisions they would regret for a long long time
Even if time could be reversed
The same decision will still be made under different circumstances
At least I knew you tried.

Can anyone grant me a wish?
Make sejarah disappear please..
I can't believe I actually
Didn't go to the bookfair for it. -__-
看我怎样宰死你!

Conclusion
1. I need extra doses of norepinephrine & dopamine. -.-
2. Sejarah caused indigestion

Dear memories,
You do know how much I love you right?
Please love me back.
And stay right where you are.
You can go anywhere after December.

I guess my limited vocabulary isn't enough
Just to start describing how I feel.
Maybe there aren't any words
Five years. Three years.
Both are my most precious treasure.
How can I ever leave them?
It just keeps getting harder and harder.
But still, I'm a lucky girl after all.

You said when I'm your age
I'll understand
I am now. I still don't.

Unspoken fear.

by wenn on Thursday, August 18, 2011

A month to go!
And I still haven't started yet...

When one door closes, another opens for us. But we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

I'm scared.
Thinking of all the what-ifs that could throw me off my track.
What if I wasn't supposed to be on that track?
I don't wanna be seventeen

No matter how intense the hatred is.
3 years of memories
How could I ever forget?
今天的齐奏赛,是在暗示着我什么吗?

It's easy, saying I want to leave.
But now, as the year's coming to an end
I realised that I don't really want to leave
Distance doesn't affect?
Just over a few months and I've already noticed the growing gap
You're all my precious treasures
I don't want to lose any of you.

I really do need someone to convince me to give up
Or better, someone that could give me a million
There's too much to think about.
Too many paths to consider
I'm not even seventeen yet.
Why can't I just leave it to the adults?

August is coming. Again.
Growing up has its excitement and surprises
But every once in a while
I would wish I'm still that naive little kid
Reading my own little fairy tale

Okay.
I know what I want and how to get it.
But the means..
I'll have a lifetime worth of debt.

Two choices..
  1. 1. Go for A-level and use it as a stepping stone.
  2. 1/2 years + lots of $ + better chance
  3. 2. Go for Senior 3 and apply for UCAS using SPM.
  4. 3/4 years + less $

Choice no.2 does seem more attracting, doesn't it?
But I know for certain that I can't handle maths & physics.
As for No.1
Do I even stand a chance for JPA? Or the National Scholarship?
Could I even score In SPM? 

Just unify all the curriculum already.

Two years back, when I've started to research on it
The entry requirements, tuition fees, countries...
I was convinced to gave up then.
She reignited that dream.
But then, I've always gotten everything I wanted before.
It's just a matter of time

Hmm..
I'm being really unproductive
Ever since the midyear holiday

76 days til trial
132 days til the real thing
Yikes!

8/7
All those talks about scholarships scare me.
I really really don't wanna leave.
But I don't have much choice.
Do I ?

It seems so long ago
when I had the time to be engrossed in a novel
to get lost in the virtual world
So very missed the feeling.
The reality is just too complex

It seemed that I still very much like to be left alone

I'm not ready for SPM yet.
Too many things
Too little time

Wow
A full-scheduled holiday.
Loved being busy though.
Still have a dozen homework piling up
Bah, I wanna be lazy
Just for now
I'll so regret this.

Shh...
I wanna date ShingYing again.

29/5
Something's happening.. more precisely happened
17 months ago
Severely disrupted my inclination to enjoy the long-awaited holiday
Why should I be blamed for a now-regretted choice which I then objected?
Once is enough.

太得空了,打下华语

雪莹讲我不会把握机会
也许吧
我太注重别人的看法了
太容易被人影响
但焉知非福?

I think I should revert back to English
My PinYin's really messy
So, today.
I've invented Calculish/Englus? 

Oh, while mom was fetching me home
we had an interesting conversation
Something about hating the M people
Then she says not to judge so fast
Silence~~
She added "you'll hate them more after getting to know them."
Huh!

And a really really surprising news
The everyone-wants-to-get-into-no-matter-what,
one-of-the-world's-top-20-renowned-university,
one-of-the-best-health-science-institution-in-the-world
Johns Hopkins University's setting up a med school in Serdang
Yes, the Serdang in Malaysia
Oh, did I mention it was in the top 20? 
Globally?
You'll be seeing unicorns flying in the air later.

This leads to the talk about the future.
Which then leads to SPM
Which then leads to how much I wanna die just thinking about the trials..
Which then leads to me questioning myself
Which then leads to me asking why money has to exist
Which then mom go through all those explaining again, which I won't know even it's already the nth times I've heard of it.
Which then leads to scholarships, specifically JPA after the previous all-8A+-student-will-get-one thingy. Duh.
Which then leads to a virtual(?) thinking that if I didn't get straight A+ in SPM, I'll lose everything.
讲来讲去,还是钱在作祟

回想起初三,那么的单纯
事情也相对的简单许多
那时,死党就单纯的说说笑笑
高一,心里藏了无法说明的秘密
无意间地,与人群疏远了
想法,复杂化了吗?
才一年的时间,怎么世界就旋转了360度?
高二,去与留如何决定?
Bagai kapal kehilangan nahkoda

Bear with me
I'm bored.

My last Midterm
Hohoho
Is finally over.
My sense of accomplishment is really high right now.
I'm just so happy that I can get back the feeling. Safe
Knowing what the questions want
Knowing how to complete the paper
Last year was a total nightmare.
My effort paid off.
Ha!
The results... I hope will be good.

Well, I'm gonna rest for this period
Then, it's trial-fighting time.
I'll get my 18k.
Feels good too, to have an aim.

Everybody around me seemed to be important
To someone, to something.
I'm still just the tiny little me.
Did anyone notice my existence at all?

I can't breathe
I can't feel the earth.
Which is up?

It's been a while since I last stayed up after midnight
Solely to enjoy the silence of it
To regret the happened-s and the didn't-s.

I need someone to talk to
Without having to say a word.
I want time to stop 
At this exact moment.

Feels awesome to get drenched 
Once in a long while.

I'm still not working hard enough.
Me, being here proves it.

It's a long way up.
Might as well just go down.

Eww..
I've lost my touch in essays.

I'm almost certain about the way ahead
Then comes the financial factor
Why do I always have to choose the most expensive?

Well, everyone tells me to just focus on SPM first
As I see it, there won't be enough time
January intakes starts November
And they reserve more scholarships for January students.
Or maybe I should 'migrate' in September?

Oh, SPM gonna be release tomorrow
This time next year
I want to be the one laughing so hard, that everyone thinks I'm a total psycho.
Not the one crying in a corner.

Another performance.
2nd April 2011
I don't want it to be my last.
But I have to let go.
Well, they might be better off without me.
Right then.

I don't know what I want.
I can't even make a simple choice
All those concerns, fear
How pathetic

Take care, Japan.

Yet another..
I've had my fair share of happy and bad ending.
What's it gonna be this time?

Easy enough
I'll have to either overestimate myself or be selfish.
But either way,
I'm gonna end up regretting not choosing the other one.

Would it still arrive at the riverbank?

Oh, well..
It's the Lunar New Year.
But it doesn't seem so here.
Just a few lite decorations every here and there.
Even Chinatown seemed deserted.
Since when Sg became so Westernised? o.O

So, Reunion dinner at Marina Bay Sands..
Just another overly-luxurious shopping complex
They have a whole Orchard of those
By the way, saw lots of Apples..
And Amazon Kindle.. >.<
Basically, It was shopping shopping and more shopping..
Other than a day at Sentosa.

Enough complaining.. =P
I'm totally in love with their MRT
Oh, oh, and Il Gelato di Bruno
After that cup of $6 Cioccolato Fondente
I'm never gonna be satisfied by normal ice cream. =D
Too bad they're not in M'sia. YET.
Hmm.. I didn't/haven't/won't see any Malay word here.
My kind of place. =)
Clarke Quay. 
Basically a street full of bars
Oh, the best thing about Orchard Rd.
Kinokuniya and Borders, all in one street.
That reminds me,
Their national library is way awesome than ours.-.-

I wanna go NUS and NTU badly.
Too bad dad had to work. 
And mom wants to shop.
So, until the next time.

/* Congrats on the official admission. All the best. */

So, it was Eng period, I was busy doing exercises for the coming Physics test.
I did pause at intervals to listen
But then, I look around..
So much unfamiliar faces
I can't even find a person to really talk to
It's just so saddening
I guess that's the only reason I regret failing last year.

I kept feeling that I'm behind schedule
But then I'm actually ahead.
Is this a warning that SPM is nearer than It seems?
I'm not in study mode yet.

Oh, my couplets actually made the best five.=D
Just saying..

It's the third week already.
School still okay, I guess
Didn't I say that this time last year? >.<

Eng? Or should I say Customer Relationship Management class? Kindergarten style. -.-
Bio.. Felt like a SMK teacher, if you know what I mean.
Comp.. luckily it's not included in SPM..
Conclusion of a 3 week observation
NO sign of changing yet.. 

Off to limit.
Bonne Nuit.

First week of school..

Hibernated too long during the holiday
Got tired very easily recently.
Good thing being in an unfamiliar class
I can concentrate again. 
Study study study...

Self-learning for English. Again.
Did someone curse me?

I'm starting to worry about Dec already.. 
I'm going to have a nervous breakdown 
Sometime around May or June..
