Broad topic? Definitely.
10.30pm, Adelaide time. (Haven't change the digital time in my laptop yet). Ok just to be precise, I started to write this post at 8pm Malaysia time. Sitting on bed in my parents' room. Dad hasn't back yet.
Ow.. surfed through my dashboard and saw something. Too bad, dashboards always leave tracks behind. Sorry for you. Although the tracks are not in a perfect form but still.. things leak from them. Hahahah WHATEVER... let's get on to the main story.
30 December 2010, a day more before 2010 ends. Time flies? Yup, no doubt about it.
I changed? Yes.
The start of year 2010 was horrible. I could recall all the craps which gave me pain in my neck. Stupid huh? Kind of. The world was small for me. Too small to lose someone. It was all fairy tales and a person with a childish mind was trapped in those dreams.
I dreamed big and poured hopes but what I got was eventually.. None.
Kevin, you sure? Yes I'm very sure about this. The value of gain depends on different perspectives from different people. Ok maybe I earned something which was an important lesson. A lesson which told me to chill and just leave it.
The period which I struggled the most was on January until... I guess.. July.. 2010. Life changed when people left for their further studies or national service. You lost people which you used to have them around you in a sudden. I really can't get used to it. I even asked my parents, why I'm not the one who can leave first but I was left behind to experience all the separations. Haha.
Well, my turn came when I left to Australia on 31st of January and arrived there on the 1st of February. I studied in Adelaide for the past 10 months in Bradford College, University of Adelaide and now.. It was over. I'm at home, recalling and typing a post about my life in 2010. lol again.. time flies. Kay.. back to the topic.
The first day I arrived at Adelaide, my sis was waiting for me in the airport. Yessss... everything was easy with my sis around. She taught my 'survival skills' to stay alive as an international student in a foreign country as she had experienced this before. They're really helpful, kept me cheerful and made 'My Adelaide' livable.
Soon or later, I had to face all the challenges myself in order to 'stay alive'. Life became tough as Physics(I used to like it but not in my college life) was involved.
*I'm using past tenses frequently as I'm already back in Msia*
No more spoon feed..
no more simple notes from teachers like what we used to receive in secondary school..
no more parents to wake you up in the morning to school..
no more free transportation from parents.. (had to use the buses more often)
no more mummy's cooking.
no more close friends around you..
no more big private spaces to move around (home)...
no more 24 hours tropical weather.
no more frequent sms and phone calls (expensive)
and more and more and more of NO MORESS.
Life was tough for me? Yes. Can't get used to it at first.
Anyways, I had... (Don't feel like discussing this). Sorry.
and yeah.. That kept me motivated and I forced my self to fight a way out of it. At first, I was having a goal of studying environmental engineering. I chose this at first basically due to influences and fear of letting parents to know my real dream. Everyone was discussing about engineering and people were saying that 'biological dream' equals to DEAD END. BULLSHIT! lol..
Life got better when I mixed around with new friends. Friends from Malaysia (Of cause), China, Hong Kong, a friend from Thailand and some from Singapore. I felt better as I had people to share and talk about life experience. Gradually, I decided to go for it. A biological career.
A medical scientist? or a general practitioner which is also a... Doctor. Am I out of my mind? SPM 3As, aiming for such careers? You gonna be kidding me Kevin.
Anyways, just watch and see. ';..;'
Generally, the main obstacle which caused me to have up and down was.. .. I mean the really MAIN obstacle... procrastination and other bad habits were of cause common obstacles but this one was really hurting (Previously). Anyways, Whatever.
I did something cray after Semester 1 ended. It was about June~July when I went back home for a 2 weeks holiday. I went Kuala Lumpur, actually.. it was Subang to look for my closest buddies. One of the reason was to visit IMU as I was considering that place for my further studies. However, that was just one of the other reasons which I booked a RM 600+ ticket (Obviously not worth it) to KL... Okay.. whatever.. Fuck it. Forgive my language. I'm just trying to express what really appeared in my mind when I was typing or when I was at that position. I actually wrote stories, basically.. typed them in electronic forms and stored them in my laptop. Interesting experiences but... not realistic.
Kay.. Let's move on to Semester 2. When I received results from the school about Semester 1. I was surprised that I did badly for Maths and Physics. I was like... I'm NOT going to dump my parents money into the sea. By then, I set a goal for Term 3 which I must score everything which number '9' which means.. 90+ for everything. Test, Assignments, Projects, Presentations.. EVERYTHING. Things really worked out and everything went on smoothly until the end of Term 3 when I scored 77 on a Chemistry Test. I was disappointed but also surprised that I made it that far.
Okay.. Well done. Then, when I was in Term 4. I started to communicate less with friends back there. Even.. yeah.. whatever. This was simply due to exam pressure and stress. Plus, I knew that I can't afford to spend extra time on such unnecessary thingy. With a final push, I made it. HD for English. Distinctions for Chemistry and CT. Credits for Physics and Maths. Anyhow, with sufficient overall scores and TER, I received the offer letter from Uni Adelaide regarding Biomedical Science. I was overjoyed because I made it. Lessons learned. I realized that makes a student to fail,pass or to acquire high grades in exams.
1% intelligence, 99% effort.
To gain intelligence, you have to convert it from effort. My theory :)
Dad was happy about my first step of achievement.. not sure about my mum.. Sis got no comment. Anyways.. I don't have to give a damn as long I understand and I'm clear about what I am going to aim and do in my foreseeable future. 3 years of Biomed and 4 years of Biomedical science? Who knows whether I can make it or not. Anyways, I'm sure this is going to be a long journey. What lies ahead, I'll face it.
About the 'thing', I'll just let it be. If we're fated, things would work out. If not, Fuck it lah... It won't be the end.
(This is a blog post where the writer can type/write anything, Don't judge the writer by his/her words). Hahahah
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Kevin changed.
(Finished this post in... 30 minutes. I haven't read/corrected it yet and I'm not going to do so. Sorry for the spelling errors or some grammatical mistakes if they exist).
This is a post which describes the things that I wanna express in this short period.
