The Road Less Traveled...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

The first time I studied 'The Road Less Traveled' by Robert Frost, I understood it and I loved it. Now, I truly understand it from my heart. I'm in a dilemma because I don't know what to choose. Yes, I know, I should have planned earlier but since young, I had been dreaming of becoming a doctor. But now, I know I can't because I do not have the skill to do so. Now I have 2 choices, accounting or pharmacy. Just like the poet, I kept thinking of the advantages of these 2 choices and both have good prospects. Taking Pharmacy, which I am rather interested in, will mean extra burden to my parents unless I got JPA scholarship but all of us know that it's not easy to get one. If accounting, which I also quite interested in, then I'll get to finish my study in 3 years time and work after that. I really don't know which course I should take.

After TM, Petronas and matrikulasi rejected my offer, my parents started to worry and enquire about colleges. They thought I'll definitely get a scholarship that's why they'd never thought of college. I thought I would have to go to form 6 if I don't get any offer that's why I'd never mentioned about college even though it did cross my mind before. Now, I have to make up my mind fast since I have to sign up as soon as possible.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

Ya, I do wish that I can take both at the same time but it's impossible. There's no turning back and I do not wish to have any regrets.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Whichever choice I make, I'll be like the poet. It's hard but hey, what is life without having to make any choice?

The choice that will make all the difference in my life, what will it be?

Yipee!!!

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!
I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!
I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!

*Taking a deep breathe*

Aiyah, sorry for being so annoying... But I'm really excited!!! I'm sure Chia Siong and Choon Min had heard me complaining so much about driving since I was really bad at it. I even hit the divider once and annoyed my instructor. Once I cried in front of my instructor because I couldn't stand the disappointment. I tried so hard and finally all my efforts have proved worthwhile. Phew...

It was so tiring yesterday. I waited for more than 5 hours for my turn. I did bring 2 books along with me but I was too nervous to read. Finally, my turn came a few minutes after 5.00 pm. So happy that I couldn't stop smiling. My instructor recalled to those around on how I looked extremely pale everytime I practiced. Luckily I got over it and managed to improve my driving.

My mum told me that my dad assumed that I'd failed miserably when they didn't receive my sms even though it was already 5.00 pm. =.=" Even my day wasn't confident of my driving. Not to mention that he'd never seen me driving before. Aiyah... Slept for 12 hours since I was too tired.

I'm waiting for my license. After getting it, my dad will definitily force me to drive. Ermm... Just a word of caution: I'm still not that extremely good at driving so if you ever see me on the road, do avoid me. It's for your own good and mine too. You and I don't want to get involve in any accident, right???

The wait is over but...

Since getting my hands on Cecelia Ahern's books last year, I had been waiting anxiously for her next. Went to mph website yesterday night and I was so excited to find that her new book is finally out!!!


Thanks for the Memories

I read the synopsis and I really find it interesting. The cover looks nice too. She is one of my favourite author too. If there's mph bookstore in this lovely small town, I would definitely dashed out of the house and run all the way to the bookstore (no license yet =.='). I want! I want!! I want!!! (Practising puppy eyes so that I can persuade my parents to buy for me)

Oh wait... The price. *checking* Oh my goodness!!! RM 69.90!!! *Faint*

My first interview...

When I was shortlisted for the JPA interview, my parents were worried. For them, their daughter is a painfully shy girl. Ya. I was once like that but now I'm quite ok. Not so shy but still a little bit. Well, like they said, old habit dies hard.

I reached there about an hour early. The previous batch wasn't out yet and that includes Chia Zhen. While I was searching for my name, he came out. He saw my name on the panel 1 list and he told me he was in the same panel too. He told me his topics and apparently the interviewers in panel will ask us 2 topics in Malay and English. Argghhh... Malay!!! I'm not really that fluent in Malay but no choice... Still, I was hoping for the best. Oh ya, a little shout out to Chia Zhen. Thanks a lot and you look really smart that day :)

While waiting, I had the chance to talk with some people there. Nice people... There's a guy there. He and I were the earliest. He smiled at me. I smiled at me. He smiled at me. I smiled at him. And the process went on whenever our eyes met. After that, he asked me which school I was from and I answered him. I didn't ask him any question so we didn't talk anymore. Pathetic me... I talked with quite some girls there. Pretty and nice girls. Saw some really tall girls. Made me want to go back and wear high heels...


This is so pretty... I want!!!

My group was the last one so while waiting for our turn, we talked to each other and we enjoyed ourself. The only Malay guy there was kind of left out of the conversation but I tried to make eye contact with him. Don't want to be rude. There's a guy there who kept on calling me green fish and teased me for wearing a green songket kebaya. Haha...

Finally, it was our turn. We had a group discussion. Don't know whether I did well or not. I paused twice for a minute so I'm not so confident with myself. Hope for the best lah. The guy who called me green fish really talked a lot and it was really hard to interupt my group members. I didn't stumble upon words so I consider myself ok already.

I really have to say that the interview was really fun. Meeting new people, getting new experience... Now I have to wait until the third week of May. *Cross my fingers*
