one.step.better

muahahaha.. feeling really good and happy of myself today. first of all, i finally get to see my taekwondo friends after a few weeks. missed them so much. they are really my family and we can talk every single rubbish on this world. and the best thing about them - transport to go out. :)

ok, back to the title. the one and only reason that i am so happy today is i have achieved something that i wanted for a long time. and i didnt really expect it. first of all, there was a controversy about a month ago concerning who is the last member for the team comprising carmen and i. at first it was ky, then it was wj. but all in all, there was this one same opponent that carmen and i was wanting to beat so badly - sj. alas, from opponent it became team mate. but what a great oppurtunity that was.. 'cause because of that, i got my first ever poomsae team gold medal. :D although i was a team with carmen and sj, but my team with carmen and wj still existed. i was just in 2 teams. and the best part was not winning the gold but winning both the gold and silver. YES! i did win both. and the both teams were the only teams that have marks which were more than 15. :)

yeap. now 2 parts down of my happy day. to top things up. i won a bronze in my individual event. i was kinda expecting it since sj and carmen is in the same category as me. i didnt have any choice but to accept the fact that they were in fact better than me. i was a lil hoping that i could beat carmen this time. but maybe not today, maybe another day. i was sad when i saw myself out of the top 3 spots running for medal contention. i guess lady luck was with me today. 'cause they came and told me that there would be 5 medals for each individual category. that actually totally made my day. this means i achieved something harder to achieve than 3 golds. 3 golds i quite easy to get if we work hard enough. and i didnt give my best today, truthfully.

so today, i got 3 medals. 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze. every colour at stake. i reached my aim of getting at least a medal in every category i participated and getting a gold in my team event. i wanna emphasize that im damn happy today. but this is not the end. this is just the starting. so i have to work harder as my exams are over now. i wanna go one step better. i wanna get 1 gold and 2 silvers the next time. and my next competition for now is - NATIONALS held in march next year :) looking forward to it. hopefully it doesnt clash with my ns.

start.over

1996. the first time i step into kindergarten. Tadika Krisalis. the beginning of my studying life. what a great kindergarten it was..and still is.

1997. transferred to TTDI branch of Krisalis. continued my wonderful kid life and made many new friends. learn a lil more than when i was at the Cheras branch.

1999. transferred again. this time to Tadika Eduland. it's nearby my house so it's easier for my mum to travel to and fro.

2000. enrolled into one of the biggest chinese primary school in malaysia. SJK (C) Desa Jaya. first day of school. heard a lot of crying. but not mine. they were from those beside me. i was just as cool as normal. parents all waited outside during the first day. well, it's not everyday you get to see your child go to school for the first time.

2005. graduated from primary school. missed my graduation for my cousin's wedding in penang. cried all the way to penang because i missed graduation and all my teachers and friends. got my results for UPSR. happy for the 7As 'cause i really didn't expect it at all.

2006. stepped into secondary school for the first time. also known as middle school in some countries. surprised to be even in the committee of the class. and went on to be the monitor for 4 years.

2008. PMR. great year with great friends to share it with. had some dilemmas along the way but not anything that i cant settle with such great people surrounding me. happy year again as i was actually shocked that i got straight As again. an A in chinese was the biggest shock of all 'cause i planned to drop the subject at first.

2009. it was the same secondary school but now we were technically in high school. best year of all my years in school to date. 4 Murni'09 best class forever. 'Our Class is Our Home, We Are One Big Family'. the class motto will always be in my heart.

2010. the last year of getting formal education from the government. and also the year of SPM. so called the hell year. SPM. what do i think of it? i think it's the most important exams that we have to face during our years in secondary school. without it, don't even think of going to college or a university. don't even plan on getting a job that is not a waiter or waitress. had ups and downs during this year. sad times and happy times. awfully stressed up this year. technically no rest time. and it feels like we were rushing past everything this year without taking time out to enjoy the view.

14 Dec 2010. so on this day. i write this. thinking back on all the memories i had with all the great and amazing people around me. finished my SPM and quite confident of achieving what i aimed for. it may not be as amazing as the others. but i aim what i am capable of. so, where do i go from here? college? work? help out others with their jobs? train more to go to nationals? it's the next part of our lives. i need to make this decision. and i have to make it quick. going to education fair for the 5th or 6th time. got to finalise everything as i have shortlisted the few colleges that i plan to study at. i am taking it too fast? should i slow down and enjoy life before continuing later? will i miss out on things? will i be able to catch up later? these are the questions that are constantly arousing in my mind. and i really do hope to have a clean start next year. without anything to worry about.

random.mixed.up

so it's been a while since i have written any post here. so i guess today is the day. =x ermm, just and update of my life. i'm into the last stretch of my SPM now. there is 3 more papers for me. and to say the truth, i'm a lil not fond of 2 out of the 3 subjects left. that's sad, aint it? sigh~ but no choice. its life, just face it! what i'm facing these few weeks is kinda mixed up, thus the title.


first thing that came up was the competition. i knew that there was gonna be a competition during the 20th of Dec stretch. but who knew it was on the 20th! that was the main problem. well to explain things, i'm finishing my exams on the 14th, then going for state cadet camp(scc) on the 15th till the 19th. then i'm coming back for my competition. guess now it's clear what my problem is. master even warned me about my timing, saying i better make time for training. 'cuz this is not about myself, just don't wanna frustrate my teammates later. but out of all, i have a good news which is, im get a good team this time. Carmen, Kok Yang, we can do it!!


the second thing that popped out, i mean literally, 'cuz i received an email frm Mdm Audrey concerning the scc. then when i opened it. i was a lil shock. as it stated i was the lead camper for tmn ehsan. that i understand as i was the only 'old' one to go. the other thing was 3 other leaders and i were to be the leader for the performance. that was crazy! how am i going to plan for the performance when i am suppose to study?! but that kinda sorted itself out. so im settle with that problem for now IF they dont turn down the offer that ST proposed.


the third thing that really made me feel like hell was national service (ns). i really prayed hard to be in the first batch like my bro. of course i wanted the first batch as i wouldn't have to waste so much time to wait for my turn for ns. then i saw on fb that many of my peeps got the first batch with the majority going to sabah and sarawak. well, im happy for them, but sometimes i have to be a lil selfish and take care of my heart. i was and still am sad now. but my mum as great as she is, send in an application for me hoping that i can be in the first or the second. hopefully that goes through and truthfully now i would rather be in the second batch. :3


lastly and the most important thing that has been bothering me since last night. my further education and my future career. my mum just told me that if the house gets sold, they would send me to SHML. of course im excited. but one thing that bothers me is when will i get back after i leave? i definitely want to study there, but i will most definitely miss my besties here. studying plus the training there is around 2 years and 5 months. there after hotels are going to offer me jobs(according to Urs). so, when will i get a chance to come home? i cant be turning down job offers and coming back here, cant i? think by the time comes, i'll be discussing this a lot with my parents and family. >.<

so that's it! i really needed it. just some place for me to let out my feelings. i feel like i'm the persona of the poem 'The Road Not Taken'. but no matter what, i will make the right choice. :)

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
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.
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.
