Accepted!
Ohhh... can you just remember the moment after SPM, when you were having the time of your life, but then when the results come out.. POOF. It was all just a dream.
Now you're rushing to get accepted into some institute of higher education, well, either you're doing it for yourself, or you're being pushed to do it. It all comes down to what's best for you, and naturally at that point of time, you don't know that yourself. That's what i felt, but i don't know about other people. Anyways, i got accepted into this kick-ass university called UTP(University Technology Petronas) and i didn't know what was coming. Tests, labs, and projects hit me very hard and it took time to get used to. It does take time for students to get the hang of Uni life, and i'm pretty much stable at the moment. And when i say "get the hang of Uni life", UTP makes it such a place that you need to find something to do that's enjoyable or fun because this campus is as dead as a public toilet that is not cleaned up.
So while i was getting the hang of UTP, i indulged myself into watching movies, and this particular movie was a bang! The title is Accepted, made in 2006, by Universal Pictures, and the only thing that caught my attention during the first few minutes of the movie was that the female co-star was the one and only Serena Van der Woodsen!! I'm not that big a fan of Gossip Girl, but i must say that this girl is very very pretty(one of the reasons i watched Gossip Girl in the first place).

Serena(I don't know her real name)
As the movie progressed, it became more and more funnier and interesting, and soon, the main attraction wasn't just Serena(Monica was her name in the movie) but instead the whole movie itself. The synopsis is like;
A group of highschool graduates did not get accepted to any colleges, and decided to make their own college. It started with acceptance letters and also a fully functional website that accepts students with just one click(the websites motto was "Acceptance is just one click away"). Even the name of the college was funny, South Harmon Institute of Technology which in short is S.H.I.T..
So eventually, the fake college that was made up just to deceive the group of unaccepted graduates started having more students(due to the one click away scheme on the website). At first, the creator of the fake college, Bartleby, wanted to tell the so-called students that the college was a fake, but after seeing the expression of happiness by being accepted that the students had on their faces, he decided to make the place something real. The courses that were available are made by the students, such as Slacking 101, Rock Our Faces Off 302, and others with very informal names. The college became more lively and the best thing was that the students were learning what they wanted to learn, not what the government thinks they should know. Unfortunately, the place where the college was created was in the way of a construction of a huge gateway for a real college - Harmon, and the dean of the college would stop at nothing to get the gateway done. So eventually the secret came out that the S.H.I.T. was a fake and Bartleby would be sued. But one of Bartleby's friend got them a meeting with the accreditation panel of Education of the state, to try and get S.H.I.T. accredited as a real college. And as usual, every movie naturally has a happy ending, so S.H.I.T. became a real college, with only 1 teacher and dean, and the students teach themselves. And also, all the students called themselves S.H.I.T. heads. Oh yeah, Bartleby got Monica too.
awesome movie
bartleby: We're shitheads and we are proud to admit that!
bartleby: We're shitheads and we are proud to admit that!
It was a great movie, and there's only one thing i can ask after watching it. Am i learning what i want to learn in my Uni? Is it what i want to do for the rest of my life? Oh well, getting accepted is hard enough, so i should stop complaining. I just wonder, what's the purpose of education ? Is it just some kind of propaganda that terrorizes students for 10 years or more and then haunts them for the rest of their lives, forcing them to live the way the system, the government, and the society dictates them to? To me, education can be a life saver in the future, where you can get a good job and salary, but some people have dreams they would die for, and it's a pity if that dream would be killed by our so-called education system.

It's been a while.
PHuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
So long was it since i posted anything. No reasons, i don't know why.
Its been a rough time lately, or rather, these few months.
Haven't been doing what a student should be doing, and have been doing stuff student's should not.
The details, well, just to keep it simple; it ain't pretty.
This blog will soon become a trashcan of thoughts and regrets, hopes and failures, and stuff like that.
I just can't find another way to take these things of my mind, so hopefully, this might work.
To make things clearer, for me, cause' i wanna read this later after i post it, i will start of with a story.
Once upon a time, this boy like this girl. This girl was perfect for the boy(so it seemed) so the boy was head over heels for this girl. Unfortunately, by the ever so random choice of fate, this girl only wanted the boy as kawan. But the boy don't want that, and after certain human mistakes, the boy decided to completely ignore the girl. Well, after a while, the girl was sad(so she said) cause her kawanboy is not her kawan anymore. But the boy began to see that he was being selfish and stupid, so he maafkan her, and invited her to his birthday. The boy still has that present she gave him until now (using it i may add). But after secondary, the boy and girl began to drift apart, so the boy go and try to close the gap before the girl went overseas. He still kept in touch with her when she was in a land far far away. It seemed like they were closer than ever before, only that it "seemed' that way, unfortunately not. So this girl got together with a boy who is a friend of the kawanboy, and the same human mistake happened again, causing a more severe ignorance complex. After all that happened between the girl and her kawanboy, the kawanboy will surely have a major hard time to get things together. So the kawanboy stupidly got together with a different girl he liked. The kawanboy decided that time will make him fall for this girl. It at first seemed that way, the kawanboy liked this girl very much, and would do many things for her, even stuff that would get him in serious trouble with his parents if he were found out. But the kawanboy started to realize, the way the relationship was working, he would keep getting disappointed and depressed. This was because everything the kawanboy does for this girl, it was only tearing him and the girl apart. Another point to add was that the parents of the kawanboy, were strict about dating. So the kawanboy had to lie each time, and this didn't make anything better. And the kawanboy started to mistreat the girl, and make her feel bad, and although he realized it, he didn't have the guts to keep up. He did try to make her feel better, it wasn't hard to do, but still, he could not do it. From liking to duty, he knew what had become of this thing he had with the girl. So he had to do the hardest thing. He had to become the bad guy. Well, considering the facts, the kawanboy was a badguy, so the kawanboy did it anyway. *break*
The irony is that the kawanboy misses the girl very much but knows that the girl will be angry, and things will not be the same, but he did it because he cares for her. He knows and hopes that there is another boy out there that can give her what he could not because she deserves much more. *the end*
Okay, end of story, and from what i have learned, friends are always friends, if you cross the line, it's gonna take a huge U-turn to get back. And also, there is more to doing the right thing than doing it just for self gain.
This is the first time i ever told this story, and to be frank, i'm quite embarrassed by just typing it. But then again, i like to keep stuff to myself, and i don't have a freakin' diary, so i'll just post it here where nobody reads it. I'm not emotional or depressed, i just have a lot in mind, and i've got study week ahead, so my mind works best empty, or not full.

No Pics, just Words.
I have to try to keep this blog alive. Syg je buat if i don't update it.
It's a funny thing when all you can describe something is written in words, but no picture to present. But with words, anything is possible, like when i say i have hair that spikes like a porcupine. First thing that comes to mind is "He's got punk'd hair.". But nah, i don't have spiky hair. My hair barely stands up. Get my point?
Therefore, it is much more interesting to read something in words, imagining what the hell the writer is trying to describe, compared to checking the real thing out, which can be quite "potong stim".
I remember reading the Lord of The Rings book, and it was describing this city call Minas Tirith. How the author, Tolkien, described it, the place was a living paradise on earth. Thankfully, when the movie came out, Minas Tirith was portrayed beautifully and absolutely fit to be considered a marvel of construction, but only in fantasy. Cause' the city was actually carved out from a mountain, and was so splendid(kuno) that the idea itself would baffle even today's architects.
Anyway, that's what makes movies that are adopted from novels such great masterpieces. Sadly, not all are that way, and even the ones that were are starting to lose their charms, probably because anxious movie goers who can't wait for the movie to be released go and purchase the book and find out what happens in the story. Ah, what a waste. Pretty good example is Harry Potter. The first one came out. It became a hit. Not watching it in a cinema would be the regret of your life. Now, i think it's the Sixth one already, but i haven't even watched the Fifth, not even the downloaded copies. Its because everyone has already read the ending, read all the books, and all that's left to do is to see the cast of the movie and the special effects. ALL ON TRAILERS. But the movie industry is still making big bucks, so whatever.
Sorry for the random thought, saja nak isikan blog nie.

U know what i think?
O.O
I don't really care about what people use their blogs for, but the income they get(if they make it a business) is quite tempting.
As for me, i treat this blog as a trash can. A place to dump all my stuff that i can't tell other people or stuff that would just burden their minds if they were to try and rationalize and then conjure up a neat conclusion, in addition to a whole new set of advices which keep ringing the same tone as ones i heard before.
Current mode = I don't know what to do(besides the obvious -> studying), And I'm caught up in stuff i don't even remember getting into, or even worse, i don't know what they are.
So here i am, dumping my rubbish, on my blog... For my poor readers to read(if there were any, hopefully none cause' it makes me look pathetic ha-ha).
Jammed with thoughts, desires, and regrets, it is hard to focus and get things right. Thankfully, I've got my own type of cigarettes to deal with this. A pack full of DotA and on-and-off futsal games which wears me out physically, allowing me to forget my mental disturbances.
I just wished, for once, i would get my original drive back. The one that got me started on this path. Without a drive, this keeps feeling like a job that has to be done for the sake of doing it. The process becomes impossible to enjoy, the results fail to satisfy not only the person assessing it, but also the person doing the job. If i could sleep now, and wake up knowing that i have something to do, and my soul filled with passion in doing it, life in campus would be so much more lively. Instead, I'm stuck finding stuff to do to cover-up the boredom.
The more this feeling of emptiness remains, i am fearing that even the drama's using foreign languages will not be enough to suffice for my lack of activities. I know this can't continue, it would be very dangerous to my pointer, but what can i do? What is there to do when the root of the problem is not known? Or maybe the problem is known, but there ain't nothing in the world that you/I can do to solve it?
There you go. Tonight's rant about what i think about whatever that is on my mind but not a single focused theme. Or maybe the theme is myself? Who knows.

Trouble...
Trouble is not a friend.
Damn that song from Lenka, nobody wants trouble as a friend.
I might be talking out of my way here, but its my blog, so I'll blab about what i want.
Ha-ha.
At first i thought it was going to be a long time. Really.
But then, time flew by me.
I was thrown right into the real deal!
UG!
Still time flew faster than i could shout," Oi, i haven't finished studying yet!".
There goes my first semester in UG. Three more years left.
Holidays, ah, got to spend precious time with my "dear".
Had the time of my life with her too.
Hoping a lot that there's more to come, but only time will tell.
But apart from that, trouble came along...
Like i said, i don't like trouble, that's why I'm not friends with him/her/it/whatever in the first place.
Financial crunch(not that serious but enough to be troubled.)
Family Misunderstanding(kinda left a hard-to-go-away stain.)
Distance(why the hell must studying have to be away from home.)
InnerSelf(the Force is troubling in me...)
etc...(I'm not being dramatic or anything, just pouring some badass water before i get corrupted.)
But I trust that I will be able to see this true. Life is like this, so i will start to shut up.
Ha-ha.
It could have been worse, so this is the end of my complaining, and the start of my working.
And if "you"re reading this, i will try my best, as a 18-year old student, to rearrange my priorities, and "you"re gonna be way up in the list.

Yeah, we live with regrets...
Regrets make a big part of our lives...
How stupid were we when we did/didn't do what we would regret...
That, up there, goes to me!
Do you ever say to yourself, "Sayang oh sa tida buat macam tu",
"If I only i did something", and so on with other quotes of regrets,
all saying the same damn thing...
THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
But I'm done thinking about my regrets up to now.
Yang sudah, akan "stay" sudah.
Yang baru akan datang.
New stuff coming my way, so goodbye regrets,
hello new opportunities and challenges,
and i'll always be reminded, i will have the time of my life.
p.s. feel like mixing up the languages a little.
