Second semester

Having a semester break, a short one, still makes me appreciate the luxury of being able to blog whenever I like. Was pretty caught up with quite a number of problems make me not a really happy person. Just not the kind of genuine happy. I've always told myself now and then, I will be happy because I'm happy and not because I want to.

So in less than a week time, I will be entering the second semester of A-Level. Haven't been truly enjoying college because of the ever-suffocating workload, I'm glad to be able to take just some time off this holiday although I still have some work on hand to complete. Perhaps next semester will be a better one and a brand new start for me, with a whole new perspective and motivation. Despite having to face AS, IELTS and CAE exams (all three in one semester!), and not to forget to intimidating university application (one of which I love and hate at the most), I still wanna seize every single moment of this six months as without realising, 2016 will be approaching. And perhaps after AS, I will have a wayyy longer semester break and more precious family time when my brother lands on homeland after 10 months. Entering the age of 18, besides learning the juggle with my own problems, time spent with family and friends especially those I'm not able to been that often is one of which I truly appreciate the most. You never know or without realising, it's time to bid farewell. With a heavy heart (a sunken feeling), 2016 is most probably a hardest time to settle down when most of my peeps will be embarking on their universities life in different countries, and maybe I will be apart of them as well. It's totally impossible for me to be at the same place with all of them, just a handful of them. Whereas, most of my dearest friends, will most probably be staying here at our homeland. It's heart-breaking not being able to explore a whole new world with them but the idea of being able to come home to them once a while still comforts me much.

Here I have listed out the countries which I will be handing in my university application real soon, and I decided to keep the names a secret until I make my decision (or you can ask me personally if you are really that desperate):

1. the United Kingdom, of majestic English buildings and Malaysians-try-to-copy British accent
2. Australia, where kangaroos and koalas fascinate me
3. Canada, where one of the major city located along the vast blue sea in the lush green forests gives me a rustic yet enjoyable kind of feeling
4. Hong Kong, a bustling city which have many undiscovered and hidden gems
5. Singapore, just our neighboring county!
6. Malaysia, how can I forget my homeland
