Through The Looking Glass

Most of you will agree with me if i say that life in school is no doubt the best time of our life. I'm totally agree with what the author wrote in this post: http://www.malaysia-students.com/2008/03/life-after-school.html, which is we should try to jot down everything that happened in our life or school time in a blog or something else. It's really worthed to do so because our brain can't remember everything that happened in our life and we won't be able to experience the best moments that we had again.

I'll start with my primary school life. I'm a happy-go-lucky boy who never think about my future. I performed quite well academically in Standard 1 to 3 and i managed to jump class, from Standard 3 to 5 through the PTS (Penilaian Tahap Satu) examination, which was abolished about 8 years ago (i was in the last batch). Some of the memorable moments that happened in my primary school life are performing some naughty 'stunts' with my schoolmate, we waited for the teacher to come every morning and helped them to take their stuff after they parked their car (we were so naive), i passed my UPSR examination with flying colours and i appeared in a newspaper article!

Can you find me? (Tips: I'm in the front row)

I moved from Selayang to Puchong when i was in Form 1 and my life was topsy turvy at that moment. Soon, i found out that my life in Form 1 isn't that bad after all because i was placed in the class 1 Cekal. (I believe everything happens for a reason) There's where i met my new, good friends. A memorable experience that i had with them is we went to Genting Highlands in a school trip in Form 2. It was so fun and i will do anything to go there with my friends again. Then i had a fight will a friend of mine in Form 3 and we didn't speak with each other for few days. However, friendship will overcome anything and we speak to each other again. Our friendship even got better after that incident.

Things doesn’t turned out exactly as what I’ve planned when I was in Form 4. I chose pure science stream instead of account & science class where the most of my Form 3’s classmate had chosen. There’s where I met new classmate, new syllabus, new life. I’ve started to be more mature and less dependent on somebody else. I also realised what i missed and lost in this period of time. A lot of bad things happened but everything is just water under the bridge now.

There were a lot of first time experiences in the year 2006 and 2007. For instance, I went out with friends to Time Square for the first time (which was not a school trip). Can you believe that I went out with friends for the first time I was 15? Some even done that at the age of 12! On my 16th birthday, I was surprised that few of my friends want to celebrate my birthday with me. So we went to watch Transformers that day, ate in Secret Recipe, played a few rounds of bowling (a lot of funny things happened while we are playing bowling) and we went to Bandar Puteri to have our dinner.

One of my most memorable experiences in school is a girl cried beside me in the biology lab (and I’m not the one nor teacher who made her cry). I was shocked and stunted at that moment and I don’t know what I can do! I didn’t say anything to her and I just let her to cry for as long as she wanted. I’m so regret about this incident because as a gentleman, I should calm her down and comfort her. (I hope you will forgive me if you saw this:)

Is now the right time for me to sell all these books?

I like cars!

Since SPM result was announced a week ago, i'm under a huge dilemma. What course should i choose? Industrial design or mechanical engineering? Industrial design is what i wanted to study but i might face low employment after graduated from college/university. Mechanical engineering is in the 2nd place of my list but i can get employed in a wide range of occupation. I have to make up my mind as soon as possible because the dateline for scholarship & course application are getting nearer. Both road looks equally inviting to me, maybe i should choose 'it' and leave the another road for another day. Let's pray for a better beginning of the end.
