The Story Of Us Part 1


I can't believe I still miss his crooked smile. His soothing voice. The first time sparks flew. Maybe it was fate.  Maybe it was just because.
---------------------------------------
"Hey Alexa,"  Mikayla turned her back to face me." Pencil?"
 I shrugged. Though she couldn't have possibly noticed that.  it was the third time in the week that she wanted to borrow my pencils. AND she hasn't returned my other billion pencils she had borrowed.

But I eventually moved my hand and gave it to her.

I don't know. Maybe its because she was my only friend in this classroom. If I could even call her that.

I miss my old friends back at Birmingham. I don't know why people here are so cold. I'd best go back there if  i had money.

If.

"Hey, lets go to the canteen together,"
I didn't know what to say. Mikayla never used to be this nice.

I only replied a short "okay". Although she says nasty stuff to me, she's the one who always hang out with me so I just tolerate with her.

Well maybe i was a wallflower after all. I have read the Perks of Being A Wallflower though and i surely don't have the same perks as Logan Lerman in the movie too. Plus i'm extremely uncute.

I was just me.
----------------
" Ugh, it looks like Miss Daft is going to change our seats again!" Mikayla cried. " I hope I get to sit next to you."

Alas, I hope the opposite, sorry. I kept this to myself.

The results were out and I was the only one to sit next to a boy. Whilst Mikayla who wanted to sit with me actually chose her other friend that was much more fun and talkative than me. Which actually broke my heart a little as i really hoped i got to sit next to a girl. 

I literally hate boys. And I'm not really used to them. but Eric looked like a nice guy and  i couldn't stand sitting alone again like the past three months. So i'm okay, I guess.
-------
Three months flew and  i still haven't had a real conversation with Eric. Sometimes i blush when we have to do partner work because i feel like everyone is watching us when the truth is no one is interested in stalking us anyways.

When Frank, the new kid started sitting in front of us, Eric moved seats infront beside Frank. Maybe it was because we were socially awkward. Like really awkward.

But Frank was friendly enough. He talked to me a lot and even made Eric talk to me too although I always just nod and smile. They also made me laugh daily listening to their daily chats from behind. Sometimes i would might have just liked Frank.
----------
But then Alex came.
----------
Was it because his name was almost similar to mine or his good looks?

He wasn't that good looking to other eyes but to mine, those freckles, his half framed spectacles and his crooked teeth made butterflies in my stomach.

He was charming.

And thats when the sparks fly.

i thought of....

i have lots of thoughts, yes i do. i thought of whether if i took this degree in malaysia it would be easier. but would it? honestly i have gained a lot of experience here. its not always you can go out at midnight and study at a cafe and feel safe. but korea did that. i mean, korea allowed that. i'm so thankful for everything. im not really as religious or good like i had been before but everyday i pray for specific things. and i dont know why but,, i can finally see how God is answering my prayers. and that being also at the right timing. i got the news when i was calm, not in my bad state (when i felt depressed, which is usually when i'm lonely) and it didn't hurt as worse as i thought it would. i think its also because i think my saved-up tears have already been used up in the past so i'm good now. idk if i said this before but yes of course im sad and of course i cried because i should but i dont know... entahlah i really don't know anymore.

i know

 hey guys, idk i just felt like expressing this first before starting my assignments but idk sometimes it does hit me, you know? i can act like i'm ok but of course i know its ok to not be ok. maybe because i've only told this to like, three friends, not everyone knows how im doing. why? i just dont wanna live as the epitome of pity. i wanna act normal so that i match the energy of people that talk to me and can somehow i guess, echo the emotion sincerely into my deepest thoughts. maybe because, i too, wanna be dramatic and want people to notice and ask but nah, i'm not that petty. i don't feel like talking to a lot of people now, but i'll be honest if people ask me how im doing. im not that much active on social media right now. i rarely tweet, or retweet, or post photos or basically socialise online? i realised i hate it. well, hate is a strong word, and maybe i shouldn't put it that way, but i hate how we can no longer opt for human interaction because of thi...

Post SPM 3 - Scholarships And Loans

Image
Salam Alaykum, I have been writing a few posts, but didn't get the chance to actually publish it. What I did after SPM is actually a blur to be honest. 'Lepas SPM boleh tidur sepuasnya' - they say just so we struggle during SPM. Well, it's partially true. We'll get to rest a lot. For at least 2 to 8 months according to respective time we enter pre-university. But Allahu, to get to pre-u is hard. Having to wait for UPU results and apply scholarships (for those who excel) isn't something that someone would say as fun. Alhamdulillah, my SPM results were satisfying enough, allowing me to apply to a few scholarships/sponsorships and loans. The first offer I got was IPG, which was the first phase for me to become a primary school teacher. I applied for English and maths teacher as those were the subjects i was best at. IPG UKCG 2018 i went to the first stage which was UJIAN KELAYAKAN CALON GURU (UKCG), where we had to answer a f...
