Restarting life

Salam Alaykum,

yes . I haven't updated in such a long time. I wanted to, honestly, but procrastination got over me. I had true intentions to update while I was in school, but somehow, that free time would be accompanied by studying and frequent naps, needless to say, it's a hectic life, packed as a student of boarding school. Especially prestigious schools like MRSM Tun Ghafar Baba.

"MRSM TGB really pushes us hard,"
 well, to be honest, deep down, I disagree. I don't really think that the teachers really push us that hard, but its the expectation that everyone gives.

"Straight A punya laaa" 

is amongst the many that are told to TGB students constantly, and when we slack off in examinations, especially in our standard examination (which, believe me, is harder than finals), we tend to become upset, and start to comment on this and that.

So here, the what I wanted to talk about is what TGB taught me throughout the year;


  1. To be independent.
  2. To realize how much dirty clothes you have and take responsibility upon it
  3. To choose the right friends.
  4. To not take anything personally
  5. To protect your ground
  6. To keep staying on your feet
  7. That maybe the boy you like, is just because you like the concept of him
  8. Try not to hurt other people's feelings.
  9. True colours will appear after school
  10. Sometimes you need to be a little hypocrite
  11. Language subjects are subjective according to teachers, don't worry if you don't get an A.
  12. Mathematics/Additional Mathematics can only be helped with exercise.
  13. You won't have time for Wattpad
  14. Or Novels
  15. You'll watch so many movies
  16. You'll discover so many new genres.
  17. You'll become versatile to everything
  18. You have to fit in with everyone
  19. You might not find your soulmate, but you'll find true friends.
  20. You have to wake up from dreaming and step into reality.
  21. Help your elders no matter what.
  22. Never ever ever talk bad about teachers.
  23. If you've done bad things, you have to be brave enough to admit it.
  24. Liking someone isn't wrong
  25. Don't fall in love yet
  26. Prioritize yourself before others.
  27. Find yourself
  28. Learn how to study according to your preferences.
  29. Stop being clingy
  30. Eat healthy
  31. Prevent yourself from going to the store / cafe
  32. Do your duties as a prefect
  33. Never not send laundry to the dobi
  34. Always turn up early
  35. Wake up early
  36. Have a goodnight beauty sleep
  37. Gossip is everywhere
  38. Stay strong


All in all, staying at a boarding school is tough, and I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I had a hard time adapting, despite how strong I look, albeit I've been to TGB numerous times during Sarah's studies, although people think I'm from MRSM too during my lower form, 

Adapting to a new environment is hard
and you should never underestimate those who are in sorrow during their first few days and encourage them. Oh, and seniors should stop the annoying-ass-heartbreaking roll calls to the juniors. Its unnecessary, really.  Even now, I'm still adapting my life here, especially that its socializing with friends 24/7 without parents and although there might be wardens, still it ain't the same as our parents.

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...
