A Step To The Future

Dear readers and bloggers,

First thing first, thank you for spending your time to view my blog.
It is just a simple and empty one but it won't stay in that position for long.
Today I will inform a splendid news to everyone around the globe to know that from now onwards my life will change completely. It wasn't the fact that when I reach 20 everything will just change in a blink of an eye but to realize that I am still growing up into maturity, things around me change as well.

In a week's time, I will set my foot at the most prestigious University in Malaysia-Universiti Malaya (UM). Some people may think and feel that it is ridiculous for a person like me to be able to get such a good entry to further my studies in a University such as UM, but I don't think the doubts should be commented or even be questioned because I did what I did, and I got what I got. It is as simple as that. I am no super girl or anything like that, I just played my part as a student, as a daughter, as a sister, and as a friend. This is truly God's Blessing towards me and not to forget the full support from my loved ones and friends. If you were to ask my immediate family members and Form Six friends about how I spent my two years studying for STPM examination, the answer that they would most probably give is that I always cry during day or night and God hears my cry and silent prayers all the time whenever I feel tensed or compared. There was once I boycott my studies and I wanted to abort studying Form Six. In the end, with God's help by my family, teachers, and friends, I stood up again as a Form Six student. I began to be more active and sociable and not having friendship problems anymore. I was new to the school but I will not make it a reason. What has past has past. Like they say, "Let bygones be bygones" and in a nutshell, I am moving on as myself and I think everyone should, too.

I am very blessed, glad, happy, and grateful to be accepted as one of the qualified students in UM. I am not saying that UM is great or anything like that (for the fact that it is great in itself according to its history if you know it), I just felt that I am still dreaming in my own dream and fantasyland. I even asked my Mom once when she was driving that is it for real I am entering UM? You know... It is like... Has my Mom ever thought that I, her daughter, will enter UM? Oh, whose parents do not hope for excellence in their children's life? I am sure all parents want to see their children fly high in whatever they do. Anyways, I just received my offer letter yesterday and I am now busy preparing for Uni life and also applying for scholarships. So far, I only applied one and it is a great competition out there.

To those who are still blur about my course... Don't worry because I will show you the link that leads to my course's information. Feel free to log on to the website for more details, alright? Thanks very much! For my first year, which will start in July this year, I will study Arts in General because it is Bachelor of Arts course! I have no rough idea about what it is but I will certainly update you guys about it much later on. As for my second year, I can choose which course I would like to major in. I will most probably choose East Asian Studies, which enables me to be part of the Student Exchange programme to Japan for a year during the course. Besides that, I will also learn more about Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea), and Chinese (China) culture, tradition, modernization status, as well as history and most importantly, language. It also has a blend of international relations among these countries. To me, it is a good start for myself as I wasn't Chinese educated since young but I do know how to speak Chinese as it is my mother tongue. My weakness is that I do not know how to read and write most of the Chinese characters and writings. My course is a 3 years course and it is equivalent to 6 semesters. As I have promised earlier, this is the link that will bring you to the course that I am about to explore...

I have a foster family in Nagasaki and my Okaasan would like me to go to Japan again. She also agrees that I should take this programme as my major course after completing my first year. We have not met for the last 4 years now and I miss and love her so much. We still keep in touch via e-mail. She writes and speaks English. She learns and teaches English. That is what I admire about Japanese people-they never stop learning even when they reach their retirement age. That's the word! There is never a thing called retiry in the Bible of their lives. They work all the time. They live a healthy and happy lifestyle. Amazing strength! But of course, a workaholic should know his or her limits. There's gotta be more to life, don't you think?

Oh, well, I guess I shall call it a night now (hehe... it is 1:10 in the morning-Malaysia time-now), so, I I must get back to my brother's desk to read what the offer letter and all the other documents have in store for me before I sleep. Will be going to my Form Six school (for the third time already) today at around 9:00 a.m. to see the Principal and my Teacher(s). I need to certify some documents, that's why... Once again, thank you for lots your time and see you next time! Hehe... My next story is about my new life and before that, I will tell you what happened to me two nights ago. Want some clues? One clue:fish bone. Keep those ideas coming in based on the clue! I will be back when I wanna come back. Till then, mattane! See you next time! Jya ne! =") Zai jian! Wan an... Oyasuminasai...

Love,
