Still a child


Current jam by my favorite!!!!!!
Helloooooooo,

Remember when I thought that I'd have lots of time to spare and just laze around as soon as spring break started? HAHAHA, well I was young and foolish, ok? The first day of Spring Break itself, we flew to Malaysia and uh, what's time off? It's only a short one week visit so our days are all packed with tons of things be it appointments, visits, activities or meetups. But I guess that's why I enjoy my visits back to Malaysia so much, because they're all so productive. We always manage to get all these done in a short period of time when it usually takes forever. 

The other day, I went to the college I'm planning to take my IB diploma in for my admission interview --which I did not even know was an interview in the beginning. Idk man, the place looked so intimidating. But at the same time, it was soooo cool probably because the environment  and vibe it gave was so different to what I'm used to. The place looked so grown up-ish. Can't believe that's where (Insyaallah) I'll be spending the next 2 years of my life studying in. 

Being there has got me reminiscing on my years in school and opened my eyes to the fact that I'm not so little anymore after all. 

A common scenario
Meeting aunties and uncles and this one (or two) sentence tend to be their favorite; "Wah dah besar dah Anis, dah anak dara. The last time we saw you, you were still a baby" 

But the fact that I'm still a child can't be denied. Well, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child did define all individuals under 18 as children sooooo technically since I haven't turned 18, I'm still a kid larh, hehehehehehe. On another note, in just a matter of a few months, I'll be saying bye bye to school uniforms and such. I can't say that I'm completely happy about this so its some kind of a mixed feeling. When I think about it in a more rational way, the uniform-free dress code has its own cons. Also, getting ready for classes would take longer then. I better start practice waking up early from now on, otherwise I'll be the tardy queen soz.

We (the admission person, IB coordinator, my parents and I) had a chat on my future carrier plans etc etc. It was all good, cause I assumed that it was just a general chat, no strings attached lol. Till one point when they were like "Why do you want to do IB?" Out of all the pre-U programmes out there, IB stood out to me the most. Idek how it was able to attract me since the program itself is pretty much a synonym to no sleep, work, work, work, no free time, goodbye social life, etc. Even so, I know that at the end, the hard work will pay off. Besides, it's one of the very few programmes that isn't solely based on academic educations, but also emphasizes on the development of a person as a whole and allows them to foster responsibility through their DP cores. Not to mention the recognition it has among higher education institutions. 


But at that moment I was some sort like HOLY SHIT NOW WHAT DO I SAY. So I ended up talking about things I probably don't even realize I was saying. To recall kan, what did I say? HAHAHA. For now, they're just waiting for my final results. If I do decent enough for this last quarter I'll be a college student thereeee. After all of that they told me that it was my admission interview and I was like um oooooooo-kay. 


Anywaaaaaaaay, goodnight everyone!
