Goodbye JB, Hello KL

Today's my "last" day here in JB! I'm totally excited at the prospect of going to another place for a few years, and gaining a good experience in being a chef! I will be leaving tomorrow morning, so for those of you whom I didn't get to say goodbye to personally, GOODBYE! Also, take good care of yourselves and work hard! Be someone useful to society!

Okay, I want to get this off my chest: To Miss G, you may have my best interests at heart when you advised me about my choice of path that I have taken, but looks like you mixed both professional and personal advice together, thus giving me the impression that you want to keep me here in JB, squeezing every last ringgit out of my parents. I somehow don't share that sentiment, as I am already 20, and needed to get out of this rut and move on. Look, I know that I have already reached Grade 10 - 11, and I only have a few more books to go to allow me a chance to take the SAT examinations, and in turn will allow me to pursue my dreams of being a great artist, but circumstances have made me drop all plans to be an artist (for now) and be a chef, which is my second favourite profession. I always believe that when God closes a door, He opens another. So, thank you for your kind opinions and advice, but I will stick to what I think is right, and continue to join this culinary programme. In all my years at A&O Word Centre, I have enjoyed every moment (good AND bad!), and I continue to wish this school every success in the coming years and the future. To Miss G, you've been a fantastically supportive teacher/friend/principal to me, and I will forever be grateful to you for taking me into your school way back in Feb 2009. Also to the other teachers, Teacher Eileen, Teacher Benny, and of course Teacher Wendy, I have enjoyed your company through all this time I've been at this school, and hope to see you all very soon!

Leaving JB for a few years will definitely be tough, but life's like that: you need to move on in order to grow. I hope that everyone will be kind, loving, and patient to each other, and in that way the world will be a nicer place to live in. I'm not going to be blogging or Facebooking so often from Oct 31 onwards, so this is going to be my "last" blog post for now...

Ciao, peeps! Don't miss me too much! *jokes jokessssss* xoxo

quote of the day

Love is promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear...

Marco Simoncelli: 1987-2011

Marco Simoncelli: 1987-2011

First of all, I want to offer my sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Marco Simoncelli, who passed away today. He was involved in a fatal crash involving three bikes during the second lap of the Malaysian Grand Prix. I just can't find the words to say anymore about this incident. It's the second fatality in motorsport, having already lost British racecar driver Dan Wheldon to injuries too, in an Indy Car crash last week. Shudder. But this is racing: there's always the risk, and unfortunately it's part of their (the riders and drivers) jobs. Sh*t happens, and I especially am gutted to know that the world has lost a talented, up-and-coming racer. He will always be remembered as the guy with the big hair (well at least to me!). R.I.P, Marco...

greener pastures? come on over!

truth be told, i dont even know if people even read my blog anymore.

*horrible negative thoughts arising again* aww shucks. cant help it. its human nature.

as i am typing this, it will be my last post for a week. i will be 'seeking newer and greener pastures' for the next whole week. i dont want to reveal too much, as its not 'confirmed' yet, but i will be on trial for a week, and God willing i will 'begin my new life' not a moment too soon. *hope and pray* =)

meanwhile i am supposed to be packing for my trip tomorrow, but i need a 'break' in between. procrastination. that seems to be my favourite hobby. ha! i just somehow felt like i needed to blog about this. dont want to tell it to people. want them to read it from my blog. (haaaaaa. if they ever do, that is...)

okays then. looks like its curtains for my AO WORD CENTRE days. after this next one week i 'may or may not' return to that place anymore. dont want to start being sentimental (i always am), and negative about anything, so i guess the buck stops here, and i want to go get some rest before tomorrow's bus ride up to 'somewhere'. God bless WORD CENTRE, and also to all my colleagues there. enjoy your next week of school!


goodnight world! XOXO

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder, has passed away. The co-founder was 56 and had been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer. This is the guy who was responsible for introducing the global community to desktop publishing and computer animated movies and creating the first commercially successful computer. Jobs co-founded Apple Computer at the age of 21 out of his garage in Cupertino, California. He built the business into a mind-boggling success with devoted fans around the world. Apple has since brought us the iPod, iPhone, iPad tablet and more. Sad... See, this goes to show: LIFE'S UNPREDICTABLE. We can seem to be healthy today, but might be sick with a certain disease or worst, have a rare disease that cuts our life on this earth short. Just a recent example: Steve Jobs was such a visionary (and I'm not alone in using the V word to describe him), yet he had to go so soon. We all have to cherish our lives and be the best that we can be everyday.

We hope Jobs's family will pull through and find solace in time of grief.

R.I.P, Steve Jobs. The whole world will miss you (and your would-be-but-never-will-be ideas to revolutionize computer technology around us).
