thinking about making this whole blog "neighborhood only"
but then again, I know there's a few of you from high school who still visit to check if I'm still alive. Especially those who don't know my tumblr url.
decisions decisions.
who wants to rock climbing wimme once my exams are over!
kamon kids!
2 weeks till my last paper!
my uncle will moving out to Boston tomorrow.
He'll be doing his MBA in MIT, U.S. Joining the Sloan Fellowship.
I asked him how he felt, moving there for a year. Being amongst extraordinary individuals - who build satellites and the like. He was as confident as ever. He told me how this is his way , of setting an example to us nieces and nephews, how its never too late to further our education and dream big because with hard work, pure hard work, doors will always open for us. I felt so inspired, so in awe of where he's going and what he's doing, that it suddenly kick-started the drive to want to excel. to go that extra mile, fulfill my potential. God knows I have what it takes to be like him, its in my genes after all. Im certain that I will go far, and I'll strive to be the best in whatever I choose in the future. I wont settle for mediocrity, why should I? I'm not talking about making big bucks, driving the biggest , fastest, luxurious cars, but knowing that at the end of the day that I've done my very best and I've brought change to my life and of those around me, even in the slightest way. We're here, on this big damn planet for a reason, to make the most of what God has trusted us with. Who knows, I'll probably end up getting married, having babies and being a housewife , and down the drain goes that dream of getting my masters or Phd. But until that's concrete, I'll complete my A-levels, pass with flying colours InsyaAllah, and pursue my geophysics+geology degree, in the U.S ( orrr the U.K orrr wherever else haha ). I have no one to prove to, but myself. Whether its a direct route or one that has many transits , I'll reach my destination somehow. I know I will. *practices The Secret* haha
And screw you, those who think my career choice is a floozy one, and not your typical business, law, or medical degree.
I wont be the one confined to four walls. Drowning myself in coffee, seeing the world only through office windows, stuck in jams every single day , chained to a monotonous lifestyle until I retire. nu-uh !
Im not going to live by society's blueprint of how your wealth defines your success. what's going to define me as person is what I've done and what I will do as person, a muslim, a daughter, niece, sister and friend.
New baby niece Maryam, Omera's 2 years old now, climbed Mount Kinabalu and managed to reach Low's Peak. Visited the Penans again for 6 days. Fell in love, got dumped, smoked too many ciggarettes at once. quitted the next day. bought new colour pencils instead.Parents coming home next week. Getting my license (finally!). dropping by Dubai in june. Boston in August. Moving out to Mutiara Damansara. Shall pick up cycling again, and refine culinary skillz. new Penan braceletes. Gunung Tahan and Gunung Nuang in the works ( when my body claims its fit enough ). New housemates soon, but I'll be moving out too soon to care. I shall get the most awesome kebaya outfit for Raya. aaaand so ends this random blurb.
What's the biggest disappointment you've suffered?
gee ace fucking timing QotD.

What makes you a good (or bad) neighbor?
I play Backstreet Boys on volumes equivalent to physical assault.
