Of New Beginnings

How’s it hanging people?


(I’m assuming I do have readers; but I guess in reality no one ever does really.)


Quote of the week:


“Maybe you buy like, branded stuff and tell people that you buy fake ones.”


HAHA what the eff. You’re hilarious man, I can tell you that.


So what’s happened in the past week?


I’ve switched from over-using the word weird to strange. Yeah I know big deal yeah?


Hmmm let’s see.


Oh yeah I got into college. Like whoaaaa


My apartment’s pretty tiny, but it’s totally livable. My housemates are awesome. But I shudder to think if, and that’s a big if, the lift ever breaks down. I’d have to walk up like, 11 floors of stairs. Whoaaaa.


School’s great; my teachers are waaaaaaaaaaaay better than when I was in school. Save the odd awesome ones in school. I’m using the word awesome way too much.


Well-known, yet hard to believe fact: Students are poor. Nope, we can't have too much fun. Can't afford to. Unless of course you're rich to begin with.


My English and Econs teachers are way over the cool factor. Mr. M and Mr. Wise yeah. I think I’m gonna learn way a lot here. English is about the Nature of Evil. Dear me, the darkness of it all. My classes are all on the fourth floor, and my books are about 20 kgs. Yeah. I’ma get arm muscles man! And leg ones too, when I think about it.


Met a friend, Diane. Watched the sunrise together on the top floor of our college. It was wiiiicked.


My earphones are busted (again, what is this, like the 5th time?) .Tsk. I need my music.


Well a lot of things've happened and I was laughing the whole week. Assignments haven’t been piling up yet so I’m just chillin’ at the moment.


Oh yeah I think my grammar’s pretty bad. Gotta work on that.

Turning Point

Blog-hopping;

cos Friendster blog just doesn't cut it anymore.

My old blog was here.

__________________________________

As of tomorrow, I will be moving out for the year. It seems strange. There was a point when I was like 14 or so (not too long ago I suppose), when I wanted to be all independent and crap and I thought I could handle it. You’d think I’d be ecstatic staying on my own. But now I’m really not sure. I’ll just take it as it is I suppose. I didn’t force it to happen or anything, it just did. And I feel lucky and I’m grateful for the opportunity. Although there are a few things I’ll miss like;


Blasting music way out loud
Playing the guitar and reading at the veranda outside my house
Home-cooked food
My lovely IKEA bed (oh man, it’s the most awesome bed ever)
The internet connection (although I’m not sure if I’ll miss it that much. Oh wait I would, I need to download new songs)
Just chilling (this house is so awesomely relaxing)
not having to buy my own groceries


And of course well, long talks with my sisters, and just the bonding I get with my family. Since moving I’ve started connecting with them even more, so it’s all good, at least I’ll get to see them every weekend. Now is like a transition period before I go to Canada I suppose.


So I’ve got some new shirts, a trench coat (I know, wtf, my mom wanted me to get it), a big arse leather handbag which I adore (I’ll be able to fit A4 sized files), a new wallet, and some bed sheets and stuff. Funnily enough, I was more excited choosing bed sheets rather than clothes. Hmmm. That a good or bad thing eh.


I dig Brad Walsh at the moment. And The Rolling Stones. And Wolfmother.


Anyhow, yeah, I have a strange thing when it comes to numbers.


My birth date is 11.11 and my 21st birthday will be on 11.11.11 (Sadly enough, I will not be in Malaysia when I turn legal). So it’s like 901111.
PMR number; 099
SPM number; 222
Medical check up number: 333
Stamp duty number: 1300


And a few others that I can’t remember.


Well yeah they’re all random, but it’s all nicely done yeah? I find it strange. My sister goes, NO WAY YASMIN NO F’KIN WAY. All the time.


They’re probably just coincidences. I think they’re pretty cool though.


Oh yeah Wanted is awesome. This is exactly why McAvoy is my favourite actor; always delivering the unexpected.


Anywho, got a ‘lil more packing and preps to be done. Signing off with Mick Jagger’s wise words; you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need.


Oh wait, just a thought before I sign off;


As youths, the last thing we should ever lose is hope. What can you do if your basic human rights are taken away from you? The power to choose. For the betterment of society. I know cynicism is easy; but there will be justice. Soon. Just don’t lose hope, and be patient; we are the new generation, the new voices.


Believe me, picketing is not the only way.


Just think, what can we do?


Have a good one y’all.
