Clap Until The Roof Flies Away

Hello human! How are you? I hope everything is alright for you, because everything is alright for me.

Just a short update for you (maybe not short at all) - I'm selected as a finalist for Kennedy-Lugar YES Program!

No words can describe how happy I am. I would say that I am so blessed to get to this place. I wanna thank everyone who gave me supports along the way. Thank you Ace for stimulating the interview with me, and spending time to help me in the application form. Thank you Jack and Jo for advice. Thank you Kah Mun and Alessandra for telling me about this program. Thank you Puan Tan and Puan Imma Suria for writing me recommendation letters. Thank you Puan Sharifah and Doctor Sadna for giving me guidance. Thank you Rachel and ZiLing for giving me the information. Thank you Yin Fun and Shy Wee for showing your support. Thanks to all my beloved friends and teachers who sent me wishes of luck. And most importantly, thank you, dad and mum, for everything.

I remembered the first time I told my parents about this program, my dad didn't allow me to apply for it. So I tricked him. 'Daddy, I'm just simply trying my luck to apply for it. It's not like I will get it as it is so competitive. And it's not like I must go there if I get it. I'm just applying for it. Getting it or not is another thing. I know I would suffer in regrets if I don't send this application form out. So please, just let me apply for it.'

But then, now, he's very very very proud and happy for me. Love you, dad! Love you too, EnQi, for being such genius and trick your dad! (lol)

Okay to be honest, my spot is not 100% guaranteed yet, as I'm still waiting for their review about my final application forms and medical file, for eligibility (J1-visa) and medical clearance. Hope everything goes well! <3

(and i can't believe both me and my roommate made it omg love you qianwen hehehhe)

Honestly, I would never dare to dream to go to U.S.A. in my life. It's 15,061 km away from Malaysia, far across the great Pacific Ocean, and 20 hours of flight duration to reach there. It's like a wonderful dream to me, and I don't want to wake up. I know I will miss my family and friends in Malaysia very much, but I will not allow homesickness to ruin my 6 months over there in the United States.

P/S: I WONDERED IF I CAN FEEL SNOW AND BUILD A SNOWMAN AND MAKE A SNOW ANGEL!
(sorry I'm too excited only caps can express my feelings :P)

Kay bye. Gotta study for SPM now. Good luck to you, readers. ;)

Life as a Form 6 Student / STPM Candidate

Update @ 27/3/19:  Since Google+ comment has been turned down, I've posted another post, Should You Go for Form 6/STPM here . Feel free to ask or comment. More than glad to help! Back in 2016, I joined Form 6 without second thoughts because I didn't want to limit my options for the future (which is why I turned down a 100% scholarship for foundation in Xiamen University Malaysia) I didn't want to pay for A-Levels (I could only get partial scholarships) I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and I didn't want to choose a diploma yet I swear to God, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was a straight A's student in SPM 2015 and yet I find STPM extremely challenging. If I say I worked 100% hard for my SPM, I definitely worked at least 800% harder for STPM. Like my friend once said, you won't know if you are really good in academics until you've come to STPM. 10A's in SPM is really nothing compared to 4.0 in STPM.  I took Pengajian...

Life In The U.S.A. #8 - Close to The End

Counting down 9 days till I leave Vegas... Yes, I'm excited to go home and meet my beloved family and friends, but I'm really sad to leave my wonderful host family and my amazing friends. I still remember how I felt during my flight. I was nervous but super excited that meet my host family. I was thinking how should I call them and what I can say if things get awkward. And yay I arrived. I remember the first thing I saw when I arrived at the McCarran International Airport - slot machines. Dang. It's Vegas being Vegas. *laugh* (And guess what? There are slot machines in the pharmacies too! No idea why but it doesn't matter. It's Vegas. That explains it all.) I remember my host mum was looking smoking hot at the airport :P And we went to... (Let's just skip it. I swear I can tell you every single detail that happened on my first day here but I don't know how long I will take to finish it.) My exchange journey had been amazing. It's full of ups and do...

Feminism

Back in the days where I was a total mess after a bad breakup, I worked hard to put up my brave front, shed no tears and face everyday with an aggressive attitude. I tried so hard just to tell myself that I'm fine being on my own and I do not need anybody else to complete my life. And I was called a feminist, not really in a good way. I felt truly insulted. I don't know, but it feels like feminist is somebody who is not lovable nor approachable. It feels like a feminist is equivalent of being alone and meant to be a virgin for the rest of her life. It took me years to realize that feminism is not that bad after all. In fact, it is something I should be proud of. I'm not going to talk in depth about the first and second waves of feminism in the history. I'm just going to talk about feminism in the present, where many people would assume that "it's just a bunch of females getting butthurt over some random shit". Recently, my class had been told som...
