smells like R. Kelly's sheets!

    Assalamualaikum!
    So before I begin today's blog post I would just like to give a quick shout out to Aqilah and the fact that she decided to acknowledge and appreciate the fact that I don't do much ever since I finished my SPM. So for that I give you an interstellar internet high five *slaps*. So recent updates, I just got my braces updated and wired up. Basically my orthodontist decided to readjust and replace a few of my brackets and put in a new wire so my teeth are killing me right now.
    In ISKL scholarship news, I went for my IB info night and thought it went well until my parents broke the news to me that even if I miraculously was able to get the scholarship they wouldn't want me to go to that school because it's in the middle of freaking Kuala Lumpur and I live in Subang Jaya. So I became upset  especially since after that my parents decided to converse about the next worst possible subject; career choices. From previous blog posts I'm sure you'll know that I have been racking my racked up mind about my possible career options for quite some time now. We decided to discuss about this at a nearby German fast food restaurant so I was like "thank God!" Because I was able to hide my sorrows and frustrations by consuming the large sized hotdogs and beverages. I tried my best to be vague as possible because I really wasn't in the mood to discuss about it but they kept pushing and saying that I should decide at that very moment in that German fast food restaurant what I really wanted to do so they can quickly sign me up for the nearest and cheapest twinning programme as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong, I understand my parent's recent financial forthcoming because they just  spent heaps of money sending an older but similarly  as confused and oblivious daughter to the states to finish off her degree that she didn't even wanted to do in the first place so there's a lot at stake for them. But I can't help but feel slightly upset about it.Maybe it's because of the fact that I genuinely don't know what I want to do once I enter university so by going for a programme that is as vast and long like the IB diploma will (hopefully) help me properly decide what I really want to do in life. I've heard way too many degree choosing regret stories to scare me off entering university entirely. Believe me, I've heard way more than the ones my grandmother keeps telling me about. Seriously, sometimes I envy the ones who immediately know what they want to do right after SPM.
   Okay, back to my updates, so although either way I would have no chance of going to ISKL, my dad wanted me to go for the scholarship selection test anyway just so I could gain some experience. It was pretty cool meeting other scholarship applicants because they were just as enthusiastic as I was! There were people from as far as Seremban and Penang so it was pretty incredible. There was this one chick who took a year off after finishing off her SPM to travel to Argentina which was pretty cool. So as a result this same chick can fluently speak and write in Spanish (man, I wish I could take a year off to travel somewhere, but that would require money.lots of it) There were 2 parts to the test which was English and math. The English was pretty okay because all we had to do was write an essay for one and a half hour. Five topics were given for us to choose and they were pretty broad. The only issue I have with that is hoping that the invigilators would excuse my ugly writing because I was really nervous and sort of in a hurry to finish off the essay in time. But the math test though, that was some scary sh*t. The questions were add maths questions but get this, no formula list was given and calculators weren't allowed. So you can imagine how torturous it was doing those 17 questions especially when there were trigonometric functions.  In my head I was like, "OH GAWD WHAT IS THE VALUE IN DEGREES OF COS 0.875????????"  So as you can see, many rules and formulas that I had tirelessly memorised for my SPM had gone to the gutter on that day. But irregardless, it was a good day and I am happy that I went for it.
  As for my driving classes, not much progress there. I'm probably just gonna change driving schools because this one's a bit too slow but I have to wait for my learner's permit first which I hope can be received by this Friday so I can immediately schedule classes the following week. Everyone be getting their lesen percubaan and I don't want to be left behind! So, the sooner I can get it done the better. Although I've been hearing tons of JPJ test horror stories and I'm not so confident that I can pass it on the first try but with Allah's blessing I hope I do..... :)
