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..... :)

Sexy food pics! ( the double breakfast edition)
So as the title suggests, here are the things I ate today after getting my braces updated and yes I had it twice ( the breakfast that is...)
First breakfast: caesar salad+lemonade at kaffa espresso bar in damansara utama
Second breakfast: ham and cheese sandwich + hot lemon tea at wheatfield near bangsar.

So I would like to conclude from today's post is that I am a hobbit and since I am one it's only natural for me to have 2 breakfasts per day :)

french the llama
Okay, I haven't been blogging about for quite some time and I know I planned to give a full review on tuesdays with morrie but I'm not going to mainly because it's been weeks since I've finished that book and I have since moved on to another book and about to finish it very soon (The Fault In Our Stars by John Green). So far I like it and there were those moments where I really wanted to know what came next (PLOT TWISTS!!!! Oh my!!!!) but not exactly to the point where I felt like finishing it all under one day (I've been subjected to slow reading remember?). Okay so recent updates:
1. I had successfully passed my computer test within the first round (44/50) Alhamdulillah
2. I have yet to go for my 6 hour theory/practical driving course so I am eligible for a learner's permit.
3.So no, I have not started any full official driving lessons yet at the school.
4. But you know who has? (and has successfully obtained a trial permit i.e Lesen memandu Percubaan (P) ) ..........................Aiman, that's right.........
5. Got into the whole Nerdfighteria movement (check vlogbrothers on Youtube to know what it's all about)
6.bought a John Green book ( and thoroughly loving it)
7. Woke up extremely early to renew passport and had to wait a really long time to just register for one (and accidentally missing our turn which eventually made my mum go hysterical that resulted in her shamelessly crying and pleading to the person in charge of the whole registering thing to let us register, spoilers; she lets us through).
8. Sort of got into an irrational craze after finding out Kylie Jenner from Keeping Up with The Kardashians belongs to a group of elite (and very wealthy) teenagers called the MSFTS(what?) that was started by the one and only Jaden Smith (Will Smith's child and of course, the latest Karate Kid)
9. Realising that with this obsession that I have nothing else to do with my life.
10. oh, and apparently based on instagram observations, Kylie and Jaden are sort of dating (what am I doing with my time?)
11. Realising that I should get a job real soon to support my book buying hobby.
12. Tried to find jobs that doesn't require me to leave the house.
13. Applied for the ISKL scholarship and (hopefully) going to their IB diploma info night this coming tuesday.
So yeah, that's about it. There's no maid in my house so my mum's been constantly bugging me about my chores (laundry, bed cleaning, cat litter cleaning etc.) and reminding me that I lack of certain home skills which greatly upsets her.So I haven't been the happiest person these past few weeks.
I'm sort of at a lost right now when it comes to career options and college because I thought after having it all figured out, someone gives their opinion and experience based on that certain field you want to pursue that completely antagonises the whole idea of it? I'm confusing you so I'll explain further, a few weeks back I went to go eat at this fancy restaurant with le relatives to celebrate a beloved aunt's birthday. So in attendance were of course her children, my parents, my grandparents, my aunt's mother in-law and sister in-law. This sister in-law (whom I greatly admire and respect) is a certified PhD professor in the whole medical microbiology expertise and was promoted to Vice Chancellor at USIM (Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia). So yeah, as you can tell she's a pretty big deal. So my parents being the people that they are decided to ask her more about USIM in hopes that they can get some kind of special tuition discount since I am her (not so distant)second niece -_-(turns out I can't because they only let students enter USIM if they are completely fluent in Arab). This eventually led to a conversation of my future prospects which according to her depending on what sort of path I might end up taking will either be very dim or financially and mentally tiring. She suggested that I look into other options which made me slightly emotional due to all the confusion. Furthermore, having your grandmother there constantly reminding you about (distant) relatives that either end up struggling or unemployed due to the fact that they chosen the wrong degree or didn't put that much thought into choosing a proper major in the first place doesn't help either. May I remind you that these relatives that she constantly talks about are the ones that I have no knowledge of which scares me even more. So if by making certain mistakes when choosing a degree, I will not only run into the risk of unemployment but I will also end up being a morale story (of warning) told by some other distant grandaunt or something to their own grandchildren hoping that they wouldn't make the mistake that I might end up making. So......................................... pressure's on!!! YAY!!!

My Name is Lizzie Bennet - Ep: 1
Ladies and gentlemen, the first episode of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries !
New book! Yay!
Although I haven't really finished Tuesdays with morrie yet, but I decided to get myself a new book anyway because it was under rm10, so yeay for cheap novels!
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries!!
Okay, so for the past few hours I've been watching this thing on Youtube called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and it is addictive like my gawd! So basically as all of you (who actually read) knows, Lizzie or Elizabeth Bennet is the main protagonist of the famous Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice which eventually spawned into a series of adapted films (*coughs*Keira Knightley!*coughs* aishwarya rai*coughs*) television shows (*coughs*Colin Colin Firth*coughs*), plays and even novels! So basically The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a different kind of adaptation where it is set in the world of vlogging!
So basically Lizzie explains her life through a series of video blogs and would sometimes have other supporting characters that were adapted from the novel appear in them. I'm on episode 54 and no I have not watched the video with Mr. Darcy yet.But I gotta say Bing Lee is quite the catch... mmmhhhmmm, Jane Bennet you lucky lady...... So to those of you who are die hard Pride and Prejudice fans (Athira) and to those of you who don't have anything else to do lately except scour over the internet(*coughs*Aqilah*coughs*......... gosh I'm feeling throaty today aren't I?) I suggest that you guys go check it out!
P.S
I'll probably just post the 1st episode because I'm probably sure people who read this are too lazy to check it out on Youtube themselves.....
