Contemplating choices.. and decisions
I think it’s plain pointless that I visit my site everyday (more than once) and yet I don’t update - even when I feel like I want to. Oh well, since right now, there’s no one online that I’m talking to, I might as well spend time blogging.
Today’s the 22nd, well almost the end of the day which means I have about a week and a half till I leave. It’s a little scary really, the thought of it. After all the years being here in Brunei, I’m going back to my hometown. It shouldn’t be that bad right? Considering, I do go back twice a year.. but then again, it still seems foreign for now. It’s a new place, new people, new friends, new routines.. But the key thing that is bugging me is what I’m going to study. I was thinking of just doing SAM (South Australian Matriculation) with Maths and the three Sciences - you know, the safest way so that I’ve got more options? But then again, I have yet to find a science major that actually is of interest to me. I’ve struck medicine, pharmacy (which I must say, I’ve time and time again been asked to take up because of good.. prospects?), accountancy, anything business, and also probably engineering. There isn’t much left really. And I’m more into design but I’m not confident that it’s a safe choice. I don’t have an Art grade, and I haven’t done much hand-drawn art in the past 5 years? Also, I might need a portfolio - actually, I’ll most definitely need one if I enter a design course after college - which I do not have and doubt will be able to come up with one in time anyways. So yes, decisions decisions. I’m looking for something of both actually, like architecture and interior design. They both combine science and art, but building buildings.. I’ve never ever thought of it so, I don’t have that much an interest and no passion for it. Interior design sounds interesting but there’s apparently no market for it around here. I really wished I know what I want to do.
I won’t be seeing my friends for more than two months at least. Actually putting it this way makes it sound like the 2-3 months are just going to come and go. But, I doubt it. There’s going to be a lot of adjusting to do. Almost everyone seems to get a shock when I say that I’m going to be leaving early December; it just sounds so fast, I guess. I actually wanted to get birthday gifts for some of my friends done before I leave but considering, I’ve not thought of what to give till now, I think my plan isn’t going to materialize (sad, I know). I should just get to thinking about it right? And not say I won’t do it? Ah, lack of confidence like always. I’ve got Speech Day on Sunday, and on the day before, the rehearsal. I’m going to watch the Nativity Play on Monday; school’s fun fair on Tuesday - whole day probably; Prom/Senior’s Night on Wednesday; Senior’s Party on Thursday. And then.. that’s still to be planned. I’m going to have to start packing soon too. But right now, I’m just going online, playing Gamehouse games, watching shows/movies - I have yet to go out to the cinemas to watch something, TV, sleep, eat. Totally uninteresting. At least, tomorrow I’m going to go out (finally!).

Mable: Yes, have to make a wise choice alright. But I’ve got to make it fast..
Steven: All the best to you too!
Chien Yee: Haha, the pros of having a blog huh? I shall stalk you from your blog too! ![]()
Destiny: Oh no, it’s college then university THEN only to the workforce - till which, I can wait still. :p
Rilla: Yes, let’s all hope. And yeap you’re right about the date!
Esther: Haha, you should feel special!
Maria: Thanks! Yep, I’m going to miss school. It has, after all been 8 years.
Lol, sorry, are you still going to University after?? I guess that’s why you’ll be back within 2-3 months! But then it’s like starting school all over again.
What’s the scariest part about coming back to your hometown? It still sounds like you’re quite really busy and won’t have time to sit there and do absolutely nothing yet. Hopefully you’ll be relaxing before you know it and then heading back!
Awwww, I’m so going to miss you when you move even though we don’t see each other much but yea, I will miss you a lot!
I’m going to speech day later. see you then (: I’m sure like usual, you’ve tonnes of awards ;D
Jiayeannie, Miss Ang? Please don’t go…
I just want to take this ooportunity to thank you for being a great vice-president. My salutes to you!
To me, it doesn’t matter what I do has a good prospect or not. To hell with it! I just do what I love doing, which honestly, I still don’t know what it is yet. Well, I have 2 years to decide about that and determine my future major. I am taking my time to experiment with subjects I love and see which one I will pursue.
And what’s wrong with people? Like you, people actually predicted I’m going to do medicine and pharmacy, but that is the very last thing on my mind!!!!!! Just because I’m doing Sciences. Sheesh. Anyway, the arts sound interesting. But yeah, the problem will be the portfolio, but I’m sure you can come out with something.
Why do you have to leave so early, so fast? Nooo, don’t go! Man, we will so miss you.
If you must go… well, good luck. All the best to you.
hahahha.. good prospects? i sure hope so. im consideringg pharmacy and chem. eng. plus commerce
but just so i can do law. dauntingg hey, choices.
Thanks for buying me the rub-ons that I wanted. I was actually making something for you today and I’m glad that you didn’t see it. Anyways, I’m free on the 29th, if you can’t make it for the party on that day, then it’s ok. It’s pretty sad that I can’t spend one last day/party with you. Hopefully, you’ll come back for my 18th birthday next year? HEHE… Brunei is not very far away.
See you when I see you. xoxo
I don’t know how I am going to give you, the thing that I made now. I’m leaving tomorrow and there’s no way I can pass it to you now. Unless, I see you at the airport =) Hmmm… what time will you be home today after the senior’s party anyways? Maybe, I’ll drop by your house and pass it to you. That would be much easier. I thought that your party would be today that’s why I didn’t bring it yesterday during prom.
Yikes. I’m home now! And have been since 3. Hmm, I guess airport then?
What time is your flight tomorrow?
