FIRST DAY OF THE NEW YEAR. (Huh, I'm 18 this year!) <--- w00t!
I'm so excited for 2010. It marks like the first step towards actually growing up... at least, to me. Because, I've been waiting for forever for college ever since I've read stuff from Sweet Valley when I was like 9.
Okay, so I doubt college's going to be anything like all the books with all the fraternities and sorority parties and activities and stuff; considering where I'm going is a JUNIOR COLLEGE of which is practically just an extension of secondary school. Since we have uniform and rules of all sorts and all. =/// BUT. It's still college, and regulations and stuff should slacken (they must!) and although A levels will probably be the toughest exam I will ever sit for in my entire life (says mum and dad), I should be optimistic towards the upcoming year!
Iknowwehavetogetbackourresultsandallbutstill!
And I finally decided I'll be doing halfies for A levels. (if MOE permits. ; _ ;) Like half Arts and Science; because according to parental opinion; it seems that it'd be impossible for me to switch to Science if I did Arts in A Levels, should I want to in future. Anyway, my Sciences aren't half bad, so I don't really mind - as long as I don't have to take Physics.
I'm still thinking of doing law but my dad kept telling me how he thinks that a lawyer's job sucks and that he has never met a lawyer happy with his job. Of course, he stressed; "in Malaysia." True, it's because of how unscrupulous and unethical Malaysian courts are and how they are so easily manipulated by money and political power. As such, most lawyers face pointless trials, everchanging "laws" and a history of corruption and self-destruction.
Thing is, I've never really wanted to work in Malaysia. Yes, I love KL and everyone in it - but to actually live here... not really. Still, it's aeons away, and something I really don't want to contemplate at present moment. (anyway, parents have been heavily hinting of several countries with good job prospects already)
Also, law is just a tentative choice, considering I know that lots of people are planning to dabble in it; and I really don't want to face so much competition in the job market. (lazy!)
Btw, did everyone know that Malaysia is one of the few countries that refuse 18 year olds voting rights? I didn't. I totally thought it was commonly practised around the world. (I know Singapore's 21 as well) But my dad said that it's because the government believes that adults of that age are still antiestablishment, and that would threaten their position; considering how youths make a huge percentage of the population.
I think my dad is a walking encyclopedia. Serious, when I read that in WWI, during Christmas Eve, the English and the Germans actually stopped war momentarily and exchanged ciggarettes as christmas gifts and told him he was like "Yeah, I read an article about it," and started spouting off facts. =.=
Anyway, I think it's totally time for me to a more responsible person. I mean, it was kinda overboard for me to still play computer games during Os. And I'm like ancient already, so I should start acting slightly more mature soon...
Soon.... ....
Oh, btw; I still find it amusing when someone tells me they've been stuck in a jam from 2009 to 2010. >_<
