Another Turning Point

         Today is 19th June 2012, meaning that 170 days of holiday had slipped away, and leaving only 10 days before I go to KL for my A-Level studies. I had already gathered all m belongings and packed them away into my luggage. So, there's nothing left to do now accept waiting for the day to come. My current feeling now is a blend of expectations and excitement for this new environment and at the same time, worries combined with fears for the unknown future that awaits me there. I really don't know whether to embrace this feeling or just ignore it. But still, I tried my best to spend my remaining time in SP preciously by allocating more of my time with my family and friends and doing what I like. I made sure that I spend every day in a meaningful way while waiting for my next step in education. As I stand by for the future and glanced towards the past, I cannot help feeling that my life has gone through a drastic transformation ever since I graduated from secondary school.

            During these past few months, I had completely released my brain from digesting academic stuff. The rust of laziness inhabited my brain, causing my writing and calculation skills to be weakened. For your information, I had not written any proper essays ever since the SPM examination. It's sad to admit that I now struggle to compose this blog post. :( However, I had replaced the habit of reading through academic text with many other habits and experiences.

             As I rewind back the tape to six months before, I suddenly realized that I had actually done many things during these past six months. I became a volunteer in the Adventist Hospital, notably one of my richest experiences and among the greatest things that I had ever done in these 18 years. Another greatest thing that I had ever done is learning how to play guitar. Although I am still a beginner and there is still more to learn, but I knew deep in my heart that I had improved a lot. I could now play songs that I like with ease. This major breakthrough came from my never ending practices and the self-motivation that I had developed. 

               I also adopted many new habits, as well as hobbies. I now started to become more aware of news and current issues happening around the country and the world. I exercise regularly at least thrice a week whether swimming or training in the gym. I self-meditated every day. I hanged out with friends and relatives once a while. I continued to read motivational books and novels daily. I got my motorcycle and driving license. I even became my parent's maid, handling all the household chores, (which is what I refuse to do before) and became my brother's tuition teacher. 

             I had done so many things except going for a part time work, in which I think was the only thing that I regretted for not doing over the past few months. Nonetheless, I felt that I had really changed much over these few months. It's very rewarding to think about it and I am ultimately grateful of it. I really looked forward on a busy, but fun-packed and enjoyable college life that will be my next destiny and turning point in this amazing life!
