Still pushing on the pulling door

Flashbacks

For the past 7 months, I've become a student pursuing my BA (HONS) in Graphic Design. I'm now in my Foundation Semester 2, studying in Limkokwing Borneo, Kuching campus located at Jalan Nanas, Green Road. It was a pretty though decision to be made.

I was a science student back in my secondary school days, though my science subjects were never good. However, in every typical government school, students who really wants to study will fight for death in their PMR to get their name list in the science stream. They say, studying in a art class is every student's heaven, but every teacher's nightmare. Realistically, majority of the paikias, samsengs, ah bengs, and etc etc study in art stream so teachers only happen to have an impression of art stream - bad students. So they hardly got lessons in class. At least, that's a fact back in my school. (If you were an art student, don't feel bad about it. I didn't mean every school operates the same way, but most school does.)

I wasn't a pure science student back then, I didn't take Biology cause I wasn't that smart. I took Prinsip Perakaunan (Principal of Accounting) instead. I was never a fan of that subject until I attended a tuition class at Pusat Tuisyen Cepat Jaya. The teacher, Mr. Tan was amazing and I fell in love with that subject. Shortly about half a year during form 4, I became a pro. Seriously, my school accounting teacher likes me because I never pay attention during his lesson. That's funny, but why?

Cause he wasn't that good .

I graduated my form 5 with a not-so-good SPM result. My science subject sucks, even my history and moral was better. I only did well for my language subjects, history and moral, maths and principal of accounting. My path to college? Accounting? By then, it was the only available choice in mind.

But I was sick of numbers and calculations.

Never that I thought I'll put myself through the world of art until I visited Limkokwing during their open day. I started studying there since August 2009. The funny thing was that, there were only 5 Foundation students, and the rest of the 50+ students are all diplomas. We studied the same thing throughout the whole semester one, the same classroom, the same bunch of friends, same bunch of lecturers but different course that it. It's complicated, it was hell lots of complications even after semester 2 started.

Semester 1 in Graphic Design was fun. Seriously, i mean it... FUN! Early semester was just me and a friend Gaowu, cause we weren't that socialize to others. We are so close that even people believed that we're actually cousins when we both claimed to be. Can you imagine that? Soon after our integrated project started, we joined a big gang - Desmond, Natasha, Phei Sze, Derrick and Lilian. Kee Yuan later joined as well. (Pardon my lengthy introduction.)

We became really close, not all of us but most of us. I'd honestly say. We spent our time going McD, worked on our assignments at my place, played and laughed, and went out for activities for more than half a semester. Our friendship strengthened, and it feels great having these bunch of friends around.

Until one point in semester 2, where the Degree-thing and the Diploma-thing got in our way. Until that point then I remember I am in Foundation and they're in Diploma. By next semester, that's about few months later. That we'll be separated and I am kind of affected by the fact of that because it means goodbye. I certainly hope that won't be the case and all of us will hang on together till the very end of the course. However, the fact is the fact. To one point, it's goodbye either earlier or later.

Oh well, sometimes shit happens.

By the way, Happy April Fool everyone.
