I've always thought that choosing the right course would be the only annoying part in setting up a foundation for your future.

Clearly, I was dead wrong.

About a few weeks ago, I've made up my mind that I wanted to do Accounting. STPM was totally out of the question. I have no confidence in it and just the thought of going back to school is uninspiring enough as it is.

Therefore the next (cheaper) option would be pursuing a diploma in UiTM. Tough luck, I was not chosen. Then I half heartedly filled in my "e-rayuan" not hoping for anything.

Later, my dad wanted me to do CAT at Sunway University College. A bit pricey, but its a professional course and is recognized worldwide. The catch would be, you have to be really really good in order to finish your ACCA in 2 years time or else you'll be stuck for god knows how long. The more times you fail, the more you have to pay. In pounds, mind you.

So, I thought, what the heck, I'll just mug my ass off.

Then suddenly I received an offer letter last week from Tenaga Nasional University to do Foundation in Accounting. Everyone thought this was a great opportunity. Tenaga Nasional is one of the biggest company in Malaysia. The accounting degree in this university is recognized by the MIA. Do well enough, they'll give you a job right after you graduate at the company. All sounds great and dandy, until I found out that the university's foundation course is only recognized at that university and nowhere else. Meaning you can't pursue your degree elsewhere. This sucks because UNITEN is in Pahang. Like in the depth of Pahang. If I were to study there, I would have to spend 5 years in Pahang.

No effing way.

So I told my dad about this and he said I won't have any other choice then to do my CAT at Sunway. We were back to square one. Then, just last night I had a dream that I was going nowhere with my CAT exams. I was failing like mad. I was scared shitless. I got up and was like "I don't think I would be able to do CAT." Then I quickly logged on my computer to check the status of my "e-rayuan." I have no idea how, but I managed to get a place at UiTM's Larkin Campus in Johor Bahru for Diploma in Accounting. I guess I was a tad bit relieved.

Now, we'll just see what happens.

Although, the only thing thats bothering me is if I were to be away for a couple of months without any internet connection, would my email be terminated? Hmm...

Isn't it sad that youths these days care more about about their Facebook rather then where they would be in 10 years time.

Anywho, if I am going to Johor, then I would most probably miss the Olympics.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I WAITED FOUR YEARS FOR THE DAMN OLYMPICS!!!!!

I would also miss Jared Leto hosting the MTV Asia Awards in Genting.

FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I WAIT--err I never really waited but ITS FREAKIN JARED LETO!!!!!!!!

Ahh well, education is important. Jared Leto is equally important too but I'll secretly stalk him right after I finish this whole thingamajigg.

Oh oh and one more thing. To all you three and a half readers out there, please please do NOT listen to "The Cab." Its a band not a...car. But anyway, yes, stay away from them. They're mine. I don't want them to be famous because then they'll turn out to be like Panic! At The Disco.

Ooh, I'm sorry, its Panic At The Disco..without the "!". My bad, boys.

I know, its selfish and a tad stupid (since I've already told you the name of the band and you're itching to google them) but they're so good and so unknown at this part of the world. It would be devastating having 13 years olds humming to "One of THOSE Nights." Such a good song that one.

A reminder for the kids out there, leave this band alone and I shall refrain from stabbing Joe Jonas and Miley Cyrus.

So err...do they have wireless in Johor?

The reason I did not update last week was because of all the Thomas/Uber cup action on tv. As for the 5029 weeks before that, well, there are some things in life that can't be answered. But I am here now, filling you in on the latest.

First off, I haven't registered to any colleges or local varsities as of yet. Worse comes to worse, I might just go to some college and do Accounting.

Accounting? What the hell? I thought you hate math.

Well I do, but something happened. I woke up one day, undecided, then I woke up the next day, I wanted to do Accounting. Call me crazy, but its weird because I felt like I have thought this through even though I haven't. You get what I mean?

Anyway, went out to KLCC with Nadrah yesterday. My dad's birthday is coming up and I had no idea what to get him. What does a 48 year old man, who likes to make fun of his daughter and has a soft spot for Engelbert Humperdick likes?

A book, thats what I thought.

Asked mom and she said maybe perfumes would be good. I had to stifle my laughter because I have this silly perception that perfume as presents is a subtle way of saying you stink. When she said perfumes I instantly thought of The Body Shop. It doesn't burn your pockets that much and it smells nice. But nooooo, apparently dad wears Polo Sports and nothing below that. Let me tell you, I wear clothes from the thrift shop, buy three get one free sort of thing. My dad on the other hand, has a collection of Hush Puppies underwear.

I guess I shouldn't argue, its his money. Once I'm old enough, I'll have my own Hush Puppies underwear collection and would most definitely show it off for my kids to get jealous.

Anyway, when we got there they had this huge promotion thingy for Hugo Boss latest fragrance. One of the girls wearing blue, introduced herself as Amy literally dragged me to the booth and started promoting. She was talking real fast and was very convincing. I don't usually like being told what to buy but she was likeable. So I bought the damn Hugo Boss perfume and my pockets have never been lighter.

But for dad's sake, and the fact that he has to go through all that pain of being reminded how old he's getting, I don't mind one bit.

After that, we watched Indiana Jones and The Silver Skull....I think.Why does that sound so much like the previous Fantactic Four title? I forgot the complete title but it was Indiana Jones. It was suprisingly entertaining. Harrison Ford is still smexy and you could actually believe him winning a fight against a Russian comrad. Shia Labaeoiouf (I put all the vowels in just in case) is funny as always. But despite all that, the best part was the caramel popcorn. I love cinema popcorns. Yum..

That is all for now. Quite short for my standard but my standard has been deteriorating recently. Hopefully, I'll come back in full force.
