Greetings from Jiaaaaaa...

....
who is now staying in a faraway land...

She's now
sitting at her study table...
drinking chinese tea...
reading The Shack, processing some thoughts...
trying her best to go online, to open facebook, msn, email...
looping the same few songs...
listening to birds chirping and insects singing...
admiring the 'jungle' outside the window...
waiting for time to pass

and yet not wanting it to just slip through
like sand slipping off her hands..

it's all about new sem new room new internet connection

it's time for updates. i shall set aside any jimo-emo-fimo post and talk some nonsense here.
i have shifted. well, actually i didn't see that coming.
and so.. it's something new. perhaps, it's really time to explore something different from my two and a half year routine. to see some new faces and interact with some juniors. *oh yeah...*
final sem.
the subjects i am taking .. neh, not as interesting as the last sem. well, at least i have Human Biology to spice up my life a little bit. Maths Teaching Methods -- darn thing, so giler much work awaiting me. Geografi Perlancongan -- erm, i go there to sit for one hour to daydream to talk talk and daze away. PPP -- maths subject, ahhh... no comment.
my first week of class. whatever.
but i had fun hanging out with people. =)
spent a lot of time playing geo challenge on facebook while i was still in my old room. really. i can sit and play for the whole afternoon, whole night, whole morning. kept on playing until i hit the new scores yesterday morning before i shifted out from there.. and.. haha.. top my chart. so nonsense, right? but why???
it's because once i shifted in to the residential college, the stupid UM wifi connection will take ages to load the page, and that's if i managed to get online. so, i'm now preparing myself to re-enter the times when i had super darn limited access to internet. in other words, i have to re-learn how to survive without internet in my college room. Well, my room is facing the jungle side, so the coverage no good *darn*... and yesterday i can't even have a proper phone conversation in my room with CM. oh my gosh.. *_*
maybe that would help me to spend my time wisely instead of wasting it online playing geo challenge..... maybe i can do things like study more, do more reading since i have soooo many books with me, hang out with friends but not filling it with glib conversations, jog more, etc etc etc.. =p
i guess there will be more excitement coming.. and surprises.
tell me it's a good thing

i want(ed) this and that

there's so much craziness surrounding me.
tell me.. "you'll be fine, jia..."

changes are on the way.
temptations are everywhere.

i want(ed) to settle down with the idea of teaching in government school for the coming years. i want(ed) to do something different, exploring the things which are beyond my imaginations. i want(ed) my coming years to be something more exciting, more than the cycle of work-sleep-lepak. i want(ed) come out from what i thought i should be doing. i want(ed) a simple life. i want(ed) to stop swaying left and right every time people talk about further studies vs teaching in school. can you see my dilemma?

i felt the pain in me every time people talk about posting to schools, furthering their studies, etc etc.


i'm full of arrogance.
and uncertainty
