The Climb

"I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming BUT..."

Yes, there is always a 'but' in our lives. That's obstacles. I find it hard to sleep lately as I'm getting closer to realizing my dream - stepping into America. A lot of questions keep popping in my head - many times I try to tell myself its gonna be okay, there come another question: Am I gonna survive? Financially? Academically? Am I doing the right thing?

There's nothing much I can do now. I shall continue what I have started off - keep climbing and I might see the view I was looking for eventually. Wish me lots of lucks in that. Do check in some times after to see if I make it.

Confession of a Shopaholic

Yes.. if you know me close enough, you will know that I'm a shopaholic. It's not that I'm addicted to shopping, but there are few things that I can't resist when I"m supposedly window shopping:

1) Discount
Believe it or not, this works most of the time. It doesn't matter if its a 10% or 70% sales, because it gives me one good reason to buy something I don't need, simply because its cheaper and I'm saving by spending less. HAHA. When I get home only to realize, I can save more by not spending at all.

2) Buy one get another one for free/ 50% on 2nd piece
Just another way to attract my attention when shopping. Are you kidding me? We knew this trick since forever - like 3? One lollipop for 20 cent and 3 for 50 cent. Still we fall again and again because we thought its worthy. In my case, I will keep telling myself I'm buying the 2nd piece to have myself more choices of colors for the same pattern. (autohypnosis)

3) Brands
Don't judge me - yet. I'm not Gucci or Prada when its about shopping. I mean, they are still out of my league. It's embarrassed to admit but I have sharp eyes when it comes to quality of the material (given the history of me in clothing).

4) Fitting
With the height of mine, its hard to find clothes that can fit me well. (Unless they have XS for men.) Therefore, when I can find something that fits me well, I might not think twice purchasing. (failed again)

5) Limited Edition
That means only a few people owned the same thing. It becomes special, precious, unusual, not common, cool.. etc etc.. So that explained the latest purchase:

I was supposed to "have a look" at the Adidas limited edition Star Wars collection shoes

I tried it on, it fits me well, but I told myself I can't afford it. Yes, I did. Then they have something else for me.

6) Membership Card
WTF! Its like the promoter can read my mind! That is one fucking killing factor that affects all my judgements when it comes to shopping. So she offered me a membership card with the purchase of RMXX and above. Damn! How can I say no!? I tried again and again on the shoes, I ended up dropping it off and walked away from the store bought another pair of shoes that looks better on me. Epically failed! So this are the pair of shoes I fell for. Sigh. With the membership of course.



Overspent again. Sigh.

Inception

I've been anticipating this movie ever since I knew about the production. I mean, let's face it, its Christopher Nolan. (Who doesn't?!) Fortunately, I was able to get myself 2 passes for the movie premiere tonight. I brought mama along because she said she's interested (kononnya) when she saw the big poster at the Dewan Pustaka junction.

So we arrived early for the show, fearing we can't get good seats.trust me, I know As I just renewed my membership last month, I didn't notice there was a mistake in my membership card and the workers mistook me as an 'expired' member. They asked me to renew my card if I wanted to get the tickets. Freaked out as I would, I was worried that they won't allow me to enter the cinema. ThankGod the workers were kind enough to let us in and deal with the issue later (tomorrow).

*fastforward* (Spoiler ahead!)

Then there was Leonardo, lying on the beach, getting slammed by some waves and waking him up..and the story went on with..OK, I don't wanna spoil that movie, all I can say is, its about dreams. Go and wiki about dream and almost everything you have there can be related to the movie. Hence, go and watch yourself and come back to comment here! I'm dying to have someone to chat about with.

Big shoutout to Joseph Gordon-Levitt + Marion Cottilard + Ellen Page: Great job and I love you!

Taking Off

Little do you all know, I just got my acceptance letter from the Academy of Art University San Francisco. Surprise surprise! Even myself didn't expect this is actually happening.. My mum used to tell me I'm not gonna leave because I would never come back if I could. I thought the same too. But, things changed I guessed.

As time flies, its only two months away from leaving here. I'm already begun to miss the people here. People that I get to see all the day. They said with today's technology, its not hard to keep in touch with each other. I doubt so. Sigh.

Am I gonna survived out there without my family?

Its Mid-May Already

I should have started to prepare for my future... and I'm still sitting here..
