place where Jessica craps and rants
Hi folks. Has been quite a long time since i write, guess what, my laptop is not fixed yet, still have to install and download some things to make it complete like before. During these days without my laptop, i devoted my 24 hours to sleeping and things other than surfing internet. In the end, i caught some allergies for one week and a minor fever! Haha. Ironic.
Well, i am starting to think over bout my life, about things i missed before. Guess I’m quite happy with my life now, first and foremost is that i have a super happy family, i have wonderful parents, sisters, brothers and a very cute nephew who makes me happy all the time, then i have everything i want, even my profession is fixed, i don’t have any financial problems, i have the chance to pursue studies in an European country, i have friends who stand by me (as far as i know), its like, there is nothing for me to worry about. Everything is like, fixed. Nevertheless, i still feel that something is still missing. I feel, lonely.
Be given as an example, most of the time, when i am at the hostel, in my room, i spend most of my time studying, sleeping, watching dvds, surfing the net and do whatever i can; alone. Where as my friends, they lunch together, they dine together, the study together, they watch dvds together, its like they do everything together. And me, I’d always stay alone, which i think i prefer to, as i don’t really adore being in a super havoc situation. I’m not racist, mind you, and I’m not choosy. I’m just a typical type of human being who actually demands for something which i love, to do something that i know i like to do. And my course mates, they are not my type of people. We are friends, but we don’t cling to each other. But they are nice, a group of super nice people that everyone would like to get near with. I tried a few times to be with them, and as i try and try, i would say that it doesn’t work. We just don’t get along that well, we don’t really have the connection to each other. We are friends, coursemate and classmate. But, sorry to say, we can’t seem to mix, as in mix like we’re good friends who can count on each other to live on. I miss my previous life, where i hang out with my old friends. I miss the precious time with the one i used to be so close to.
However, being in a new environment is not that bad after all. Especially when i come to live in a ’so civilized’ town like KL. Being in this new place, i learned a lot, and the most important thing is that i gained so much experience. It is obviously different from Penang, which i spent 17 years living under my beloved family’s supervision, everything was done by them, even from breakfast to supper was prepared by them. But here, i find myself so eerily pathetic, whereby i still can’t manage my things properly. Given time for dinner, but i would still be doing something else like sleeping, bathing, surfing the net, and whatever else. What is happening to me..
And these days, i had been freaking sensitive. Take some examples in the class. I am not a hardworking student, but i believe in ‘paying more attention in class is better than keeping up ourself so late at night to study’. And i really hold tight to it because being a linguistic student, it is very boring to study the same thing every time. Plus, i do my assignments during night time and if i continue to study during that hours, i will surely be tired and exhausted. I am not lazy. Don’t say that i can use my time after classes to study. I usually go out for swimming and basketball during the evening so do not complain that i waste my time doing nothing. En plus, the time is mine, not yours!
Ok lets just get back to the point. Lately i got the results for my previous test, and i passed the test. And i passed with 75,5 marks, which i myself is contented with what i get. Just say what ever you want to say, yes, it is not a high note but at least it is more than what i targeted. I might not be the top scorer like the previous tests, but that doesn’t mean that i didn’t progress. Guess what, i did progress ok? And i got 24/25 for 1 of the paper which is the writing paper, and i didn’t expect that. … Why am i that pissed? Because, my tutor, Miss Teh, she said something that really hurt me much. “Don’t be satisfied with high marks”, “Work in groups! Share your knowledge! Don’t bodoh sombong!!”
Why are you keeping pointing at me? Look at my results, i did well, and my marks are progressing. They are not going down. But what is the reason of me always being the one pointed, the one taken as a bad example? She might not say words straight towards me, but she did something indirectly, that i can understand that she was trying to mention me in her speeches. Yes i admit that i played a lot, but look at my marks! I didn’t score 50 or 60. My marks are all above 70! And being in a language course for almost a year only, it isn’t easy to keep it up. It isn’t easy to face the lecturer’s critics and to give a neutral visage for it.
Ok, stop about that lecturer’s thingy. Now that i am more concern in getting myself more connected to the world. Its dreadful to know that people actually judges you from your appearance, not your competences. So shall i dress up like a doll so that you people will think that I’m nice, or shall i dress like Beyonce so that you guys will say I’m cool? Oh junks.
I’m missing some one right now. Again. But this person is a friend of mine, used to be close at times. Our relationship is like a season, for once, we can be so close, and the week after all i listen from that special person is silence. I don’t understand. It is so, not consistent?
Whatever it takes, i will still try to discover my life here in this so call urban ville.
With the help of the people here too, i guess..
yes, i agreed with u
in language course 4 a year n half is not so easy
there are a lot of obstacles,
that we must face it..
yes, especially languages that are not our mother tongue, for example Deutch n French!! =(
Anyway Fakhrul, goodluck in Deutchland!! =D
hey jessica.. well done with such excellent academic achievement.. it aint easy.. and i know that really well after 5 years struggling with it.. and gud luck for more exams and tests in the future… im sure u can manage that..
well… nice entry u got here, talking about life. i always find this kind of topic as very interesting as you wouldnt find one fixed answer for the same problem that people are having. different people will perceive their situation differently, altho the situation is almost the same with one another. thus, the way they handle their situations also differs.
u said u want to get connected with the world aite…? i used to be like u really. during my first few months in IPBA, i rarely spent time together with my coursemates. They might have thought that im such a selfish and kera sumbang tpe of guy.. but in reality. i am not that kind of person.. it just that i wasnt that gud with my communication skills. i didnt know what to talk about, afraid that i might hurt people’s feelings. so i chose to distance myself with them.
but after a few months, i started to build up the level of communication skills needed for me to communicate with people… and i started to spend time more with them. i find my life became more interesting and more meaningful. we shared and we learned a lot from each other. and now i’ve been blessed with a lot of friends around me…
well, it’s all depends on u Jess.. if u want to get connected to the world. u shud plug urself onto the network first. make an effort to get to know more and more people, and dont rely on the virtual world too much.. spend more time to enjoy ur life in a reality world. and please, dont change urself too much. u dont have to change ur appearances to make people notice u.. eventually, people will notice u if u r worth to be noticed. think about that…
Hey there noblemien..
I am so glad to have someone who can understand and share. And thanks so much for dropping by my blog. Yes, i totally agree with u, but there are a few things that i like to add. I finally realize that i actually have friends (my coursemates) who are super duper nice, and always willing to help whenever i’m down. And when they read this post, they came to me and ask whether i’m ok or not. I would like so much to give credits to both my friends, Ayn n Mashita. When i come to think about it again, it is really true when u said that it all depends on me. Yea, i am the one who choose not to mix where as they welcome me with wide hands open. And yes, i’m like u, i am now blessed with 2 wonderful friends around me.
Nah, i’m not changing myself. Its just that i’m tired of encountering this kind of person. (obviously because i had some cases with them! haha. =p)
Thanks again Noblemien, your comments really mean alot to me.
totally agreed with noblemien ( who is noblemien nway???dunno la plak..hee)
jess,let me tell u sumthin..we’re all ur friends..friends and corsemates/classmates are diiiiferent ok..share your world with us,n u’ll see that the world is not that lonely.the more u give and share, the more u get..believe me..
n dont get too bothered bout miss teh..for me, she just wanted to remind us, not to criticize, so that we dont take thing so easy n stop working..of course u have the right to think whatever u want to..but, think positif is the best way la kan??(for me la)..
bebelan berhenti di sini ye..hehe..
Hye Ayn!
Yes, we are all friends, and friends and coursemates are totally different. And thanks to u Ayn, for giving such a positive remarks for me.. Truly cherish it.. =D
owh forgot to comment about miss teh.. well, she’s not worth to make ur days miserable… she’s such a stuck-up snob spinster (hope she’s not reading this).. her hormones are always infatuate! u can never guess her mood. sometimes she can be so nice to u, but sometimes, she’s like those hungry ghosts… bite and suck you when she has the chance to do it… lucky she didnt teach me at all.. hehe
or else, i might end up like u .. whenever u have problem with her, just call her “teh tak laku dah tumpah”, u wud surely laugh ur butt off!!
try that ok…
yes…
and I remember that we would always joke that Miss Teh was a really hot chick when she was younger & she had multiple simultaneous sexual relationships with all the best men!
hahaha~~
My tip is to just treat her just as a lecturer & no more…
for she treats you as a student & no more…
About friends, I know what you mean…
I have hungout with people I do not click with before…
It’s not anybody’s fault…
We are very much agreeable with each other…
It’s just that deep inside we dont spark each other…
Something makes it hard for us to be ‘close’.
I have dated women who I cannot click with too.
I guess from my experience…
It takes time & a positive attitude.
I have met many people who I cannot click with but I have never given up meeting new people.
After meeting hundreds of nice people who I cannot click with…
I am able to find a handful that really clicks & I do not stop there.
Looking back, my journey/search was totally worth it…
One day, you will find your handful.
Hey Noblemien..
Gosh, what happened till u guys have that kind of ideas? Funny!! =P
She’s not that bad actually, maybe she’s just too concern about her student’s achievements but she just don’t know how to show it? But sometimes, she sounded really mean actually! haha.. ;p
Hey there Ah^Kam_Koko..
Thanks for dropping by. Everybody has their own experiences that are similar to one another. N I’m glad i found some who doesn’t hesitate to share..
Well, hoping that one day i’ll be able to find them!
And good thing is that if we can still give chances to those who want to be with us. Although in the end he/she might not cling to us..
So, good luck in our journeys then!
