Just some random ramblings

*tick*tack*tick*tack*

I’m now in my office watching the seconds goes by; students coming in, and going out; my collegue verociously typing his college assignment which is due tomorrow; my boss trying to hit on a lecturer.

*tick*tack*tick*tack*

This time around, a year ago, I will still be in my office, in Public Bank; typing hundreds of letters asking people to settle their loan arrears; wondering where my future lies; rushing to my part time job after office hours; clocking in as much hours as I can to save up money to start college. 

This time around, two years ago, I was in Outward Bound Lumut for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards; I have just stepped down from my Presidency in the Interact Club in my school; still undecided whether to go for my dream career, forensics; or my first love, law.

Fast forward to present day.

The reception area is quiet now, as opposed to half and hour ago. Classes have started for the students. I know, I know; I should be doing my work, not blogging. Hey, when you pay peanuts, you get peanuts. But I give you grade-A peanuts, mind you. In between blogging, I managed to update the LCCI students record, receive payments, issue receipts, take in calls, stick notices, do the time table and bug some students to pay up their fees. Multitasking is my forte. It was, and it still is; thank goodness.

Sometimes, I wish I don’t have to work while studying. I wish I could have more time for myself, like my friends and college mates do. I wish I could join them in UCSI yesterday to cheer for the futsal team who finished runners-up (congrats, guys). I wish I could at least my my little presence felt; no matter how little it was in the “Walk for Justice” in Putrajaya yesterday. 

Nine months into my degree programme; the whole process of reading law was not really what many people would have foreseen. It was neither fun nor exciting; but in truth,  plain boring at times. It is when you apply the law to your daily lives, trying to be more practical in law, and that is when the fun comes in. Well, maybe passive learning is just not my cup of tea. I love doing presentations, projects, speaking, assignments (crazy, yeah). I find it more fun than just sitting there and listening to lecturers.

I listen and I’ll forget; I see and I’ll remember; I do and I’ll learn. Kinesthetic-learner I am. Should have spotted it earlier. When I was younger, I was a naughty girl who can’t keep my hands to myself, often taking apart my brothers’ stuffs. I will use every available papers around me for origamis. I was never the one to sit still for long (unless mum and dad’s there, of course). I speak more than I listen. I draw charts; and my favourite subject in school was Bahasa Melayu because that was the subject where I get to write so many stories; and I wrote so many out of the world stories; aliens, encounter with ghosts, meeting Backstreet Boys, falling off the sky, working with Sherlock Holmes; and the list is endless.

No…. not sound effect. But just my ring tone.

Ehem. HOOOORAAAY!!! I just received a call from a Rotarian from RC Ampang! We just got our sponsors! (can you see me doing the salsa dance, now?).  I’m hyper, I’m excited. I don’t even know if I can sleep tonight. I see lights in front of me; no… not the one dead people sees. But ray of hope.

My life is just getting more and more exciting. HAH! Watch this space….
