Periodic Interviews and stuff
I know people will think I am weird for blogging so much so often. But i have lots of time on my hands now to catch up with the things I wanted to do when I didn’t have time. I just want to keep a record of the things I’ve been doing so far, so here is a periodic dairy of some of my life’s events.
14th April 2007
My first interview for a scholarship. I got short-listed for The Star newspaper’s education fund. It was for the Institute of Advertising, Communication Training (IACT). I was so silently excited but thankful calm at the same time. Getting the scholarship would not mean I will attend the institute. IACT were offering 6 fully paid scholarships. Making the long story short, I think I did fairly well that day although receiving only a half scholarship. They couldn’t even offer that for my chosen course. In that case, it looked like Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman has become a huge prospect. Partial scholarship, partial disappointment.
21st April 2007
Hari Anugerah Cemerlang in my former secondary school. I was celebrated! Haha! Receiving RM50 was worth the effort of the slightly dreaded approach to school. But it wasn’t enough for the effort put in to study for SPM. I was still happy though. Seeing familiar faces doesn’t always seem bad :p Proof that I’m quite introverted.
26th April 2007
Another interview through The Star for PJ College of Art and Design (PJCAD). This time I was more relaxed, but ever more hopeful. Taking public transportation with my dad alone is really rare, and we did it that day just for kicks and fun. The interview went even greater than before but my chances of getting the full scholaship is smaller. They were giving out only ONE fully paid. There were 3 candidates, all girls *sweat*. According to the sweet CEO, I had more of a 50/50 chance, but the other girl’s father was a lorry driver or something :p And again, I got a half scholarship although they intentionally wasn’t giving that out. Heartbreaking.
IACT was offering lower fees for the graphic designing course compared to PJCAD; so it was finally either UTAR, or IACT. Bummer. Hard as it may be, I stood tough and understood my parents. I took a nap that day, feeling almost down in the dumps and when I woke up, my mum bursts into my room skipping, saying "Mr. Liew (PJCAD’s CEO) is offering to lower the fees to what IACT is offering!!" Wheee! God works in funny ways..
NOTE: No bribery was included :p nor any sugar-coated mouth sweet talking. Nope. Just pure good intentions. Thanks mom 
I hope this inspires you to dream.. because with best intentions, passion, hopes, dreams and prayer, you WILL succeed.
28th and 29th April 2007
‘No Apologies’ seminar was held. Here, I chose to abstain from SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE!! hahaha.. I was sure that’ll catch your attention. If you’re a doofus, you’ll lose your virginity too early in life. yuppp.. dooooOOofus. Wanna debate with me? Sure, I challenge you. Leave me a message on Friendster, fire me, fo’sure I’ll get back to you hahaha..abstain..abstain..abstain……
1st May 2007
Got my ridiculously expensive Puma watch! and bought a ridiculous amount of clothes to last me for a nice, good long time. On this day I also realised how materialistic I CAN become 
and realised that I’m moving from the Kid to Older Kid stage in life. People are treating me better. whoo..
