& your soul is all i ever wanted

24 hour blues -.-lll

yeah....have been having fever for 24 hours...but now it's subsided!!! yay! I finished my Commonwealth Essay entry yesterday at 11pm (wah miracle), if you're interested in reading it, link is below. I didn't want to paste it here, a bit hard to read in my opinion (yesh my blogskin is not perfect)

My Commonwaelth Essay

gosh, just realised I spelt it wrongly on the post >.>
Oh well who cares. Sent the essay to my dad on his request, exerpt of his comments below:

I think that was a fabulous essay you had written. Deep and thought provoking! Quite encomposing which dabble into culture, history and current global trending. This is attributted to your interest in indulging in reading wide and diverse subject matters.

I think you definately need to be in the social sciences like being an economist/finance like the former US Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who was very good in macro monetary management of the US economy and he was very good in his verbal and written articulation, too. Alas, it is unfortunate that you were educated in Malaysia or had you been educated in Singapore or the US in your earlier years with the same grounding that Mi and D had nurtured, you could have achieved more, I believe.

Am posting this here cz I have some interesting comments.... haha....just something to think about for all of you out there? hm....seem to be making quite a few spelling mistakes as I type, sorry-yah, braincells still not feeling recovered from the experience of being sauteed in butter and garlic.

Comment 1: fab essay huh? I wonder if there is a SLIGHT bias....lol! cz there is this little voice nagging at me that I've either NAQed (not answering Question) or that I COULD have written better (given I wrote this with a temperature of 38.2 degrees)

2nd para, first line. Seeeee.....the word "finance" related to my future career agaaaaain...... If i've never mentioned this, my dad is really interested in seeing me take up finance, he says he thinks I will like it... and it's obvious he finds it interesting enough.... haha...and seeing the name Greenspan? after reading a rather unflattering article about his policies in the Economist.....well..... we'll see how the US market economy does in some time to come yeah... haha. (of course I hope it does well...)

2nd para last line. gee. my dad doesn't think highly of the Malaysian education system (obviously). hehe, must point out on a humourous note it was my dad who decided to come back to malaysia, hence me being educated in malaysia...HAHAHAHAHAA.... i had no choice in the matter! (very amused) anyway, after some reflection on sauteed cells, would I really have done better in the States? Would I have nurtured all the Asian values I have today? (I THINK I have a lot of them) In my opinion, Malaysia has contributed a lot to my thought in terms of social relations, cultural diversity, even discrimination. In fact, I believe today that my early childhood in Malaysia has made me into a person who could not exist without this moulding. Of course, Malaysia is DEFINITELY far from perfect (heck I grumble enough about it) but maybe it's the imperfections from which I learnt so much from. (well as far as I have learnt that is, which, given my relatively young-ER age, is not much)

I have imagined what life would be like had I never come back to Malaysia of course. Heck I day dream a lot. lol. Now I'd probably be an urban teen in University, first year perhaps, or in my last year of high school. Might have a string of boyfriends, might not if my mum maintains the Asian mindset... My sister and I would probably wear make-up to school and short skirts and blah if we had given in to the social norms of the schools we attend. OR we could be super "nerds" and not belong to the "hip and happening" society. hahahahaha!!! yeah, that's the (sadly) general perception I have of schools in the US, all thanks to books and Hollywood. hehehe. No experience, so i may be wrong to a large extent, forgive me if I am! but I know i would defintely not be entirely the person I am today.

okay, if I am to attend school tomorrow I have to chiong my work now, and study for that postponed probability test!! potential date of release of A lvl results is next friday, according to school (chem SPA is postponed!! XD) so to all those expecting results, GOOD LUCK!

'I dreamt that I was composing a symphony....I had gone to my table to begin writing it down when I suddenly reflected: "If I write this part I shall let myself be carried on to write the rest. The natural tendency of my mind to expand the material is sure to make it very long...When the symphony is finished I shall be weak enough to allow my copyist to copy it out, and thus immediately incur a debt of 1,000 or 1,200 francs. Once the parts are copied I shall be harassed by the temptation to have the work performed; I shall give a concert in which, as is sure to be the case in these days, the receipts will barely cover half the expenses; I shall lose what I have not got; I shall want the necessaries of life for my poor invalid, and shall have no money for either myself or for my son's keep on board ship!"...I threw down my pen saying, "Bah! I shall have forgotten the symphony tomorrow." But the following night the obstinate symphony again presented itself...'
