Random updates So, recently I have been addicted to watching sad movies. One great show is The Notebook, I was sobbing at the end. I'm a sucker for sad movies but I still watch it anyways despite feeling sad and miserable later. Another great movie is My sister's keeper but the book is much much sadder. Don't take my word for it, read it but I suggest to watch it first because you will complain that Hollywood likes to change great stories into crappy ones.
Also, the first few weeks in the USA, I actually felt lonely. Not much friends and I mostly hang with people from Japan. Seriously, I feel that I have more Japanese friends than American friends. Every opportunity there is to meet new people, I will take it. Even if I do not enjoy sports and all, I go and social and make the best out of life. I was pretty worried, I keep asking myself, Why I chose a place without much Malaysian? And the answer is to know more American people. It is a slow process but I am getting better at it. Taking one step at a time, I hope to widen my circle. One step would be joining the JSA, getting a job at UM Productions and going to Orientation of USA.
This totally reminded me of my college days in Taylors. The only person from my high school went to ADP while the rest went to A-levels or SAM. Then only did I find out one of my classmate was in ADP as well. I remember leeching them at the beginning, the first semester was the worst. But everything changed when I took speech class, I made friends but then one semester more, they all left to USA. Yup, that is what you get for taking speech early in your college years because people procrastinate and take that class the last. Then came theatre and Grapevine club bringing me to know doremi that bunch and the crazy sampat and lan si queen Rahmah and her minions.
Now, the University life is getting better despite the crazy hectic schedule I have. I feel proud for choosing a University where no Malaysian during my time wanted to go. I feel proud that I do not know more than 5 Malaysians here. I feel proud for not mixing with only Malaysians but I still stick with Asians because we have something in common. Hopefully this will change as I get to know more people through time and great classes. However, I find one thing I miss that is people to layan my stupidity and crazyness. Rahmah and Aqilah not there to criticize me haha. Fiona and Audrey them all not there to laugh when I tell lame jokes or do something stupid. Finally, most of you know I am slow at sarcasm so yes, I believe every word they say. I cannot differentiate the truth from American sarcasm. Still remember Miss Anna asking me if I wanted her to buy the glue and I said thanks a lot. That was sarcasm?
PS: Mum now added me in skype, msn and facebook. Cannot runaway from her. Not that I don't want to talk to you, I just don't feel like it. I'm not your other son. I don't do leceh stuff.
