No laughing matter

And I mean APR2 (Advanced Diploma in Public Relations Year 2). That very final year before we fly to UK. That's also if that can happen lah. touch wood, touch wood..

From the past few classes, I already thought to myself “hey, this aint easy shite. This serious shite you gota work hard for it weh”. Not even a tiny bit like diploma, not even like last year’s APR1. But then of course, much more relevant to the PR field and I love it! Give me something as trivial as Tamadun, ppft. So far we've met our PR, Advertising, Marketing lecturer who's also guiding us in Advanced PR writing. Really cool how she intimidates me, makes me wanna work harder. Corporate Comm, it'd be super canggih if we all could make it there in the future, but the lecturer? *shudders*. Yeah, rather passionate (inside joke). Psychology for communication? Man, I don't know yet, I just know she was in so much pain lecturing us, watery eyes and dry throat, poor thing. So yeah that's about it for now. Looking forward to learning Crisis Management.

By attending lectures and tutorials are just part and parcel of a budak baik. I believe we have to do our own homework, that is by reading lots and lots of everything. Discovering, experiencing, applying..I don't even know where to start and where to end. There's no limit to improving one's PR knowledge. We have to practically know everydamnthing. And gone case lah me. No concrete knowledge on business, finance and management. Gone.

I know, I know, sounds overly cliché-ed to you. Like I say this every semester, that I have to study really hard bla bla bla..allow me to say that after Internship, every one of us would ultimately mature and we can’t help but be more efficient. Right? With that, not only it's so cruel and competitive out there, we must first compete with our own selves, the ego, the temptation, the want to quit or how Sabina would put it : “Ponteng inclinations”.

I have to talk less on this, and put on more actions to it. Knowing that I have a potential throughout the year part time job, I can’t afford to mess around. Every second counts for me, I need to work out a calendar and have very good plans and backup plans and sigh, fine, let me just tell you that I feel scared. The pressure is on. Best part? Parents aren't supposed to find out. Oh ya, also am contemplating on signing up for 1 year gym membership or not. I really love working out and know that I need to? But can I fork out that money? Life is so spontaneous I don't really know.

Can I make it? To be studying and working at the same time? I believe I can. Because people believe I can.
These are my bitches for life. Sabina and Alvin were always with me through thick and thin, and I only do so well in college because of their everlasting love and support. Thanks guys, for building college memories with me..<3 aaww how cute our diploma graduation photo. fuck, was that like, 1 year ago? I didn't even notice how that time passed. and don't I look particularly different..or it's the hat lah i think.
