Chapters of My Life

Life...

2010-10-21T20:48:00.000-07:00

College life is getting tense. The weather is getting colder and colder. I don't like it here. I hate New York. I hate the people here. I hate everything here. Sometimes, I think to myself why is life so unfair to me. But, sometimes I felt that i'm a lot luckier compare to many people. I should be grateful. Life is hard but no matter what we need to move on. Right? I'm trying each and every day to live happily. Faking a smile, a laugh isn't easy...

Busyyy!!

2010-09-21T17:25:00.000-07:00

Hey there! :) Been soooo soooo busy these days. College sucks! But, it's still fun sometimes. hehe. I have been spending 2 days on my blogging assignment. ==" I feel like blogging but I don't have anything to blog. Well, I might as well share my blogging assignment here. :)

here is the prompt :

Post #1 - DUE SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 AT 5PM

The theme for this year's PERFORMING DIASPORAS: IDENTITIES IN MOTION Project is "Who Do You Think You Are?"
Reflect on the following four questions, and craft a response of 400-500 words. Feel free to integrate media into your post!

Tell us who you think YOU are
Share your top 3 concerns about your freshmen year at Baruch College and explain why
So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?
How do you think your first year at College will change you?

and.. here is what i wrote :

I am a freshman at Baruch College this Fall 2010. Like any other freshman, I’m going to college with the hope of getting good grades and gaining knowledge that will help us to success in the future. Being a freshman in college is not as easy as I imagined. Everything is so different from high school especially if you are not graduated from high school in the states. But, I believe I can work things out and hopefully everything will go along smoothly.

The top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are grades, time management and my personality. Firstly, grades are really important to me. Especially during the freshman year. I believe that if I don’t have a good foundation or base, I won’t go any higher. The freshman year is like the base of a building. In order to build a tall and steady building, we need a strong base. I’m not sure about my major yet , but since I’m in Baruch College which is famous for its business school, I might as well consider something to do with business. The required GPA to enter the Zicklin School of Business is high. Therefore, I must work very hard on my grades in order to be accepted. Second, I’m not good in time management. Back then at home, I have my parents to manage everything for me. I never think about what should I do first or do later. Now, I have to manage my own time. My life is really a mess during the first week of the Fall semester. I’m working and studying at the same time. At first, its hard to cope with the crazy schedule I had in my daily life. But then, it got better now.Third, I’m a really shy and quiet person. I find it hard to communicate with people around me. Speaking to a stranger and in the crowd are my biggest fear in life. I knew that this will create an obstacle for me from being a part of the society especially if I wanted to major something to do with business. I hope my experience in Baruch College would change me completely into an outgoing with high self-esteem person.

Experience in Baruch College is obviously different from high school. There is a huge difference for me between high school and college since I graduated high school in Malaysia. People here speaks perfect English. Although my first language is English but, I have no confidence speaking in English in the states. In high school, the number of people is not that many but in college, there are a lot of people around the campus. Since I’m a shy person, I find it uncomfortable to be in such crowd.

I hope the first year in Baruch College would change me into a more independent, well organized and outgoing person. Hopefully by joining clubs will give me courage to face my biggest fear in life.

College is cool!

2010-09-04T22:29:00.000-07:00

College life is fun! Its totally different from high school. The class that I enjoy the most is english, theater and anthropology. Political science makes me so sleepy. Its kind of like history. Assignments haven't really start yet but I felt the pressure already. I don't know whether can I survive through this semester.

I felt like going back to Malaysia suddenly. Its like IMMEDIATELY! I don't know. Maybe i'm homesick. People here are different from Malaysia. Back in Malaysia, I have cool friends, cool family, and... whatever belongs to me is cool. haha. I miss Malaysia.

I told 99 truths before. But, I decided to tell one lie since everyone doesn't believe me when I'm telling the truth. Everyone believes me when I lie. People loves to lives in denial and world full of lies. why? I feel so unsecure. I feel unsafe. I feel anytime whatever belongs to me will disappear. I'm scared that people might cheat on me.

What's wrong with me???

Its long weekend! Come on Mary Ann! Cheer up!

Be strong, independent & optimistic Mary Ann Lee!

2010-02-22T18:24:00.000-08:00

I realise it's time for me to be strong mentally.
I realise it's time for me to be independent and not relying too much on people.
I realise it's time for me to be as optimistic as before.
I realise I should be as cheerful as before and smile more.

Life is too short to be unhappy all the time.
Nothing that can't be solve by Mary Ann Lee.
Nothing is impossible for Mary Ann Lee.
Nothing will bring Mary Ann Lee down easily.

It's time for me to grow up and think for myself.
Make decision for myself and plan for myself.

Do you think I can?

Happy CNY and Valentine's Day!

2010-02-13T20:57:00.000-08:00

I have been very busy these few weeks.
And ya, I'm not going to college this semester.
Time passes too fast. I'm scared.

It's 2010 already.
I'm actually relieved that I didn't go to college this semester.
Oh well, lets don't talk about this.

It's Chinese New Year!! And, Valentine's Day.
I don't have the CNY feeling at all. I wonder why.
I felt homesick. I feel like going back to Malaysia.

This few days I kept reviewing back things happened in 2009.
Time passes too fast.
Experience at Syncoates, SPM result, came to New York, work in the campaign
and the list goes on.
All of this seems like it just happened.
May 2009 i came to New York with nothing but a heavy heart and a sad face.
after 2 weeks of enduring the homesick feelings and boredom,
I went to a place called Yen Chou Campaign office to work.
I start with being a petitioner. It's a great experience although it's tiring due to too much of walking.
After a week, I work in the office. I go to Board of Elections everyday.
Goes to work early and back at late night.
Weird to say, I'm not tired at all. My main purpose during that period is to get Ms.Chou elected no matter what.
Since then, campaign office is my second home and also my life.
We worked very hard for the primary election. It ws competitive.
Our time, energy paid off when Ms.Chou won the primary election.
At that moment, I felt that kind of happiness is priceless.
And then the general election.
It seems easy but, unfortunately Ms.Chou did not won.
It was heartbreaking and I felt very disappointed.
For a while, I can't accept the fact.

Finally Baruch College accepted me.
I was so happy. Everyone said it was a miracle.

But then, for some reason, i'm not going for this semester.
It wasn't that bad tho.
What Hank said was right. I agreed.

During this period, I learnt alot in life and about human relation.
Money speaks louder than words.
I got to agree with this.

This experience i gained, it's priceless.
I appreciate it and thank you! ♥
