toenail polish reminded me of the smell of the girls' dorm at school. recently, smells and tastes and places i had forgotten made me very nostalgic.

dilemma dilemma, as cristal perfectly describes.
btw, thanks for calling, it was very sweet of you dear.


so last night my parents had a long conversation secretly, talking about my uni options. mom really wants me to stay&study in london. she reckons its a big opportunity, her famous phrase; "why not do it now while we are still able to support you?" (in indo of course, and at least once in every two days without fail, and this has started even long before tee commenced) and so today, we checked out the other universities in London which relates to fashion business/marketing something around that faculty. and, i have to show you this (below). i am so proud of myself, by doing this the night before, i have not only save up taxi fares, but also precious sight seeing time in London.


cmon, you have to at least give me some credit for this. kampung girl know that google map existed, and she even knew how to use it.

anyway, so i have narrowed it down to two universities;
london college of fashion
instituto marangoni

first one has courses which are more specific, such as buying&merchandising or marketing&design or marketing&promotion and others. and it is more well known in asian countries. but the second one, the only course that i was interested in is fashion business. so in a sense, it is much broader. and marangoni is apparently famous in europe, one of the most well known one, and it has three branches, milano, paris and london. the three locations does the exact same courses, and the teaching system is the same in all campuses except in milan its in italian, in paris its in french. but anyway, i can move from one city to the other at the end of each year without any additional cost or exams, its just that duh of course i have to take up the language.

so that's the two that im interested in and the london college of fashion starts in september while marangoni starts in october. frankly speaking, im more interested in the second one, i like the campus more too, its more unique and different. so today at tea, mom& i talked about it. she is also very happy for me to go in marangoni, basically to study in london itself. and she told me to settle the applications first and stay here for like a week or so, then go back to indo to work with my dad, cos he's renovating an old store, and they reckon i should open my own line, like my brother did. anyway, so everyone was quite happy with the idea in the afternoon.

however by night, i talked to dad again on the phone;
me: so now, i dont have to apply in curtin already right? ill tell koko

dad: *silent

me: no, really? what do you want me to do?

dad: just stay there for few weeks then come back to indo

me: but you told me this morning to look at the schools?

dad: yeah okay, but just go apply the one in curtin and just go start uni there first

me: but what do i do? do i enroll here?

dad: yeah

me: what happens if i get accepted?

dad: then we'll see

me: but wouldnt it be wasting money? for enrollment itself is quite pricey

dad: then go get refund back from curtin when you wanna go back to london

me: no such thing.

dad: just go curtin, finish uni, take diploma blah blah then go to london, continue studying there for three more years

me: no, seriously. then why you tell me to look at schools in london thennnnn.. tell me your final thought on this uni thing

dad: up to you


ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. seriously, sometimes its so annoying when you have parents like mine. what am i suppose to do? if i choose A he'll say why not B? then if i choose B, he'll go, but why B, why not try A? ARGGGGGGGGHHHHH. i am really so freaking annoyed with this shit its not funny.

for me personally, do i prefer london or perth?

again. perth is just so comfortable and everything is so settled. and the company is a major factor too! but yes i do wanna study here, cos the course sounds more interesting and frankly speaking, even the uni look more appealing to me. BUT, i am 50-50 and therefore i let my parents decided since they are the one who support me financially. BUT, its not like they're giving me the help that i need. and also curtin starts vy vy vy soon and i know i need to enroll vy vy soon too! argggggggggggggggghhhhh!

i am so pissed and annoyed and this is the time that i need cristal to have a vroy getaway. or this is the time that id call yulyn and complain to her about everything and eventhough it will result to nothing ill feel so much better aft talking to her. or even syazeera salleh. paris, ive realized that few years back we will bitch behind each others back when one of us call up at night, crying over stupid opposite sex. but this year, when we've got closer, we will be the one who's looking out for one another, calling to ask if anything's up instead of waiting for the phone to ring! haha.




and oh yah! today we also saw "sound of music" the musical:) its like a must to see musicals in london! and since mom likes sound of music (actually, its the only one which shes familiarized with), we decided to watch it. we bought the 35 pounds seat, but the guy gave us the 55 pounds seat cos i thought him how to say thankyou, goodnight and see you again in indo! musical itself was vy vy good but everytime i get along with the tune, it reminds me of the school production last year:( and seriously (not just saying it for the sake of it), everytime i go to this sort of new places, i always think about you guys and im always like ":(:(:( i really wish you guys can fly here cos i wanna show you these great places":(:(:(

missss youu
