I've been using Blogdrive faithfully for two years now. All my bittersweet memories, heartache and pain, rage and anger, happy and joyful moments were recorded here. Reading back my old entries, I realised I changed a lot, and now I'm going to take that change to the next level.

From today onwards, I'll be using Wordpress to blog.

So people, update your links! It'll still be the same old me though - The girl who talks too much and forever exaggerating her own stories.

More exaggerated tales coming up at http://annayong.wordpress.com/!

What I did on my last night in college:

- Went late for class and spent the last 45 minutes talking with my friend.
- Withdraw. And announced to the whole wide world that I've withdrawn from college.
- Skipped class. Yet again =p
- Treated myself to a nice cup of cappacino bubble tea
- Downloaded all the movies I could in 4 hours and burn them all into a DVD (That's just about the best thing about the internet here. Having DC++. Imagine downloading 1 song in 3 seconds, 1 album in 3 minutes. 1 movie in 5 minutes. Everything else about my college internet connection.. Sucky)
- Wasted RM3 on my college's charity semi-musical drama! But what the heck, at least I spent good time (Being critiques) with my friends = )
- Hung out at my college's cyber cafe for 2 hours 30 minutes. First time being so naughty!!

That's about it. Nothing special about today.

But I enjoyed the time I've had here at Inti. I learned so much.. Experienced so much. And at 6.30pm today, I'm going to leave my college with a grand exit at my college prom.

And it's not only Inti I'm leaving. I want to leave behind some dusty old skeletons hiding in the back of my life's closet. I want to clean up those cobwebs that has been in my life long enough.

I want to start fresh; anew.

You'll see.. Tomorrow.

No spamming please.

PS, and by spamming I mean forwarded emails, etc.

"It has be freezing to snow
It has to be burning to glow
It has to be willing and ready to know
It has to be able to grow
Don't say 'I love you' too soon
Late nights holding hands and staring at the moon
On romantic nights, your feelings can lie
So don't say 'I love you' too soon"

Love is a commitment.

Loving someone means that you will always be there for him or her - For better or for worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow..

It is not easy to love.

Because love is not a happy story; nor a fairytale.

Because the best love stories are filled with hurt, tears, sadness, bitterness, and scars.

But, they Always end well.

"For God so Loved the world
that he gave His one and only son
that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish
but have everlasting life"

Don't say 'I love you' too soon.

What will you say when He asks, "Do you love me?"

How would you feel if you spent two hours to work on an assignment. Then you tried to save it. But then..

POOF!

It's gone.

Microsoft's stupid auto-save didn't work.

It's gone, alright.

Just imagine how much time you've wasted straining your eyes till the left one is bigger than the right, neglecting sleep because you've got other assignments and tests to study for as well, sitting on your big fat ass for Two Whole Hours non-stop!

How would you feel?

You'd feel like killing yourself.

Just like me.

I've been spending a lot of money recently.

Is it my fault Giordano, The Body Shop and Gloryland Bookshop came to my college with Huge "UP TO 70% OFF!" signs?

Is it my fault that my college cyber cafe sells such yummy bubble tea?

Nope. Not my fault! =P

I almost decided to not go to US anymore today.

My mother called this afternoon informing me that there were no flight tickets available for me to return to US if I come back this December. That means, the next time I come back, it'll be May 2007.

No way.

Then she continued to add that the tickets were super expensive. Way much more than she expected. So my parents can only afford to pay for me to come back home once a year.

I was So devastated.

Either way, I'll only be able to everyone again once a year, then wait a whole 12 more months before I can come back home again.

But then a miracle happened! They got me a flight ticket for me to come back this December! So I'll be home for Christmas..

To cut the whole story short. I've decided to find a way no matter what to come back during my first Summer holidays which will be around May next year. I'll miss home too much.. Maybe I'll stay back in 2008. But for now.. Pray for me, so I can come back.

Okay?

* * * * *

I really should be studying now.

Ish.

PS, Please, please please pray for a miracle in my Bio test tomorrow. And my Calculas test on Friday.

I guess I've been avoiding my own blog for some time.

Many things have happened, but I'm not sure whether I want to talk about it.

For now, let me just give you some good news, and some bad news.

Let's start with the bad news.

I lost my camera. Again. Yes, I know. My camera's not even half a year old. I just.. Burst out in tears when I thought of how stupidly careless I was for the second time. I may not have mentioned it before, but I really love my camera. Or actually.. I really love the memories I've taken in with my camera. I spent the whole of RBS capturing unforgetable moments with my camera.. And now it's gone. It's all gone.

My parents said they're not angry at me. Just disappointed that I've not learnt to be more careful with my stuff. It's just weird you know.. I've never lost my wallet, or keys, or handphone, or handbag, or one of those more important stuff. But I lost my camera - Twice!

They said they'll buy me a new camera. And I guess some of you might be saying things like, 'Wah lao, just lost her camera and there she goes.. Buying a brand new one".

I wouldn't be getting a new camera if I weren't leaving for USA this August. And that's the good news. Or maybe bad news. I don't know.

My SAT results were released online last week. I'm not going to reveal them here, I don't feel very comfortable with that. But let's just say that they're good enough to get me scholarships for both the Universities in USA that I applied for. The University of Ozarks offered me a $13,000 scholarship, so even though it's only my second choice, I guess I'll be one of their students studying there starting this August.

I didn't want to leave at first, but I've thought about it. I think it's best for me to go.. To start a whole new life over in the States. And when I come back, I can start all over in Malaysia again too. Some of my friends expressed their feelings of not wanting me to go, but I know that there're some others who'll be smiling when I leave. Oh well, like I said, I don't know.

All I know is this - I'll be gone for four years. What's going to happen over there? What's going to happen when I come back? Will I even come back?

Time will tell.

These are actual answering machine answers recorded and verified by the world famous: International Institute of Answering Machine Answers.

I doubt it. But..

Want to try one?

"My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished."

Narrator's voice: "There Richard sits, reading a magazine. Suddenly the telephone rings! The bathroom explodes into veritable maelstrom of toilet paper, with Dale in the middle of it, his arms windmilling at incredible speeds! Will he make it in time? Alas no, his valiant effort is in vain. The bell hath sounded. Thou must leave a message."

"Hi. Now you say something."

"Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep."

"Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?"

"He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave message, I call you soon. If you leave sexy message, I call sooner!"

"Hello, this is Sally's microwave. Her answering machine just eloped with her tape deck, so I'm stuck with taking her calls. Say, if you want anything cooked while you leave your message, just hold it up to the phone."

"Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you."

"This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call."

"Hi. I am probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."

"Who are you and what do you want?"

This is going to be fun!

Next time before you install any programs or softwares, take some time to read the Dedication Public License (DPL). You may stumble across some interesting stuff.. Like this!

First of all, the reasons why Spybot-S&D is free:

I. Dedication:
Spybot-S&D is dedicated to the most wonderful girl on earth = )

II. Binary
What do you get if you buy software? Lots of ones and zeroes, nothing more. If they were distributed as art, I could understand paying it. But if the main goal of their order is to earn money - By fees or adds - I don't like it!

III. Conclusion
This means that I grant you the license to use Spybot-S&D as much as you like. But if you like it, I ask two things of you: Say a prayer for me [And the most wonderful girl while you're at it ; )] to your God - Or whatever you believe - And wish us some luck.

Aww.. Ain't he sweet?
