I think life as a movie. And I am the main character of my movie. Same goes as you are the main character of your own movie. In movies- some realistic, some not, have background music. However in real life, there is no such thing as background music, no such thing as a miracle you can get whatever you want, a perfect life, a perfect movie. But I know for sure that in life, we are the ones who make choices. No scripts and all. That’s the thing about life you see, the freedom to do and choose whatever you want.

I wouldn’t really say I have a great experience and I am wiser now since I have been studying approximately three months in college now. I’ve been away from my family and I have got the chance to learn the true meaning of friends. I have learned the types of people in life and I have learned whom I should be with and whom I should not be with. I also wouldn’t say that this few months was spectacular, but I am glad and thankful that I had the chance to learn a few things on life. For instance, I know now that even sometimes people are friends with you just because of what you have and what they want from you. They’re not real friends; that is.

I have also learned that everyone is different. I have met different lecturers, from they way they taught and they way they approach their students. Some lecturers are very old fashion while some tried hard to fit in with teenagers like us. But no matter how different and how bad I think someone is, everyone has their good sides, and that is just the thing that I need to know about them.

It’s amazing how three months could open up my eyes to things like this and made me realize than my life before this was only a small phase. All the thing that I’ve been through has made me become a much stronger person and I thank God for that. I thank God of how close I am to Him now. That I am now able to thank Him for the love and everything He gave me.

You see, my life is my own movie. I believe that I want to make this movie something that I would love to watch. One day, I am going to make my parents proud and learn more stuff that I do not even know now.

Thought expressing.

Before I start ranting about the reasons some online shops don’t deserve to be in business and praises, I would like you (yes, you, the one who’s reading this, whoever you are) to excuse my frankness and forthrightness. These are my personal opinions and experiences, if you think of the opposite of what I wrote, you can stop reading this post (might as well just exit my blog page). However, I strongly believe that being straightforward is the only way my opinions can be heard.

Recently, I purchased xxxx on and online store at Instagram. Let’s just say their store name is ccshop (not even close to the name of the store). I was really excited because I bought heck of a lot of xxxx at ccshop. FYI, in my opinion what matters most too online store is customer service. They lack of expertise (sorry to say). I can’t deny that some shops are great at dealing with customers but some are just plain terrible.

To continue, this so-claimed-rich-kid-who-owns-the-store (ccshop), was the one dealing with customers and etc. She/he replied to all of her/his customer’s whatsapp and whatsoever. I mean I get it, to have your phone ringing all the time is just….gaahh annoying. But these are customers we’re talking about. If you don’t think you can handle that sort of pressure, why even start an online shop without proper management?

I thought of posting a screen grab but I can’t because that would just reveal the real identity of the oh-so-famous-shop. Since I am a nice kitty kat, I won’t J

So, here a piece of thought to all those self-claimed-successful chicks/hunks who wants to start an online business. Customer service is important. One report from the customer to the world, you’ll lose all your money on that god damn lack of expertise of yours in dealing with customers especially people like me who are perfectionists.

Maybe you could even re-consider of having 2 phones; 1. For personal use, 2. For business use. See? It’s not that hard. Just a simple mind juicing could help you and your business.

Or even if phone is too expensive, e-mail anyone?

And oh, I’m soooooooooooo not buying from that store anymore >,<

and in at that moment......

what may looks like as if I was fastening my buttons on my graduation dress, I was actually thinking of a few thoughts... I knew in that moment that this was it. My very last year of a self-explanatory building full of immature kids and teachers. I can't believe I made it to the end. All my life (since standard 1, actually) I've always wanted to ditch and give school bye bye. But since I've graduated and finished a chapter of my life... I feel like I want to relive those moments..

When you’re in school, your biggest problems are deadlines for school work and getting the grades you are expected to get. Not to mention the social pressure. You feel as though there is no outside world, that school is it. That your problems are so huge, you fail to realise the current affairs going on on the outside world. The bigger picture.

This is a message to the kids who are still in secondary.

Skip classes, and run around.
Take your time eating your lunch, take as long as you need.
Take the longer way when going to the to the toilet.
When your school holds those events where you are not involved in and you just sit in class like a doodoo head. Climb the gates and get out. Go anywhere else.
Term exams aren’t that important. Finals are.
Question the teachers, always ask lots of questions. Keep asking why. (Then you’ll know they’re humans too, and they don’t know everything
Find your group of friends, even if it’s 1 person. You need a back up to survive.Don’t bully, or get bullied. Stand up for yourself.
Don’t do anything you don’t want to.Just because you don’t get the best grades, doesn’t mean you’re not smart.
Do fall in love. Don’t get pregnant. Don’t trust teachers. NEVER. He/She is not that important. You are. Whatever you do. DO NOT GET CAUGHT.

I find that secondary school is the time of your life to rebel. You’re not going to get second chances in the real world. You are in your own world; You are allowed to be oblivious. You are given second chances, third, even fourth. Endless. You are there to make mistakes.

Now, graduated and moving on. I learnt more than what was printed in textbooks, and assigned in homework. School taught me the sense of individuality. It taught me to be my own person, and flow against the current. It showed me how to define myself rather than letting others define me. I educated myself, and painted my own picture. And I’m leaving with the best memories of my life.

And I thank my schools for that.

Alhamdulillah
