Chronological order:
1. First time going to KL to stay on my own, I was friggin' nervous the night before orientation in The One Academy. I freaked out so much that I just texted every living soul I knew that would be awake AND sympathetic, and EileenSpazz was there to save me. She gave me the sweetest, bestest and weirdest advice ever:
Me: I'm SO SCARED. OMG, what if I don't make any friends? What if I go there, and my art is total crap, and these people will draw circles around my sobbing self???
Eileen: Don't worry Yil. You'll do fine. Remember... You're the WAVE.
(Insert Blank Expression Here)
Anyhow, after awhile, she had relatively calmed me down enough, so I could have a fitful sleep and wake up the next morning, feeling absolutely drained. But, I walked to college, repeating the mantra, "You the Wave. Be the Wave." And so, milling into the heavy glassed-door reception area, I nearly fainted again, seeing how many people were there. I found out that I was to line up, get my tags and go upstairs. I told myself, See? You haven't tripped, or done anything stupid, so it's all going to be fine.
And then I realised something. I thought it was. But I wasn't sure. Maybe I was paranoid. But then I checked. And found out that, the whole time I was walking to college, standing in line, looking around at me timidly......
MY ZIPPER WAS DOWN. *BLUSH*2. And then, after getting that tag, I had to go to the narrow corridor which led to the stairs and *ZIP* and *Breathe* and go into the hall, where I was, again, met with further embarrassment.
3. Going back to Penang hasn't saved me from 'exciting' incidents either.
4. Even a post-funeral lunch has me getting into scrapes.
5. Sunday mass in church - OH YES.
6. My First and ONLY accident ever since I started driving.
7. Even Singapore and all its rules couldn't stop me.
8. Weird moments, tension & mix-ups. Sigh.
9. And of course, the latest classic case of Me Being Me.
There are tons more that I haven't even chronicled.... already, this list scares me.
Hmmm.... enjoy people. :)
