In Gombak Again...

The last 5 days were AWESOME!!!

Last Friday, I woke up in the morning and started to pack my things up. I don't know why. Took a cab to LRT Putra station and went to KL Sentral and took another cab to Pekeliling. I bought a ticket to Kuantan. I was listening to mu iPod along the way only to realize when I sat at the bench nearby the ticket counter, an old lady asked me where I was heading to. During that moment, I was thinking hard. Where am I heading to?

Kuantan. I answered. Only then I realized that I was actually going to Kuantan. It doesn't make sense right? What I'm saying is, I unknowingly made myself went to Kuantan. As if it's a place that I can go to without wondering - not even a second, what to do next in order to reach that place.

Like home. Like how I can predict of what's gonna happen every time I'm on trip to home.

Though I stated that I have no reason to stay at Kuantan anymore, now I realize I still have reason to go there...

Went to the mahallah and met up all my beloved friends, replenishing my supply of crazy stories among them, saw few of my classmates in the cafe, exchanged stories and confirmed whatever they heard about me, it felt good.

Since they're in the middle of exams right now, we just ate, sleep, and talked inside the room. I went to KOS for the first time after few months and all I could see were the memories at every corner of the building.

The lecture theaters and classrooms - where I used to have my lectures, WacKOS, where I used to hang out with my friends, the sister's musolla - where I used to pray and sleep in between my lectures, and the Operation Room - where I used to fulfill my duty as the SCIENCESS Special Task's committee for two semesters in a row... and of course the long walk from KOS towards mahallah after my friends done with their revisions...

I missed being here.

Well, so much for the memories!

As I took the bus back to KL, I looked back and waved at my friends who sent me to the terminal. While on the bus, I was thinking...

Is this some kind of a closure? A sign telling me to finally move on with my life?

I think so.

But one thing that I'm pretty sure, that I still have my friends staying in Kuantan. These are the people who are giving me plenty of reasons to come to Kuantan once in a while.

Yeah. I guess so.

Good night, everybody!

A Crossroad?

Not again. I've been thinking about this thing since the day I got my offer letter which was on Friday last week. Well, here's the thing.

Pure Architecture vs. Applied Arts and Design

First let me tell you what happened 1 day before the interview.

A person-in-charge from KAED called me and asked which department I was applying to and to be honest, I haven't actually think about that. All this time I was only thinking about how to get into the faculty which is obviously Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design. Blame me or anything but I seriously haven't decided which department I want to go to.

Even until now...

Let's get back to the phone call. So, of course I need to answer right away, right? Thus, I did.

I answered with "Interior Designing" and the person corrected me with " You mean Applied Arts and Design?" ... "Yes, of course.."

Crap! I didn't even know what does the phone call means.. until the next day.. It means the one who'll be interviewing me is someone from the department that you're applying to.

Why didn't I think of that? But lucky me, I was also being interviewed by 2 Deputy Deans of KAED.

You must've been wondering.. what is it that troubling me right now?

... To be perfectly honest, I think that was a mistake and I only realize that the moment I got the offer letter. I know this is crazy but I'm really being honest over here.

Throughout the interview, I explained why I want to be in KAED and that covered like 80 % of the whole conversation. 10% on why I bailed from Biomedical Science, 5% on my background and another 5% on Interior Designing.

The lecturer from AAD probably right about the part that I actually don't really know what's going on in his department. I don't even know what a Conservation is! I thought it was like the Conservatoire School in Paris! Not like a piano thing but more like Architecture Conservatoire... Of course I'm dead wrong about it...

Back to the moment I got the offer letter.

" you're being offered to Bachelor of Applied Arts and Design.." Crap! All this time I was talking about the Architecture stuffs! Buildings! Bridges! and only a small part of Interior Design...

What I'm gonna do? AAD sounds great! But I kept on thinking and it is obvious that I'm having a second thought about this whole thing.

Therefore, back to the prime issue.

Pure Architecture vs. Applied Arts and Design

HELP!
