美国加州留学记

认识我的人都知道
在美国读书上学的我   已经两年了
很多人都想知道这里生活如何   不是不愿意分享
只是没有那么多时间上网   因为生活节奏太繁忙了


今天就来 po 关于在这里生活的小点滴吧!


两年前, 刚到美国时
天天笑逐颜开
以前看好莱坞电影很渴望有朝一日到国外读书
从未想过自己能这么年轻  就能到远方求学
哈哈 我猜上辈子做了很多好事  才能修到今世的果

当然,亲戚和朋友送机时 , 朋友写给我的离别信
看了非常感动(原来这么多人爱我 T。T)
我没有在机场哭因为我爱面子  上了飞机心里还是感到无比地难过 偷偷流眼泪
有一股不想来这里的感觉  很不舍得每一个人
但所谓  世上没有不散的宴席
安慰自己做人看开点就好  美国这片土地不是每个人想来就能来  要珍惜


下机后 看到风景 很喜欢
这里真的比马来西亚干净 空气又新鲜!


住在家里几天后,没有去那里
只好呆在家里  看看书  玩玩电脑
朋友离很远   但我们常常用视讯通话


很快的 到了期待已久的八月份  终于是开学的时候
我在这里(图下)上高中
第一天站在学校门口
第一个想到就是这间学校很美和大  觉得好像上college
自己一个人很紧张  不知道会面临怎样的困难

学校门口



妈咪那时候还没能驾车  爸爸送我去学校就载妈咪回家
惶惶不安  一个人踏进学校就看到很多奇奇怪怪的学生
美国不用穿uniform  所以那些人穿的很暴露!
尤其是女孩子  吊带衣 短裙 高跟鞋
you name it, they wear it.
全部好像来做 fashion show 似的
也有人到处在学校内和自己男友/女友 KISS
就像电影里
觉得新奇 在马来西亚看不到 哈哈哈(现在习惯了)


然后看了看有怎样学生  我就去报名了
学校很大  很容易就走失  不知道在那报名
被迫在还没很厉害讲英语是问人就是了
那个人就叫我排队等报名  我以为全部人在第一天才报名 原来。。
人家夏天老早报名  第一天就能上课

我被安排在老师工作室等我的 counselor 帮我选班
怎知道坐着等了4个小时没有人睬我  他们也很忙帮学生安排schedule
还好当时有一位男同学跟我讲话  虽然听不懂他讲的话
至今还是很谢谢那人陪我  不然真的会吓死
过了一会儿后,我很急尿 又不想被人抢我的位子 只好憋着
又等了一个小时  学生都快要放学都还没轮到我呢!

气死我  脑子没想这么多 只想回家叫我的爸爸帮我搞定
可是那时又没有电话  也不懂如何搭巴士
自己就得利用双脚走路回家因为我记得路途没有很远
第一次 很担心会被人拿去卖

回到家时  看到妈咪 ,我心里顿时觉得放心了
妈咪被我吓呆了 心想我这么有胆量 自己走路回家
可是我实在是没法子了
我跟她讲发生的事  她安抚我事情会有好转 第二天会去找老师
虽然是将 可我还是很担心 于是上楼在房间有哭一点点
觉得这地方很陌生  很疑惑
为什么学校的老师不理我


第二天 我的counselor 看到我就立刻叫我进她的房间
我不喜欢她 好像以为我们很好欺负
可是还是谢谢她帮我处理好和安排好课程

我第一年在这里的课拿:English1, Biology, Math(Geometry), Health Science, Physical Education and FashionTechniques
第二年的班分别有:English2, Chemistry, Algebra2, Physical Education2, Spanish, WorldHistory

刚开始的一个星期很不适应  还是很人生地与面不熟
哈哈 可是我记得第一个班我认识了
愿意跟我讲话的女生 Jessica, Jasmine and Joseline
很开心 ^__^

下课时 要去不同的班 不像马来西亚 天天都呆在一样的班或人
这样有利于弊
好事因为我可以认识跟多朋友  也可以走路当运动因为学校很大
不好是因为要很清楚知道班在哪  不然迟到老师会惩罚

Lunch 初初没有朋友  不久后认识到Nancy
她跟我说她看到我一个人很可怜  就决定跟我做朋友了
很感谢她这么好人

老师一开始很严 可是认识久后发现他们全部绝大部分都很友善
也很喜欢教书
即使老师不在  也有助理帮忙代班
没有像malaysia老师 天天在办公室偷懒  =。=


你们一定以为这里功课很少 每天能休息 然后什么不做就能拿到好成绩?
No No No...
这里几乎每一天都有功课 老师第二天就要
你做的功课虽然分数不能完全帮到你在班拿到好成绩  可是它占据了你很大的percentage
没交功课的人 老师会随时打电话给家长
所以吃不了这种苦的人别来美国念书  去英国因为那里很少功课(我朋友和表妹讲的)

正因为我不要人家瞧不起我  以为从外国来的不会讲英文就不能拿A
我第一年时 老师称赞我的英语好 推荐我去跟高级的班念
之后跟一个台湾老师用英语交谈,  他也说他没料到我是国外来的 要我继续加油


结果我很喜欢在这里读书,这里的班很有趣 不想再马来西亚死死的~
也知道如果我少时不努力 老大一定会徒悲伤
知道只要读得好 我可以拿奖学金  去更好的学校
便发奋图强拼命的读书
有时是很累  一天睡不了很长时间 需要喝咖啡提神(几乎一两点睡,六点起来)
经过很艰苦的努力  拿到优越成绩 在全班全校脱颖而出时
所有的一切一切都是值得的!!


尤其是今年  我的数学班很难
刚开始我只有A-  B+
可是因为我开始注重在这个课目 放学后不断找老师帮我
年尾竟然给我拿到A!

有一次为了在考试里拿一百分  我熬夜不睡一天
第二天还得跑1.6 km 差点累死(以后发誓为健康着想,不会将做了)



全部班去年和今年的都得到 straight A's了 :')

2014年的成绩


个人认为听起来很恐怖hor  可是我相信
在这里班上学到的东西是一辈子在马来西亚不会学到
比如:思考能力变好,表达能力有进步,会因为好奇而学习
反而言之 我比较喜欢在这里念书!!

还有就是我喜欢每天晚上都能听到和看到烟火因为家很靠近 Disneyland!!

最近又得准备上学的东西  今年据说压力会比去年惨
可是我答应自己不要给自己太大压力
顺其自然  有努力过就好

还在读书们的朋友就好好加油了 愿我们都能在未来成功..

Dear self, Happy 17th Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday - a pretty simple yet decent birthday!




How do I feel? I feel okay, really can't say it was the best but it certainly did not disappoint me at all.

After staying here in the states for exactly 2 years now, I really like celebrating birthday only with my family. Mainly because if I were to stay longer in m'sia, I can guarantee that I'd be as fat as a hippopotamus. In case you don't know, people love me. They bought me cakes (I used to get 3 to 4 cakes at times) or took me out for dinner. Sounds crazy but it's true!

No words are able to describe how blessed I was and still am BUT I felt extremely guilty the following day for consuming so many foods. I ate a lot and you won't even believe it. This happens because I don't waste food. The faces of African or any third-world country kids would appear in my mind, constantly remind me that I shouldn't waste any food I can get.

Ladies and gentleman, that's a bad thing. These thoughts make you eat everything you have which eventually cause you to become fatter and fatter.

Because I seem to notice a pattern. If a person hates eating, they are usually skinnier. Like my sister, the list of things she likes to eat can be counted within your 10 fingers (I'm not exaggerating). So my advice is, start hating food and you'll be skinny. Haha


Nahh, stop the mumbling. . .

Today, this blogspost is dedicated to show you what people who I really care wished me on my birthday.  Though, I don't value your wish as much if you only write two words like: ''Happy Birthday'', or either I don't know you or kinda know you, I love reading all of them because it makes me feel worthy. No matter when I re-read it, each and everyone of them, your words are still precious and priceless to me! Thank you peeps 




I guess I will start of with my sister, Michelle, she wrote the longest and most meaningful one. So sweet of her!

Yes, please be jealous, because you don't have a sister who writes so well, who has such a fantastic literary skill at this young.

*click on these pictures if they're too small!












Next, Leslie! I was so surprised when she texted me two days before my birthday.
No, it's not that she had forgotten the right date. There was one time in school, during English class, and we were allowed to talk because we finished our work. She asked for my birth date and I decided to tell her a wrong one (technically, two days before my actual birth date) because I thought she wouldn't have remembered anyway. However, she did remember!!







Here comes Scha, sweetest old friend. It's ridiculous to think she'd remember my big day because we don't really talk now, regrettably. She is the kind of friend who listens when I have a problem and helps dry the tears! Without doubt, I will never forget those pleasant moments we had together. If you happen to read this, I miss you and I hope we could talk more frequently sweety!!

Ignore my ugly nerdy glasses look, I love this picture a lot!!

Waking up to this was just amazing. .







Then we have, my favorite friend, Adeline :D

Despite feeling sort of down and unhappy when I realized you've forgotten my birthday(she wished A week earlier, LOL), I still consider you as my best friend okay! How can I forget the fun we've had, laughing and mocking others till our face turned red during our skype session! HAHA

MOST OF ALL, understanding my humor, talking of things we find funny, while people think we're insane, if only they knew. Thanks again for being there when I needed the most; for being such a great friend and being here with me through it all.  Love you.









Recently, this soh poh values her guy friends more. But I don't care, because she is my other half and I bet guys who like her know so little about her - if they were to compare to me. Suck for them. haha

One of my friends was telling me that she has changed a lot, in a good way of course. I'm glad to hear that, good to know that she's no longer shy, reserved and is more willing to talk.

If ever there is no tomorrow, there's something I need to tell you. You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be there for you. We've been friend since I was 9 and I know our friendship will last above and beyond, hopefully!






This was written perfectly too. And, this person doesn't need public attention, it's the last thing a shy recluse would want.








I love Keshin. First of all, she is very artistic because she is the top 10 of among all of the Malaysian artists!(she received many scholarships and awards for her artwork, she deserves it) We've never met in real life but I believe she's exceedingly friendly and dedicated girl.

Last year, right before my birthday, I requested her to draw me a birthday card. She was still a new friend/stranger, presumably she wouldn't have done what I've asked, but she did everyone!! I know she spent time on it cuz her drawing was so intricate and creative. I want to read what she wrote on the card but her writing was too tiny.

I was so happy to know that she put effort for me! She told me that she will give it to me when we have the chance to hang out together in the future. Awww, ta hen hao ren, siboh?

Anyway, good luck girl, I know you have a bright future ahead of you. Keep up of your good work.


2014 




All the cards that she made, very talented!






Yukar, former dance buddy of mine. We talked often when we were practicing since her age is closest to mine! She's so friendly, active, funny, and partying in her house was my favorite time of all. Lately, her status seems depressing, I just hope she gets stronger and bolder while facing any hard knocks in life. All the best girl!






Thank you. Haha, miin jie always asks about how we're doing. Guess she misses us like crazy. Hope to see you soon too! 





Gor, my former dance teacher. Yes, although you like to act cool, I know deep down you care for every single one of your dancers(until today). 

I especially love those times when we gathered altogether and celebrated birthdays, after-performance dinners, parties and etc. Geez, why does every good must come to an end.




Sally Aunty was incredibly nice too.







Roza, best lunch partner in school. Girl, who's gonna accompany during lunch when school starts? Anyhow, thank you for listening to my rants and while I was memorizing my speeches. I hope you'll meet amazing friends over there. She is in New York now, hope she likes it there!! Take care. Don't forget to visit me in California once in a while.






No, I won't forget people like you! Imy&Ily too.






Old besties..



Also, not to mention the one who thinks I'm still a kid even though I'm 17teen.













Save the best for last, thank you dad and mom for the beautiful and delicious cake!!
After all, you can't resist food like cake, can you?





I have the same birthday as my dad, what are the chances of that!




I love you guy's wishes! Thank you :) 

So here's a mirror selfie of mine in honor of all the wishes I received.
My hair is naturally brown, I'm so proud of it! 




Yupp, it wasn't anything fancy but that was enough for me. 

In any case, I'm the luckiest girl on earth. I mean plenty of people died from war in Gaza, lost their lives due to horrible plane-crash incidents and so on so forth. At least, I have a roof on top of me, it's summer break and most of all, I have my cake! 

I'm blessed with loves and wishes. Thankyou God! 

Until nextime folks, take care.


Maleficent 电影观后感


最近夏天不用去学校,很有空,所以我和家人常去 theater 看了很多部电影!
虽然看了很多套戏,但我觉得这个电影非常值得看
女主角是 Angelina Jolie 饰演  还没看就很期待
可是她好瘦哦  脸都凹进去了 以前听说她中 cancer ... :(





我会写很多 SPOILERS (and YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
没看的人别读这篇文  哈哈

今天也心血来潮想打华语 post
因为不想把母语全都给忘掉  常常打英文 很快地就会把其他语言给忽略掉

So, Maleficent 的华语名其实是 {黑魔女}
她是睡美人里面的巫婆
放心,这套戏的故事与睡美人比只有 10% 相似度
但造型上 100% 像!




Maleficent 原是一个善良,漂亮和有超能力仙女
她住的地方也很梦幻
她与其他仙人不同因为她拥有他人没有的大翅膀
对她而言很重要因为她喜欢在天上飞翔    与云碰触是她的娱乐








小时,她是个天真无邪,开心开朗的孩子
长大的过程中  她遇到了生命里第一次喜欢的男孩(人类,名叫 Stefen)
她爱慕 Stefan, 她每天都盼望着这男来见她一面
他们两天天黏着对方 渐渐也日久生情
在Maleficent 16岁 她把她的初吻献给了这男孩  可见她是真心爱他的
当时,Stefan 有跟 Maleficent 讲过  亲她因为那时 true love kiss

TRUE LOVE KISS


Maleficent 年幼时
左边是 Stefan 小时候




故事里面一开始介绍两个地方,
第一个就是人类居住的  再来就是仙女(Maleficent) 住的
Opposite 的 castle 是人类住的

这里是 Maleficent's territory,  好梦幻


两个地方从以前就河水不犯井水
谁也料不到有一天,
人类世界里的皇帝想要把女主角的地方占为己有,甚至想要杀死 Maleficent 的念头


过了不久,皇帝派来了一群军人来抵抗 Maleficent    (我知道,很不知量力)
显然的,Maleficent用超能力打败他们
皇上伤的很严重  因此也激怒了皇上
皇上便命令在他身边服侍的军人 that
如果其中一人能把Maleficent杀死, 皇位就会交替给某某人
某某人里面也当然包括 Stefan


Stefan 一听到这消息,非常的惊讶,贪图心很强,他想要得到这皇位
即使条件是把他的爱人给杀了!!
傍晚时便骑马去树林找 Maleficent  刚开始他 act dao 很正常
聊天不久后他问 Maleficent 渴不渴  然后自己拿出一瓶装了安眠药的水给她喝
想要在她昏迷时杀她
然而 Stefan 也鼓不起勇气把刀插进 Maleficent 胸里  算他还有一点点的良知

他知道她的翅膀很要紧 几乎不可没了它

所以就把刀割了她的翅膀  想说皇上会以为她真的死了
*还有一个事实就是他知道 Maleficent 天不怕地不怕,可最怕摸到铁, 铁会烫伤她的手

当她昏醒过来就发现她的翅膀被偷走了。。


她知道是 Stefan 干的好事  可是自己没了翅膀也无能为力的找 Stefan 算账
她很伤心,愤怒与忧闷
觉得自己被背叛了
失去他,爱恨开始分明
从未想过自己最爱的人会做出这样的事
看了这一幕感到特别很揪心 为什么会有人对待自己爱的人??
难道当皇位比不上青梅竹马的知己吗?
人有时很不懂得满足和很矛盾!


Maleficent 世界在这段期间变得很黑暗
用魔力建树樯 与人隔离



思想也变得阴暗 一直想要报复 Stefan
她外在看起来就像睡美人里的巫婆 
话是这么说 但她其实还保留着自己善良的一面 邪恶只是自己的保护色
会这么说是因为在她很伤心时她还不断的救生命
比如说 像这个鸟:

这鸟如果不是被她发现,早就会被人打死
她把鸟转变成人类 做人时只要透过 Maleficent 的魔法就会变化成鸟或其他动物
这鸟为了报答她恩情 心甘情愿地做了她的助手
鸟的名是:Diaval


Hen handsome 一下!!




时间慢慢地过了
Stefan 成了皇帝 同时也娶了一位公主
Maleficent 一路来都有派Diaval 探索消息
当她得知Stefan 有了baby,要开派对,表面上冷静其实自己非常气
气在于为何Stefan 不来找她至于还有了亲生骨肉
她决定要参加皇帝的女儿的满月派对 更希望能报仇

到了派对那天 人民纷纷庆祝这好日子 没有人知道Maleficent会去
很多人都去为了把祝福献给皇帝的女儿
有三位仙女本来住在Maleficent的地方也到了那为公主许愿
Stefan蛮怕仙女回来乱,本来不给,但后来发现她们没恶意就随他们
许愿许到一半时 女巫就抵达了







看到 Stefan的女儿(name: Arora) 她和他的回忆又浮现在她的脑海里
却无法抵制嫉妒心和仇恨






因为抱着要报仇的心态来到派对 她跟所有的人包括来宾宣布她会诅咒皇帝的宝宝
我觉得很残忍 宝宝是蛮无辜 可换是我 我会做得更绝



简单来说 





Maleficent诅咒Arora十六岁那年会自动到纺锤 (spindle,以前人缝衣的机器)
把手指插入纺锤里的针 从此Arora将处于昏迷状态


潇洒的离开 

唯一能破除掉诅咒的方法是:TRUE LOVE KISS 
Arora公主得被自己喜欢和喜欢她的人亲 才能活过来






完事后,Maleficent离开了城堡 Stefan很怕和紧张因为不想女儿出事
便命令了三个仙女把女带去安全的地方居住 十六岁那年生日才可以回城堡




但她们常常为了小吵架 没把宝宝照顾好
哈哈 最好笑就是连母奶或奶粉也没有 这么喂奶叻



最不可思议是 Maleficent一直都在宝宝身边观察着
她虽然很恨Arora 但也没有坏到要杀baby!!
天天探望小女孩 
并默默守护在宝宝身旁因为她也受不了那三个仙女 太不会照顾小孩


偷偷来探望 Arora


Arora likes Maleficent too! (:




Maleficent 扮酷 但其实很想跟 Arora 玩!x)

















当女孩会跑时 Arora 差点跌在悬崖中也是 Maleficent 救回来的
一次又一次的做了守护天使 不是恶魔




被人类视为女巫无时无刻都陪着她成长 像妈妈一样无微不至地疼爱着Arora
好感动 很伟大!




女孩长大了也慢慢变成熟 她也知道 Maleficent的存在
所以看到Maleficent也不怕

初次见面有被外形吓倒



公主 Arora知道女巫的存在很久了
顿时 女巫感到错愕, 不敢相信自己听到的话 



接下来 公主对女巫说了谢谢因为像影子般在她成长过程中得到安全感和关爱
公主还把她当成自己的母亲
还叫她一声: ''God mom!'' 



Fast forward 。。。
在公主十六岁生日就擅自的回去了城堡
她得知 Maleficent其实是那位诅咒她的人 














公主选择在这时候回去是很错的决定 因为她要碰到的针的时间会越来越近
但她还是回了城堡
回到是 她隐隐约约听见有个声音呼唤她的名字
她慢慢的往那声音朝去 看到了针
便把手指刺进针







很快的 公主便晕倒了
同时,女巫虽然怕回到城堡救公主 因为她怕再次被人类伤害和攻击 
可她也鼓起勇气去了!




女巫带了公主喜欢的男生 心想这男的会亲和救公主
你们猜会吗?




Deng Deng Deng..


答案是:公主不会醒过来 

Why?
-因为公主还不够爱这男生 她只是对他一见钟情

如果你们够聪明的话,我想你已知道真正能救活公主的人是女巫,她们俩的爱已经远超过公主与生命里的任何人了


写到这我觉得已经够了 留了大概30%没写吧   
我觉得这套戏最重要的镜头就是我以上写的
我学习到很多东西 感触很深
大概就像读完一本好书的感觉
还是不能理解为何 Stefan要背叛 Maleficent 

可是到最后还是那句 
老天爷不会辜负一颗善良的心 凡是都要三思而后想



这套电影我给

推荐你看 你不会后悔而且会学会很多东西,值得看过 The Fault in Our Starts (No offense)




文章最后想说,  Angelina Jolie 讲得也太对了!

{ ''Life and people are so much more complicated. The movie, Maleficent has a very strong messages. Never judge somebody by the way you first look at them.  People are capable of wonderful things, but when they're abused, they can go very dark. And, understanding people, understanding what causes people to be evil'' } - Angelina Jolie
