Born on the 11th of August 1991 , i was given the name Nicole J. Michael. Simple but i like it :) I actually forgot the exact time i was born. But im pretty sure it was around 4am-ish. Anywho , my dad is Indian and my mum is Sino-Kadazan. People wouldnt know what race i am. I just simply say im Chindian Kadazan. Simple. I dont really like explaining. Cause I get asked alot. ALOT. BUT sadly i cant speak a word of Indian , Chinese or Kadazan. So sad right? OH WELL , as long as i can speak English and Malay. Good enough for me.
I remember my childhood clearly , it was fun , scary but overall amazing! When i was born , my family couldnt afford to buy a house so we stayed with my grandparents for a few years until my parents could make enough money to buy a house. When i was about 3 years old if im not mistaken we finally moved into our very own house , a house i call my childhood home. Its the house where i grew up in , childhood memories were made. AHHH good times. We lived in that house up until i was in form 1. After that we moved to an apartment building for about 4 years. I really loved staying there. I remember Farrah and i would often meet up and walk to the bakery nearby and just sit and talk. Once it was raining so we had to wait till it stopped so we could walk home. She was the one who came to my place cause i was lazy most of the time. HAHA. After staying in the apartment building for about 4 years ,we moved again to our current house now. We've been staying here for about 3 years now and i absolutely love it. Its not big or anything but it is very homey , which i love.
Moving on , lets talk about my school life now. I started preschool when i was about 4 or 5. I remember the name of the school , Sunny Smiles Preschool :D Didnt do much there , colouring and stuff. I still have pictures of a drama we did when i was there. I hated being in the drama i cried. LOL. and sadly my parents got it on film. They never let me forget what a very CEREWET kid i was. Well thankfully i grew out of that. After preschool i went to St Francis Primary School , and honestly saying i didnt enjoy my first year of primary school. HAHA, i didnt want to go to school, i would make a scene, cry. ANYTHING to avoid going to school. Parents of course wouldnt have it and forced me to go to school. OF COURSE. and so i sucked it up and went anyway. It wasnt until i was in Primary 3 when i started to enjoy school. I had friends and i started to have fun at school. Primary 4,5 and 6 were okay. I was enjoying being a kid. HAHA. After finishing primary school , i continued my secondary education at where else but SMK ST FRANCIS CONVENT ! And i have to say , it was the best 5 years of my life! Made tonnes of friends from different schools when i was in form 1 , met my bestfriends Cassandra , Precious , Alana , Erica and Delia. Good times , really good times. Form 1 was fun actually , i met my bestfriend Precious , when i just happened to sit next to her in class. We clicked right away and have been bestfriends ever since. We were both selected to be prefects , which we were excited about. But i could honestly say i was a lousy prefect. LOL. i skipped class for no reason and i could cause i was a prefect. I just said i had work to do outside of class. ANYWAY , i wasnt at all active when i was in form 1 until form 3. I only became active in school when i was in form 4 when i joined choir. HONEST TO GOD , best decision i made to join. Choir was awesome to be a part of. SFC (St. Francis Convent) is the best choir team in Sabah , we always got 1st in competitions , go to YouTube and see for yourself :D I wish i could go back to those days , thats how awesome choir was. Going for choir competitions was my favorite part. Seeing the competition , singing , WINNING. What could be better? I remember when i was in form 4 , we were to represent Sabah in the National Choir Competition. We were up against all the other states. It was my first time going to nationals so i was very nervous and excited at the same time. I took real good care of my voice , up till the competition day! We got up , sang our hearts out , and we got 3rd place. Behind Sarawak and Selangor. We all got a little trophy! That was the highlight of my secondary school life for sure :D
After i finished my form 5 , i had a 5 month holiday from school. It was fun , until all my friends started continuing their studies. I was looking for some private colleges where i could continue my studies. Discussed with my parents and ultimately we ( more to they - MUM and DAD ) made the decision that i would go to form 6! OMG. I was hesitant at first cause form 6 is hard and believe me when i say this , IT IS HARD. I kinda regret going cause i knew it wasnt for me but i only realized that i couldnt carry my subjects 4 months before STPM. I was so stressed thinking about it , i cried ( ALOT ) , couldnt concentrate. I talked to my parents about it , but they asked me to stay and continue cause the exam was near. They said dont give up , so i did. I stayed and sat for the exam. SUPRISE SUPRISE i didnt do well , at all. I was kinda expecting it cause my head wasnt in it at all. I regret not studying but i dont regret meeting some awesome people in form 6. I met my added bestfriends Siti Rasna Sierra or Ser as i call her and Megavani Kumar or Mega as i call her. We have been friends since 2009 , they're awesome and i love them to death ! :') . So after the STPM results came out , i was really devastated , but i couldnt do anything but move on. I thought my dreams of becoming a teacher was gone. I really did. I was so upset , i cried for 2 days non stop , i stayed in my room. Basically not having the will to live. HAHA , dramatic i know but that was how i felt at the time. My results were so bad , i was not 'layak' to apply for any government uni with my STPM results. So my dad made the decision to try applying for IPG with my SPM results. I didnt really think much about it , i just tried my luck. THANKFULLY , i qualified for an interview! I was excited , so was my dad. I went for the interview on the 27th of April. My family and i were on vacay in KL at the time , so i had to fly to KK alone for my interview. What an experience. After the interview i flew directly to Penang to join my family and enjoy the rest of my vacay.
A month later , the results for the interview were out. I GOT IT! OMG i couldnt believe it! My dad received an SMS and told me i got it! I was so happy , i cried. HAHA. And to top it off i got placed in my hometown! Daddy was the happiest. Since i was a daddys girl , im sure he was glad i wasnt placed somewhere else.
So yeah , here i am now. Waiting for my intake , which is in 10 days! Im excited cause i've been rotting at home for almost 7 months now. IMAGINE THAT! I had to prepare alot of things and thank God im done. The only thing i know is that i have to stay at the hostel for a week for the orientation. Besides that , i can only wait and see whats gonna happen. I will continue updating from time to time.
p/s , sorry for the grammar and spelling errors.
Till my next post , BYE :)
