I have a sister who studied interior design, but now works in a travel agency. My younger brother finished SPM earlier this year, and refuses to continue studying; he said he didn’t know what to study anyway. A friend of mine switched from full time studying, part time working to part time studying, full time working. He’s earning about 2K per month now.

Having been born and raised in a country with constant summer, it is nothing out of ordinary to want to be in a place where it actually snows for real. I’ve wanted to see, touch and feel real snow (not man-made snow from Snow World or what-not) for so long and I was often envious of my friends who had the chance to go abroad, whether to study or for a vacation.

A few years ago, reality TV shows were a hit. I’m not talking about shows like American Idol and Akademi Fantasia (even though they were hot then too), I’m talking about reality shows about finding love. The Bachelor, Average Joe, The Bacholorette… ring any bells?

I wrote a piece of fiction inspired by these shows back then because I thought how funny it was that real life is hardly ever depicted in these shows, or rather how these shows was a bit too dreamy to be true. (Especially Average Joe - such a mean thing to do to us girls! - they should produce another show called Plain Jane, the opposite version of Average Joe)
