You will feel very depressed. You will feel very sad. You will feel very frustrated. You will feel that it is unfair and that these happenings should not have happened.<div><br /></div><div>What if it happens around you?</div><div><br /></div><div>The magnitude of it amplifies and increases by many folds, seemingly filled with heartache and sadness. It is as if a part of you has been ripped apart and never to return ever again.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, to all readers out there, this is the inconvenient truth.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the 17th of January 2010, 5 Chung Ling students and a teacher perished from a terrible accident during a dragon boat practice session.</div><div><br /></div><div>I say this with heartfelt agony and pain. My heartfelt condolences goes to all the families and friends who have known them.</div><div><br /></div><div>And right now, the blame game starts just so soon after this has happened. It just adds to the frustration which has already circulated the whole issue.</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps it is time people try to rationalise that there is nothing left to be rationalised.</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps, it is just fate. It is just fate that put everything into play causing this. On a day which everything got wrong, fate is just simply unavoidable.</div><div><br /></div><div>No matter how you try to cheat death, one day, it will suffice. Even if you lay at home sitting down on a couch watching TV, you still cannot escape fate.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, it is time people accept. It is a time people should stop all this blaming and pointing, which is just a nuisance to what already is a tragic event. It is time people should see that it was just not meant to be. Let's just mourn over their loss and carry on with our lives. Cherish every moment we have. Live life to the fullest and get up from this fall we have just experienced! I'm sure that is what those who are gone which we would do.</div><div><br /></div><div>Life goes on...</div><div><br /></div><div>May the five students and teacher rest in peace. Amen.</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-74443979034216158262010-01-15T22:22:00.002+08:002010-01-15T22:25:18.454+08:008 Days In A Lift?!<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"></span></b><blockquote><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Woman survives eight days stuck in lift</span></b><br /><br />Police and firefighters in Spain have rescued a woman who spent eight days trapped in the lift of her apartment building, police say.<br /><br />The 35-year-old was found conscious but disorientated and was taken to hospital after she was found in the private lift in the town of Sitges near Barcelona.<br /><br />The police were alerted by relatives in Madrid who had reported her missing, and then heard her cries for help when they visited the building.<br /><br />Police said it was not clear how the woman, who lived alone, managed to survive for that length of time.<br /><br />The lift had apparently stalled due to an electrical fault.<div><br /></div><div>Source : ABC.net.au</div></blockquote><div></div><div><br /></div><div>LOL?

With all the controversies and ridicule throughout the many years, does it really take all this to only make people realise? Gosh, I truly question the people's reaction time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It might not seem as big a problem as it is. I mean, who the hell has the power to say that the term 'Allah' cannot be used by anyone else. By saying this, you are indirectly saying that you are as the likes of Prophet Muhammad perhaps, founder of the Islamic religion we all know of today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First, you give history lessons to us dominated with that religion and its origins. Then, you come taint that very image. You know, this is not a bad thing after all. Giving us Sejarah on Islamic origins just makes us more aware of what Islam is all about. In fact, it made us realise that all this that you claim out of Islam is never part of Islam. Instead of serving its purpose to show Islam, it showed us the real side of this whole belief instead of what has been muttered out of politicians.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe, it is better to not spark racial remarks. Hey, take the recent church arson attacks. Although I am not Christian, this just shows how intolerant some people are. It is just sad I tell you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, perhaps let's take another look at this matter. Are there any positives out of this?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'll answer, "Yes!"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In fact, there is a lot to be taken out of this. If it takes a few firebombs and wrecked churches to awaken the people, it certainly is worth it. Now, people can see the real side. People can now realise how irrational this can become. You say elections don't matter. Take another good look. First the whole dispute over the word was never supposed to happen. It takes them a whole 16 year period to realise that The Herald used to word and finally take action against it? I mean, come on. Common sense tells you this whole issue is a total ridicule.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next, for once, this whole issue takes its appearance on CNN. That's right. At least now, the whole world can see it. It may not be a groundbreaking achievement to most of you. But at least, people from the outside world can get to see that, Malaysia is not as peaceful as it seems after all. Even now, foreigners can voice out their opinion on websites and say that this whole problem is a disgrace as well as how Wawasan 2020 can never be achieved if something like this cannot even be sought out. This is just very depressing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I might not be right about everything. But if even foreigners can take a good look and say all this is crap, then it should be pretty obvious. Gosh, this is so not meant to be racist or anything. In fact, I respect every race out there. It is more like down to those individuals who can commit acts like this that deserve to be pointed to.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Malaysia is a country where many races live in peace alongside one another. I think this has been running away from us already. No doubt, this is every Malaysians dream....... Dreams do come true.... don't they?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Life goes on.</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-37987520855503080112010-01-05T20:10:00.002+08:002010-01-05T20:15:20.810+08:00Ouch<div style="text-align: left;">Just some dish at the Dim Sum restaurant.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholyVmmI4Gxeh9YUKfLKy-hM7l2xYnB38uW1yxKue6fmi-H4rhxp9J4Poctq3VlNxT3bIJ13CapTNkUn_HrHDgqKpCmjEflmGDf-9kIhPccEBIuQzghR1C-VxFRFGb863JAsCSQ9qXP-I/s320/27122009.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423227680976760354" /><br /></div><div>For some reason, it's delicious XD. *costs more than 5 AUD I suppose =X*</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-13810413251749387212010-01-04T20:53:00.003+08:002010-01-04T21:04:55.287+08:00A New Post<div style="text-align: center;">A New Year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Beginning.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Change.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Path.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Journey.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Challenge.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A New Me.</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-19096709538638726892009-12-31T18:39:00.006+08:002010-01-04T21:08:14.431+08:00How is your glass?<div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">Two, the milleniums.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Zeros, the centuries, the decades</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nine, the years.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After twenty four weeks,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">three hundred and sixty five days.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All is to change in the coming hours.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Try reflecting over the minutes,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and even seconds which have gone by,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">how would you judge this bottle of wine?</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And there I stood, watching as those memoirs of yesteryear flash by. At one moment, there was a start of a new year, fresh and energizing. Always that way at the start. And now here we are, all standing by the tip of the canyon, the end of this journey, all ready and set to embark on a new one ahead as we watch the past fall behind, like it was just a matter of seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe those seconds mattered more than what it seemed to be. It has always been the human brain playing a trick on us, don't you think? Like some psychologists say, the brain cuts off less meaningful events, moving forward events to make them seem very near to us when in truth, we have gone through much more than we thought we would. Time had given us three hundred and sixty five days, only to have it converted into a matter of minutes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On one hand, you might say I have not done much. I sometimes think so too. It is as if I have poured cheap dessert wine into my new wine glass. Bored is the term I usually use. Perhaps I indeed have not made much improvement or achievements from the eyes of the spectators, still planted in front of this little corner of mine as always. I guess this is what most think of themselves when they reflect, don't they? Try to think about it. How many on this Earth would think that they have done a lot and are extremely satisfied about how they have filled their wine glass? I'd say not more than ten percent. Sadly, when requested to give a suggestion for any amendment of time, everyone hoped they have more hours.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes we will never be satisfied. It is human nature. Coming out fresh from Psychology 1B, I dare say that according to various studies, the human happiness level is constant. When we experience significant events, it is then that we experience the significant change. Though, it still levels off soon after. We will then come into that same level of happiness as we once were. Many say they wish for happiness. Honestly, can this ever be achieved? I guess that question can be left for the bored in later days.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If I wrote what I have done in an essay and submit it to a superstar panel, I bet all of them would say I have wasted it. Give them to mega entrepreneurs, they would say I am stupid enough to waste income. What do you expect? Half a year of slacking plus half a year of slacking. I bet the only times I had ever made any progress can be shortened to a matter of weeks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, I dare say that 2009 has been the most productive year of my entire life. Physically, I may not have done much. But as far as how I thought I made my steps, I feel I have done so effectively. It could have been more, that I cannot deny. But it takes a little bit of self reflection to make someone get out of that little shell they were once guarding themselves with all these years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have not felt so proud of what I have been through for so long. 2009 brought me a change to my life. My perceptions, my ideas. It was when I realised what I had really wanted and what I had passion about. It was then I discovered the very pieces that form my soul. It was then that I finally reflected through all my life, and finally come to my senses on what I was to go through in the coming decade.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This may seem kind of small. But hey, who would dare say that they know what they want for themselves, truthfully and with confidence? That is an achievement itself that goes a long way. I found my interests, my goals and my soul. Finally, "我的自述" should not be much of a problem. Something that I should have mastered a long time ago. The question of the centuries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyhow, words must be put into action. A new dawn looms ahead at the horizon, promising so much hope and excitement. Let the psychics say all they want about omens and predictions. It is not up to them to predict how we should run our lives. Destiny might ask you to predict your own life, making it your destiny to do it. But since it is our destiny to do all that we are supposed to do, why not look ahead with a smile and take the next footstep in our destiny's path. As for me, I'm just happy to have the privilege to do something I have not wanted to do for the last 16 years of my life. Haha. Don't you just love what your destiny can do to yourself? I do. And hopefully, those around the globe would love their destinies. Onward with the millenium!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Coming back to the wine glass. High class wine drinkers say dessert wine drinkers are low class. Red wine is the thing out there. I'd have to give them a slap in the face. A wine glass is meant for wine. If dessert wine is not wine, what is it? Besides, come to think of it, dessert wine can prove to be quite a lovely beverage too. As a new wine glass is placed before me, what should I pour into it? Well, that's the question I'd leave for tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for now, there is still 3 quarters of an hour to go here in the land down under. My best wishes to all that I have been so privileged to meet out there! To all in Penang and all over the world. Let us all have a toast with the last few sips of the wine in our wine glass and enjoy every moment of it!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To all readers out there,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">H</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF9900;">A</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">P</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33FF33;">P</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#00CCCC;">Y</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">N</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">E</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6600CC;">W</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;">Y</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF99FF;">E</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">A</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">R</span>!

Not the first time. Yet, suddenly got reminded about this in an email (Thanks :) ). A bit long I know, but worthwhile. Just a little something I'd wish to share with all you delightful readers out there. =D</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Discover the 90/10 Principle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How? ……….By your reaction.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; <b>YOU</b> can control how you react.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's use an example.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What happens next will be determined by how you react.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You curse.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why did you have a bad day?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li>A) Did the coffee cause it?</li><li>B) Did your daughter cause it?</li><li>C) Did the policeman cause it?</li><li>D) Did you cause it?</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The answer is <b>“D"</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here is what could have and should have happened.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Notice the difference?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Because of how <b>YOU</b><b> </b>REACTED.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>WHO CARES</b> if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You are told you lost your job.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The result?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It <b>CAN</b> change your life!!!</div></blockquote><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many thanks to Stephen R. Covey for this article! Something to remind us all about how we should deal with problems and not overreact. Some things you might argue cannot be helped. But if a little bit of damage control can turn things around, it goes a long way. A thought I would like to share :)</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-64192722918509706062009-11-09T21:41:00.008+08:002009-11-09T22:29:40.073+08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes, we see things in a very simple way. Our very actions and activities day by day prove to be nothing but a routine to us, seemingly harmless in every way. A friend once told me that there is nothing to be afraid of, it's only the fear inside your heart.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That is in many ways, true. Yet, sometimes, you can't help but feel it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I, myself, have a great flaw - paranoia. During situations where I feel I have no control of, freaking out is the first thing on my mind's to-do list for some reason. I certainly wished that I didn't have it, for if I didn't, I would have been a more successful person in life. At least, that's what I thought.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.bluenitrogen.net/chlee/paranoia.png" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px; " /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Come to think of it, though, I may have been a completely different person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, that aside, sometimes, things can not be within your grasps any time. Try as you like to gain control over it, but it won't work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Take life as an example. Everyone lives their own free lives, aiming to be the best that they will ever be.... constantly going higher and higher till you reach the top.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, in this Rat Race, there is bound to be an "Mousetrap accident".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#551A8B;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#551A8B;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://98.129.206.250/images/dynamic/mice/5f34c748f28f82bc664b61dc34041949?ver=2" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 225px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">External forces would play their little game of disruption, constantly providing obstacles and danger in our way. Just as you'd play Monopoly. If you took a thousand turns, there is bound to be once where you'd lose cash... or even head to jail. Life is unfair as I've learned. People don't wish for calamities. You see rain dances, but not earthquake dances, right? Yet, they come inevitably and are unavoidable.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Such, as the news recently suggested. Although I might not know this person, the impact was still felt. The fact that the external force seemed to be of low danger to many just shows how little things deserved to be watched out for. No wonder the elders always tell us to be careful. Even in examinations, we are taught the concept of being cautious. This just highlights it all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB2mzfio96Zwhlyoy79_8ChLB3WxkPRkWNRNmS-RKeO5alfV8r2NzJ70sCR-7s9_DO53iLq7zouxVsSyy0CSbXANKlRwfKm4Pe89bLbSbCjfJSTTxGkzfZmUDI-EEbMWpiAqXKKcioDjE/s400/website-mistake.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB2mzfio96Zwhlyoy79_8ChLB3WxkPRkWNRNmS-RKeO5alfV8r2NzJ70sCR-7s9_DO53iLq7zouxVsSyy0CSbXANKlRwfKm4Pe89bLbSbCjfJSTTxGkzfZmUDI-EEbMWpiAqXKKcioDjE/s400/website-mistake.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px; " /></a>Though, cautious itself, sometimes, just isn't enough. "It's not like I've seen death on the news for the first time" as another friend blogged. But this one, considerably closer than most of them, just gives you a wake up call on how bloody precious life can be and how ridiculously cruel it can also be. It was........... out of our control.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For some reason, it just felt emotional. Just goes to show how much we should appreciate life and not whine about the little things we face everyday. We should live it to the maximum while we can.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><blockquote style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">want to be someone extraordinary in near future..</span></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A big dream of the late James that could not be fulfilled. A reminder to us all who want to achieve greatness. Life, as it is, is not eternal and perfect. Fate, as it is, is hard to be changed. Instead of trying to change fate, work on what we have and do as much as we can. Live life well!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 26, 139); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://www.livelifewell.nsw.gov.au/images/layoutimage.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 399px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">To the three, may you rest in peace.</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-61847167228633720722009-10-27T14:41:00.007+08:002009-10-27T14:52:57.849+08:00For The Love Of Art<div style="text-align: justify;">Ah!

Well, what can I say? It's not like I never saw it. I was never surprised. Yes, excuses may come all they want. But still, sometimes, you feel like you're like a louse, being such an annoyance that you don't even know it. Yet, sometimes you know you did nothing wrong.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The world is constantly changing. For one moment, you thought you belonged. Yet at one moment, everything goes behind you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What can I do? I knew it from the start. Surprise? Nah. I guess I was trying too hard. Maybe it's time for something fresh and leave everything behind. At least I can say that I did my best. For all that I know, a small notice would not be even sensed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it's not what you did wrong. Maybe sometimes, it's some people's problem. They just don't value you enough. Even after all you tried and constantly seeking ways to improve, it just wouldn't work for you. Why is it like that? How I wish life was ever fair to us all.... Then, I would not suffer from this predicament. This just s*cks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remembering what a friend said last time, I guess it was true. Would it make that much of a difference? Trying to defy it, every attempt was thrown to fight it. I guess like another friend said, desperation leads you nowhere. True enough.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just want to feel known.

What I'm supposed to do is done. Now, on towards the light! Soon, it'll all change and a new beginning will arise. But anyhow, it has been one heck of a road.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whether I get what I want or not is another matter. Even if I ever wanted it so dearly, all I can hope for now is a miracle in life. Something, that I admit I have not seen for a while. Then again, I might see many miracles happening around me already, not knowing it... or perhaps, neglecting it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have always wondered why my life is this way. To be honest, even if I can say others are pessimistic, it still does not take away the fact that I have a doubtful, somewhat pessimistic thinking as well. Even what I say on this little spot contradicts what I have previously thought. I guess, this is the art of learning. Perhaps, after all those negative thoughts, you finally realise that what you keep thinking of is futile. It is practically useless to keep thinking that life is going against you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">True, you can't deny the fact that life sometimes feels like waves of tsunami smacking your very soul. I certainly felt that way some time last year. It feels really bad, I admit. For someone who has faced very little difficulties, sometimes, the smallest of obstacles can prove to be a great one to jump over. Not obstacles like Chemistry that some face, but obstacles like attachments and life in general. Rejection is simply something you may not fancy in that particular time. But hey, immaturity got the best of me I'm afraid.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Life is like a living hell? Yeah, this is probably on everyone's mind at times. You probably find life to have no meaning. The more you think of it, the more disappointed and saddened you become of how your life is. You look at the people around you and wonder why you can not be like them or have what they have. You see people having what you can't have, and keep dreaming on, only to let the dream disappoint you time and time again. It is then that you feel depressed. Doesn't everyone go through this?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But if you think of it again, if everyone goes through this, wouldn't it make sense that we are all envying one another. When this happens, wouldn't it just indicate that we are just fools who only know how to appreciate what we don't have. Why don't we just appreciate what we have and make the most out of it? Easier said than done, especially even when you don't want to think that way, you just can't help it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How we wished life was just filled with miracles. Everyday, why won't there be a world where everyone suddenly become billionaires. Why won't there be a world without broken hearts? Why won't everyone get what they want! But if you look at it, THE WORLD IS THAT WAY. If you take a look at relationship, if A and B likes C, there is bound to be a problem. If both of them gets what they want, would you mind if we cut C in half? Either way, there is bound to be a broken heart.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In fact, miracles do happen everyday. Everyday in life, you see couples come together, cancer survivors, near escapes etc. Doesn't it strike you that you see a miracle every time you watch the news? If you learn how to appreciate what happens in your life, you would also realise that miracles happen everyday in your own life! It's just that we are too ignorant or fortunate to realise the very fortunes we have.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps something would show how life is to be appreciated. How miracles can happen anywhere when destined to. Today, a mother let go of her pram with her baby in order to pull up her pants. In the process, the pram starts to move right down into the railway track right in front of the mother. The mother watched as the baby and the pram fall onto the railway track as a train steamrolls past the station. The mother lunged at her infant, desperate to save the precious baby......... It was not enough...... Thankfully, the emergency brakes were used. However, the train already ran over the tram with the baby.......................... Sad now? Here'some prove for you. Observe the pram and the train passing by.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><center><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MavSgbZQM8U&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MavSgbZQM8U&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></center><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">BUT WAIT! THE BABY WAS SAFE! How?! I don't think Mr. Universe can survive a train running over him. How can a baby survive? In fact, the baby only sustained a small bump on his head? How can the softest and weakest of skin muscles survive such a large force? I got one word for ya - <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MIRACLE</span></b>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides, if you think of it, how we ever came to exist is a miracle itself....

Time to take a breather from all that crap. Listen to a nice song after a crappy day like how I told my interviewer I'd do it. Life is not meant to be dull, but enjoyed to its fullest.

Just a title to scare some. Then again, it seems like a very appropriate title for what I am about to say.<br /><br />If some of you might be aware, I'd probably be moaning about bad interviews. Well, it is true. Nervousness got to my head I'm afraid. The once control and preparation I had was all gone in front of what was to be my Biology lecturer, who looked friendly yet sometimes a bit uninterested. You would know that I really have doubts on a lot of things. That glimpse of his disinterest just caught my attention, probably affecting how I was to perform. You can't help it. When you are blabbing tons of stuff out which is not crap but full of logical points, you would surely feel weird when the interviewer does not give any reply or makes a rather "no-effect" face. I guess it is safe to say that my lecturer has darn good acting skills to intimidate the ones he interviews, hah? Maybe XD.<br /><br />Well, of course, the usual messing up with words and having your tongue tied continued to wreak havoc onto my interview replies. It kind of sucks to know that after all those interviews, I still get the same feeling every time - "Saying something then regretting that I said it too soon, making me mess up my points." Yeah, I think it was evident a few times, which could have made him have the thought that I prepared the entire thing which was supposedly unprepared.<br /><br />Anyhow, what's done is done. After one day of complaining, I think it's safe to say that I have expressed every discontent I had towards my interview and come back to the highway again. Not confident as after I did my PQA. This was a totally different feeling. It was a normal interview which I personally screwed up. All I have to blame is myself, and then move on with life. You know, even if I don't get this, there's always an alternative route to it.<br /><br />I should know. I've been through it. If you want to talk in the point of university acceptances, I bet no one other than perhaps JR (He applies too many, his fault :P) would understand how rejection has become a very normal process in my life. In April, almost all but one rejected me. In June, more came. Furthermore, I get official rejection letters from places like Harvard. Hey! I GOT A HARVARD LETTER, AIN'T THAT COOL?<br /><br />Maybe not. But the point is, even if a girl supposedly dumps you, you think you won't have another girl who is equally as attractive whether outside or in that doesn't want you. Think about it. With all your heart, you can do everything *ripped of With All Your Heart by plusOne*. Even if an earthquake strikes Vanuatu, it didn't strike Fiji.... well in geological terms, yet. But anyhow, life is just like that. Whenever you fail, you mourn and cry over spilt milk. Sour grapes. After that, you naturally find it the norm. Like recently in Psychology, I learned that the change in happiness is short-lived. Even if you win the lottery, wouldn't you be happier for what, 2 years? After that, you tend to be as happy as before.<br /><br />Same goes for sadness. Mourn about it, smash yourself for it. What you are doing is wasting your ATP that your body so dearly needs. Think over it and correct yourself. Improve yourself. If life were simply just about winning, who is going to lose? Someone is bound to. It might seem dark at a point. But hey, find another way towards the light. Perhaps, because of rejection, you can find something better in your life! Certainly what I got. Why not try it?<br /><br /><center><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oMo45wN81Rw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oMo45wN81Rw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></center><br /><br />Remember, sometimes goodbye <strong>IS</strong> a <strong>second chance</strong>! :)Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-52887449364284118952009-10-10T13:13:00.002+08:002009-10-10T13:18:07.473+08:00Don't Eat My Pringles!<div style="text-align: justify;">Haha, Pringles.

I guess it has just been justified hah? At one moment, you thought finally you have finished everything there is to do and have a really good day. At another moment, things just never go your way no matter how much you want it to be your way. Sometimes, it's just not your fault but because of others, you have to take the pain and disappointment. Yet, sometimes, everything seems mixed and all jumbled up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Things like this happen. The day I just went through was just indescribable. Some things were done was just not my fault. Everything was because of someone else's mistake. Although I hate to say that the mistake repeated itself in a matter of days, it still happens. And with this mistake that affected you, it makes your entire mood for the day change. Everything that you don't desire just flows right into your life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They say a bad mood and mindset ultimately make you encounter negative happenings. I never believed it. I thought as long as you tried to make it better, you can change destiny. True that a bad mood can lead to this, but sometimes, it's just luck. Why do some people start the day sad and yet end up with so much fortunes? Sometimes, they don't have positive mindsets like I do as well. And yet, everything comes to them. It's luck for me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But what's true about that statement is that a bad mood leads you to a bad day. Contradicting? Let me explain. Think of it like lava from a volcano *sorry I can't think of anything less violent after today's happenings*. It starts off at the peak, and then slowly flows down. The more common illustration are of basaltic lavas *pardon me for Geology terms*. They branch as they travel down the slope of the volcano. What started off on top ultimately branches off to the bottom and causes the rest of it to happen. The lava flows from the start to the end.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, using this simple illustration, put it into real life. Start the day with a bad mood.... and you do things with little mood. Every time someone just had a disappointing occurrence, they wouldn't have the feeling to do anything else. It's natural. I wouldn't say that the bad mood aura attracts more negative things. It just simply causes it. When you have a bad mood, you do the next stuff with a bad mood. And when those end up not satisfactory, you get an even worse mood. With this mood, blah blah blah. You get the picture. Ultimately, I guess it depends on how you control your mood.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pain and disappointment are self-imposed. FALSE. They are definitely not always so. When someone else is at fault, you are sometimes the victim of it. However, it's these little things that lead to further mishaps. Like today. I started with a bad mood, leading me to forget a document, leading me to waste more cash AND leading me to waste my time. And because my bad mood made me forget another thing, it cost me even more time! That sucks right? Yeah, even the shopkeeper saw it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How to deal with this? EQ! Yes. I admit I have low EQ. But well, my recovery and realisation rate is super high, I dare say. Upon suffering pain, I usually panic, as most know me. After the loss, I usually go back to the "no feel" state. Sometimes, it's because the emotions get the best of your logic. If you let your logic take you through it, sometimes, you would see that it isn't so bad after all. You'd start to realise that, it's just another one of those days. Get over it like how you get over every challenge. Even if luck is against you, GO AGAINST IT! Fight it! It takes a true warrior to survive a battle! Nothing stopped men of Sparta from victories in the past. Although they soon succumbed, they still had victories and triumphed against the invaders. Even with the challenges ahead, WE CAN STILL DO IT!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And oh, thought I should include something for this instead of plain text.

Sometimes, things just don't go your way. You know it is always wrong the way those things go, but on purpose, it would try to escape from sense.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then again, if life had made sense from the beginning, nothing would have been achieved by the human race. True that Qin Shi Huang never thought of sense when sacrificing all he had to build what is to be the world's longest structure. If he had made sense, perhaps the whole territory of China might be in the hands of Mongols for a long time. Who'd knew? Till now, people still deem it as an act of murder when in truth, it was a saviour to many.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As if the world itself made sense. How on earth would you imagine flying clumps dust coming together to form the core and then slowly forming the many layers which eventually make the Earth how it is today? Does that make any sense? If I use the dustbunnies under everyone's seat and compressed it with a machine, would it make me a mini-earth? Sounds illogical right? Yet, it is one of the most convincing and proven ways of planet formations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The world makes little sense. Keep that in mind. Sometimes, it's these illogical methods which eventually makes what we call sense in the first place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Patience is virtue as the title says. Well, true. Sometimes, even if it is totally non-sense, it is wise to tolerate it. Little things should be put aside and left to rest. Mistakes happen in life. It's better to show an act of friendliness than cast others aside over a small matter. After all, it's working together that brings any group success.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Making more friends is better than making enemies, that I know for a fact.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Message of the day : </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Friends have no value. It is impossible to put any price tag on friendships since it's one of life's many existence factors. Appreciate your friends, make new friends, learn to be a people's person. Be patient with mistakes and mishaps, sometimes it is this attitude that make them respect you. Just look at Obama ;). Why not learn from that?</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;color:#FF6600;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;color:#FF6600;">And oh, keep sense and logic out of the way please? Life is not an operable machine. It takes creativity and sensitivity.</span></div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-55603932814464332912009-09-28T08:17:00.002+08:002009-09-28T08:21:39.775+08:00WTF%$^#$^#*%*&&^*&#^^%*&#^&%&$(#(*#.

Well, getting hang of university life is not something you can do within the glimpse of an eye. But it takes a while to get familiar to your surroundings. Where to go, what to eat, what to do, who to go to are all the normal questions you'd ask when you first arrive somewhere. Even though I've come to this place a few times already, it's still relatively new to me. Like people say, staying some place is a whole lot different to going some place for a holiday. This certainly proved it to me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So far, uni life has been great. Made a few friends and acquaintances. Pretty nice people I'd have to say. Although I haven't actually made any close Malaysian friends *=P*, no matter. I've met lots of people from various backgrounds and origins. Got a few local friends, few from China, few from Malaysia etc. All is well in the SA town is what I would say for now. Though, I can tell you that I've been quite a Yon-Hon minus the epic cleverness in the university :P........ Of course, you'd expect me to talk whenever I'm talked to and start a conversation when the time is right. But I've kept my distance haha....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, you can argue that I did not achieve my mission of becoming a socializing freak that I boasted about before I went, but certainly, just want to create a good base come January... when my actual intake happens. Haha..... never told anyone here yet... except maybe TS XD.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyhow, life has not been not brilliant for a while. It's actually kind of relaxing, being in a place like this. I must say that as much as I miss some hectic environment, I feel a lot better being here. Though, the days pass by really quickly for some reason. Unlike the past few years, this has been one of the quickest years I've been through for a while. But hey, all of this is worthwhile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Life is dull." I bet this statement would come to an end when you feel the way I'm feeling right now. At the moment, I feel a lot like an ant in the Amazon jungle, being a tiny fraction of what's to be the entire world. Coming here for the past two months meant a lot. It was what I expected and yet it seemed a hundred fold more. All those talk about the place being silent and absolutely boring by peers..... well, let's just say they were extinguished in the blink of an eye. A brand new horizon looks upon my life and I can't help but feel woeful yet intrigued about its emergence. It was only for the past few weeks that I realised, "Hey! Who said we're only stuck to one course?" Life is absolute. It's just a matter about how you depict it and experience it throughout your journey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can never expect anything to go Boom! Boom! Pow! and appear right in front of your eyes. You need patience and resilience. You can say that it is a fact that I had doubts coming to the place I currently set foot on every time I wake up from bed. You can say that I aspired to go to the land where I once come from. You can say that I had a bigger desire to do things dubbed better than what I was going to do now. Yet, all these claims were only left into the garbage after an air trip two months ago.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To all who feel that the world is only confined to two peninsulas with a multicultural composition, I would say I am sorry to disappoint you. Few months ago, if you asked me if it would be any difference if you were to go out of that box, I'd tell you of course...... though, with not a single proof of it. Sure, I might have travelled to many places, but nothing beats the feeling of actually being there and doing that. I guess that's where "been there done that" came from, hah? You'd ask me, "Why don't I just go to IMU or Taylor's for a simple degree and then work my way overseas.... later in life?" or "I want to study and live in Malaysia." Something I'd tell you would seem like "When you go overseas, you get experience, more recognition and more opportunity." Somehow, I have to admit concrete proof was what I lacked. I thought to myself when answering that it was true that there was nothing really much of a difference, even when my mouth was saying something else. I had a strong belief though, that kept burning throughout.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, however, I can say that what I argued about and tried to point out to each of you is still the case for me now, if not having a stronger argument. What you get out of the country is a whole new different world. You can never deny that Malaysia is your safety pillow, some place where you are sure that you are going to have a good and enjoyable life ahead. But, isn't life all about taking risks? When you offer someone your hand, it's taking a risk. When you sit on a cable car to Genting Highlands, it's taking a risk. Even when you are driving a car, it is still taking a risk. If you don't take a risk in life, you will never get anything out of it. Pessimists exist throughout the world. Why? I would say that they had never experienced the beauty of life enough.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'd like to say what WY said was absolutely right. He'd rather go to a new place like North Dakota than some place similar. I can say that he would be having more fun than I am. But still, something I would like to say to him is, no. He was right in the sense that the environment is the same. But still, even with the many similar conditions, the world is much different from what I experience back then. Even if you have a lot of Malaysian friends in a place, the things you experience in that place is a whole lot different, if you actually want it to be. Take my cousin for an example, he has already been here for 3 years. No doubt, he would have a lot of Malaysian friends and he does. However, I can bet that he has already experienced a whole lot more than what some people here have experienced. It's all about enjoying life and maximising what you do to the fullest. You can have that much similarity and yet, it's that little difference that could make you unleash your inner self and experience what's around here for you in a whole new different way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I guess I'm being a little repititive, but all I'd like to advise to all of you out there still working your way to university is that, do what you got to do. If you do well, then opportunities will come. And when they do, grab them with the quickest motion. If you ever get a chance to go overseas, never hesitate to do so. Even if it's to a little town in South Australia, or some place far north in the middle of the United States, life has not given you a better chance! Who cares about the weather, the possibility of not knowing anyone or even the possibility of not having games to play! It is these sacrifices that you have to make in order to achieve what you want to achieve. It is only with these sacrifices that you can finally experience what is meant by life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Isn't this what this blog is supposed to be about? "Looking through the window to life and its wonders." I guess what I thought would be a nice theme has certainly become an effective motto for me in life. There is a saying that opportunity only knocks once. Yes it does. But do you know how many opportunities come knocking on your door? Millions and billions! I could write a whole essay on this. Problems always arise out of opportunities. That comes with the whole package, doesn't it? Where there is profit, there is always a loss. Newton even came up with to every reaction there is an opposite and equal reaction. Financial issues, social issues.... those are just problems that hinder you from doing what you are destined to do. And sometimes, these problems make the profit you get seem so small when in fact, it is bigger than ever.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can say that financial status is a problem. Hey, I can just about write a 1000 word essay to prove you wrong. Take WY for an example. What I admire about him is his ability to take such a risk. Even if it's going to NDSU which is virtually unknown and is in a very secluded part of the United States, it is to me, one of the best decisions I have seen anyone make. I even sometimes bite myself for not doing it, out of fear and out of greed. Yes, fear and greed. But at the end of the day, he can say that he has been to the United States. I am sure his perspective towards life is even more sophisticated than mine come three years later. In fact, a lot of people do this already. Take a look at the people around us, I can see at least 5 taking this step towards the wilderness. If you even come out with an excuse that you do not have enough money, take a look at the cost of it. In fact, it is about the same as what you would get in Malaysia itself. If it was because of parents of course, I can't argue much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, the point is, there are many ways for one to experience this. It's all about searching and seeking these opportunities. If opportunities were said to knock on one's door, I'd say that opportunities would never knock on one's door if you never even make an effort to seek them. Take these opportunities in life and make a giant leap forward. Take these risks and prepare for a great future ahead! Experience life to its greatest extent before you can say that you regret not doing so. I hope this message goes across your thoughts. Hopefully, you can get to experience what I experience right now in the near future. And all the best in life!</div>Me, Myself and Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11829225429505726335noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211754555541011351.post-20907960712026226432009-08-18T20:55:00.002+08:002009-08-18T20:58:46.497+08:00Happy Birthday GD!Haha, a bit of an update.
