Last Post of the Year

New year resolution: turn up at classes..haha:p

I want to write about frustration and disappointment. Then again, I think being pessimistic is not going to make me a better person. However, I am still going to write about those, but in an optimistic way. Or I hope someone could give me their thoughts on these issues. We face failures in life. In studies, in relationships, in friendships, you name it, the list is endless. We set our aims, and hope to achieve them, but sometimes the obstacles will find their ways to be in that path. Some of us live by the sayings “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” but some break down and never recover. So, our inner strength and determination are the key aids in facing those down side of life cycle. How do we do that? From sayings? From seeking advises? Or the most profound way, to pray to God we will get through those turbulences. Whatever methods we are using, as long as they work, we’ll get through life obstacles. Even Tom Ford once said, “Failure in an opportunity to start again intelligently.” I guess one can look at failure as a recipe to success. Just look at Albert Einstein or Bill Gates. They were two people who failed but succeed (and bloody rich).

But to mourn over something but yet you don’t change anything about the situation is the recipe to doom ness (I don’t know if this is grammatically acceptable. Duh). Changes are needed. Especially in attitude. I say this because from that one vital aspect, you craft your life and your future. For an example of great role model, please do watch ‘Pursuit for Happyness’. A man determined enough to make us teary eyed and boosted our spirit. It made us realized that we are still fortunate to live in this country, (Note: As a peace lover, I hope all of us will not support any racism or terrorism based activities. Just look at what happened to Benazir. It’s frightening to imagine such situations in my hometown. And to see innocent people get killed). One more thing before I end my notions after quite sometimes (due to some frustrations and disappointments in life, hence this post), every time you are facing difficulties in life, don’t say, “God, I have a BIG problem”, but do say, “Problem, I have a BIG God”. After all, failure and success comes from Him. Anyway, Happy New Year everyone. Hopefully we’ll be better next year.

The Road Not Taken~~

I couldn’t write as often as I wish but when the mood strikes, no matter how hectic my life is, I have to squeeze in the words of my thoughts. Or words of my life. I’ll be having my internship presentation this SUNDAY (don’t ask why, it’s ridiculous but it’s true. Duh). I bought back the materials I aim to do back home last weekend, but I forgot to bring my mp4 connection cable to the pc (blame the short term memory *sigh*). Thus, I spent my weekend lazily eating, watching tv, received guests (:p). Thank you for coming my dearest Mr penoreh getah. It means a lot to meJ. And another BIG thank you to your housemate for saving us from last night nuisance (I know you are reading this, so just tell your adorable Mr ‘Beruk’ I dedicate this post to him:p). Okay, I guess I don’t have to extend writing that part of my life; I’m sure someone somewhere is blushing kot. Ngehehe).

I’m thinking about future. Lots of my friends are taking Petroleum while me and my BFI (:p) are taking the road not taken (Material). Well, I try not to think too much (Damn, I hate this think-too-much attitude) but I always make the decision at the very last minute and I think will do just fine (not excellent, but not too screwed up). Anyway, it’s just a few different subjects right? I don’t think it’s going to bring huge impacts to my life (Well, when it comes to studies, I always have the principle of you don’t have to work yourselves to death and get great results, but be moderate and enjoy lifeJ). Thus, I will try to be contented with my choice (There’s still add and drop for me to change my mind though :p). When the next year is coming to its end, I’m definitely going to reminisce the good ol’ days at the deserted Tronoh. I don’t know about others, but I honestly admit I will miss my university years. A lot. Life where we can take chances, have fun, able to face failure knowing we can always go on and move on without that much of a burden. The fun and easy life. I was the super sensitive cry baby once upon a time, but I think those people taught me to be stronger and to save my tears for something worthwhile. To understand different types of people with attitude that can either put smiles on my face or shouts and tears I am terribly ashamed of. However, despite all that, those are my friends. I am missing them now and look forward to spend my final year with them.

Guess that’s a pre-reminiscent. Gosh, I do feel old when I say all that. But they say with age comes wisdom. That’s the only thing I want to embrace. Together with the salary, and the prospect of a good and happy future. Hehe. I had taken the road I have doubts in 4 years ago. But I don’t have any regret now. Choices craft us into what we are. So choose wisely. Better start preparing for the presentation. Wish me luck people! =)

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20
