OMG!!!!!!

I guess people who have my FB already know what's happening in my life right this second. My former lecturer, Mr Alan asked me to keep a journal so I could remember this moment years later, when I want to tell my children about it, so here I am, writing a journal (more like a public one).

What happened? I just won the biggest prize I ever won in my life (I mean in a competition). I've entered a competition , Maxis Biggest Fan during the World Cup season, where you have to submit either picture or video that showed you're a big football fan.

So having quite an ample time (as I about to leave my former job), I've asked around for ideas. My former colleague helped tremendously with the ideas and I also got them to do the first part of my video. Thanks guys, you guys were the best colleague ever! Haha.

Then, I figured why don't I asked (more like forced) my happening cousins to dance Waka-Waka as it represented the World Cup? Thank god there was a reunion and I've got one shot to make them do it (Altho it's flawed, but it was still awesome). I'm lucky to have a family who were not shy.LOL. Love you guys!!!

I submitted my video with just a tiny weeny hope of winning. I never win a big contest before so I won't get my hopes high. By the way, the prize is meeting Lionel Messi in Barcelona, Spain for two.

Ramadhan is indeed a blessed month. I thank Allah for giving me the best gift so far. 

And the following is a video done by an amateur (I learnt how to use Vegas Pro in one night) so it's definitely flawed, but filled with the things I love the most : football, family and friends.

I am now planning excitedly for the trip and if anyone want me to say anything to Lionel Andres Messi, just tell me!It's not everyday you get to meet the best footballer in today's world. No puedo esperar a verte Messi!

Just to quote his Adidas advertisement:

"Impossible is Nothing".

After a while...

I haven't written in ages. Literally ages. Now I'm supposed to have all the time in the world to update my blog but well, as usual, the usual excuse like writer's block, mundane life etc brings months of absence.

But, as I know I don't have that many readers, I'll try to write for own fulfillment.

Ramadhan is here. The blissful month. I hope I'll make the best out of this holy month. I hope you do too. It's much more than foods and getting together for buka puasa and terawih prayers.It's a month of cleansing.

I've managed another holiday after my Eurotrip, it was to Cambodia with my girlfriends. The verdict: there's so much things to see and do at your own backyard that I do feel one should explore. Cambodia was a different adventure, especially to see the warmth of the people despite their hardships. It really humbled me. And it would definitely be a memorable journey as it brings friends together again (I hope so :)).

I have ended a stage of my life. I had fun in the sun with most vibrant people I know (I'll miss the geng kedai kopi. And the girls). It was like a school reunion everyday. Thanks guys for holding up with me :).

I'm entering my new phase of life. I feel like it is the real world now. That I couldn't afford to slack off. It is indeed a rezeki, alhamdulillah, but it is also a challenge so I'll try to grow up and face the waves (well, I had one important thing crossed out :D).

Shall end the post with a poem:

Life by Henry Van Dyke

Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back in fear
From what the future veils; but with a whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.

So let the way wind up the hill or down,
O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy:
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,
My heart will keep the courage of the quest,
And hope the road's last turn will be the best.
