I saw her today..

Was at my friend's wedding worship practice just now and I totally did not expect her to be there as well. Though I only managed to see her from afar, I couldn't help but steal a glance of you a couple of times in the midst of my busy practice.

You've changed quite a bit since I last saw you on your birthday in April. No longer with the little girly look anymore. Wished I could at least say hi to you but you left before I was even done with practice.

Anyway, I was more than happy enough just to see you in person as the chances of us seeing each other is really rare now.

Ever love the feeling whenever you're at IKEA? Well, I ain't talking about the smell of their Swedish meatballs *slurrpppss* which by the way is ever so tempting!!

Back to IKEA. What I meant was their furniture showroom. Ever loved the feeling when you're in there? I loved their displays especially their bedroom design which makes me wanna just tugged into one and sleep. I've always wanted to design my room like IKEA's but it'll cost me a fortune to get them to design one. Since money doesn't grow on tree, I thought of doing it one by one instead.

So I started on my IKEA furniture hunt last week and finally got myself a black Brimnes Chest of 3 Drawers which I thought was slightly expensive but after comparing with furnitures sold elsewhere, I was glad I bought it. I've been using IKEA's product for a long time so I knew my money was well spent.

Gonna start saving to get my next IKEA items =)

Twitter Bird

Finally got myself a Twitter account.

I've been comtemplating for some time if I should get one as I did not wanna get myself too hook with social networking. But for now, I'll only be using it as my one-stop news update app/website, following users like CNN and Malaysiakini. Hopefully (but very unlikely) I'll be using it to follow some of my friends.

Haven't been posting much lately as I'm too stress up with work. I should probably start writing again!

It doesn't matter if you do not feel the same way or like me. It only matters that I feel the happiest whenever I am with you.

有时候喜欢一个人真的很痛苦

I know now that it's not the closeness that makes me like her more. It is the time apart that you realized how important she means to me, even when we are no longer close.

The Failure to Fail

Do we really need to fail in order to succeed? Are failures a must in life?

With the recent suicide of a UTAR student last week, it really makes me wonder what it means to fail. No one will know why he took his own life, after all he was a straight A's student in SPM & STPM. But i guess it was partly because he failed his UBS accounting test twice and he couldn't accept it since he has done so well all these while.

To me, I think failure is never the end but the start of discovering our weaknesses for self improvement. If we give up when we fail, we'll cease to discover our true potential. But none of this will happen if we weren't exposed to failures in life.

Failures are like chicken pox, it is always better for us to encounter it while we are young, because the older we are, the more danger it gets.

What happened to the world I once knew? The humanly love we had and the willingness to forgive one another.

It's scary nowadays that we would occasionally find news of man beating up helpless dogs or man trying to kill their own child. If man could hurt such innocent beings, what more can they do to another fellow human being?

Disheartened to know that our education has failed to instil basic moral and civic mind-ness in my generation. We were taught to remember the definitions for each nilai-nilai moral but not ways to imply it our lives. Ironically, we cheated our way through a Moral Project where we had to show a moral act. Technically we did passed the project but in actual fact it was a failure because we lied.

I can proudly say I didn't care less to remember any of the definitions for my SPM Moral because I did not see the point of putting it in writing. I've always believed that if that something is an action, we've got to show it, not merely write it.

As for the young chap who decided to hit an old man who caused him the accident, please find someone your own size or age.

You are a disgrace to the people of my generation!!

Every sweat and blood

Working is never easy. Actually, nothing comes easy unless your family is filthy rich but then again that's only because your parents have worked hard for it in the first place.

Working is never easy because we have to wake up early Mon-Fri, jam to work, work from 9-6 and finally jam home. Being constrained in doing something we don't feel like doing but would still have to do. We are willing to do all this just because we want to have ends meet and feed our family. 

It's only when i started working did i know that it was never easy for our parents to have work all their life to feed us. Every cent has sweat and blood in it. People used to say that you wouldn't know the value of money until you start working yourself. 

That is so very true.
