Money

I sent my second uncle to the bank this morning. He mentioned that he is at the edge of death. He uttered something which is very reflective to me. “What is money to me now?” This is what he uttered when he transferred certain amount of money to my grandmother.
He said he rather wants his life to be prolonged than the amount of money. Upon listening to that, I cried. At the same time, I recalled a saying goes “Money is everything.” Is money everything? What can money do to a person that is at the edge of death?
If money can make one’s life immortal, then, it’s everything.

Home sweet home

The journey of going back might be tiring and tedious (whereby I had to stay overnight at the airport and I did not get to sleep for the whole night), but it's worthwhile.
Upon arriving, I was welcomed by my mom, my sister and my nieces at the airport. Then, we had our breakfast. This is incredible. Then, my mom and I used bus to go back to Sarikei. Then, I drove back. Bear in mind that prior to this, I didn't sleep at all. So, it was quite a tiring day.
But home eased my tiredness. I am sure this would be a joyful holiday. Glad that i come back (prior to this, I didn't plan to go back since the ticket was so expensive).
Happy holidays guys!!

Retaliate or Do Nothing?

It is inevitable that we make mistakes. But, we have to admit when we do something wrong. If you tried to do something to cover your fault, it will double your foolishness and stupidity. And, make sure that we do not laugh at the others when the others do something funny or wrong, as we do not know when we will do something funny in the future.

At KLIA

I am now at KLIA. Waiting for tomorrow morning flight. As early as 6.55am. Can't wait to be at home. This is my first time going home after almost 3 months in UKM. After 2 weeks, I need to go back to UKM again. So sad...=(
To all my friends, happy holidays and Selamat Hari Raya for those who celebrate it.

The Day After Tomorrow

Mandarin version

我对你 感觉胜过爱情
因为有你 给我勇气给我用不完的运气
其实也想好好爱你
只怕到最后不小心 让你伤心
对不起 我对你 再好再亲密都不能在一起
最后看你在别人怀里
有天我会找到我的唯一
还微笑祝福你

English version

You are more than a lover to me
You give me strength and unlimited luck
Actually I want to love you to my fullest
But I am afraid that this will hurt you ultimately
I am sorry, that no matter how close we are, we are still friends
Ultimately, seeing you in the his hug
I believe I will find my true love
And wish you happy with a smile.

Are You Ready?

We are always ready to live,
but never living.
We are always ready to love,
but never loving.

The Grey Zone

They laugh joyfully at one end
they sob pitifully at the other end.
I, standing in the grey zone,
smiling at the laughter, and
comforting the crybabies.

Moonlight Resonance

Dim light of the full moon
Lights up every part of Malaysia
Both east and west.
The easterner at the west
Weep over the mooncake, under the same
Dim light of the full moon.

Rainy Days

Not every rainy day is meaningful
We won't cry over every rainy day
Certain rainy days make us sob
Appreciate those days
For you won't feel the same
When the next rainy day comes.

Egoism

At times, we tend to be ego. When we think that we are better and more superior than the others, we tend to show our ego side to our friends and people around us. Have you ever thought of the effects of being egoistic?
In fact, what can we get after showing our ego side? Can we get things done? Are we richer by a thousand dollars in our account? Do we get more friends? We get nothing after the split-second of so-called "superiority and glory."

Assignments

Prior to this, assignments are equal to marks to me. Recently, i have changed my perception on assignments. They are rather the way of means to evaluate myself. Though the points are given by the lecturers and the assignments are evaluated by them, what we get ultimately reflects our values. Lecturers are not lecturers if they are not knowledgeable enough to evaluate their students' work. Therefore, there is always a reason behind our marks.
However, since people have different perspectives in looking at things, the results of the assignments may not please the students. The students may feel that they have done a great job and they deserve a better grade and yet the lecturers may find that there are flaws here and there. The truth is, no one is perfect. We have to learn to make ourselves better. That is the true meaning of live. Keep on learning and learning.

Friends change

More often than not, we tend to expect our friends to behave in certain ways. We have such expectations because we FEEL that they are our friends. It's OK to expect them to do so. However, they are just our friends. We CAN'T expect them to fit to our needs. We can't stop them from changing. They change when their interests and commitment change. We have to ACCEPT their change and let go. Otherwise, we ourselves will suffer a lot.
In short, friends really change over time. Unless, they were your close friends and soul mates. So, just let go when it's enough. Otherwise you will lose more.
