Graduation 09!

back to kuching last weekend, attended MY graduation!
on the way BACK, my heart sank..
suddenly felt like the memories in unimas kept on flashing back again,
our orientation week during first year,
so so many funny moments during class, some silly jokes of lecturers, pranks,
"illegal" activities, go fast foods, hantam hartz and hornbill steamboat ....
those were the days..
playing like a film without sound..

This day is what we were aiming for for those 3 years
these 3 years just flashed by
all the best to all my bestfrens, frens, coursemates,
my amazing roommates-tommy, weijian and lingsiong (how i would survive without snatching food from u all, hahaha),
and to all whom i knoe..

in front of BHEP, i just LOVED this pic!

in front of our faculty............

guess wat, doing this is AMAZINGLY FUN!!


my bros, who involuntarily became my photographers as v toured them around in UNIMAS
just cant live without them!

lol

found this van at kt, haha, STD marketing? i thought ppl r trying to avoid STD??? lol

You..

YOU

A swift glance of you and it made me sway

Brushed through you and I felt the breezes of May

I tilted my head back to take another peek

What was it in your heart you seek?

Could it be a good and attentive listener?

Or perhaps a gentle pat on your shoulder

Maybe time is on your side

Maybe the weather today just don’t seem right

I pushed myself harder and took a turn

For I believed in something beyond reasons

That a hunch may means so much

It even beats the beautiful spring of March

And so nervously I held out my hand

Greeting you right before the yellow bus stand

You shook my hand and instantly I knew

There is more waiting to be continued….

ordinary miracle - sarah mclaclan

It`s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when it`s time to snow,
Don`t need to teach a seed to grow,
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you every day
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own love.

Isn`t it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds are meant to have their flame
They always make it home on spring
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up everyday
Please don`t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
`Cause we are all a part of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle,
Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
The things just work out after all
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

It`s just another ordinary miracle today.

(some nice forwarded msg)

nice story too! - why mothers cry

Why Mothers Cry...

"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom.

"Because I'm a mother," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His mom just hugged him and said, "You never will!" Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry. So he finally put in a call to God and when God got on the phone the man said, "God, why do mothers cry so easily."

God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come from their children.

"I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their families through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

"I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt them very badly. This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better and helps them share a teenager's anxieties and fears.

"I gave them a tear to shed. It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed. It's their only weakness. It's a tear for mankind."

nice story - people in our life

People In Our Life


During my second month of school, our professor gave us a pop quiz.

I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely, this was some kind of joke.

I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also spoke to her, learned her name and said Thanks!

YOu

YOU

you came busting into my life
with a tag of 'friend' in your hand
you closed some doors behind
and joined me on this journey never-end

we stormed through problems
and sailed through some pains
and amidst all these
there's still laughter to be gained

i thought spring is forever
and flowers aren't only May's
but suddenly its winter
and everything start to wither away

you have guided me through some darkest paths
and i trust you with all my life
with joy and faith we walked over
with courage we jumped and dived

yet now you are the one walking
towards the edge of ego and pride
i can picture how and when you will be falling
your pride just veiled the signs

i held out my hands countless of times
if you could just accept
its a token of friendship, a token of care
i'm not doing it, just so to repay my debts

we just get to live life once in this world
and i chose to share it with you, my friend
let others into your life too
i wish you the best till the very end

Something interesting to ponder....

I asked God

I asked God to take away my habit

God said, No.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, No.

His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No.

Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;

It isn’t granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No.

I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No.

You must grow on your own,

But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said, No.

I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me.

God said…

Ahh, finally you have the idea.

Ieda! u conquered terengganu too??

Ieda!!!!

Look what i have found?! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

U have came and conquered terengganu long before we came here? lol.... haha

Missing uni + walkthrough (limited edition)

Lookin' through those old pics (only left 2 months, haha, already missing there), and suddenly i start missing unimas, huhu....

the front gate of unimas

(p.s: guess wat, i took this pic on the last day on the way to airport, flying away from unimas forever, and yet this is the first time i took pic of unimas's front gate, hahaha, and FYI, this is the first thing that had made a damn good impression for unimas in my mind when i first reached this university, bravo!)

erm, maybe i give you guys a walkthrough from my residential college (kolej bunga raya- literally means hibiscus college, ;P) to my faculty, hehe, then throughout unimas (if i have those photos)



first of all, walking out of my college, this is what you will see. A temporary bus stand on a crossroad, with a huge man-made lake in the opposite, and there is where my faculty is.

walking ....... nice scenery huh

after 3-5 min (normally jus right after u finished listening to a song, hehe), you will reach this humongous penang bridge-like thingy. This is the bridge linking my residential college with my faculty.. the path i walked day n night for nearly a year (it was built a year or so ago)

after crossing the bridge, the stone path will guide you to a nice hangout place of students- the cafeteria. And , behold, the big giant building is actually a water tower... amazing huh.. lol

this is the inside of the cafeteria, it is actually open-air.


from the cafeteria, the first faculty in front is the IT faculty. Ya, there's a shorter path to my faculty, but it just so happened i wana walk to that faculty to have a drink
the inner part of FIT

inside FIT

out from FIT, walking towards my faculty.

Hey, i din't noticed these things were here before, looks brand new! a step closer to saving mother earth!

The leaning tower of FIT.

Just right in front of FIT is the engineering faculty. Ou, and all the faculties' buildings have unique designs.

an open-air space between FIT and my faculty. dono what it symbolises though.. (sadly)

Ou, and they have the letter 'God' erected. Cool huh.. reminding us that be thankful for He bestoweth knowledge and faculties to all of us.

Ahh.... finally, my faculty


this is the front view of my faculty.... huhu... have been walking in and out of this space for thousands of times (or so i think, kekeke), kinda missed it now

a last walk

Ou, and don't forget these weird looking flowers planted just beside the faculty's entrance! hehe


that's all for this post, will cont. on with the inner part of FSTS 2ml, cheers!

Revitalisation attempt 2 - A plea

A PLEA

The night is dark

I couldn’t see

Hope for a spark

No one hear my plea

The wind is blowing

Cold and strong

Goodness sake I’m freezing

No where I belong

Tomorrow’s undefined

Today’s worst than hell

Not just a state of mind

O God I need some help

A lone soldier

I don’t wanna be

Send me an angel

Always beside me

He need not be wise

He need not be strong

For me to be precise

Just beside me all along…

(p.s: damn, this is so long ago! i still remembered writing this after being through a terrible morning in school... missed school days ... T.T)

1st revitalisation attempt - Angel

ANGEL

I thought there's an angel lookin' over me
always keeps me safe and company
whenever triumphs troubles me
he'll say" buckle up! go for victory!"

Thought i saw a halo above him
a guiding light that'll never dim
he showers courage down and make it seems
like this journey of life has just begin

time passes and slowly i realised
that that angel isn't there to fight
maybe he is summoned to His side
just temporary out of my sight

Yet, days passed followed by years

agony filled my heart, apart from fears

a boat without guidance is hard to steer
i'll sway, i'll stray, for this i fear

as i starts to look back at my life
i've found the source that motivates me to strive
the shinning torch that've shone my night
the north star along the path to show that i'm right

Everything's an illusion, there's never a thee
It's me all along and only me,
with my shadow that's all i can see.
Goodbye my angel, hope u'll be free......

Reviving memories

yupz, i used to have a blog (i lied bout that earlier, ;P), haha, and thats where i put all my works and stuffs... going thru it today, and was thinking, 'mmmmm, maybe they need to be conjured back into this world again thru a new window'... 'owhhh, wat a brilliant idea!', i praised myself for such a brilliant thought... >.<
well, here goes ........

p.s: just so you know, those created by me have my name, time and date underneath it.. enjoy!

Saddened

this is what actually triggered me to start writing a blog.

It all started with a gloomy day. The weather was weird, with times of rain and shine..

And while watching the news of how many Britain soldiers were killed by the tallibans, and how Britain soldiers tortured some innocent peoples, suddenly a friend of mine voiced out and say with a tone of anger and furious,"nanti kita seksa mereka,".. i was utterly shocked by this sudden statement of his, REALLY.

How can a normal youth these days talks about torturing or even taking someone's life so easily, like it was all just a play. Imagine what steps will be taken if this statement is what is in the mind of a country ruler. Let me draw it out to you, we will have never ending wars, and much more torturing and sufferings. As easy as that. Even a nine year old can tell you this.

'Its their fault, they intruded people's land, their should suffer the consequences' - is this necessary? 'they started it first' - is it even rational? Every life is precious, special, and sacred, cant you see? Even when you say "its just an expression", it ISN'T. It isn't just an expression, its a reflection on the world today, on how things have became. 'An eye for an eye', will this solves everything? time has changed, humanity has grown so much that we have the capacity and capability to overcome hatred and prevent vengeance. We are not kids anymore.

The world is advancing, humanity is advancing. Material and spiritual advancement have to occur hand in hand so that everything is kept in balanced. Vengeance won't solve anything. Learn from the past, brother. It will only brings to those vengeful dwellers a chains of continous, endless battles and suffering.

Ponder this,

'When a thought of war comes, oppose it with a stronger thought of peace; a thought of hatred must be destroyed with a more powerful thought of love.' -Abdu'l Baha

The world WILL be a better place i believe.

a new window

i have opened a new window
and with it closed a few behind
hopefully it takes away sorrow
and bring soft breezes into this life of mine

i have opened a new window
a window for the world to see
that in my life there's a meadow
blooming with flowers of variety

i have opened a new window
a window to shout out loud
that when time is of essence
i can easily reach the crowd

i have opened a new window
a space and place for me to stare
up upon the starry starry night
and be amazed by aurora glare

a window for wacky dreams to fly
a window for butterflies to flutter by
a window for the sun to shine
on the path of you and i
