Berpisah dengan Kawan

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Berpisah dengan kawan. Sakit bila dengar benda tu. Tapi nak buat macam mana. Nak tak nak, kena redah jugak.

Lepas habis SPM, masing-masing dah ada haluan sendiri. Ada yang suka dengan haluan tu, ada yang tak.

Bila dah ikut haluan sendiri, mulalah payah nak keep in touch dengan kawan lama. Selalunya macam ni. Sebab kita pun ada komitmen sendiri.

Tapi aku tau, kawan kita masih nak contact kita, cuma masa tak mengizinkan. Biasalah.

Aku rasa alone kadang-kadang. Sebab aku je yang belum masuk kampus. In sha Allah 2 Jun ni. Kalau dulu kita buat benda semua ada member. Tak pernah kosong kiri dan kanan. Kadang belah kiri jelah. Tapi dah kat rumah, social network jelah yang buat kita stay connected. Kalau tak takdenya.

Nak terima hakikat yang aku dah habis sekolah. Payah juga. Tapi aku bersyukur bila nampak budak sekolah, sebab aku bukan lagi dekat tempat diorang. Lega. Serius lega.

Sedikit sebanyak, experience after SPM. Tak banyak, tapi ada.

Bye.

The Moment When You Think You are Successful Enough

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Finally a dedication. What drive me to continue updating this blog is people around me. Not the idea, not the environment and nothing to do with being famous.

I write because I like it. I like helping people. So, they don't have to to feel the pain that I've been through.

First of all, one of my best intelligent friend, Nabil. Thanks bro. You are talented but no one knows it. Introvert huh?

Next, is the readers. Yusna, Yi Ting, Adlyn and unexpectedly Leya. Some of them give good comments. I appreciate that, but, don't be the 'yes man'. At least give some harsh comments on me. I can bear it.

Yusna, for the brilliant idea. She helped a lot. I don't know in what way, but she helped. That's all.

Yi Ting, for the pleasure of appreciating Malays. Queen in her way.

Adlyn, for the pain that you shared. You are very much happy in the outside but in the inside God knows.

Leya, for being friendly and kind. Appreciate the reply.

My few followers. They aren't much, but I appreciate them. Seriously.

Lastly, my family. 

They are the main reason for me to keep moving. Keep updating. I don't demand them to read. But they made the effort themselves. And that's truly appreciated.

There are maybe some people that helped me but I forgot to mention it. Sorry.

Just wanna say thanks. Enjoy reading.

A Celebration for an Achievement

Assalamualaikum and hi,

I'm sorry. I know. I should've updated this blog. But tiredness hit me so hard. But, sorry won't change anything. Here's an entry in the morning to replace yesterday.

I need you to remember all the events that have occurred in your life. Now I need you to recognizes the event. Is there any event that celebrates you? If there is, I need you to remember all the achievements in your life that hasn't been celebrated yet.

Why did I told you to do this? It's to make you feel grateful. At least you have an event for yourself even if just once.

I know, we all demanding our achievements in life to be celebrated. But everybody got their own lives. Their own problem to solve. It sounded ego-ish to have an event for every achievement of yours. What about them? Have ever remembered them? Think again.

Look at your table. You see food every single day. Have you ever thank to God for that? Not ever missed out a DAY.

You see, if you're creative enough, you can make your own celebration. Go out with friends, buy things and enjoy a video game. Or just simply, make every meal time as a celebration.

Now go to your toilet. Have the water ever been stopped? (Not because there is a problem, obviously) Have you ever go out without having a shower? The water, where does it come from?

I don't know. Just be grateful.

If you are a good observer, you will see many things in life is a gift from God. But it needs your parents to channel it. Because we are used to those things, it turn us into an idiot that forgot the meaning of appreciation.

But maybe, just maybe, if you wait long enough, there are may be a celebration for you. You just have to wait patiently.

If there is an achievements in your life that hasn't been celebrated yet, remember to just be grateful. That is more than enough. More.

Bye.

Infected by Failure

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Today I passed the JPJ test. A bit frightening in the beginning of the exam. Because I've failed during pre-test on small bridge. Hey, non-stop prayer from the start until the exam ends maybe saved me.

There's a story behind the test. My friend gave me a tips. He said, don't look at the people on your front. Their failure might affect you during your test. And so I did as he told me.

From the beginning of the test, I kept my head looking down. I took a peek on the people in front of me, then just quickly looks down again. I'm scared.

And yeah, as I started, the exam went very well. Got 19/20 because I'm taking motorcycle. I don't want to brag, just wanna show you how effective my friends tips was.

I want to use this in our daily lives. Many of us scared to make a change, or doing something. Because we've seen other people failed in doing what we're going to do. Don't be afraid. Pretend the mistakes never exists and you're doing this for the first time.

I know, in doing something you have to be prepared. You have to know what brings other people to failure. But don't get affected by it. Take a lesson at least.

If you are scared because of that failure might hits you, it will hits you! So, stop looking at failure. Instead do what you love as if it's the first time. You are the pioneer.

Hope it helped. 

Bye.

Expectation in Our Life

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Many things in life is not as we expect it to be. This makes us to react quickly, and often the action made is not relevant. 

Some of us did not wait for the other person to finish his explanation. We just interrupt them with our own babble. Useless babble. 

Is getting angry can solve the problem? No. It makes things worse.

People have their own explanation. We just have to listen properly. Don't get angry easily. 

Expect things to work with their own way. Not your way. So, you don't have a minor heart attack with every news that comes to you.

Instead of getting angry, find a solution. Ask them why is this happening. Why it doesn't work as you are planned them to be. Is there any mistake? Just ask. No need to get angry easily.

Hate to repeat it but that's life. We cannot expect things to always happen according to your plan. 

So, if you ever encounter such problem such as being cheated or anything else, just be patient. Ask for explanation. There might some hidden truth in it.

A shocking news again? Chill.

Bye.

To Think Ahead

Assalamualaikum and hi,

There is sometimes that my head cannot stop thinking about the past. It makes me frustrated. Prevent me from moving ahead. 

But then again I started thinking. What's the point of thinking things that have passed. We cannot change anything. But instead, we cannot stop thinking. Dude, what a waste.

There is also that moment where you seems to have so much spare time and didn't know what to do. And your mind slowly started thinking about the past. Usually sad things. And it made you cry for no reason. Frustrated for no reason. Angry for no reason. Yeah, and at last guess what? It all happens for no reason.

Feel like an idiot now? Trust me, I've been through this. And it takes a lot of effort to be strong. To smile while broken in the inside. To be fake. Yeah, I do that to save relationship. And it works. Many times. Being fake isn't so bad after all.

You just have to realize, thinking about the past is a waste of time. An intelligent person always thinks ahead. At least it doesn't break you. It helps you to plan and avoid sadness to happen again.

It HELPS you.

So every time you feel like thinking about the past, stop it. Instead, thinks ahead. About better things. With a better person and gain a better life.

I hate my past entry on this blog, but I also made an improvement day by day. Think ahead.

Bye.

A New Chapter

Assalamualaikum and hi,

A hectic day. My mum made the effort to make an event to thanked God for giving me many opportunities in furthering my study.

I cannot believe it. Its finally here. An event to congratulate me. But what's most important is, I'm moving to a new phase. College life. Sigh.

I've been on holiday for so long to a point that it's hard to start back. To start learning. All the hard work. Depression. Stress. Anger. I have to go through that again at this 2nd of June.

By the way, I'm taking CAT(Certified Accounting Technicians). Quite a few people that knows this course, so the competition isn't high. I'm taking it at UiTM.

So, yeah, have to go through all the pain. AGAIN. But, I'm ready for it. A little bit.

I don't know what's ahead of me. Just follow the flow.

Bye.

I Promise

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Fever and runny nose. Yeah, that's pretty much I've been going through for this weekend. But I made a promise to myself to update this blog every day before I further my study. Once I made a promise, I hate to break it. I follow it.

That's what we need in life. Discipline. Without it, we'll never achieved anything. Because every time we do something, we stop halfway. Then when will it finish? 

But seriously though, I'm sorry if I cannot keep my promise. To update every day. Because to let you know that human are not always perfect. They tend to make silly mistakes. But every time you failed to keep your promise, feel sorry for yourself for being clumsy. Admit it. We still have time to improve, we're teenagers.

If you keep failing to keep your promises, don't lose hope, you just need help from someone. Ask for help from your friends to encourage you to keep your promises. Everybody needs help. 

Don't forget, in keeping promises, its hard. I know. But what I also know is, you can do anything as long as YOU want it.

Read this blog tomorrow, it'll be updated. I promise ;)

Bye.

I'm Listening

Assalamualaikum and hi,

The hardest part in a conversation is to listen. I admit that, I'm an ego idiot. So, to listen is kinda hard. But as I grew up, I noticed that if I kept doing it I'll never be successful. 

You are wrong. I'll never believe you. Nope, cannot hear you.

Now tell me your opinion about the paragraph above. It sounds so familiar. That's because it sounds like most of us.

That's the point is. If you keep trying to argue, and don't give a damn to listen, problems cannot be solved. In fact problems are created. 

Buy if you slowly listen to them. What are they trying to say. Their opinion. Their problems. Solutions will start to appear. It's not hard. What makes it hard is that thing. Ego.

Don't be afraid to say you are wrong. It makes them happy to know that you understand them even though you look like a complete loser. But its okay. At least you didn't win by being a loser. That's two different things.

So, if you ever stuck in an argument and the problems cannot be solved. Just stop and listen. You'll discover more.

Congrats, at least you make an effort to read this. That's the first step to listen, or read, whatever.

Bye.

Hate This Feeling

Assalamualaikum and hi,

You feel that? Your heart sense something wrong. Something is not right. You feel stressed for no reason. You goes downstairs trying to find some food, but go upstairs again because suddenly you lost the feeling of hunger. You check the Facebook and feels uninteresting. You open Twitter but the tweets seems to disgust you.

Kill yourself. No, just kidding.

This time will come to all teenager. I don't know why the feeling comes. Even you don't know. As we grow up, there are many feelings that we cannot explain. During that time, you don't have to walk around finding solutions. You have been walking around for to long. On Facebook, Twitter, Blog....MySpace (Anyone?). Stop walking. Lie down. Think about what you have achieved throughout your walk on the Internet. There's none I guess.

That's why we don't need to spend to long on the internet. It drives us crazy. Play with our feelings. I bet you all stalk people, right? But it gives us nothing but anger, confusion and depression. Stalk God, you'll find happiness. 

I'm feeling a bit tired. Yeah, a bit stress today. Runny nose. Headache.

Bye.

The MARA Scholarship is not on My Side

Assalamualaikum and hi,

First of all, I would like to congratulate for your achievement on getting scholarship. Sincerely said, I'm kinda annoyed people keep posting they got the scholarship at the social media. As a student that failed to get it, we feel a bit jealous. Yeah, I know, I'm a bit stupid and untalented but be considerate, maybe?

Maybe this post, is specialized to those who fail to get the scholarship. Maybe.

I understand the feeling. Wish you could have done it better. Wish you could do that and this and that. Stop for a while, what are you doing?

I don’t blame you for making a wish. No. You have the right to make it. But what is wrong here is you are wishing for the best that is passed already. Leave it. Look further.

Some complained about getting on matricks  diploma or form 6. Some hate this university, hate the people, hate the class, hate the 'Makcik Kantin', hate, hate, hate and hate. My God.

What's the most important is you are on the same road to success.  Except that your road is a little bit longer, much harder. But at least it leads to the same goal. Success.

Now, you are asking "What we can do?". Just focus. A pure focus that is channeled into one goal will ends with a big achievement.

But what's the most important thing to do is remember this event. This hectic situation. Remember to not repeat the same mistake again. Let it be your motivator. Let it burn you.

Now, start wishing. Yeah, please do. But hey, not for the past, but for the future. ;)

Bye.

A Friendly Advice

Assalamualaikum and hi,

"You are wrong!". Do you like reading that? Do you like to even hear that? Yes, I hate it too. In our teenage life we often see other people mistakes. Because we are not kids anymore. We start to think further. To know the bad and good of people. But, in stating our opinion about what's wrong or what's right, we need a better approach. A one that is much relaxing and acceptable.

I admit, it takes guts to tell people they are wrong. But it's worth it. At least they know. Rather than your friends living in a place with fake people giving fake smile around him/her.

One of my favourite way is to wait for other people make the same bad attitude as him/her. Yes, it takes coincidence to happen. Then ask him/her whether it is wrong or right.

If they say it's wrong, tell them to think whether they have done it before. They'll trap themselves. Because in the first place they said it was wrong.

But if they say it was right, ask them "why?". So you'll get a better understanding. And in some cases, you are the one who was wrong after all. Yes, that's life. We made mistakes we didn't even realized. Don't worry, we are still in the learning phase of life. Still a long road to explore though.

There you go, a simple yet useful way to give people advice. An advice doesn't have to be so direct. It may hurt your friend. And you'll blame yourself after that. What's the point?

Start looking for mistakes now (seems bad but whatever) :)

Bye.

Pendapat Masing-masing

Assalamualaikum,

Cuba lukis petak, letak titik dekat tengah petak tu. Sekarang, cuba tanya dekat orang lain, apa yang diorang nampak. Ada yang kata nampak kotak yang bertitik, titik dalam kotak, ada jugak kononnya nampak peluang. Bajet ni soalan tricky lah.

Perspektif. Itu yang membezakan pendapat kita. Bayangkan kalau kotak yang ada titik dekat tengah pun orang dah lain pendapat, macam mana pulak kalau kita keluarkan statement yang berputar belit? Mesti ada yang salah faham. Betul, nak puaskan hati semua orang memang payah. Tapi, lagi payah bila orang salah faham dengan apa yang kita cakap.

Sebab itulah, ramai yang bergaduh bila nak keluarkan pendapat masing-masing. Sebabnya, mungkin dalam berbual tu, ada yang salah faham. Akhirnya? Gaduh.

Jadi kita mesti pastikan, bila nak keluarkan statement, cakap jelas-jelas. Biar orang tak salah faham. Kalau orang salah faham pun, jangan sentap. Jelaskan lagi sekali. Tanya diorang. Pastikan diorang faham. Sebelum kita gaduh.

Benda simple macam ni lah yang selalu orang lupa. Orang ignore. Akhirnya projek yang boleh berjaya jadi gagal. Daripada boleh dapat income kepada kosong. Mula semula. Merangkak-rangkak.

Jadi, bila jadi gaduh, cuba tanya balik apa yang anda cakap. Pastikan sama. Kita nak berjaya. Bukan nak gaduh. Sentiasa sabar.

Bye.

Jimat Duit

(Entry Bahasa Melayu, sebab Melayu suka membazir, maaf)

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Duit habis! Mesti ramai kena problem ni. Lagi-lagi bila time cuti lepas SPM. Yang dah lepas mesti faham punya. Nak keluar mesti duit pakai banyak. Nak ayat romantik kononnya "kalau mengingati awak akan menghasilkan duit, tentunya saya sudah kaya". Amboi.

Tapi apa yang penting, macam mana nak save duit kita.

Pertama sekali? Belajar cara nak guna duit. Kalau save reti, tapi sekali pakai duit habis 1-2 ribu apa guna, betul? Macam mana cara nak guna duit bro?

Beli barang yang kau perlu. Buat list. Ikut list tu. Bila kita dah nampak apa yang kita nak beli, takdelah kita tersengaja untuk window shopping. Bahaya window shopping, yang terkena sahaja faham.

Kedua, kita belajar cara jimat duit.

Takkan nak jimat  je kot, kembangkan duit kita. Jual barang-barang yang kita tak perlu di lelong.com.my. Hias beg yang plain dengan menambah sedikit aksesori, then jual. Jual tudung dekat blog, kaya apa.

Ketiga dan terakhir pula, kita kena hargai barang kita.

Kalau barang kita asyik rosak, kena beli baru, dah guna banyak wang. Kalau kita pandai hargai barang kita, tak perlulah asyik nak membeli saja, betul?

Jangan lupa, bersyukur, sekian.

Confidence problem

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Recently I just came back from National Service. One of my friends I just met there complaining about having the confidence to speak out. To get noticed. He felt that he is invisible and keep showing proof that people around is ignoring him. Well, based on his perspective of course.

Have you ever encounter this problem? You feel that your ideas might not good enough, and people would eventually ignores you?

Well first of all, you gotta realize that we cannot please everyone else. There is sometimes our ideas might not making any sense, but try harder. People will realize your effort. But of course make a brilliant idea. Not a funny one. So people will respect you. If you keep trying to crack jokes, well... people will ignore you.

Ideas usually is not strong. They don't have the right structure because it came out fresh from your mind. Try to have an idea that can convince people. That way, you can make your voice heard.

You can also try to ask a friend to judge your idea. Because we cannot be the judges of our own. It's not fair. You'll always like your ideas, right? Asking a friend will gain your confidence to speak your idea to the rest of the group. Make a conversation about it, and if you're lucky, other people might get interested and join in. And in a matter of seconds you'll realize that your idea have been accepted by the whole group. But hey, if you cannot even explain your idea to your friend, what makes you think you can explain it to the whole group?

Lastly, try to be the leader of the group. A leader usually gains respect automatically. Show your great leadership, charisma, and gain trust. Make sure you do what you said, integrity. Easy is to say but hard to make it. Avoid making promises that you cannot keep. Be honest. And your group members will trust you.

But first thing first, be BRAVE!

Overcoming PHOBIA

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Afraid mate? The phobia you're hiding from the world. Relax. Everyone has their own phobia. Only that we don't discover them, yet. 

So, how to overcome it? There once a saying "Afraid to God, and the rest of the world will scared at you". I bet it's true. God is the ultimate power. Only Him you need to be afraid of. Not some tiny spider...with poisonous fang. Meh. Who cares.

The first step to overcome a phobia is knowing what will happen if you do it. Afraid of balloon. If it pop, what's gonna happen? You died? No. Afraid of teacher. He/she is also a human. They have feelings, heart. They get angry? You died? Still no.

Having a believe that you can survive no matter what happens is the best way to overcome phobia. Believe. Every action starts with a simple believe.

Try it. You'll be cool. Trust me. I've been there to. I know the feeling. The fright. But once we overcome it, it'll be an amazing achievement. :)

There's even people have phobia of spoon.

Facing the Power

Assalamualaikum and hi,

The world felt so cruel when our parents scold us. We never be mad at them when they were doing something wrong. We just have to be patience. And only God know what's going on our mind that time.

That's life. People with higher power often use it as an advantage to people with lower power. It's really immature and un-democracy. They think they know it all but they forgot that human can never be perfect. It needs someone to correct them. Someone brave.

As long as we live under our parents money, we must be patience. Being angry and fights back seems like doesn't bring any solution. Stay calm. Imagine something happy in your mind, something  that can free your mind. Feel peace.

Smile whenever you can. Hide your anger. It's a must. Practice it. Be professional in it. Pray to God.

Bye.

Get Your Fats To Work Now

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Ever wondered why we never be on top of the game? Never score in exams? Didn't get to be a school football star? Fail to complete the homework?

Maybe because we are in the comfort zone. 

No, you should never ever adapt in the comfort zone. Once you're in it, it's hard to get out. To succeed.

Learn to make your difficult zone as your comfort zone. Adapt and grow in it. You can truly feel the difference. Not the old you. The lazy one.

We have the most powerful brains on planet earth. Don't waste it. Use it. Be creative on catching your goal. If you fail this way, use that way. Fail that way, use this and that way, combined.

Just do it. Then, you'll achieve momentum. Keep your momentum. Never stop. Stop means failure, remember that.

Move move move, like you are in a win-or-death games. Be the first. Conquer the game.
Fall? Stand up back. Teenagers always fall. But what differs us is we get up. Grow to appreciate our own mistakes.

Remember, leave the comfort zone and be a legend.

Bye.

To Fail

Assalamualaikum and hi,

Be who you are. Tell yourself that you are special, talented and creative teenager.

Ever feel down? Well, remember you are once a winner against millions of sperms.

Make your life colorful, change the game and be one in a million. You are a star if you want to. 
Always, always and always remember this if you keep failing. Because success does not come easily. 

Make failure as a lesson, remember it, write it down and feel it in your heart. Feel it. And never do it again.

Yeah, we do need friends but remember, even your shadows leave you in the dark. You are on your own. Don't forget that.

First motivation I would like to give is, stand up and fight.
