when our eyes meet

It is true what people said, when the eyes meet - it will come down to the heart. It is electrifying.

Meanwhile..

It has been a long time since my lost post since my company blocked the certain websites. Now, I am able to surf freely, thanks to the software that I can unblock everything. So, what I am up to?

1) I just come back from lovely Pulau Perhentian.
2) Up to today, I have read 42 books and my current reading is the classic - The Great Gatsby. Another 58 books to go before this year ends.
3) I write few stories offline entitled The Regret. It is just a random thought that I wrote because of people who regret for taking engineering during their study.
4) Work still same as usual, going outstation there and there - I just got back from Johor before I went to Pulau Perhentian.
5) I join Goodreads and will try to active as I can.

That's all I can think of. Proschay!

Out of nowhere

I still remember when I wasn Form 5, there was a girl in my class and she was just come to our school and transferred. She was our Principle daughter at the school but she was different from us. During our class, there was a teacher who asked if anyone got question or got anything that we don't understand but usually, our response is nothing, All of us will kept quiet and just looking at book or anything, because everyone don't know what to ask or do. It is just that maybe the subject of the history did not fascinated us by that much but just out of nowhere, there she was - the new girl raised her hand and asking the questions to the teacher. At that moment, all of us just looked at each other and feel the awkwardness because we never asked the question when teacher asked. It is just a rhetorical questions and you are not even to answered it. That is what our impression on what we have been told to do so. It is just out of nowhere, the girl started to ask questions.

Have you ever the one who raised the hand and asked teacher question? If not, you should start doing it and ask question. Asked anything because the more you asked, the more you will understand. Another impression that come upon me, the dumb question. Never let people to judge you, let them. Believe me, there is no stupid questions and you can asked anything. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinions and stand by it. People were afraid if they were labelled as stupid when asked questions in the class. It is not just the way, and honestly - it is the normal way of learning process. Even in the real life, we keep asking and asking. For what? It is for our better understandings of process. So, never feel stupid but proud, because not everyone has the gut to asked questions. One more thing, everybody has different pace of studying or different style. Maybe you are gifted, the way you learnt are through asking questions. Then, ignore everybody and raise your hand and ask question before it is too late.

Green

I was using polystyrene cup last time to drink plain water in the pantry because I forgot to bring my cup. The polystyrene cup was supply by my workplace for the customer to use in case they wanted to drink hot beverages. Then, after I used it, I am supposedly to throw the polystyrene cup but instead, I keep it so that I can use it again in the future. The woman saw me, I am good for saving the company budget but honestly, I am doing it because I love for going green. Even if it is small, but it is the least I can do to save the environment.

missing my call

I guess I miss my calling. I don't know why only now I realized about things that I do enjoy the most. I don't know if I am supposedly to be an engineer. I don't know.

1) I love books. I love to give my opinions and summary of books that I have wrote. I love spent my leisure times with reading books. I would rather people paying for me to read their books and give review. Maybe I should try looking for a part time job, maybe to ask if they have a column, maybe for public to voice out their opinion about the books that they have read. I am open to everything. It was not such a bad idea.

2) Photographer. This is rather another hobby of mine and I started it last year and I pretty satisfied because I have taken thousands of beautiful pictures, of course up to my opinion. I love to travel anywhere in this world and taking pictures. With the Fujifilm XT10 - I have learnt everything about how to take a better pictures - just to satisfy my needs. Maybe someday, I can ask the National Geographic if I can be on their team. It would be awesome and this is just what I imagine for being the National Geographic photographer - chasing the aurora borealis or northern light as to experience one of the amazing phenomenon, to be able to photographed the people around the world and share their story, to bring photography to another level with the visiting interesting place in the world such as savannah, antartica, mexico, japan and etc etc.

3) Lecturer - I love studying new things. Just tell me anything and if it is in the circle of my interest, I will study and teach if I can. I want to be a lecturer, maybe math or science subjects - because I am in love with the subjects that can brings benefit for us in the future. I am not saying that subjects as language or history were not good enough but believe me, I found people who can speak many languages are fascinating me and history can be intimidated at the same time. Just of course, people love certain subjects and for me, it is science and math.

4) The last one, the impossible one due to commitment to the family and logical thinking, How awesome it would be if I can achieve the last one. Imagine to keep on working as much as you can, as harder you can for 10 years and after that, you sold everything that you have and save the money that you have with you and travelling all over the places in the world. Let's see what I have in mind, first I want to go to Russia to see the places where the author Leo Tolstoy come from, for when he wrote about Anna Karenina, the majestic work from him. Then, I would like to visit all beaches in Sabah, my hometown and also in Thailand. Then, lets travel to the most remote places in the world - New Zealand to chase after the northern lights and to visit the cave with glitter plankton. Then, how about visit the place which is the center of Islam, Makkah and Madinah. Maybe one day, we will visit Spain for the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba for its piece of history and Brazil, the place which famous for its sambe - the most exotic places in the world to experience the culture and visit Italy, Istanbul and Iceland. Then, Europe is a must - I will go to London first, to visit the St Paul  the place where Princess Diana get married, then we went to Paris to visit Eiffel Tower and next, how about the Amsterdam - to visit Anne Frank house and I will not leave Connecticut, United States and have a warner bro field trip to Stars Hollow. So, basically - it is just roughly for what I am thinking to do if I am able to do the number four.

However, here I am - stuck with my job and honestly, I am grateful for my job and lucky to have job as engineer and for whatever reason, He plans better than me. So, appreciates whatever you have in front of you and have faith for this one, everything will come handy in the future. That is just the way of life, you will expect the unexpected in the future because as always, His plan is the best.

The story that was left behind

Recently, these two - PTPTN and CCRIS, it is discussed in the social media how more than one millions still haven't paid yet their loan and resulted in blacklisted by the CCRIS and this might be a problem later when you are applying for loan.

Believe or not, I am among the people who applied for the PTPTN to support my financing in UTP Perak. During the first year, I still remember the hardships of applying and filled in the forms page by page and understanding the terms for the PTPTPN loan. I told myself that this loan is just temporary, maybe later I can try to apply for MARA, JPA or any scholarships that are available to fund and support my study here in UTP. Unfortunately, I am not lucky enough to score me even one scholarship. I also still remember during the my second semester and I try my best to score for JPA scholarship so I don't have to depend on PTPTN and my parents' money. The day for the results for shortlisted were come out and unfortunately, I failed. It was Ramadhan month, I remember called my mom during the Sahur because my mom is the only person who always be there for me and listen to me. I even cried when telling her that I don't landed the JPA scholarship and I guess it is one of the saddest moment in my life because I keep my hope high for this one because as myself, I don't want to depend to my parents' money because I know my family and I know how hard they saved money just for me to pursuit my study in UTP. What break me the most is knowing that even I still have the money from the PTPTN, it will not be enough for me since I was in private University and knowing that the fees and everything were expensive and at the end of the semester, I will have to ask money from them. I feel embarrassed asking them for money because I know they need it more than me but still, my mom - she will give me money instead even I haven't asked. Then, another opportunities come - as PTPTN implemented for those who graduated first class honour will be exempted of paying back the loan. It give me a big and new hope for me because rather of paying back the PTPTN loan, I can give it to my mom. Starting from that moment, I promise myself that I will try my best to score and even better, to get the dean's list every semester. I try my best to keep my performance and keep a standard for me to achieve and every semester, the standard for me is getting higher and higher because I know I can go really far if I want to pursuit it and Alhamdulillah, on October 2014 - I know I made my parents and family proud with me, for keep pursuit whatever I want in my life and graduated from the University Teknologi Petronas with the first class honours. So, the dream is achieved and here I am, standing tall proudly with my scroll and I know from that moment, I can achieved anything I want.  I can go higher as mountains if I have the right motivation and I can go deeper to the sea as long as I have the determination. The barriers will be always in front of you, but take it as challenges because that is just the way, us as human to learn from the past mistakes and experiences.

A little vacation

How often you spent a little time for you, just out of any occasion? or any celebration? I am so in the mood for a little vacation, just for me. I am not talking spending the weekend just staying at home and read books and watch some movies. I am talking about a short vacation, maybe to a little place just to steer out the boredom and wipe out the stressing thing that I am experienced sometimes. Why in need for vacation? Because it is a dream of me, just to be away from everything and spent a precious little time and alone. It would be nice just to come out and reach the nature, spent some time with the river and sea, with the elements out of there because it is fascinating where you do realizes what you are missing all of these times. It is a given gift from us, to be appreciated and to be enjoyed. With the climate which is not getting better and the temperature keep on rising, plus with the El-Nino phenomenon made everyone of thinking to stay indoors rather than take a little vacation to the jungle or sea. Take it as a little treatment and time to our self, thinking how well you spend the time with everything. It is well managed? Between your family? Work? Friends? Life partner? How it is going? Did I spent the time wisely? This is the time where you will create a little incarnation for you. Create a new one for yourself, for a better one. When you come out from the little vacation, you will come out a better person. You will more appreciate people. respect nature and life. It is a new brand of you, I will called it as a re-branding for the better purpose. So, take a little time and start planning for a little adventure and vacation, just for yourself.
