Wondering . . .

Today, i felt a strong urge to blog again. Weird, for a person who abandoned her blog for a long time. Someone once told me that she doesn't agree to the idea of blogging, because it is like an open diary. True, it is opened to the public and there is no privacy in it. However, sometimes, for people just like me, blogging can be an effective way to channel out my thoughts and feelings. I will just assume my blog is too boring and no one reads it. LOL. =)

Keeping one's thought to oneself is indeed quite burdening at times. Like a heavy stone that you are carrying. This morning , during one of my lecture classes, where i am battling to overcome my sleepiness as usual, class was interrupted by a Chinese-Muslim guy. He was a representative from MERCY ( a charity organization  ) and was here to sell a dvd containing a documentation which focuses on the people suffering in Gaza, Pakistan. The 90 minutes documentation reflects on  the violence that are happening there. Gang rape, murders and other revolting acts. The dvd cost RM10 and 100% of the profit collected will go to the needy people there. I will openly admit that i am a coward. I knew that i do not have the guts to watch it and so i just gave a little donation. Another excuse will be I only have less that 10 bucks in my wallet ( seriously! not joking ). If i am not mistaken, the people there actually practice stoning to death in public. It really is horrifying and is really beyond any words to describe.

It makes me wonder how those people in countries like that lead their life. It must be a vast difference from ours. Imagine living in fear everyday, and going through each day is a challenging task. I know I will never understand their predicament. When we are here busy lamenting about how miserable our life is ( including myself ), those people are facing the real ugly side of the world. It is indeed a big, big world and after living for more that 17 years of my life, I realized I haven't seen much of it. Just like most people, I mind my own business daily and although I read the newspaper at times, I am still ignorant about what is happening on the other side of the world, simply because I am not the ones that are going through it. Nevertheless, it makes me feel grateful that I am fortunate to live in a country that although have it's own complications, but still is a peaceful, war and natural disasters free place to live.

I wonder if there is an afterlife for us all. Do heaven really exists? If yes, how will life be? Will it be simpler? Harmonious? Happy? No sadness, no problems, no worries? This life is full of expectations. We are expected to do well in our studies, get a good job, marry, have a family and back to our Creator. And this process repeats itself over and over again. It simply leave us with no other choice. How will life be if we are free to do whatever that we want to do ( of course, i am referring to positive events here, such as traveling around the world, maybe?) ?

What are we actually searching for in our life? This is a question that i have yet to have an answer.

Oh well, I do not deny that I am a person who thinks too much at times. =) It is just how I am. And right now, I can finally concentrate on my never ending tutorial works without feeling distracted by my thoughts anymore. hehe.  


P.S : I apologize for any grammar or word errors.

JUst a disorganized stream of thoughts

     Much have happened since the last time i posted a new post here. I guess i just feel the need to express everything out and get them out of my mind. Everything will be a little bit disorganized as i am just going to write whatever that comes into my mind right now.
    
    I guess i can say that i don't really enjoy life here very much. I miss my secondary class environment, especially one that uses English as the medium of interaction. Here, most of the time i speak using BM and Chinese. English that was once a language that i used all the time became the one that i least use right now. Not to condemn or underestimate anyone ( I know that my English is just average) , even during English lessons, speaking in English is difficult for most of my classmates. It is a challenge trying to understand what are they trying to express. And it certainly bores me out during English lessons most of the time. Heck, even Mr Harry's English classes were more interesting. At least i get to watch Sound of music and The devil wears prada. I am also starting to worry about my English Muet Speaking. It is around the corner, maybe few weeks after Raya. There is this part where we have to do group discussion. If my group members ( most likely my classmates ) have difficulty understanding what am trying to say, then how are we going to communicate? If i really do get a low band, not because i cannot speak, but because of my group members, how can this be fair to me? Will my English starts to deteriorate?
  
    I think that i offended quite a number of my classmates unintentionally. I am sorry that i am an emotional person who has various mood swings all the time. My emotions rule over me. Maybe some felt hurt by my words or actions. Today, in fact just an hour ago, one of my classmates asked me in a straight forward manner, " Why are Melaka people rude?" I was speechless. Then she added, " Well, most. " Of course i felt hurt. I am not being paranoid i hope. But there is a high possibility that she aimed that question at me. I really didn't know what to say. I guess it is my own fault. I don't click much with them anyway. Different frequency. Besides, life here is so routine that i just go through day by day blindly. Most of the time i am sleepy in class and when it comes to me being sleep deprived, do stay far away. I am a cranky person when i don't get enough sleep. =(
   
    Have you ever realized that having a peaceful and quiet environment is such a luxury? Well, it certainly is to me here. Roommates can really test your patience at times. My roommates are okay overall i guess but one of my roommates just love to on her music out loud on her hand phone. And when she is not doing that, she sings. I can't decide which is worse. If two of my other roommates can use ear phones so why can't she? I myself feel uncomfortable and guilty if i blast my songs out loud..I am not trying to badmouth her ( yea.. i feel a bit guilty ) but there is others around you that might not enjoy listening to your songs. And during this festive season, i understand her excitement in welcoming Hari Raya but....sigh.. Sometimes i need to study. And who likes being disturbed when they are sleeping right? This morning i woke up about 5 plus because they are talking loudly during " Sahur " . I was really toying with the idea of waking up straight and go to my friend's room. But i overheard them saying they want to go back to sleep so i waited for them to finish eating and just go back to sleep.   okay.. Maybe i am selfish. I guess i can't expect everyone to follow what i want. I can only be grateful that the radio she brought is here is spoilt. hehe.

    Ahhhh.... I am a person that complains a lot , don't I? haha. This is just my nature i guess. There's this guy that always ask " Hey what's your complain today?" every time i bump into him. =.=" Not funny. hehe. I do have friends here that are nice,mostly Chinese. They are pretty much a bunch of amusing people. Though, they like to tease me and make fun of me. Sure, my chinese isn't really that wonderful and i do mispronounce some of the words and maybe sometimes i don't understand some words. But, at least i can write and speak in Chinese ( no offence to bananas, hehe ). And is my movement and actions when i talk that exaggerating? I don't understand why do they like to mimic me. I really do not do it intentionally. T.T haha. Anyway, they are going to KL this week for fun and invited me. I am still hesitating to go or not. Should I or shouldn't I? That is the question. LOL. I kinda spent a lot of money already last month. About RM350. I am starting to get so spendthrift. Yikes!
    
   Well.. I do feel much much better now after voicing all my thoughts out. Life is a non stop process. It can be tired at tines. At times, when my thoughts are just wandering freely, I wonder to myself ,"What on Earth are we searching for our life? ". We humans are never satisfied with what we have. I used to wish secondary will be over quickly, but now that it is over, i miss those days. At least i have friends that i have known for years to laugh, talk and being made fun of. At least i was in a comfortable environment. Now, everyone is scattered everywhere, living their own life as it is. Do not get me wrong. I am grateful that i managed to secure a place in matriculation. My only aim here is to get 4.0 flat and further my studies in a good university. And perhaps one day, just one day, when you come across a skyscraper, there on the highest floor, is my big and grand office. hehe. A girl can dream. ;-)

home is where your heart lives


A poem by Rehana Nazli

Home is not an ideal place
Home is based on realities
Home is where your love grows
Home is where you scream and fight
Home is where you live in peace

Home is where you feel belong
Home is also a shared space
Home is where we feel safe

Home is where you smell the rain
Home is where the sun shines
Home is where we bear the pain

Home is place for hide and seek
Home is where you fly kites
Home is where you play with dolls
'There is no place like home'

"Hope" is the thing with feathers


"Hope" is the thing with feathers



















"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Emily Dickinson

Life in Matrix


Time passes really fast actually.. I can't believe its already been a month since i came.Like it or not i'm still stuck here.

Life here is pretty much the same here everyday i suppose. Monday to Wed is really hectic. Up right to 5 on tues. 4 on Mon and Tues. of course with a 1 or 2 hour break in between. But still, tiring.

Sports is worse. We can't even choose what we want. Basically, I'm playing hockey now. Hockey! Can you believe it? I am so not a sports person for a start. But, hockey?? Oh come on... To make things worse, they have test!On HOCKEY! i'm gonna fail..

I guess I really prefer secondary school life. Surrounded by friends and familiar tv. At least I get to go home. There's not much entertainment here. Well, there's a tv room. With only 3 channels. lol. A it blur too.

Come to think of it, this is like National Service. haha. Difference is, I have to study here. =(

I guess my main worry now should be directed to my results. Everything here is fast track and it's really overwhelming for me. And all these subjects are so new to me. Economy and business. If i cant get 4 flat for my first semester, I'm gone for good. Sigh...My future just went down the drain.

Depressing. haha.

I have to run around the whole college for 2 rounds next week. Fitness test. And mind you, it's 2.4km. Kill me. haha.

Tomorrow is another Monday.

The start of a whole new week.
