It is 15 degrees outside. The weather can be very unpredictable here but that is exactly the mirror of my life. Be grateful always.

Make Your Life GREAT!

It is AUGUST! I have gained a lot of new skills. And I know that I am better in every way. I do feel that I can get better at anything if I put more effort in achieving it. I just have to be willing to keep on trying my best and try harder next time. Be persistent always! Continue following the steps that will be required to achieve our desired goal.

How's your year so far? What have you learned?

Restore Our Faith In Human Nature

So, what have you achieved in 2018 so far? The years have flown by so quickly that it is now July 2018. I am not sure if I would still be around in 2020! If I am, I'd probably be heading for medical school, following my heart desire.

All I want to say is KEEP TRYING YOUR BEST in everything that you do. All of us still have so much stuff to do. I feel it might be beneficial if we keep staying positive and bounce back each time we fall. I know in my heart of hearts that EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. InsyaALLAH it will all be alright. So, keep trying and let's keep doing our best. Let's continue crafting the 2018 masterpiece.

LEBARAN is about FRIENDSHIP and ACCEPTANCE :)

LEBARAN away from home is really nice! I have endured too many difficult lebaran in my life and this year marks the first happy and beautiful lebaran in a very positive environment. I truly enjoyed the journey in Ramadan. It beautifully captures the difficult, trying, challenging and wondrous thing that is togetherness in humanity, learning to love and respect each other, accepting oneself and trusting our own judgments. In my case, learning to let go ... just a little. An excellent ride. A wonderful journey and an experience that doesn't disappoint. Thank you ALLAH for the wonderful experience. I enjoyed the journey so much.

Selamat Hari Raya to everyone! Maaf zahir dan batin!

It is Ramadhan now. It is very cold outside.

And I have two (2) esssays pending for submission.

Can you imagine how challenging is that?

Another Presentatio

Okay, so far everything is going well. At least I have shelter and food despite the occasional surprising challenges in daily life. Alhamdulillah.

I learned two new words whilst I am in school. PREZI and PRECIS.

If you are wondering if I have had fun while in school? No ... I haven't. But life here has surprised me. One night, after school, I encountered a telling moment. I was so tired after my seminars and tutorials. My bus arrived. I didn't say anything as I got on and found a seat behind the driver, next to an open window. There were so many students, each smiling despite looking tired. 

Whilst I was on the bus on my way home, there were 2 foreign students who had accidentally pressed the STOP button before their actual stop. And the bus driver saw it as students messing around. He literally yelled at us and said, "It is only the first stop after the Uni, and you guys are F***ing messing things up." I was shocked. Literally shocked. I was not alone. I was not the only one who felt that way. I have so many things on my mind at that particular moment. Bus drivers are mostly nice but there are some crazy ones too. When they actually arrived at their stop, the bus driver decided to "teach them a lesson" and guess what? He decided not to open the EXIT door at the back. He really did not open the EXIT door. And when the students requested him to open, he replied, "That's local paying back!" I witnessed him looking at the students hard then as if he were peering right through them. Yes. I can tell.

I went ... Oh, MY God! I really didn't expect that. All this while, I look at the people in this country with high respect. They are so polite and courteous. Many beautiful things have happened to me when I visited this country as a tourist. This most certainly is not representing the entire population of this lovely country. My bus experience, I meant. But to keep a little note to see, somehow I felt threatened by that particular event. I no longer see the people in this country as genuinely kind, polite and caring. Maybe I am wrong. But let's see what else will make it right.

People like the driver need to get their rant out of their system before performing their service.  They must ensure that they are calm before driving the vehicle. I am unable to define that moment, that particular tiring night.

Anyway, I have to go now and start reading my notes and peer-reviewed articles for my next assignment due on 30th April 2018. Have a lovely week everyone!
