Free YoUr MiNd…

It has been a fairly long time since the last time i wrote something to reflect what i am feeling deep inside me.

Well, not that there’s nothing worth to be noted but just that, could not really get the time out to do such a thing that i have indulged into it since a year ago.

Another silly cause is that my computer is heavily infected with these hazardous virus, be it trojan or wat-ever-u-can-name-it term, what i know is that my computer efficiency is ingeniusly reduced by these chaotic thingy.

Hmm… at this very moment, even my body has switched to play host to some strain of flu virus, i dare say that. Feeling uncomfortable since i woke up early in the morning, and has since beginning to feel the rise in body temperature, despite very minute influctuations, but nevertheless still not difficult to tell.

Stepping into month August, be specific, i should say mid-August. This is the so called 7th week into the new semester, i couldnt recall what i was doing two years ago when i was just a fresh first year by that time, but i am pretty sure i’d remember every events that have taken place in this semester. Trips were made from Bangi to PutraJaya, from Bangi to KualaLumpur, from Bangi to SubangJaya, from Bangi to Puchong, even from Bangi to Sepang and Seremban, and there were many many more ‘from Bangi to…’ if i were to list down every details. Of course this is not a semester only about driving distances, it is also about a semester that seen many many more good things, and also things that bemused me, things that were amusing, in short, this semester is the most ‘mixed’ i have ever experience in life! Thinking bout the excitement that i have had so far, it reminds me of how different the next semester will be when the curtain eventually comes shutting down after month September.

Everything has been MORE THAN WORDS, and i dare say that it has become an OBSESSION that i would not want to lose away, to anyone, to anything.

Tomorrow, will always be a better day because i belive that i have the attitude to make it a better day!

You say: If you love life, life will love you back

I say: If life love me, i will love life back

I say: If you don’t sell fish, then nobody’d be buying fish

You say: If nobody want to buy fish, then nobody’d be selling fish

I say: If i love PT, PT will love me back

You say: If PT loves me, i will love PT back

Now everyone say: If we want success, success will come to our doorstep! But even success not coming to our doorstep, we’ll get it nevertheless, because we know what we want, we will fight for what we want!

Only loser turn away from circumstances, only the weak sees setbacks as failures but the strong one will see setbacks as challenges…

Which are you?

Look at you, You may think you see who you really are,

but you may not actually know yourself well enough actually.

You thought you’ve been doing things, accomplishing tasks,

thinking smart, learning hard, seeing vast;

but you may not have done what you think you’ve done,

You really think that you’ve been trying hard to reach the balance

between so many factors, when you have not the gut to tell yourself

that you’ve given up and disappointed so many parties;

You thought that people should understand about the difficulties and

necessities for you to sacrifice them, or to neglect the invaluable

friendships and bonds between you and them, You also been

struggling to convince yourself that things will not become worse if

you’ll always keep them dear to your heart, but look!, you’ve strayed

far away from them, you’ve put your own self into a different world

from the world once belonged by you and them. Now, you cant

spend  your time with them like you used to in the past, you cant

get to stop by and say ’sharing is caring’, you can hardly have meals

with any of them nowadays, you understood all the cause and

effects some 8 months ago when you took on this silhouete of

distinction,

and yet often you’d feel lonely when you’d have felt much better

had you not make that decision to take on this responsibility.

You encouraged yourself to continue this journey, when you are

discouraged by numbers of variables in this journey.

Oh my why you still trotting on this furrow, because you wish for

things to change for a betterment,

why you still walking on this rope, because you thought it will be

worthy when the final whistle is blown after the second half of the

game,

Why you still giving out your efforts, because you keep telling

yourself that the victory will be so sweet that you’d not want to miss

out on,

Why you still spending your tireless efforts on all these causes,

because you really care about everything concern them,

hey, you must not lose your way, although you’re hit hardly by the

breezing wind.

hey, you must not give up hope, although you’ve obtained magic

number 288.

hey, you must not be disappointed, although you thought your

efforts were misunderstood as your trickery spying game.

hey, you must not feel hatred, although you found that your boon

is indeed your bane.

Hey, You must buckle up and continue walking, with your head held

high, because you know what you can become…

because…

you’re - my reflection in the mirror

You may be stabbed from the back,

when you least expected it;

You may be made to feel bad,

when you are feeling good;

You may have tonnes of pressures on your shoulder,

when you thought you’ve unloaded some of the burdens;

Your colleagues may complain about you,

when your work’s telling beautiful thing about you;

Your friends may be talking loudly,

when your friends were suppose to be thinking intensively;

I may be told that i am walking on the wrong track,

when i think i am trotting on the correct lane;

I may have a stranger denying my claims,

when i actually treat this stranger so dear a friend of mine;

I may have earned recognition from others,

when i received critics from my teamates;

I may have given all my best efforts,

when i see my compatriots playing conservative games;

I may have had the best thing on earth(which i thought i really had),

when i’m convincingly being made to believe in the otherwise now;

I may wished for things and situation to go back to a month ago,

when i have to be accept the harsh side of reality…

I may become what i wish to become,

when i become more than what i am at this very moment…

You’ll Never Walk Alone, your shadow is always next to you,

KeanMing, All The Best!

When Things Go wRoNg,

as they sometimes will,

When The RoAd you are trudging seems all Up HilL,

When the Funds aRe lOw,

and the deBts are HiGh,

and you want to smiLe,

but you have to siGh,

Rest, if you must,

but DONT YOU QUIT…

As you can never tell,

How cloSe yoU are,

It may be neaR when It SeEms aFar…

Stick to Your fight when you’re hardest Hit,

It’s whEn things go wrong that You muSn’t Quit…

Show your resilence and patience,

Remember, these are what we need if we’re to win a war…

Success is failure turned inside out…

thats is why, You mustn’t QUIT easiLy

It’s Been quite some time, yeah, long time indeed, since we set foot onto this journey… A journey that has its known end waiting as the clock ticks away the days and nights.

You may call it a risky decision to board this ‘boat’ that float in the river of uncertainty, you may call this a wrong decision should you find things turning to its wrong ends at some points in this journey, you may also call it a Weak team should you find things unsatisfactory one day, and ofcos, you can call me the culprit of all mistakes when you finally lose all your patience and tolerance toward me, its all … up to you…

Similarly, you can call this a wise move when you have had a Good and happy ending, you can call it a fantastic time after you’ve learned to treasure true friendships. Then, it’s not wrong for you to say that you’ve earned priceless lessons from this journey and are feeling blessed to have taken this opportunity, i would agree that you’ve every right to say you are feeling thankful because you’ve just deposited large amount of invaluable sweet memory into your memory bank…you can say what you feel like saying… because, its all up to you…

You can call something bad as Good, and you can tag something Good as Bad, because you are you…

you decide what you want to become and what you want to possess, because … the power is in your hand

you want a bad finish, then you do things in the incorrect way and i’m sure you will get your wish being turned into reality.

You dream of having a breathtaking story that has a wonderful ending, then start invest your efforts and correct attitude that you think will take you to where you dream of being at.

Again, you decide what you are, as the power is in your hand

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit awhile with me. 

When i am feeling devastated,                 

when i am feeling awfully low,                      

the world is so cold,                                  

but i feel a glow just thinking of you.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;

But when you come and I am filled with

wonder,

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

MJ, a name so familar, was being echoed in the movie SpiderMa n3. The name MJ might have refered to the spiderman’s girl but it provoked the emergence of the image of another man in my mind, MJ means more than that certainly, as it means Michael Jordan.

Jordan led the NBA in scoring in 10 seasons (NBA record) and tied Wilt Chamberlain’s record of seven consecutive scoring titles. He was also a fixture on the NBA All-Defensive Team, making the roster nine times. Jordan also holds the top career and playoff scoring averages of 30.1 and 33.4 points per game, respectively. By 1998, the season of his Finals-winning shot against the Jazz, he was well known throughout the league as a clutch performer. In the regular season, Jordan was the Bulls’ primary threat in the final seconds of a close game and in the playoffs, Jordan would always demand the ball at crunch time. Jordan’s total of 5,987 points in the playoffs is the highest in NBA history. He retired with 32,292 points, placing him third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone[ this achievement was only attained(attainable) after the 3rd retirement of MJ ].

With five regular-season MVPs, six Finals MVPs, and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player ever to play in the NBA. Jordan finished among the top three in regular-season MVP voting a record 10 times, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996.

Jordan’s athletic leaping ability, highlighted in his back-to-back slam dunk contest championships in 1987 and 1988, is credited by many with having influenced a generation of young players. Several current NBA All-Stars have stated that they considered Jordan their role model while growing up, including LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. In addition, commentators have dubbed a number of next-generation players "the next Michael Jordan" upon their entry to the NBA, including Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Vince Carter, and Dwyane Wade. Although Jordan was a well-rounded player, his "Air Jordan" image is also often credited with inadvertently decreasing the jump shooting skills, defense, and fundamentals of young players. A fact which Jordan himself has lamented in the past, "I think it was the exposure of Michael Jordan; the marketing of Michael Jordan. Everything was marketed towards the things that people wanted to see, which was scoring and dunking. That Michael Jordan still played defense and an all-around game, but it was never really publicized." Although Jordan has done much to increase the status of the game, some of his impact on the game’s popularity in America appears to be fleeting. Television ratings in particular increased only during his time in the league and have subsequently lowered each time he left the game.

With the recognition that 2002-03 would be Jordan’s final season, tributes were paid to him in nearly every arena in the NBA. In his final game at his old home court, the United Center in Chicago, Jordan received a prolonged standing ovation. The Miami Heat retired the #23 jersey on April 11, 2003, even though he never played for the team. At the 2003 All-Star Game, Vince Carter(nicknamed vinsanity) gave up his starting spot as small forward to Jordan, and the halftime ceremony was dedicated to Jordan’s career. Jordan’s final NBA game was on April 16, 2003 in Philadelphia. Having sat out for much of the fourth quarter, Jordan re-entered the game in the final minutes, after the Philadelphia crowd started chanting "We want Mike!" with 1:44 remaining. Jordan sank his last two free throws, and then exited to a standing ovation.

No one will ever get a bigger retirement applause, humble as he is, he deserved every clap that audience gave him, now all we have is his youtube videos and the memories.. he will live on as the greatest, and no matter who comes in the league, kobe, lebron, vince, AI, t-mac, wade, MJ is, and always will be, the greatest to ever play the game.

I’m having the wildest dream in the world rightnow, tat is, i would love to read the head-line on the newspaper one day with

               " I’m Back "

hail Michael Jordan

            Friday, yet another Friday, but this time, a little bit of fun and mixed fortunes were seen in this friday.

            Woke up routinely before 6am, found my hands rubbing my eyes but the reluctance to leave the bed was not seen this time, apparently, I knew that this is one ‘special day’, a day charged with missions, a day installed with surprises(if luck blooms), or disappointments. I was so enthusiastic to believe that I am actually holding the tools that would otherwise determine how today would become, so I had to put my efforts to put things right, should I want to have it that way. Self-Belief, Determination, Desire, well, I guess I have it all packed in me already for today =)

            So there goes… stations to stations… all were eventful stations… without failing, laughter followed, I guess this is the only thing that cherished up the day, so that’s why, thanks for the company u have given…

            From breakfast with Ms Wong, to the trespassing of MAS IT department to pilot academy, to the police road block, then the moment we walked suspiciously inside the ‘Diamond Shaped’ building, and yet again, the ‘i-am-the-driver’ moments, I call that, ‘light and easy, and hungry’ =)

           The second half of the day was even more unexpected man, the suspicious phone talk on bra (u denied it =p ), the wandering in the city for the Chrysanthemum, then with some blessing in disguise, bumped into CELCOM, surrounded by image of LEE HOM and JJ LIN, was the ‘good time of the day’. Oh my, then, the eventual wrong visit to DBKL was some ‘brand new experience’, and the ice-cream, I guess I am gonna remember how peanut butter jam tastes like for the rest of the day, courtesy to the ice-cream.

            The U-turn before entering the tol was the ‘life-saving’ moment of the day, highlight of the day! The bravery to took the turn saved us time, money, the raindrops were blessing us! =)

em, the ‘accidenta’ msg, haha… god knows how on earth tat was sent out… hehe

            This day is, indeed, a Friday tat no other Friday can compete for the ‘red-letter day award’….

Today is just another ordinary sunday, this may be true for everyone out there, but it is absolutely not true for me, for this is one extraordinary Sunday, i am going to Sunway Lagoon with Khai Wan, Heng Feng, Bee Yee, Boon Keong, Jie Yun and lastly, Kian Bin!!!(the names are put according to the order of me picking up you guys hehe)

Just when i was wondering if i was late, i found myself waiting at the gate of my fren’s house and struggling to get her via phone calls. Moments later i decided to give the door a few soft knocking, look, it just didnt yield any positive results. Thank god that after another 10 min i finally saw my fren moving out from her house slowly bearing a pale-white face, but she said she was alright, oh really?? ya, just overslept i guess, no big deal( i guess this is telling something), hmm =p

Well, no extraordinary things have taken place along the way to Sunway, but we had to stop at Carrefour as the last person wasnt arrived at the KTM yet, well, this gave us a chance to walk into Carrefour, and we siezed this chance to get our so called breakfast, me, as usual,Ta mago =)  And everyone got their food, some even got a whole ‘Tandoori chicken’ man, heavy breakfast… Then the highlight of the day came, we stood at the main entrance of Carrefour and had our self-declared picnic there, eating the food we bought with great pace, while waiting for my fren. Well, i noticed cars passed by stopped to observe this bunch of youngsters(yes youngsters), and the guard also kept patrolling there to make sure we didnt throw the remaining of our food to the floor…                                                                     

After all the hustles, there we are, at Sunway Pyramid car park=)

Wow, really not an ordinary trip, locating the entrance to Sunway Lagoon itself already proved an up-hill task for ‘us’, but of course we would found it in the end nevertheless,and yeah we found it with a little bit of instinctive senses blended with some sense of direction…

Talks of paying only RM20 each person while the rest of the bill on my shoulder kept echoing even untill we were standing in front of the ticketing counter, wei, RM 45 for water park and amusement park, i said RM20 for water park, correct what, no meh? =p

Scanned through the entrance, and we wasted no time in hurrying over to the wagon wheel that had been inviting us even before we entered the theme park! On the wagon wheel, there we seen the second highlight of the day! I was convinced that the staff at Sunway Lagoon put the safety of their customers above all, as one staff told my fren this, ‘ ah moi, sit down ah moi’, because my fren was so excited tat she couldnt sit quietly but walking around in the small wagon wheel, haha… Someone told me she is an acrophobiac, but she also picked up the gut and join us, what a bravor! i am sure you have conquered the fear for height right now, see, nothing can stop us when we are determine to overcome the fear in us, rite?=)

Second stop, The Lost City Of Gold, again, gotta be persuasive if we want everyone to expirience this exciting ride, but of course we came in a group of 7, we played and enjoyed in a group of 7 as well ^_^ Fu-Yoh! The ride was great, just a little bit too fast as the distance covered was really too short…oh, got one funny little scene there, but i think i had better not mention it again otherwise she would have caught all the limelight here.. hehe

Next, what would it be? walking under the hot sun, the water contents inside my body were eveporating, was feeling exhaus ted, legs started to protest to the intense walking distance, and yet, the happiness that been tailing us kept me energized as we reached the ‘cobble shoes’, big boot that moves in a circular motion…Some were refusing to take this ride as it looked somehow set up ‘just for children’, but nevertheless, i was determined to put my weight on the ride as i ignored the protest and moved toward the entrance…

‘Then, where do we go from here?’

nothing special worth mentioning from here until we found ourselves wondering the whereabout of a handphone, followed by some running, climbing, and of course, panting, the operation of rescueing the phone apparently failed. A dark cloud was casted upon the fellowship…

Young generations are often people with great ambitions, enthusiasm, and thats why we went to the ‘long long bridge’ in the air, wanted to conquer acrophobia, and declared ourselves free from gravity =)

After a long descending from the staircase from the watch tower, finally, we have reached the ’seaside’, sandy beaches, crystal clear water, exciting atmosphere with ‘huge tidal waves’, after a short mom ent,we were already bathing in the warm water!

Bored with the water, we want to seek more excitement, hence we walked to the splashing site, and started to indulge with screaming along the way while we moving down from top with high speed,anyway, the first tunnel was the most surprising with the ‘out of light’ feature, i tot i was inside the mine of Moria..lol…

we never seem to get bored with this thing though, but apparently we had gotta move on and it was fun standing there waiting for the gigantic ‘cup’ to swing and pour down the water contained in it… the feeling was simply, Fu-Yoh!!! the positive psychological effect drawn on me by this mechanical cup made me surrender to the kid who was aiming the water gun at us, and we found ourselves exposed to become his victim as we waited with antipation for the water to splash down from the cup…

Pressing the ‘rewind’ button on my memory, there i saw us feeling the temperature the water as we again gone from earth to water, and this time we lingered really long time inside the water, until we finally decided to moved on as the clock was ticking late already, yet, our heart still very much attached to ‘water’, so we stood there for quite a long time under the ‘mushroom’, later forming a circle with hands holding hands, pulling and pushing trying ourbest to expand and shrink this circle, only ended up with 3 person fell to the ground, well sorry, tat was really not my contribution for i was one of the victim who fell to the ground, so, dont’ be grumpy =)

So far, after the ‘brunch’ outside carrefour, we merely had anything edible except some sweet s, thats why most of us were screaming ‘ i am hungry!’

Sushi King became the eventual lucky winner as Raku Zen is packed, after the dinner, the dull job returned to me as we had to go all the way back to Bangi and seal today’s story into our memory bank…

Today, certainly has been a great day, but remember, ‘tomorrow is another day’ =)

Thanks to the casting staff: Heng Feng, Jie Yun, Bee Yee, Kian Bin, Khai Wan, and Boon Keong ( may the sequal to this very first episode come soon)
