im sitting near the verandah reading an article and trying to complete my sch projects,albeit the fact that it’s 2.30am.i got distracted/bored,hence the typing of these words.well,maybe i shall stop writing in this memorable/historical wordpad and withdraw into my shell,like a hermit. 

i scrolled from the first post to the last,i saw the product of my objective;to archive some things online lest it may fade away with age/time.of course,more things had happened and will happen but you’ll never know what the future holds.only God,the All-Knowing,knows and thus,to Him ill always ask for mercy and help.

im bewildered by certain issues.from social to political ones,etc.(in the bckground,93.8 is discussing abt marital issues,school,gambling,etc!).i ask,why do some tend to reach a conclusion/contribute an idea even w/o knowing anything abt that particular topic.or simply,an idea/stand shld be backed with evidence or rational reasons,only then the related parties could benefit and avoid unnecessary problems.besides,it doesnt require 1000KJ to ask or even think!

for fear of brain overload?

1)”Responsibilities,patience,self-reliance,determination,right mindset,etc”.im young,growing up and still learning(for sure i make mistakes,but i try to learn from them).i’ve always believed one has to keep improving in life.no one is ever perfect,no matter how good you are.and i wont forget the days when i woke up myself and prepare my own pre-dawn meal at 4/5am,all alone,when my parents and siblings were away.it felt like the dull-version of the film “Home Alone”.oh yes,the memorable & unique experience of watching the inaugural F1 night race;S’pore GP;from the grandstand.thanks dad!

2)Relishing the prospect of speaking basic German.(prefer French,still)

3)Economic recession,rising cost of living,conflicts,corruption,environmental probs,poverty,etc.these are what u get when you a)flip open the newspapers b)watch the news c)read articles online.(at least more worthwhile than articles like “how to burn 10 kilos in 10 days” or some other daft gimmicks)

4)Visiting the tranquil beach alone and de-stress.shady trees,cool breeze,waves doing hopscotch on the fine sands,clear blue sky which resembles a mirror where u can self-reflect and introspect.at the same time,to be grateful to God for His ni’mat.

5)Theatre “Sidang Burung” in Esplanade generates a certain degree of deep-thinking and philosophy.for me,it’s like a poetry in motion,artistic and metaphorical.certainly not an easy play to interpret.only after looking at the whole pict(the brochure helped a bit!) did i realise what it was all about.

6)aku terlihat gadis itu lagi;di luar studio teater esplanade.terkejut tapi alhamdulillah,ku bisa tenang dengan gaya selamba yg sudah menjadi kebiasaan apabila ku merasa malu.tiba-tiba ku rasa seakan disuntik inspirasi…

  ‘optimistic,inspired,motivated,determined,focused.no excuse to think otherwise.’ (but sometimes its tough u know)

‘im eighteen and still learning.hopefully if i reach 80,i’ll still learn.learning’s a lifelong journey.that’s the way life is.you’ve to adapt to the circumstances as they come.’

so,in separate interviews; 

mourinho: avram grant’s working at my club but he wasnt working with me.i dont know the person,i feel nothing for him but i feel everything for the club.i still feel the club’s part of me and want it to succeed.but i hope to play them nxt season and want to go there and “kill them”.

grant: do u like fish?why is the fish on the table?because it opened its mouth! 

ps:résumé is french,means ’summary’.Curriculum vitae(CV) is latin,means ‘course of life’

are your eyes opened?

Filed under: life, world — by tranquiill @ 3:24 am

Days back, i’d supper with my relatives in changi village,which reminded me of the unforgettable chalet with family and relatives.What i want to write about is this;the trip to changi.

while on the road in a secluded area,i saw groups of bangla/indian ppl(constr. workers) having their supper on the dirty and dark streets.the sight’s prevalent at night but still it startled and awoke me.they were certainly huge in numbers,big crowds.well,even though i was feeling down,i could still fathom it wasn’t deepavali.

but what struck me was the manner they live about their daily life.they were low-key and simple;plainly-dressed,etc and they were closely-knitted;ate their normal meal together even if it meant on streets.basically they carry abt their lives happily without a fuss.and to think that they’ve to do laborious jobs,away from their family to earn a living.from what i see,most foreigners living life the hard way possess impt values that are seldomly-found in locals these days.they may not be degree-holders or well-heeled,but they certainly comprehend the real meaning of life.
