Prologue from the Announcement

Time.... sure waits for no man....



My KDU Friends during Roxanne's birthday

A lot of good events, activities and memories flow around my life ever since the day I entered my college life. Some happened expected, mostly unexpected. Think back then, I really can't believe how I had begun in college from zero to one. To make things sound better, I can't believe my friends had given the 'one' to me.

At some point, you'll recgonize more and more people, widening and broadening your social network. Sometimes, you'll either know lecturers whom are decades older than you. Also kids and preteens years younger than you.

But there are some times where you meet a lot of friends that you're dying to stick to them till the end of college life. Perhaps trying to graduate together with them and have one unforgetable memory in your life. Unfortunately, due to your given condition, you're unable to do so.

When you know that time doesn't wait for your wishes anymore, all you can do is to appreciate all those friends and people around you. Do it while you still can, before you regret in the ends of life. Of course, there will be times where we stumble upon each other one day, but it's just a matter of time. Before that, be sure to cherish every moment you have and feel happy for the whole ride.

=)

Life's like that. Nothing is permanent. Not even life is. How can you expect anything to last long? All we can do is to expect everything to last WELL, SAFE and FINE. All the time. =)

Time waits for no man... Life dwells for no soul... No matter what happens, life must go on. Whether slowly or swiftly. The only things that can ease you or make you feel warm, blissful and happy - are those memories you had been fighting so hard to keep between you and those you are in contact with...

And now... after typing so much, when I think about it:


Life changed a lot for me... and I have changed a lot for life. I feel happy for who I am as well as what I have right now. And I feel fortunate about it. I am already mentally and spiritually prepared for what will come for me. Hence, by tomorrow, I'll announce something... that turning point... that fateful choice... that inevitable decision... But I have accepted it and - let time flow through me. =')

I don't expect anyone to catch this post before tomorrow... but well, you'll have a big clue on what I'm going to announce tomorrow, right? =)

Well, nothing much actually. Right now, since 13 April 2009, I am undergoing an intensive session, up to April 30, all with 8-hour classes for my subject ICT363 - Network Switching. At the day I post this, it's the 6th day of the intensive period. Right, and still counting. >__< So, I didn't have any time to go anywhere else in the Internet at all. Hence, I did not made any updates to my blog. Sorry about that.

- Anyway, yeah. I got my KDU scholarship. I got RM1,000 free from my RM8,000 fees. Apparently, the money is free for me to use anytime. But well, if I want to take it out, that's a different story. XD

- My Cambodia trip photos are up on Facebook! ^ ^ You can go check it and leave some comments too. I'll appreciate them all, good or bad.

- Yesterday, I visited Palm Spring Condominium, just 20 minutes away from my hostel by bus. Arnous, Mustafa and I were discussing about our ICT363 case study. Due to some doubts, we did nothing except for talking about other stuffs regarding ICT363 and the big 'plan'. That night, I ate dinner with them. Haha! We sat on the floor and 5 of us (2 more friends of them) ate fried rice with tomato pasta. Yes, vegetarians can eat it. The taste is good, perhaps that's the way Syrians cook their foods. That day was the first day in my life for eating dinner with international students. Will never forget that.

- Due to heavy traffic, I walked all the way from Palm Spring to my hostel. Took 42 minutes and 17 seconds. Hahaha, I know. I'm insane. =) But trying something new isn't a bad thing, as long as you stay constantly vigilant, right?

一个面试

哈哈... 我再次使用中文来打字,我想看写中文和英文的差别在哪.

今天, 我有了一个scholarship的面试.如果在这个采访里顺利过关的话,就可以拿到奖学金啦~ 不过挺不容易的.因为这次拿奖学金的人非常多,所以学院必须使用淘汰的方法.原本面试日期是上个星期四的.我没办法出席,因为上个星期 我和家人一起去柬埔寨旅游.关于我的旅行,我要拿到照片才可以做blog.回到重点吧,我还以为interview的人只有我而已.当我 A&B 的时候,我竟然看到我以前的同学,她也是在今天interview.就这样,她先被面试.接着到我.一开始,他们问的问题都很容易回答.直到他们问一道问题为止.

"为什么我们必须给你这个奖学金,而不是刚才那位女生呢?"

难道,这个奖学金,不是我拿就是她拿吗?这么说,我们正在互相竞争!在这种情形而言,他们不是看你多么合理, 而是看你多么有自信可以胜过对方.是的,如果我说:"各有各的才能,不能互相比较,要给谁就给谁,不由我来决定."的确很合理,很有道理,但是,你认为他们肯把奖学金交给你吗?如果在两个人之中,另一个人说:"因为我相信我有能力做到,若我要拿每个科目满分我一定能够得到.我也有把握,在才能方面我能够战胜刚才的那个人.所以我应该得到这个奖学金."这个自私自利的回答,看起来很过分.就是这种自私但充满自信的答案,才能说服他们把奖学金给你呀!你可以选择追求奖学金的欲望而"背刺"对方;你也可以选择合理性的回答来救你的朋友.

你要那个奖学金吗?还是要给别人?

我很讨厌这种针对性的问题.我真的很讨厌!为什么人必须选择这种针对性的方式来得到利益?世界真的很现实,实在太现实了.要帮别人,就要害自己;要帮自己,就要害别人.最后,我给的回答,让我非常看不起自己.你都可以看不起我.因为,我很自私.

如果世界是现实的,人值得自私吗?
