Once upon a time, lived 3 friends. They were Do, Re and Mi. They were best friends and they always shared things with each other. However, these three friends, they have different bad habits. Do loved to get drunk, Re loved women very much and only God knows what he did with them while Mi was a heavy smoker. Despite their different habits, they were still best friends.
One day, while walking together, they found a magic lamp and when they rub it, a green genie came out from the lamp. The genie thanked them for letting him free and as a reward, the genie will grant them three wishes, one wish for every person.
Do wished to have all the good stocks of wines and beers all around the world which can last up to 10 years. Then he asked the genie to lock him with his beverages in a cave and the cave should not be opened until the next 10 years so that no one will disturb him enjoying his drinks.
Re wished for the most beautiful virgins from around the globe coming from every tribe that exists. He, like Do wished also to be kept in a cave, locked so that no one would will disturb him and the same rule that the cave should not be opened for the next 10 years from now. So the genie granted his wish.
Mi on the other hand wished for the most expensive, the most luxurious cigarettes and cigars from the whole world which could also last for 10 years and like his other two friends, he also wished to be locked in a cave and the cave should not be opened until the next 10 years. His wish was also granted and off went the genie.
So, the three friends lived happily inside their cave, enjoying themselves doing things that they loved.
10 years later……
Do’s cave was opened by the genie and Do was found dead as a result of excessive drinking. Then, Re’s cave was opened and he was also found dead because of venereal diseases he got from his own habit. Finally, Mi’s cave was opened, and guess what…..
He walked out from that cave healthily while cursing and swearing at the genie. He said that he wasted 10 years of his life for nothing inside the cave and he wanted refund. The genie did not understand why was he so mad, as he gave Mi everything that he wished for 10 years ago. Then with a very outraging voice, Mi shouted,”You gave me cigars and cigarettes, yes! But you forgot the lighter ,idiot!!!”

Just a piece of my mind.....
If only I knew life is this demanding, I would prepare myself since the very beginning. Well it’s not to late though to make a preparation for anything that will come. In fact, there is no such thing as “it’s too late for that”. Nothing is too late and instead of whining and swearing around, why don’t you just start something that you thought it’s already too late stuff, now. Procrastination is a species of devil which always hold humankind back. Why start something later? Why not now? It’s not too late to take a master course even when you are 75. Better there is something rather than nothing. Time is precious and as I grow up, I started to learn about something that is very important to humankind and it is also something that we always neglect. Even though it is free, the actual value is priceless and no money in this world can buy it even for one unit. It is also the most powerful element in this world. It decides things. Yes, I’m talking about time. It is very precious and there is also a Verse in the holy Quran describing about TIME. There are also many sayings related to times such as, ”time is gold” and “time and tides wait for no men”. So, time is extremely important to human. Each and every one of us were given a very limited time and it is within the course of lifespan. So, appreciate the time that were given to us. Start something new now and do things which you think worth your time and always spare some time with the beloved ones. For more emotional experience especially related to life experiences, please watch ‘YES MAN’ or ‘the ROCKERS’.
From OST to my heart….
Minutes turning to hours…..
Hours bleeding to days……
It’s been years now since the trouble you left me……
And I wanna say….
I’m NOT bitter….
Because I’ve seen better days…..
No phone call or even a letter….
No words, to call me anything….
It’s been years now….
Since anything could hurt me…..
Through this life….
I’ll take my way…..
I’m NOT bitter…..
Because I’ve seen better days….
*adapted from the song bitter by Teddy Geiger From the movie ROCKERS…. Very inspiring and spirit lifting movie…

That old game....
Last two weeks we started to play back a game which we didn’t play for a very long time. The boys (from KBU) and me played rugby. I think that I did not touch a rugby ball for one year plus. Although I used to play this game before, as I was in the secondary school, I don’t have the guts like I used to have during those golden days anymore. It was rather frustrating. I don’t have the confidence to tackle the others anymore. I hesitate every time I try to tackle someone. My confidence is just not with me anymore. Anyhow, my catching ball skill is still inside me. It was very useful for me as I played as a fullback back in those days. I use my chest as I catch the ball and during the first day we played this game, my chest were killing me as it was not as hard as it used to be. That was a disappointment to me as I realized that.
The other element that is vital for every athletes which I used to have was stamina. Every muscle in my body slowly becoming ‘softer’ just after the SPM as I play less sport just after I left school. It’s not easy to build back the stamina especially when we don’t practice self-discipline. It’s easier to lose our stamina rather than building it, just like building. It’s easier to demolish one rather than building one. A building can be demolished just in a few hours or even in a few minutes but to build it, it took years of careful planning and efforts.
I only touched on one type of sport that I used to play by not considering the other type of sports like athletics, volleyball, handball and etc. Hopefully I’m not totally ‘paralyze’. For those athletes who are still active, keep up and always maintain your stamina at the optimum level so that you won’t have to ‘look’ for it once it is lost.

I still remember...
Guess what…
Last Saturday was my 19th birthday. Birthday is something that we should enjoy and most of the people do enjoy their birthday. Yes I did enjoy my birthday although I don’t really celebrate it. This whole birthday thing made me thought, that aren’t we suppose to give presents to our parents as they struggled hard after all this years in raising us up as a token of our gratitude towards them? But the other way round happens. Parents usually give presents to their children. I’m not questioning it, but it’s just something to think about. Who should appreciate who?
This year I’ve got a Nike T-shirt from my dad. That reminded me about an Adidas T-shirt from my mom 2 years ago. She drove all the way from PJ to Banting just to wish me happy birthday and give the shirt to me but this year, my dad was from Penang but he has his own objective coming down to KL during my birthday, unlike my mom. She came by surprise as at that time, during my 17th birthday, I represented my school in an athletic event in Jugra Stadium. I took part in a 100m run. On that day, there is only a qualification round for 100m event and I was placed in the second qualification run. I was in the third place at the time as the participants reached the final line. She called and shouted my name soon after the race finished as at that time I was gasping for air. I saw her but didn’t notice that she was there since the beginning and she watched me all the time. It was the most surprising birthday surprise I ever had. Guess what… The next day, I won the 100m race. I gave myself a gold medal and I admit that, the gold medal was the best gift I’ve ever got from me myself.

Look at the brighter side....
Life is harsh. I admit that it’s hard to keep on living but I also totally agree that ending one’s life is not one solution to escape the hardness of life. It’s boring though when we live in a perfect world without problems and challenges. It’s them that make us to feel alive. If we never know pain, than we would never feel joy, If we don’t know sad, then, we don’t know happy, and if we never fail, we hardly enjoy success. That makes our life colorful and teaches us a lot in living life. That’s life my friend. You need to be at the both side in order to experience it yourself. If you stay only at one side, you’ll never understand the other side and we always put a negative perspective about something that we don’t know. Understanding is power.
Life also is something to thank about. O whom should we be grateful? Of course to the Almighty. Have you ever wondered? Why was I brought into this world? What’s the purpose? What if I were not born at all? That’s not a type of questions that we human have the right to answer. For sure, the Almighty knows better than we are, but in my opinion life is the greatest gift that God have ever given to us. Don’t be so pathetic to ask the question why, especially about life. Just live your life to the max and experience it as we only live once and believe me my friend, that is also what the God wants us to do. To live our life to the max!! It expresses our appreciation for the greatest gift ever given to us and we should fill it with great experiences. Think again, why on earth would God creates beautiful places here in this for and for whom is it? It’s for us humans!! Explore this world, go out and make something meaningful to your life. Do whatever you could before you lose the ability to do it later. Do anything, or perhaps everything!! But of course, as long as whatever we do, it doesn’t contradict with our belief and do something that is not against God.
Ibn Sina once said: I would rather live in a short life and having great achievements and experiences rather than living a long life but do nothing.

How hard...
It's not easy to become a student. Many tasks need to be done at the same time. I'm experiencing it right now. Well that doesn't matter, as I would only experience this torture for only one full year. My effort would be rewarded soon. Everything have a price in this world and we human would do anything to pay in order to get the thing that we wanted the most, no matter how high the price is. Plenty of assignments, monthly tests and less games. It's a boring life though. Like I just said, nothing is free. So, hopefully I could sustain and survive this adventure and keep fighting till the end.
