<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Assalamualaikum :)</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
For weeks I've been visiting my blog but, no words able to fill this
within that period. Just say, I didn't have a clear mind to start with.
Not because the fact that I'm 27 years old now but, I can sense fears
and anxiety of the unknowing seeps in and eating me inside out. The
brain can be a scary place. Lol.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
The reason why I feel more motivated to type today is because I have
this huge concern about the recent issue (well, it might be receding as
we speak) on the viral video back home. A youth splurging racist remarks
and threatening a fellow Bhayya (Brother in Indian). I didn't watch the
full video. It turned me off completely. What is astounding was the
feedbacks come afterwards. There were a massive anger from the public to
seek justice for the misbehave conduct of this youth. The police have
agreed to take action and yes, the Bhayya are now feeding on the fame he
gets overnight. It seems like an open close case already.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Honestly, I don't bother much on that. My main concern is how the public
react to it. It's utterly degrading and humiliating to even say I'm a
Bruneian just by reading their comments which obviously it's from their
own thoughts due to the fact that they can easily hide by their
username. It's funny how people seems to be okay with this; to be a
troll, a spam- a cyber bully. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
All I can see now is that the troubled youth has become a victim instead of the agressive bully, why?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
1) It's not him who upload the video, it was someone else. His action
was recorded and uploaded without his permission which is a trespassing
to personal rights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
2) The fact that he is perceived as the 'bad caricature' the public
naturally feel obliged to voice out their opinions. Funny, NONE did
wanted the video to be investigated NOT AFTER the overflowing judging
words thrown in the comments. I haven't include those who make fun of
it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
3) Sharing is a common behaviour for web 2.0 environment. Oh yeah..
except this is a misbehave conduct of your own people and as much as I
understand 'aib' is the word for it. I find it unacceptable for those
who spread this to share 'aib' of a person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
4) Yes, he is obviously wrong and inappropriate to vent his anger. I
can't agree more. Why do everyone starts to involve his family and try
to get in a fight with him? In which part it was venting on you? There
is a fine line between being concern and just blindly judgmental.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
So who is the real bully? The fact that the inner self let to be let
loose because of someone's disturbing behaviour. The intention that
comes within is pure and I believe it is not influence by the
surroundings. And that 'intention' wants to give bad remarks to this
youth is the one which is supposed to blame on. Simply saying, if you
judge the person because of their behavior and start to spread the
video, make fun of it, let others to get involve with giving their bad
judgements too; doesn't that sounds like a bully? To what extent of the
intention of spreading 'aib' which obviously leads to more bad comments
is acceptable? As we grew up, we learn or understands that bad things
happened to someone else is supposed to be stop in any length possible.
I'm really dissapointed to most of them because they didn't show a good
example. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
It's true we learn about ethics and manners since we were little; how to
behave well, to speak appropriately to elderly, handling a situation as
politely as possible and so on. I strongly believe that there is a need
to start with learning ethics and manner when it comes to web 2.0
environment. No doubt, almost everyone are computer literate or at least
familiar with the online social network through any device. Tell me,
which kid does not know how to use a smartphone or watch a cartoon
online? How many youth didn't use the internet to stay in the social
ladder? How many adults are not using their mobile phone or internet to
do their work? I believe the percentage is quiet low. We are living in
the digital environment and it is important to give certain education on
how to behave within the surrounding especially to depict proper behavior when it comes to handling this sort of 'misconduct' to avoid
potential moral degradation.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Maybe within my naive knowledge, there are efforts made to curb this
problem; educating is a life long process and it might take a while to
see the outcome. We'll see how it goes. I just want to show I'm one of
those people who are concerned rather than sit back and regret for not
expressing this. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
I guess that's all from me. It feel so good to pour it all out now. Yes,
I did it purposely to be viewed online. No data are permanently deleted
in the digital world so, I want this to be sealed. I might feel foolish
if I was wrong but, atleast I will learn from it and perhaps something
we all can benefit as a lesson in the near future :)

Blessed with the grace of Allah we were given an opportunity to continue
with our lives to see another year. I'm not going to put images in this

with posting nothing but graphic rather than expressing my thoughts.</span></div>

Things have changed when my 2012 started. With all the adjusting my so
called new life here in UK, though seemed so surreal most of the time; a
dream comes into the realms of reality. It did not gave me content and

Remember during our early days of Primary school, we had the <a href="http://toughtacticalwatches.com/" target="_blank">G-Shock magazines</a> to be purchased for a price of $0.70 in which I spent my
pocket money on living me with a few cents to barely buy me a meal for
the day. I remembered everyone in the class <a href="http://toughtacticalwatches.com/3-tactical-gps-watches-consider/" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">bought one of tactical g-shock watches</a> because it was an
in-trend (bless those days when technology was a complicated spelling.)
My teacher suggested us to turn to page 8 to read an article presumable
based on a true story about a girl who is smart and hard-working
stayed up all night to study for her exams accompanied by an oil-lamp.
She achieve the top grade and got a scholarship overseas to further her
studies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
It was the total reward to study abroad which had been the collective
goal of all students back home. The attached expectations of a prestige
university, indisputable reputation, high-acceptance and adoration from
your relatives and friends as well of the proud feeling of your parents
to know their effort was finally worthed invested. For kids during those
age, we often thought that <i>was</i> the happy ending. Things would
fall into the right place and everyone would be happy; family would love
you, friends started to express their longing desire to know you more
than and hope for a yes to be the sweet couple before the day of your
departure, enemies would hit reality and became humble which led to
forgiveness and new-bond of friendship not forgetting the exquisite
dream that you'll be rich and have steady job with a loving family as a
result (suddenly a sport car appear in the picture)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
What an imagination and yet possible to happen. I have to admit, it used
to be like that but, as I set my foot at the same situation. I
realized, it was not an entirely happy ending. It was another chapter of
a journey. More challenges and self-discovery about everything
including yourself. It was never wrong to aim higher but, to expect
things would end in a beautiful movie plot is out of the question now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
I love my independent lifestyle here. I embrace it fully because I
always seek for liberty. It is not a form of escapism; the truth is,
liberty is in your mind although you are attached with responsibilities
over your shoulders. The liberty to set your foot on a foreign soil and
breathe the air of a different breeze. It was never about the instant
gratification you get with the privilege you obtain for your so called
'past achievement'. Yea sure, have a life and dig the fun, its harmless
and yet, I can assure you the feeling was rather temporary. Like Mee
Maggie would proudly acclaimed "Cepat dimasak, enak dimakan" and boom,
your cholesterol level and fat content increased exponentially. Hello
medicine & middle age-diet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
But, if you internalised the experience and convert it into a plausible
lesson for life, you developed a greater satisfaction for gaining a
treasure known as wisdom. Data compiled to be information which
heightens to wisdom. You can buy all those branded stuff and brag about
the place you've visited but, I don't actually see the point unless you
understand the value of it. Believe me, it was not meant for me to be in
that situation where you became a manequin of consumerism. You're
giving a business a favor. Not for yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
My main point that I was trying to convey was, 2012 was a rough
spiritual journey for me. It challenged my will power plus my urges to
the basic gratification. Pleasure, lust, pride and basically the
siblings of the 7 sins were hanging somewhere nearby. I stumbled to some
but, nothing too drastic. Yes, I still resent the idea of smoking and
drinking on the otherhand, I began to understand why it is part of the
culture here. The civilised way is to accept for what it is and let them
with their culture. Reality is not pretty. Feeling numb was the worst
to be engaged with by far. The creativity block was a disaster and it
was awful for me. Pisces like me rely on our creativity and imagination.
Losing the vision was like an amputation of your own limb. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Honestly, I accept the fact that I am no longer a child and that means
responsibility will follow me everywhere. Running away wont solve
anything and solving it just didn't seem a good idea at the moment. Then
it piled up to hills of untouchables until to the point, I guess this
little kid learn to grow up. Well, finally.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Will it be an easy road for me? I don't know. I was never sure of
anything. I have around 365days to figure that out and perhaps it may
lead to perfection that I have longed for. What's more, it would become a
dream come true to return back to my old self when that child was full
of enthusiasm and passion about life. Where is she? :'-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another
random post as to mask my current procrastination to do my assignments.
I had two. Lol. Well, I was contemplating to watch Lindsay's Lohan
latest film involvement which had successfully made to the premiere.
It's a shame that the Gotti was a no go. This so called 'movie' is more
like a telemovie however, it is about the late Elizabeth Taylor's
infamous relationship with Richard Burton. Her confidante', partner in
crime, her Anthony as she was Cleopatra. A love story that fumes
destruction yet, two souls that were never be apart during their
lifetime. As much as I want to indulge in this incredible urban love
story, I couldn't stop observing Lindsay. Urgh. I know it's bad have
these subjective thoughts but, I can't help it. Her reputation was in my
face all the time. It seems she has lost some of the golden touch she
used to depict magnificiently. I don't know. I do give my salute for her
efforts. She tried. I can see that talented self in her in the last few
scenes of the film (which is regretful that she didn't applied it
throughout the film) I guess she was trying. The reason why I didn't
find satisfaction in watching this film was because I kept noticing the
habitual pattern she used to do in EVERY movie she played in:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
"Oh there she goes, sighing for the 30th time,"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
"Teenage tone voice.. really?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
"There she goes again..making love.."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Furthermore, trying to amplify her sexual assets assuming to make it
look more desirable to the audience hence better reviews. I don't know..
I just assume as for what I observed. I want to see experienced and
dynamic in character. I do believe she learnt her part and do far better
research than my ability but, I just can't stop seeing the character as
Lindsay. It's like watching about her life rather than she relflecting
Liz's persona. She got the look oh yes she does. No doubt on what makeup
able to change you into. On another note, Lindsay did made a good
personification of the age. Her wrinkles were visible despite whatever
facial treatment she did on the face. I'm so sorry if I sound like I was
appaled by her perfomance. Honestly, I was dissapointed. She was given a
chance to shine and people were looking forward for her return. Too bad
we had higher expectation. I just can't stop feel sorry for her but, I
still hope for the best yet to come for her. Just atleast a good film to
restore the faith of humanity. Lol. I know there is still a spark in
there, Lindsay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To
neutralized my avid dissapointment, I geared up my emotions on watching
a random independent film from youtube. The main cast was Linda Oh from
one of the doctor theme episode. I don't follow much on series but, I'm
sure its good. Haha. So, this film visualized the chinese culture in
the suburb of Canada. Focusing on a kid who was practising Taoism to
help out with their financial issue as help her mom's love life which
seems barren from any potential suitors with her mom's workaholic
attitude. You know the feeling when you had hot spice curry burning your
tongue and you sip a glass of milk to cool it down? Yea that's what I
feel after watching these two films. I was like "Ahh.. that's more I
like it! You have successfully made my tears fall off!" This emotion was
in vain when I was watching Liz and Dick when I was expecting it to be
heartbreaking. But, instead...this less favourited, simple with no
significant people in it pierced my heart in the final scene. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
It just shows, you can flash off your expensive props and vvip people to
produce a film but it wont hide your flaws. I saw fake money,
greenscreen images and perhaps miserable casting in Dick and Liz which
overshadows the cast for Richard Burton who I think played it incredibly
suave. He was amazing! *Sigh* I know I would comment more on the
undeniably mediocre standard I saw in that film where as I saw
perfection in the film I randomly saw in Youtube. Just let that be the
higlight of my days of procrastinating. </span></div>

Apart from my ode to the depressing month, I saw it as a a month of
reflection. I have learn to restrain myself from the infinite impulses
and pretty much grab the opportunity to learn more about myself. Yes me
me me haha. It's really crucial for me to stay grounded and learn from
it. I'm just happy that I take the first step now its time to relax and
continue with the journey...</span></div>

Journey to Machynlleth :D I went there with my ol' flatmates and
Victoria just to try the Vegetarian restaraunt at the town. It's not
bad. I love how it is so simillar to Aber but, less robust. It's a nice
short trip and using the bus was something I need to use more often. We
sat on top front at the upper deck and yes, it was the first hand to
witnessing the incredible scenery. I couldn't ask for more despite of my
new profound idea of restraining myself from shopping. This was merely a
reward for being persistent on it. Haha.. yea right.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Well, it didn't end well though. We jumped on the bus to go back to Aber
and sat at the upper deck but further behind. I started to feel drowsy
and there are moments when I feel like I want to barf. Literally. I
couldn't think straight and I decided to depart as soon as it reach
around my neighbourhood. The fact that I was going to do my grocery
shopping remains in vain. I just walkaway and rest my head as soon as I
get on my bed. Leaving me eating whatever left in my cupboard; chicken
soup with macaroni...for the past 3 days. Gosh haha..</span></div>

Well, that was one of the highlights of November. That's why I'm so glad
to get it over and done. As much as I want to be productive for the
month. I have chosen to stay in bed at the very last day of November.
Spending the time with watching chick flicks.. more precisely..Black
humour. I kinda want to watch the movie for ages and I finally did it!
Believe me, it's really worth watching. This movie that I was talking
about is called 'Act like a lady think like a man' was adapted from
Steve Harvey book. I personally love the idea of having more of these
romantic comedy genre from African American (I kinda feel awkward
calling black now.. I don't want to be stamped racist haha) What's
more.. the cast is super UBER hot! I'm referring to this mahagony god of
mine, Michael Ealy. Does he looks familiar? Of course he do. He is in
Beyonce's 'Halo' music video! Oh my.. I am so into him when I saw him in
that mv. His smile and that blue eyes pierced my heart and burns it
till it melts. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes I'm having a fandom moment right now. Aside from
Marcell, John Legend, Bernard Chandran, All Blacks Rugby Player and the
fews I can't recall now, I would literally shriek like one of the kpop
fans. Michael Ealy has a charming smile and sweet personality which can
be depicted in any of his films. For a 39 year old guy, he still make me
drool especially.. oh yes.. especially in that movie 'Think Like a
Man'. I'm sorry if you might feel uncomfortable reading this but, I love
the make out scene. I didn't notice the female cast. My eyes was
focusing on him. That moves and beautiful, eloquent, suave (enough now
haha) and tender kisses just made me breathless haha. I'm so sorry but,
really.. I cannot resist his charm!Oh my..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
I don't know why my day was about digging into my sweet tooth love on
african american delicacy. Maybe it is related to that bizzare moment I
had with this African guy whose taking law in the Uni. Maybe. I don't
want to recall if possible as it's unpleasant. But, somehow it triggers
my attention to some chocolate loving haha.</span></div>

As much I would like to criticized Keisha for waking up like P.Diddy, I
did woke up to a different scenario; waking up to Obama's winning!
Ecstatic might not be a good word to describe my early morning, who
actually woke up fresh? I remembered it was quite a hot topic a few days
before and even last night, when I was doing my gym induction, two
ladies were discussing whether to come to the Union event for the US
Presidential announcement held later that night. The only thing I can
recall before going to sleep was hoping Obama would be given another
chance to make a change which is evidentally can be seen now:</span></div>

I'm not fond with political affair however at some point we felt
attached to what had been happening throughout the years with people
around the globe. I can't deny my affection towards the American as they
were actually the starting point of igniting my enthusiasm towards this
western culture plus, this language that have been resonating in my
mind predominantly (thanks Sesame street for being there when I was one
lol.) In the end of the day, I was merely an observer who was curious
about the result and I feel relief. Personally, I don't want to take
side to either Obama or Romney because I understand they stand for
different matters which needs to be take action for their country's
sake. It's just the universal rule to conclude who would lead and sit on
that throne of authority. However, I strongly believe that 4 years is a
very short period to make a crucial change even we, in Brunei need
atleast 25 years to go through a National Development Scheme. However,
with the advanced technology and basically a higher population of
literate, educational and qualified professional growing up in the US
may need less than 25 years to accomplish a change. What they need is
integration and solely faith. That's how North Korea succeed to be
independent from the foreign influence at the first place. No, I don't
favour Communism however all these concepts deserve a recognition for
something right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
So going back to the Presedential election.. although I know my thought
does not count much but, I hope the American stay grounded and keep the
faith on Obama for now. For sure, I have my own opinions that are still
playing around my head as we speak but, I decided not to decipher. It
seems unnecessary for now but, I know by the time I forgot about this,
it might actually come true. Boh! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
I googled for video of news updates on this and gosh the celebration was
beyond expectation. Even Obama's grandmother was celebrating in Africa
somewhat. The American flag was waved accompanied by a surge of
happiness chanted on the road. Yes, it was those who once called as a
sub class; the minority that fought for a voice that they believe can be
channeled through Obama. One thing that made that 1% difference in the
result of the election was because he was clever to utilize the media at
full blast. If it wasn't because of Beyonce told to vote for him in my
Instagram, I don't think I would be pondering about Obama at all haha no
no seriously, this TV personality such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Justin
Bieber even Rupaul from Rupaul's Dragrace reality show appeal to its fan
to vote for him. He was appealing to the younger generation to cast the
vote and yes, powerful audacity proves to help push that vote for him.
That's only one part of the strategy, others redeeemed to be
subjectified by your own thought. I did mine :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
What's more, Obama have a warm character that made people feel secure
and cozy. His words was promising and inspirational, I admire that. His
victory speech after the announcement for his victory </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
is definitely worth watching. No wonder people look up to him. He
display simplicity yet this strong authority like a prophecy that will
soon to be reveal. Too much? Okay, a guy with charisma; attractive in a
respectful way haha.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Obama's full victory speech </span></h3>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I sounded like I'm a pro-democratic or Obama beliebers (LOL!) but, the
fact that I spend the whole day thinking about this because my mind was
loud and wanted to be heard. I allowed it with pretty much
procrastination. We never know as for what reason I was meant to write
about this as well the reason why Obama needs to be in the White House
for another four years. I'm always sceptical about everything not
because I questioned his capability, it's just that this significant
event have a major influence at a global level; foreign affairs,
economic development, as matter a fact the media itsef is gradually
shaped by the US and the leader, President Obama has a very huge burden
to carry in deciding what's best for the majority while a thought of
ignoring an issue may cause major catastrophy to others. It's never
easy. Good thing I'm just a minority further down in the lifecycle (
along with the seaweeds and krills haha)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> It just shows that each of
us do have an important role in everything. If no one's bother to make
the last vote that made him win, he would be defeated by the same total.
Never assume that we are mere individual that wants nothing more than
to breathe. We were born with responsibility and ignorance is an
epidemic that has become a public secret. No one wants to admit it. I
admit that I do that though. I guess it's time to built up the
motivation to seek that enthusiasm in me. When will you do yours? :) </span></div>

I realized that I haven't post ANYTHING for the past few months now. I
guess I treated my summer holiday at its maximum. A total holiday with
no responsibility attached at all. Haha. It was fun to be ignorant,
lavish and fun loving for a while but, then it hits me that... I'm not
that person. That guilt I bear the whole time was excruciating to me now
when I look back. I didn't contribute much to my so called 'purpose of
life' at all. Oh the agony! Whether I did it on purpose or not, I was
unclear during that time. Maybe a little part of me saw how much tasks
needed to be done in my second year so, it persuade me to hog myself to
instant gratification. It did made me happy but, I didn't find it
fulfilling to my actual needs. It took me a while to learn self control
especially when I heard my dearest nini uncle (or our oldest uncle who
we referred as our grandad) passed away a few weeks after I'm back in
Aberystwyth. Was I sad? Ofcourse I was. Everyone knows how he seemed so
gleeful everytime we visited him, he also helped me a lot and give
essential advices which made me succesfully achieved my dream. He would
be missed but, my situation forced me to hold up and keep the heart
strong. It made me awake to the real life that I have my feet set on.
Semoga roh nini Hj Apong selalu dirahmati Allah..Amin.. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Setting foot was also brought me to a new environment. I'm not living
with my old flatmates, yup. A different environment opens a new chapter
to my journey. Me and 3 of my Bruneian friends rented a private house
this year and gosh.. responsibility started to sink in my head:
something I find foreign to my dictionary. Ok.. maybe not foreign but,
rather new to the concept. One lesson I learn about responsibility is
not to take things careless..umm.. I learnt about it after my rather
2months old Sony Experia GO had a huge crack glasses due to my wreckless
gesture (ayun tia lagi tangan atu..baru tau) so, I had to find a new
phone and decided to get an Iphone 5 instead. One thing I choose this
mahagony god was because they have black in stock and I was desperate to
find a new phone. If I delay anymore further, it might posed more
problems. It's a huge risk to take but, I'm willing to go through this.
Determination my fellow friends.. determination. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
What is more, I did had some fun before this month started. I went to a
social for International students organized by one of our Jordanian
friends; Rislan. Haha... It's fun to see loads of people from different
continent meet up and speak different languages. It's like a salad
fiesta! French guys were lucious with their accent, Middle Eastern with
their full blast voices, South American were adventurous and asians..
well.. we nodded and speak broken english haha. What ever the moral of
the story of that day, I had a good fun :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Now, the main concern for now is whether will I continue to slack of
and remain hidden throughout the weeks of absence from posting in my
blog? Maybe. I hope this profound effort to get my head focused for once
will be constant. I cannot make anymore promises because I'm scared of
breaking it. No one break a pinky promise haha. For sure... I missed my
hometown. I missed my cats! Gosh, I pampered them with everything I can
offer. I even spent my allowance on them! Oh my babies...I hope you both
will still be there when I return next year. Well, that's all for now. I
bid you adieu. Salam! </span></div>
