Life Is Full of Contradictions...

Salam..

It has been a great day so far, and I hope that it will continue to be so. Thinking back to the years I've gone through, this life has been so full of everything, it's like a potpourri of life's experiences. I've been happy, I've been sad, I've felt confused, I've felt angry, I've felt cherished.... You get the drift.. =)

And as much as I hated feeling all those negative things, I know that as humans we will never be able to escape them. And I'd like to think that going through all those makes me stronger somehow; and this is thoroughly necessary coz human's experiences will always go from bad to worse as time goes by.

I'm not saying this coz I'm pessimistic; on the contrary I try to watch things on the brighter side.

Seeing the glass half-full rings a bell?

So, whatever life throws at you, take time to grieve@sulk@rebel, but always keep in mind that it won't always be so mundane and dreadful.

Be happy, and live life to the fullest!!




PS : Thanks to all who wished for my health, long-life and prosperity.. Thanks for waiting up to the twelfth hour just to do so, and thanks for everything.

May life brings us lots of smiles, always, forever.
Love y'all!!



And yeah, I'm 22 years old now, (although I don't think I've already evolved into someone that matured, but lets start with a step, okay? And may our friendship lasts forever!

Gambatte ne!

When Life is Hectic, Go On and Take a Breather...

Salam..

How's life been?? I know a lot of my friends have begun to feel the immense pressure coming from the fact that there's just a LOT of things to do in so little time! And sometimes we feel so sad and angry coz so much time is lost doing these without leaving any to enjoy ourselves.

Well, my advice, do take a break.. Because when we are pressured, our behavior and our perspective tends to point a bit to the negative side, and we won't be able to give our all to the very things that cause those pressures in the first place. And yes, there are people who work better under pressure, care to share your secret?

Another thing is that when 2/3 of the major projects this semester being a group project, it's very important to be able to adapt and work well in a team. In a sense; teamwork. But sometimes, it is hard to do that when instances happen that made you feel like a wreck.

I'm not making sense, am I?

Well, I am naturally a cheerful person. I don't like to raise my voice to people, I don't like to scold anyone, and I certainly don't try to find people's mistake all the time. So, naturally I expect people to do the same for me.

So what if I made a mistake once in a while? There's a lot of things that I can tolerate, but rude people just don't cut it.. I admit I have my ego.. Once you try to stoke it, I will never treat you the same ever again.

Haizz..... Why do people always tend to do silly mistakes like this? After years of working alongside people of different views and upbringing, we would expect everyone would go along -ok- with each other, but when things like this happen, it tends to make us wonder..

Still, during this busy, hectic life, it doesn't hurt to take a breather once in a while.. Last Tuesday, my friends and I went to release our pent-up frustrations and tensions by hitting the bowl..

Eyh?

Hehe.. Playing bowling, I mean.. Hehe.. It was a spur of the moment decision, with Miss A voicing out her thoughts and demanding (ehehehe...) us to comply.. LoL.. So, Miss Z, Miss W (who is wearing a jubah that day) and me (while wearing my baju kurung) went to the place..

=)

It felt so nice to be able to play again.. Hehe.. I'm a bit out of practice but the keyword here is not actually to win, but to enjoy myself.. And I know my friends did too!! We mock-fight with the kids playing beside our lanes (one of 'em is really good.. =p), accidentally laughed when the showing-off people on another side of ours missed his shot (hehe.. Not my fault, Miss A snorted first.. LoL), posing like a pro bowler while wearing a not-so-professional-clothing-at-least-to-a-real-pro-bowler, displaying an erratic show of throwing (and I mean throwing, literally..) the ball and so much more.

Wish we would be able to do so again. =) Sorry didn't post up pictures (beside the one down there) coz afraid Miss A, Miss Z or Miss W would wring my neck if I do so.. Haha..



The Scores... =) Guess who's winning?? LoL..


That said, do take a break people!!
And you don't always need a Kit-Kat to do so..

All d best!
And have fun doing all the assignments and projects.

<1>

This was taken in the first year if I'm not mistaken.. Haha.. 3 guesses as to *where* this is taken, though the first 2 won't count.. =p

To quote an anonymous person, "Biasa-lah tu.. Perempuan..... Kalau bergambar, kat mana2 pOn boleh..." =)


<2>

This one is taken @PD.. We were the *ahem* nicest facillitators ever!! LoL.. It's actually during my college's computer club interaction day. This is the high committee members being silly as usual.. Miss them all so much!!



<3>
This time the gang was coming to USM as the supporters for UKM chem-e-car team.. This was taken while we were waiting for our room keys from the hotel's administration.. Tired face, is it? Hehe.. We were 'conserving' energy for the competition the very next day.. ;-)



<4>
Me and the giant flower.. =) At Sunway Pyramid with cha.. ;-)


<5>
Really liked this picture.. =) Guess where this is??


<6>
Me with Dilla.. This is taken during our ex-school's reunion day.. =) A bit boring *ahem* fortunately with my bestfwen beside me, it's bearable.. Hehe..



<7>
And what's better to fill the time than going picture-crazee!!! =) Actually behind us is a door where the rays of sunlight is coming in. That's what causes that bright light.. ;-)



<8>
Wan, me and dila (l-r).. =) Also during the chem-e-car event..



<9>
Upside down!! =)



<10>
Me and cha!! Miss u a LOT dear.. =)



Oh well, there's a lot more pictures that I wanted to include, but maybe next time ait! Hehe.. And since this was a tag, the custom is that I should tag others too, right? But, I don't want to pressure anyone into doing this, so to anyone who's interested, please do it ok?!

Hehehe..
=)

Thanks for reading..
