GOODBYE AUSMAT~Gala Night

I’m back again in ipoh, I attended my graduation ceremony as well as Gala Night in college. So fast it’s been a year already and now I have finished my AUSMAT. Hopefully, next year I’m going to fly to aussie.

I really enjoyed my college life . Surrounded by awesome friends doing crazy stuffs. Ya! all those moments are memorable. Not forgetting my lecturers too!! They did their best to teach us and they were a fun lot to play around with too.

Anyway below are the pictures I took during gala night.

all the pictures a bit blur and the resolution not that good.anyway till here then!

Road not taken.

Have you ever wondered whether the road you are taking now IS the road? Or have you ever wondered what will happen if you take other roads instead of the road you are currently in? Well if that’s the case, then you have come to the right place.

No doubt, most of us will give this issue a hard thought at least once in our lives regardless in the past, present on in the future. Let’s take a look at “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost below:

"The Road Not Taken":

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

"And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Most of us has and had heard of this poem before and this poem has been used in many schools as one of the literary texts for students to ponder upon. We have been exposed to this issue since young and yet there are many of us who choose the wrong road (gangsters, drug addicts… you get the idea). But this issue is very abstract. I mean what if the road they are taking such as the examples above IS the road????

As we move on in life we will then realize that there is no right or wrong roads. ( I don’t know what I’m babbling haha) once you have taken that path, there is no turning back. If there is, it will be a hard long U-turn. I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s hard.

Hmmm I can’t seem to make a point, but whatever, I’m just trying to post something up :P
Anyway till here then!

finished my AUSMAT!

Finally my course has just ended! Phew! It’s been so long that I have updated my blog. If you check back on my last posts, you will notice that I started with “it’s been ages since I updated” or “ sorry for the long updates” or something similar to that.

Well, from now onwards, I will try to keep my blog updated daily if possible. Because I’m quite free now. Hmmm, let’s see. What have I been doing for the last few months? Well nothing much really. I haven’t touched my guitar for a very long time too!!! Oh, how I miss playing my guitar and sing along, I have lent it to my friends who just starting to learn guitar and I’m happy for them because there are more people that join the ‘guitar world’ if you know what I mean.

Oh, beside that, I have a serious interest in photoshop now. I’m starting to devote my time in learning more skills and tricks in using photoshop. Internet is my best friend. There are some websites that I found useful : www.psdtuts.com . feel free to check that website out if you are interested ya!!!! But I also relied on Google as well as Youtube for tutorials. Now I;m learning how to make glowing effects or for some they call it beams.

Below is one of my creation and I hope I could get some comments about it. Somehow I feel that this image lacks of something. Perhaps the intensity of the glowing effect??? I don’t know. Maybe some of you would point it out and suggest on how to improve it.

I’m also interested in web design and building a website. Hopefully I could learn some stuffs and able to revamp my whole blog layout. How cool would that be? Looks like I got lots of studying to do guys!!!! Wish me luck!

So that’s all for now and look forward for my next posts ya!

posing in the car

oh ya , forgot to mention, last Thursday i went out with some of my former classmates. we went infinity and played dota for few hours ,then we played a game of snooker. we were all so bad in snooker, we missed most of the times and hence the game lasted around one hour. in fact, we didn't even bother to fnish the game when we leave. it was already late and everyone need to rush back home for dinner.posing outside infinity

well i guess nothing's else then.

Unaffected : poem

Unaffected

I was weak, fragile and now helpless,

I was ripped, crushed and now devastated,

I was angry, mad and now irritated,

I was sad, depressed but now unaffected.

You were once gentle, but now harsh and ruthless,

You were once cheerful, but now dark and discontented,

You were once tolerable, but now difficult and unbearable,

You were once in my heart, but now gone and lost forever.

Was it meant to be this way?

Why can’t I just have my say?

You never ever acted this way,

And now you keep shouting get out of my way!

It’s always me, who needs to say sorry,

It’s always me, who begs you to forgive me,

But now, I realized that I should not be engulfed in this stupidity,

Because I know we are both of different entity.

I was weak, fragile and now helpless,

I was ripped, crushed and now devastated,

I was angry, mad and now irritated,

I was sad, depressed but now certainly unaffected.

i sprained my knee...AGAIN!

Yesterday I sprained my knee again!!! Ligament injury. Argh! Actually before this I have already injured my knee while playing basketball in college. That was sometime in June. I was supposed to play for my college in an inter college competition but I was injured way before the competition while playing a friendly match with a Singaporean team. Fortunately, we won the friendly match, but the bad side was I got injured and i can't fulfill my dreams of playing for my college team. Argh! I never went and see the doctor because I thought it was just a normal sprain, but after one week the pain was still there. Subsequently, I called up my mom and she advised me to see a doctor. Only then I found out that it was ligament injury. The doctor advised me to stay away from sports for a few months, and so there and then I thought: oh my, there goes my basketball career!

Anyway, fast forward three months later; I thought it was healed, because I was able to run the other day when I went jogging with my family. I played Frisbee too with my siblings. The next day, I wanted to continue or shall I say wanted to touch and shoot a basketball again and I went to the court. Not one minute has passed, and I was already injured, AGAIN! I was so ashamed you know because my friends said: wah, just play only not even for two minutes but got injured so fast! I don’t know where to hide my face already and since I need to rest for another six months or maybe forever, I shall never step back to that court again. Sob sob.

Imagine when you have passion in something but when you know you cannot achieve it already, it’s sad right? Well that’s what I’m feeling right now. Anyway, I just hope that my knee will fully recover if not the pain sure will haunt me for life. Till here then!

first day of raya 2009!

When it’s Hari Raya what colours do you always see? GREEN!!!! And guess what? My whole family and I wore green for this Raya! My mom was the one who chose the colour theme for this year’s raya. So she bought three pairs of apple green baju melayu for me, my father and my brother each and another two pairs of baju kurung for my sister and herself. I wasn’t around during the process because I was stuck in Damansara studying for my exams and no time to come back. Luckily, my father and I wear almost the same size ,so she bought a pair for me which of the same size with my father’s. Well, let the pictures show you how ‘GREEN’ we were.

This year my family decided just to do a small celebration only compared to last two years where I’ve invited my friends over. If some of you were wondering why I didn’t call, I’m terribly sorry. Maybe next time we could hang out again and get together. Well, as usual, my aunt and uncles, not forgetting my grandmother will come over to celebrate with my family. The aroma of savory dishes that my mom prepared lingered the whole house. Argh!! Even by just thinking back makes me drool.
