From A Layman

I have came down to the point where I am so bored that I decided to blog about the one thing I couldn't care any less about: Politics.

On second thought, boredom might not be the reason at all, because everything that has been happening around doubtlessly stirs riot across the country, it's not strange that even I am starting to keep up with the news. I admit I don't know politics much at all, and I'm definitely in no place to define who's politically right or wrong, but all I know is I see how badly intoxicated the politicians are by the fear of being defeated. And I have to say, these undying news updates are surprisingly riveting, so I guess it's a pretty good start for a layman like me to get to know politics, thanks to GE13. 
Come to think of it, studying History has it's perks. Remember Dato Onn Jaafar? He was one of my favourite politicians to read about in the subject, simply because I think he's a natural leader and not to mention a rarely intelligent one who actually makes the right decisions. Right now I wonder what would he be saying about the chaotic conditions of our nation. 

Like I said, I'm in no place to comment. My hopes are that all of this would be over soon, and the displeasing flags that are brutally killing the beauty of my island's scenic landmarks are taken down immediately after it. 

To all aged under 21, Democracy needs to be redefined, so pray hard for Justice. May our beloved nation be freed from racism, biases, avarice and political alibis.

Yayasan Khazanah: First & Second Stage

Undeniably, scholarships and I tend to have rather... complicated relationships. The first one I applied for (and a quite prestigious one for heaven's sake) didn't qualify because reckless little me missed out one of the application procedures. I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice.  Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...

Of heartbreaks and the unknown

Moon's high, light's low. I'm sitting in my bed and thinking. About things. I've been doing a lot of sitting and thinking lately. Almost all the time my mind wanders off into space, and my heart starts sinking deeper and deeper into a void. This void, this blackness of a cavern. Funny enough, I know what it is and where it came from.  I ask myself the same question everyday, over and over, until it hurts to even mentally mouth the words: Why am I here in this messed up world? What have I done (or not done) to be forced to internalise so much pain and injustice? How can people live as though they belong when they've done so many others wrong? And most importantly, am I overthinking this yet again?  There was a point in time where I had so much hope in me my eyes gleamed. My blood burned bright red and my veins lit up like fireworks. Every single day, I felt like an infinite surge of electricity was coursing through me and that anything that I touched woul...
