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...

I Am (Not)

Sometimes I am calm like the first ray of sunlight at dawn shimmering upon the sea. And sometimes, when I am not I am   a raging tempest tearing shores apart I am an earthquake  still and cold as I watch them crumble to dust I am the devouring fire from a dragon's breath searing the night, and lighting up the sky  - a burning red. I am the burn  that lingers in your eyes when you wake up  from crying yourself to sleep; The throbbing pain in your head from losing count of Jamesons you drowned in. Sometimes I am calm but sometimes, when I'm not - nessun dorma.

Confess and Live

Here's a simple confession to make: I'm afraid.  But I'm not. I'm not afraid of being afraid. At least, it's proof that I'm still sane and still alive. Fear can be transformed into strength, because it's like a hurdle - when you've mustered enough energy to jump over your boundaries, you'll land back on track to finish the long race. Fear will not take over me. I will land on the other side. I will retrieve what I rightfully deserve, I'm sure.
