“The only biggest challenge i’ve come to realise is to stop making excuses towards myself and others!”
You can say doing your PhD, winning the first place in a competition,losing weight or climbing a mountain is a big fat ass challenge. But as you walk along that road, it’s normal to stumble as long as you don’t loose your enthusiasm- toughen up even when the going gets tuff .But before diving into that journey,there’s one thing we must leave behind.A particular crappy p.o.s that has the ability to make us loose our balance or worse, stop us.It’s that silly ‘Make-up Excuses’ list.Leaving that list is the first step of the challenge itself!

Eid Mubarak Values
Stumbled upon a poem recently which brings me back to a realisation I experienced over Ramadhan.I thought it's one of the perfect months to purify oneself to learn to genuinely forgive others without any grudges held inside.
Never Give Up Being Loving and Giving - Visitor's Poem
by Mary Sasmiro
(Hong Kong)
Forgive someone when you have been hurt
because they may not know how hurt it feels
but don't curse them for hurting you...
because you then become someone no other than them...
keep believing that the best thing in life is to love and to be loved...
family, friends, loved ones...
let them know you loved them...
one simple genuine smile
a deep look when you talk to your loved ones...
and simple be there to listen...
it means a lot...
I feel fortunate to be able to feel hurt
yet also able to feel blessed
life is a roller coaster...
when you can accept
life is sometimes bring you to top
and can crash you to the bottom
but then you able to stand still
you know you are not a loser
winning is not about being number one and beat other...
winning is all about accepting your failure
and learn from it to be a better person
winning simply is just win yourself back from falling to the grief
to whom who is falling down
to whom who is hurting
to whom who is aching
believe that no matter what...
no matter how dark the day today
tomorrow will still come
and the sun will still shine
HAPPY EID MUBARAK to all Muslims out there =)

Never Gone
As for the author of this blog, well, i can't seem to type how productive my days has been. There are some sports,work,leisure mainly. The productivity being held,is in my mind mainly which better much expressed here huh?(and mostly on twitter but i'm no John Mayer) Some are personal though.Let's just say i'm trying to fix things, make amends. Especially after pulling a stunt during the time of my exams. It's something best not to look at but learn from such mistake. If someone were to ask me what have I learned from this year,i'd say being patient and to take things one step at a time. To THINK before doing anything and plan ahead.Looks like it's time for me to make good again and prepare for the real world.
Other than that,summer is here and my lovely friends are back,Alhamdulillah=) I've learned to care for a certain someone which pretty much leads me back to the my loved ones. A realisation of learning to value the people around me.Family,friends,good people in general. I had a good chilled out summer with A. Thank you.It was good to have u back.
Enough about me.Ramadhan is here once again,Alhamdulillah. So i'd like to take this opportunity to wish all muslims while we're still performing one of our rukun Islam duties, HAPPY RAMADHAN.May it be a blessed one. And to my family members who are away right now,even if i hardly see them ,I miss them.TTFN!Assalamualaikum=)

Earth Hour '09
I'll remind you readers again:
"2 years ago, on 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney (Australia) businesses turned off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour."
So the best thing is that you can also help yourselves by cutting down costs in your electric bill!=)
This is the perfect time to light those candles people be it indoors or outdoors.If you get lucky(if it doesn't rain),spend a night under the stars-could be the perfect date for those lovebirds out there hehe;)
Enjoy doing your part people, I hope it's a sincere one.Have fun!=)

Somewhere the Sun is Shining
by Jessica M.Raymond
Somewhere the sun is shining,
and the clouds are not in sight.
Somewhere someone's laughing,
and talking about what might.
What might have been another year,
for us to spend together.
What might have been another time,
that I could cherish forever.
Somewhere two people laugh and joke,
and carry on all day.
Talk about their past and future,
in an extraordinary way.
They talk about the last few years,
and how they made a bond.
They found it funny they both were different,
but both especially fond.
Fond of each other everyday,
so genuine and true.
A friend to tell of all your worries,
if ever you were blue.
To trust with all my secrets,
and keeping yours close to heart.
Knowing you will comfort me,
and sharing all our art.
Somewhere the sun is shining,
and we will meet again.
Become the friends we always were,
and talk about what's been.
Although you're gone I know you're here,
to help me through hard times.
Help me make the right decisions,
when I don't see the signs.
Somewhere the sun is shining,
and you will be in my heart.
For you were more like a sister to me,
and we shall never part.
This is the time to let you know,
how much I really cared.
I love you for you no matter what,
and cherish the moments that we shared.
Happy Birthday to N & E. Wish you were here to celebrate with your loved ones.Have a blast together up north.Love you 2 to bits.See you in the summer;)

Quotes of the Day
Hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -these things are old. These things are true.- President Obama
*This quote is dedicated to N & A =)
It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend loose their job through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.-President Obama
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.-Robert Sternberg
No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.-Chuck Palahniuk (1962 - ), Fight Club, 1996
