Dream

Assalamualaikum guys!

It's been a while since my last post, and if you've been following my twitter updates you would know why, I don't want to mention it here, water under the bridge that kinda stuff now...

While lots of my friends are prepping for this session's second semester, I'm still home, still on 'vacation'. Not so much though. It's been tough. Sometimes what you plan didn't go the way you wanted, or in my case, the way I wanted. and if I were to crumble like a crispy cracker I would have a long time ago. With what happened last year, and early this year's 'not-much-progress' I could easily snap. I almost did, a lot of time, but I'm thankful to Allah that I can still keep my head cool and rational, and not not doing any stupid stuff. I'll drink (tea) to that!

I have a lot of things I'm yet to accomplish, I'm sure you guys have things on your lists too. In less than three months I'm turning 22. I have major things to do. I may have my time cut short, who knows, and I'd wanted to accomplish something big, not just for me, but for my family most of all. They've done a lot for me, it's my time to reciprocate. I'd love to see my parents live a happy life. It's my dream.

There are things I can control, and there are some that I can't, so I'm focusing mostly on what I can do. I have all these many things in my head I need to make it come true.I know this may sound corny, but dreams do come true. Pray for me!

I Won't Give Up

Assalamualaikum! Smalam aku stumble upon this great song, kawan aku share kat G+, thanks to him. This song is seriously great, simple yet, meaningful. Although mostly it talks about don't give up when it comes to love, but to me it can be interpreted differently as well, like, in putting all your heart in things you love too. Enjoy! And try not to give up :)

I Wont Give Up - Jason Mraz

when i look into your eyes

it’s like watching the night sky

or a beautiful sunrise

well there’s so much they hold

and just like them old stars

i see that you’ve come so far

to be right where you are

how old is your soul?

i won’t give up on us

even if the skies get rough

i’m giving you all my love

i’m still looking up

and when you’re needing your space

to do some navigating

i’ll be here patiently waiting

to see what you find

cause even the stars they burn

some even fall to the earth

we’ve got a lot to learn

god knows we’re worth it

no, i won’t give up

i don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily

i’m here to stay and make the difference that i can make

our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts

we got yeah we got a lot at stake

and in the end, you’re still my friend at least we didn’t tend

for us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn

we had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in

i had to learn what i got, and what i’m not

and who i am

i won’t give up on us

even if the skies get rough

i’m giving you all my love

i’m still looking up

i’m still looking up

i won’t give up on us

god knows i’m tough, he knows

we got a lot to learn

god knows we’re worth it

i won’t give up on us

even if the skies get rough

i’m giving you all my love

i’m still looking up

Currently Reading...

Assalamualaikum readers! Malam2 ni lepas kecewa sedikit Boboi tak menang Maharaja Lawak Mega, nak share lah buku apa aku tengah baca sekarang! 

Baru volume one, blom habis baca lagi, 1000 lebih pages mengandungi 2 novel and  banyak short stories. Sila baca! Interesting reading ni!

Nicholas Sparks ni memang sangat popular, dah banyak buku-buku dia yang diadaptasi jadi movie. Yang first movie aku tengok A Walk To Remember time kat cenfos, yang tu lah jugak yang memperkenalkan aku kepada penulis hebat ni! Lelaki tau tulis cerita tangkap nangis ni! AHAHAHA

Jadi, rajin2lah membaca. Mulakan sikit2 dulu kalau malas, macam baca paper, lepas tu majalah, lepas tu artikel2 di internet, lepas tu short stories, lepas tu novel, tu untuk yang tak berapa rajin nak membaca lah. Kalau nak lompat terus ke baca cerita panjang2, boleh putus semangat nak baca sebab tebal AHAHA. So take a slow step, no need to rush okay!

p/s- bila aku tengok cerita Definitely, Maybe, tiba2 aku rasa suka ngn buku second hand, aku lagi suka kalau dalam tu dah adai nscription2, ada nama ke ape, so aku pun try beli buku kat ebay, dpt lah buku Eclipse for 99 cents (american dollar) tapi sebab cost penghantaran jadi puluh2 jugak lah.. tapi sayang takde tulis apa2 dalam tu -___- yg dia bagi cuma printed incription yg aku yakin di translate guna Google Translate AHAHA. Kalau ada nak trade buku bagi tau aku!

The Boxer

I knew this sing when Lee DeWyze sang it on idol, the lyrics are touching, I mean, unless you just want to gave up when you faced the downturn of your life, you'd like this song, and it makes you feel like, OK, I'm going on, no matter how bad my CGPA is. So, here it is, 'The Boxer' originally sang by Simon and Garfunkel;

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...
