A new dawn is awakening, in a few days another year will past us and the day n month will turn to 1 once more. For us Muslim a new year had already started a few hours ago. Luckily this year the Muslim calendar n the conventional calendar end almost at the same time.

Like every year a new year offer new hope n beginning for some of us. For those who have something to accomplish in life, they will set some goals n target to be full field (hopefully). As for myself setting goals at the beginning of a new year are just not enough. I would also look back at my last year resolution and analyze if it have been fully, nearly, of narrowly accomplished.

My 2008 resolutions and the year end results are:

#Continue my master study at any institution except UKM }Now im studying far away in UNIMAS, Swk so it’s quite an accomplishment

#Secure a scholarship }Thankfully but i have to suffer for 5 months before finally manage to do so

#Completing by lab work base on my Gantt schedule }It’s something kind of a miracle for a research postgrad to get it done especially here in Unimas, so NO this one i failed to accomplish

#Gain new knowledge, experience and friends } One of d main reason why i set my 1^st resolution, and this one i can confidently said is fully accomplished =D

#Change my bad habits } One thing about me is ill get fire up in the beginning n the fire start to fade away near d finish line… that’s one bad habit i need to change also

#Find a lover } There something in life, that its better be left in God’s hand…. i try my best n hopefully the result can only be known next year ;D

My 2009 resolutions are:

#Finish all my lab work so by 2010 ill only have to do my thesis writing

#Present my research proposal n results confidently at d department monthly seminar

#Go to a research symposium in d peninsular

#Go site seeing in Miri especially Mulu National Park

#Climb mount Santubong

#Lose weight-target 68 65kg!

#Lose my bad habits including d fire problem =P

PS: Its good to set goals for yourself, it’ll get u motivated n even though u failed to accomplish it at least u know what when wrong n u can try harder next time =D

Setelah hampir 4 thn bgelar penulis blog separuh masa kini tiba masanya aku mengorak langkah ke alam penulisan yg lebih berat dan serius. Ku rasakan segala pandangan dan idea mengenai isu semasa merangkumi agama, sosial dan khususnya POLITIK di Mlys tidak perlu ku pinggirkan lagi.

Mahupun begitu, segala cetusan itu tidak akan aku lampirkan dlm laman web friendster ini. Utk topik2 yg lebih komersial dan mengcakupi pembaca yg lebih besar, maka aku telah membina sebuah laman web baru b’gelar HANG JEBAT. Kenapa ia dinamakan sedemikian? Seharusnya anda melayari laman web t’sebut utk m’getahui jwpnnya.

Dan sabaiknya laman web FS ini akan kekal sebagai catitan diari kehidupanku seperti sbelum ini jua. Jika anda mahu mengenali sebahagian lagi diri ku ini yg lantang berhujah, geliga berfikir serta gigih mengkritik secara membina n meruntuh segeralah ke alamat yg telah tertera.

PS: Every journey began with a step… kemanakah langkah baru ini akan membawa diri ini? Waallahualam

Exactly three years have passed since the tragic 15^th December incident that changed me physically and mentally. It’s not like i can’t let go of the past and move on, but its good to reanalyze what have happened throughout my life and look how far have i come. Ok enough with all the philosophies, here is one unique way of retelling the story.

Once upon a time in a far faarrr away ‘kampung’ lived a young boy name ZACK. Zack was a hyperactive child who love to catch butterflies. He loved to catch them because he likes to look at the wonderful colours the butterflies have. In his collection, Zack has a wide array of different sizes and colourful butterflies which he caught using his looonngg and BIG butterfly net.

One day while on his way to school, Zack suddenly spotted a very large and unique butterfly which he have never seen before. He quickly ran home to get his butterfly net and his glass container where he kept all his butterflies. Soon after that he rushed back to the spot where he saw the butterfly, and luckily for him it was still there. Without hesitation Zack swing his butterfly net at the butterfly but before he can catch it the butterfly flew off. When he saw the butterfly try to run away, Zack quickly chased after it.

Suddenly, while chasing the butterfly Zack lose his footing and fell down. Due to the fall, Zack injured his knees. While his long and big butterfly net broke into two and his glass container shattered into pieces letting all his butterfly collection free. Seeing all his hard caught butterflies flew away in front of him made Zack very SAD…. For several days, Zack cried for his losses.

On the seventh day after the tragedy, while he was sleeping an old man came to him. The old man said to Zack “Young boy you should let go of the past, there is so much wonderful things out there waiting for you to discover. Life ain’t about how many butterflies you caught, its about how you appreciate its beauty and share it with the people you loved”. When Zack woke up he realize it was just a dream, and the dream had made him understood that life is unpredictable, but in the end what have happened to him was made to be.

Taking the tragedy positively Zack urge himself to get back doing the things he love so much, which is observing the beauty in butterflies. The incident have open his perspective in life and made him realize there are better ways to enjoy his passion for butterflies. Now every time he wants to look at butterflies he will go to a lake garden near his home. This way he can enjoy looking at the beautiful butterflies without disturbing them. He also can look at all the wonderful insects in the garden rather than just looking at butterflies…

Morale of the story
Life is wonderful if you take things positively. It can be unpredictable sometimes but don’t let some mishaps ruin all your dreams.

This is my real experience in life written in a metaphoric concept. The butterflies in the short story are the metaphor for my dreams and the long and big butterflies net is my right hand.

PS: Currently Zack is pursuing his dreams in a another kampung. With just a little experience, knowledge and wisdom in his stride, Zack left his kampung to pursue his dream somewhere else. Wish him luck =D

To be continue…..
