Homage to 'Not the Uncle Lim nxt door'...

Out of nowhere, i arise from my bed at the dawn. The day where i am supposed to rest till late in the morning turns out to be the otherwise. I was deprived of sleep for the past few weeks due to the finals and when climax was over, i should have a good bedtime. Its all because of the annoying blood-sucking MOSQUITOES' fault for getting me restless. Amanah is real dreadful towards the end of the semester. Total rubbish all over the hostel. In a world where mannerism does not penetrate through deep into the younger generation's mind, these will only reflect on what are the worst case scenario of our future lies. Imagine, people throwing rubbish out of the window just like that, be it crumble paper, can drinks, polystrene package or etc, without ever concerning anyone right below the window. Furthermore, living in a place surrounded by junks might turn you into part of the thrash. If you can't beat them, join them right?

Anyway, since i am awake and totally not in the mood of packing up my stuffs yet for holidays, i might as well surf around the web to see what's going on around the blogosphere at the moment. Ah-Ha! Blogmate Crusader finally updated something quite interesting. The post is on the bibliography of his hero, idol, leader or whatsoever you name it; all in all, one of the greatest creation by God. I myself would like to pay tribute to the one and only eminent 'Uncle Lim' of Malaysia. History himself speaks everything. Earlier days of life (50's era onwards) was much tougher compare to generation these days in terms of hardship. Go back and ask your grandparents or even your parents about it, they will tell you the same thing. Last time, they work/struggle under the sun, now we work/struggle under the air-con. Generation these days were made easier by them for a better living. Due to this fact, people are starting to forget their roots. Bear in mind that the present and future can never exist without the past. My dad once told me about how 20 years down the road before, he struggled to earn a good living. Those days, motorcycles are almost equivalent to cars. Having one is quite a great achievement. Salary were just 1/10 of the current ones as the value of currency is small. 'Wan tan mee' noodles and a cup of 'teh tarik' will only cost you about 5 cents. How far we were left behind by comparison to other advance countries during that time in terms of our currency values and economy-wise? It was all the effort of our great late country's leaders and few undisputed extraordinary mens who made what Malaysia is today. Click this link to read more about my blogmates opinion...

True enough, for every great successful man or woman comes with great sacrifice, huge responsibility, leadership and unbounded determination. Its all about how you would perceive on your own life; how you see your life in succession of certain things or perception of whatever comes, comes! "No sacrifice, no victory"~ Sam Witwicky (from Transformers). Life is like a journey of lots of subway station. When you reach to a particular destination, you can't stop there forever. You will have to move on to another station and when you decide the next station to go to, you have your aim and direction. Work towards that direction and move on cleverly. I myself truly hadn't reach that level yet as i had my own obstacles to be taken care of right now. This is the part and parcel of life. Nothing comes easy at the moment. The thorns of life is just the beginning.
