Into The New World

the above picture is SNSD's Into The New World song's picture. it inspires me of what we were, how do we change as time passes by, what do we do to achieve our goals, and how do you do to gain success that we dream of.

that's what i'll be experiencing in 2 days time, entering a whole new world with bright future and precious experience to be discovered and explored. in 2 days time, i'll be away from beloved family, local-made friends and relatives, not to mention i'm leaving them and Malaysia for 4 years to further my studies in the University of Adelaide.

for now, there's nothing that i can feel within myself. not that i'm excited to fly, and not that i'm so sad to leave home for Australia. maybe it's just too early to feel both ways. rather i am looking forward to flying and continuing my studies and getting the chance to perform excellently in what i am doing, and what i am aiming for in the future, which is to become a successful lawyer.

entering a new world, isn't bad to gain lots of knowledge that this world holds, unravel lots of mysteries that this world covers, and meet other communities and exchange our perceptions and opinions in every field that this world dominates. but 1 thing for sure, challenges are waiting for us, to make us hurt and rather disappointed of facing failures in everything we struggled just to be as successful as we can achieve.

i do admit that i'm not so strong, even i don't know what would i do if failures come and hit me non-stop. however, failures aren't bad friends, they teach us to be stronger day by day, more determined, and able to stand up if we have fallen. there's no gain with no pain. the damage that you have been inflicted with does not kill you straight away, and failures are not meant to kill, rather they are needed for betterment.

this is what i will uphold while being in foreign country. i'll always remember that no one will help us throughout our journey all the time, except ourselves. be independent, and more responsible to myself, that's the key to success.

that's it, bring it on!

Recovering the Loss

it has been 2 years since last time i debated. throughout my participation, i always found it interesting, and rather useful especially in my studies and personal skill development. being a law student, speech-delivering skill is significant to become a successful presenter.

yesterday, was a day for me to recover what i have lost for 2 years. yesterday was a 1-day participation to remind me of what i have participated in, and what i have developed within me. even though the session was short for me, it is something to be memorized and used as guidelines. it was a debate training session with seniors and juniors of my secondary school, Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi Selandar.

i participated in a match, and debated after 2 years of not debating. i still found it something to be proud of as i could present excellently even though it has been a long time i stopped debating, rather exciting i have shown my skills and talents to the juniors for them to learn and improve.

apart from getting back my debater title, i also recovered something that i have forgotten, the school memories i had with my friends and juniors. i got to meet some who i still recognize and even remember their names. some say i have changed a lot, but 1 thing that time does not change is, me as a student who was there, studying and enjoying school moments once upon a time, like them now.

the scenery is still the same, but there are additional features and views added to the school. at least i have come to the place where i belonged few years back, before i fly to Australia next week, the University of Adelaide specifically, furthering my studies and getting new experience in foreign countries.

1 thing for sure, there's no blame to put if you turn your head back to the past as it shall recover precious memories you have enjoyed, and your identity, knowing about who you were last time.
