A legend to admire whether you are a sports fan or not
A legend to admire whether you are a sports fan or not
First up, i have to really apologize for taking so long to update my blog!
Secondly,well,probably the reason it has taken me so long to update is because a lot of things have happened recently. To go into detail but be like watching paint dry.
Anyway, i believe that consistency is a commendable value. Over the past few weeks,i have noticed that whether in life,studies,or social interaction, you have to have consistency.
If you consistently lie to someone,when he or she finds out,you will look like the biggest fool in the world. If you consistently push towards doing something,no matter how tough the challenge is,it can be conquered.
Especially in studies. I always believe that all you need to succeed well in studies is HARDWORK AND CONSISTENCY! Without either one,you can never truly do well in the long run. Same goes for a course like ACCA,you have to work extremely hard at a consistent pace rather than swallowing everything last minute!
Apparently,my last post attracted quite a lot of publicity. Had a comment that read 'you should expose your eyes more and not think that success in money is only that narrow'. Which made want to point out that my main point in the post was that 'to achieve success,you need passion above anything else in the long run 'happiness conquers money' and i would take that any day in my life. Feel free to comment on this debate!
Till next time,live life as if it is the first day of school!

First off, apologies for taking so long to update my blog. I have gone through so much in the last few weeks that i hardly had time for anything else.
So,quick updates of what has happened lately:
1) Went through Progress Test 2 which was extremely draining to say the least.
2) Had classes even after my test back to back. Acca requires passionate people who are willing to go through these challenges no matter what.
3) Been trying to do some soul searching lately.
4) Learned that you have to keep your cool even when circumstances are not fair upon you.
5) Just went for Toastmasters Contest in Sime Darby Medical Centre. Was quite impressed with a few speakers.
S0,that's basically it. Of course,small incidents here and there,but of not much importance.
I have been saying this for quite a while now and i still believe entirely in it. Everyone knows (or at least i do) i can be extremely passionate about something if i really am into it. Still, i have yet to find my ultimate passion in life. Am beginning to feel like the 'person who just go through life and ended up forever chasing happiness'. Perhaps i should just take a chill pill like 'everyone else' does, but i feel that ignorance is just plain laziness. In the end,you will suffer the consequences.
Deep down,everyone of us may have at one point of time,dreams and big goals that we set out to do. However, along the way,rocks, rivers,and wrong signs , push our limits to the maximum. Some people,at first sight of hardship,quit. Some people go on,but not the whole way. Some just decide that they will just pursue their goals only if it is 'convenient' for them to do so.
Whoever say achieving big success is easy? It requires passion and determination to persevere whatever that comes in our way. Without these,we can never get anything accomplished with 'half past six' attitude.
'People will always do more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure'. Think about this last sentence. Short,but it clearly sheds light on why some people are so successful and some are not.
To passion and determination to make the most in life!

Ask and you shall receive.
Simple phrase but rarely it is practiced by many people.
With the next few weeks promising to be a bloody war,i think i should take the time to tell myself before going into battle- I CAN DO THIS!
The more number of times you say this to yourself ,i believe you will reach it by hook or by crook!
So,no more whining or complaining or regretting the time lost!
Accept the predicament and challenges that face you,and work with what you have with whatever time you have left.
And even if in the end,you fail to achieve your target,you will get stronger the next time!

I have been a bit disturbed by something lately.
I find that i was quite unhappy with a lot of small things lately. All the petty stuff adds up making me feel frustrated and eventually just taking it out on other people.
Small things like not having enough time for work,reaching home late,class after class,expecting friends to do something but they did not, in the end it just boils up inside me.
However,i soon realize that life will always try to pull you down,it's how hard you can take it and keep pushing,not giving in and blaming others when the going gets tough.
My dear lecturer once sent me a sms,

My dear lecturer once sent me a sms,
SMOOTH ROAD NEVER MAKES A GOOD DRIVER,
SMOOTH SEA NEVER MAKES A GOOD SAILOR,
CLEAR SKIES NEVER MAKES A GOOD PILOT,
A PROBLEM FREE LIFE NEVER MAKES A STRONG PERSON,
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGES IN LIFE!
DO NOT ASK LIFE, ''WHY ME?''
INSTEAD SAY '' TRY ME!''
WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THAT,
YOU ARE A WINNER!

I realize that sometimes,you just have let things be as it is,you may not have control over it,but as long as you know you have done your part,your best,there is nothing to regret over.
Results! Results! Results!
During the entire class on Monday Morning, everyone could barely concentrate on what the lecturer was saying. In everyone's mind (mostly), results are coming out at 12pm! Gosh,how will i do? did i do enough to pass? what if i didn't get what i want?
Coincidentally , it was also my friend's Ee Laine's Birthday! (the GOOD)We had a nice time eating at this great restaurant called Ah Lyes Fish Curry Head after the class ended at 11am. YUMMY FOOD and we took lots of pictures and joking around. Some wanted to watch a movie after lunch then only check the results,but i think some were nervous about the results also when the clock struck 12pm.
Just then,as i was in the bathroom after eating, (the UGLY) Julian called. He straight away asked me about my results and told me his. Sincerely i was happy with him when he told me he passed all his papers beyond expectation,but i was a bit uncomfortable,let's put it that way,with the tone of his voice. He sounded insulting at the same time and more so on the next phone call. Sometimes i feel people should have the humility to treat people with respect.
So,after that,i did a stupid thing. In retrospect,i should not have told my classmates about Julian's call right after,because they all wanted to check their results right away. No movie,and the mood dampened a bit. Thus,they drove to Siew Lai's place to check altogether while i drove home to check mine. While driving home,honestly,i had cold shivers and was extremely nervous.
When i finally arrived,i did a prayer and prepared. Signed in into Hotmail,and immediately when i did that,i received an email ''RESULTS ACCA ONLINE''. Clicked on it,could barely breath and scrolled down slowly. PASS,PASS,PASS,PASS. I should have been very happy,and i was,but i felt a tinge of disappointment when i saw F4-80 Marks. I tried my best,but sometimes maybe the luck of the questions was against me.
Overall,a frantic day. To one of my friend,do not give up ok. There is always a second chance. Strive harder next time!

SPONTANEOUS!
As i write this post,it is 10.51am on a beautiful Saturday Morning,i have watched GI JOE 2 times in 2 days,and i am going to watch 2 more movies in the next 2 days. I did a spontaneous love song dedication through Red Fm's Nisha Late Nite Love Songs few days ago while driving back from Toastmasters. Speaking of Toastmasters,i spontaneously bought packets of sweeties for my Club's 21st Anniversary celebration at a petrol kiosk.
Thinking back,it ACTUALLY FEELS GOOD BEING SPONTANEOUS.
There was once a saying, ALWAYS LOOK AT BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN TO ENRICH YOUR LIFE.
Do something you never thought you would have the bravery and courage to do so. Watch a movie by yourself right after class,chit chat with a stranger,tell jokes to random people or just act crazy all the time.
3 weeks ago,on Monday after my class ended at 11am,i drove back when i heard the cue-to-sms for Red Fm Cd of the week giveaway. I had no idea what cd it was but i just sms. Few seconds later after i smsed,i got a phone call from Aly,red fm's dj! It was adrenaline rush,just listening to my voice on the radio. Haha,and i got the 1,2,3,4 I love you album.
Add colour and vigour into your life by being cuckoo. Defy people's expectations by doing things that other people would never even try to do. Trust me,it will bring you places and give you experiences that will amaze you most and break your boundaries!
