The story of guy J

 A couple of days ago a friend of mine told me that. It came about when he told me the story about a friend of his who he admired so much. For the purpose of this story, let us refer to him as J for simplicity.

J is a very outgoing guy. He has a way with people that help him to naturally blend in with people. That is what makes him special. If you don’t believe me, try asking him where he lives now and with whom, he’ll then tell you that he rents a room with some random couple he barely even knew in his entire life. Impressed yet? He gives out this vibe, or an aura so to speak that makes people around him feel at ease with his presence. The fact that he is able to do so without having to be loud is a mastery feat to be respected.

Isn’t it amazing to know someone like that? Someone with the guts to just jump into a crowd of strangers and after a few minutes, he’ll get along with them just fine. How many of us can confidently say that he/she can be like J? I know I can’t.

By now some of you might already like the idea of being like J; I mean, why not take J as an example and follow his footsteps? Besides, as the saying goes, ‘buang yang keruh, ambil yang jernih’ which basically epitomizes the traits of staying positive. Great, so now that we know a guy like J, we can all aspire to be like him. Wouldn’t that make this world a better place? Of course it will!

Then the world will be like how John Lennon had always wanted it to be in, Imagine. Isn’t that cool?



I wish I could be like that, but I can’t. Not that that I haven’t tried, but I just don’t feel like it’s my thing. Just as Tom Cruise said in Jack Reacher,

Sandy: Who are you, mister? Really?
Jack Reacher: [Sandy gives him a key] I'm just a guy who wants to be left alone.

Why? It’s because I have nothing better to do.


I leave the rest to you……

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be...

I should seriously punish myself for being so lazy in updating my blog. It's not that I am that busy that I do not have the time to actually do it, but the truth is, I am just plain lazy to do so. I mean, yeah, with my tablet and my smartphone, I should have been more active. I love my Tuesdays, not only because this is the day when I get to download new episodes of HIMYM as well as Gossip Girl, but particularly because I have no lectures on the day. Okay, maybe in the near future I might have some tutorials to attend, but since all UCL lectures are in two-hours block, an hour of tutorial goes by right before you know it. But they do get pretty boring and sleepy at times too, or maybe that's just me. Second year, time sure flies by so quickly. I can still vividly recall the memories of last year in my head, both the nice and the bad ones. For those of you who might still remember, I for one have a 'special' reason why I despise Sundays so much. Some of you out the...

Kisah si ayah dan anaknya....

Image
Today I would like to share a story with all of you; a story about a father and his son. Si anak sedang menuntut di sebuah kolej di ibukota, manakala bapanya tinggal di kampung bersama si ibu. Pada suatu hari, si bapa menelefon anaknya untuk bertanya khabar. Mereka berdua mula berbual tentang pelajaran si anak, kesihatan dan perihal keadaannya di sana; suatu dialog yang sering didengari antara seorang bapa dan anaknya. Setelah beberapa minit, si bapa memulakan ceritanya. Rupa-rupanya, si bapa ingin bercerita tentang kereta baru yang dihadiahkan oleh si abang kepadanya. Si bapa bercerita dengan penuh semangat sehinggakan si anak yang berada di hujung talian mula tersenyum. ‘Alhamdulillah, betapa gembiranya bapaku dapat kereta baru’, detikan hati si anak. Kemudian, si bapa pula memberitahu yang dia kini berada di hospital. Si bapa jatuh tergelincir seawal pagi tadi semasa dia baru sahaja keluar dari rumah. Dia mengalami kecederaan ringan di dagu dan kaki. Setel...
