After my hectic mid-exams, finally is friday. I got to go home at least to have few hours to sleep and relax before my second round outting with my jimui. That time while i was driving back home, i was not very concious and felt so dizzy as i was too tired. So i switch on my MP3 as loud as possible to at least being drag away from the sleepiness. Singing in the car was the best solution for me at that point in time.
When i reach Jalan Teluk Pulai, a turning point into my housing area (Tmn Teluk Pulai), I saw a condolence board-pointing a direction into my housing area. That time, i was thinking why in a sudden there are so many people passed away. Immediately when i have a right turn into my house, from far ( 5 houses away) i saw a tent in front of my neighbour's house, with 2 big white lanterns. I was stunned, thinking that who passed away. As i know, that house consist of 2 teenagers and their parents with total of 4 people, and their parent is very young with the age of 50+.
The moment i stepped into my house, my mum told me that Uncle Yap had passed away yesterday (thursday 29/3/2008) when he was having a badminton game in the badminton court somewhere in Eng Ann. The detail situation was not clear, as my mum only get to know that he was collapsed and his friends thought he was only tired. The time when they get to know that he was in danger, it was too late to sent him to hospital. Furthermore, the ambulance was late as usual and the traffic in Klang was terrible and these had also contributed to part of his delayed treatment which lead to his death.
I felt so down at that point in time. This has refreshed my memories during my youth age. When i was small, i like to follow my brother to Uncle Yap's house because uncle likes to buy toys and game for his son to play. And his son likes to invite my brother and another 2 neighbours to play with him, and me of course will stick to my brother and they got no choice but to let me play with them. I remembered that when all of us were hanging around at uncle's house, he'll definately serve us with his son's beloved junk food - chips and all sort of fast food. Of course we would be delighted as most of our parent wouldn't let us to have these food unless on our birthday. So most of us will curi curi makan at his house. Uncle Yap, however, will bring us to the nearby playground to play kites or cyling. He's a very nice neighbour to us. Furthermore, both of our family are the member of a famous club in Klang. We used to join any of the activities held by the club and get to know each other even more detail. Sooner and later, our parent became very best friends, like to hang around in the club and sometimes even organised family trips.
However, until a point of time, all of us lost contact. We no longer joining the club activities and started busy with our school life. In a sudden, everything just end like this and we become "Hi and Bye" friends. We only greet uncle when we saw him. No longer as close as last time.
The last time i saw him passing by my house was last 2 weeks' weekend ( between 15/3-23/3/2008). that time i just wave at him, signify a "HI" to him and that the last thing that i ever did for such a long time. I felt so lost of lossing this such a good uncle. I was so curious, why in the earth that people practising a healthy lifestyle would die of so sudden without any sign? Why is the doctors always encourage us to practise healthy lifestyle and yet people tend to die in their early age? Why people with unhealthy lifestyle would have the opportunity to live longer than those normal people? Is god being equal? Who knows? Only GOD knows.
A piece of advice, treasure the moments u have with everyone beside you. Leave aside every sorrow and misunderstanding that you have with anyone. Stay away from anger and revenge that u have with you. Treasure your life and love everyone beside you. Treasure your life and do not let youself to regret on stuff you have done. Just do what u think is necessary to do and do it with no regret. No one will know when their life will end. Only god knows. So Treasure yourself before it was too late.

Someone special that i respect - HIM
This "someone" is a special guess, which i will later refer as "HIM"
One special day, i agreed to follow a friend of mine to meet up a special guess - HIM. Time of waiting to meet HIM may seems long but my heart was pumping very fast. I have a lot of questions to ask, but none of it seems realistic. And i was afraid that i may asked the wrong thing, and there's go my chance. So, while sitting in the crowds, i was thinking, trying to eliminate questions that doesn't make sense.
Finally, is my turn to meet him face to face. HIM asked me what can HIM help me. I said that i had promised HIM earlier to meet HIM again to asked for some solutions that i had raised out last trip. He promised me that He could resolved all my problems only if i bring the stuff that HE requested on the following trip. Stuff that HE required really make me headache. At that point of time, i was thinking where should i find all these stuff in city. Before i able to voice out, it seems HE look thru my heart. HE told me not to worry as people here could be able to help me, as long as i ask. I look at HIM and HE smiles at me and asked me anything else HE can help.
Then, I asked permission for asking this question since it relates to my sibling. I thought HE wouldn't answer. But lucky me. HE said the special person is already there and is waiting for a notting head chance. At that time being, an Unbelive reaction appears on my face and i look at HIM. Not that i dun believe HIM, i just cant think of if that someone really appeared? HE look at me saying that i shouldn't show disbelief in HIM, HE knows more than i can expect. Both of us were laughing as he and me knew that the disbelief reaction is a sign of ambiguity towards my sibling. What HE told me was, although my sibling does not tells us anything, it doesn't mean anything doesn't going to happen, just give my sibling some space. I was, in fact, felt happy and some kind of relief.
HE laughed and looked at me again, asking if i have any question.
Since i already open up this topic, i took the opportunity to ask abt mine. Immediately HE laughed and told me to prepare the stuff that HE required. By that time, what i want can come true. Even if i want it this year, HE will also help me to grap it. HE asked me with a smily face if i want it now? Everyone in the room was laughing and i felt so embarass. But at least I have clear some of my queries. Thanks to HIM.
But now, i have some difficulties.
Do u know what stuff that i find it hard to get it from a town city like Klang?
Well water, river water and sea water..hehe.. Everyone know that Klang has the most contaminated water supplies. the Sea and River water was extremely dirty and highly contaminated by chemicals, rubbish and, etc. Do i really need to collect the water? Yes, i have to. But in other place, i hope :)

At the end of the Cross-road.
Finally, i'm almost reaching towards the end of my Uni life. This is the time for all of us to think of what we want our future to be like, what we want to become in our future, etc. But, i dunno specifically what i really wanna do in future. Could i say: "What i want after i step out of MMU is Money?". Look materialistic huh. No choice, this is part of the real world's philosophy - “钱不是万能，没钱就万万不能”But, without any planning, even if i'm a millionnaire, my life will be meaningless too.
So, what i want for my future then? Erm, still in the consideration. Should i enter into the commercial line now or later after i gone thru my Audit line and finish my professional paper or vice versa? Which way should i choose? Which firm should i apply for? Which choice is best for me for now and then? I am being very choosy because i was not sure what i want in future. If i could set-up my mind on what i want now, this wouldn't be a problem for me, right? This reminds me of the day when i finished my A-Levels and i couldn't set-up my mind on what course i should proceeds with. But the situation now is different, everything is on my own now. I need to think as an adult. Be responsible on everything decision i made. This is why i was being so caution on choosing my future life. I wan the balance between working life and my own lifestyle, at least, although i know it is impossible. But who knows. If i have determination on everything we do, every single decision i made may change the history, change my life. Am i right?
Somehow, i do hope for miracles. How miracle will come to me? I thinks it comes to me when i have a mind-set on what i want and how i want it to be. As the philosophy said: If u think u can, u CAN. Even if i'm not sure if i can make my dreams come true, but i believe if i have put the efforts, nothing is impossible. This is when the miracles come in - I believe on the decision i make and the miracle will somehow give me the things that i hope i'll get.
choices.....decisions......plannings......determinations and efforts......miracles......
Back to the question, what i want for my future? I'll search for my answer....analyse choices, decide what best for myself, plan for my life, and have the determination to make my dreams come true. Efforts will somehow bring my miracles to my side... Gambateh!!!
