Hud and his extended family

Knowing is important, but the willingness to know is more vital

Hello there... well it's been a very busy month for me; struggling for study and balancing my life with up coming events and programs. Well, I am not sure what to write or share in my blog this time, but perhaps I should pull some strings out of my closet so that you can see the skeleton inside it.

*****

Hud is born into a family which has a moderate city-lifestyle. He has 2 siblings and being the youngest, he always fight to get what he wants. His parents are very nice people. They are well known by the town people. Every where they go, people will recognize them for sure. So, Hud also lives a life of being known in the town.

Hud always got what he wants but not what he needs. When he asks for a new pair of shoes, his parents will go out for shopping and buy him a complete full set attire. When he asks for money, he will receive it without any delay. But, Hud always feel unhappy and being out of love.

Hud loves his parents. But somehow, he is often being disappointed by his parents. Especially his father. When he hopes his parents will spend time with him, they go out for their business and works. When he needs somebody to talk with, his parents are out for meetings and courses. When he needs a shoulder to cry on, his parents are busy with their calls.

Until one day...



Hud went study abroad. There, he met an old man who is loving and caring. From the first sight, Hud already knew that, that old man might be somebody meaningful in his life one day. Hud always came and visited him. They always had a chat, topic ranging from war, life before independent day, family, siblings, study and love. Hud started to become close with him. Even closer than to his own parents. Whenever he needed somebody to listen to his problems, the old man was always there for him. He comforted Hud and tried to lend his hand to help him. Hud was very grateful knowing him for he is kind to him.

2 years has gone...

Hud have to move on for study. In the new college, he meet somebody who is very well known in that place. He is a really friendly man and he talks with whoever who wants to talk with him. But, Hud never approach him, not even to say hello to the person when he is a fresh-man of the college.

Til one Friday afternoon...


Hud was lepaking inside a room in the college. He was actually wanted to do his work. Suddenly, the man came in and offered his hand and said hello. Hud offered his and they started to talk. At first, Hud felt a bit different while talking to that man. He felt very small but yet he always keep an open mind. The man was an awesome and wise man. He knew about almost everything. He shared everything with Hud. And that made Hud felt very closed to him. They talked and shared their point of view about religion, hometown, family, career, pet, love, friends, universalism and much more. The conversation had made Hud felt very closed to him.

Starting from that moment, Hud really admires that man and always look upon him. He even asks him to teach him to be a well all rounded man. Hud feels very close to him. He is there when Hud is having problems. He is there when Hud seeks for advices. He is there when Hud needs support. Even though he is really busy and fully occupied by his work, he is willing to spend time talking and chatting with Hud.

*****

One day, Hud was thinking about all the important and influential men in his life. He always look up at the 2 men which have been really closed to him since he goes for study abroad. But, that night he realized one thing; out of everything and everyone, no one had sacrifice more than his own father. He learned something about truth in life that night; even though his father is always busy with his work, busy with phone calls, busy with minutes, busy with works and tasks... but actually, he does all of these things because of him, for the son he loves named Hud. For he loves his son, he sacrifices his leisure time to look for providence for his beloved son, Hud.

THE END

So, that is a story about Hud. I wonder what happen to him right now.
May you have a blast Hud! I know you will :)

This is what happened...

Ahoi!!! How are you guys out there? Things are going great with me. Last week was one of the best, even though I felt quite exhausted for the whole week. I think it was due to accumulated tiredness the week before that. Last 2 weeks, I've been sleeping for average of only 4 hours per night. Gosh, come to think about it, it is half the required sleeping time for healthy mental development.

Week after that, I felt very exhausted. Every time I woke up in the morning, I felt like a lazy bum. I felt very heavy and lazy to woke up. I know that everyone of my age has difficulty in waking up in the morning. Not for me, unless I slept very late at night (or early in the morning). I am a person who always wake up the first in the house. It's like I am the measuring stick of my housemates. Anyway, for that particular week, even though I was able to defend my title of being the first to get up of the bed every morning, but I totally felt very lazy to go for class. Thank goodness I am okay right now. And, I am still happy! Hohoho!

Anyway, enough of my lazy blooming ass, let's get back to the track. Last week was one of the best week that I ever had since I came to Penang. I, still the same as before, have not got time to explore the Pearl of Orient. Thanks to my seniors, I am able to know a little bit about Penang, and understand why a lot of foreigners love to come to this island after a trip to one particular place in Batu Feringghi. I went out with them to have a very nice chat in Sunset Bistro. It is one of the most beautiful and coolest beach that I have ever been to. Thanks to my blissful ignorance, I am really happy being in the place. For your information, this place is a very good place to watch sunset. It was so beautiful that no words can describe the ambiance. Lots of couple sat at the shore and romantically watched the sun set down. Damn it, I love the beach. It's the bomb. Hopefully, I will manage to capture some pictures if I go to the beach again. Me and my seniors had a very nice chat and I am able to get close to them. I felt really happy in that moment.

Okay, that's it. I had a very nice moment at Sunset Bistro. And I can't wait to go there next time.
Thank you to all the nice seniors that have made me being one of them. What more can I ask then to acknowledge me as one of the PMC family? Wait, did I say family? Oh ya, I did.

Arigato!
