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 :)

Note: All characters and events in the story are all fictional. No character are based on true life. Even when they are, it is only a coincidence. Images are impersonation of the characters. Thank you.

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!

Think, wait & move on

Human. As long we remain as humans, we would never able to escape from problems. A person who doesn't have any problem may probably never live his life. Except if he is a living-dead.

Problems teach us to be mature. Without problems, perhaps we will never learn anything. Nothing. Nothing at all. But some how, there are problems in our life that may interrupt our normal days and turn everything upside down.

Me? I am sick with problems that are around me. Sometime, I think I can't hold it anymore. God damn it, I am still alive right now and able to post this. Recently, I have a problem, or so call not-literally-my problem. It is someone else problem, but I am caught in the middle of the internal conflict. This problem has affecting me for a very long time. I actually anticipated that this problem will happen. The best thing when you are able to see this coming is, when you are able to do something about it. The worst part is, when you are not able to do anything about it. This is what happened to me. I foresee the problem, but i could not do anything about it. Damn it.

For several weeks, I held on to a hope that I will get over this matter as soon as possible. Everyday, I felt my life became sucks. Thank God, after watching Kami The Movie, I am able to be myself back. Since then, I have a motto in my life, a new tag for me to live on in this world; Life's suck, but there's still tomorrow. The hope that tomorrow will bring keep me sprout and sustain to stay and continue my life everyday now. Even with this motto, the problem was still bothering me until I shared with somebody that recently become very close to me.

"Hidup ini memang palat, tapi esok masih ada." To anyone who doesn't know what 'palat' is, it means 'suck'.
I like this movie.

I was quite afraid to share this problem with him. But I pulled my socks and took some guts, and darely talked to him about this problem. Surprisingly, he is really understanding and after sharing it with him, I felt the weight of the world was being lifted off from my shoulder (of course, with a few advices). It was the first time that I felt the sense of freedom, with the capital F. Even until now, the moment I post this blog.

With my problem gone, now I can continue my life and focus on my study.

I am really grateful that I meet you Dad. Thank you very much for all the time you have with me.

And thanks to my friends who keep on posting up comments in my blog. Keep it up and I'll bring you guys with more stuffs! Thanks ya for drooping by.

New semester, new resolutions

Hello there... It's been 1 week since the last time I updated my blog. Been quite busy catching up with my schedule, like other people as well. You know, study, work, training, music... sometime I got entangled in between these things. But it doesn't matter how busy my life is, as long as I can enjoy everything till I drop :)

Anyway, when ever we come to an end of something, we will get on board with something else. The end of sem 1 as a foundation year student remarked the next half of my journey in Penang before I go to Ireland. Sometime, I think, if I could have accepted the offer to Australia, I would have just started my journey to be a doc while the path that I take right now have manage to get me through 5 months of the same thing. Wait, what am I talking about?

Last semester has reflected our efforts and journey in our 1st term in PMC. Thank God, I got flying colours this time. I hope I will be able to maintain my achievement in sem 2. I know that I need to pull my socks right now because everything is getting tougher.

Besides academic achievement, my concern this term is also my 'side-project'. I hope that I could spend some of my free time with music. PMC is having ballad session in the middle of March. It is someting like talent show in high school. So, anyone is allow to participate during the night. Hope that I'll be able to catch up with my schedule and perform that night.

I bought my new baby last 2 weeks. It is a 2nd hand Yamaha bass guitar. It is still in good condition and it is very cheap. I hope that with the bass guitar, a better song can be played as I keep on finding ways to overcome this matter before.

My new baby, Yamaha Bass Guitar

My Ibanez Guitar, RX Series... My first baby...

There are a lot more that I want to share but some of my resolutions are personal. Need to keep them to myself.

Thanks for dropping!

The Best Boring Day (of my life?)

Yesterday was a public holiday for all Malaysian (except for people in Sabah & Sarawak) to mark the celebration of Thaipusam, a celebration for all Hindus. So, me and my friend went for an outing to Queensbay. We were planning to watch movie or to karaoke.

Upon arriving at Queensbay, we were stunt (exageratting) when there is no preferable movie to be watched together. So, we went for a hunt for any k-box (where 'k' stands for karaoke). Somehow, we didn't find any in Queensbay and it was the beginning of the boring day of my life.

Wait, the title of this post is "The Best Boring Day". Hahaha... It was a boring day, but it is not any ordinary boring day, it is the BEST boring day of my life. After failing accomplishing our wants, we went wondering around the big building. 1st was an anime + manga shop. We stopped by that shop and looked around for any interesting most popular-art-from-Japan (what else... manga lah!). Then, we moved on and went to another bookstore with difference purposes (which was not planned earlier). When we were there, we were laughing and teasing each other with the title of manga and anime... Look below at this one.

Look at the title.
Nana, how dare you not to tell you are one of Japan's Manga (hahahaha...)

Then, we went shopping (my god, 3 guys went out shopping, what the hell is going on over here) in Jusco. I managed to grab a pair of shoes in which I paid for a very reasonable price. Seriously, I think it is one of the cheapest shoes that I ever bought in my life. I am glad to have them on my feet.

My second skateboarding shoes after DC.

After shopping, we went to a watch shop to repair my roomate's watch. The shopkeeper (which is a woman) is a very nice person. She dealt with us nicely and like the way she entertained her customers. Then, walked down to a bookstore, Border. Recently, I bought two books and I am still reading them. So, i didn't want to buy any book over there. But, it is still a very big impressive book store. Salute!

Great books for thinker!

Anyway, this is the jeez of what I did during my best boring day. Guess the story is also boring...
