PLKN

I've been chosen for National Service 2009.
Is it a good news or a bad one?
What will happen to me?
Every year, without fail there would be news of NS trainees dying or getting injured. Will it happen to me? Or will it happen to others? My friends?
Program Latihan Khidmat Negara, will I learn to love this country even more?

time

Blogger Blogger on the screen, what's the fairest of all things?

hmmmm..... The fairest is..... TIME! Everybody is given the same amount of time each day regardless of race, social status, nationality, number of cars owned or whatever else.
Time is the perfect metronome.
Nobody can change the time or manipulate its speed.
We are to manage our time wisely because we are stewards of it. How to manage time?
It's less then 100 days to the Final Exam!
There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute...
I can remove the battery from the ticking clock but time will not stop for me, not even for anybody else.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

William Shakespeare.

Life is short, so what are we going to do about it?
Why do people spend all of their time going after money? Will I become like that when I finish my studies?
Right now, I just need to behave in school, study well, and try obtaining good results. What's next?

My greatest fear is to live for the wrong purposes
and then regret when it's too late.

Hope this will be a successful Mirror to my thoughts and myself.
More importantly, I hope that people who visit this Mirror and I will be able to grow and mature together, through sharing and commenting.
