Happy Independence Day Malaysia

Happy 53rd Independence Malaysia! To all my friends enjoy your one day of holiday, especially those who had exams this morning..

"Truth"

I guess by now I'm probably using this blog as a way to let out my opinions. Okay here's the first agenda me and my best bud talked about:

"Truth"

What do we define as truth as these days? not telling a lie? being oneself? or just speaking up to what you believe in? ."Truth is presented to have a variety of meanings, from the state of being the case, being in accord with a particular fact or reality, being in accord with the body of real things, events, actuality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard, truth "behind" everything, the ontological truth. In archaic usage it could be fidelity, constancy or sincerity in action, character, and utterance.Various theories and views of truth continue to be debated among scholars and philosophers. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute" (Quoted from wikikpedia). As you can see there are many different approaches to tackle this meaning, should this also mean that truth itself has varied meaning for each individual? Perhaps as some people in this modern age has opposed to the pure meaning of being truthful as some deem it to be overrated.

Well then how should we define truth as now? Is it not to be true to your feelings and speak honestly (Quote from Amir). Well in his opinion for example in terms of love, a rose shows truth of ones feelings for the other. I can't be sure of this context since me myself have not been in a relationship but it's still nice to see that there are still some who still deem the truth as the best possible solution and not overrated.Although I admit I'm still kinda nervous on using your advice dude, I'll let you know how it goes out later on. As you see this days, some relationships are based on 100% lies; you see a few of this cases in USA as girls falling head over heels for a guy and only to find out how full of S&*t he is after they get married. I mean being a former American oriented dude I cannot feel anything but disgust for these individual males who tend to prey on helpless women searching for true love(goes against my code of ethics).What ever happened to relationships based on the being yourselves towards each other? or has that way of thinking also fade into extinction? Well the maybe I should have been extinct with it....

But is that all truth has been limited to? Love? cause clearly I can't see it being used in other departments that well as we see extortion,smuggling,black markets,laundering and under-bidding going around the world and it sometimes feels kid of depressing that we have come to that stage that the truth is sometimes based on lies in order to gain self benefits. Well hopefully to the youth today, (I don't consider myself a youth anymore) you guys can be better judge of character and try being truthful to each other so that we can finally end this long term cycle of lies...

Fairytale Life

As you all can see the pic above is all the descendent of my bloodline and yes they are royalty. My fathers side is the royalty of a place called Langkat in Medan. This family tree was given to my dad who had little proof once that we were in fact a part of royalty. I know the pic sucks so bear with me, my great grandfather was the poet Tengku Amir Hamzah (pic above the family tree) ; the one who died during the East Sumateran Social Revolution.For once after knowing this fact made me feel like one of this days maybe I do intend to go back to the land of our ancestors for a visit.



A little while ago my best friend Amir also pointed out that he just found out that his girlfriend of nearly 3 years now, Eyn is in fact also royalty ( I will not point out from where due to the personal matters). Apparently his girlfriend is also the neighbour of two of my Uncle's, both whom are also of high status.One is (although not 100% certain) is one of the prince's of Kelantan while the other one was a general of the royal army....and one of the few who was actually invited to West-Point! . After deliberating a few more hours on this matter, Amir made a bold statement that he always wanted to marry a princess hahahaha well whatever you have my support dude( Hell we've already known each other 10++ years). Well Amir may want a princess but as for yours truly, I just want a girl who is very understanding and independent, as those traits are like gems to me. For me, I would gladly pick a girlfriend who is not dependent on status but on the mutual respect one has for one another, status to me isn't everything. ( not wife, it's impossible to jump to final stage if you haven't even completed the first stage).A girl who is able to speak her mind, not afraid of standing up to what she believes in, now that for me is what I define as a very nice girlfriend. If it's not asking much please let her also have some ladylike qualities....( is this bias?) like the great lady Susan B. Anthony :) (yeah just had UKM's womens day, so I googled for info, so sue me).

Anyway's after a veryyyy long chat with my best bud, we finally did come to terms that each and everyone of us do live in a fairytale, each individual does have a fairytale dream since childhood and I think it would be a shame if that dream is not able to be brought into reality.Even so, one must not forget that reality can be harsh on everyone, be it the youth or the adults. But it is sometimes through this fairytale that one has accomplished that we all seek closure in during the bad times and somehow it does help to brighten your mood.Okay that's it for this post, the next post is about the main agenda of me and Amir's discussion last night, "truth"

A Grim future but a hopeful Present?

Just got back from hanging out with one of my best friends , Nada. Just couldn't stand to see her down and out after Advance Accounting paper. Apparently in her opinion she said it's 20 times harder than Corporate Finance, a paper we are both taking and the one I did not sleep and studied until after the exam.....this does not bode well for my second semester as a senior since then it will be my turn to suffer (pretty sure she's waiting for that too).

So we both went out with a spur of the moment plan to watch a movie and grab her hot hazelnut hot chocolate (promised her a week back, to all my shah alam buds i know it's a little late than usual for me to keep a promise so shut up, we had exams). We wanted to bring along our Accounting club president along but couldn't contact him at first since he left his phone at the exam hall (Dude!!). We still found it hilarious that he was suppose to meet an old chap of his in shah alam ( Me and Nada are both from Shah Alam, there's nothing there after 10! eehhh except for kopitiam's and mamak's).

We finally arrived at Alamanda thinking that it's closing hours so there should'nt be any crowd right? WRONG we forgot tonight was a Saturday night (blame the admin for making our exams on saturday so we thought it was a weekday). Anyways we wanted to watch step up 3D ( I actually wanted to make my so called campus "nephew" jealous, muahahahaha) but it was fully booked.So we opted for Grownups....and the movie did not dissapoint!. Although I still think it should be a PG 18 instead of a PG 13.....veerrryyyy funny and yet flashy movie ( there goes all my pahala from fasting).We also managed to seek in our starbucks drink without getting caught (bonus!)

So the conclusion to all of this is, in my personal belief is that after a day that has thrown you down the waterhole and perhaps even sunk you to the bottom of the sea, I think you should at least give yourself a pat on the back and say "hey I did my best, what's done is done". One usually always feel depressed after not being able to score or answer a paper, But that will only damper your resolve afterwards. So to all my friends who took advance accounting this semester I'll say this, I'll be proud of all of you whether or not you score or didn't... at least you fought until the end. Now go and put a smile on your face and wipe does tears of agony and concentrate on the next agenda at hand. (Damn why the hell am I getting so hyped on you guys,is this what they call the point of adulthood?)

Turning a negative back into a positive

Okay i know i haven't been blogging for months, didn't have the heart to due to the fact that a S&*tload of stuff happened. But on a lighter note i've decided it's pointless to be moody and depressed over every single thing that turns sour.That's why i've decided to focus on less subjects this year and extend my years in this funky varsity.

The reason i was able to pull myself out of my deep dark and oblivious hole was my friends,don't know what i would do without them.Seriously friends are important guys, especially those who are TRUE friends (not the ones there for your fame and fortune). I would like this opportunity to thank my best friends Hazri, Nuar, Amir, Shahiran and Abdul Afiq. I would still be mopping my ass in that state of depression. Anyways this new sem I'm already a senior ( yes I'm a frikkin 3rd year now) met up with friends that i nearly lost touch with, especially the accounting student's....I promise to rebond my relations with them some time soon (hopefully before you graduate). Been hanging out with the dudes and another close friend of mine Nada who I think is cool ( she's awesome yawl no joke!) to hang out with, apparently we have a lot of things in common as well (Finally a girl who is understanding or on the same boat (she has a dilemma with her douche-bag YDP college like I did in matriculation) :D .

Anyways my only advice is don't beat yourself up to much....life only comes around once and there's no turning back. So the hell if it takes me 5 years in UKM, i'll take it as long as my bonds with my friends will never break.Oh and for those of you who are still betting to see if i'm single or not....i'll leave it up to you to decide ( seriously, you guys have been hounding me since year 1 so i'm pretty sure you should know me by now and that sometimes i'm full of surprises....or not ) :)
