The GUIDE

"The weaker candidates, as always, had difficulty in the essays, selecting and adapting the material they had learn to the precise requirements of the question asked. So often, a moment's reflection and a brief comment would have promoted a slab of narrative so that it became a worthwhile contribution to an argument. The best candidates are analytical; their less ambitious colleagues should at least try to lace their narratives with pertinent comment."

I feel that there is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy =)

Take everything from the inside

Is home an elitist country? I think development is going at the right pace. I won't touch on politics but i think home has more space to improve on specific matters. The problem is that not everyone is willing to take the blame, to admit that they are imperfect, to accept criticisms and such. Lucky no people are dead from falling windows. I like the american education system better that the British system we have. I believe in learning not just obtaining grades.

We need someone who can take the heat, I think the new VC is a fighter, see how it goes. I don't think its that difficult. Just go with changes and don't be afraid to listen to criticisms as they should be treated constructively to be understood. Only when u listen can u then act with purpose. When everyone tries to be perfect than progress is made difficult. Islam propagates us to always be grateful but this should not be a reason for us to stop striving for improvements.

Muhasabah-criticisms are part of life. We should be more open to changes (good ones). Nothing is perfect. That is why god created heaven and hell. If everyone went to heaven, what would life mean? As Miss keys said, hand me a world on a silver platter, and what good would it bring? Allsaidanddone, home has little population to go with its development goals. Maybe home needs 'more-child-incentive'. We don't need more malls or buildings, we just need to improve with what we have. Keep our scholars and the educated, we need them. That said, they deserve to be treated like they should to keep them here.



Nuff said.

Unrequited Love

Im feeling sober. Then my friend would shout at me, "jobless!! emo!!". This was centuries ago. A Palestinian child was killed by Israeli gunfire. Father decides to donate child's organs to Israeli children.

Peace, at what price?

Parabola

Convocation fever is on, some fatty stalls all over. They were grudging to try the then-said Ahad's Burger. A friend of mine sort of recognized the guy behind that stall. We had a fine conversation.

He said: Im skeptical of the contents provided. Most of the channels are full of godly elements (dewa) and are only made for financial purposes in mind. Well this has to to with the non-Muslim producers and directors. Bruneians are still not ready behind the camera, most would shy away as soon as they see the black-electron (video-camera).

He was in the Sejuta Makna crew before and was familiar of the acting scene here. He preferred acting without the scripts as it was more "open". All that was needed were guidelines and props (MIB thingy). Its sad that the show didn't go on to continue, it was a good one.

The cliques I stick by...

- Even I realize its foolish to scratch a tiger's ass.
- Once u've squatted at the outhouse you know what colour shit is.
- I've not done anything good, but that everything I've have done is not wrong.
- opinions are basically alike on most matters, its only when people try to second guess each other
that problems arise.
- if you don't listen to reason there's no need for me to be reasonable.
- rumors from the near truth is better than rumors from lies itself.
- lies repeated a thousand times become truth.
- before you can change the world you must understand it.

Callused Heart

I'm nervous,
counting the hours till i see you again,
looking out the window,
where we sat to watch the same star...
my heart feels...
you may be miles away,
but i see the same side of the moon,
throughout time,
i've been watching u...
letting your smile serenade my heart...
wish i could keep that moment,
moments that will keep me close to you...
and though you'll never see,
all the tears shine through,
i know i cant be that far from you,
if we're looking at the same star...

Stop!

Like a vacuum,
perish all the spaces around me...
autumn was never so beautiful,
drops of water falling like pearls.

Rare flowers,
sweetly blossoming,
slowly arresting all expectations,
Yet u've denied u've even seen them...

Marbles rolling delicately,
balancing the hidden forces...
signs of heavens,
dancing along the wicked smile...

Cuddles and hugs,
must nature end tearfully,
love is blind...
yet clearly you're in love.

Incubus-i wish u were here
