The Road Not Taken...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


Have you made major choices in your life?

Money is not everything?

How far is this saying relevant? Is it wrong to say money is everything? I know it sounds greedy to say everything in life is about money, but to me, money is everything. Without money, it's impossible for me to live, weather the money is earned by myself or someone else lend it to me. Without money I couldn't survive in the university, not just for the fees, and also to eat, not mentioning books and stuff. I wouldn't even be in university without money. Not having money could lead to tons of disasters, such as what happened to me. I lost my family because of money, money made me hate my own father, money made my whole big family turn into chaos, my late mother's family doesn't like my father because of the root cause of money, and I'm the victim caught in the middle. Money is a simple basic need for one to keep on living. Don't just simply say people are greedy. Money is everything does not show someone is greedy, it just needs the look of the perspective in what the person sees money for. If one says money is money is everything to buy stuff they isn't nessesary for their living, just to get a wealthy life, that is greed. Imagine a person, saying money is everything, because he wants to obtain money to live a happy life with his future family, want enough money to ensure that his future kids wont go through all the hardship he went through in his past, and wont get married until he can ensure that all these can surely be fulfilled. Is it fair to judge him as greedy just because, to him, money is everything?

How low can life go down?

Setiap kejadian pasti ada hikmah disebaliknya...

This is a common saying everyone surely have heard... but how far is this saying true? Have you ever thought of every single event in your life, every event that has been an obstacle in your life, has a goodness in it?

Damn...A year sure is fast...

It's my second semester here in UPM, and it has come near the end of it...I wonder why I have this feeling of regret. Regretting of the time passing by so fast? Regretting how I didn't do good enough? Why am I still not satisfied? Come to think of it, I keep on flash backing on my past memories on how hard I did to get into the university, sacrificing a whole year and half working to earn money to enter. What should I do to ease this confusion in my head...
