Wazzup 2008.

It had been a wonderful year(every year in fact). Unlike any other year, 2007 was a year of maturity(no, it's not related to any zodiac or horoscope or whatsoever). I say, I've grown wiser and I'm able to view life from alot more different angles. All praise to God.

For example, I truly believe that life is a struggle, for everyone, the dwellers of Africa to the rich european merchants. We can't escape from problems, coz Earth is a platform for God to test how patient and faithful we are towards Him. And I realised that everyone is really equal. Money is just a factor of status. It won't be a factor to face God's challenges, how well you face them. We've enough faith, our struggles on Earth will be lighter, insyaallah. Prayers, it works everytime, in one way or another, really.

Thus, I see everyone, tall short, poor rich, etc, as equal. And I admire those people who really stuggled to face God's challenges with pure hard effort(like the people of Indon after the Tsunami). So, I wondered, will we ever have a life of our own, a problem-free life? It'll only happen, when we're good enough(based on our performance on Earth) to enter a place called Heaven, after we leave the life on Earth. Coz again, Earth is just a platform for God to test how patient and faithful we are towards Him. It all falls into right place perfectly.

And for example, I realised that IQ doesn't matter in the working life, really, after doing much kendarat on weekends. To get to the top, what matters most is the employee's EQ. Like my fellow kendarat-ian, he may not look as accomplished as what any employer desire, but he's easy to get along with and he's able relate with everyone, including our chong. And as a result, he was assigned as a leader for one of the wedding ceremony(me too, hehe, at Simei, jauh gile).

But not to worry, I shall still study, coz I've got nothing better to do as a teenager, lol. Okay lah, I won't be a rebel, coz receiving knowledge is considered as a Jihad(not suicide bombing) and it's a must(as good as rituals) for every muslim to go the distance for education, to expand our knowledge. And ofcoz, I wanna do well throughout 2008(an important/busy year yea)

No resolutions, coz I fear of not getting them done(like any other year) and I don't wanna remind myself of what is left undone.

But still... I wanna expand my social circle coz they'll be my future business partners! loll, nah... it's awesome to have more friends yes? and I wanna make it to 2009, safely.

This is one of the few early poems. I wrote this(about a year ago, on this very blog) to remind myself of how awesome it was with 2G'06. I shall pen it down again to remind not only myself, but to everyone how time flies, and how vunerable friendship can be as time goes by(2007's over btw). Friends are man's/woman's(everyone's) best friend

we took things lightly, ungratefully
the times we had, we thought we had infinity
we tend to forget, the wonders of our lives
the years have passed,
surprise surprise
we used to wake up to the same dawn
i miss you, now that your gone
