is it a year already?

It seems that it was only yesterday that i was taking my scroll on a stage receiving it from Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad......well, last weekend, it was the 7th Convocation ceremony of UTP......i was like is it already 365 days ago? because, after spending 5 years in uni and to get a scroll, receiving it from one of the most respected person in the world? the answer is yes.......

seriously time passes really fast nowadays...... ok back to the story, i couldn't make it to the convocation this year as i need to attend something....... but i heard the ceremony went well and all was happy......

however, i have heard that it was not the chancellor who gave away the scrolls to the graduates, it was the pro chancellor who gave it away...... tun was having sickness and couldn't attend the convocation......let's pray for tun to get well soon....

to all the graduates, i wish u all congratulations and may you have a great future ahead........

reflection

sometimes in life, when you r too bz with your daily life, once in a while, it is good to take a step back and reflect on our life.......this is to see where are we placed among the ones that we know......this is too appreciate of our achievements, friendships and also to improve our life...... by doing this, we are not only improving ourselves but to those that are surrounding us too.....

if we have choices to be made, it is good that we select one and never look back on what if ever happens if we had chosen the other choices..... by having made the choices, it is up to us on how do we want to maximise it to bring benefits to us....... the only bad choices is that when u dun make a choice............

this is our life, y let others affecting it.......

In life, we should reflect back what we have gone through

Quotes for considerations......

I had received a mail from one of my relatives which really gives me a wake up call....... the quotes are as per below:

• Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life....relationships works best when they are balanced.....
• Never explain yourself to any one, because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.......
• When you wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices, Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.......choice is yours.....
• Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again......enjoy every moment of life......
• Don't make promise when you are in joy, Don't reply when you are sad, Don't take decision when you are angry......think twice, act wise.....

The morale of the story is......you are the one who decides how your life would be.........

Singapore and JB trip

It has been nearly 2 decades since the last time i went for a visit to Singapore. 17 years to be exact.......well as for the weekend, i had the chance to visit the country as i had to attend something. My beloved 2nd cuz, kak ayu is getting married. kudos to her as she was really focusing to her career.


So the trip took off on saturday nite as we travelled to JB.......we arrived in JB around 230ish in the morning.....but it wasn't me who was driving, me dad wanted to drive so i just took a ride on the back seat and sleep through out the journey..... we stayed for the nite at our relative's place, aunt midah's house.....


the next morning, we had our breakfast as aunt midah bought lontong for breakfast......then we took our shower and got ready for the trip to Singapore........we left aunt midah's place at 11 in the morning...... and was searching for the money changer as dad forgot to change the currency.... finally we found the money changer near the Komtar building..... after changing the currency we hit the causeway........

after arriving on the Singapore side, i've noted that Singapore is a very clean place.....no wonder it is the 2nd world's most cleanest city after monaco......very proud of them, respect them eventually......but then we hit trouble, we forgot to fill up the form in which we had to fill up....then it took us about 45 minutes to fill up the form and then we had to buy the pass to enter to the city.....hmmmm, good policy i must say......

after settling down with the pass, we went through the imigration and also the customs to check and also declare anything that is necessary, but based on our stuff, we have nothing to declare....hehehehe.....once after the causeway, we were lost.....we wanted to go to bedok, but there was no sign......hahahahaha......then a policeman attend to our haywire mind....hehehehe, then he showed us the way and also it took us another 45 minutes to finally arrived to the place that we wanted to go...... through out the way, i saw places that were very familiar, like anis's place, tampines and etc.......

as we arriving, we were greeted by my relative haikal, haven't saw him for more than a year, he looked refreshed.....then the show begins, where i was greeted with more than a relative.... they hugged me and also gave me a kiss on da cheek.....i was stunned to be greeted that way.......i guess they were really pleased to see me.....hehehehe......then we had our meal.....it was really tasty and yummy.....it was nasi beriani on the menu.....they said that it is one of the best in Singapore the caterer i mean.....

then the bride and groom came where by they were really beautiful...... they had 2 themes......one was in a malay traditional theme and also a hindi theme......it was nice.....then later on we did catch up sessions and later cracking jokes....hehehehehe...... and of course there were the jackpot question whereby the elderly were asking me, "When is your turn fahmi?"......and i said to them, dun worry, the card is on the way, but dunno when will it will be completed.....hahahaha

later we had to say our goodbyes around 530ish where they wanted to hold us back....but then we really had to go.......we later checked in at Hyatt JB, where we booked 2 rooms......later at nite, me and my sisters went to a hawker stalls where i had cravings for fried noodles.....after having our dinner, me and my sisters chill and took pictures.......

the next day, we arrived in KL around 6 in the afternoon.....

what i can say, my weekend was fun and i wish kak ayu a million congrats to her......
