What a day... Down and Ups... Saa Yukouu~

Assalammualaikum...

Today is the planned day... the day I decided to do a change in my life...

What I've planned is that I want to deactivate my facebook account...

And coincidentally it is the same day one piece chapter 589 will be out after a month long hiatus.

But then another big news also arrive today~

It is a news of something I have been praying and working hard for the past months...

But unfortunately, it is a bad news... I have fail to get what I have hoped to achieve, not only that I am not even a step closer.... I've fallen behind actually...

Oww man..

I was so dissapointed with myself... what a weak being I am... I am more dissapointed that I could not be grateful (which I should be...)

It really made me feel that I should not dream high... let's just play it easy and it'll still be alright... because even when I put my effort into it.. it is still the same...

Perhaps...

I should just aim low... huh... I dont know...



And before I close my facebook account on 12.01am of 1 October...


I wanted to read One Piece 598 to commemorate that event~ To make it more romance...

But it doesnt come out...


I waited for so long...



Finally, at 11.30pm it came out... yesss~!! Its so cool~ Chopper is so cute~ :) I'm so pumped up for this new world of one piece~

And because one piece is headed for a new world, now I'm pumped-up to continue with that change in my life that I've planned~ I'm gonna head for the new world as well~


And so approximately on 12.06am 1 October 2010, I closed my facebook account~ yoshhaaa!!


Saa Yukooo~ (So, let's go!!)


Is it the end of my social networking involvement?

Nope!!

Found a new one, One that I believe is much2 better !! It is...

DeviantART community!!

I'm so into deviantART now... just by browsing a few pages, I found these couple of muslim mangas that are very inspirational and entetaining~ it's like... wow!!

So if you're reading this... and you have DeviantART account.. please add me yeah!! I got no friends there currently.. :(



Fuhh, Alhamdulillah~

I guess the dissapointment I mentioned earlier is less now...

Saa Yuukou (So, let's go!!)
Tachidomaru Koto Naku (Without Stopping)
Nagareru Toki Ni Makenai Youni (Without giving up to the flow of time)
Nando Mo Tachimukai Tsuzukeyou (I'll keep getting back up)
Taisetsu No Mono Ushinaitakunai kara (Because I dont want to lose something precious)

Boku no naka ni natareru koe wa (The voice inside of me)
Zutto zutto boku wo sasaeteru (Keeps sustaining me)
Itazura na ame ga jama suru kedo (Wicked rain will get in my way)
NIGENESANAI KARA (BUT I WONT WALK AWAY...)

Saa Yuukou~
Shinjita sono saki e to (To the FUTURE I BELIEVE in)

-One day, The Rootless-
*One Piece new opening~

Goodby me Facebook~

Salam,

Throughout my one-week holiday last week... I got this feeling...

Especially after watching Motorcycle Diaries and 5cm per second...

How life is wasted on Facebook~

How is those movies and facebook related?? It's a long story...

Anyway...
To quit facebook... its hard yeah~
How do I keep in touch with my friend?
How do I know what event will be there?
How do I share / see my/others pictures?
etc etc..

Suddenly all this came to me when I was thinking of quitting...

But then I remember (at least) three of my friend who do not have facebook... they are living happily without any concern at all, and they still maintain good relationship with their friends~

It's frightening...

How our life is controlled by facebook... to the point that...
- we cannot quit
- when we open any computer , be it our laptop or library... we must open facebook first
- it is actually wasting our precious time!!!!


Some might argue: "I'm not wasting time, I'm keeping touch with my friends"
For me, its actually more like meddling in his business (which he posted on his wall)
Or complimenting other status by putting "like"...

What's the point???

WHat's all the damn point of putting "like" ???

Initially, when facebook dont have the "like" option... people dont even care about that... but now suddenly when they introduce that, it became a "like" pressing spree...


That's why its scary... what else will they introduce that will make us into their puppet next~??


Yes, we are becoming the facebook puppet !!! That's exactly what I'm feeling..


And there are people who use facebook for da'wah...

Personally, facebook da'wah has never been affective for me~ it's just so superficial~ but maybe it's working for others.. i dont know...

but from my observation... it only works for those who are already "good" and "already in da'wah field"... people who are enlightened DIRECTLY through facebook... havent seen it yet.. only those who are enlightened outside of facebook (ie. face to face) then decided to use facebook for something good... that I see...

Well, this is just my own opinion... not backed by any evidence nor literature~


Anyway for all the good thing is facebook... there's always that bad stuff that will always be there...

You know what it's similiar too...??

Hollywood movies~!!

For example... lets take this one movie entitled "If only" (google for more info)

Its a romance movie... usually good (ie. alim) people will not see that movie... because it has scenes that is not appropriate, frankly speaking... mild sex scene.. like most hollywood movies...

But hey, there's a lot of positive message in the movie... like caring for your loved once, appreciating them while you still have the chance.. I actually almost cried watching it.. it really made me realize that I should appreciate my loved ones while I still have the time...

That's definitely a positive message... but that movie is still not appropriate to be watched, right??

Hence, I feel facebook is the same... yeah, there's a lot of good stuff can be done, but on the other hand I personally believe the bad stuff (especially time wastage) heavily outweigh the good stuff...

So, yeah again this is just my opinion...


Anyway, my mind is set...

"A real man will never change his mind once his target is set"


Hence, me facebook account will be closed when October came (InsyaAllah)
September is my window period if anyone really want to keep in touch, they can get my email address of whatever through facebook...



I miss the times when internet is not available 24/7...

There were so much time to do other stuff~

Now we are just a bug caught in the web...

A puppet controlled by the string...

I want to become the crow again~

Living freely and surviving in the world~

Soaring high in the sky~


Yup, in addition to the return of One Piece , with adventures to the "new world" next week, it will also be the week my facebook will be closed...

So I'm like starting a new adventure to the "new world", a world without facebook~

One Piece will be back... aren't you excited!!????

*a little bit off topic...

5cm per second...

This morning had a dream...

The situation is very similiar to 5cm per second which I just watched recently....

The day before, found a letter that is not sent (or not read to be more precise)

Then, sleep and dream about it.

Very similiar to the final scene of 5cm per second... where the female protagonist found the letter and later dreamed about it...

Coincidence?? Humm...

First class Honours~

Assalammualaikum...

Shouldn't be posting blog now, should have been studying now...

Got big exam this wednesday...

But too tired... bace bace tak masuk....


Anway, recently I found new inspirations to strive in uni life...

That inspirations came from the graduating Petronas seniore... My ex-housemates and the only other smartians in UNSW~

Because they got 1ST CLASS HONOURS...

I'm so proud for them, I'm sure Petronas is also proud of them!!
What more, they are my ex-housemate and another smartians~!! wuhuuu

Zahid (ex-housemate), tak mo graduate kat Australia, graduate kt Malaysia je

Pejal (ex-housemate) - graduate kat UNSW.. congratz2!!

Azleen (seniore smart) - Smart mmg smart di mane2 sahaja

Now... as for me...

I've been thinking recently...

1) This year, I've seen people close to me excel academically (looking at you, junios~)
2) Somehow, out of all the people possible Allah SWT set me up with housemates that are geniuses!!
3) Through some funny twist of fate, there's actually another Smartian in UNSW, whom I would not have known she was a smartian if not because of ISOC + IAW + Big Iftar (when I first find out about her) and also because of her little sister through which she knows me and pointed out the fact that she's also from SMART.... well she then went on and gotten a 1st Class Honours... hmm...

Now why is that so?? Suddenly this year I felt like I'm surrounded by these great achievers where my meeting with them has been set up since last year... and this year... they inspired me so...

I believe Allah SWT is showing me something here...

I believe Allah SWT once again, on this lazy and weak soul, given me guidance...a hint... a reminder of what I should be striving for...

To be honest.. last year, my uni life, academically speaking... there's nothing to be proud of... I cannot be riya' even if I want to...

Is it because it is hard?? Culture shock?? Homesick?? Social problem?? Nahh....

It's because I'm lazy!!!!!

Allah SWT has given me a housemate who I can say is the most hardworking person I've ever seen... and yet for one whole year (one and half actually).. I did not learn anything from it~ Allah SWT could have easily placed me with someone lazy (just like me), but no... His mercy is limitless even to someone like me~ He placed me there to show me something, for me to open my eyes~

In addition, my seniore, Azleen showed me that SMART, even though we are very few and unknown here in UNSW (now its me alone) , we should always be SMART and show the world that SMART is the best la~, in line with MARA terus MARA, SMART memang SMART ar~

If I, now, after all this reminder turn away from that and continue on being lazy and just aiming for just "pass" like last year~ how low will that make me be?

So yea... from now on... its target = HD (high distinction) for every exam!! Can you dig it??!?

InsyaAllah, I pray that Allah SWT will one day turn me into a Muslim University Student that I have promised my sponsor (MARA) I will become..

"One who try his hardest to be and IS the best of the best"

I think somehow all of sponsored student here in Australia, regardless of course, made that promise to their sponsor that they will strive for the best, or in another form of sentence but with similiar meaning...

So yeah, then as a Muslim shouldn't we fulfill our duty and obligation to our promises~?

Exams in two days before Eid, hopefully Allah SWT blessings during Ramadhan will make it easier for EVERYONE in medicine to get HD~

Assalammualaikum~
