It's The Climb

" Cause there's always gonna be another mountain 

I'm always gonna wanna make it move 

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes i'm gonna have to lose. 

Ain't about how fast i get there 

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side 

It's the climb" -The Climb: Miley Cyrus-

I have always find comfort in this song. It kind of motivates me but at the same time helps me to keep my feet on the ground. In other words be realistic in your dream and to never give up. And whats important is the journey to the top. ;)

When i was young (not that i'm old now) i always have dreams that changes every other time i saw something new. When i went to school for the first time i tell myself i'll be a teacher one day (it did come true although for a short period of time). Than there was the ER drama. So yeah i wanna be a doctor. ahahaha... Than there's Buffy the Vampire slayer. I wanted to be her before i realize that vampires do not exist. Than there's Charmed (my favourite show of all time) But i knew there's no such thing as demons and witches and vanquishing potions and whitelighter so i only wish there would be something as cool as that in real life. :D

Now that i'm older wiser, i know what i want. It's just the getting there part that needs to be figured out. Remember how i say the media is the most powerful influential tool ever in this era. Well i know i want to part of this influence. But as what? that wasn't a clear picture until a few days ago. I wanna be a Art Director. Besarnye cite-cite. ahahahha... but of cause will start from the bottom.

If i were to tell this to my parents i think they are gonna freak out. yela mane taknye...nak belaja Usuluddin lepas tu nak jadi art director. takde kene mengene langsung kan.  Actually the reason why i took Islamic studies is because i feel this is my responsibility. To know, to understand and to satisfy this brain of mine that always came up with unanswered questions about the religion. And at the same time to spread it through media. Simply because people of today relies on media too much. It's like they'll be handicap without it. Me included.

Than why don't i just go for courses and seminars instead of wasting my time in Uni? Well you see to me its not the time or the outcome that matters. Its about getting there. The experience, the knowledge, the environment, all this teaches me some very important and valuable lessons. And something to fall back upon when everything else fails. :) You gotta plan for rainy day don't cha. ;p

And to further prove my point....i participate in the recent 7km run, Larian Gemilang held by my college. I knew i couldn't win of cause. But like i say its not about the outcome it's about getting there. It's about challenging myself. It's about getting out of the comfort zone and to try new things. I said that i'll try to challenge the limit for this semester right..well this is just the beginning.

The run was tiring no doubt. Endless hills and slopes. But i'm glad i manage to finish the run without any dramas in between. I was tempted to give up. You know like throw myself on the ground and act like i fainted or dehydrate or something so they will send the ambulance and i'll be carried away. hahahaha...

I did what i always do when i feel like giving up. I made it fun and enjoyable. I made the run mine. It is again mind over matter.

Starting line

This was our 1st band. We have to collect 4 bands in total.

Our 2nd band. :)

I learned something that day. Not to be greedy and finish the whole cup of water. ;p

Our 3rd band. And wanna guess where this band brings us to???

Taraaaa.....Bukit Cinta yang tercinta. I have no idea who manage to run up that mountain hill but walking up was tiring  enough for me. I was panting breath all the way up there. This is the killer.

We made it through Bukit Cinta. We got our last band for the run. hip hip hurray!!!!

We made it! We made it! We made it!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats important is that we had fun!

Our top 20. They came in 13th, 14th & 15th. Order is from the right. Congratulation guys.

It's not mine. tolong pegang je. :p

So you see guys...in life you gotta go out there and find the key that will unlock your future. You don't just sit around and wait for it to come to you or worse for someone else to find it for you. Naah! never wait but get up and do it. For yourself.

The chances i'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down

But no, I'm not breaking." -The Climb: Miley Cyrus-

One Minute of Fame

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you've already mastered you will never GROW" 

So that's what i will be doing for this semester. Am gonna challenge the limit and not limit the challenge. :) Gonna try all things that are possible to squeeze through my schedule. I'll GROW this semester to be taller in many more ways. Who's with me???

Looking and how fast time flies can be damn scary at times. I can't believe we are now in the month of March already. The 3rd month of the new year. Absolutely no time to procrastinate.

For the past week, myself and the rest of the Taekwondo demo (demo ni selamat hehehe) team have been training every night to do a demonstration at 12th residential college bazaar (@ frenster12). We put up a few shows on what Taekwondo is about and at the same time try to get people to join the team. It was fun rehearsing every night with the team. It somehow made us closer and strengthen the bond among us. If before this i felt so out of place with the team, now i can talk and joke without feeling awkward at all. That. to me, was a huge improvement in terms of communication. Now i'm looking forward to the family day event with the team. :)

The everyday training was not easy. It was tiring at times and everyone was trying their very best to push themselves to do more. There are hiccups here and there. Even right up to the actual day of performance which results in a missing member of the demo team. But alhamdulillah we manage to overcome it all and still put up a good performance for all. Well... no matter what happens the show must go on right. :)

We had a good time entertaining the audience and performing for them. Although mine lasted for only a minute or less but still i had fun doing it. You see, when you actually enjoy the things you do you wont really find it a hassle or a burden and everything seems much easier with that positive attitude you install in yourself. That's why i made an effort to enjoy the things i do. It's not that hard really, it's just mind over matter. :)

Just look at the smiles on our face. We did had fun ok. ;p

TKDUM Demo Team 2013

Ms Secretary, Fatin Turidi 

There's a video of our performance. I do not have it with me just yet. Will put it up once i get my hands on it ok. Than you can watch my one minute of fame moves. Hahahahaha....nothing grand just me enjoying what i do. :)

Don't be afraid to try something new. Just go for it and enjoy it. It's ok if you look silly doing it or not cool when you do it what's important is that you gave yourself a chance to try. Open your doors to new challenges and you'll be surprise at what you are capable of.

Don't believe what i say. Try it for yourself. ;)

Lots of Love
