Wisdom of an old fellow...

First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college… ...and then I was dying to finish college and start working …then I was dying to marry and have children …and then I was dying to see my children grow so I could go back to work …but then I was dying to retire …and now I AM dying... …and suddenly I realized that... …I forgot to live... Please don't let this happen to you... Appreciate your current situation and ENJOY EACH DAY!

The Teacher Me

When I was a kid, I had my own fantasies, and my own dreams and ambitions. But as I grew up, I realizes how this world was corrupted. And with time, those childhood dreams started to fade away as a new and more challenging dream started to live within me. My ultimate dream in this life, is to change the world, to change it to a better place. But then again, I am just a weak human being that will not live long enough to change the world. No matter what I do, it will not affect the world in the long run. So, I knew that I don't have the capability to fulfil this dream...And I thought in myself, "I am not the only one who lives in this corrupted world, so there must be others who share this dream with me". From that moment, I decided to pass on this dream of mine to other people. Then again I thought, to whom should I pass my dreams? My family? Or whom?...I know that my family have the same incapability to fulfil this dream...so I decided to pass on this dreams to the next

Adventurers vs. Dreamers

Some people have already in their mind the picture of their ultimate happiness in this life. They already planned for their future and they strive very hard to achieve it because failure is not an option for them. While others, they don’t want to know anything about the future, only what they will eat on the next meal! They might be afraid to face the responsibilities and afraid of failure, or even they can’t find for sure what is their goal in this life. Both of these groups have their own pros and cons (hehe, started to get influence by my American friend and classmate). For an instance, me, I am from the first group. I do plan (lots of plans by the way) and I do have my dreams. However, sometimes I feel like I want to be from the other group. Why? Ok, listen. I have my ultimate dreams and I believe they will come true. So, when I look at my life in the long run, I know the last part of it already!? It is the day when my dreams become true. Then it’s like reading a novel when you al

Ummatic Week, behind the stage

Praise to Allah, the exalted. Ummatic Week 2010 was a success. Everyone in the committee did his/her best. Of course, it was hell tiring, one of the committees fainted because of lack of sleep. Another one almost went crazy due to the stress. And the PIC of my bureau was so pissed and angry to the extent he couldn’t do anything but laughing. Speaking of my bureau, I say that the cultural performance was way better than last year’s. We had problems, but it didn't resolve in violence like the last time. I really like the Indonesian cultural performance. Also I like the Palestinian. I’ll try my best so that next year there will be a performance by my country, Thailand. In my point of view, Ummatic Week wasn't in the main hall of CAC, not on the stage, not even at countries’ booths. I believe that Ummatic Week was in the OR, Ummatic Week was between us, the committees. Some of the spectators were just a bunch of people fighting which culture is the best. Most of the country r

UMMATIC WEEK 2010!

Ummatic Week 2010 will be from 1st to 5th of March...huh? You DON'T know what is Ummatic Week? Anyway, I would like to tell you but...as they say, what it is well known can't be defined, and also no matter how I put words together, I wouldn't be able to fairly describe it! So, if you don't know what is Ummatic Week, come to CAC and see it yourself! Since I won't be able to describe the ummatic week, I'll tell you the tentative of the program 1st of March. In the early morning, we will have the Ummatic Run! More than 100 participants will run together around the university main road! There will be prizes for the first 10 winners! .....Unfortunately, I have a math quiz and I wouldn't be able to join them :-(  As usual, we will have the cultural exhibition. The booths will be opened from tomorrow until the 4th of March. There will be more that 20 booths this time. In the night, we will have the opening ceremony. And it will be fun! I really encoura
