L for Loyal

Have you heard of an Iraqi who had betrayed his own country by spying his own country for the CIA? That showed how vulgar a human can be to his own motherland. As a loyal subject, he cannot just double-cross his own kin for his former adversary (now 'friend'). Loyalty does not only come with your acts or words, it comes from within the heart.

It saddens me when I read the newspapers lately about students complaining that they have not been offered to any scholarships for their further studies as they had obtained superb SPM results. Yes, they can gripe all they want but please, do not perceive the word 'loyalty' lightly. They even threaten that if they study abroad, do not haul over the coals for they will not use the knowledge that they acquire for the benefit of the country.

From that, we can see that they are no loyalty in today's youngsters. They object and protest without thinking thoroughly, blaming aimlessly. I'm not sure whether there's a flaw in the country's management or so, however, former President of the United States have said something like this; it's not what the country can do for you, but what YOU can do for your country. Faithfulness is essential for a country to be developed, it will crumble into debris if that factor is gone.

A little bit out of topic, me myself, is a fan of Liverpool FC (YNWA!!). Even though they didn't win the FA cup, but I still support them. I'm not a bias aficionado, it's just that, I'm too loyal to them to root for other stronger teams such as Man U. If you're loyal to something, whatever hails onto them, you will automatically shield them from any undesirable mockings.

Be loyal, not only to your country, but to your religion as well. Without the steadfast attitude, you cannot feel safe in the world, you will just feel something is amiss, it strangely surrounds your life. That's only my opinion, like in the Malay proverb, 'tepuk dada, tanya selera'.
Blogging is fun :D

Procrastination is the Thief of Time

My english teacher during form 5 days always verbalizes that very phrase to us. Obviously because most of us usually hand in our homeworks late (as in stacking it to one big pile, after we thought that they were too much to be handled, we gave them to the teacher for marking purposes, at last..). We knew our acts had been a burden to her since she couldn't give report regarding our progress due to our failure to submit the assignments on the designated time. Regardless of that, we still do nothing to improve, thus we got the punishment we deserved.

Procrastination sometimes can be fun (you can relax a bit before doing a responsibility) but as you postponed important things for too long or too much, the delightment of it will fade away for they will be back haunting you. Me, myself got into trouble once, I put stuffs on delay too much, as a result, i got nothing, not even a trick up my sleeves. Plans backfired, Goals looking dim, Results spoilt, those are all natural if you lighten up things that you shouldn't.

A thought came in; 'What if I do everything in an orderly manner, at the precise time? Will it change anything?' Well, of course it will, since procrastination is a thief of time, not really a thief thief, as in a crook/burglar etc. The emphasization in that phrase is to tell us how precious time is, and it kills us if we spill it all on the carpet.

Never ever let anything left to wait, as time waits for no man and opportunity most of the times doesn't come the second time around, so grab it like the time you spent on your blog :D

Myth or Lies?

Loch Ness monster, Cyclops, Minotaurs and other mythological beings to me are just things people created out of their sudden creativity during the old times. It's a wonder; how would they thought of such brilliant craps that have been lying kids with farce stories and tell-tales of how collosal or strong those creatures were.

Well I admit, when I was a kid, I really love those guys, especially the Titans from 'the Odyssey' (old movie, nice but lame CGs). However, as time passes by, I'm less fascinated to them, at least I'm still having the lust of wanting to play Age of Myhtology, a game packed with the likes of them as units (soldiers), slave beast are the coolest!

Okay.. That's already off topic.. Anyway.. Myths are from legends, legends are the prominent figures or stories that have been handed down from generations to generations. I'm a person who just can't believe something that I haven't seen with my big brown eyes. As people say, seeing is believing. Even dinosaurs left their fossils to us as proofs that they existed among men before (think so.. maybe not), while the mythological beings left nothing.

Thus, a myth stays a myth. I don't know how this whole crap starts but it's totally an utter bullshit. One more of a pointless post.. hahaha
