When mention about FRIENDS,everyone start to think about their friend.Some of them might also start to count how many friend they have since their childhood time.Everyone must have friend at least one in their entire life.Sometimes I asked myself, did I really understand what is the meaning of FRIEND?Do I really have a good FRIENDSHIP with my friends?Why people need friend in their life? why we being a friend for so many people at the same time? what is the real rules in friendship?All these question comes into my mind.
Why I choose to post this topic? Because sometimes I don't know what to do and when I don't know what to do, I alway think about this kind of silly question.SometimesI asked myself,why should I care about all those thing.Even sometimes I really crazy and I asked myself,who is the first person who introduced "A,B,C" AS a letter,who is the first personthat introduced the number, who is the first person that tell the others that the 'tree' is the tree, etc...But it is not wrong to create curiosity in our mind right.Anyway, lets go back to the main topic that is FRIEND.Because I love to visit my "Uncle Google", I asked "him" to explain me the meaning of FRIEND.Below here I attached some meaning that attract my attention that can be shared with everyone.
I'm not simply put the quotes below just for fun. Here, I post the quotes that reflect my thinking about FRIENDSHIP. I just don't know how to describe it with my own words so I need help from these quotes to explain to everyone on what I understand about FRIENDSHIP.

******That's all the quotes I can use to describe my understanding on FRIENDSHIP.What can I summarized here is everyone need friends in their life.No one want to be lonely because when we have friend, at least we have a partner to share our happiness and sadness. Even sometimes, the beginning of the ENEMY is from the FRIEND relationship.someone will not be someone else ENEMY unless there are friend before.********
This month(generally) and this week(specifically) is the busy week. Many things happen but not in my life but in my surrounding. This situation make me think a lot (although I should more worried about my study and final year project).Sometimes I asked myself, Why I must concern about what happen around me? Then there is no answer for that question instead of I'm still thinking and concern about all these thing.
1. Olympic Games in Beijing 2008
Yesterday I watched the Badminton semifinal match between our Malaysian player,Lee Chong Wei and Korean player Lee Hyun Ill.it is the unforgettable memory for all Malaysian.Since 1956 Malaysia join the Olympic Games, we only got 1 silver(badminton-"beregu"-1996) and 2 bronze(badminton-"beregu(1992) and individual(1996)).that is the best achievement by Malaysian athletes so far. After that, Olympic Games 2000 and 2004, Malaysian didn't won any medal.but yesterday, all Malaysian proud of Lee Chong Wei.He manages to make himself go to the final that is tomorrow.This mean he conform the Silver medal for Malaysia but there is still the chance for Malaysia to win Gold medal for olympic and if he manage to win it, he is the BEST and break the record for Malaysia.But, in the middle of the happiness still got some Malaysian hope he lose.WHY? Because the Malaysian government already announce that whoever athlete bring back GOLD Medal will be given RM 1 million as an incentive.Those people think that is the stupid decision because it will waste the people money. But for me, I think it is the right decision.
REASON: Malaysia want Gold medal in Olympic and it is something that everybody will do in order to motivate people to perform well.Imagine that those disagreed people participate in a competition where our country really want to win it for a long time then the government motivated them by giving a great big incentive,for sure they will grab the chance.In this matter, I hope people dont think negative way.Just bring along the spirit "MALAYSIA BOLEH". Beside that, I'm sure that Lee Chong Wei not doing this for the sake of becoming the instant Millionnaire.For the sport person or someone that participate in the competition, what they want is to WIN and perform the best they can.There is no issue that they really want the incentives.No one play for become a loser. Eceryone want to WIN and Chong Wei has proof it that he want to WIN and get his own satisfaction with his performance.Anyway Wish him good luck for tomorrow match."MALAYSIA BOLEH" Spirit must comes first.
2. UiTM issues
This is the popular issue for this week.The Selangor MB want to oepn 10% quota for non-bumiputera to become UiTM students and this issue get a fast feedback from evryone in this country.All UiTM student around Malaysia do the demonstration in order to show their feeling.They said that UiTM is for bumiputera and it will become like that forever.I always keep myself up tp date with this issue because i love to hear feedback from diferent perspectives.In my own opinion there is pro and con with that announcement by Selangor MB and I'm sure he has his own reason for making that kind of announcement.Of course my first impression when I heard about that news, I'm not agree with it. But when I think again and review the comment from other people through the news i watched from TV and read from local newspaper, I think it is not a bad decision.Sometimes people need to think outside the box.i agree that UiTM is for Bumiputera but sometimes we need to make our life more challenging.if the bumi's know that there always a place for them to study, they will not think about competition.they must realize that sometimes something that we own will be taken by others and before that happen we must be prepared to face it.in this case, i think they just accept the news and what they can do is prove to the others that the Bumi's still can perform well although there were non-bumi's compete with them.Sometimes competition is the best way to measure our real performance.
thats only my opinion regarding this issues and im sure that this issue will be settled as soon as possible because the main objective of going to university is to study and gain as many knowledge as we can, NOT to make ourselves involved in these kind of issue that everyone not sure when it will be ended.
3. MERDEKA
August is the most precious month for Malaysia. 31 August 1957 is the date where we are free.This year, Malaysia is 51 years old and it has achieve a lot since that day.This is MERDEKA MONTH but i'm very sad with the current situation.Everyone busy with politic issue here and there, criminal case,demonstration until they forget that they must make a reflection for this month.they must stop all these thing and work together to appreciate this month.Even until now, I haven't seen any advertisement that remind all the Malaysian that this is MERDEKA MONTH and everyone should celebrate it. I'm very sad. Although I'm not really know well about my country history but what I know is the effort that make by the elders to free the country from the British colonization.I think everyone should read back the history book and study well about the country history.sometimes I asked myself, can I survived if I was born during the British,Japan or communist time.Heard the stories from the elders and read the book already make me feel fear and scare.Luckily I was born after merdeka.Actually sometimes I felt very bad when i'm not appreciate the peace and freedom of my country.its like i'm not appreciate the effort of the elders (those who work hard for independent of Malaya).Anyway, for this 51years of independence, i hope that Malaysia more success.
4. My student Life
Arrrgggghhhh.....the normal situation as like other students.got assignment, test, project and friend issues.but I can handle it for this time being since its become my routine now.I always told myself that everything is depend on myself.if i can manage myself well, i can do it.but if i fail to manage myself, that mean i fail in my life.so why should the word TENSION comes into my mind.I should be happy because i got a chance to experience all these.
OH....my stomach already sing a song.time for lunch.hihihihi
Last Tuesday is the last episode for drama series "SinDarEla".The drama is ok and i like the ending of the story because it different from the normal ending of Malay drama where the hero must be together with the heroin.Of course when we watched love story drama or movie, we want the ending to be happily ever after and think that the hero meant to be together with the heroin.Frankly speaking, first I'm very upset with the ending where the heroin not choose anyone but when I think again and relate it to reality life, I think this kind of ending usually happen in the real life.Here I paste the the heroin monolog at the end of the story.After read these monolog, I start to think that not all lovers meant to be together for the whole life.The phrase "live happily ever after" just a tagline for a fairytale.Life is not worth it if there is no obstacle and hurt.Sometime we need to experience to be hurt before we find happiness.but there is no guarantee or warranty that the happiness will last forever.
Dalam hidup cinta boleh datang dan pergi
ketawa kerananya
senyum kerananya
menangis semahunya
sakit
Bermula dengan persahabatan
segelintir pula cuma sedar bila ia hilang
semata-mata untuk rasa dihargai
ada yang percaya cintanya untuk selamanya
for some of us
finally we realized that life is not a fairytale
we need to start over
demi sebuah impian
tak salah untuk kita berkorban
bila mana hati kita rapuh
menghadapi realiti
nangis...nangis semahunya
tapi jangan biarkn hati kita terus rebah
sejauh mana kita kenal hati budi seseorang
kita tetap tak boleh buat penilaian
in life
we have to learn to let go
and keep on moving
the more you wait
the more time you missed
bermula dengan hati, angan dan mimpi
sebesar mana pun kedudukan kita
segagah prinsip
mampu goyah
because of love
because we are human beings
mudah lemas bila cintanya lemah
kita harus kuatkan hati
percaya naluri
just admit it!
lafazkan cintaku mahukan dia.....
dalam kehidupan kita
cinta tak semestinya bersatu
terutamanya cinta pertama
