Straight from Failure!

As the shocking title might catch your attention, it’s not the literal meaning should be taken in consideration. What I meant from failure is actually the subject’s name of my elective course which is Failure Analysis and Design ( MEMB463). Basically my foreign lecturer tends to mumble in English (Indonesian guy with quite hard-to-understand command of English), which makes me getting a little drifted apart from the class. Haiz.

So what am I up to lately? Nowadays I am wildly engaged with ‘heavy-duty’ thinking on life after getting my scroll. Easily worn out for decrypting mixed signals of my desire for resuming my master’s degree which is also equally high as my passion to kick-start my career!

Soon i am gonna be like this!!

But I paused. A long pause from insanity mind. I rationalized myself, and I know the truth is this turbulent world, that life comes with stages and one can’t be expecting for things to come in one’s way as he/she wishes it at any point of time. We have to wait, be patient and do what we are doing now the best and plan the future accordingly. Sometimes it’s better for not counting the eggs before they are hatched. This is life so don’t rush. Be wise and learn gently cum gracefully with time. And for some, it’s learnt through the hard ways for the lesson to prevail till the end. Perhaps I am one of them. So I am learning to be patient and calm! Sigh.

What the future serves me, still a mystery and waiting to get unfolded! Easily deceived, that it’s a short term period but it’s actually a long way to go and it’s a lifelong learning. Adios!

P/s: mum, dad, Sanjay loves you a lot! =)

Expecting Low


Day in and day out, I always think I am lucky to have what I have around me. Of course, at times I do lament over things that I don’t get, but deep in me, I know for truth, that I am happy the way I am. Look at those who suffers from loads of factors surround them like those war victims and also those who born in poverty. It’s a shocking scenario to know that in the world, there are about 11 million children of the age below 5 dies in a year. Compare them with what we have with us now; don’t you feel you are lucky enough? Gosh, it sure rings a bell for me.

My close buddy always complaints to me that I grudge much on myself and the happenings around me. Perhaps I was blind folded by my own high expectation on something that is way too much than I should have. And now I recall on my best buddy’s theory; Keep your expectation low, anything extra is a bonus. It sounds intriguing and childish but that the ultimate truth that everyone should practise!

We should always thank Him for giving us what we have with us now. Stop being plaintive and start appreciating the God abundance that He bestowed on us. When you start to value everything around you, then I am sure you would get the little ‘bonuses’ that you should get. So from to-date onwards, STOP lamenting, and START appreciating what you have. Peace out!
