STOH

It takes a thousand steps away from where you belong to discover your true self. The earth rotates itself at the same time circling the sun. You wouldn’t felt the earth’s movement by standing still on the surface of earth. You have to go out to the space in to the vacuum darkness and a condition with no OXYGEN. Almost always the case, one being outside of your comfort zone will learn a lot more lesson than one being inside.



I love running when I was a kid. I am a fast one too. I am skinny and yet healthy. Back then, it was always my parents who will force me to eat some rice to increase my body weight. During that age of high metabolism, everything I eat will be furiously converted into energy and no fat left behind. This explains much of my energetic behaviours. I am very close to nature when I was a kid. I would go running to the beach to explore everything the universe has to offer. In my own way, I felt that life was quiet adventurous. Fishing is always enjoying even when there’s no catch. I learn making my first wooden fishing rod when I was 8.
Just besides the old house, there is a small sheds that granpa used to stored peeled coconuts. There, me and my cousins will spend the whole evening playing around, hanging on the wooden beams and aim birds with slingshots until its dark. Almost always every time our parents have to drag us from the sheds forcing to take bath. Electric supply is generated by diesel engine. So from 10 onwards, there will be no electricity. Which also mean, no tv. Bedtime story is always fun to hear when you have nothing, no other visual animated technology. The beauty of it is it does not have any boundary of your imaginations. It improves your ability to imagine, to be innovative and creative. It stimulates visual that only you can perceive.



Mother turtle lays eggs which later become little baby turtles. They will find their way to the ocean after they hatched. But, the nature has its way to control the population. Not all of the eggs will hatched, not all of the baby turtle will find its way to the ocean, not all of the baby turtle will survive in the oceans. Same goes to human. Babies are born almost every minute from all around the world. But not all will be lucky enough to have a comfort living. There will have to show some effort to be in one. Life is challenging. Everything that revolves around life will have its own unique way to deal it with. Until then, keep going ahead into a direction.

I miss those days as much as I want to go back for a visit, I will not change a thing about it not even the mistakes that I have made during my childhood, because with that mistakes I have made, I am what I am now. A better person than before.

REVISIT

I was just playing around with the googlesearch engine, trying to type my own name and what I found was the blog I had, that I adbandoned for almost 2 years now. For a sec there I thought to myself yea why not revisit the page and starts where I had left it. When I saw the last post it was about my industrial training. Then there is another 1 about a dad’s blessing, the one with 5 lovelyguys blowing the candles for father’s day. Believe in or not is been almost 2 yrs and yet it feels like it just yesterday. Which is btw why I renamed it time capsule’s. Not that it’s fancy or cool, but hell yea its my blog I’ll named it watever I want.

I was thinking to buy myself an ipad or iphone or DSLR cam. There are all expensive items, I can only afford to have 1. Lets play a game which I like to call “who can influence wira best”. If you can influenced me, I promise to not talk bad behind your back.kaay.

UNTOLD BURDEN BEHIND A LOVING SOUL

Once in the late 20’s a child was born from a poor Chinese family in a rural village area. He was born with perfect arms and legs although there were barely any modern meditations during those days. Life is hard back then. Due to the already big family they had, the parents are afraid that they might not capable to raise the child. They have decided to give this child away to a Malay couple from another village not far to be adopted.

With lots of love, the Malay couple treated this child like their own son and so does the sisters he had after that. To be able to survive in the thick jungle of Borneo in the 20’s are unimaginable. The education system and schools are still far from being implemented those days. Their math are to count the numbers of fish they have caught, their physics are to build a canoe that hardly enough to accommodate 2 person and their chemistry are to cook their meals which are all made from natural resources.
This child had grown up and became a man. As he is the eldest child, he had to work hard to feed the other siblings replacing his dad who are growing old and too weak to do any heavy physical activities. With no qualifications on his education background, he has learned the hard way to earn a living. A hard and honest way. He takes fees making canoe for the fishermen and when there is no demand, he starts selling coconuts and watermelons from the farm he starts on his own from scratch. As rivers are the only modes of transportation, he maneuver a poor conditioned boat along the Rajang’s loaded with coconuts and watermelons, but he is a one happy man. Familiar or unfamiliar he always make a move to greet others.

I am lucky to have a chance to ride it when I was small. I can still recall the sound of the rusted diesel driven engine of the boat although it’s been almost 20 years now.

They have 5 kids living happily in an old wooden house. Not long down the road of happiness he and his wife shared, born the 6th child of theirs. It is a baby girl. But in great despair, his wife passed away rite after giving birth to the last child. The virtue he shared with his wife never fade instead passed to the children he love. So I witness it myself. Time is not to be wasted, he struggle day and night to give his children the basic needs.

But time has changed. Before he realizes it, he is an old man. He sits at the verandah sipping a cup of tea at the same time staring far away with his own thoughts as the bruises of wind blows his thin white hair. The wrinkles on his face show how time really had passed vividly. Every night would be a sleepless night, the cough he had was getting thicker and deeper and I swear sometimes its just unbareable to even looked or hear the pain he had felt. Every step would be sore, but he never fails to cover it up with humors and laughter. Always standing tall with his two washed feet with hands set neat at the back of the waist.

And so was his storey of hardship he had gone through, like what always being told to his listeners. He did it, not just to tell but to hope that something would be learned from it. He’s a man that always figured out his own way to do things and always stand proud of it. Slowly, just before his final moment, he was calm and repeatedly recites prayers till his moment ends.

There are moments in life that you can’t forget when touched by another soul.

There are moments in life not even time can even heal.

There are moments in life when you began to remenice about the past.

It’s ok. Because it’s almost the only evidence that i’ve got to show I’m not empty inside.

Better than yesterday.

Different density of the hot and cold air resulted this phenomenon.As all of u can see, tis is wad my site looks likeee.

I been busy, busy with internship.Plus i have to work on Saturday which left only Sunday for me to rest.Since today is a holiday and i'd nothing on schedule, might as well i spend some time updating my blog which has been left out for several months now.A lot happened since then and i don't know where to start.OW YA..THIS YEAR RAYA ROCKS.I get to visit most of frens.They're doin fine, some already further their studies, some working and earn a good salary well at least good for my age.Some getting married,some engage and we share the joy together. At the same time i also get to meet new frens from work. They're a bit senior than me but i get to be treated like a grownups. I share my experience in college they share their thoughts bout life,marriage,working,money,hobbies and families. One of em even helped me improve my guitar skills and provide materials for me to learn.Construction site is their everyday playground,they're covers wit mud when it rains and breath dust when the scorching sun is above their heads and noises from the heavy construction machinery is a rhythm from their anthem. Its just how they make a living and contributing to society. Ah Tan.This guy can't even read or write.He didn't even finish his SPM.He looks late 50's when actually he is in his late 40's,have fewer teeth then most of the guys in his age,his skin can't get any thicker and darker. He's a general worker with 30 years of experience and always have the solution for all problems. If i have questions bout construction on "HOW" i go to him. If questions bout "WHY" i go directly to consultant.

A DAD'S BLESSING.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound religious book*, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money, you give me a book?* and stormed out of the house, leaving the book*.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new religious book*, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it* and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the book*. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God’s* blessings and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected?

Don’t let time pass you by before you learn to appreciate your loved ones.

Push myself to the limit.

2 more weeks left for study week.1 week for study week and then final exam. After that then internship comes. I can’t wait for that, the things that I had learnt about being a civil engineer all this while are going to be implemented during the 8 month of industrial internship. It is during this 8 month that all the things in the classroom make sense. In other words my studies for a degree started this Jun. I have to say this semester is so fast. Very busy too. But then I still participate in a lot of things this semester. HUHU. OK..see you near future. BYE…
