Farewell and Goodbye

Two years had passed in the split of an eye. I can still remember the day I step into the Intensive English Language Lvl 6 class (pls believe it, I was required to study a very shitty ENGLISH course in HELP before pursuing my degree) and everyone's face is so alien to me back then.

I guess it is still funny to think back how fast we clicked along and become really good friends. I will miss all the jalan-jalan cari makan and steamboat session with you, but at least I'm glad you've completed what you should do here in Malaysia.

All the best in your future undertaking and goodbye.

Umbrella story

The once bright sky has been covered by black cloud. A little girl was walking alone on her home. She quicken her steps and walk even faster to avoid getting wet by the rain. The rain suddenly pours heavily and the girl run to the nearest shelter. She saw an umbrella lying on the ground and decided to pick it up since it belongs to noone.

She uses the umbrella and it covers her all these while under the rain willingly without any complain. Having the hope of finding a good owner, the umbrella does its best in what it does, sheltering the little girl even under the heaviest rain even if it meant of sacrificing itself one way or another.

After running for quite sometime, she stopped at a spot to get some rest while holding the umbrella. She smiled at the umbrella and this makes the umbrella to feels happy thinking it was the hint that a good owner had been found. After awhile, she continues her journey home which is around 1km away.

When she nears home, the rainy day had passed and a rainbow is shining beautifully on the sky. She saw her home, feeling happy and wipe herself dry before going into the house. She suddenly remembers something and make a back turn to the opposite way of the main entrance. Flipping the umbrella, she threw it away on the ground before going back happily into her house. The umbrella, feeling disappointed, lies on the ground to wait for another worthy owner.

Things That Can't Be Forced...

I don't like gardening, but let's take some moment to talk about plants. The goal of gardening is to grow your plant of choice into a big, beautiful and healthy plant. In the process of growing that plant, you will water it, putting fertilizer, putting your plan to face the sun or even spray some pesticides to prevent insects from damaging part of the plant. There are times when your effort pays off and your plant grow up into a big and beautiful pot of... ya, plant. But there are times where the plant simply won't grow and some might even die regardless what you do, how hard you tried and the effort you put into gardening.

I guess that just showed the power of nature; there are things that can't be forced and it will remain the way it is no matter how hard you tried and whatever you do just won't change the simplest of thing. Taking a walk into the park and you will realize that there are plants that will grow by themselves without needing any cultivation.

This makes me think, why don't just let nature take its course?
