Silent Confessions

Did my “college experience” lived up to my expectations?

Posted in Personal, Study

Assalamualaikum,

Almost a year ago, someone asked me a question on my Ask.fm, and I’ve been meaning to answer it, but as always, I kept putting things off. Thought that now is a good time (better late than never, huh?) to answer it, as it’s been a year since I graduated from college, and the past year has given me tons of time to reflect on my college life experience and to think about what I actually carry with me after I left my second home, Madison.

“Did you imagine the [university] life before you study in the [university]? So, is it same with what [you’ve] imagine[d]?”

Daily30: Choosing what’s best for you.

Posted in Daily30, Grad School, Personal

Assalamualaikum,

In this huge, huge world, there are an abundant of opportunities for us to grab. There are millions of doors to be opened and endless amount of paths to walk on. And while there may be tons of things that appeal to you, or that there are multiple things that caught your attention, sometimes you have to know when to turn something down and choose what’s best for you.

I did something today that I was hoping dearly I didn’t have to do, but I knew that I have to make that decision sooner or later, and there was no point in delaying it. It has been in my mind for the past year and a half, and was one of the things that kept me going and gave me hope, but for now, I have to let it go. I couldn’t hold on to it much longer, because I know that I should be moving on and doing things that may be better for me, in so many different ways.

Daily30: Letting things go.

Posted in Daily30, Life Thoughts, Personal

Assalamualaikum,

I took a day off yesterday because my brain couldn’t function well enough to write a blog post. For today’s post, I posted a poll on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter – asking my friends to help me decide whether today’s post would be on something light & fun, or deep & personal.

So here I am, 10-something at night, cracking my head at what to write about. So naturally, me being me, I Googled stuff. “Deep topics to write about”. A bunch of websites came up and all, all listing different topics and blog posts ideas and whatnots. I read through a couple, and found one website that had something I kind of enjoy, and felt like, okay, let’s do this. While in the back of my mind, there’s this nagging thought that says “dude you’re so going to regret writing about this“, but oh well. Here goes nothing.

When have you given up on something?

Daily30: “Titian Kejayaan”

Posted in Daily30, Personal

Assalamualaikum,

I’d be writing a short and quick one for today, but first, let me show you a 10-year old (or perhaps older than that) video from YouTube.

Now, what’s the significance of this song / video, you may ask?
