Slap--->Blog



Strong feelings trigger the kind of motivation needed to achieve leaps and bounds. Though this blog may not be the ultimate success to celebrate about, it’s still a pretty big deal for me. But I regret to inform you the source of my sudden epiphany is nothing to cheer about, but of course everybody deserves a slap from life every now and then. Mine however came from a bank.

No, I will not unleash my sob story. No, I will not hate on the others who was fortunate enough to clasp it. And no, I will not tell you to give up on life because it’s unfair. Because well, ultimately, it is.

 But since I'm already ranting about it I will counter-weigh it with a few dedication; Congrats to all who got the BNM scholarship! Esp my good friends Edda, Aimran, Faidzal Faudzi, Zaryff, Hafiz and the golden Aiman Sabeh. You guys deserve it :)

Coming back,

With everything there is there is always a learning curve and probably I have not been following the coordinates. Using my own moral compass oblivious of what’s right and causing certain taboos and innuendos some deem unacceptable. And I don’t blame myself nor should anybody blame themselves as well. It’s only natural for people to think better of themselves and remain ignorant on their faults. But these slaps provide us proper leverage to re-adjust our mental outlook on life or in other words go through a 'Paradigm Shift'. Whether we choose to seize this opportunity is up to us entirely. Only then you can start the blame game where you are the only player.

Reflection time-outs are always a good option but sometimes you just feel that you have done your best and still it’s not enough. If you can’t find fault on yourself, ask the next best person; everyone else. But usually you can pinpoint a few strategic people that conspires against you (the think-tank of the Slap)-so to speak. These are the people that will help you the most, exactly why if I really don’t get it I’m gonna make an appointment with Dr. ***** and really dissect what really happened on that fateful day. I'll let you know how it goes btw.

On the other hand, the slap makes you see things in a new light. Cherishing back everything you have; things ranging from material goods to invaluable relationships with loved ones. Reminiscing the sweet words, the priceless trinkets and unforgettable moments. It makes you feel thankful for what you already have instead of feeding the forever lustful desire to self-gratify yourself. For all these moments, they helped us get through thick and thin.

So I too would like to take this opportunity to thank them, though you may not think you matter to me, somehow, someway the times we spent and things we did will help me make the right decisions and make me a happier and better person. I don’t think that I can pay tribute to all who have made me who I am and I regret that, but just know our friendship has and will never be in vain.

As I mentioned earlier, in retrospect life has been fair. Happy Slapsgiving!

Three days prior -MSLS XI-

4, 5 drafts line up on the dashboard, none nearly finished and honestly, I don't know why. It can't be writer's block. Could it be lack of resolve of what needs to be said, have I lost my ability to BS at will? The thing is whatever I say on this blog is strictly the blunt truth, there is no following nor is it in any way intended to serve anybody but myself. So there really isn't any incentive to overinflate posts nor would there be any sugar coating here. But undoubtedly there is a source to void. Currently, I am at my childhood home, Kelab Darul Ehsan. I used to spend days here with friends and family without a care in the world. A much simpler time where your biggest responsibilities were your own. Nobody to represent, to rely on you and look to you for guidance. The expectations are deafening and stakeholders diverse. MSLS is in three days, arguably the biggest annual event UKEC has. And here I am. I was moments ago staring onto a blank piece of paper try

Anger and Frustration

Paralyzing anger is one thing but a constant pulsating frustration is another. I seem to be experiencing one or the other more and more often. It distracts sometimes but could also be transferred to intense focus. It really does depend on the nature of the source. So many triggers. Who is really directed to? People around me, God, or the universe conspiring against me. Or does it stem from me? I'm just tired, I probably need sleep. I apologise to my future self in retrospect for sounding grim. I'll try to follow up with a step-by-step to remedy this soon, post exams.

Turbulent times

At the peak of adversity, that's when our character truly develops whether it is for better or for worse. Somehow the universe naturally lets bad predicaments gravitate to one another. Where there is pain, there will be a child poking at it. And all of it somehow culminates at the most inconvenient of times. And we are not alone in the battle within ourselves, there is one raging in each one of us. Some of course more than others. But we shouldn't discredit each other and think for a second ours is of more grieve importance. Bad things happen to good people and the more you live, the more you accept the fact that bad news is just a matter of 'when' not 'if'.  There are many ways people choose to deal with their adversity, some retreat to a virtual world where they are king, others result to cigarettes and alcohol. A different kind of reality. Bad times don't last, well they do if you allow it. Move along. -A Tribute to this impossible year.
