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!

It's all routine

With impending might, the first wave of finals is about to come crashing. And yet the inertia of bad habits remain unsolved. Depending on who you ask breaking a habit or forming new ones take 21 to 66 days. But in this critical moment, we should at least attempt to recalibrate your mind right? Finding motivation is hard, so we shouldn't depend on it. And yet most of us fall victim to the norm, we lack resolve to follow through on goals we ourselves has set. Motivation like "Iman" comes and goes. But discipline though hard to forge is what will override the gaps that the fleeting feelings give us. Maybe that's why Allah and his prophet (peace be upon him) has simplified religion is the 5 pillars. Growing up many times we are conditioned to keep praying despite how you are as a person, what sins you commit in your down time. A friend of mine the other day told me what matters is that you do the dos even if you do the don'ts because in the long-run you'll see...

On writing

Each of us has thoughts, some more than others and yet unbeknown to many. Having platforms to express them are one of the fundamental basis' of democracy but at the end of the day, numbers are what matters. Ranging from making decisions on where to eat to establishing entire governments, it's the majority that matters. But imperfect knowledge and personal biasses plague people's rational. People to me are mostly the same just exposed to different realities because of the different experiences that they go through. Of course their mindsets differ vastly. But the sharing of these uniqueness are what shapes an individual as well. Real changes are driven by a following and the strongest of those are driven by a common belief. And despite the weightage on matter instead of manner when it comes to expressing oneself, it really is of equal importance. One cannot work without the other because of innate human emotions and more particularly ego. People are not willing to accept ...

Deserted

Deserted. That's what this blog has become. Alienated and isolated from people. Guess it has no relevance, except maybe on the few occasions I'm diligent enough to pen out my thoughts. Maybe not even my thoughts, a facade but still a medium to vent and I guess if this blog is and forever will be a medium to vent I've come to terms with that. Funny how things change. At the very beginning of my blogging 'career', I wanted to talk bout my unique experiences inspire and analyse a lot of issues. Hell, maybe even make money. Now its an emotional dump. Change being hilarious, plays cruel jokes too. Funny how someone who meant so much to you before is now a stranger, and funnier still is the nonexistent punchline. No reason, if there is its flimsy, if there is it's questionable. Time heals and memories age and alter. And yet do you want it to? Pain is a 'fitrah'(privilege of living), like how happiness is as well. We experience, we learn, then adapt. I...
