Strength

By -

I honestly believed that I'm not as strong as my words to others; written or verbally. I like to at least appear as strong in front of others, because I know that asking random people to go out of their way to help me is a bit too much. I can't expect people to be there all the time, so I honestly think that it's okay for me to put up a strong facade.

Really, I can't solve a lot of problems at once. I can't give answers to every questions all at once. I can't. I have this little trick; trick that took me years to master. A trick that will make you stronger, more focused even when you are at your lowest point of your life.

Here's the metaphor. I have a lot of assignments. Every assignments, is placed in its respective drawer for each subject. When I have time, I took out one assignment at a time, and tried to finish it. When I can't, I'll put it back into the drawer, take another assignment, after making sure I've set a reminder for the half-finished assignment. I know I still have an assignment due, but since I don't have any ideas for it, I put it away for the time being and try to finish another.

The assignments are my problems, my struggles in life. The drawers are just imaginary storage in my brain.

Will you be able to finish all the assignments by putting all of them on the table?
Will you be able to understand the questions asked in the assignments when you have all of them in front of you?
Will you be able to concentrate on another assignment if you keep thinking about the unfinished ones?

Nope. That's how I get by everyday. And yes, I do get overwhelmed by life, I do cry everytime I'm down. Sometimes I think it's unnecessary for me to tell people about this, because they said: "I'm not you,"

Yeah, I've been born with this ability of thinking-how-to-sort-my-problems, just like how I'm born with two eyes, one nose and one mouth.

p/s People need to learn that we have powerful brain that can do wonders if you let it be.

Masscomm

Dua, tiga hari lepas, kat Twitter heboh orang kutuk budak masscomm. Macam-macam provoke aku jumpa, orang butthurt, orang tak kisah, orang yang pujuk orang butthurt cakap "masscomm awesome", macam-macam lagila. Orang lain maybe tak peduli pun pasal benda ni, tapi yela, kalau dah kena kutuk, mestilah nak bela diri sendiri balik, kan? Ijazah Sarjana Muda Komunikasi dan Pengajian Media dengan Kepujian (Kewartawanan). Tu course aku. Aku tak cakap aku budak masscomm dah, aku cakap aku budak Journalism. Sebab apa? Sebab fundamental masscomm dah belajar masa diploma. Masa diploma, yup, aku budak masscomm. (Sekarang pun masscomm, tapi dah ada major). Sebagai budak yang dulunya suka Fizik dan bercita-cita nak sambung belajar Fizik dan kerja dalam bidang Fizik (astronomi ye, tapi kata orang macam far-fetched sangat), aku boleh nampak beza susah senang Fizik (atau subjek Sains in general la) dengan masscomm ni. Memang betul pun belajar masscomm ni senang je, tak macam belaja...

Serabut.

By -
Kepala serabut. Bukannya kerana tugasan sudah mula menimbun. Bukan juga sudah mula berasa penat kerana terpaksa berulang dari rumah ke kampus. (Rumah-kampus: 28km. Baru teringat hendak kira kilometer tengahari tadi.) Bukan juga masalah dengan kawan, bukan juga masalah dengan manusia lain. Masalahnya dalam diri sendiri. Bila kepala terlalu banyak berfikir, bila kepala tidak faham bahasa dan berhenti berfikir, mulalah merungut kepala serabut. Payah jadi manusia yang tidak tahu bila hendak berhenti berfikir, tetapi tidak pernah berfikir sebelum bercakap. Bukan seorang dua pernah berpesan, tak perlulah fikir banyak sangat. Bukan tidak pernah cuba, tetapi setiap kali kepala hendak shut down , untuk tidur, ketika itu datang idea baru untuk perkara lama. Dan idea baru itu akan dibahaskan dalam kepala sendiri, sehinggalah mata benar-benar mengantuk dan otak terlalu penat dan akhirnya tertidur begitu sahaja.  Bila bangun pagi, badan automatik akan bersiap, ambil beg, salam tang...

In just another blink of an eye.

When I was at lowest point of my life, I'd like to think that everything is unfair. I'd like to think that fate cannot be changed. I'd like to think that I'm going to be in despair forever. How stupid. Wasn't I the one who said that no matter how unlucky my life is, there will always be someone who is worse than me but are still smiling? That the term unlucky is only for the pessimist. That the fact of whether how much luck we have depended on how we get through everything in life. True, I had my share of bad days. True, I've lost things along my life. True, some of them are because of myself. Only to find out that I can enjoy the next normal day because I had my share of bad days. Only to find out that in order to gain some, I have to lose some. Only to learn that making mistakes is how I make myself better. What are you afraid of? You think that the problems you've seen are something you can't handle? Why do you think you can't han...
