Saya suka bola. I love football. Big fan of Liverpool FC. But, my health is more important. The lack of sleep and cacamarba of my sleep patterns watching the first 2 group rounds really brought me here. Anyway, I can record it in Astro anyway, and watch the highlights later.
I have my own compilation of Astro highlights here.
Most emotional match of the group stages for me - Denmark Russia
After what is happening these past few weeks ... yeah, another change is in the air ... especially relating to me ... new habits to adapt.. old habits to discard ...
I read this today and thought I should post it to my ex-students

Advice to the me of years passed:
1. Everything happens for a reason, so don’t worry about things - they work out for your good in line with your destiny. (Just remember faith without works is dead. Do your best and let God do the rest.)
2. What you study in school gives you more than just base skills in one area - you don’t have to be narrow and work only as an accountant because you studied accounting. Be open minded. You possess cross-functional skills.
3. Success and failure are not mutually exclusive. As you grow and succeed you will also learn a lot - brace yourself.
4. Don’t dwell on rejection. It’s redirection and for your protection.
5. Give yourself some grace - you don’t always have to have a plan or have things figured out - refer back to 1.
6. Not everyone will like you and that’s okay - you weren’t brought here to please everyone.
7. Never dim your light or play small to make others feel comfortable.
8. Listen more than you speak.
9. Stop being so apologetic. Especially, stop apologizing for things you had no hand in. Stop apologizing for other’s short comings - that’s one of the quickest way to become a scapegoat. (Always apologize where you were wrong.)
10. Revel in the moment - stop trying so hard to think about “what’s next” that you don’t enjoy the moments in all aspects of life. (Just don’t slip into complacency.)
Bonus: save your breath/reclaim your time, not everything is worth the argument or debate.
I didn’t turn out too bad - lol wish I worried less tho. 🥲
Once a while, my body tells me that I am not that young anymore, even though I feel young. And the strain of watching the first 2 rounds of Euro 2020 caught up yesterday and today. Luckily, most of the time I am still able to conduct my classes. But still, now, the sleep debt payback is here :P
I need to take care of the temple better.
I love this song ... makes me feel my age :P
PS/ I have another blog .. especially about my memories ... here.
Ahh ... it is here. Dah tiba. Syukur2 I am still alive :)
Current State : Happy and Grateful, with my wife and kids.
Work State : Di INTIKL sebagai pensyarah sehingga Dec 2021. INTIKL akan tutup hujung tahun ini dan setakat ini, tiada transfer ke mana-mana. Bulan 10, dapat surat bye2 katanya. Telah dipermudahkanNya untuk aku jalankan fasa seterusnya hidup.
Dulu2 masa umur 20an, aku terlalu rajin melihat ke belakang, especially in matters of the heart. All the couldas, shouldas, ... sampai aku tidak melihat masa sekarang dan masa depan.
Bila dengar lagu You're In Love oleh Wilson Phillips today, I finally get it and understood, why I am doing better now. I can let it go and focus on the present and future.
Sejak kebelakangan ini, dah beberapa bulan ini, akal den dah mula panjang. Sebab umur kot ... mungkin sebab pemikiran juga ... banyak perkara yang dulu tidak berapa den paham, now makes sense.
Kadang2 kita korbankan diri kita, harap menjadi lilin, mahu dikenang ... tapi kecewa bila tidak dihargai ... pengajaran klasik, doing something for recognition tends to lead to disappointment, .. do it kerana anda mahu buat, for your own sake.
Mahu menjadi hidup cogankata BRC ... "berilmu dan bermanfaat" ..
Dapat sijil komitmen di bawah. Okaylah, tapi belum tamat lagi .... akan saya teruskan.
Masa depan di INTIKL akan tamat December 2021. Yep, akan bernoktah. Pemberhentian secara dot dot dot ... in the end, you are just a number. Scary though bila tuan besar datang dari Tanah Besar China.
Yeah, sudah 2 minggu beliau pergi ... his passing still reminds me of my inner self ... which is slowly coming out ...
Reminds me of this dialogue from this corny teen flick 'Down To You' starring Freddie Prinze and Julia Stiles ... " It is not the meaning of life, it is the feeling of life .... " clip below
