Here's a poem that appeared in a magazine that I read when I was still a school girl:
THE RESIDUE
The years behind and the days a head
The unknown road that you must tread
The unmapped path and the thorny track
It's almost enough to break your back.
To think of how you're going to bear
That heavy load with none to share
Just how far you'll have to go
You cannot tell you do not know.
Just keep a brave heart and greet each day
Believing yo're on the way
To something better something great
Something that will compensate.
You often find when all is told
That what you missed is not pure gold
For the real comes with the residue
Of what life holds in store for you.

Monday, July 12, 2010
2010 is here, and already half way through.
Hello again. 2010 has been here (it's been A WHILE since I last wrote ) but I never made it to welcome the 'new year' at its beginning in my blog. When I saw on Academia that I've been searched severally since early July, I realized that today people get connected, formally or otherwise. Academia, Facebook and blogs become their platform. And, thus I should ardently write, at least to keep it up in my blog.
It's the new semester again at The National University of Malaysia (plus 'The' now as its brand name)as it starts the new semester for the new 2010-2011 session.
Early this morning, very early in this region indeed, 2010 FIFA World Cup final took place. I made sure I didn't miss it, and yes I saw the moment that decided the trophy belongs to Spain this time. Most impressive was not what I watched live from the soccer stadium, but some terms discussed by Malaysian commentators before the game was shown live. 'The Football Community' who must understand that footbal has a culture that need not strive on technology to decide on matters. Football means all involved and to be respected, the referees to decide on the spur of the moment if a goal is a goal or not. Computer chip in the ball to determine a goal? Not likely for an ordinary football match in a small village somewhere on the word map. It's more than just scoring the goals. But, of course, FIFA World cup Championship is of its on recognition.
Will I write more after this? May be, maybe not, perhaps not as often as expected.
After all who cares? Well, those who follow. Thanks, if YOU do!
