Its facinating and weird at the same time how things look for different POVs.
Beautiful no?
Who would have thought that its from the exact same photo except that its taken at a completely different hour of the day?
Time really does fly.
I remember it was just yesterday that I first step foot into UKM to do civil and environmental engineering. Bangi was the last place I thought I would end up, UKM being my final few options in my list of universities application.
Up till today, I still ask myself, “Why did I choose not to go to Canada on my own free will?”. At times I still don’t know if I did make the right choice. But its one I have to live with now.
The first week in local university was hard even for me as compared to those from the chinese background. It was easier for me to fit in with the malay group, given the fact that I speak the language like one. This too meant that I had a difficult time conversing with the mandarin speaking chinese.
This mother of a staircase to my room back in hostel days taught me how to curse in Mandarin and Hokkien.
I started off in local university, getting hooked on DotA and ended up being a semi-pro at the end of it.
It was here that I found God in my life.
Along the way came us.
I picked up photography on my own and what a passion I have for it now.
It is also here in these 4 years that I came to love and hate flights.
Now here I am at the end of what I began 4 years back. Am I satisfied? I never really like structural engineering like I loved automobiles but time soon thought me that my passion lies in the environmental side of engineering like marine engineering. These 4 years have taught me that getting screwed is an art. Its how you get yourself out of trouble that counts the most.
Now I look back and I see.
There’s still a long way to go from here on out.
Just went on a pre/post-merdeka vacation with both Grace and Hin Loong to the eastern corridor of the Peninsular for a little time out. The journey was pleasantly smooth with the now completed East-West Highway from Gambang eastwards. Grace/Loong will most probably cover most of the shots I snapped throughout the days spent there.
Time and tide waits for no man.
One minute the tide was a distance away; the next thing you know its right back at you. Nature is such. Unpredictable ain’t it? Will things still be the same as it is now? Will it change for the better? Questions are met with more uncertainty that leads us back to square one.
Awaiting to be swept away.
At times, we all feel that no one out there seems to understand what is going on deep down inside. The insecurity of what life has to offer be it for the better or worse creeps up and slowly seeps into the cracks. Often we choose to go through rough patches alone, like the seashell on the shoreline; oblivious to where we might end up, not knowing the beginning from the end.
