Unsung Heroes

There are many heroes in our lives. Most of them went unnamed & unnoticed, contributing all they could to make the world a better place to live in.

You don't have to have superpowers to be a hero. All you need is a heart & compassion & the will to help.

Shed all the materialisation, forget the attention, the fame & the fake beauty you seek endlessly. Let your heart return to innocence, right where it was when you were born. Search for the true sense of belonging & someday somewhere you will be a hero.

Past. Present. Future

Yesterday I logged on to mmu online to check next sem's timetable. At that instant, I felt old...

So many semesters had passed by, now I'm about to register subjects for 3rd year final semester. It's the same procedure every sem but doing this now is so different.

I still remember years ago... I was sitting at the bottom of the stairs at home reading mmu's prospectus, particularly at the subject named -- mobile & satellite communication, under tele major. I was thinking... hmm... it could be interesting to learn that, even the title sounds cool... and lo! here I am now, delta already! and never would I thought a simple subject named "Electronics" will turn out to be hell~

Too many pictorial memories in my mind now, flashbacks... I'm learning all these years, not only academically but also about life. I've so many dreams that need to be completed, will I be able to make it? Inspirations. I place my fingers onto the keys & does it lead to my future? The first step is made, I shall explore musical wonders & rekindle this faraway dream. Time is short, I have lost myself in this world & here I shall stay, to spread these inspirations.

Libraries of memories

It was evening that day, when I sat on the wooden bench near the lakeside of Alamanda. Gushing waters from the lawn noozles formed a perfect projection before dissolving into tiny specks of water floating in the air and settling onto the carpet grass, the rock and onto me.

The weather was mild and windy, the laughters of children can be heard from a playground just behind of where I sat. Looking up to the sky, I saw dark clouds looming at the south of where I am. I turned and gazed at what lies ahead of me. I look through to the end of the sky and it was a greyish-blue tapestry tainted with faded orange smudges to the west of it. The breeze has made the leaves rustle. Shatters of evening sunlight came through the cracks of the leaves and befell onto a serene mind that was running through the libraries of memories.

It was indulgence in dreams of the past followed by lost memories. Unspoken feelings swarmed over me. Somehow, it connects to my deepest soul and even the furthest remembrance of my distant childhood memories had surfaced. The evening sun, the leaves, the breeze and nature itself left me roaming in the discovery of those that has been long hidden.

FEE Prospectus

In a land far far away, there's a university called M.M.U. (Mandatory Make-over University). And in this university there are 2 major faculties, namely FEE (Faculty of Entertainment & Enjoyment) and FCM (Faculty of Chestnut Machans).

FEE is headed by the ever highly reputed macha of all time -- Dr. 45. As the dean, Dr. 45 is not allowed to take any subjects in FEE such as BBQ1010. (Please note that Dr. 45 can only speak in English, speaking in other languages might cause irreparable noise figure, F) ASS dean is the notorious non-smiling Ms. Printer. (Hint: She smiles when Dean of FCM appears though). To help Dr. 45 with all the @$^ jobs, a secretary will be present and she is currently known as Ms. Shake-my-tail-feather.

Pre-course registration is now online and students can enrol at their own risk. Steps to enrol are as follows:

Over The Hills

Over the undulated meadows,
dandelions dancing,
grasses weaving in,
blades swinging out,
tis is a sunlight valley.

Young traveler,
who came from afar,
stopped over the hills,
hands clasped over heart,
whispers are to be heard.

Unclouded skies above,
soft hearth underneath,
traveler's hand opened,
restless voices ceased,
chosen destiny has set in.

Music within traveler's heart,
streamed freely across,
for traveler is sure,
life has its course,
over the hills.
