its 31st december. the date that means a lot to many people. for me, its not a day like any normal. i believe that this day should be a mark, a point where you take a time and think on what has happened for the past 364 days of your life. in my case, its 365 x 23 (thats the number of years i have gone thru).

the past 364 days have gone great for me. i'm in the pace moving upwards. going up high, getting near and nearer to my goal. yes i h ave to admit there were some shits here and there, but i still believe that the success still overshine them all.

this year has been a good one for me. 2 things that i believe important, happened to me throughout this year were:

1) worked hard for my SIFE team. Directed projects here and there, and assisted in others. running up and down the student affairs office, fighing over budget approval with the Deputy Vice Chancellor, a trip to sabah, handling 5 interns from USA, to have a person that used to hate me to the max takes me as one of her close friend, foster parents program in Alor Setar, Kedah, and all the moments i went through, working for the best of the organization...the outcome? we were crowned as national champions...AGAIN! its a 3 years in the row achievement. it the trophy is a challenge trophy, she would be sitting in UiTM Vice-Chancellor's office for the rest of her life.

2) the trip to USA. to be selected in the list of 21 students to represent the country in a Bussiness Internship Initiative is such a big thing for me. though at first i decided not to apply, but i did it at last. plus, to be selected as contingent leader is such an honour for me.spent 3 months with wonderful people, sharing the good and the bad, will be a thing that i always remember.

but all these doesn't come easy. i had to choose between two priorities. either to forget all above (especially item no.2) to make sure i graduate on time or to extend my studies. yes i will be graduating a bit late compared to my classmates but the experience i gain, priceless. and i think i had made the right decision. to go for my dreams.

the way i spent today? spent the whole day with 30 koreans undergoing a volunteer program in malaysia. they were based in uitm as the university has had this kind of partnership program for the past 3 years with them. it was intersting when you got 3 cute korean girls to interview you about yourself. it was even better when i got to teach a class of 15 singing Siti Nurhaliza song 'Bukan Cinta Biasa'. the intersting part of it, they REALLY loves the song. and i mean it. they are the one who requested to learn the song, not the professor. and to look at their enthusiast faces, i know, i'm not making fool of myself. i've done a good thing.

tonight? tonight will be even better. i'll be celebrating the new year 2006 with them too. i guess i am, without realizing it, starting to like these people. they were very nice people. its not that i have never meet any koreans or handle any foreign students. its just i just think these people were different. they are here with mission to do good deeds. to help people. to create a smile in the face of those that rarely have chance to do so. i feel like them and me, share one thing in common. sacrifice self for the betterment of the others. nah, i don't know. i'm just curious. but i don't care. i like this feeling. thats why i decide to be with them. i want to know, is this feeling right? let the time tell.

guess i don't have much time. i need to take a bow to go. to all, happy new year. may the coming year be a good one. don't forget to work hard in your chase of your dreams. good luck!
