Quite busy thispast few weeks. All the open houses made me SICK!!! Really, all the foods, rendang, nasi himpuit, lontong, sate, lemang, etc… I’m putting on weight.
A few friends came for a visit. Thanks guys!!! I feel very close to my x-schoolmate lately. Thanks to Facebook, YM, Friendster… Technologies really cherish my friendship.
In this beautiful age, I still want to be closed with my friends esp my schoolmates. For me, each age has its own beautiful moment.
When I was in school, I was not in ‘A student’ category. B pun bukan!!! Being in boarding school, science school some more memang betul2 buatkan aku rasa terkebelakang. I’m not a science person! Ada makhluk Tuhan yang ketawa bagai nak rak bila tahu yang I love to write. Kononnya, itu perkara ‘BODOH’.
Percaya atau tidak, I has been humiliated by someone who used to be closed with me when I was in school. With 1 sentence, dah cukup untuk buat aku rasa… it’s really HURT and no words to describe how hurt I was. “AKU TAK MAHU ORANG KATA AKU BERCINTA DENGAN BUDAK BODOH”.
It’s not easy to go through all the tough moments. Dek kerana tertekan, my study really dropped.
Dalam masa aku tergapai-gapai, I was so lucky sebab ada insan-insan yang tetap menyokong aku. Friends who always be by my side, TQ. My honour to Cikgu Jaafar Kassim. He was the one who TRUST me + my capability. Dialah yang selalu bagi semangat pada aku to improve my life.
SPM was not an everything for me. But it was something that made me strong enough to make my own decision. Aku yakinkan ayah, aku mahu jalan yang berbeza.
I’m correct. SPM is not an everything. Dengan SPM aku yang cukup2 makan for 1st grade, aku masih mampu bernafas dan mempertaruhkan kehidupan hingga ke hari ini.
Why I said so? I met my friends during raya and it’s really make me bersyukur pada Tuhan kerana menduga aku lebih awal.
The friends that I met were among the best students in school. They went to UK right after SPM, sponsored by a corporate companies. They no need to went through the part-time jobs, rasa takut menunggu SPM result, kena bebel with parents, etc.
What are they doing now? 1 of them came back from UK half way of an engineering course @ Cambridge. Another one, hampir2 nanau (too stress – gila – it’s the correct words? I believe you guys know what I mean) after spending 5 years + of study in medicine.
What are they doing now? They are struggling in their life with SPM + A-Level cert.
May be aku yang terawal among my friends. I was among the earliest who completed my degree, the earliest yang mula bekerja and among the earliest who tied a knot.
Menyesal? NEVER!!!
Mungkin pengalaman silam banyak mengajar aku untuk jadi lebih berani. Berani membuat keputusan, berani tanggung risiko.
When most of my friends just started their working life, I was not only stable in my position but also confidence with my decision. And masa kawan-kawan aku yang lain still busy dating with their b/f or g/f, I started my own business.
Hari demi hari, aku makin berani. Demi keluarga, demi anak-anak. Aku mahukan yang terbaik untuk mereka. Kerana RM? Yes! A lot of money needed to educate the kids. Tapi yang utama, aku lebih mencari kepuasan which in the same time, berbakti kepada masyarakat.
Itu bezanya ELEEN dengan yang lain. 1 of my buddies told me, “GOOD IN STUDY DOESN’T MEAN GOOD IN LIFE. We have seen a lot of examples, Kak Eleen.”…
Thanks for the spirit, Fhata!!!

Thanks for reading Haida... I love to share my expression with people. That's y i choose to write doesnt matter how busy i am...
Akak believe yg we have to make the right decision in our life, betul tak? I never regret digelar itu ini masa sekolah dulu and now I know, I have done something for them to respect me!!!
the last sentence of Kak Fhata
owh so TRUE!
Eleen, good inspirational entry u hv ever wrote! Mcm gitu ler hidup masing2 kan, cuma kita tak sedar hikmah yang akan kita perolehi masa depan :)
Anyway, siapalah agaknya yang dimaksudkan dalam ur statement -"..makhluk Tuhan yang ketawa bagai nak rak bila tahu yang I love to write. Kononnya, itu perkara ‘BODOH’.."...huhuhu
Good Luck to you.
