I love this particular video. So I thought of posting it on my blog. This video is about a motivational speaker who is physically deformed (birth defect kind of thing) but he's not discourage by his physical limitations and instead embarking into this life that eventually inspired him to be a motivational speaker. I think I admire him for what he did. And we could actually learn from him not to get easily demoralized and discouraged for facing a few difficulties in this life. Afterall his challenges are far greater that us. We are much much more fortunate than him.
Hope we all be a more learned and wiser person after watching this video and be more grateful with what God has given us. InshaAllah. :)

God help me!
Today I went for an interview to a certain company. The reception was fine. The girl was apparently the telemarketer who acted as the front desk person. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I like the interviewer. He was friendly. I noticed that he dressed up immaculately. He was very articulate and a good listener. He said my email and my resume caught his attention (well I'm not sure about it myself, but I think my email and resume were so so) thank God he liked it.
The interview went rather long. With him asking me to explain about myself and about my knowledge prior to the company. FYI I am applying for a front desk cum admin assistant. Lol. I know it's not high by some professional standard in term of remuneration and in the corporate social hierarchy. But I still have to be grateful to be called for an interview. He praised me by saying that I have a relatively good command in English. And said that I met the the basic requirement of being a front desk person. Alhamdulillah praise due to Allah. Although I was a little nervous with my heart thumping so fast that I thought it would eventually come out of my chest, and my occasionally faltering voice and a little slur here and there during my talk, I was gradually feeling at ease. I even cracked a little joke and we actually talk. I mean talk though not the way of the old chum, we actually(I think) got the ball rolling in a rather nice way.
He said he'll put me among short-listed candidates and would eventually call me tomorrow to inform me if I were to be chosen for this position. I pray to Allah to give me the best. I mean I am ikhlas (sincere): if this job is not meant for me, everything I did would never avail me to this job, unless it was under His permission. Truly Allah is the Almighty, the All Knowing, and the Compassionate. Ya Allah, please reveal to me the right and best way for me, so that I could venture into this way under Your blessings and protections.. Amien..
Anyway, I have to start planning with what I am going to do with the money and to improve my life. Mainly, I wanted the money to be saved in a bank for the purpose of funding my "A Level"ambition. Yes. I intended to go for an A level course and subsequently go to the local university pursuing degree in economy or anthropology. Hope Allah will show me the way. It is very difficult for me to enter local universities. Hope one day my dream could be achieved. Sigh. For now I could only pray. I'll do my best effort to save some money first. God help me!

Wait and See
Strange.. All the excitement that I felt earlier when I created this blog dissipated easily. The surge of happiness changed into the emptiness. Is this how human commonly behave? After accomplishing something he simply wants more that things that he has attained dissolve into something that seemingly worthless?
I am scared of myself. I am someone that appeared to be timid and wise. But it's all a complete veneer. I don't even get the full grasp of myself. I am understandably a complex being. Every time I settled into something, the gear in my brain would simply move and it would somehow change me and jeopardize everything. This blog is one of many instances of my complete instability.
Anyhow, I have to carry on. Lets see where it will bring me. It is too early to end everything.

Sighhh...Finally...
Hoooray!!! Finally after such a long and winding road I managed to create my own blog. This is my very first blog an as I am not such a social butterfly I have to be realistic and say that it's highly unlikely that I'll get any viewers on my site...Sigh.. A little disappointed yet excited at the same time..
Well, i have to say it is not so hard in creating my own blog. I simply followed the instruction through the blogger. Fwuiuh... Now I want to try to get started.
My blog mainly serve as an avenue for me to pour out my feelings and thoughts from diverse wide ranging aspects. Be it from economy, politic, or even religious, or even something personal about my daily life.
I just hope all will go well. :)
