The Story about Failing

-


“To live would be an awfully great adventure”

.


Since I was 8, I’ve always thought that one day, I’d become a doctor. I’d study in a local university and graduate to work at a local government hospital. All my dreams were shattered when I went to high school and started studying Science. It was so hard that I actually got B for both Biology and Physics during my SPM. Being the first born, people around me expects the best from me. Getting B grade for SPM was a big no-no. And I got 2 Bs. Hence my first ‘failure’. 😭

.

Somehow along the way, I was sucked into the world of language. The English language to be precise. And I loved it. It was difficult, but at least I was doing something I was  passionate about.

.

Time passed by and during my A2 exams, I actually got a bad result and decided to repeat one of the papers. Devastatingly, the results for my repeat paper was even worst. So, my second ‘failure’. 😭 Then, I went through the A-Levels exam, and while my results weren’t the best, it was still my ‘rezeki’ to fly overseas. I chose New Zealand and it was one of the best choices I had ever made.

.

New Zealand was amazing. I met new people and gained new friends. I can honestly say that we go there for the experience, the adventure and the society. For multicultural countries like NZ, you’ll learn about the various cultures within the country and see their lifestyles; how they adapt, coexisting among people from various cultures, societies background, religions and etc.

.

However, alongside my ‘happy days’, just like any normal university student, I did fail some papers and it had to be repeated. That’s my third ‘failure’.

.

After each failure, I cried, and cried, and cried. Life felt horrible and I was miserable. It was like, I fell into a deep hole with no way of escaping. But, after going through all that, I survived. Time changes you. Your perspective, your attitude. The failures you face makes you who you are today.

.

The main point here is, YOU’LL BE OKAY. Failures are frustrating and devastating, but you CAN get through it.

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond it can bear...” ~ [Quran 2:286]

You’ve got this. Trust me.

Assalamualaikum... :) Have you ever heard of the song Kotak Hati by Hujan? I do! The song was introduced to me by someone by incident, and the crisis that happened before the incident was not cool.. So, continuing... Ever heard of Google Translate? Of course you have(if you never heard of it, you must had been living in a cave without internet before this -_-..).

Assalamualaikum.. Recently, a video went viral in Malaysia, where a women carrying her small child was seen 'lashing out' to her husband in the middle of a mall when she discovered that her husband had been cheating on her with another women. The video showed that the women was scolding her husband who was with his girlfriend in front of everyone (including the child she was carrying), and the video ended with the wife slapping her husband. Here's the videos; Soooo.. Let's talk about one particular comment on this video, which is; "buat lah kat suami awak mcm tu .. nak bagitahu je syurga bawah kaki suami .. mcm mana pon dia tetap suami awak .. pangkat dia adalah paling tinggi selepas Allah dan Rasul bagi seorang isteri  .. dia SUAMI .. sbb tu dlm Alquran disebut isteri kena PATUH..", (Someone on Twitter, 2018) This person did reply to several of the comments on this particular tweet, so we can see his stand on this issue. Okay. This is what

Assalamualaikum. Poof. Poof. PPOOOFF. *blowing dust away* Being in a foreign country as a Malaysian student, I've discovered that life isn't as black and white as it was in Malaysia. So, let's cut the chase, shall we... 1. Being barefoot outdoors.   Image:  flickrhivemind.net Yeah, they're literally barefoot while going all around the place. Whether it's cold or hot, windy or not, they don't care. The Kiwis are nature lovers and by being barefoot, it actually makes them feel closer to nature. Not sure about them stepping in sharp things, like glasses, though. Maybe they're already used to it? I don't know. 2. Being too polite. Image :  www.cartoonstock.com There's no such thing of simply saying 'NO' to people in New Zealand. Kiwis are very polite, so instead of directly saying no, disagreeing with someone, or even giving bad news, you have to actually beat around the bush; talk about other topics before slowly integrati
