Reflecting on How Time Flies: A Journey Through the Last 2 Years

Have you ever paused to realize how swiftly time can slip through our fingers? It feels like just yesterday when we were stepping into the unknowns of 2022, yet here we are, already midway through 2024. The passage of time has a peculiar way of both astounding and sneaking up on us, leaving us to marvel at how much can change in just a blink.

### Time's Fleeting Nature

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to lose track of time. The routines we follow, the goals we chase, and the challenges we face all contribute to this sense of time slipping away. Two years ago, the world seemed a different place—perhaps less uncertain, more familiar. But with each passing day, as events unfolded, time propelled us forward, often faster than we anticipated.

### Personal Growth and Reflection

Reflecting on the last two years, one cannot ignore the personal growth that accompanies the passage of time. Each day brings new experiences, lessons learned, and opportunities for self-improvement. Whether it's advancing in our careers, deepening relationships, or overcoming personal obstacles, these moments shape us into who we are today.

### Global Changes and Collective Resilience

On a global scale, the last two years have been a testament to humanity's resilience in the face of adversity. From navigating a global pandemic to addressing environmental challenges and societal shifts, our world has undergone profound transformations. These events have not only shaped our present circumstances but have also set the stage for what lies ahead.

### Lessons Learned and Looking Forward

As we reflect on how quickly time has flown, it's essential to glean wisdom from our experiences. The lessons learned—about adaptability, compassion, and the importance of community—serve as guideposts for the future. They remind us to cherish every moment, embrace change, and continue striving towards our aspirations.

### Finding Meaning in the Journey

Ultimately, the fleeting nature of time encourages us to find meaning in the journey itself. It's about appreciating the small victories, learning from setbacks, and savoring the moments of joy and connection. Time may move swiftly, but it is in our power to make each moment count.

### Conclusion: Embracing the Future

As we stand at this juncture, contemplating how swiftly time has passed, let's carry forward the lessons and memories that have shaped us. Let's embrace the future with optimism, knowing that each day presents new opportunities for growth and discovery. Time flies, but it is within our grasp to make the most of every fleeting moment.

In conclusion, as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of life, let's remember to pause, reflect, and appreciate the journey thus far. Time flies, but the impact we leave on our world and those around us endures.

How’s everything? 

That is the first question I would ask to my girlfriend if we have issues and things didn’t go well. It is like an ice-breaking session to start fresh, calm and being rationalise. I probably assume too much that I know how a relationship works but little did I know each relationship is different and unique. Our character defined our individuality. 

It has been a great journey so far since December 2015. This is the real relationship where emotions, efforts, and etc are put into a test. I haven’t been in a relationship for many years since middle school. She was too. I couldn’t agree if we both assume a lot of things about each other. As if we already know the person after 5 years. The truth is... People are evolving and so we are. For example, I know she likes coffee but who knows she dislike today and forever. Things could have changed, right? 

I’m grateful that we stand strong together through ups and downs. There are time when we were so high loving each other and hates each other so much. People says Love is crazy. Indeed. Time, effort and feelings are all work together but.. we learn to compromise. Compromise on many things to make sure we are working towards common goals. 

I know myself is not a romantic type of boyfriend. Probably hopeless but not clueless. She knows I’m that hopeless but I know we are progressing very well. 

Let’s hope for a better day :)

Do you live your life?

Question is... do you live your life?

I have seen a lot of things happened so far. I lost quite a number of family members and good friends. Some of them quite young...

We have heard of this phrase... live life to the fullest but do you really live it? To be honest, i don't really live life to the fullest... yet. But i am grateful for what life has given to me so far.

For some, life is very limited...
For some, life is adequate...
For some, life is miserable...
For some, life is awesome...
For some, they don't even get the chance to taste what life is.

If you have the chance to live your life, live it to the fullest without regrets.

Life only comes once :)

A good performance?

Today our company's performance factor is out and i couldn't  agree more of the outcome.  My first thought.. it will be much lower than last year but it turned out just a slight decimals change.

Company's performance is everyone businesses but what about your own performance? You are on your own. I have been in my lowest performance for the year ending 2013. Who would have thought that when you have performed constantly for the past 4 years and suddenly your performance dropped. BAM! What happened? I've questioned myself too. Then i don't really give a fuck about it after a week my boss told about it.

2014 proved to be one of the challenging  year and guess what my boss gave me for my appraisal? A good performance report. The highest after all these years. So... what happened? I've no idea.

Politics? Hmmm.... maybe? Nevermind. As long as i receive my paycheck and an increase in my salary. That's all what matters. Right?

God, thank you for this beautiful life and I'm grateful. 

P/s: even if your are rich or you owned things that many people can't  buy or have it... im sorry. Open your eyes. Many people don't  realize the most precious and expensive are our parents, friends and your health that money can't buy. Be grateful!

2015... Hey!

Last week I read an article by Mark Manson – The subtle art of not giving a fuck. Damn hilarious. I was reading it when I was in the middle of waiting for my tasks to complete. I was smiling like crazily in front of my screen hoping that my supervisor who is sitting next to me didn’t notice my look. I laughed. Then I forwarded to my awesome friends who I know will read and laugh at it. Two thumbs up!

Then, I look at my surrounding. I should know by now there are many unimportant things that I should not give a fuck. The endless drama. My neighbours’ cats.

Oh wait. I haven’t say happy new year!. HELLO 2015! :)

Damn. Why does it feel so far away from year 2000? That was a freaking 15 years ago. How life has changed so much in 15 years. Life even can change so much in a day. Trust me.

What’s in for 2015? I’m hoping I can TRAVEL a lot. I like to travel. There is no stopping me despite there were many major incidents regarding airlines especially Malaysia airlines and Air Asia. I love Air Asia and I will fly with Air Asia J I know some of my friends who are still freak out and don’t want to travel with Air Asia. Oh well! Statistically, your changes to get killed in a car accident are higher than plane crash. Burritos! (Where can I get burritos here?)

Let’s hope 2015 will be a better year for us! Remember… Life is full of surprises! Keep calm and smile :) 

Just... life.

Sunday is beautiful. My life has been busy for several weeks. I can see the trend never changing especially towards the end of the year where everyone is busy to close their own tasks and targets, not to forget on top of our duty… endless projects!

I love my job but I feel like to go out from my current job. Maybe I feel like I’m at my comfort zone. I want to see new environment and to experience other options. I also ever thought of quitting the job and buy a one-way ticket and find a job at the place where I landed. HAHAHA! Yes. I can be too dramatic and drastic!

Nevertheless, life is good overall. I’m blessed of what God has given to me. I can’t thank Him enough. I’m grateful. Whenever I feel upset, I like to remind myself... it’s just a bad day, not a bad life. God knows better and He has better plans for everyone.

Now we’re in the middle of November, and I’m already anticipating myself to attend awesome music festival in Jakarta next month. Woho! Can’t wait for it! I even do countdown everyday. Hahahahaha!

Keep calm and enjoy life!

The journey so far...

It has been an awesome journey so far for me all these years. I’m grateful and blessed. I saw a video on YouTube the other day which made me realized that it is gratefulness that makes someone to be happy, not the other way round. You’re happy coz you’re grateful for something happened as expected or unexpected.

For this year alone, I have made some major history for myself…

-       * Completed my first 21km in 2hours 25mins (SCB half Marathon)

-       * Completed my 2 years degree in IT

-       * Got promoted at my work

-       *Went to many islands (bali, phi phi, maya bay and etc). I’m an island lover.

-     *Help my parent to renovate the house. It has always been their dream to extend the house since I started working.

-     *Completed my 10km run at 174^th out of 550 participants (last year was at 190^th).

I know I may have miss some but I’m grateful to God and I put my faith to Him, as He knows what’s for me.

If I’m sad or negativity starts to get into me, I count my blessings to remind me that my life is not so bad compare to others.

Sometimes the best advices that you give to others are the one that you should listen and do it.

....life.

Never thought that we are now in July. Almost end of the month. I still have many pending works and assignments.

Exams are coming soon. Final year project still pending a lot of things need to do and I am here lying on a sofa thinking if I can make it in time to submit the work. Pff!

The short weekend getaway last week was awesome. We went to Manila and had the chance to learn about the old Manila, the Intramuros. It taken me back to the ancient time during the colonial era.

Looking forward for another awesome trip in September. Wait for that moment!

What's on my mind?

There are so many things in my mind right now. If there’s anyone who is going to write biography about me, it will be in 3 books compare to others. LOL.

We’re now in the 4th week of January and I am always busy every day. Be it at work, uni or at home. Time is running fast for me. Sometimes I lost count of what day it is today or the date. I don’t really have ‘me’ time. Pff! I can’t wait for this ‘busy’ life of me to end especially for my study which will ends in August/September.

I’m listening to Coldplay at the moment. I usually listen to house/R&B/pop but I don’t have specific preferences. Thus, I can listen to whatever music that’s smooth to hear and can ease my mind.

For now, life has been good. Thank you, God. I’m VERY grateful. I’m grateful and appreciate for all the things I have right now, be it in good or bad time. Though…. Some of us take it for…. granted.

I try to limit myself from spending too much time on social networks. I know I keep telling myself over the years, yet nothing improve. Oh well~ We like to plan everything in our life but don’t plan too serious or it will hit you in the face (expectations kill!).

I need to be ready with my 21km training. It will be my first attempt for this year. Good luck to me!

Woot woot?

Ok. Ignore the title. I don't have anyg particular topic to share at this time of writing. I will write anything that goes in my mind. Lol.

Selamat adau gayoh to all Dusun community anywhere in the world.

Happy b'lated b'day to my father too. I seldom talk to him. May god bless you with many happiness and good health. Long live!

The mother and the youngest brother will have the same birthday this coming 18. Hooray!

I'm looking forward for this HSBC event on 19th may as i signed up for 11.5km run last 2 weeks ago. I haven't got the time to go for a jog. Sigh. I don't jog to win the prize. I jog to get the feel and to know my best time completing the route. Usually i jog for a total of 6km in a week. That's the minimum. I have 2 weeks before the big event. Goodluck to me without injuring myself!

I realise nowadays drivers on the road are driving freakingly fast especially at highway. Not only small saloon car but as well as trucks, trailers and etc. Even government cars also driving fast. Are't they should set as an example to the public? Drive slow, live longer.

Hmm... i'm thinking to go to thailand this august. To attend an awesome event in asia... party and great music!

What else? Hmm... dono eh.

Bah night! ZZzz....

Yesterday was a bit slow and noting much had happened. I was having my peaceful time watching GG series. My passion on FB never comes to an end. I can spend my whole day on FB alone. Gila oh… Macam-macam ada wah ara FB ani. Game, Quiz, Tagging.. you name it. Banyakkkk. But sometimes it also makes me insecure. FB is not an ordinary social network website which simply just connects you and your friends. It stores all your details permanently in the server. This is where the real danger comes into play. You cannot guarantee all your details are kept safely. Plus… I received an email few months ago which stated that FB is also being use by higher authority in US to track down terrorists, sex maniac and etc. YOUR DETAILS MAY ALSO BEEN USED OR ACCESS BY THEM. Who knows… Ahax. One advice: Never give your details completely or publish it on the internet. Furthermore, the drawback is you can’t delete your account completely. You only have the option to activate/deactivate. Sounds fishy ehhh? Well… It always good to play safe. =)

Anyhow,I was so bored at home last night. Luckily, Chin texted me up to go for lepak-lepak. I’ve been waiting for someone to kidnap me. LOL. Then we went to Suran and met Acai and Fir there. We spent our time together till 1am in the morning. Then, we went to Pjul’s house. And again… nothing much had happened so Fir asked me if I like to watch some movie. I just nodded. We were watching ‘Ayat-Ayat Cinta’. Lawa! Ini macam! (Y). Buttttt… we didn’t watch it till the end coz Chin felt so sleepy and he still has his exam going on. Wohoho. Steady. Mau jua lepak-lepak time exam. Ahaha.

Oh yeah… The graduation will be on 16th. Rehearsal will be on 13th and 14th. Full rehearsal will be on 14th and please wear your robe. =)

To someone… this is for you…. I AM SICK OF YOU!!! YOU ARE TOOOOOO ANNOYING!!! PWASAN BANAR!!! BAIE KO... Aha. SOAB! or should it be DOAB?!! =@ *mental*

Hmmm... random...

I don’t know what to put as the title but yeah.. let it be. This is just another random post of a broken, lonely guy who lives in his own world. Eseh. That is so random. Whatever… let the mind speak… it’s funny to see young teenagers holding hands and hugging so tightly as if they experience their happiest hour together without realised they were watched by many people. It’s very sad to see this and it looks like a trend for them. Maybe I was too overreacted. Aha. Itu ‘cinta monyet’ sihh… Jika monyet bercinta, mereka lebih suka bergayut bersama-sama dan saling tolong menolong untuk mencari kutu di badan pasangan mereka. Tapi tidak semua monyet kekal lama bila bergayut lama-lama… ini mungkin aja salah satu monyet itu telah tidak terdaya untuk sama-sama bergayut atau salah satu daripada mereka telah terjatuh ke bawah kerna dahannya patah. Ya gitu sihhh… But not everyone ended a happy ending… frankly speaking… I was one of them. Ouch!! Whatever~~ Don’t tell me you never been heart broken before. =)

First love is hard to forget, agree? It’s really difficult to forget when you were in love for that ‘long’ period of time. Not a ‘month’ or ‘few months’ of relationship but I 'm referring to ‘a year’ or ‘few years’ of relationship. Me, myself and I have that problem. Hhmm… now I think I can get over it slowly or perhaps wipe off completely from my memory. I just need more time….

Then… I found ‘you’ accidentally or maybe ‘you’ appeared out of nowhere and put a little light in my heart. Hmmm… that will be another story to tell.

Random...

Hello world!

It’s been awhile I don’t post anything here. I was so buzy with my works. The workload keeps coming everyday and the boss is now on leave to Philippine for 1 week. Sigh. Expect loads of work this week. = Hmmmm… boring ehhh… some of the colleagues were already gone to somewhere else coz they got a better offer. I also had given my 1 month notice to the boss last Saturday. I thought he would be surprised to see my letter but after reading it, he said that he also expecting me to go soon since I got so many excuses for not coming to work to attend whatever reasons I told him before. Ahax. I actually like my current job. No dateline. No issues with fellow workers. But yeah… If you got a better offer and a secure job for your future, one would definitely grab the chance. Who doesn’t? hmmm… but…. I’m in dilemma right now. I don’t know which one is the best for me. Huhu. Some parts of me want to continue study but some part of me want to have a stable career. Sigh. Dilemma~ Dilemma~ Dilemma~

Anyhow…. I likeeeeeeeeeeeee my weekends! I met nora and chin last Saturday’s night at Capers. I miss you guys! Eseh. We had our great time together spending the evening with lots of stories and laughed. We mostly talked about careers. It gives everyone a big question mark when we talked about the future. What do you see in yourself will happen in 5 years time? 10 years? Or even 30 years? We don’t know… We only hope for a better future. That’s it. Hope alone is not sufficient. Planning and the will to change is the main part here. Yada yada yada… This is not a motivational talk or whatsoever. I just want to share and write anything that comes in my mind. =) Whatever action we take today will reflect what we will become in the future. =)

Oh wait… FB layout is changing AGAIN! Boringg~~~ Makin payah! Eseh. Nada lah… I like the new layout. Much much easier to navigate between the pages and I can see all the feeds update in real-time. Makin tah kaya ni owner FB ani. Ahahaha… Paksa tah ku buat social website sendiri ni… and as a start… nama website ku atuuu ialah “MUKA KITANI”. Short formnya, MK. Ruggeeeeet! =P

Bah.. chow chin chaw....

Wohoho... randomness... =)

Hello world…. I miss youuuu…

Last night I went to ICC for the ‘Anugerah RTB’ which held for 4 days until tomorrow. Anyhow, I just wanted to see the dance competition but didn’t manage to see it coz we were buzy ‘cuci mata’ and walk around the area. Then we went to the hall… I met nora there… she told me that the dance just ended. Sigh. Then we went to other hall to see the BICT exhibition. I saw norhayati (sp?). Do you guys know her by any chance? I am inspired by this woman. She has many achievements which other women or perhaps men in Brunei can’t beat her. She is the first Bruneian woman to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Her recent trips around Africa, Europe and Asia by car were truly remarkable. I really respect you! =) I actually wanted to take a picture with her but I can’t reach her coz they were so many people asking and interviewing her about her experienced. At least I saw her. =) I also met kel and rai there… We just had a little chit chat.

Then we went to the mall. I hate poklen. I hate emo. I hate punk. =) BUT not all lah… coz some actually have a nice attitude. They just want to express themselves. Show-off? Attention seeker? Maybe. I don’t know. I’ve been there and done that. It is natural for teenagers to ‘show-off’ or be ‘attention seeker’ coz they like to try new things and explore. To look good or worst? I saw this guy with his ‘trojan’ hair (O_o). Oh my…. I don’t know what happened to all this kids nowadays. Back then…. When I was in form 3, I used to have ‘spiky’ hair. Right after the PMB exam ended, I came to school with my extraordinary ‘spiky’ hair and wore t-shirt and jean. All the students stopped and stared at my hair. I was actually proud of it. I walked around the school and didn’t feel guilty of breaking rules. =P Suddenly…. Someone shouted at my back. “Oi! Kn kemana ko tu?” Then I looked at him. He was my deputy principle. Then he yelled at me. “Urg luar kh? Agath balik!!” =| AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Watever~~ I was naughty back then. =P You see… being a teenager is to make some mistakes. From there, you learn and gain experienced. Become wise, mature and be a better person. =)

Okay…. my work so far so good. The co-workers are also very friendly. There’s only 1 thing I don’t like. I always come home at night. =| No more sunlight by the time I reach the parking area. It is because of the traffic jams lahhhhhhhhhhhh….. I hate jams!! There is this one lady who always comes home so lately. She complaining that she always misses the sun. Now she comes home right after the working hour. She might miss the home so much and for her kids. I’ve read this article on today’s newspaper about parents who are neglecting their kids because they are so busy with works and don’t have the time to spend with the kids. How terrible it could be? IT IS REALLY TERRIBLE! The kids need attention. They need love from the parents. DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THEY LACK OF ATTENTION AND LOVE FROM THEIR PARENTS? They become bitter. They become wild. They lack confident and becomes one of the poklen. =| Ooopz… sorry if I crossed some lines there. =)

Anyhow… happy valentine. Don’t need to celebrate it though coz everyday is a lovely day for the couple. Have a nice weekend y’all! =)
