Life

I am blessed to have such a wonderful life. 

Life is not an easy journey, and I don't have a specific destination to begin with. 

I am just following my guts and the fate that has been set for me.

When I was a form 3 student, I had a scrapbook. 

And tones of diaries. 

I always pasted pictures of my dream uni ; oxford uni

 (after all, who do not dream of going there, right?), 

I wrote about my dreams. I was so ambitious, 

how I wish I could be one till now. 

I labelled myself as idealistic, and it was true.

I wanted to be a cardiologist or a gynaecologist so badly,

 but after I got my spm result, things changed.

I realize that biology is not my cup of tea.

 I prefer physics, and so for every scholarship I applied, 

it's all about engineering.

I looked up to my dad the most.

 His turning point in life is something that inspires me to keep going in life till now, 

and as I grow older, 

I realize that we have a similarity; that is to prove our worth.

Being the eldest child is never a piece of cake;

 people always expect a lot from you, 

you just have to reach that expectation 

and expectation is definitely the root of heartache. 

If you do reach the expectation, 

people will still question why can't you be better?

 What more if you don't hmm

My dad works with an oil and gas company, 

and I want to do so too!

 It's fun to see him traveling here and there, 

but God has a different plan for me 

and I received YTN scholarship, 

such a great blessing for me. 

And I'm going to McGill University, Canada, 

will be pursuing my degree in 

Electrical Power (EP) Engineering end of this month.

Look! 

The journey is all different from my initial plan.

 And again, the matter of a believer is strange, 

we will always try to find something good in everything we face. 

I do too.

YTN scholarship is on a par with other giant companies 

like Petronas, Bank Negara, PNB, UEM and ExxonMobil. 

McGill University is the Harvard of Canada, 

it's the best university in Canada and one of the best in the world.

 I will have to do EP and I am guaranteed with job after I graduate.

I am more than thankful. 

I have to say, it's not easy for me to be where I am today. 

With Allah's guidance, my parents' support, 

my grandparents' prayers, 

the hope to inspire my siblings 

and the dreams that might change here and there a bit along the journey 

but with an ultimate life goal that I always have in life 

that is to make my parents' proud of me, I still survive till now. 

I hope these kind of values still remain in me till forever. 

And I hope I can achieve my ultimate life goal, one day.
