[TEDxKL 2010]

I've been a staunch follower of TED since 2008 (through iTunes' podcasts, of course). It's amazing when you watch amazing speeches by amazing people that change the world in many amazing ways. Seriously, I like the speeches so, so much. It's inspiring and makes me feel everything in this world is attainable, if we put our heart and soul into it.

and now, for the 2nd time, TED is coming to Malaysia.

TEDxKL - will spark a mark in Malaysia on the 27th of March 2010, Saturday in Microsoft Auditorium, Level 29, Tower 2, Petronas Twin Towers. And praise to Allah, I was among the selected 20 to be the Youth Ambassadors of TEDxKL and be part of the organizing committee. Alhamdulillah. God works in a very mysterious ways. Now, I'm all prepared to meet new amazing people and experience TED at the same time.

For those who are interested to join, please head over to http://www.tedxkl.com/.

Hurry up as the seats are limited!

[Dreamer]

I am a full-time dreamer.

I have plenty of dreams and been chasing, capturing them one by one.

It makes me feel alive.

but,

I have to be a realist.

The only dream that I am going to achingly surrender is you.

because it makes me feel so weak & vulnerable.

[PainfulSaturday]

Saturday.

Rise early today. Am all prepared to visit project's site.

Visiting people that need my love, attention, help & care. I'm glad that I can help.

but,

I'm still sad. There's a sharp pain in my heart since I decided to forget her.

This is just a phase.

just a phase.

Tepat pukul 12 am. Saturday.

Tiba-tiba rasa sedih.

Geez. Fuck the sadness away, dude.

[Haven't]

I just haven't met you yet.

Ohh, promise you, kid, to give so much than I get.

I just haven't met you yet.

To: You

Adoring you makes me;

(a) feel stupid

(b) feel guilty

(c) feel vulnerable

(d) feel hopeless

... none of the above is positive. None.

You didn't notice me after all. I survived for so long before this.

I am perfectly alone. I'll be OK.

:)

I'll not wait. I'll move on.

[Mahathirism]

17 IPTA/IPTS.

100 candidates will be interviewed.

50 brightest students will be selected

...and stand a chance to meet Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad for a 5-day event at Hotel Awana, Genting Highlands.

I'll be interviewed Jabatan Hal Ehwal Khas (JASA) in two days. Yes, the interview will be on Saturday, 3 p.m. I know how much important and valuable this opportunity is, but I can't restrain myself from feeling inferior now. I.am.not.confident. Simple words, I don't think that I'm going to get a spot among the 50.

I know this is a long shot, but I'll do my best. Azalia said, "If God brings you to it, He will brings you through it".

p/s: Dear God, I'll be fasting for 3 days if you give me a chance to be one of the selected 50. Just so you know, I don't mind of being the 50th person to be selected. Pleasssse.
