Where life has taken me in the past 11 months.

Almost a year ago I was just some college kid who dropped out from college and everything in my life seems like a perfect downfall disaster. 

Fast-forward 11 months later...

Here I am standing here, going places that I have never imagine I would go and reach. Meeting amazing people that changed my life literally. Doing the unthinkable things, ate the weirdest and amazing food. I was literally on road, traveling and backpacking everyday.  

I'm glad things happened the way it was meant to be. For all I know, I am now a freelance writer contributing to Gaya Travel Magazine and not to forget my blog. 

My very first print article is coming out soon at your nearest bookstore. The magazine is called Gaya Travel and I wrote about Terengganu, so you Terengganu peeps look out on that! ;D

And today another huge thing happened to me , I was interviewed on Hello on Two TV2, I couldn't believe that I was on national TV! Life has definitely brought me somewhere and everywhere. 

Would I want anything to change? Nope, lets live life thoroughly. There is something greater planned for you, keep believing. I know I am. 

My failure bought me a ticket around the world!

Shadow of life.

Aku officially college dropout, kena buang sebab failed 1 paper. Instead sending me down the drain, sobbing and howling in despair; it got me around the world. Yeah, a ticket to see the world! Alhamdullilah...am glad that I actually failed because there's a rainbow after the heavy rain. 

Maybe tak ramai yang tak tahu that I fleed the country just before and after the news that I was officially sacked. Some people might say, bazir duit! But I see it as investment to my life, life is too short to worry! I used all my savings I had, every single dime I had was put out for my 1 month of fantastic journey! 

Koh Phi Phi, Island of Emerald water.

Banyak benda that I learned traveling and seeing the world. Things that you'll never get in class. Things that are not in the book. They never teach you life skill, all they do is teach you knowledge. 

Memang hidup ni susah, tu aku pon takkan tipu. Ada masa yang kau akan jatuh teruk, rasa nak bangun tu takkan akan mampu, but believe me, kau sebenarnya dilahirkan mampu untuk tempuhi apapun dugaan Tuhan berikan. Itu yang aku tahu after coming back!

So, kawan2!

The world is waiting for you.

Jangan putus asa. bak kata Josh Gorban "Don't give up, It's just the weight of the world" . Semua benda ni bagi aku adalah ujian untuk uji kau, sama ada kau mampu bertahan atau tidak. 

If He brings you into it, He will certainly bring you through it. Have faith in God, have faith in yourself, have faith in Life. 

Kau dan aku dah sememangnya fated to be tested. Memang kekadang tu teramat lah berat, air mata tu berbaldi2 mengalir, cokelat cadbury habis sepuluh papan kau telan. Aku pernah berada kat tempat kau dan akan sentiasa ada. Percayalah, siapa tahu, Tuhan dah sediakan kau kebahagian in future. 

20 hours train ride without aircond, halal food. Priceless!

Aku tahu this is not the end of my journey. Hidup aku jauh lagi. Doesn't mean ko takda degree, you are screwed. Silap tu...

Harris-san and Taka-san!

Believe me, you'll find something greater in life. The magic that unfolds in front of you as you set yourself free. The world has a lot more to offer than job security, education, money or anything. Go out and see the world, let it capture you in its beauty. You'll be surprised...


p/s: Maybe ada benda yang aku repeat balik dalam post ni, but seriously worth mentioning again and again..
