These past two years in Shah Alam have been a roller coaster
ride for me. I’ve learnt a lot of new things, academically and non-academically,
made a lot of new friends, read a huge number of books, studied more
Shakespeare than I’ve ever did before, known more about myself, but most
importantly, getting ready for the most vital upcoming chapter of my life.
It’s the last day of 2013, and I have come to a realisation
that separation is a bittersweet event. Why? Because I may not see all my IPG
Kota Bharu friends for a long time. We’ve Gayarians have been with them for
such a long time, and even though all of us might have made each other mad, or or crazy, or annoyed, one thing that is certain, in the end it’s the
friendship and love among us that matter the most. I’m going to miss them all,
but now, it’s time for me to lunge myself forward.
2014 will be the year where one thing will be imminent: the
prospect of being a teacher. I have a fear of letting down myself and my students,
but I don’t want to be pessimistic. This is a challenge that I must accept with
open heart and mind and soul. I know I can do it, and I will prove it. Like
what I’ve thought before, all things are coming to their rightful places and
the reality starts to kick in. It’s going to be a ride of my lifetime.
But in the superior words of everyone who’s amazing on this
Earth: Challenge Accepted!
