Where Do I

Wanted To Go

codename :  A dream

Do you ever thinking of having a super power that can make you go to a place that you really wanted to go with just a blink? Or perhaps become a billionaire where you can use your never-ending money whenever you wanted to? Well I do. I do wish to have a super power that can help me to fulfill my dreams. Like as for now, I really wish that my 'super power' can take me to Hawaii. You may laugh if you wanted to but this is true. 


While everyone are busy talking about Venice, the city that built up above the water and maybe The Great Wall of China which also one of the Seven Wonders of the World, I prefer Hawaii. The best place where we can witness the beauty of the beaches. As we all know, Hawaii's beaches provide turquoise waves that can give the pleasure to the surfers and it is the most famous place in the world for surfing. Talking about the beach, Molokini is the most popular place because of the clearest water in Hawaii. Therefore, we can enjoy the beauty of the marine life by snorkeling. Well that is not the only beach in the island. In Oahu, the locals considered the Lanikai Beach as the best swimming beach in Hawaii. With tremendous turquoise water, Lanikai Beach deserved the title of "Heavenly Sea". As for Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai, the beach is popular for the largest bay on the island. The breathtaking view also attracts the tourists and the emerald mountain peaks that surrounding the beach makes it a dream comes true. 






However, Hanauma Bay is the most wanted place that I wanted to visit. This mostly circular bay is formed thousands of years ago by the flooding of a volcanic crater. The sparkling water and abundant population of fish life makes me eager to watch it live. What impress me the most is the marine life conservation district that they formed in 1967. I can never imagine the beauty of the marine life and the supports and hard work from the people to conserve the marine life in this island. Anyway, I just wish that I could watch them with my own eyes by snorkeling and scuba diving someday. 






In addition, there are other places that we can visit in the island such as the well known Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, Maui's Haleakala Mountain which also one of the largest mountain in the world, Waimea Canyon on Kauai, and attend an authentic Polynesian Luau or synonymous as the grass skirt. These places will give us the sweetest memory ever. And as for me, I just wish for the beach since its been my dream to witness the most beautiful beach in the world and I hope my dream will come true. 


It is been a while since my last visit to a beach. And I could not even remember when it was. For every day I looked up at the sky, I wondered if it is the same sky that under it is the sea.

A letter

to my guardian


           codename : Letter to parents

Dear mom and dad...

This is your son talking. Well, it has been quite a while since my last wrote to both of you. How are you? I hope both of you is in a good condition and safe. Please let me know if something happen to any of you either good or bad. And I really hope and pray it is not something bad. And I want you to know that I always pray to God to look after you two because I am so far away from home doing something BIG for my future right now and I cannot see both of you every day and every single time when I am needed.

Emm how is everything going over there? Is everything fine? Well, I hope so. And if there is anything that i should know, please let me know. I do not want to be left behind from you and I always wait for an update of you. I still remembered when you told me that our family will be going to Pulau Perhentian for a holiday. Even though all of you went there without me, I still felt happy and excited to know the story about your trip to that island. I am glad that all of you experienced a really good time and enjoyed while you were there. Ohh before I forgot, thanks for the gift that you bought for me. I really like it. :)

Mom,
I still remembered when I was a child, you always woke me up by whispering to my ears, telling me that it is already morning and ask me to wake up or I will be late for school. Without complaining, patiently you prepared my school uniform and my stuff. I was late, you help me by putting on my shoes while I am eating my breakfast. And before go to school, you will kiss both of my cheeks and my forehead. That's give me a feeling mom. A feeling of happiness. Mom, I will never forget all your hardship by waking up every morning before dawn to prepare everything and to make sure they are all complete. I can still remember that mom and that memory will never disappear...

Dad,
Just like mom, the memories that remind me of you still safe inside me. It won't lose. I still remembered when you sent me to school with motorcycle early in the morning. The skies were still dark, and the cold breeze made me shiver. I hug you from back to overcome that coldness. But you laughed when I asked you if you felt any cold. You told me that morning coldness was nothing to you. At that time, I felt really safe and nothing can bother me.


Right now I'm having my second semester in my degree. Well, the progress isn't really bad. So far so good I think, even though sometime I feel suffer because lots of assignments, projects, group discussion and for certain assignment, I had to go out of camp to interview and make some research. It is so troublesome because since I'm in military, I cannot go out of camp so easily. I have to write a letter to officer, asking for his signature and permission to go out and if my request is granted then only I can go out of camp and it is only for a few hours. For only a few hours, I will not be able to do so much things for my assignment. It gives me a hard time sometimes. Any anyway, that is not really a big problem actually, so you do not have to worry. Plus, I am a big boy now. Heh :)

By the way, next week I will be having my first test of the semester. So I've got to hit the books and, wish me good luck :) 
Actually, there are so many things that I want to write about but I think maybe I should include that on my next letter. 
Last but not least, I hope that both of you will take a good care of yourself. My next holiday will be around about next month, so see you soon. Anything, I will let you know. And there is something that  I would like to tell. I love you. Both of you :)

A punk

in a green uniform

codename : Resolution

It's 2011, and I'm still here, in this well known military college. As usual, the schedule is pack, the time table is death eating and the clock is ticking. Ah well, so everyone is still celebrating 2011 and started to make their new resolutions. As for me, I never had one. Truthfully, I think a resolution give me a hard time when I have to fulfill it and when I couldn't, it is going to be a major failure for me. Therefore, this is why I never had a resolution. However, this second entry will change my perception. YES. I am going to make a list of resolutions.

MY big R :
Study HARD not SMART. 
NEVER skip classes anymore.
Be punctual (including wake up early).
Read ENGLISH materials more often.
Cut down a bit of smoking.
STOP messing around
SAVE MONEY.

So those are my resolutions a.k.a my goals for 2011. On a second thought, after scanning the list, I think a resolution is sort of a guide line for us where we can refer to it before make any decision or doing something big in our life. And it leading us to a good afford too. It is like playing kite when we have to hold on to our kite and never let it go. Only let it fly a bit higher. Thats the meaning of resolution for me.  

As a conclusion, I think I have a good feeling by having my first resolution. And of course, I hope it will produce an excellent outcome in the future. Cheers :)

Under the same sky

Above the green grass

codename : the BLOG

The grounds are soaked wet and the skies are dark. It seems like the clouds are hiding the sun away from everyone and the breeze, the breezes are rather cooling. People folding their arms, wearing sort of thick clothes, explaining how cold the weather is. The buildings can hardly been seen. So as the moving vehicles that produce lots of unwanted 'oxygen'. The big city is ranked with people and it is getting busier than before. Although the weather looks like it is going to be a big downpour, the living things are still keep moving. Together. Under the same sky, through the wet green grass.



A girl with a sad looking face keep staring at the unpleasant weather. I know how much she hates rain. But I do not really know why. I guess people have their own stories, their own reasons to go through with their life. Sometimes, it has been planned. People plan their life so that they would not get into any mistakes and flaws. But sometimes, we do not have to plan. We just have to enjoy it and of course, life full with surprises. That’s the main reason why we should take the risk. Just follow our heart and endure the outcome because sometimes, the surprises are way better than what we had planned. People think what had happened to them was all been written. It is their destiny and fate. I absolutely agree. But they should know too, that they are the one who make it real. The one who make the decision. And as for me, something happen for a reason. A good reason. That is why when a bad thing happened, I always tell myself that it happened here, a place where other people are here too. Under the same sky, above the green grass. So I shouldn’t be afraid of getting lost because I know I'm not alone.



Here, 'Under the Same Sky, Above the Green Grass' is a suitable title that I choose for my blog where it emphasize the meaning of life. It does not matter in what way our story is because it happens in the same place. Which is HERE.
