Good things come to those who wait

How true is it?Is it what I really want or is it what I think I want?God,show me a sign.I'll take it even if its a glimmer of hope.Or should I look for something else to do before aplying for it again.I mean how hard can it be?Really.All I need is an interview.And i'll move on from there.Opportunity.Chances.Know what?I lack luck.That is what I need.Talk about effort.I gave my all.Any opportunity that could lead me to my eventual goal,I took it.Desire?Passion?Determination?What else?Perserverance?Been there,done that.WHAT ELSE?

Lifeguard in the making.............

Yeah right.There I was engrossed in our own mini (hold your breath) competition with the guys at Sentosa Beach,not very far away,We saw a man gasping for air.Initially,We thought it was a prank.Upon realizing it wasn't,my instinct saw me swimming towards the victim.Honestly,I didn't know what I was up against as there can be many possible scenarios.One of the most hilarious scenario is,I'll be gasping for air as well upon reaching the victim and eventually its like double trouble...haha."bagaikan tikus membaiki labu".Honestly,I didn't do much as the lifeguard came soon after.How heroic.haha.Mind you,hes a swimmer,a strong 1 in fact.Coz prior to the incident,he did laps.haha.You know what was amazingly hilarious about the whole ordeal?We were crapping about me mimicking a lifeguard,saving people,Baywatch and stuff like that..haha.I guess the moral of the story is,never impersonate a lifeguard when you are at the beach,swimming pool,etc,it might just come true..........

Demolition of Bolton...........

4 nil?Are you sure or not?........I bet that's the initial reaction to a scintillating display from Liverpool this morning against Bolton.

Liverpool 4-Bolton 0
And its not a fluke.I can vouch for that.haha......Its been quite some time since goals start pouring in.They were awesome.Now their next hurdle is the Champions League.Its do or die.They have to win to qualify.Torres was unstoppable.Babel(who nonchalantly likened himself to Thiery Henry) is improving.Gerrard who is ever so inspiring and commanding.Liverpool for now, is no longer a one man team as compared to a few months ago.and yes,a few months.I guess its to early to judge so better not.The rock solid Carragher,the crafty Kewell.It feels so good watching them play.The fact that Man United lost to Bolton was just icing on the cake.Kudos to Liverpool.Last but certainly not least,to all the liverpool fans out there,lets enjoy this moment and hopefully we can somehow clinch the title this year........They'll Never Walk Alone.........

Realizing Your Full Potential

Its frustating to know that you can do more than what you are doing at this point of time.Knowing your abilitites,your potential.That thought never fails to haunt me every single day.Have you ever been in a position where you feel that you can do better than that certain somebody?What separates the possibility is the post held?For example,I believe at times a dedicated sergeant can do the job better than a commissioned officer.What separates that possibility is, the rank.I guess thats how it will always be...All I need is an opportunity.Thats all I need..........

Driving License

Sweetie was the one who instigated that I should take my driving license...And after laying out the pros and cons(money issue),I finally enrolled like a mth ago.I passed my basic theory test and yes that may seem trivial but its a start.Hopefully I'll get my license sometime around September.That's the original plan but as you know more often than not, it doesn't go as plan.Maybe earlier,maybe way later(crossing my fingers).I guess its of paramount importance to have car licence contrary to what I believed.I mean there is no need for you to own a car right?I want to be able to afford a car comfortably when I'm 28.Cool.haha......Speaking of driving licence.I still remember how my recruits used to come to my office(usually when I'm busy) requesting for post as drivers.I mean who wouldn't want a free license right?haha.farnie

Honestly,there's nothing much I can do really, contrary to what they believe.Well,to each his own.Ultimately it boils down to what you believe in,what you want to achieve during your 2 years stint in National Service.I didn't want a driving license then.What I wanted was, the values and principles which I can bring with me in future.And I'm proud I chose that path.In retrospect,I would not have done it differently.

Passion above needs,vice-versa

Hmm.Which one?Find a job that earns you big bucks OR a job that that you love doing,the passion that drives you to go to work everyday but does not pay as much?Can passion lay food on the table?Which 1 takes precedence?For me,these are what i would consider everday thoughts.Decisions which can affect you in one way or another.Decisions that can seperate you from who you are at this point of time and who you'll be in future.

I'm 23,believe it

Reality check.Yes,I'm 23.And im still not sure as to what I really want to do.I mean,I do know what I want but getting there is just time consuming.Its not as if I'm not making an effort.
WDC stands for:
  1. W-willingness to learn
  2. D-desire to learn
  3. C-commitment to action

I live by these principles and I do have all these attributes and I believe its a formula to success.I mean We(sweetie and me),we have established that I am a late bloomer and most importantly,I did realize the importance of education a bit too late but surely I deserve the thumbs up for the effort right?Lets see why a late bloomer?

I took 3.5 years in Poly instead of the norm 3 years.I took 1 year to be an officer in the army instead of the norm 9 mths(seriously,this ain't my fault).And so the assumptions are justifiable.

And sometimes I wonder whether signing on would be the easy way out(subjective to individuals) coz wherever I go I never fail to get comments like(kenape tak sign on,officer pe)But that is not what I want to.I mean I enjoyed what i did back then but its not something I want to do in the long run.And you need to have passion above ever thing else.hmm...What should I do?

Anfield

I guess my blog title says it all...haha.Yes ah,they won 4-1 against Porto FC.I didn't watch it though.Couldn't wake up.Sweetie assumes soccer takes precedence.No kan baby.I know that spate of events that happened proved otherwise but deep down you know its not true.This was what happened:

(I cannot really remember the exact date)

It was spontaneous.We didn't have any plans for that day.Sweetie called to ask me whether we would like to meet and so we did.I went to her house and that's when all the drama started.My cellphone rang.Soccer fanatics listen up-Soccer at Fico Sports Hub-I have not been playing soccer since God knows when,Its not so much about playing soccer.Its about the guys you play with.I have not seen them for the longest time.I know I was wrong baby to cancel on our date.Swear.In my defence,I dah lama tak main bola dengan dorang.There are changes in life that you'll find it hard to accept.Baby,your bf is a Liverpool addict.I'll still ramble on about Liverpool even when I'm 60,70,etc.I know that nothing can change the fact that I'm wrong and I accept that.Things change, even my feelings for you,It became stronger over the years.Swear.(Exercise selective reading for the one in blue)I,Sazali Bin Sulaiman, am truly,deeply sorry.

My first ever posting

Haha.......cannot believe I'm blogging.Thanks to my ever so influential,irritating(in the most affectionate way of course) significant other who never fails to change my perception in one way or another.Why the sudden urge to start my own blog?

1)I always believe that people judge you from the way you speak.Correct me if I'm wrong but to certain extent,blogging can definitely improve my English.I think.haha.

2)My blog can be an outlet for me to express my thoughts and expectations and hopefully,they'll come true.

3)last but not least,it helps me to convey my message across especially u know,if I need to apologize and my ego gets the better of me,I can do it through the blog.Right baby?

(ps.Baby,please do correct me if the words I used are in the wrong context.k)
