       Sacrifice comes in many shapes.

Eidul Adha or the celebration of the day of sacrifice. What do you sacrifice yourself?

I believe there's something in us we should always sacrifice. As when I studied Economics at IIUM, to gain something, you have to forgo something. That's the rule. I believe that applies well in our lives too.

As SPM examination is coming in a couple of months, what a student should sacrifice? What about sacrificing 5 hours a day for your revision?

As a person, living our daily lives, what do we sacrifice to get something we badly want? For me, I'd rather put on hold buying that shiny Mac (sigh!😪) just because I long the warm feeling of the Maldives sand.😍. Well, I call that sacrifice.

These are just some instances. What about you? What are you willing to sacrifice to get something you really want? Or should the question be, are you willing to sacrifice, if at all, in the first place? Forgetting all the comfort for the sake of something you have been longing for?

The answer is yours! 

 Eid mubarak everyone!😍

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

At Pantai Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Merdeka! What about it? What about independence are you talking about?

For me, it's getting myself out of the old paradigm. I mean, I'm going for a paradigm shift. After all, people say life begins at 40. Well, I'm not yet at that age, though it's bot far away. 😉.

So, I guess I should prepare myself to begin an amazing, interesting and enjoyable life at the pinnacle, huh?

At least I thought so.

Whatever interpretation of independence or Merdeka to you, go for it, let go of those negativities surrounding you all these while.

Happy 60th Merdeka peeps!
