I have to change my mindset. I cannot continue to be bogged down by the problem in front of me. The past few days had been dreadful with tantrums and emotions. I must not be affected by this change of things. I must not be defeated by this obstacle. Counter the negativity in me. Pray with stronger determination to achieve my goals. Nothing is impossible.
If I let myself defeated by this, I am a failure. I must not let this happen.
"It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life. " Daisaku Ikeda
"To the weak, difficulty is a closed door. To the strong, however, it is a door waiting to be opened."
Shoulder On and Persevere !

Utter Devastation
After months of efforts and hard work hoping that things will turn out to be fine where I can pursue what I believe in, it all had come to naught. It was all destroyed by a single fucking letter due to a fucking decision by a person who is a brainless piece of shit who happens to be the Director General.
I cannot believe that I will not be granted a release and all that has been put in place by getting a place in the Uni has all been in vain.
What can I do now? Will I be stuck here for another 2 years in the place that I cannot realise my own potential?
My whole has suddenly become gloomy. The hope that I maintained all this while has been crushed. Do I give up? How can I pick myself up?
P/S: Sorry for the vulgarities used.

A Great Man's Clash with the Authorities
It is very disturbing to see RPK being taken to jail(for refusing bail) for sedition. I have been a fan of Malaysia Today as I find that the articles that he writes gives a a new dimension to the political news that are reported in the mainstream media. It may not be true all the time but the way he analyzes our politics in Malaysia is so real, humorous, sarcastic and vulgar at the same time.
What I admire him the most is the courage to speak out for justice and truth not fearing the people in the corridors of powers. I can feel that he speaks for the people and understands the pulse of the people unlike the ruling government.
All throughout history, great people who stands up for justice and truth were taken to jail one time or another in their life. Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Daisaku Ikeda and the list goes on had all clashed with the authorities while fighting for the people. These are people who will be remembered for eternity.
May justice prevail !
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Daisaku Ikeda's Poem
A poem from my mentor Daisaku Ikeda, Soka Gakkai International President
There is something larger than the vast sky
There is something larger than the vast sky
That is my life
There is something deeper than the ocean
That is your life
When winter comes, Spring (peace) is not far away
Now is the very time to sing in a loud voice the song of peace
The deeper the night, the nearer the dawn
This is because human life exists in order to become happy
There is something more precious than the universe
That is the lives of everyone
That is the lives of everyone
When the life of a single person is really treasured
Spring(peace)cannot be far away
When winter comes, Spring (peace) is not far away
Now is the very time to sing in a loud voice the song of peace
This is because happiness already exists there

In a dilemma
I have been thinking and pondering for some time. What should I do? What is the direction am I heading to? It scares me to think of what lies ahead. Is it because I am not strong and determined enough? I have to strengthen my faith no matter what.
Where does my mission lies? This is the question that I ought to find out and discover myself. I would be lost if I could not realize and get the answer to this question.
Nobody can help me except myself. This is my life and I am to take full responsibility of it. I have to find the answers in my heart.
