Brooklyn and the story behind...

2010-02-16T04:58:00.000-08:00

One of the valid evidence of the phrase "Impossible is nothing" is shown by the tall standing and famous Brooklyn bridge.

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.

"We told them so."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.

It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.

He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.

Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and persistence.

This story has given myself a great lesson. Adversity should not be a reason on why we can't fulfill our dreams and ambitions, and also the related obligations.. As long we want to do it, and we have a full heart to do it, for sure the dream can be seized! Carpe Diem!! XD

Back again..

Silent doesn't neccessarily mean golden..

Hari ini dalam sejarah!

A week ago is the most silent and bored holiday i ever had.. It's just happen due to the command of the Health department to close the campus for 1 week in order to curb down the spread of the influenza like ilness.. Iniatialy, i was planned to go back, but since the fear of the virus due to my low immunity, and the exorbitant airplane tickets the intention is cancelled.. Better! Save more bucks and also better for my health... But being a week in UTP without any access to outside world (beside the phone and the internet connection) the boredom really made us mad... It's made me think agaian about my decision.. few time i ask, am i regret? But it isn't so bad! After the killing jail period is over, me and my buddies went out to Ipoh for an outing.Blowing out the boreness really make a relief and giving me a such of motivation.

It is on Thursday or weekday! What a very nice time, people are very few, so the place is isn'tcrowded... There is only a short que for tickets and we din't need to rush-over just to catch the new higlited movie! G.I Joe...

While waiting... Utilizing my skinny long hand to take a shot... Jason, where and what are you looking at??

Beside of cinema, this is also a right and a nice time for shopping! I was looking around in a DVD shop when suddenly i found a DVD of my anime characters are team up to solve the mystery and fight the vicious crime! Lupin The 3rd and Detective Conan!

Lupin Vs. Conan The Movie!

Hmm... ok it's time to watch G.I Joe... What a fantastic storyline and C.G.I technology that being used! This fantastic story has drop down my personal ranking movie of the year at this time, Tranformer should become number 2 now! To further criticize: Pro's: Creative and nice story line, Hi-tech and nice CGI, and lastly full of action! Con's: Why using my name (Rex>>Count) for the main antagonist character! *Sigh*

Owh, beside that, i did went to the MPH in order to hunt for a new mag! But suprisingly, i found this book....

Ha..ha.. ancaman a.k.a Threat?More.... ump, i have no comment...

Ok, relek lah.... don't need to bother about it. This is Malaysia.. So I just pick up a copy of my favourite magazine

But the urgent, or the main intention in this outing is to have a nice food after the whole week we are force feeding ourself with the unutritious campus' foods or instant noodles.. So, i suggest the next destination is Bercham! The Ipoh's foods heaven! Without knowing particularly the nice eateries over there, we just take a random stop in one of the reastaurant..... The result is awesome! Smile.. while enduring the eating lust!

Believe it or not? It is for RM35!!!

Nice Aroma!

Tada!!!!! Reaped out!

Ooopssss... it seems i forgot something... i bought a powerful thirts quenching fluid!

TUBORG!!!!

Ending the trip, we decided to shout and sing, a therapy relief for those who are depress...

My roomie and his lover.. Duet!

Romeo feeling.. singing a jiwa2 song lol....

Nasib baik tidak hujan ha..ha!! This is one of the nicest outing i ever had in UTP.....

About the past , the nostalgias and the present

2009-08-03T09:23:00.000-07:00

It's all about what we will do on what we have!

When i seat back and relax it's sometimes reminds me about the memories that i left behind. Related with the title of my blog, i would like to relate the things that were happen in the past and the present. So distinct.. firstly, i will be really grateful and glad for those achievement and all the belongings that i have now, it is so praiseworthy and keeping myself aware that continuous effort and the attitude of keep on working until the last drop of sweat is so important (though most of it are not so big or so superior can be gauge in the monetary amount, but i 'm so glad to have it). Few years before, especially 5 years ago, things are so much differ than now, beginning with a mix-pouring emotion as a secondary school student, me and the buddies were aiming high to achieve the dreams, to get a great tertiary education or entering the university (of course, it is normal for a typical school boy). The afternoon time is being full filled by the hostel's routines and duties such as doing school homework and revision accordingly by the schedule provided. As a hostel boy, i'm only will met my parents once in a week during the church service, each week advices and motivation are given, and it does boost up my spirits, and also fading down my disappointment that are always occur, especially due to my poor performance in my study. At school also i will not be able to forgot my class (form 4 and 5, the only pure science class in my school) are divided unto 2 group or more familiarly known as "pole" a name that given by our english teacher about the situation in our classroom. And due to that, conflics and the differencess of opinions are always occur... but we are still united as one! What a differences or i usually call it spices that has bind us together! Ok, back to my dreams or our dreams... Me and the buddies, that consist of 6 of us were usually together, nothing that separate us, except the current situation where all of us are moving out due to fullfill the ambition or to pursue the studies. And i still remember our promise that we would not be separated and will be together if can in a same college and Uni, but i'm the one who the first that unable to fullfill it... and 4 of us who the dreams is to be in the medical school.. ended by only 2 were managed... and others are going to the different fields, as myself now. I will never forget the time that usually spend at the cyber cafe for lan gaming, the noise that we made in both public and school library, and also the time that we were punished due to miss appropriate manner at the schools, it is so sweet until will make me smile alone.. But the most important is about my family in the past years, where my Daddy is still there and continuosly giving myself a support and encouragement, he is always the first to enlighthen me up, cheering me, and giving myself a lot of advise beside of my mom and my other siblings and friends. But sadly, 2 years ago, about two weeks before i left for my studies, he leave us forever. Now, compare to the time that i've mentioned just now, situations changes a lot where time is superiorly flying very fast, meeting my family for just twice a year (normal cycle of the semeseter studies of the undergraduate) and also responsibilities that i hold now, the organisations that i involve and also what i need to fullfill as an undergraduate. Personally i will say that i'm proud and happy to be in this level and also gratefull for it, but off course i would not be easily content and promise to keep the hard work and to improve it from time to time. I also happy that God has given me an opportunity to know alot of people from a different background with a different view. But the most important are the supports and the prayer from both my Mommy and late Daddy, they taught and guide myself, so i never be easily satisfy and always keeping the effort and faith towards the almighty God! Honestly, the significant things that make myself feel so diference about now than in the past is not about who am i now and where do i am, but since Daddy left us or passed away, i'm personally feel my emotion in a deep sorrow and sadness, and i dint' have any words or phrase that will be able to mention that how i deeply miss him, not that i cannot accept the truth that he is no longer with us, but deep inside my heart i did not know how to express the lonelyness that i need to endures every days. I did able to control it day by day, but i do still miss him, and also it would remind me about mommy who is the bravest and the strongets woman ever. Sorry guys that this post is full scrap and unorganized manner of writing.. but t does make me feel satisfy and able to flow out my emotions...

Thanks for reading!

1 month supply of maintenance phase meds
Quest 1000mg Vita C, and Proviton Ginseng
Evolving revolution in human technologies occurs rapidly in every second, while the clock ticking, other livings are also moving upward by being under the process of evolution. Cheh! another crap factual speech.. but it can't be denied that all the living things are involve in the evolution including the micro organism.. the Virus is Mutating!!! Alert.. ok, we go straight to the topic. H1N1.. Swine flu! It's already claims the fourth victim yesterday, very young, a woman same age with me from Melaka, such a tragic lost this because the victim is suffering through breathing difficulties, heavy pain of fever, and pneumonia. This morning, another critical case is reported in Sg. Buloh Hosp... Ok, so what did i do as a measure of precaution... Begin with myself. After i read the guideline from Ministry of health, i 'm fall under the category of high risk person!! This beacuse i'm just recovering from respiratory related disease (Pleural Tuberculosis) and i'm still on my treatment.. frankly speaking that i'm quite worried. But TB experience has gave me a lesson that is very-very crucial! Prevention is better than cure! It is painfull, so, i din't want to get sick again. Begin with wearing mask in the highly packed area such as academic complex and classes, i'm also consuming a hig dose of vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid! Luckily my dearest sister Fiona gave this weapon 3 weeks ago, she told me that this could be important, beside that i'm taking Proviton Ginseng Capsule as additional supplement... That are not included with my maintenace phase medication, few type of antibiotics... Hope that will boost my immune system. Hu...hu cleanlines the most powerful weapon against contagious disease, washing my hand with antispetic foam, and taking my bath regularly. Then, the worst part is, maybe there will be no outing to Ipoh or any places until the situation is ok.. M'kay! Not enough with that, i've cancel all the CSS (Catholic Student Society) gatherings and meeting. Hope that this lovely campus would not be closed, because it is not advisable for outing, meaning there is no Mass! If we are going, me and the gang are agree to make the rules of wearing mask is compulsory! My advise is, take bath and wash yourself as often and as many as you can, but do not finish up the stocks of soap and shower foam because everybidy need it, an apple a day will also can be a substitute for synthetic vitamin and supplements! Ha..ha! Em, but i hope that all those measure would be able to protect me and yourself. Last but not least, Clinic and hospital are always available around the clock in case we need it. For those who got flu or any identical symptoms, Duyung block is waiting for you and will always be free with all the hospitality that you need! Ha..ha..ha!!!

La renaissance..

After being a centuries i din't update my blog, Walla! then i come again. A feeling of rebirth has arousing in myself, feeling so fresh! To be honest i the beginning of this semester is very distinct compare to those that happen before.. I dont know, maybe the 4 months of long break has refresh and defragmanting my mind. Feeling very free, fresh, and very alert are among those emotion that embedded in myself around this two weeks.. ha..ha very articulate konon.. but there is the up and down to be younger in terms of my study, the pros' is (not prostat ok!) the emotion that i mention just now, more peace inside the class, and the active fellas that are always answering the lectures question and sharing the idea among ourselves, so i din't feel so lonely and i'm very comfortable with it, and of course there is a vice versa, which is i need to form my own group..., beside that i miss my wacky classmate and the jovial fellas, oh ya, forgot, this batch is not bad, i can "cuci mata" (don't miss understood, im not pervert ok!) ha..ha.. But the most important, i gratefull that i can adapt the surrounding in a very fast period, beside that friends are always beside me. Hallelujah! Hope this warm and peacefull athmosphere will be cherish and maintain forever!!
