Life Is Like A Roller-Coaster

Some say life is like a box of chocolates, while others may say life is like a box of rattlesnakes. Some say life is like a short candle, so brief that it only lights up for a moment and then dies off. Those who appreciate life say life is great, whereas those who are fed up with life say life sucks.

If you ask me, I would say life is like a roller coaster.

There was once I queued up for a roller coaster ride at a theme park with my bunch of friends. While waiting in line, I was thinking about some of the similarities between life and a roller coaster ride. At first, I was just trying to kill time. But come to think of it, there are so many things to relate life to a roller coaster ride. What crosses your mind when you are being questioned about ‘what you think of life?’ Some would simply say life is great, and some would say life is suffering or even torture. In other words, life has its ups and downs just like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes you feel happy, other times you feel sad or even mad. Well, that’s one part of life that cannot be missed by anyone. Besides, no roller coaster ride exists that will only have ups all the while without any downs.

Likewise, both roller coaster and life can be exciting experiences and you never know what you will be facing next. In the ride, it doesn’t really matter if you sit in the front or the back — everyone has a similar experience. Both can be fun one minute and terrifying the next. This is because you will never know how many twists and turns lie ahead of your journey. At one moment you will be having all the fun and suddenly you will be terrified next. In life, it’s always a different thrill each day. All of us will go through thick and thin in life.




Some scream, some shout, others cry and yet others laugh. But it doesn’t matter at all actually. No matter how hard this ride seems to be, all you have to do is to get through it and have faith in yourself! All of us have to be positive and not be afraid to continue the journey as we only get the chance to live once, not more than that.

Another similarity is that both require participation – watching just isn’t the same.

In life, we always have to be courageous. Before you ride on the roller coaster, first of all you surely need to have the guts and determination to finish the ride. Moreover, you will have to be fully prepared for the extreme speed, sharp turnings and 360 degrees twists which may even cause you to pee in your pants or worse suffer a heart attack. However, if one only chooses to watch and not to ride, he might end up losing the opportunity to take on a ride which could turn out to be the most fantastic experience in his whole life. Life is like a roller coaster - fast, fun, and potentially dangerous. We should be brave to overcome it all. Remember, it is better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life. Also, it is not for the weak at heart and this tells us to take care of our health in order to be able to survive the ride.

Life is not only all about our own selves. At most of the time, we have to share our feelings and thoughts with another. No one in this world can or should ever live alone, everyone needs friends or a companion to accompany them some time in their life. If a person remains solitary and chooses not to share, his life will be dull, colourless and boring. Prolonged solitude eventually leads to insanity! This is also no different with a roller coaster ride; it is definitely more fun to ride with friends or even strangers, compared to riding it alone. It is surely more fun to share the excitement with someone close to you than keep feelings within yourself. So to have someone holding your hand high up when you are having fun or close to their hearts when it becomes frightening is very reassuring indeed. Like the wise man once said, “sharing is caring”.

Before I took the ride, the notice board at the entrance which listed down all the rules for our safety while riding the roller coaster caught my eye. Most certainly, in our life we must also abide to the rules and regulations to ensure our survival. In addition, rollercoaster rides come in many shapes, designs, and colors. In short, we get to choose our rides from easy, safe, gentle ones to exciting, dangerously fast ones or you might find something in between – so it is with life, we make our own choices on setting the pace.

Sadly, both roller coaster rides and life go by too fast and don’t last long enough. In a blink of an eye, the ride is over despite all ups and downs along the journey. Thus, it is very important to appreciate everything in life as life is really brief. In a short while, it will be over before you even know it.

You never know where destiny might lead you to. Life is about exploration and it is bound to be an unforgettable experience and so too with a roller coaster ride. But fear not and don’t lose faith because if you follow the track, it will eventually bring you home. So do not frown and do not sigh. We should just smile and bravely face the sunshine because even though it’s like living a bit on the edge with many potential dangers, we should constantly remind ourselves – that’s being ALIVE.

So, isn’t life just like a roller coaster? Are you ready for the ride of your LIFE? Do I hear a resounding “YES”?

Summer-Time Guy

I loved the deep blue sea. YES I DO. Always love it.

I enjoy the breeze coming directly from the sea, the taste of the salty sand as I accidentally sip some of it along the cool breeze.

The sea water, the sea-shells, starfish, jelly-fish or whatever goes with it.. I can feel that they are always part of me. I feel connected to the sea!!


Hey, I can actually learn a lot from the blue ocean you know?? everything I see not only tranquillize me, but also teach me so many stuffs I can get nowhere. Such as hard water crashing onto stones by the shores - telling me to be tough all the time, lovey-dovey seagulls - a sign of love,the vast ocean - telling me how HUGE this world can be for me to explore!!! =D

Over the years, I personally think that I tried most of the water sports and I loved all of them. snorkelling, diving, jet-skiing, kites, surfing, swimming, fishing??? Maybe there are more of them.. So eager to try all of them in my short lifetime, taking them on as part of my dream. Surfing~~~Imagining how cool I can be. LOL


So, what the heck?? I am in love with the beach duhh.. I can tell you that I look the best by the beach!! Haha.. how much I hope that I can be the King of the Blue World.


Now is almost 3am, let's dream. One day, I wanna own a cottage by the most terrific beach in the world, wearing on cool shades, on my flowery surfing pants, grabbing a surfing board with my signature on it, showing off my packs under the sun, plus my infamous cocky look XD ( not forgetting to add a bunch of chics in bikinis surrounding me ) Life is cool eh?


Maybe I am making you guys think why am I saying all these suddenly, but this image just pop up in my mind suddenly, couldn't control it. No, I didn't go to any beach for already half a year. I am just missing it dearly.. as if I got no chance to dip myself in the sea any longer.


I just miss those times, right now I am thinking about those cool beaches and sunsets I went to since the day I was alive. Phuket time was one of the coolest. Haha...Penang too =\











wow... sleepy!! Will try to tell more about my love for the sea next time.. Tataz!!!

Seeing those lovey-dovey seagulls is such an envious view =(

How much I wish to be a summer-time guy who fell in love with a mermaid one day
Mermaid oh mermaid, where are you?? =PP


-Ys-

Pause.

I said that I will update this week, but I somehow don't seem to make it.

I said that I will study this week, but my notes are still in my bag =P

I said that I will finish my assignments this week, but I haven't even started yet =X

(I said that ...)x99
...but I ended up just saying it ~~~!!!

Oh well, forgive me people, I already expected this from the beginning.

Yet, I never thought that I can be that 'busy'(if you get what I mean) during this 1 week break

Never thought that I am sleeping 3am everyday here anyway, supposedly I should be resting up myself...haha..



About the bball match last week, RusKor Team turn out to be 4th, thrashing Middle East Team, ADFP Team, but thrashed by Japan in semi.. Anyway, good game!!





Events lining up for every weekends currently. This Saturday will be Hari Anugerah Cemerlang - I got award for Pelajar Cemerlang SPM and unexpected Top Student for Sejarah Subject (The subject I suppose to hate the most) How vague..

Next week, AVB annual dinner, Following weeks Russian Night, Grand dinner or maybe some pending proms??




Alright, that's all for now. Something's up. Goodnitez sweet-ones ;)

It's a Game

Enthusiasm...

because I once have it and then I lost it

The phone rang in the evening. I was being told that we have to withdraw from the basketball competition for INPRO due to certain reasons. Not much to say, my enthusiasm for tomorrow's fiery match has to be put off.


Almost 12AM.. The annoying Phone rang again, kinda freaked me out cause normally I don't get calls so late but messages. And now, he says the game is ON -.-"


Dude.. my fire is long gone, and I may have 'troubles' coming over tomorrow for the match coz it's too last minute..

Anyway, to restart my fire, at least. Let's ask for some support in this blog xD

Must support No.6 tomorrow k?? pray for his team =D


If I can't make it, guys - good luck. Lift the 'Ruskor' Spirit...hahax
All the best to: Kah Fai, zhu zai, hak zai, nokia, Reuben, Hup Sheng, Eric... did I left anyone out??
Anyway, I am sure the MVPs will take care of things.




Win or Lose
is inevitable..cause it's all part of the game =)
the winners cheer, the losers boo-ed
that's the rule of the Game

I can still remember LeBron James once mentioned -
"I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me.
I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life."

A Gift or a Warning??





Out of a sudden,

TODAY


I was "QUARANTINED" XD
in other words, I got my free time.. a blessing for me?
or a warning for all?




Well, we cannot always take things seriously,
let's just say - I have to appreciate this 1 week time =)

While the time goes tick-tock-tick-tock..
The brief and soft whispers told me something

My reaction was undescribable..
I wondered, is this all pure "coincidence" or all the time "fated"



The Day I was brought to this place,
Will be the Day I will leave this place.





Sarcastic, yet this is so weird and amazing
My life...rocks, full with mysteries ;)

-satisfied with outcome-

1 month later..

First post after 1 month..

Who even bothers visiting this DEAD blog anyway??

Just a piece of my mind.

Many, many things had happened in this single month and time sure pass incredibly fast. Every time I try to stop time, it goes faster instead, as if a policeman trying to stop a thief, the moment you try to chase him, he ran faster...and faster till it goes out of sight, eventually, till you can't even see his shadows.

Exhausted of chasing, I really am beaten up 'flat' by time.

Flashing back in a period of ONE month, countless things had changed with God's will.. This includes the people around me, and also myself. Yes, I have gained much but also felt drifted further and further away from who I used to be a month ago.

Is it me who is drifting away or the others? The 'strangers' are getting closer to me while the 'closed ones' are seemed to be more and more 'strangers' to me. I can't seem to find the 'person' to share my feelings with anymore like the past.. who really wanna hear them anyway??Now, I rather keep most of it to myself now.

Those who he used to adore with all his life also changed so much till he almost fail to recognize them any longer. The way they used to talk, the jokes they used to share, the similarities they used to share. However, Shaun sure is glad to know that they are doing so well now, his part seem to get more and more unimportant, more like a portrait or a doll. Just like time, the more he try to chase, the more foolish he will look, and the further you wanna avoid, and he felt it with a sigh. He just wants you to know, as long as you are glad without him around, he is willing to let go all that were left for him here anytime, no need for words, let actions do the talking.. he believes that there is surely another person who can...no, it's 'will' replace his role, for sure.


Perhaps this change he is feeling now indicates what will happen in the near future. Thus, he is trying hard to get used to it. To experience how it's like to lost something he treasure most, just in case. The pain is excruciating, but gotta face it one day somehow. He is trying and will continue trying..May the past be the past, they might never ever happen again like it used to be, so just let it be another fragment of memories.

After all, he is really delighted to have this fragment to be part of his memory and will treasure it throughout of his lifetime. Even though one day he will grow so old till he can't even remember his own name, may this precious fragment never be forgotten.

In life, when you lose something, you most probably gain another. It's not all bad with my current situation though. I really enjoyed myself for this past one month, adapting to a new environment which I never dream of, not once, meeting a big bunch of marvelous friendly personals who soon became my closest gang of buddies to hang out with, learning a totally new language which 90% Malaysians will never understand (really comes in handy when you trying to say something "you don't want others to understand" =P), being much more independent after getting out from the 'comfort zone' for so long, having quite a fulfilling life - everyday packed with new events happening.

In short, my life rocks!! Things are starting to get more and more interesting, unlike the first day. Current schedule packed with basketball trainings, ping pong and tennis for INPRO competition daily and to keep my fitness level to par, going to gym more oftenly if there aren't many homework or tests..


Am I stuffing my nights with books??? Truthfully, no. Most of the time I spent on sports and yumcha as there are too many mamak stalls to explore in this area. Hahaha... I am not turning into a nerd like certain parties assumed kay.. I am still who I am. But I always look forward for weekends =)

By the way, I am extremely glad that I get 1000000 times better nicknames here in Shah Alam compare to KL.. KL friends...haihh...disappointed with you guys lots. lol.

Basically, I skipped too many interesting events going on around me, just TOO many of them. Reasons?

1. Moodless (it's obvious in this post)
2. Busy (Not kidding, really)
3. Too many (I got 3 blogs to handle)
4. Wasted too much time waiting and hoping for something I already knew the answer (..daydreaming)
5. Err.... LazY (Hahaha... EXACTLY)

A little update on what's going on lately..

Things are getting more fun after more 'juniors' enrolled into INTEC, including 4 Victorians 'juniors' (Chimp, Chee Hoe da Torpedo B., Wanqing and Yan Ling). Being a senior is fun xD

Tomorrow, will be leaving to Putrajaya together with both Rus14 and Rus15 for some event with Tun Dr. Mahathir's wife, Datin Seri Dr. Siti Hasmah plus V.I.Ps.

Last but not least,

Please be informed that my NEW MSN ADDRESS will be changing to:

yushaun923@hotmail.com

Michael Jackson "King of Pop" left us in such a sudden manner... the sudden death of this legendary popstar shook the world like an enormous earthquake on the 26th June 2009.

His death shook mine too.. I don't know why.. after watching his past videos from the day he became a star at young age until today, I feel sad. Little tears filled up the side of my eyes, it's a pity for such talented person to leave so early, and so sudden. Perhaps I have this feeling because I always admired his dancing skills and learnt some of his infamous M.J. moves..

Even though there are ups and downs in his life.. M.J. is officially known as LEGENDARY KING OF POP and had lived a colourful 50 years of lifetime.. it's much better to live a short fulfilling life rather than a long, dull life. Your legend will always be lived by generations to come, may you R.I.P., King of Pop.

What if.. one day I choose to leave like M.J. without anybody's knowledge?
