possible yet impossible

The other day I had quite an enlightening conversation, were we (me and my friend) casually
Just talked aboutrandom stuff

When we suddenly talked about our wish lists
Mine was a more (materialistic) wish list
Were I name a few items I would like to acquire
Among those items was a new camcorder
And the other item was actually repairing an item I already had

Aside from that matter
My list had a materialistic sounding to it, items and items came in line

Then my friend started and asked
"Do you want to know what my wish list is?"

And I answered him yes tell me

He then started with his list

* I want to quit smoking
* I want to lose weight
* I want to settle down and start a family

Wow at that moment I kind of felt a big enormous feeling of shame
Since all that I wanted was materialistic stuff
And my friend was wishing for things that were generally bigger

I did feel at that moment that maybe I was a bit immature to think of materialistic issues
He goes on and explains
“I took it as a way in my life to wish for impossible yet possible wishes"

And he was right look at the wishes that he asked for
*to quite smoking (since he was a smoker)
It is possible for him to quit, but it’s impossible to go ahead with it

The nature of the wishes were possible to do, but impossible to undergo and have
The diligence to continue on the hard work to achieve

Yet he wishes to do so and one day achieve such wish

We tend to wish all the time, its ok for us to wish for a bigger house, a fancy car or even
Have those super cool fancy expensive shoes

But it’s always BETTER to have a self improvement wish
For having a better life

And remember; be careful for what you wish for
Cause you just might get it

And when you get it.... well lets take that to another article (=D)

The greatest human experience (2)

It is such an interesting title
Anything that goes under the tile of greatest human experience
We can learn alot from such human experience

Which makes a good series to talk about?
Or maybe to think of starting off =D

But let’s take it from here and see where it may go

-Back to the article-

Recently I have officially graduated and I have been able to successfully take all the documents
Needed for my graduation

As I went to my university
To finalize all the paper work that was in the way
I passed through the my collage
Seeing all the corners and all the teachers
Passing through all the classes

Brought all of a sudden a sense of nostalgia
A sense of yearning to get back
To those seats and those classes and computer labs

It took me time
To realize that I have missed that place
Even though I have had a (love, hate) relation towards my university and collage
And how now it turned to be a "maximum security facility"
Even though I still like
I still like all those corners, classes, seats and benches

I recall all the times I spent in each and every corner and class
And even though I have to be happy that I have graduated
I still feel sad for leaving a place that grew on me
A place which up until now cannot believe that I have spent
Five years of my life at

Faced many people and faced many stories
Funny and interesting
Sad and happy ones too

We are suppose to grow up to take on new challenges and responsibilities
But we will still yearn to those times
When we were still at the start of it thinking we are all the best at it
Surely they were right when they said
Collage is a defining period in the life of youth

It shapes up our personalities and makes us what we are
It may not prepaid us for what to expect but
It teaches us what we could do if we were ever faced with such situation

And even though I am positive
Many will disagree with me
And disagree that it’s a joyous thing actually
To get rid of a burden
To graduate from University Of Bahrain "UOB"

But I personally will say
I will miss it
Though I know deep down I am happy for getting rid
Of all that hassle
But I will miss the experience

None the less this is how it is suppose to be
We are supposed to grow to see and experience!
