The Last Sunday in October

I spent the last Sunday with Rashad and Fido in Shah Alam. We did thing which was quite rare to do especially on Sunday as we decided to study at Uitm Library. It was a great time spent as we managed to spend our time wisely to study and do some revision. While Rashad was preparing for his trial exam, Fido was busy with his final preparation for A2 exam.

That morning greeted us with a great surprise. Our good friend, Haqa (Sdr. Farquar Haqqani) was elected as a new UKEC chairman. During the breakfast, the euphoric moment filled the air. We can’t stop talking how Haqa would address the crowd during the next MSLS (Malaysian Student Leaders Summit) or how he would shape the future direction of UKEC.

But that was not really the ultimate thing that we discussed. We were a lot happier simply because UKEC was founded by our debating master, Allahyarham Adlan Benan Omar. We were happy because Haqa who was once coached by two ex-chairmen of UKEC finally took the helm of the organization.

To finally see our good friend making a small step yet a very significant one means a lot to us (at least to me). The day spent with Rashad and Fido actually marks how the time has quickly passed and may overtake us one day.

In the library, I took some time to reflect how things have changed so much with each one of us now has different priority in life. Although we aim for different things, I always pray that we begin the journey with a right intention and purpose.

I wish Rashad and Fido would give their best shot in anything they do in life. I wish exactly the same thing for me and the same goes to Haqa too. It is such a great privilege to have you around and I must admit here that you are such a talented and clever boy. Those talents should not be wasted as you are capable to do many great things in the future.

And during that particular day too, I just could not stop smiling. It might be a sign of many wonderful things to come hopefully in the near future.
