Hit-and-Run in Malaysia ( Us Too)

Last time, I posted Hit-and-Run in China not too long ago. I was lamenting how some people lacked moral values. I was really hoping that never would anything like that occur in Malaysia. Unfortunately, it did. It broke my heart when I heard. Surely most of you Malaysians know of the incident that occurred in July this year. Seven people walked by 60-year-old Tan Kim Chuan who lied unconscious on the ground in the aftermath of a snatch theft incident.

Honestly, I was just so appalled when I read of the news. Is this what have we come to Malaysians? Perhaps it's good that the new curriculum will have community service a prerequisite to graduate from university. It's time to care for society.

Chronic Procrastination

I am seventeen and I suffer from chronic procrastination. Actually, to say "suffer from" just doesn't do because I know this is within me. And Insyallah, God gave us all willpower. So I know I am the one to blame. You think  that saying, 'I'll do it in five minutes time" won't hurt but it does.Hurt. In every sense of the word. You sit for days (while at procrastination) thinking what it would've been like if you had just made full use of your time, you would have had the results you wanted.

When I was in Form Three, I started having goosebumps about PMR in the second half of the year. I worked hard. And last  minute studying became irrelevant. But my motivation was to score A+. I've grown much more since then or so I think. I foolishly thought I could ace exams without being so obsessed with studying by learning for the sake of learning. Well, the intention was pure but implementation became another issue. I've also grown lazier, a remarkable change that I am not proud of.

If you're a child who happens to read this post (though I doubt that because I sound like such an oldie when I write) , remember that procrastination is a thief of time. Huh that was lame but it's true. Wow, this is my first time using a proverb in my blog I think. Ciao.
