Small dot on a piece of paper....

Imagine a small dot on a piece of paper. Too small that everybody can barely see it. Too small that nobody can even notice its existence. Too small that it feels so hopeless, motionless and scared. Plus, it is just a small black dot that has no value when it stands alone, waiting to be wiped out of the paper so anybody else can feel up the space with better writings of sentences that can entertain people who read it. What can it do on a paper? Nothing! Exactly nothing!. In reality, you are the small dot. You are a small person living in a big world. A world that you hope can give you everything that you ever dreamed of. You worked hard for it. You gave up everything you could for your dream. You wish to have a higher standard of living once you achieved the goal. But the thing is, it is just a beginning. Like a the small dot; it is just a beginning for a letter and without a letter, we can't form a word and without a word, a sentence is not complete. A good sentence comes from a dot that teams up with billions of other dots to make the sentence visible. A single person represents a dot on a piece of paper. No one ever notices it. No one ever cares unless he/she does something valuable. That is how I put myself. My ability and knowledge are insignificant. What is important is what I can do with them. It does not matter if I had a first class degree from the best school in the world. The only thing matters is what I can contribute. There are many out there who have same level of degree and knowledge that I have, in fact there are people who have better skills and knowledge. I need to push myself to show them what I can do and what I can do the best. This is a cruel world and the best will survive.

Graduated, came back home and now a job

Wow it has been a year since the last time I wrote stuff on here. I guess school work had caught me up and I barely had time for myself. To catch things up, I graduated on May 11th 2012 with Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum Engineering. During the last semester of senior year, I worked part time a teaching assistance (TA) in Dr. Miller's class. I was shocked when they announced me as one of the most outstanding TA for junior class. They announced it during the PE department graduation commencement. I was awarded with a certificate and $500 cash. Gosh, I couldn't be happier with the money! It was a month before I had to come back to Malaysia, leaving all sweet memories and the loved one. It was hard for me to leave Denver, the best city in the whole wide world. My life is there. Every single moment I spent in Denver was priceless. It was not easy for me to get used to my hometown after 3 years being in the states. Its hot, humid and...hot!. Everything is different and of course I missed the states so much. I thought of going back there on the second I was here but, I hold on to myself and kept telling myself it will get better and it is getting better. I started working 3 days ago as a Reservoir Engineer with PETRONAS. God knows how long it took them to send me the offer letter although I knew I passed the interview a month and a half before I reported for duty. I was worried but now I'm bored. I just started working and there is nothing much to do in the office. My work station is empty, no computer, no phone, nothing plus one of my colleagues stole my drawer!!! haha its ok I'm gonna do the same thing when I found one. I moved to KL for work and now everything is almost settled. My stuff from the Sates have arrived and I get to get myself together in the new place although I need more time to unpack the stuff. God!! I miss the superspeed internet, shopping, the school and the people in Denver. I will be going back in 2-3 years. It will be soon enough before I can get back to where I was!!!!
