“Anta hanya boleh pergi Haji tahun 2022, tapi kalau nak cepat, boleh buat rayuan. Tulis surat….” ujar staff TH di depan aku, sebalik kaunter. Hujung-hujung ayatnya tidak jelas pada aku sebabnya aku tersedar/tersenyum/teringat balik yang tahun itu adalah 2022!!. Wow, aku macam tersedar dari mimpi bila mendengar nombor itu. Tidak pernah terlintas dalam fikiran aku untuk mempunyai pelan sejauh itu dan sekarang aku perlu adakannya.

Menjejakkan kaki ke Tanah Suci Mekah adalah impian semua umat islam di dunia ini dan aku pun begitu. Walaupun aku dah 2 kali ke sana (atas urusan kerja & umrah), ibadah Haji adalah berbeza. Cakap jek pasal pergi haji, mak ayah aku mesti sayu saja wajahnya memandangkan kos yang makin tinggi untuk ke sana. Ditambah lagi, nama mereka antara yang sedang diproses untuk ke Mekah tahun ini. InsyaAllah ada rezeki mereka akan ke sana hujung tahun ini juga. Pasal perbelanjaan, biar aku yang risaukan. Ini ‘hadiah’ aku untuk mereka.

After contemplating for that idea, looking from many perspectives of opportunity and what future behold on me, i think it’s a high time for me to do it.

It’s time to do it that many perceive it as impossible, yet they does not realize of the power of determination of me.

Impossible is nothing. The brickwall will melt with the heat of my determination.

The time has arrived…

The best ‘emotional-bundled’ book i’ve read. For the last couple of months, i’ve always seen this book at the ‘special’ shelf in many bookstores. I thought it ‘another-motivational-book-to-raking-up-a-top-and-quick-dollar-from-the-public’. On July 25, i was proven wrong. I came across Randy’s ‘The Last Lecture’ recording in YinVSYang’s website. It really struck a chord on me. It stirred my emotion. Yes, very much indeed. A dying man, talking about how to live life, being happy, value time & family while he is in the final phase of his life. His vibrant look, energy level did puzzled me. How irony that can be. I came across so many people who wish to die sooner due their mountain of problems and yet, Dr. Pausch who have been told that his life is almost reaching the end, never give up on the battle with his pancreatic cancer.

On the day i discovered who Randy was by watching the video, the very same day he succumbed to the cancer that he suffered. On the next monday, i saw the news from the Internet about the loss. In an instant, i felt the loss too. I never knew him personally. I wish i could.

On that day, after work, i rushed to the nearest bookstore to grab his book titled the same as his video. It cost me RM34.90 from MPH. Back home, i started reading it after having a good shower. I seldom do that if i bought a new book. My gut feeling says, i should do it, ASAP. And i never regret it at all.

This book is such an amazing material. Dr. Pausch wrote about how to life live rather than waiting for his death. His advices are timeless and thought-provoking too. I just finished reading it this afternoon and i might re-read it again tomorrow.

RIP Dr. Randy Pausch. You will be remembered always.
