Benda yang paling best ialah: Lepas 6 bulan bertungkus lumus, berfikir, jadi gila jap, lepas tu berfikir lagi, lepas tu meeting sana sini, telefon sana sini, sampai extend satu semester, berurusan dengan seribu satu loghat orang Jerman, boss garang, xde orang Malaysia dalam julat 50 kilometer, presentation yang sangat menakutkan; akhirnya hasil karya aku siap. Dalam bahasa Jerman. Thesis ku: 65 Muka surat ayat buatan sendiri. Ringkasan pembelajaran degree mechanical engineering di Jerman.
Thesis yang sangat mencabar. Alhamdulillah habis. Projek yang makan bajet 40 000 Euro, 268 cawan kopi sepanjang 6 bulan, dan mengambil 960 jam untuk direalisasikan. Benda yang paling best ialah perkara2 yang dibelajar semasa buat projek ni, yang tidak boleh dipelajari dari mana2 kelas atau kuliah iaitut; Cara berinteraksi, cara bagi arahan, cara bercakap dengan orang atasan, bawahan dan cara menjadi fleksibel dan proffesional dalam apa jua keadaan. Pengalamanku dewasakanku.
Awal2, ada sesetengah orang gelak, cakap aku x kan sempat siap. X amek aku serius. Cakap projek ak makan masa dua tahun la, suruh aku putus asa la. Kini mereka salah.
Kepada yang membaca: Pesanan aku: Jangan jadikan apa2 rintangan sebagai alasan untuk putus asa. Biarpun faktor bahasa ke, budaya ke, persekitaran ke, kewangan ke. Kalau buat silap, baiki. Silap lagi, baiki lagi. Gunalah apa2 cara, biarpun pelik atau luar mainstream, sampai benda tu berfungsi.

We learn
We were young. We made miracles, mischief and mistakes. As humans,we learn from them and become the best person there is to be.
Learning is a life long process. We learn to breathe with our noses and mouths the moment we come out from our mother's womb. We learn to speak, read, write, and most importantly live. Experiences teach us, mold us to become who we are today. When we were teens, we learned to blend into crowds. We learned the art of mixing with others. When we are adults, we learn to seek love and seek who we are, learn our likes, dislikes and seek peace with others and mostly with our own selves.
We learn that imperfection is part of being human. We learn to tolerate, thrive and survive. That's who we are.
We learn how to talk to different types of people. We learn how to use our knowledge for our families and colleagues. We learn that sometimes what we really want we are not meant to get, and what we do not want is what we really need. We learn the secrets of happiness. We learn to see the world based on our new found experiences. We seek solace in religion. We find wisdom in older people. We learn to choose the proper role model. We give motivation to people we love, we seek help from people who could give us help. We learn to tolerate our friends, spouse, and family for the imperfection they have.
We learn so many things every single day. And this goes on till the day we die. For the knowledge we share could either benefit generations to come or bring it to total destruction. We must accept that learning is life long and never ever think that we learned enough. For there exists a sea of knowledge around us and it is our job to use this for the sake of humankind so that it could survive the tough times ahead.

24 years old
I write this post in accordance to my 24th year of being on this planet.
24 Years old. Seriously whenever I think to myself and say that I'm now 24, it is seemingly unbelievable. 1988 - 2012. Oh man. That is very long. I praise the Creator for giving me a long age to learn about myself and about thé reality of this world.
These 3 years living in Germany, really changed me. Last time, my opinion did not change a single thing in this world. Now my opinion is the leading factor that governs how the world works around me. Last time, it was like when I talked, nobody listened. Now, whatever you say, people actually listen eventhough they pretend not to. And I am very thankful for this.
But for every blessing, there is a price to pay. Now, my opinions counts too much that I really have to be careful what comes out from my mouth. All my words are being judged because I am no longer a teenager or a child. Thank the Almighty, I am able to make the correct decisions in my life that put me in a respectable position. The sacrifice I made so far i.e leaving the comforts of my home in Malaysia, becoming a travelling student in a cuntry whose culture is far different from ours, having to change the language of thought: from English to German.
My decisions took 15 years of my age. But with this sacrifice, i got freedom. But freedom comes with a price which is that one has to endure painfully and carry all the risks alone.
Ya Allah. 24 years old. 2 years away from my family. And entering 3 years. How I miss seeing my younger sister grow up. Being the hottest, smartest and the most popular girl in school.
I don't want to change to a boring adult. But the fact is that, the wheels of destiny are forcing me to change. Deep in my heart, the child within me is very much alive. But I have to kill it, so as it could fit me being a ''Prüfstandingenieur''. Being proffesional is number one prority.
As what my dad used to tell me: Be tough, don't be stepped on, always protect yourself
As what my mum used to tell me: Be humble, always be patient, Allah will always reward your deeds.
Happy Birthday Farid Hadri. 07.07.1988.
