The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost, 1914

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- this is my favourite poem. I am not taking the road less traveled..."jalan sepi"

I Need A Change

Someone asked me last night of how many millions do I have in my savings account in order for me to get to know this lady. That ticked me or rather I felt, perturbed, by it. And I replied, "By the time I have millions in my saving account, she will be too late to get to know me".

I soooooo want to prove this to her. Just watch me!!!

Dear friends,

I'd like to tell you these ambitions. And I hope y'all can support me or at least, remind me about these aims I have.

1. I want to lose some 10 kilogram of my fat by 31st of December 2006. And subsequently, I want to stay or improve until I achieve my ideal weight by April 1st, 2006.

2. I want to buy a dark blue Mercedes Benz CLK 230 Kompressor, complete with AMG bodykit by next year, March 31st, 2006. That means I have three months to get an income of RM 7,000 per month consistently.

3. By June 2006, I or rather should I say, we, want to launch a business. Insya Allah, this business will generate money for me and my Alam Shah 93/97 friends for many, many and many years to come. Now, I declare myself a business man (I think my other 15 SASsian friends should call themselves as business men too).

I don't know how exactly I can achieve the first aim but I want to do it anyway. The second and the third....are piece of cake. If I want to compare them with the hardship of the founder of Honda, Mr Soichiro Honda had when he started his business years ago.

Support me and remind me of my aims. Only cheers, no jeers!!! Please.
