Turning 31
Getting older? Remember, age is just a number. I celebrate my birthday on each 1st day of Chinese New Year and 15 February. Why? Because I was born on the 1st day of Chinese New Year, Year of Sheep/Goat in 1991. So I celebrate it twice. Probably a reason for me to treat myself for the hard work I've done since SPM. I've worked since the day after my last SPM paper in 2018 and it hasn't been easy to be unable to rest. So, my body could've responded negatively and now I have Multiple Sclerosis. To those who say we should work overtime, please think of the time you'll spend recovering when it finally hits you.
Throughout the years we've lived, we'll go through many things that shape us into who we are. I remember doing a QuantiQuali Final Year Project thesis in 2013 for Communications major. Quanti for Psychology major.
So for all of my theses (we had to do a lot of research throughout the 4 years of studies), I'm always reminded of the importance of the 5W1H. People think that we don't really learn much of anything applicable in life while in school. However, I should correct that by reminding you how our teachers used to emphasize on 5W1H while doing essays. That is still applicable in preparing reports if you work at HQs that require many reports throughout the year.
Add math? You learned to calculate carefully, because you might miss an element that should be added or deducted, divided or multiplied. It's also usable in calculations of zakat, dividends, etc. The same goes for other subjects: you don't realize how you've applied it in daily life.
Here's to another year of learning. By the way, having Multiple Sclerosis made me revise my Biology texts and Psychology texts because it has to do with the brain and spinal cord. Learning is evergreen. You only stop learning when you're not in this world.
