UNITAR and I

Two years past I was mad into biology but I have no qualification to further into bio field. My parents told me these: in the development of new era a man’s intrinsic qualities and desirable could be drop to a second place, we should give the world demanding into the priority. Even though I love biology too much but I was on a computer science. Hard to believe. My parents definitely got me going, subsequently I’ve found my favourite thing intrigues me and it is information and communications technology. I have been spared much time to literate with computer and also became comfortable with ICT. Apparently I did it! And the truth of the matter was I’ve left bio field at all!

After graduated I’ve worked as a sales assistant because my diploma doesn’t cover a career features prominently. I realized that an educations and skilled workforce will contribute to the success of any related field.

After six months of heavily pressure of work, I finally convinced myself that I needed a higher level of education better than my diploma for future. I have been received an offer letter from UNITAR in order to pursue my dreams. Then I decided I must have it.

At presently I am being further under faculty of information technology and I’m an undergraduate student- Bachelor of Information System (Hons). Being here is totally different with other higher learning institutions. Generally a new student will find it is difficult to accept a virtual learning concept, while others who were exposed into ICT development have no problem. But if they excessively entertain their ancient life, it will be the strange lingo used by experts in traditional cultures.

Hopefully I can achieve my new dream to be an ordinary people but live in an extraordinary circumstance with later IT Degree and I really meant it!

FRIENDS


Do you know the feeling of learning that little secret of friendship? Listening to “Sharks and Sailors” with Cairo and Den made me realize what an inspiration it is been being around them for over five years. In that time, I’ve seen their dedicated attitude toward life and the mixed feels of learning about friends. It take me beyond boundaries I thought were impossible, but it is not!
In his journey to become who and what he is today (he is a pro-skater now), Cairo has had to overcome a troubled youth filled with turn moil and strife. He’s had a life of travel, new faces, and new friends, and he has touched the hearts of everyone. Who knows him-leaving people in wonder, as well as putting smiles on their faces?
I think Cairo is a real person that I can call ‘friend’ who shares the same feeling of natural liking and interest. Even he is a professional in skateboarding and I’m only a little baby in the field, but we share the similar age. People asked me how old I am and when I told them I’m nineteen, they were shocked or something. They asked me more, how can you make a friend with Cairo and I told them he has a pleasant manner, and found it easy to make friends. Furthermore we are nineteenth each other. They were looked like very unbelievable of me but we were just giving them smiles. Maybe they did not believe that Cairo is nineteen because of his career; and I still walk toward school!
If you ever see Den, go up and say, ‘hi’. That is if he doesn’t beat you to it. If you see him stressing, just understand he’s one of those people who get a little mad at himself; because he’s always trying to push it to the next level. Once he has a direction he can do anything he puts his mind to. The process he goes through to accomplish any feat is rather remarkable. His motivation and pore soul will keep him young and heart forever. I owe him a lot as a friend, but he probably owes me more. Who cares, we’re having too much fun in life to think about it. Do you know who Den is? Maybe people think he is my college mate and spending time together in campus.




Den are 22 for most of his teenage life he dedicated himself to his family and to the youth of his community. In addition to his work with Handicapped Alam Society, Den was very active in local upland. Den did not have a right hand. We can say Den is a special person. I don’t care whose Den is but I had learn a lot of things from him.
Put Cairo into perspective. He is a genius. I have a theory that great skaters are extremely smart. I don’t mean book smart, and to be honest he’s like a master- like Mozart or Dali- so focused on one thing their whole life, that they know it forwards, backwards, and site to site.
Except skateboarders will never get the respect that artist and musicians get because there are so few of us to appreciate what they do? But there’s no denying that Cairo is just that, a master.
Different to Den, he is quiet passive rather than Cairo. Suit him as his career, Handicapped Alam Society trainer. Den is a real polite person I’ve ever seen. He’s always come out his advice, quote and poem. Cairo and I really enjoy when we’re spending time together.
Living in a special circumstances was asked anybody to learn a special feelings too. Den told me these, so I think people in the world should know this too. But early in the beginning, I saw the truth. Den is a very successful person in order to continue his life.
Hmmm. It was around seven or so in the morning and I was sitting on a bus bench in front of my house in order to wait for them. Anyone who saw me will ask me the motive I sitting there. I tried to ignore their last word-crazy to make sure I have a patient manner enough to wait for my loving buddies.
Suddenly a guy across the street gave me a Ninja board- hei it’s Cairo; and the guy behind him is a Den. My mom asked us to have a breakfast when she saw them. But all of us were glued to the TV on that time (we have watched TV early in the morning). It was one of those days where things started out slowly. We were minding our own business, just chatting amongst ourselves and doing whatever we want. I wanted to skateboard a lot anyway such as Cairo, and my mom was down for that. I was stuck but Cairo always asking me to obey the opinion given about what should be done. This is the perfect thing I found in Cairo. He’s really smart in respecting person which older than him. He is a loving person anyway.
“Did you see my phone? I can’t find my cell phone!”
These were the first words I heard out of my father’s mouth this morning. Apparently he lost her cell phone-hip kit. We spent the portion of the day looking around the spots where we’d previously been in pursuit of finding the baby blue hip kit. No luck at all. Having a cell phone is like being addicted to crack and my father was suffering from withdrawals all day. Subsequently Den planned to buy a new model of cell phone to father. We are trying to save. I’m usually pretty good with money. I have some money. So do Cairo and Den. But we are not rich. Lastly we definitely spend money buying a cell phone.
I wanted to be skating next to Cairo. I know it was hard as well as Den’ quote but he definitely helped me out a lot. Because I’m into it. My father wasn’t really stoked on it, maybe he was but he didn’t say anything to me; but I’ve already knowed that Cairo and Den were explained everything to him.
I can’t even tell all of you how much they did for me. I appreciate it more than anything.

I left my memories behind; and i don't think i would look back. It is like a cracked addicted when someone's dealing with Information System courses. Spending time for a years in front of computer doing a things we called programming, multimedia projects, database etc was like walking around a circle but finally failed to find the end of it. Luckily I've found it, but still I can do nothing with it. Maybe it was the right thing I've done; left it far away... and I don't have to deal with migrain, oracle fever, project paper 1,2,3 on and on.
