Ham’s Journal

April 8th 11.09pm

I am sitting here at starbucks drinking fruit juices and having an ol chat with my ‘factor’ bro. As usual giving him the usual jibe about arsenal loosing to West Ham while the MIGHTY REDs post another victory to cruise pass Reading. To all MU fans… they lost as well. A very very good weekend. Hahahahaha. Anyway just gloating abit because of my football team.

Hey… i have been down in the dumps for abit. Cant really pinpoint the reason but hey a man’s gotta stand up and take notice that the world aint going to wait for anyone and thats what i am going to do. There are bound to be ‘people’ out there who will all they can to hurt you, to bring you down and to just do anything to ensure that your life is miserable. You know what… i am ok with that. The world is not the same place which is used to be 10 years back. Do i blame this type of people? dont think so… like i always believe every individual has every given right to make their own decisions and i will respect them for this. But the biggest gifts we humans we given as our birth right was the gift of choice and i choose to be happy. I choose to make sure that no matter what the circumstances, i will smile and i will strive to make the world a better place. "To err is human & to forgive is divine" but what am i am suppose to forigve about? Nothing actually. We all make decisions which will ensure that our paths of destiny will be written in the future and currently i personally feel that i have to prioritize what are the important things in my life.

I look up from where i sit here at Starbucks right now and i see a cute female smiling back and i return the effort as well. My bro next to me just emphasizes the fact that "sh*t happens" but there are alot of other beautiful things in life which are just waiting for us. I too believe that. I lost the positivity outlook i had in the last 2-3 weeks. Tonight i gather my strength during this Easter Celebration and with renewed faith i know that I am back to my best.

Remember my good friends… time & tide wait for no man.. and even though there are some of us who might have missed the ‘1st bus’ there is bound to be another ‘2nd or 3rd bus’ coming along soon enough. and to those who doubt this.. dont worry. the ‘bus’ might never come but this does not mean that we have to wallow in self pity. Heck… thank your lucky stars. The grass is NEVER greener on the other side. Only those who know me very well who read what i have written will understand what i mean.. and to those who dont understand.. get to know me better.. i am an open book ready to be read.

A few words of advice.

1) Always know what you want and stand up to grab your dreams and make sure nobody takes it away from you.

2) Do NOT ever lie to a friend. Friends do NOT hurt each other.. friends do NOT lie to each other and most importantly FRIENDS are there for you in your worst moments of your life. I thank GOD for the friends in my life for we as friends always motivate each other, pick each other up and most importantly enjoy in each other’s success.

3) Have faith, have hope and always always realize that the sun will always rise the next day. If you asked me if i died the very next min, would i be contented? The answer is a bittersweet yes/no. Why? because i am happy to know that I have always stood up to be counted. I have always known that i am NOT a quitter and i will continue to proof that to myself. but then again have i reached the pinnacle of my life. No. The world is out there to be conquered and Ham is ready to take up the challenge.

4) RESPECT. Respect your family & friends and most importantly dont be a sly hound which goes about squirming your way through people’s life. I am not making this personal but believe me Karma can be quite an ass-kicker. What goes around comes around.

Ok enough with my preaching ways. I leave you with this famous quote "What doesnt kill you… only makes you stronger" and trust me when you are stronger… nothing… and i mean it nothing will ever stand in your way.

PS: Happy Easter… and one quarter of the year has come and gone. Lets make the rest 3/4 of the year a memorable one.
