traceless

hi i'm faiz .
i have no past;
no family;
never played near a muddy river;
or biked around the city when i was 9;
i didn't go to that school;
or that university;
never lived in that neighbourhood;
no i never got a scholarship.



wish i could cleanse myself of my past sometimes. sometimes, they can't see beyond where you're from and where you've been. society has its way in bringing out our worst behavior.

pencil3
wish i was a simpler guy. u know, no frills. no ideas.

be careful on what you wish for.

tho had to agree, society does bring out our worst behaviour.

I wished I've gotten a scholarship. but if I did, I wouldn't know the hardship in how to manage my finances, the burden of debt, which , in the way, matures people by how to overcome problems and find ways around it.

regret is an awful thing. when you regret, basically, you blame God. As if you've done enough to deserve the authority of blaming God. Thats why I kept on reminding myself to not regret. I'm nowhere from having that privilege of blaming God.

People wish for a lot of things, but eventually, they live for who they really are.

nadi is right. no regrets.

who i am is all about where i've been: childhood. education. etc. and, sociologically as well, like my heritage/race and economic background. needless to say, i was/am blessed.

people look at you differently when you're, uh, raised 'unusually'. call it elitism, or whatever. it makes me feel guilty when these obvious differences are made apparent.

i don't ever want to feel that i am better than others.

but if some overrated angel ever comes through your window and grant you a different life, would you take it?

i wouldn't say you're different if you hate it so much. but you're definitely some kind of hope that's left in this country when speaking of malaysian men, if you know what i mean.

besides, i think you're weird. and chicks dig that ;P

Sometimes you can't run away from the things that have been, the things that you have become.

Embrace what you have and what you are.

We all love you, as abstract as you are.

did u hear about the girl who played football, fell down headfirst, and lost all her memories? she's suffering from a permanent amnesia and she didn't remember ANYTHING except reading, writing and the English language. She forgot who her parents were.

Do u know how hard it is for her?

Hmm... I wished I could erase some memories, but not all of my past. that's crazy. heh
