Racial Harmony

Now, I would like to say that racial harmony is also shared among Malaysians where the main ethnicities, Chinese, Malays and Indians live together, work together, share businesses, live next to each other and some get married and have mixed kids :) . Apart from that, the best thing about people in Malaysia is that on special occasions, main festivities such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri which is celebrated by muslims(of majority are Malays), Chinese New Year which is celebrated by the Buddhist Chinese and Deepavali which is celebrated by Indians are all celebrated together. On Hari Raya, the Malays would invite everyone to come to their 'open house' on which they will be serving Malaysian delicacies and will welcome everyone with open arms and great hospitality to their homes. Friends and family who are of different race celebrate together on that happy day to chit chat and share their thoughts and experiences and all of them would enjoy themselves not thinking about their color,religion or even ethnicity. This is what i call harmony among races. Moreover, on Chinese New Year, the similar activities stated before would take place, the difference is the food, which mainly traditional chinese foods are served and the decorations. Some procedures would be different but whats most important is the racial harmony share among Malaysian's as we live together under one big roof, which we call home.

College Life

Have you ever wondered what college life is really like? Or how people have different perspectives on how its like? Well, to me, college is the experience that mostly everyone will encounter in the later stages of their teen years. College is something like an institution where you continue your journey of studying and to also equip yourself with essential skills for the working world of today. Basically people always stereotypically think that college is just a place where you pursue your studies, make friends, get your good grades and then leave to fly away some place distant. Thats not so interesting isn't it? What I've came across during college is pretty interesting, its not just about going there to study but to also meet new people, learn from others, have a party or two, experience the reality of teamwork and also relationships among students and lecturers. The fact remains that obviously you have to study hard to make sure you're in the game. But for me, I'll state that if you study hard, play harder. Furthermore, the connections you make with people in college can be of use for the future, in which you would work with them or maybe buy a share or two together. They can either be together with you, or against you, so you better patch things up with people who you have issues with, just to make sure. Apart from that, you have an equal balance of work and play in college. It is important on how you have to be serious in you studies, but at the same time, you enjoy yourself. Aided with the fact that it is a relaxed environment and you have friends to share it with. Moreover, people you meet in college are not just local students, but also people from other countries and different ethnicities. You get to learn from them a lot about the world, their experiences and also the cultural elements of their homeland. Whatever the situation or environment, everyone will experience different things and different people in college. Everyone should have good experiences in college, so have fun, but don't go overboard.
