![imnormgoh's tweet photo. [Reflections] Not getting into Universiti Malaya is not the end of the world. It has always been competitive, even back in 2006 when I completed my STPM.
This is a long post, please be patient with me.
I did not manage a perfect CGPA of 4.00, but I was satisfied with 3.42.
•General Paper (Pengajian Am): A
•Biology: B+
•Chemistry: B+
•Pure Mathematics: B
In SPM 2004, I scored 10As (7A1, 3A2). I applied for every major scholarship available at the time, yet received no reply. Why? Because I made mistakes in my applications and did not optimise my chances. Information was limited then, and I simply did not know better.
I was offered places at UNITEN and MMU for engineering, but I declined. My parents could not afford to support another child studying in West Malaysia while my brother was already in UPM. Form 6 and STPM became my only path, since I was not offered matriculation or foundation programmes.
At that time, I felt deeply disappointed. But looking back now, it was a valuable lesson.
After STPM, I applied more carefully, determined not to repeat the mistakes I made after SPM. With my CGPA, I had more choices and kept an open mind. Out of eight programme options, I was offered my preferred choice: Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Coincidentally, it was in my hometown, at the same university and programme where my mother worked as a clinical instructor. Sometimes, God arranges things in ways we cannot immediately understand.
I began my studies with a PTPTN loan, but later managed to secure a JPA scholarship after working hard to make the Dean’s List. That support carried me through all four years at UNIMAS, and it was truly a blessing.
I knew then that entering prestigious universities such as Universiti Sains Malaysia or Universiti Malaya as an undergraduate was unlikely. These institutions were highly competitive, as they still are today. Yet the journey I took brought me to where I am now. Since graduating from UNIMAS in 2011, I have no regrets. The experiences, challenges, and people I met shaped me into who I am today.
In Malay, we call this rezeki, or blessings from above. When one door closes, another will open, provided we are willing to create new paths and step forward ourselves.
There is a Malay proverb that stays with me:
“Ukur baju pada badan sendiri, hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.”
Knowing your own limits, being humble, and persevering with effort are all important. Life is not always fair and there will be discrimination and setbacks, but that should not stop us from seeking other options or creating our own opportunities.
In October 2021, I finally entered Universiti Malaya to pursue a Master’s in Public Policy, the university I had dreamed of since my undergraduate days. I graduated in 2022 while still working at the EU, 11 years after my bachelor’s in 2011.
Now, as I prepare for my next chapter, I remind myself of a phrase I learned from my Muslim friends: “Wallahu A’lam” — God knows best. But faith alone is not enough. We must put in effort, remain open to opportunities, and keep moving forward.
Looking back, every rejection, every closed door, and every disappointment turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Life is not about where you begin, but about the resilience and choices that carry you forward.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0biVkbacAAk1oE.jpg)

🚨🗣️𝗡𝗘𝗪: Thierry Henry on Mohamed Salah's comments: "I had problems with Wenger, with Guardiola… Have you ever heard me talk about it publicly? NEVER. I protected the club."
"When you play for a club, you must protect it at all costs. No matter what’s happening internally, you protect the club — your teammates, the manager, the staff."
"You can be angry, frustrated, disagree… but you don’t air dirty laundry in public, especially when the club is going through difficult moments."
"Instead, you wait, you sort things out internally, and then, if you want to leave or speak your mind, you do it at the right time."
"I understand the ego and Mo’s frustration... He scores 38 goals and ends up on the bench, but there comes a point where you must put the team before yourself.”
Has a post ever aged worse.
Amazing people didn't understand Diaz and Nunez value to the team.
They sacrificed themselves and did the running so Salah didn't have to.
Lot of people who comment on here don't understand the importance of balance in football 👍
Suárez misses are more satisfying to watch than Haaland’s tap-ins 😭
Billie pass baton to Awie.
Arne Slot on Hugo Ekitike:
“If he scored a goal by beating three players and scoring into the top corner, then maybe he could make it all about him. But if I scored a goal like he did, I’d be going over to Federico Chiesa to make it all about him with his run and assist.”

Zina is a trap. It steals your peace, destroys your barakah, and stains your soul. Shaytan beautifies it, but its end is humiliation. Respect yourself enough to walk away. Jahannam is real,The fire you see in this world is only a fraction of it. Don’t trade eternity for a few

How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the PL champions?
I’ve reached my limit in helping, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope it still eases your burden. Eat well and stay strong, my Indonesian friends 🥹 sending love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
A tearful Mo Salah the last player to leave the field as he stands in front of the Kop while the Jota song echoes around Anfield.
Cukup dengan renungi kata-kata Ibn Mas’ud ini:
“من جعل الهموم هماً واحداً همَّ آخرته، كفاه الله هم دنياه، ومن تشعبت به الهموم في أحوال الدنيا لم يبال الله في أي أوديتها هلك”
Maksudnya: “Sesiapa yang menjadikan segala kebimbangannya hanya satu iaitu kebimbangan terhadap akhiratnya, nescaya Allah akan mencukupkan urusan dunianya.
Dan sesiapa yang bercabang-cabang kebimbangannya pada urusan dunia, nescaya Allah tidak peduli di lembah mana pun dia binasa.”
Hilyah al-Awliya’ 1/136
@1Obefiend Pakcik yg pukul kepala dia dengan mister potato tu... you got my respect🤟 no matter what people say, this type of justice especially lepas tngok dia tarik baby tu mmg PADAN MUKAAA KENA LANYAK!
Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?
A guy wanted to adopt a cat, but he wouldn't leave his brother's side, so he had to take both of them.

Rúben Neves back in Portugal less than 24 hours after playing for Al-Hilal in Orlando to be a coffin bearer at the funeral of Diogo Jota and André Silva.
I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break. Team mates come and go but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go back. My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.
