Moments.

I was watching american idol finale just now,

and felt that Lee was lucky to be able to have what i call, moments.

Do you know, that feeling,

when the world stops and everyone is just focusing on you, being happy for you,

and after years even decades of waiting and working hard for something,

you just feel crazy satisfied,

and the most crucial part is when you actually feel proud of yourself, so much,

you do not feel like asking for more.

Moments like that we encounter in life are so rare, ( once or even none )

and i am not even talking about moments collectively as in like you are happy about your job over a period of time,

it is just that intense feeling that last not more than a night.

that out of your body kind of feeling.

when you just feel like shouting to the whole world, and cry your emotions out.

it is really so so so so rare,

i would really do anything just to have it.

For example, the SPM top achievers.

That moment when they look at all their straight A +++++++++, and after the two years of hard work,

that moment of gratefulness can be quite amazing, really.

And those kinds of moments are what students normally strive for, because that is the only thing they know how to do.

What if you are not a studious kind?

I wasn't and still am not a studious kind, and i can never understand math and science.

Which is exactly the point.

Day by day, I / we should search for areas where we can embrace those moments.

We all have different ways of reaching them, and hopefully we spend most of our time figuring it out.

That moment where victory lies within yourself. Endorphins - filled.

Moment like how Millie won the HELP Psychology Challenge which comes with a full scholarship.

Moment like when you finish your degree and attend your convocation or even better get like first class honours. That moment when you walk up the stage with your parents smiling at you, crowd cheering.

Moment like when Lee won American Idol.

Moment like when someone wins an Oscar, signaling that the wait is over.

Moment like when you win an Olympic gold medal.

Moment like when you get married.

Some might say getting a degree is a moment by itself, some might say getting a first class is a moment for them.

Some might say winning an Anugerah Industri Muzik award, some might say winning a grammy can only be considered as a moment.

It differs, yes.

But we should strive for better quality moments as we progress.

That security you get when you know you grasp that moment, which has that great of a power to make you smile a life time.

Hopefully i get multiple moments throughout my lifetime, and my third one, soon enough.
