I have experienced the loss of my loved ones. But not an immediate family member (at least not yet). And by losd,I am talking about the passing of someone, deaths. Kematian. Kalau break up tu bukan loss. (Because it is not my loss) Anyway..my maternal grandma whom I fondly called Tok passed away last year and it was heartbreaking, and more frustrating at the time because I could not make it in time to see her one last time before she was buried. Earlier that year in May, I lost my Pak Long who suddenly slipped into a coma for 2 weeks I think..before he passed on. Perasaan bila dua jasad ni dah tiada, biarpun bukan "immediate family" terasa aneh. Kadang-kadang sedih. Still life goes on. And this morning, I was shocked to find out, "the friend of my friend" in my friend's tweet, who is actually my friend too, has lost his pregnant wife and their 6 months old baby in womb..it was a pregnancy death. I uttered "Innalillahiwainnalillahirojiun" but I am...

Adapun if only ini memang perkataan yang sungguh magis bagiku. If only translated to BM is hanya jika. Which subsequently will remind me of a lesson in math back in high school. "Jika dan hanya jika..." It's magical really. Magical in a sense that saying these 2 words is capable to take you away to possible alternative ending of an event. An escape from reality where everything has already taken place. If only I knew back then. If only. nothing to do with this movie. but hey, there's jennifer love hewitt there, so will look for it later. 

Apa itu 'men-ca-pub', a term that I suddenly remember from my student years. Mencari publisiti. So, I had this conversation with my long lost high school buddy, Adib. (untuk mengelakkan salah faham antara Adib adik aku dan Adib kawan aku ni, let's call Adib kawan aku ni Adib B, as per my homemate's request) Adib B and I talked a lot lately. Mostly all the mind opening, mind boggling stuffs. Then this one night, I dunno how we end up talking about a friend who is really active on social media. Still. I mean, we both find it is time to slow down or just stop posting personal stuff like pictures on social media. "Aku dah lama doh dok post mende2 kat facebook" aku cuba menjelaskan kepada Adib B dengan aku punya half-baked loghat Terengganu. "Aku pong, stail malah gitu. Tapi ramai lagi member kite hok, guane nok kabo.." "masih lagi mencapub?" sampuk aku ketika Adib B dalam proses memikir untuk melengkapkan ayatnya. "Owohh, gitu sekal...

I gotta say, it was a brief yet significant learning experience having had launched another new blog, danial-mencapub.blogspot.com. I know, it is such a lame name to come up with. I thought I had thoroughly planned this new blog to make a comeback but I guess, I fell short. Nevertheless, I learned something. Like I mentioned in my other post, "sometimes you win, sometimes you learn" and this new blog, danial-mencapub.blogspot.com has taught me a lot. It is never easy to start over something new. To build something new to replace the old one. And yes, I am still talking about blog and not about relationship. LOL =P With the new blog, it is mainly because I did not do enough blogwalking to promote it and I am feeling a little under the weather lately. Yeah, my new blog. Hah! But now, I got some time and I thought I should just make use of this opportunity I have to blog. I don't think I need to start a new blog. I could just make another comeback, like how I used ...
