Danial Jaafar 🇲🇾

I was at the hospital waiting. Nothing unusual with that. It comes with the job. Heh. Anyway, yeah, I was waiting with the other patients. The people I see there don't usually have happy faces on so it makes me like a fool to be smiling at them most of the time. I thought I was being polite and friendly but in hindsight I think it could come off downright rude and offensive. Imagine you just had both of your legs amputated. Still young, many things to discover and learn in this world and puff! no more legs. Just as you were trying to come to term with your loss, suddenly this schmuck looking at you and gave you a smile. Not just any smile but one that says "Hey, it's such a great day huh, to be out in the sun, under the blue sky and just enjoy the day." I am not saying it is wrong to smile with such meaning behind it but I can just imagine the mental exhaustion having to cope with a new situation.  "I just lost both legs and you asking me to enjoy the day...

Heyyooo~ long time no blogging. As cliche as it sounds, yeah was tied up with lotsa stuff. In case I must tell you and you must know, my bro Adib got married to his high school sweetheart in March and now that we are done with the reception on our side as well which was held end of April, all of us finally got the time to take a breather. Yeah, that would be nice. Blogging. Been itching to blog because everyday I go on the net, surfing, reading and joining the forums, I always got this amazing ideas to blog about. So, I got all hyped up, go to blogger, logged in, all set...and I just stared right at the screen. But if has finally come to an end tonight. Yep, tonight gotta start blogging again because I sure know someone misses it LOL Things are pretty good on my side. Just so you know, I am probably gonna start experiencing some good changes in my life (of course there will be some bad consequences but the changes about to happen are worth it) . You know how there's a saying th...

It's been a while. hehehehe. Bukannya tak nak update blog tapi lebih kepada kesempatan yang tiada. Macam sibuklah sangat. Adapun hari-hari aku punya otak ligat memikir,menghadam, memproses dan akhir sekali, memeram hasil pemikiran tu. Tapi fikir tanpa ada hasil tindakan tu sesungguhnya merugikan diri. Ni auto-post ni. Ketika aku tengah menaip kata-kata yang ditaip ini, aku terfikir kenapa seseorang yang dianggap normal luarannya, dianggap normal dalamannya? Sorry, I think I should rephrase that. Seseorang yang luarannya nampak sama dengan kebanyakan orang, dianggap dalamnya pun sama. Hatinya sama, perasaannya sama, fikirannya pun sama. Sebab, bila ada orang yang luarannya sama dengan kita (by sama I mean to say pakai baju elok-elok lengkap takde cacat cela, mungkin tak selawa atau sehuduh kita) menghasilkan perbuatan yang tidak sama seperti kita dan jangkaan kita, kita mudah cepat untuk bertindakbalas seperti daun semalu yang terus menguncup pabila disentuh, atau mungkin sepert...

Gaya penulisan biasa-biasa je. Mungkin, kurang daripada biasa. Cuma bila menulis rasa syok sendiri. Hahahaha. Stail aku blogging sekarang ni macam awal-awal bulan je. Sebenarnya, banyak idea, ilham dan perkongsian cerita, bahan menerjah ruang otak aku. Cuma aku tak tahu patutkah aku lepaskan segalanya dalam alam maya ini atau menapis. Pada masa tu, aku pilih tapis. Hasilnya, takde post sampai ke la (loghat utagha in case kalian tak tahu) Bila difikirkan balik, ada baiknya aku tapis bahan-bahan dalam kepala aku ni. Setidaknya aku takkan menyesal bila tersalah. Tapi aku fikirkan, kalau tak buat salah, sampai bila aku tak belajar. Dari kesalahan kita belajar. Cuma, seperti pesan Dr.Tan bekas majikan dulu, "Don't make the same mistake twice." Bunyi simple. Ringkas. Pandang enteng barangkali. Tapi hat tu lah yang selalu orang lupa. Anyway, anyway. Berbalik cerita asal. Ye, tapis untuk tidak melakukan kesalahan. Aku rasa menyesal tak buat sesuatu adalah lebih celaka...

I had a bad habit. Well, I guess I still do, so I have a bad habit. This is my confession. Not just one. This time I want to confess to only one bad habit though. I do not finish the book I read. Yep. I love reading, really. Though when I was in primary school I read mostly comics and the only books I read were the young detectives series and text books, revision books. Now that I think about it, this bad habit must have started back then. Back when I was into comics and the detective series. All the excitements built up throughout the entire reading suddenly had, must come to an end. Is this guy blogging here, really talking about books? LOL For few years I was not into reading books other than text books LOL but last year I started picking up the reading habit. The books I read are mostly sales and marketing related, self helps and some psychological, historical ones. It has been really fun really. I remember this one the most "How to Win Friends and Influence People...

Semalam aku nak lelap mata tidur. Tengah dalam awang-awangan timbul rasa nak mencuba kembali benda yang selalu aku buat dulu kala. Aku nak tidur gaya jenazah. Tangannya letak di mana, kaki rapat-rapat. Baring bukan mengiring. Aku baring biasa seperti jenazah dibaringkan atas lantai masjid sebelum solat jenazah. Dah buat semua, tutup mata. Tiba-tiba teringat banyak dosa semasa hayat. Takut, takut. Baru tersedar macam baru lepas kena lempang dengan cikgu dulu (tipu, aku tak pernah kena lempang sama cikgu). Dosa bertimbun, tapi yang paling aku teringat - hutang. Hutang budi, hutang duit, hutang hutang. Kebetulan aku ada terbaca artikel seorang ustaz pasal hutang. Aku pun ada baca pasal pembahagian harta pusaka sebab isu ni memang 'point' terbaik aku bila jumpa client pasal Takaful. Okay, berbalik semula kepada hutang. Ye, hutang. This is called Vision Board. I have one from last year. I need to make a new one because some things have left me. =) credit to Utoria for the pict...

Mode: Melayan perasaan. (Jangaaaaan!!!) Just saw the ex's tweets. Yeah, we are still following each other on Twitter, and friends on Facebook. I really think that is not a wise thing to do but sometimes I just wanna know how she's doing LOL snooping around like a creep (OMG I just confessed to being a freak) Why do I think it's not wise, is because for sometimes she would post something about her parents pushing her to find a bf, someone new. Just now, I just got to see the tweets where her parents wanna teach her how to pikat lelaki XD. All jokes aside, terasa sungguh hati. Hahahaha, it's understandable that I am feeling this way after 1 or 2 months breaking up but it's been 7 months already. The fact that she can just tweet about it macam tu je makes me feel so insignificant gitu. Tapi itu cuma perasaan aku je. I just got back from futsal and feeling tired, all beat so maybe that's why I feel like this. Maybe, probably, kot. Hahahaha... Danial, be stron...

Anthony Robbins Anthony Robbins, I think some people know him because of his fire walk exercise. Anyway, the man is really outstanding, positive minded. I thought it would do good to share some of his quotes, or sharing of idea to improve oneself. Instead of mopping and weeping (that's gotta be me LOLOL) might as well think of the positive things. Hopefully by doing this I can reaffirm myself to see things positively and be more of a positive kinda guy. Yeah, that's Oprah!XD Besides Anthony Robbins, there are Zuhairi Nopiah, Amin Idris, the famous Dato' Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah, Dale Carnegie, Maxwell, and many more. So, I have decided to share some of their works here. It would be better to have their books, you get to read it at your own pace. But for us Muslims, the Al-Quran itself is one amazing miracle. We can benefit a lot from reading and learning it. =) Anyway this is my first sharing from Anthony Robbins. Have a good Sunday people, and you too Danial....

Woke up early this morning. But as usual I always miss the timing for jama'ah. At least nowadays I find myself doing different things from last month. "If you do the same thing every time and expect a different result, that is crazy"-well, something along that line yeah, quoted from...Albert Einstein? Tolong betulkan ye kalau salah~ =P Well, I am going to hit the gym later before heading off to work, which is nowadays meeting as many people as I can to create the awareness about financial planning. And also Prudential BSN Takaful. LOL I know I've been gettting a lot of "macam mana budak Biotek, Monash boleh end up buat insurans ni?" It's a long story really and I plan to start blogging about the transition, as well as all the things that happened in the past months. Not like I am still living in the past. I pretty much have moved on, tapi kan, a friend of mine in my agency said, something like this-"hidup ni macam memandu kereta, kadang2 kita kena...

Greetings, earthlings! I have decided to start blogging. One should never underestimate the power of decision (tiba-tiba). So, for this comeback I am making, I think I should blog in Bahasa and English. And any other languages I know jks =P Before I was kinda strict on this, can only blog in either English or Bahasa but just nak tukar selera. Yesss! That was the first! Anyway, many things happened the past few months since my last post here. To start off, 1. I am no longer planning to get married because I got no calon. Wakakaka, no I am not laughing just tiru my housemate punya stail gelak. 2. I am now a full time Prudential financial planner. It's been 2 months already. Yeah, I guess these two news are pretty much DA BOMB punya news la. I think. Oh, and I am getting bigger LOL but that won't be for long. ;) Man, it sure feels great to be blogging now that I have started. Hopefully I get to blog more in the future. But I know it's gonna be a bit tough because now ...

No thanks to all the worrying stuffs going on in my life. But hey that's what I call living. No problems in life equals to not living life at all. Well, to me at least.  Anyway, what's for dinner guys? Imma start my first entry of the month with the pictures of my dinner just now. Nothing grandiose or luxury or mouthwatering, just this~ Preparing black pepper sauce Phone camera getting dodgy-er. *hint hint* So I had chicken in black pepper sauce for dinner today. Well, was craving for one especially the one made by the gf last time when we were in Gippsland. Ah~good old days. At the moment I am craving my mom's vegetable soup. I don't know, my version of vege soup is not the same as my mom's so I guess I will give her a call tomorrow after work.  Work? Oh don't talk about it. Hahaha it's all good but not always but like I've said it's all good. Oh, and my boss is posting up another job ads - one as a Production Executive and another as a P...

Sounds kinda like Sex And The City, yeah? Hahaha. Well, it's been almost 4 months here, and I think I'm pretty much used to the life here. Though I keep on comparing this place with Kerteh, then, with Melbourne, Gippsland. Yeah, it's always been the case of the grass is greener on the other side. Last time when I was still in Gippy, the gf was like, "I miss playing badminton at Kurnai Hall, I miss cooking, I miss this and that" and I told her to be grateful that she got to be with her family back, at home. Now I'm the one that keeps looking at my old photos back when I was in uni and keep saying "Oh man, I wanna do that, this, get thinner like last time and all that stuffs". My very first encounter with a wallaby in the wild. Jungle trekking at the Morwell National Park in 2007 with Zoon and the Bricks. Like I said just now, the grass is always greener on the other side. Cross that, the grass was, is and will always be greener on the other si...

Salam and greetings. To all Muslims out there, I'm pretty sure you guys know that it's already 12 Rabiul Awal hence, the birthday of our prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Any plan tomorrow? I am planning to do something different, that I have never done before. I pray to God to make my journey tomorrow a smooth sailing one. =) On this day, it would be a good opportunity to reflect what have we done, contributed to Islam and the ummah. I speak to myself before I speak to others. Personally, I would love to increase my knowledge and understanding in Islam, the stories of the prophet and the companions, and many other things. With that said, I hope my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, wherever you are, regardless of your nationality, the language you speak, and your skin colour, to have a good day this 12 Rabiul Awal. =D

Finally! A stable, super fast internet connection! For your information, in case I forgot to mention in my previous posts I signed up for Unifi last month. And last Sunday, I got all the cables, modem, router, TV top box installed, only that there was one problem - I couldn't access the internet. Apparently there was a problem at the centre, so only a week after that day, which is today,that I got to use the internet! The wait is worth it really, I've never felt this happy, okay I'm lying, I have experienced much greater joy than this, just that there are too many of those moments. Oh, another reason why I should thank Allah for blessing my life and to remind myself that my life does not suck. With Unifi, no more buffering. Laju dowh! (Sam Bunkface 2010)  =P Nobody starts from the top. Nobody had it easy in the first try. So, don't whine, don't complain. Life is all about learning. If you think you have learned nothing all these time you've been alive, you...

"Oh and yeah, that's the hardest part, that's the hardest part" To me, the hardest part would be to start doing things. It could be a totally new thing. It could be things that we used to enjoy doing all the time. Now, the hardest thing to do is to start blogging again. I have the craving to blog but I didn't blog for almost a month, and that really in a way has dampened my momentum to blog. No thanks to the mobile broadband I'm using. It was beyond slow last time. Now a bit better, but not as good as the first two months I moved in here. Still, I thought what the heck, let's blog again. I miss my blog. I miss being here, in the online world. Where people, strangers mostly, are surprisingly supportive, and kind, and friendly. But I no longer have a place to let out all of my emotions. Hahaha, worry not, not being emo just missing the good old blog I once made private, which I deleted last year  =____= Kali pertamaku ke sekolah asrama. Nak menangis ...

Everyone wants to be happy. Some see possessing great amount of wealth is happiness at its greatest level. Some are even content with just being near the family. I'm not gonna blog about what makes me or the people around me happy today. Rather, I want to promote this blog, owned by this blogger friend of mine, the same blogger of Lukeyishandsome.com lol i know sounds vain, but he's one interesting guy. So that makes his blog interesting too. Now, he has this new blog - The Things I Am Happy About . So, maybe you guys can pay his new blog a visit, and maybe remind yourself, that sometimes, it's the little thing that you overlook that can make you happy. hehehehe

On Friday, two cleaners came to my workplace of course to clean up the place. I am not so clear on who or which cleaning company sent the cleaners who did the cleaning before but every week the cleaners won't be the same people. One thing for sure, most of them are non Malaysians. I'm pretty much okay with anyone as long as they are not causing any trouble to me. Well, it's not like the cleaners on Friday caused any trouble anyway. It's just that one of the cleaners, she looked very young. I didn't notice that at first until my two colleagues asked me to guess how old the girl might be. I had a look and she looked very very young. Apparently she's just 19. And guess what? She's from Cambodia and had very limited Malay, English vocabularies. My colleagues were like all laughing because they had to resort to sign language to communicate with the girls that it just got ridiculously funny. All jokes aside, I wonder how on earth did she get into Malaysia anyw...

KEBABBBOOOOMM!! The thunder sounds like as if the place is being bombed. For a sec, some people would be reminded of the unfortunates in Gaza, or in Africa, or in Afghanistan, Iraq. Btw, don't you think it's weird that Iraq is pronounced as Airaq? What the heck right? Anyway at time like his, anyone would be too scared to go out. Let alone the thought of committing a sin. Feels like it's so easy to get the punishment directly from the God himself. You know, sins like go out dating and ehem ehem, rob someone's house. KEBABBBOOOMM!!! Watch out people. We are all being watched. hehehehe

Funny how blogging works. Sometimes you just feel like the ideas overflowing, sometimes it's just d dead dry up there. Nothing at all. And it's funny too when you're trying really really hard to get the mood back on. The results would be something laughable like this do you know what is a microorganism? if you think microorganism is something that you can't see with your naked eyes, then, you are partially wrong Cakap pasal microorganism pulak dah!! When actually I was just trying to get a decent intro about public transport in Malaysia. =___= But when you got 'it' back, you can just let the fingers do all the work. Yeah really. That cool. You know what to do when you have a goal. If you don't have one, everything you type out just doesn't seem, feel and sound right. As I'm typing this down now, I know what I wanna talk about (meaning, the goal) and all ideas are just coming in right now. I love the feeling. The same goes with life. You've got a ...

You suck! I don't think that pointing fingers, putting the blames on others are the first things to do when some problems arise. You look for the cause of it, try to come out with corrective measures, some preventions as well. And of course you carry those things out. Execute! These are different than pointing fingers at others for the problems that happened. "Whose fault is this???" "Why on God's earth is this happening?" "It's because of this fella-lah~ always do things like that" "Old policy, never bother to change that's why" Then, after all that hoohaa and buzz in the media, ------- nothing is being done. If the form 4 students now are still using the same buku teks Sejarah that I used back then, you will find this quote from George Santayana - Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it hehehehehe
