Adapun, temanya pada hari ini ialah kekecewaan. "I feel disappointed by your action. I did not expect that coming from you" Dead silent. Tak pasti macam mana nak respond terhadap kenyataan macam tu. One thing for sure, he screwed up. Kata budak-budak baru nak up - terfaktab. "Yes, I am fully aware that you are disappointed. There is nothing else that I can do about it. I was planning to see you the next day but you were away for the whole week. So, that's the reason I am here the first thing in the morning. I can only say that in the future, I will not do the same mistake again and be more careful." Panjang. Tapi itulah sebenar-benarnya. "Nothing I ever do can erase that mistake I made. But give me the chance to redeem myself. Words - are the only thing I am able to give you. And a second chance - is the only thing you can give me to prove my sincerity." "Alright, we're good." Aik, macam tu je? Kecewa aku kerana satu ...

Sejak kebelakangan ni, aku dah rajin membaca buku-buku yang baru aku nak baca setelah lama terbeli. Terbelinya buku-buku tu, adapun sebab pada ketika dan saat itu, aku memang tertarik dan bersemangat nak baca. Tapi semangat tu, kebiasaannya umpama tahi, mula-mula panas, lama-lama dah sejuk. Itu bukan pokoknya. Pokoknya, aku berjaya melawan nafsu malas (sloth?) untuk membaca. Membaca. Pabila aku membaca, dan benar-benar membaca untuk aku dan bukan kerana A semata-mata, feelingnya, lain sikit. Seolah-olah aku cuba berempati dan berada di tempat penulis. Kalau ia sebuah cerita, cuba aku berada di latar tempat itu. Kalau ia sebuah pandangan penuh hujah-hujah, cuba aku fahami kewarasan dan isinya, bagaimana si penulis boleh sampai mencoretkan penulisan itu. Menarik amat. Yang paling menarik, apabila kau baca tulisan mereka yang sudah lama meninggalkan dunia ni. Seolah-olah, mereka masih bernyawa, berada di hadapan kau dan menjadi narrator, seperti Gordon Freeman dalam cerita-cerita...

I gotta say, I am not embarrassed to admit that I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I watched this video. source: Huffington Post Parenting done right. Apparently it was Children's Day so that explains the presents. I thought if it was a birthday celebration, surely there would be food. Anyway, that is not the point. The point is, this boy, after opening up the first present and reading the card, could still be brimming with happiness and joy even though he just received a wooden chopping board, instead of an iPad or a tablet. The shape of the board does look like it could be an iPad or tablet. But this lovely child appreciates it as it is a gift from his parents. Then comes the second present, I was already choking with tears, seeing the boy glowing with happiness after seeing that box in the shoebox...and burst into tears, feeling grateful for the unexpected, pleasant surprise...pleasant seems to be an understatement, I reckon welcoming is more like it. TT____TT ...

Ye, saudara-saudara, saudari-saudari sekalian. Ada pun "complement" ini tiada menyerupai "compliment", walau bunyi sama. "Sounds like me but it's not me," kata si Complement. "Well, sure sounds like me but maybe it is also not me," balasnya Compliment. *Garu kepala* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bangun Subuh. Baca buku, online news, artikel, Quran, kadang-kadang. Lepas tu, ke dapur, masak breakfast. Breakfastnya bukan tipikal masyarakat Malaysia yang dah mendapat kedudukan no.1 dalam Asia Tenggara....sebagai negara paling obes, hehehe. Cereal + Low fat milk + Pisang atau Telur 2 biji, roti whole wheat. Yeahh, gaya hidup ideal. Lepas makan, rehat-rehat tengok TV. Basuh pinggan mangkuk kuali sudu sudip. Bersihkan dapur. Sampah penuh? Tak, ok let it be. Ya, pergi buang. Sapu-sapu sikit. Hmm ok aa. Buka freezer, tengok stok. Ok, tak perlu dah na...

Lucy. They used Scarlett Johansson well to attract the audience but I am not sure if anyone can really appreciate the movie for its content (albeit ridiculous most of the times but plausible...) and not for Scarlett and Morgan Freeman. ................................... I have always thought that when you see things differently now, than you did some time ago, be it few days, weeks, months, or years ago, that you have gained a newfound wisdom. I am talking about wisdom but in Lucy it is all about brain capacity, the cerebral capacity to be exact. But in Lucy, as she is depicted to have access to more than 10% capacity, Lucy seems to be nonchalant about trivial things. Things like, auditioning, having pointless fun, and pleasure.She seeks for more, to explore more of the unknown. It's like a thirst that can never be quenched, instead make you feel thirstier. That, I see as wisdom as well. Even though some people may argue that having more wisdom makes someone more modest or ev...

celaru rasa. walau aku sedar semua ni dah diaturkan oleh Tuhan, aku tetap rasa celaru, kasihan. Salah ke rasa macam ni? celaru aku, ikut bahasa Inggeris aku, mixed emotions. Aku tak rasa keyakinan aku goyah. Apa yang buat aku rasa begini mungkin kerana aku ada banyak persoalan tak terjawab..atau pon dijawab. rasa macam masa aku kecil, comel bulat dulu-dulu. curiosity aku yang diterjemahkan ke dalam soalan-soalan yang tak pernah putus.  cerita yang geli hati dari masa lepas. aku asyik ikut Wan di kampung, bertanya  "Wan buat apa tu?"  "Kenapa Wan buat macam tu?" "Ada harimau ke kat kampung?" mengikut ceritanya dari mulut ayah aku. mustahil aku boleh ingat semua itu. apa yang berlaku tahun lepas pun samar-samar. mungkin, aku bukan celaru, sebab banyak persoalan tak terjawab. mungkin, aku berasa marah dengan diri aku yang takut. Atau aku menyesal.  Tapi sesal aku ini, (kalau betullah rasa ini rasa menyesal) setidak-tidaknya tidaklah t...

Expressing myself in poetry, not really my forte. But reading this piece I made few months after my first heart break is kinda funny. Maybe because I am so not used to writing poem and I am not that articulate and expressive. Be the judge, fellow readers of this blog. ................................................................................................................................................................... Aku kira kamu tidak layak, Untuk melayan aku begini, Kerana kamu telah bersalah pada aku, Mana mungkin mereka yang bersalah bisa berlaku begini, Kalau kerana tiada rasa sesal, Aku kira kamu tidak layak, Untuk bergembira, Meneruskan hidup, Seolah-olah tiada jiwa terkorban, Tiada hati terobek hancur, Seolah-olah aku yang bersalah kerana masih di sini, Sedangkan aku di sini kerana janji. Aku kira kamu tidak layak, Untuk ketemu jodohmu, Kerana akhirannya, Kamu tetap akan mensia-siakannya, Hatta sebaik malaikat, Sekacak Yusuf, Sekaya Daud,...
