Ni draf dari tahun lepas ni, 2018. Sedikit ironic sebab aku letak tajuk post tu macam tu. Screenshot bawah ni pon dari tahun lepas, kahkahkah. Tapi step no.1 tu memang betul. Kenapa ko start blog? Your WHY. Kalau bahasa kita, nawaitu, niat memulakan blog. Sebenarnya, dalam apa benda/perkara yang kita buat, pastinya bersertakan niat. Kadang-kadang orang akan kata, "aku buat ni saja-saja, takde sebab/tujuan pon". Kalau ko tanya aku, "saja-saja, takde sebab", tu semua hanyalah smokescreen untuk niat sebenar ko. YOUR BIG WHY. Boleh jadi ko buat sesuatu tanpa niat, saja-saja, sebab ko nak lari daripada benda lain yang ko tak suka/tak nak buat. Jadi sebab tu, mungkin. If you were to ask me now, what is my why to blog again, I think I would fall into the said category. Aku nak escape from my not-so-likeable career. Hahaha sounds like a whiny, fussy man pulak... Tapi itu lah, aku rasa aku dah tak punya persistence, resilience untuk kerja. Lumayan, ya, tapi macam ...

Sepanjang tahun 2018 langsung takde satu post. Wow! That's a new record set by yours truly. Banyak benda boleh berlaku dalam masa satu tahun. Dan banyak benda juga yang dah berlaku dalam jangka masa tu. Summary nye, perubahan kerjaya , tahun melawat Indonesia , dan new bundle of joy  (<----Ini emoji smiley, aku buat post ni pakai Blogger app) Kenapa kali ni tergerak nak blog balik? Sebenarnya, dari tahun 2017 tu aku nak meneruskan kelangsungan hidup blog ni..cuma, banyak alasan aku bagi dan jadilah apa yang dah terjadi sekarang blog yang dah lebih setahun tak di-update. Bersawang, dah jadi sarang angkut-angkut dah. Inilah sarang angkut-angkut. Blog kali ni more to syok sendiri mungkin, sebab aku rasa aku dah takde pembaca yang mengikuti perkembangan blog ni. Silap-silap, blog aku dah kena removed daripada list pembaca-pembaca lama aku. Mungkin kalau takde pressure untuk blog, aku akan lebih rajin ke sini. Siapa tahu?

My apologies for this long silence. Been busy with things that just happened to fall into place. Hahahaha apadiaaaa By the way, I should have been on a flight to Kota Kinabalu, right about now, with my other friends for our Gunung Kinabalu climb. But guess what, I failed to bring myself to tell them that I cannot make it due to work and personal issues. Well, let's just say, my limited Annual Leaves plus my wedding 2 weeks ago made it not possible for me to be away for another 4 more working days. Eh, what? My wedding? They see me spinning, they hating Yeah, yours truly here is married alhamdulillah! It's a long story, one that I may pen down for another time, another post. So, back to my Kinabalu trip. I have been like an ostrich so far when it comes to dealing with problems and believe me, it is not healthy. Why ostrich, you ask? Ostrich has this habit of burying its head in the ground, believing that since it cannot see the threats coming, the threats will no...

"Bashful, yet bold." "Apa dia?" "Japanese girl." "Damn I didn't know you knew one.' "Heh. Ada la. Not your typical Japanese girl though.." It went silent again. Glued to their phones. Same routine for Nathan and Brooke. "So, you know I dig person/things that don't fit the stereotype." "Oh, are we still talking about that Japanese girl?" "Hahaha kinda. Anyway, she's tall and lanky for a Japanese." "Is she a model, then? Since she's blessed with height?" "Naah, according to her anyway. But I like that modesty in her." "Hahaha, like what, one of the Malays sayings? Ikut resmi padi, makin berisi makin tunduk?" "Damn, you've made remarkable improvement. Powerr. But are you saying she's fat, mate?" And the two Mat Sallehs stop hanging out after that. -The End- PS: The Japanese girl isn't fat. She's small built depsite her tower...

As I typed that "2016" as the title for this blog post, it reminds me of one of my favourite movies (don't judge please LOL) "2012", the end-of-the-world movie starring John Cusack and some other notable actors whom I can't just recall their names. Anyway, it's been a great year I think, and I couldn't thank Him enough for all the things he has blessed me with. My bad, scratch that off, for everything he has been blessing me with. And I look forward to 2017. Man, 3 series dah! Maybe before I sign off (gotta sleep early to catch Liverpool vs Manchester City with JB Liverpool gang) I'd like to touch on one or two things. I just can't help but feel a bit, disturbed, by the reactions shared on Facebook because of the passing of a number of famous celebrities. Sure, I too was sad upon learning the latest news of the Carrie Fisher's death. It is just that, I think it is an exaggeration to claim 2016 is the worst year ever, and how 2016 ju...

"He's here, right in front of you, silly!" "Yep, I still have that feeling. But of course I gotta lie when you asked me that, dummy!" "Isshhh..comel natang ni...Damn, what did she just ask me?"  I mean this kind of Crush. =P "LOL of course I couldn't guess the song you played just now. I was lost looking at your eyes..." "Okay, this happens too often, I gotta focus and listen to what she's saying. Can't...get...lost...again staring at her eyes...okay I give up." "Were you talking about me just now? Oh, conceited much Danny?" "Of course I remember everything you told me, I may be caught daydreaming when you talk but all them words are registered in my memory. I got a huge memory castle designated for you only. LOL" Other versions coming soon -  Family's, Bruh's, Work's. Hahahaha

"Ini satu kisah. Serigala dan biri-biri. Mereka tinggal bersebelahan, dipisahkan oleh pagar. Serigala selama ini tidak pula ambil kisah akan biri-biri...sehinggalah pada suatu hari...lagipun, bukankah semua cerita kanak-kanak bermula dengan, "Pada suatu hari"? Serigala baru tersedar akan biri-biri di sebelah kawasannya. Serigala senang sekali berkawan dengan biri-biri. Tapi serigala tertanya-tanya, adakah biri-biri senang sekali mempunyai teman seperti serigala? Lagipun, bolehkah mereka berkawan rapat? Hari demi hari, serigala cuba untuk menyeberang masuk kawasan biri-biri. Pagar dirobohkan setiap kali dia seberang. Mungkin takut, mungkin terkejut, mungkin juga tidak mempunyai rasa serupa seperti serigala, biri-biri menolak baik pelawaan serigala setiap kali serigala datang. Serigala pun sedar, biri-biri tidak boleh dipaksa dan serigala tidak pula berniat untuk menjadikan biri-biri makanannya, hanya sekadar teman rapat. Jadi, selepas setiap kali ditolak serigala ak...
