Ramadhan Moon..I Welcome You With Open Arms

I love this month of inner peace and reflection. I'm not sure whether I can really fast during this month but I'll definitely try. I'm sure it will not jeopardise the baby if I do.

Happy Ramadhan to all my fellow Muslims. Let's double our efforts to be a better person and to seek a better life for ourselves and our families. Please don't use the blessed month as an excuse to slacken the pace. We're much better than that, aren't we?





Ramadan Moon

Oh the people are coming and going
Getting ready to-ing and fro-ing
There's a buzz in the world tonight
People are so excited
Daddy's coming home soon
Hoping to see the moon
Hoping to catch a sight
Everyone's so happy

Moon, moon, come out soon
We're out to see the Ramadan moon
Clouds shift, fog lift
City put out your lights
We want to see the Ramadan moon - tonight

Now Ramadan has started
And the moon has been just sighted
Tomorrow we all fast
Every Muslim must
Now Esha time is here
And it's time to leave for prayer
The Imam is in the Mosque
The Quran is in his heart

From the early break of dawn
We'll go the whole day long
Shops are full of dates
But still we have to wait
Till the sun goes down
And it's time to break our siyyam
The food is on the plate
Ooh! It tastes so good

Now Grandad in i'tiqaf
Only ten days are left
He's praying every night
Dressed all in white
Hands held high
With tears in his eyes
Asking for forgiveness
And Paradise

Now it's time again for Eid
Ramadan ran with speed
Will it come again?
Like an old friend?

Ramadan Moon

Simpan sahaja dendam itu, sahabat lepat...

Prasangka dan salah sangka. Buatkan sesetengah orang gembira.

Kalau dah rasa diri sendiri saja yang benar, tak guna bercampur gaul dengan orang lain kerana orang lain semua kurang bagus.

Erm..minggu ni ada 3 kali rasa nak smackdown orang yang diam-diam ubi rupanya menyimpan dendam tak sudah. Buat selingan hiburan sendiri aje ini orang.

Anwar dah boleh jadi PM ke? Eh minyak dah turun eh? Hahhah..harga barang-barang pun turun gak ke? Gaji naik 200%??? Kita kayo!! Hoi kayu! Kau buta kayu!

The Things You Want To Do Before You Hit The Bucket..

Carter Chambers and Edward Cole managed to do the things listed in their Bucket List before cancer claimed their lives. I watched this movie twice and there might be a third, fourth, fifth and so on. Do we still have time?


The movie is highly recommended, especially to those who feel life has nothing more to offer them..Listen, learn and follow...





Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to saaaay...

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead

If you could only
Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to saaay...

Have no fear
For giving in
Have no fear
For giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open... wide...

Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to
Say what you need to
Say what you need to say..

If You're Happy And You Know It...

Are you happy? Hehhehe. All the best to you.

We Were Bangsarians

For the past week I've been receiving updates from my Sekolah Menengah Bangsar mates. I only spent three years there, but I've known most of them since my primary years.

Let me tell you something about me back then. I wasn't popular, but people know me because I was this ridiculously strict Head Prefect. I'm not proud of myself back then. I thought being 'garang' was a good way to earn respect. Well it was not the way and it is still not the way.

So by virtue of being a Head Prefect who was trying too hard, many of the mates know me. Me being me, (I have difficulty in remembering names and faces), can't recognise many of them now. But I'm elated that these friends are so ever ready to welcome me back into their fold.

I left the school after From 3, and when there's a gathering of some sort, I always feel I don't belong. I wasn't friendly to start with, and leaving the school after three years didn't help either. Because of that, I feel the need to start over, getting reacquainted with these childhood friends.

I may not have many memories to reminisce with all of them, but I do hope that they are willing to forge new ones, despite our busy schedules, so that we can reminisce them with our generation in the years to come.

For these special friends, I thank you.


p/s After seeing this photo, Amir asked this "Kenapa you mcm tak suka life?". It was scorching hot la..that's why I made that face.

Bagan The Lalang

After many moons, we visited mak and ayah at Bagan Lalang on Tuesday. After the Nilai toll, I could see many new buildings, in various phases of developments, which bodes well for the little town (pretty soon it won't be little anymore).

When we reached Sungai Pelek, I was actually amazed to see a KFC outlet there, hehhee. Wohooo, finally Sungai Pelek is not so 'pelek' anymore. We have more shops and buildings there, we even have a slimming centre, for folks who are concern about their bulging bellies and enormous thighs.

IdaMan (the name ayah gave to the house) looks different too. This is to be expected for he is a man with so many ideas and who can't sit still even for a second. When we arrived he was soaked with sweat since he had been working the porch since morning. It's a great relief to see my parents' faces, all healthy and well. (Did you know that looking at your parents' faces grants you a pahala? I only know about this recently.)

We had a wonderful lunch together, though eating only simple dish of sambal ikan, sup sawi, tempoyak, timun and kerang rebus. Mom's cooking is always number one! Hehhe..the good taste lingers even after hours you ate.

I'll be spending my confinement period in Bagan Lalang, hope that mak will not be so strict on the food. Otherwise, matilah aku!

I Feel Fine

Friends wonder how I can be so active close to my delivery period. I can still run around from morning till late night, without feeling too exhausted. All I can say is, I feel fine. The baby's fine and actively kicking most of the time. I eat like nobody's business. I can proudly say I am no longer 'allergic' to milk. Now I can take milk (with no flavour), but of course only the HL brand.
Alhamdulillah, I am bestowed with this energy.

One factor I can say contribute to this active energy is the aromatherapy product that I am using. I have been using it for the past year and I do feel great. I put it on every day, without fail. Apart from making me more energetic, the house, the car and the office (oppss no more office) smell extra nice.

The most important thing, in my opinion, is not to give excuses to your self. Your mind is a powerful tool. If you think you are weak, then weak you are. Likewise, when you think nothing can stop you from conquering the world (okay you can be more realistic and specific than this), then conquer the world you will.

Don't waste your thoughts on 'kalau tak boleh?...". Think about 'Memang boleh' and everything will come into place. Try it. No I say, try it, NOT analyse it. We've done to much analysing anyway but that hasn't bring us any closer to what we want kan? So, another approach is JUST DO IT.

Ever wonder why Nike is the most recognised brand in the world?
