Motivasi

"If you have barrier in your life and you know there is nothing within your own power to remove it, learn to live it without you being unhurt. If you can gain strength and learn to take advantage of it, you will find yourself being better and better, and even find 100 more ways in gaining advantage from the presence of 'that' disadvantage"

Fikirkan:

Separuh penuh atau separuh kosong?

Positif atau negatif?

P/s: Ya Allah, berikanlah aku ketabahan dan kekuatan. Kau jauhkanlah aku dari sifat malas dan berputus asa. Sesungguhnya itu semua akan merugikan diriku sendiri.

Luahan Hati

Dah nak habis hari dah minggu ni

Hari-hari awal yang ceria

Tapi last minit semua bertukar duka

Ntah la

Mungkin hormon tengah masuk fasa tak stabil

Tapi rasanya lebih kepada hati 'membengkak' pasal kes semalam

Perang saraf dah mula

'Blog, saya sedih... sedih sangat'

Bila melalui detik-detik perasaan beremosi macam ni

Seboleh mungkin saya tak nak jumpa orang

Nak duduk dalam bilik sendiri diam-diam

Bukan apa

Tak nak la orang yang tak bersalah rasa tempiasnya

Tak pasal-pasal kan

Bukan macam 'orang' tu tak abis2 nak mengungkit

Setakat mengungkit tu takpe

Ni tak

Siap boleh buruk sangka dan macam nak tuduh orang macam-macam

Padahal orang sket pun tak bercakap pasal dia

Ni yang susahnya kalo orang banyak sangat perasaan ni

Mudah sangat perasan

HUH!!! Sesungguhnya saya dah penat

Penat menghadapi kerenah orang yang macam ni

Ntah apa la yang dia nak sebenarnya

Ntah apa la yang tak puas hati sebenarnya

Saya sendiri pun tak faham

Bila nak diajak bersemuka tak nak

Bila terserempak nak buat-buat lari

Bila nak lari tak boleh

Saja kuatkan suara cakap ayat yang menyakitkan hati

Macam orang lain ni tak de hati dan perasaan

Ya Allah, geramnya saya

(Kau ampunkan la dosaku)

Bukan nak mengungkit

Tapi bila ingat balik memang sakit hati

Dulu masa zaman masih memerlukan khidmat kita

Nak kita tolong buat keje

Bukan main la bermanis muka

Cakap itu ini

Beri jaminan bagai nak rak

Tapi bila dah habis 'madu' kita disedutnya

Mula la nak cari pasal

Nak buat kita musuh

Kalo kita sorang je yang kena 'treat' macam tu

Memang la salah kita yang tak tau 'behave' diri kan

Tapi kalo dah setiap tempat dan setiap tahun

Lepas sorang

Sorang lagi dijadikan musuh, siapa yang bermasalah sebenarnya?

Fikir-fikirkan lah sendiri

Kalo tak kena kat batang hidung sendiri

Kita boleh la cakap sabar kat orang kan

Tapi kalo dah jadi macam ni

Bila sebelah mata pun tak dipandang

Sapa yang tak geram

Macam besar sangat dosa yang dibuat

Sedar la sket

Kita ni manusia

Manusia mana tak buat salah kan

So sebagai manusia cuba la belajar untuk memaafkan orang lain

Sebab diri awak sendri pun sangat la ada potensi untuk buat silap jugak

Bila dah jadi macam ni

Saya memang mengiyakan ayat Abah

"Kita tak boleh nak judge orang tu macam mana, melainkan kalo kita dah duduk dan keje dengan dia dalam keadaan sekeliling yang sama paling kurang setahun. Dalam jangka masa tu, memang semua sifat diri dia sama ada buruk ke baik akan terserlah."

Jadi jangan la dengan kita kenal dia sejam dua

Berborak dengan dia setengah jam

Berselisih dengan dia sekali dua sehari

Kita terus buat kesimpulan dia baik bila tersenyum

Dan dia ntah apa-apa kalo melayan kita sambil lewa

p/s: Nak cepat habis MSc dan cari enviroment baru. Jiwa tak kacau, hati tak sakit.

Bunga-bunga Cinta - Part II

Bunga-bunga Cinta-Quick update

"Makcik!!!

Selamat Bertunang

Tahniah la kat hang dan En. Ultraman

Alhamdulillah, segala perancangan dipermudahkan

Tak sabaq nak tunggu majlis hangpa berdua.

Hehehe...."

Ha!!! Entry kali ni semua berkisar

Tentang majlis sahabat baik saya ni

Yang selamat dah pun bertunang ahad lepas

Bertemakan pink-putih hantaran pihak perempuan

Berbalas dengan warna hijau dari sebelah keluarga Saifol

Memang panjang sungguh perjalanan saya hujung minggu lepas

Dari Kangar ke Taiping

Semata-mata untuk menghadiri majlis

Tapi takpe

Sebabnya saya tak mahu melepaskan peluang

Melihat detik-detik indah dan bermakna yang terjadi dalam hidup

Insan-insan yang saya sayang
I'm happy for both of them.

p/s: Lepas majlis umi, pecut ke Kampung Jana Sambungan untuk walimah kakak Power ranger hijau untuk sesi 'mengadap' kaum keluarga dan sanak saudara. Fuh!!!

Cite Kawin Sini Sana

Pengembaraan saya bermula pada hari sabtu seawal 4 pagi. Bersiap-sedia untuk ke LCCT pada pukul 5, sampai disana lebih kurang pukul 6. Check in then solat subuh trus masuk ke ruangan menunggu sebelum dibenarkan mengambil tempat di atas kapal terbang untuk ke Alor Setar. Tengahari 31 hb yang lepas kami ke Jitra menghadiri walimah ex-coursemate, Hanim & pasangannya Ashraf yang juga merupakan kawan Power ranger hijau semasa di KMM. Tahniah kepada pasangan mempelai dan selamat menempuh alam berumahtangga.

Kalau ke utara tidak makan laksa, rugi sangat la namanya. Jadinya kami berempat (saya, Zimah, Amie dan Su) pun pi pekena laksa kat Fatin Corner di bandar Kangar. Ha!! Terliur tak tengok laksa dan cendol pulut ni??? Sodap seh. Memang pekat, lemak berkrim dan disukai ramai. Penuh giler orang kat kedai ni.

Lepas makan-makan sebelum mereka semua menghantar saya ke stesen bas untuk pulang ke Taiping pada pukul 8 malam, kami pusing-pusing bandar Kangar dan sempat la beraksi gedik santai merakamkan gambar. Kalau tak salah saya, tempat letaknya bangunan ni lebih dikenali sebagai mini Putrajaya. Rasanya bangunan ni pun bangunan pentadbiran negeri Perlis. Seberang jalan berhadapan dengan bangunan ni merupakan rumah seorang personaliti TV3. Besar gila rumah!!! Kaya-kaya orang Perlis ni gamaknya.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tahniah juga kepada Fahrul Asmady dan isteri yang telah bernikah pada 1 hb yang lepas. InsyaAllah saya akan memeriahkan majlis di sebelah lelaki pada hujung minggu ni.

p/s: Terima kasih En. Arip untuk sumbangan gambar. hihi...
