Life as a way it is...

Have you ever trusted your life completely in hands of strangers?

I have... and never did I knew that it was the pivotal moment of my life... I thought that kindness had almost evaporated from the haerts of humans but I was wrong... and I was thankful that I was given the chance to go through that experience....

                            

Life's a bitch... sometimes..

Ever had a day when everything just went abso-bloody-lutely wrong? As for me, it had happened yesterday... if there's a heavier word than klutzy/clumsy, that'll describe the person I was yesterday. I guess, my fingers had turned to butters.. hahaha!

Been pondering on stuff that had happened lately. Politics was my main concern these days. That's the only point of discussion I had with my Abah & we texted on almost every day basis. Seems like we shared the same sentiment(s) on the current scenario.

Okay, I'm not trying to be all political here or seeding some sort of propaganda in those who are reading this, but I shared the same opinion as former PM of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, who had (relentlessly) asking the current PM, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, to step down. I'm not trying to deny the kind of leadership that P.Lah has been in since his reign... it's just that he didn't seem to care about the strong voice that the Rakyat had poured out in the 12th General Election on 8th March 2008.

I have to admit that I didn't go for voting during the election. Part of it was of protest... of the rapid hike in prices of oil, sundry goods, tolls, etc. Turns out that there's lots of others who shared my sentiments. Unless something is to be done to control the current  (unwarranted) situation, Malaysia's future in politics and administration hung in a balance. Like I said, I wasn't trying to create an unwanted sentiment, let alone spreading hate... but just want to ponder on something that we need to seriously think about.

I'll be talking more on this in my next entry (ies). Right now, I had to nurse my sprained ankle... ouch!

Until then...

Lagu ni penuh makna....

Ramlah Ram- Ketentuan

Tak semudah kau sangka
Melepaskan kau pergi
Hati yang meronta, hampa kecewa
ku tekad sembunyikannya dari pandanganmu

Ku rela begini
Berakhirnya di sini
Dari bersamamu terus berpura
Setelah cinta tiada lagi di hatimu

Chorus

Ku hapuskan airmata dari mengiringi
Kesengsaraan mengharung perpisahan ini
Ku pujuk jiwa nestapa
Pendamkanlah duka
Pasrah pada lara ketentuan ini

Tak semudah kau rasa
Melepaskan kau pergi
Hati yang terluka dikunjung jua
Kerinduan yang tidak tertanggung terhadapmu

*Bridge

Sesungguhnya
Ku tahu betapa sukar untukku
Menempuh hidup
Walau sehari tanpamu
Ku terseksa

Kenapa Adik Sharlinie Masih Belum Ditemui?

Sudah sebulan lebih adik Nor Sharlinie Mohd Nashar hilang, dipercayai diculik oleh seorang lelaki yang dikenali sebagai 'lelaki kucing'. Walaupun gerakan mencarinya telah dilancarkan secara besar2an di seluruh negara, hatta mengadakan kawalan di pintu sempadan & mengadakan pemariksaan dari rumah ke rumah di kawasan sekitar, namun setakat ini pencarian tersebut masih belum menampakkan hasil.

Saya bukan mahu memperkecilkan usaha yang telah dilaksanakan oleh pihak berkuasa & orang2 awam yang bekerja keras, namun pada hemat saya, pendekatan yang diambil dalam menyelesaikan kes ini agak kurang tepat. Sepatutnya sebarang usaha yang dilakukan oleh pihak polis tidak perlulah disebarkan di media massa. Sekadar menyebut 'usaha mencari sedang giat dijalankan oleh pihak polis' atau 'siasatan masih dijalankan', bagi saya itu sudah memadai. Bukan untuk memberi gambaran bahawa pihak polis tidak menjalankan tugas, tapi bagi memastikan bahawa mangsa itu berada dalam keadaan yang selamat. Ini kerana sekiranya suspek yang melarikan adik Sharlinie tu sudah tentunya akan panik & akan mencari jalan untuk menyelamatkan dirinya dari keadaan tersebut.

Lagi satu, gambar adik Sharlinie yang diedarkan kepada umum juga sudah tidak relevan lagi. Kalau saya yang nak menculik budak, perkara pertama yang akan saya lakukan adalah mengubah rupa asalnya. Tak kira la samada nak botakkan, panjangkan rambutnya, comokan wajahnya, hatta mencacatkannya sekalipun. Maaf saya pinta andai kata2 saya ini kedengaran kasar bunyinya, tapi saya sekadar berkongsi apa yg tersirat di fikiran saya. Terpulanglah pada kalian untuk menilainya.

Apapun, sama2lah kita doakan agar adik Sharlinie sentiasa di bawah perlindunganNya... semoga apa yang terjadi menjadi iktibar kepada kita semua.

p/s: Jangan lupa menunaikan kewajipan mengundi pada 8 Mac 2008 nanti.. :)

30 rahsia wanita yang lelaki perlu tau...sekadar berkongsi...

I got this from my fren in my email. Ada statement yang tepat, ada yang tidak.. ada yang bergantung pada keadaan. Terpulang la pada anda untuk menilainya..  :)

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

1. Bila sorang wanita mengatakan dia sedang bersedih, tetapi dia tidak menitiskan airmata, itu bermakna dia sedang menangis di dalam hatinya. (yup...true enough..)

2. Bila dia tidak menghiraukan kamu selepas kamu menyakiti
hatinya,lebih baik kamu beri dia masa untuk menenangkan hatinya
semula sebelum kamu menegur dengan ucapan maaf.

3. Wanita sukar nak cari benda yang dia benci tentang orang yang paling dia sayang(sebab itu ramai wanita yang patah hati bila
hubungan itu putus di tengah jalan). (been there, done that...*sigh*)

4. Sekiranya sorang wanita jatuh cinta dengan sorang lelaki,lelaki itu
akan sentiasa ada di fikirannya walaupun ketika dia sedang
keluar dengan lelaki lain. (yup...)

5. Bila lelaki yang dia suka dan cinta merenung tajam ke dalam
matanya,dia akan cair seperti coklat!! (err...ye ke??)

6. Wanita memang sukakan pujian tetapi selalu tidak tau macam mana nak menerima pujian.

7. Jika kamu tidak suka dengan gadis yang sukakan kamu separuh mati, tolak cintanya dengan lembut,jangan berkasar sebab ada satu
semangat dalam diri wanita yang kamu tak akan tahu bila dia dah buat keputusan, dia akan lakukan apa saja. (for some of us, yes..this is very true. )

8. Sekiranya sorang gadis mula menjauhkan diri darimu selepas kamu
tolak cintanya,biarkan dia untuk seketika.Sekiranya kamu
masih ingin menganggap dia sorang kawan,cubalah tegur dia perlahan-lahan.

9. Wanita suka meluahkan apa yang mereka rasa. Muzik,puisi,lukisan dan tulisan adalah cara termudah mereka meluahkan isi hati mereka.

10. Jangan sesekali beritahu perempuan yang mereka ni langsung tak
berguna.

11. Bersikap terlalu serius boleh mematikan mood wanita.

12. Bila pertama kali lelaki yang dicintainya dalam diam memberikan
respon positif,misalnya menghubunginya melalui telefon,si gadis akan bersikap acuh tak acuh seolah-olah tidak berminat,tetapi sebaik saja
ganggang diletakkan,dia akan menjerit kesukaan dan tak sampai 10
minit, semua rakan-rakannya akan tahu berita tersebut. (hahaha... masa remaja dulu mmg macam ni...hehehe!)

13. Sekuntum senyuman memberi seribu erti bagi wanita. Jadi jangan senyum sebarangan.

14. Jika kamu menyukai sorang wanita,cubalah mulakan dengan
persahabatan.Kemudian biarkan dia mengenalimu dengan lebih mendalam.

15. Jika sorang wanita memberi seribu satu alasan setiap kali kamu ajak keluar,tinggalkan dia sebab dia memang tak berminat denganmu.

16. Tetapi jika dalam masa yang sama dia menghubungimu
atau menunggu panggilan darimu,teruskan usahamu untuk memikatnya.

17. Jangan sesekali mengagak apa yang dirasakannya.Tanya dia sendiri!! (ya, yang ini sangat betul. payah sangat ke nk beranikan diri untuk bertanya, wahai lelaki? kalau korg dapat buat macam ni lagi kitorg respek...coz u gentleman...)

18. Selepas sorang gadis jatuh cinta,dia akan sering tertanya-tanya
kenapalah aku tak jumpa lelaki ini lebih awal.

19. Kalau kamu masih tercari-cari cara yang paling romantik untuk memikat hati sorang gadis,cubalah rajin-rajinkan tangan menyelak buku-buku cinta. (yang ni jangan amalkan sangat. kadang2 tips yg diberi agak mengarut. setiap ladies ada definisi romantik yg tersendiri, so jgn assume sume ladies sukakan benda yg sama, ok? senang citer, refer no. 17.)

20. Bila setiap kali gambar kelas keluar,benda pertama yang dicari
oleh wanita ialah siapa yang berdiri di sebelah buah
hatinya,kemudian barulah dirinya sendiri.

21. Bekas teman lelaki akan sentiasa ada di fikirannya tetapi lelaki
yang dicintainya sekarang akan berada di tempat teristimewa iaitu di hatinya!!

22. Satu ucapan 'Hi' sahaja sudah cukup menceriakan harinya.

23. Teman baiknya saja yang tahu apa yang sedang dia rasa dan lalui.

24. Wanita paling benci lelaki yang berbaik-baik dengan mereka
semata-mata nak tackle kawan mereka yang paling cantik. (well, that depends. kalau bukan dia sendiri minat kat lelaki tu, she'll be glad to help. tapi kalaupun dia suka kat lelaki tu, takdelah sampai nk benci.. melainkan kalau dia diperlekehkan.)

25. Cinta bermaksud kesetiaan, ambil berat, jujur dan kebahagiaan tanpa sebarang kompromi.

26. Semua wanita mahukan sorang lelaki yang cintakan mereka sepenuh hati..

27. Senjata wanita adalah airmata!!

28. Wanita suka jika sesekali orang yang disayanginya mengadakan
surprise buatnya(hadiah,bunga atau sekadar kad ucapan
romantis).Mereka akan rasa terharu dan merasakan bahawa dirinya dicintai setulus hati.Dengan ini dia tak akan ragu-ragu terhadapmu. (ni pun bergantung pada keadaan jugak (refer no. 17). lagi best kalau kad tu buat sendiri ke, masakkan masakan kegemaran dia ke, belikan buku penulis faveret dia ke...things like that. it means you've gone great lengths to win her heart over. leh cair hati perempuan tu tau.. and she'll appreciate you even more..)

29. Wanita mudah jatuh hati pada lelaki yang ambil berat tentang mereka dan baik terhadapnya.So,kalau nak memikat wanita
pandai-pandailah...

30. Sebenarnya mudah mengambil hati wanita kerana apa
yang dia mahu hanyalah perasaan dicintai dan disayangi sepenuh jiwa. (aaahhh... bukankah kita semua mahukan perkara yang serupa..?)

Another year, another chapter...

How time flies... now we're coming to the edge of 2007 already. How was the past year for me...? Well, to be honest, nothing much has changed. But overall, it wasn't that bad... just not happening enough I guess. As always, I'm optimist for the new year to come, with the hope that things will turn out better this time around. Also, I'm forwarding the same prayer to the rest of the people whom I've had known through all these years.. InsyaAllah. Till then...

Reflection of the past....

I'm here...

So much had happened during the past weeks. Some are sweet, some are just a bit too much for me to handle.

He (my ex-bf) got married last Friday (7th Dec.). I'm happy that he has found a woman whose going to be his partner for life... I truly am. It reminds me of a saying that I've read somewhere..'Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times'... though it might sounded a bit painful to swallow the bitter pill, but I've to be realistic...like the sayings of Aristotle.. "Happiness depends on ourselves..."

The only thing that perplexed me to in this so-called episode was the gesture of his fiancee (now wife). She did contacted me before, but it wasn't a friendly exchange. I was quite hurt at 1st, but who am I to say at that point... he had already made his choice & I respect that. Then, all of sudden, 2 weeks ago, she sent me a text message, asking for my address to send the wedding invitation. That wasn't all... she did peppered me with questions, one of them asking how did he & I broke up in the 1st place. Recognizing some 'weird' tone in her messages, I tried to be as plain and transparent as possible... neutral-toned messages & void of any judgemental emotions.

Then it got me thinking...'Was that a goodwill gesture on her side of the story? Is she still considering me as a threat & trying to break me down with details-sharing part of her (then) upcoming wedding?' I asked a very few of my best pals about that (because I was so perplexed by her move...honest!)...and many of them said the latter. For the love of God, I wasn't trying to be the third party here.. I know where I stand... and I'm not that desperate. I wish she could read this for once & put the sense into the whole situation that had happened. I wasn't trying to be an angel (let alone be the devil) in this whole thing, but I really believe that sometimes we need to see things in a whole bigger pictures, without the prejudiced thoughts or wild suspicions. Perhaps she loves him too much... perhaps I was the meddler... only she knows her own reason.

On a final note, I just want to say how I feel...

It's kinda sad to see that you've spent all these years building a dream life with a person whom you really love and care for... only to see that someone else is living it up....

Until then...

Announcement

For those who have been looking for me, I'll be away for a while. Got some business to take care of. Truly, I'm now tied up in an unwanted situation & I need to resolve it first before things get outta hand.Wish me luck guys...

Until then...

How Happy Are We?

Few days back, I watched something interesting in OPRAH. It was about being happy & how to achieve the amount of happiness that we really want to. Of course, most people who were being asked the question admitted that they are not being happy enough.. well, don't we all..?

There was one phrase that caught my attention: destination addiction. How shall I explain it...hurm..it is something like saying that you are going to be happy when you have some things, i.e. a house, a Playstation, a Mercedes, becoming a millionnaire by the time I'm 30...bla,bla,bla.. but still are not satisfied with what you have even if you have it all.

How often do we noticed this?  Many of us sometimes (yours truly included) feels that, one way or the other. Sadly, we often fail to recognize that it is the inner greed that actually prompt us to feel & behave that way.

Overindulging is perhaps the lousiest way to actually appease that greed. It won't work as a remedy, but with time, it can worsen the already-dire situation that you're in. Speaking of that, another later episode features about overindulging the kids...just to make them feel happy and compensate the 'lost' times due to work. There's one case where one female, being 23, married with 1 child...and still has her mother paying her house's rent and utility bills... that is some serious case man...

I'm not exactly good in persuading people (that's why I don't do well in marketing), but there's a lot to be learnt from this... take a time to think and ponder for a while...

Until then....

Hello...

Now back again...

Met an old friend over the weekend. Sad to hear that she's leading a difficult life all this while. Anyway, there's lot to be learnt in life. In the end, it's up to us how we want it to be and how we want it to end.

Been in touch with long-lost frens... just keeping things up-to-date & perhaps gaining some strength from what they have experienced this far.  Not to say that I have a less-experienced life, it's just that there is a lot to be learned from others. There's nothing wrong in knowing what others have gone through, as long as you don't try to attempt to actually opening up their 'cans of worms'... that's bad news man.

Been a TV junkie for these past few weeks. Been watching lots of 'Oprah' & life-inspiring movies on Hallmark Channel. Documentaries too... plus lots & lots of C.S.Is.. more things I learned about people. And now with CH79 (Crime & Investigation), looks like my appetite for true-crime has found its endless possibility..hehehe!

OK, better off now. Will be back with more interesting stories.

Until then...
