Why can't you like me without making me try.

Tempoh hari saya berjalan-jalan.

Bersiar-siar sebenarnya.

Kemudian masuk tandas kat Jusco. Tandas Jusco kan terkenal dengan queue yang super duper panjang (tandas perempuan sahaja, tandas lelaki tak pernah cek la pulak), jadi saya pun turut sama beratur.

Di depan saya ada dua orang budak perempuan, baya-baya darjah 5 atau 4.

Mereke berdiri dalam barisan sambil mengadap cermin tandas yang super besar.

Dan saya pun mula terdengar perbualan mereka.

"My body is always nicer than yours".
Kawannya mencebik sambil menjawab, "I am always taller than you".
Membalas cebikan, "My shoulder is always broader than yours."
Masih belum puas hati, "Ah, I know, my fingers will always be longer than yours.."
Dengan selamba yang seorang lagi menjawab, "It's ok. I will always have bigger brain!"

Senyap seketika.

Kemudian tiba giliran mereka untuk masuk ke tandas.

Dua-dua bergegas ke depan pintu, "Oh, it's squatting..." kemudian terus ke cubicle ke dua. "Oh, this one's squatting too..."

Kemudian terus pergi meninggalkan tandas dengan kecewa, sebab tak ada tandas duduk...

Moral of the story? Saya pun tak tahu, yang saya pasti selalunya bila kena beratur panjang untuk ke tandas, pasti ada sahaja entertainment untuk saya sementara menunggu giliran.

Well, DUNIA ini memang menarik. :)

Thank You.

Thank you for all the difficulties.

Thank you for making this hard for me.

Thank to you to all, who contributed to make everything seems so complicated.

May this bring me closer to Him, and may I see the silver lining within the gray sky.

May I see the beautiful garden beyond the dark forest.

May I reach that place, where ever it is, without burden and fear.

May Allah forgive me for all the things that I should not have done, but I did along the way.

May Allah grant me peace of mind.

May this end soon.

Three As

This week was a stressful week.

I can still feel the awful atmosphere even though the week has ended.

This morning, I was planning to attend a 'mengaji' class but I had to drive on my own as my mum had something else to do. After more than a month since the last time I attended the class, I remembered only 50% of the route. So I missed THE junction and was totally lost.

I changed my mind and drove back home. On my way home, I put on a motivational CD a friend lent to me.

The key things that I managed to capture was that there are 3 key As in life: Action; Attitude and Atmosphere.

These will determine whether you are positive in life or otherwise.
These would determine whether you would succeed or fail.
These would determine whether you would be able to achieve your dreams or you would keep dreaming.
These would determine whether you could overcome all the hardship and reach your goal.

And they are all interrelated that you have to have all three As to be positive in order to get a positive result.

Action and attitude are within your control, but atmosphere depends a lot on your surrounding.

That is why, I really like the lyrics of 'Senyum'.

Kalau saya senyum, awak mesti senyum sekali.
Kalau kita senyum, semua orang berjangkit.
Bila semua orang senyum, dunia tiada penyakit.

The impact of one person's good deed, would eventually benefit the whole world...

Time REALLY flies.

Assalamualaikum.

Hari ini, 2hb January 2011. Dua ribu SEBELAS! Cepatnya masa berjalan! Eh silap, berlari!
Hm betul la kata pujangga, "Time waits for no man".

Tengok date last entry saya, memalukan! It was April 2010, and as I was drafting entries in my head, it is already 2011. Makin dekat ke akhirat, makin laju masa berjalan.

Sebenarnya saya ada plan, untuk hapuskan blog ini, dan gantikan dengan yang baru. The plan was when I bought my new (now not so new anymore) phone, as I thought I could leverage on the easy access of Wordpress through my phone, hoping that I won't abandon my blog as I always did before. And that was in April last year. I did actually create a new blog in Wordpress, but obviously no entry at all. Menyedihkan.

Sooooo many things happened last year (rasa pelik bila sebut last year because it was just 2 days back) and I would not be able to cramp everything in here. I did not plan to write about it, but I might mention some that came to me as I write.

I thought 2009 was really THE year, but apparently 2010 gave me more than what I have expected.

New year resolution? Hurmm... I have some on the list, and one of them is to be able to pray better. I came across a blog that says, "Cuba manualkan solat bila termasuk gear auto". The blogger simply means that we normally perform our solat in an auto-mode, as most of the time our mind would wander around while the body performs all the routine in a solat. He recommends that whenever we realized that we were on auto-mode, quickly change to manual and remind yourself that Allah is watching you while you pray.

It sounds simple but believe me it is not.

Another resolution; not to hit others' car while driving. I came to a point that I do not feel guilty but rather mad at myself for hitting other's car on the road. I need to focus and stop eating while driving. HAHA.

So morale of the story, FOCUS is the key to success. Ada kaitan, kan?

Oh ya, another thing, not to put up hope too high that when it fails to materialize, I could still smile and digest it positively.

Like I said, I have some on the list... hehe.

Last week, as I was having lunch with a colleague, I told her, "I wish I am not here anymore, this month, next year". Maybe I should put that on the list too.

Ok, Happy New Year and please be reminded that this may not be the last entry. Hoho.
