Once in a Blue Moon



Checked friendster and my horoscope for today..

The best way to get what you want today is to speak up and ask for it! Demand it.


Oh girl, what a coincidence. Smiles. Wicked.

Today, June 28 2008
Location, Tesco Sri Alam
I spoke.
I asked.
I demanded.

And yes.
I got 80% of the thing(s) I wanted.

Lesson of the day.
You see opportunity. Grab it.
Because sometimes
It only happens Once in a Blue Moon.

Thank you Abah!
Bwa HaHaHa.

Happy Birthday Irman Abdul Rahman


Brother,

In a broken family without an outstanding father figure, you reluctantly took the role as father and role model. Wanting to pave a better mentality, a better mindset and a better target for your brothers. In times of darkness you did not question your capacity but rather you spent the awkward years of your life trying to be as comfortable as possible in order to make us (your brothers) feel a little better and a little braver to face the future that lied ahead of us.

As a brother you questioned mediocrity always challenging your brothers to be better to be much more than you can ever be. And often times we questioned our capacity, because we knew it took more than just being another man in order to stand up as tall as you do, but rather to stand with you we needed to be extraordinary, like you. You questioned not only things you saw but rather life as well. You questioned it to the extent that you made others believe that there is always a better way of doing things. You questioned our actions but only to the extent of making us think for ourselves whether we could do it better the next time around. You laughed at our mistakes but you supported us even in making our mistakes. Your support knew no prejudice nor discrimination.

As a friend you debated and you discussed, you taught us that sometimes life throws a rock at you and you bleed, but you stand up again because that is what men do. You taught us how to be men, good kind men. You were always easy to ask how we were doing and never tire of giving us advice. You stood above all else and when we listen, we placed your words above everyone elses because we knew you were credible.

As a brother you knew when to say no. You knew to tell us that we were moving too fast or too slow. And sometimes you told us when to stop and when to keep moving.

You're humble, sometimes to the extent that others around you feel uncomfortable with how humble you are, at age 28 you got your phd. A very young age and yet you tell others a Phd is nothing more than just knowing a little more than you knew 3 years before, but those within the family knew the deserving act for a lost fathers acknowledgment. You carry yourself in a manner unknown to others in your field, with grace, virtue and elegance. You're Dr. but it does not bother you to sound like an idiot. That is truly a gesture of a great man.

Youre sentimental, a bad bowler but a gracious loser. You know youre smart but you tell your brothers they're smarter and even though we hint a dash of cynicism, we also hint a dash of truth. Because sometimes we truly believe you believe we are smarter.

there is nothing i can buy you to make up for the things youve done for me. You are an extraordinary father, monumental husband, gigantic brother, colossal academician and thinker, true friend, and a son of epic proportions. The only true gift i can ever give you is the acknowledgment. So much so is the tradition in our family, our fathers acknowledgment has always been overwhelming, then i say to you this, my acknowledgment is that you are a deserving human being, you have earned every right to be where you are today, you deserve it and more. Your story my brother.... will be legendary...

Happy Birthday

Tazkirah Summer hehe


Adab tidur. Perkara macam ini memang la tak pernah diajar secara formal dalam kelas. Selalunya kita terbaca kat mana mana atau ada la sesiapa yang pernah beritahu. Ye tak? =)

Sebenarnya terjumpa satu artikel pasal tidur ni dalam surat khabar. Terus, saya amiklah isi isi yang penting untuk kongsi dengan kamu dalam blog ni. Hehe.

Jom kita baca

  1. Bagi umat Islam, elok lah kita mengambil wuduk dulu sebelum tidur. Allah akan pelihara roh kita di-sisiNya . Kalo kita tidur tanpa wuduk, Tuhan tidak akan memandang kita dan terus Jin Syaitan pun boleh menggangu kita. (Sbb tu mimpi bukan bukan. Rasa cam kena tindih hantu dan sebagainya)
  2. Tidur di atas rusuk kanan dan menghadap kiblat. (Salah satu cara wahyu diturunkan. Mimpi yang benar kan mimpi yang diberkati Tuhan)
  3. Elak tidur menelentang, kaki bersilang, tertiarap atau angkat punggung.
  4. Tutup aurat and tidur lah di tempat yang selamat dan jauh dari fitnah. (Kalau nak seksi seksa jugak selubunglah dgn selimut!! haha)
  5. Bacalah doa sebelum tidur. (Kan mak dah ajar banyak kali ni. haish. degil!!)
  6. Tidur hanya bila rasa mengantuk. (Bukan bila rasa bosan. hehe. kena batang hidung sendiri).
  7. Tidur jangan berlebihan dan berpanjangan untuk elak hilang kewarasan akal. (Jangan bongkak "Ah, tipu je tu. Aku tidur banyak tapi pandai je lagi ni!!". Eh hello? Tuhan boleh tarik nikmat kewarasan awak bila bila masa sahaja tau without you even realizing it.)
  8. Jangan tidur lama lama supaya tidak dikencing Syaitan. (ha...baca tu. memanglah kita tak nampak tapi eee...kamu suka ke dikencing?)
  9. Kalo nak tidur sekejap untuk rehat, elok sebelum waktu Zohor. (Islam syorkan. Sunnah Nabi s.a.w)
  10. Tidur sedikit pada waktu malam. Bangun selepas tgh malam sampai pagi untuk beribadat or belajar. (Ha.. bukan bangun tgh malam untuk sambung main game ye. hehe)
  11. Jauhkan tidur dua kali pada waktu siang kerana itu amalan syaitan. (ni kira macam dah tidur sebelum zohor lepas tu tidur lagi lepas asar la ni. elakkan ye kawan kawan)
  12. Elakkan tidur siang jadik habit kerana boleh keruhkan wajah and rezeki mahal.

Ha... itu lah dia...isi-isi yang saya ambil dari artikel itu. Banyak juga yang kita jarang amalkan dan tak ambil peduli...ye tak? (termasuklah saya yang menulis ni. hehe.) Terus, marilah kita ingatkan sesama sendiri. Lepas ini, kita kene ambil pedulik!!! =)

Kalo nak tahu, Syaitan ada bersumpah dengan 3 perkara. Selagi kita manusia selalu dan berterusan melakukan 3 perkara itu, selagi itu lah pintu kesesatan terbuka luas dan mudah bagi golongan Syaitan ni nak hasut kita... and confirm tak gagal lah usaha si Syaitan durjana itu!!

3 perkara itu ialah ( kita semua mesti cuba elakkan tak kira lelaki perempuan) :
  1. Keinginan untuk makan
  2. keinginan terhadap perempuan
  3. keinginan untuk tidur

Sekian untuk renungan dan fikiran kita bersama!!!

Cheers!! =D

Kurangkan Penggunaan Minyak?


Saya guna pengangkutan awam (I don't like it but i use it anway). Selalunya putra, monorail, teksi dan bas.

Pagi tadi Malaysia Hari ini (MHI) berbincang tentang cara menjimatkan penggunaan minyak.

Saya duduk, dengar dan catat. Hehe.

Terus, bagi sesiapa yang selalu memandu, boleh lah cuba dan praktikkan tip tip kat bawah ni. =)



  1. Panaskan enjin selama 30 saat saja, jgn lebih.
  2. Pandu dengan tenang dan lancar.
  3. Tekan minyak perlahan lahan ketika nak mulakan perjalanan.
  4. Jarakkan kenderaan sewajarnya supaya tak kerap berhenti.
  5. Pandu dengan kelajuan yang konsisten.
  6. Gunakan gear tinggi
  7. Bila nak naik bukit, tingkatkan kelajuan SEBELUM sampai bukit, bukan bila dah sampai.
  8. Pilih jalan yang sesuai dan elok.
  9. Matikan enjin jika menunggu atau berehat.
  10. Tutup tingkap jika memandu lebih 60km/j.
  11. Gunakan touch n go atau smart bila tiba kat tol.
  12. Ketika isi minyak, tekan nozzle minyak secara minima. Biar lambat asal kuantiti minyak berbaloi dengan jumlah yang dibayar.
  13. Lebih baik isi minyak pada waktu awal pagi atau malam.
  14. Pastikan penapis udara bersih.
  15. Jaga tekanan tayar.
  16. Keluarkan barang yang tidak perlu.
  1. Elak memandu dalam keadaan berebut atau marah.
  2. Elak mulakan perjalanan dengan kasar.
  3. Elak tekan break selalu.
  4. Elak jalan sesak, rosak, berlubang dan tak rata.
  5. Elak buka tingkap jika bawak laju.
  6. Elak bawak barangan berat.
  7. Elak guna tol tunai.
  8. Elak isi minyak waktu panas terik. (Tapi kalo dah tiada minyak tu, isi je lah kan?)

Ok kawan kawan. Selamat berjimat! =)

p/s: Hmmph. Minyak dah naik. Tak boleh keluar kuantan or makan luar selalu la lepas ni. Ish. =(

Fathers day

My dad passed away when i was 12 and in the distinct chatters of the friends rivaled in my life i have come to realize that i do not miss my dad.

I dont, i just dont miss my dad. Yeah sure youre going to think "Apa punya anak lah..." but i dont i honestly do not miss my dad.

Why would i miss him? He was loud when he spoke but he spoke very little...

He was annoying, i mean who wouldnt think he was annoying, he was so passionate about certain things and when he did speak he spoke as if it was his whole life. Who miss that idealistic and dream world he had in his mind for his children?? It was so unrealistic how much he expected of us and how he expected us to be men of our own and not moulded by him. Why would i miss someone who gave me so much freedom to think and to be idealistic.

He was obnoxiously lousy at admitting his faults, when he did something wrong he would hide a smile as if he didnt do anything wrong, who would miss that? Oh and his obsession with catching his own fish, determined to prove that even in this new world and age we can still catch our dinner and lunch, so old fashioned.

Have i mentioned how competitive he was? Orwh he would never admit defeat. I remembered this one time playing carrom with him and how he would stick his finger on the hole so our chips wouldnt fall in... and how he always walked away from a chess game telling me "Abah Ada keja lah" just when he realized he was gonna lose. Why would i miss that?

Why would i miss the way he told me and my brothers how smart we are... it wasnt even true. i think he was just saying it to make us feel better... its not like we need his protection... why would i miss him being so overprotective.

He used to beat me you know... he used to beat me senseless with my brothers, so what if we did something dangerous he shouldnt have the right to dictate our lives... i dont miss his beatings just because he did it because he was worried we might get into trouble and put ourself in a dangerous position doesnt mean its the right thing to do. I dont miss him caring what i do.

He used to force me and my brothers to sing sepuluh budak hitam in the car to keep him awake, yeah of course we learned to appreciate the song because it tied my brothers and i to a similar past but hey why didnt he just sing it??? He had to force us to sing it.

He's annoyingly proud too, when he walked into the house, the house would feel like everything was going to be ok. Everyone in the house trusted him. Yeah so he deserved it but he didnt need to gloat. So what if we trusted him with everything we have and will ever have? So what if he always found a way to make us keep moving and be better and made sure there was always food on the table??? it was his job. So what if he was an amazing teacher, educator and friend?? So what?

Oh and have i told you how he is so proud of his intelligence? Yeah so you have a phd that doesnt impress me... Yeah i know we all ended up today wanting a phd but that doesnt mean its because of you... it could because of other things too.. so what if you wrote about the inequality of how teachers were treated? So what if you wrote about the failing education system that needs revamping.. so what if you wrote the Prime Ministers speech when he was in Sabah? that doesnt make you proud.

So what if you took the time after sahur to cuddle the family together in the living room and told us stories about magic lands and islamic importance?? So what if i fell asleep on your shoulders because i have learned to understand the warmth of that of a father and how you cared? So what? Just because you taught me how to be an intelligent young men who questions everything and learn everything doesnt mean i should miss you....

So what if i cried when you passed away? I had something in my eye... i wasnt really crying... I wasnt really crying.... i never cried.....

I dont miss you... I dont miss you... i really dont miss you.... why would i miss you.....

*crying* happy fathers day dad.... I dont miss you... but we all do..... Happy fathers day

The Story of My Heart (poem)


Tomorrow,
i'll be fine,
tomorrow i will shine,
tomorrow i will dine,
tomorrow i will bask in thine,
blood.....

Tomorrow,
Is another day,
another day to pray,
pray for what might just may,
be another day,
of torment and pain,

Tomorrow,
i will find,
between the vast spaces in my mind,
where imagination and love intertwined,
where ideas are original and unrefined,
so i can use my brain to unwind,

Tomorrow,
I will be better,
to write that letter,
that i have been postponing,
to live and let live together,

Tomorrow,
every thing's going to be fine,
but tonight let reap, weep, and keep,
tonight, let me sleep....

Why i like stars...


Someone asked me this question a few days ago online and i gave them an answer which i thought would be cool to share. Yes for everyone this is another supposedly beautiful writing. hehe Enjoy

Why do i like the stars???

Because by looking at them we feel that we cease to be earthbound and burdened with practicality. it allows you to ask the impertinent question. Talk about ideas nobody has even thought about yet. Put things in a different way, look at things in a different way, putting things in a different perspective. It allows you to be poets if you absolutely must. Its a reminder that even when you are distanced so far apart there are always ways to reach out. It tells you to reach out. It makes you remember of distant and past times in history when man kind sat in this very same place and looked at it. When they sat in different places but gazed upon the very same star. it connects people, it reminds them they too can shine.

Reaching for the stars means to aim for greatness, to aim for something better, to reach for something better, then if the stars could gaze upon us then they would tell us stories of how beautifully we loved, how passionately we loved, and how painfully we loved. And in all those beauty, passion and pain, they will stand still jealous of humanity for being able to even feel love.
Thats why i like watching at the stars.

Missing you


i just wanted to say it
I just wanted to tell it
I just wanted to give it
I just didnt want you sad
for everything you never had,

I know you think I cry,
You say you see it through my eye
cause deep inside i wanna die
even when i said id try
even when i wanna fly

you wipe my tear,
with or without you here,
You scare away my nightmare,
you look at me like you stare,
cause you miss me when im not there,

i wish i could stay there with you,
i wouldnt say it if it wasnt true
and i hope you wish it too
when we hug its dejavu
and i want our lives together through and through....
