Twenty Six

This is the point where I insist on writing regardless having nothing to spill. Let's just do snippets!

1. Tomorrow's Malaysia's 56th Independence Day celebration. Malaysia; though recently is a hot spot for a number of gunshots and many other commotions, is the place where I call home. Had some intention to migrate, but let's KIV that at the moment.

2. Counting down... I have EXACTLY 2 months and 30 days left!

3. I have cakes to be done, by midnight. But this muscle pain is slowing my progress. Speaking of that, what I really need is exercise. I'll pick up my jogging routine. Maybe next month. Or the other month. Or next year. Or god knows when.

Toodles!

Twenty Five

Come whatever may, I will still change me;

For it would be less hurtful;
For it would make you much happier;
So I could make things work,
Or at least I could make them up;
So that the future wouldn't be so punitive;
So the storyline would change,
Our storyline would've changed,
Because I am expecting a fairy tale,
A happily-ever-after kind of ending.

18 April 2010




Can't believe Allah has answered my prayers.

Alhamdulillah.

Once I used to wish that you'd be the happiest man in the world, even if I wasn't.


Plot twist: Why can't we both be happy together? Being together. Forever.

Hatiku Selembar Daun
Oleh: Sapardi Djoko Damono

hatiku selembar daun 
melayang jatuh di rumput; 
nanti dulu, biarkan aku sejenak terbaring di sini; 
ada yang masih ingin kupandang, 
yang selama ini senantiasa luput; 
sesaat adalah abadi 
sebelum kausapu tamanmu setiap pagi.

Saddened by the incident

Envy the beautiful photos

Wonder would I have the magical fingers

Only to realise I express better in writing.

Counting days...




to the next September 11th





"With this celebration of yours
and the wonderful person you are,
I look back at how our love
has grown
and thank God
not only for bringing you into this
world
but for bringing you into mine.
And as I look forward to
sharing
many more happy tomorrows
with you
I wish you a birthday blessed
with every joy,
because I love you."

Cross one's fingers
(11 September 2005)




...

I'm amazed, and very grateful that the feeling is still the same today.

I love you too.

16th August

The date I've always dreaded since 2007.

In turning it into something I really look forward to, I wished and in fact had expressed my intention to tie the knot on this date.

Allah knows better.

Now it has become nothing more than unbecoming.

A friend lost his beloved fiance. Can't imagine being put in his shoes, undertaking such trial.

But Allah knows best.

Al-fatihah.

The simplest gesture touches the heart.

Asked a 10-year-old boy to write a note in a Hari Raya card. He included, among others,

"Jangan lupa berjuang dan berdoa untuk saudara kita di Palestin."

Eighteen

Self reminder:

Never make promises when you're happy
Never make decisions when you're angry
