The Forgetful Mind...

It's been a hectic couple of days for me. My cousin is getting married and I has been given an important task to handle. And actually I totally forgotten about it until the last second, so everything seems chaotic at the moment. Thanks to some good buddies of mine, with a few phone calls, the task is finished right at the last second. 

Right now, I'm just expecting that everything will be smooth on the big day tomorrow. FYI, I'm handling the flower arrangements. So hopefully everyone will be impressed by my masculine skills, my taste of elegance and my hati yang berbunga. Hehehe...

I'll be visiting you guys soon. So do wait for me, okay ?

Pretty sure next week, I'll start again the actual beraya thingy.

Ps : I know that the bride are allowed to freak out on their big day but does it make sense at all if her entire family freaks out too ? I mean, who is the one getting married here ?

Words before Raya...

To those who might get hurt from my choice of word, I'll be glad to say I'm sorry

To those who always there, I'll be happy to say thank you

To those who always care, I really appreciate the kindness of you

I'll hoping for all of you to have a safe journey home,

To celebrate the wonderful day of Raya,

With all smile and no sad face at all.

Selamat Hari Raya

Maaf Zahir dan Batin

your sincerely,

James K. Alexander

Ps : On the first day of Raya, I'll be with my family celebrating Raya at my kampung. Feel free to come and visit. It's not too far away. Still in the center of the city = Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur.

Moderation...

'Whatever you do, do it in moderation'

Spend your money wisely. Even if it is for your glorious Raya day, excessive is not the only way. Cause excessive is actually the starting point of greed.

Ps : It's already Saturday, and I just don't know what should I buy for this upcoming Raya. Any suggestion guys ? Or should I just invest my wages + bonus into something that is profitable ?

 

I'm Home...

Peace - that was the other name for home.  

by Kathleen Norris

There just no place better than your own home. Even some fancy hotel or luxurious penthouse could not deliver the same experience of quiet, peace and harmony that you always wanted especially when it's time for you to recover from some illness or something.

Ps : I'm finally back at home again after being admitted to the hospital for a couple of days. Now, I'm still recuperating and I'll be visiting your blogs in jiffy. Hopefully, my visit to your blogs are still welcomed. 

Argumento...

'When an argument flares up, the wise man quenches it with silence.'

I always try to avoid from having some silly argument, especially at the public places. When something so small and ridiculous comes up, and you handle it like a debate in the parliamentary level, it actually shows how dumb and ignorant you are to all other people who keep staring at you like some live drama is going on. The best way to end it quickly is just nod politely (even though you're not agree with it) and just keep your mouth shut.  

Comprende ?

Ps : My berbuka meal today got ruin because of some stupid couple arguing with each other that happened just next to my table. And when they decide that shouting and arguing with vile words are just not enough, they start to throw plates and glasses from their own table and one of the plates hit my eye. Damn !! It really hurts, you know.

Most of them...

Don't you all agree ? Hehehehe...

The tales of Rain...

'And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.'  by Gilbert K. Chesterton


Back then when I was just out of college, I hate the rain. The rain makes most of my activities cut short. And because I don't own a car at the time, dating would be absolutely impossible in rainy days. And it eventually made my ex girlfriend dumped me. So, rain is actually the initial cause. And that's the reason why I hate the rain.

But now, I love the rain. From the smell of it, it seems pure and wonderful. It teaches me perseverance, strong will and courage. It made me become who I am right now. A man who have a vision and can sort his own future. And it is also becomes the main reason why I bought my car. Hehehe...

So, don't be afraid or even hate it. It won't harm you but only makes you wet or even catch a fever(LOL).  But what really important is rain can only brings hope that you can see if only you really opened up your eyes and your heart.

Ps : I just don't know why but I really dislike that Korean actor called Rain.

Just Smile...

'Wear a smile and have friends, wear a scowl and have wrinkles.' 

by George Eliot

You want to start your day a whole lot better ? You want to be friendlier ? You want to be prettier ? You want to put off some pressure ? You want to feel healthier ? Just put a smile on your face. Cause smile don't cost nothing, sugar !!

Ps: Dear peniaga bazaar, everybody knows you are tired, and hungry and maybe a bit irritated or annoyed from the other fussy customer that you might had earlier, but please put a smile on your face. It helps you sell your goods a lot better. FYI, wearing your creepy faces is not helping you at all. 

Buffet...

'Everyone have been blessed with sustenance, the god's gift to the humankind. Be grateful about it and don't let it be a waste.'


Everybody knows you're hungry. Take and eat the only thing you can consume. Having a big appetite and just plain greedy are a two different kind of things . Even voracious wolves know the limit about how much food they can afford to swallow at a time.


Ps : Sometimes I try to avoid from having a buffet, not because I don't enjoy it. It's because the selfish and unwise attitude of some people towards the glorious and wide variety of food in front of them that's just disgusting and unacceptable for me. What's the point if you keep telling people to be patience especially in this fasting month but you couldn't hold yourself from all these temptations ? 

Mystery behind the Name...

Does your name really reflects your identity or characteristics ? Or does your name makes you feel related to someone great in history ?

From my perspective, I think name can somehow influenced your characteristic even if it's just a little. 

Like my friend, Albert Choo who really is a genuinely genius in computer stuffs resembles some qualities of Albert Einstein. And my co-workers, Nur Ilham is the person who always come up with a brilliant solutions.

But maybe it's just another damn coincidence or something that we couldn't understand . Something beyond the thought of humans mind. Something that only the Lord can figure it out.

Ps : Why is it every girl named Rachel or Asyikin that I've known is meant to be hot ? Can someone solve my puzzle here ?

It's just Scary...

I scared, man. I just can't do it.

Come on. I'm sure you can. Please. Do it for me.

No way. This one is just freaking insane. Go find someone else, okay.

How dare you say something like that ? You're task is really simple, okay. And you're about to become one of the important part of my family history. Now, just hold the camera still, okay. Be brave. I know you can.

Fine. And I'm sorry. Now, I'll try my best. But if I throw up, don't be mad at me okay.

No. You won't puke at all. Not even a little bit. Come on. It's time.

My body starts to shiver when I step in. I feel like the air in the room comes from the arctic or someplace colder than I ever felt. I hold the camera as still as possible. I heard screaming that is much scarier than some ghost movies that I've seen. This is by far the most crazy thing that I ever done. Scarier than the bungee jump I had a few years a go. With my adrenaline rushing through my vein, I just kept my eyes close and hope it will all end soon. 

***********************************************************************************

Dude. Come on. It's all over now. And I've gotta baby boy !

Really ? Phew. Congratulation to you. Hey, is it safe for me to open my eyes right now ?

Yeah ! You can. Everything that may scares you has gone now. Thanks man. I know I always can count on you.

Sure, anytime. Hehehe...

That was what I did today. Holding the camera and record the actions in the labor room for the sake of my friend. It was 'exhilarating', nerve- wrecking, spine-chilling and the scariest adventure that I ever done. It took a lot of courage to be there. And I just hope, I won't have to go through that again.

Ps : Dear future wife, if your time do comes to give birth for our future child, I will hold your hand and give all the encouragement that you need. Just don't made me hold the camera and record it as it happens. I just couldn't muster all those courage again. Cause it's just too scary...

On Sunday...

'Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.'  

by Joseph Addison

Let's just say that no one gonna be blue on this day. Cheer up and spend your free time wisely. 

Ps : Somehow, I felt like today is the day to be free. Free time to clear up my cluttered mind doing what I like the most. And what I like the most is sleeping. So wake me up when August ends... hehehe...

Make it Count

'Don't count every hour in the day, just make every hour in the day count.'

  

Counting the minutes till dusk so that you could gladly break your fast is not something useful or beneficial at all. Maximize your productivity. Or at least make something worthwhile. I'm pretty sure, there is always something that you could do.  

Ps : Damn. My plan to meet the girl from yesterday got ruined cause I'm stuck in a traffic jam for almost 3 hours. And I only berbuka with a bottle of mineral water in the car. Sigh. I hope it won't happen again tomorrow.

The First

Dear you the first,

I'm still down here,

I just want you to know,

That I'm doing fine,

I'm reaching for the light,

The light that you gave me,

That was a long time ago,

But seems just like last night,

And with it,

I'm moving on toward something better,

Something true and solid,

Something real and can be touch,

Cause my journey ain't over,

And there's a lot of things to be done

Only Lord knows what I feel for all this time,

How I miss you,

What I want to say to you,

Why I'm feeling so blue without you

So I hope you'll wait for me,

Until my time comes,

I only gonna stare at the sky,

Cause you are my shining star, 

And you are the brightest one, 

That I see through my eyes

Flashback....

 'Love what makes you and me better than any human being who lives without them'

Lifehouse - You and Me


What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Miracle

We always pray for a miracle in our lives,
Miracles that seems impossible to be realized,

Like thousands of golds came out of nowhere,
Like all the good luck goes to the man in despair,
Like a savior descended down from the sky,
Like all the happiness is there wherever we walk by,

All of this,
Lit a rays of hope in our hearts,
But it will always remain as a hope when we don't take part,
To save or change the world as it needs to be,
To make it better as we want it to be,

We should stand together and make it happen,
To make alterations by our own bare hands,
To change and show that we are not weak,
And that's the true miracle in life that we really need...

Simple is for Men...

'Men are simple enough to classified. The wise is always thinking. The average is always dreaming. And the scum is always sleeping.'



'Love is many thing to a man and woman. Love makes most man striving for success, love makes all woman always feel unrest.'


'What a man truly needs are food and sleep, but what a woman truly needs are just too long to describe that make most men weep.'




From these sayings, clearly shows that men are simple. Let's leave the complicated things to the women.


-End-

I just couldn't get you

I'm standing like statue in the corner of the patient's bed and just keep staring at her. Suddenly the doctor came in with a result and break the silence.

'Suicide is not the best option in your life. Don't be so dumb and decides to take away your life this way.'

Her lips seems to be sealed. No words of denial that could be thrown to the doctor who slowly steps away from the room.

'Why you'd do something like this ?' I began to ask.

She just lying still and kept her mouth shut.

'No explanation ? Nothing ?' I asked again. Still no signs of her want to tell me what the real thing is.

'This is why woman is always complicated. Sorry, but this is the reason why I just couldn't get you.'

 

 

Ps : I gotta work tomorrow and figure out all of this ? Man, I need a break !

One at a Time...

This is an onion

To get to know someone, you should not just go straight to the core. Just like the onion, you have to peel it one layer at a time.


Ps : Just so you know, it has nothing to do with The Onion Movie. Or the way chefs cook with an onion.

Change...

Day by day, 

We look in the mirror,

We notice the differences,

We change,

We are not the same as before,

We grow,

We develop on certain things,

And still weak on sort of things,

We don't look like yesterday,

Because we always changing,

Even when we say we are still the same,

Maybe we just didn't realize it,

For better or worse,

We are gonna keep changing,

Until we soon find,

The true of what we are...
