He made me smile all day

I was browsing through the wall of my Facebook when I saw this:















I felt so sorry for him, so I sent him a poem, just to give him the encouragement that he needs. I know people like him won't have time to read my message. But to my surprise...















He really made me smile all day long. Now I can't sleep. Thank you Fahrin. :) You make me fly so high.



















Love,

Sick, sick, sick

I have been neglecting my blog lately. I didn't mean to. I have been sick for the past 3 days. I was down with fever, flu and cough. A perfect combo. Usually I only get sick early in the year, due to the weather. It has been raining heavily these past few days and sometimes I forgot to bring my umbrella to work, thus I had to run in the rain. 

On the first day, I found out I only have paracetamol. So in the afternoon, I went out and bought cough syrup, soluble (for flu), another bottle of paracetamol, and guess what? I managed to add Maybelline Magnum Super Film mascara in it. It doesn't mean that when you're sick, you have to look sick. I still look after my appearance. I'm not the one who likes to look pale and sick in front of others. I prefer to look fresh and healthy, no matter how sick I am.

The rest of the days, until now, were torturous for me. I couldn't stand the air-cond, I get cold easily, coughing like there's no tomorrow, not enough sleep, lost some weight and spent most of my time napping. A lot of work are left pending. So tonight, I decided to finish everything so that I can concentrate on doing other work next week.

Pergilah Ayu

The lyrics and the song means a lot to me. 


Kosong hidupku tanpa mu
cerminku membayangkan
bayanganmu
pameran kaseh ku layu
tiada dirimu tiada untukku

Tinggalkan ku dlm angan ku
sakitku mencintaimu
deritaku
merinduimu
lemah hati menginginkanmu

Kau hilang terus kau menyepi
tawaku bila ku ketahui
berita kau sudah berpunya
hancur hatiku
berkeping keping jadinya

Hilangku bukan kerana cinta
hilang
ku bukan untuk menyeksa
bagiku semua tiada berharga
biarku telan semua
derita

Chorus 1
Pergilah kau pergi dariku
biarkankujalani hidup
tanpamu
tiada cinta dan kasehmu
meski hati merelai

rap

Mati hariku
dikotak sepi
di situ kau mula mahu mengenalinya
langkah ku songsang mula ku
sedari
semula ku hias kau jauh dah pergi ya

Putus komunikasi kau elakkan diri
ku mencari jalan kembali kau mahu terus pergi
ku ingatkan kau memori kau
tutupkan telinga
nyata tiada kita nyata tiada jalan penyambungnya

YA
ALLLAH
MAHA PEMURAH DAN MAHA PENCIPTA
terima kasih atas pertemuan antara aku
dan dia
jika nyata bukan dia pemilik tulang rusukku
kikiskanlah pesonanya
dari kedua mata

dengan kelebihan dan kekurangan yang ada
bahagia kanlah
mereka ku doakannya
pada MU kupohon sucikan hatiku
sehinga dapat melaksana
kehendak dan rencana MU
AMIN

Chorus 2

Pergilah pergilah ayu
jangan kau
hiraukan tentang diriku
pergi kau pergi kau ayu
kuanggapkan ini satu
tragedi

Kau hapuskan semua yang kita bina
kau hancurkan
harapan ku
untuk hidup bahgia bersamamu

Berkali kau
bersumpah untuk berubah
tapi janji kosongmu
tak sudah sudah,entah sampai
bila
kaulepaskan saja aku

chorus 2

Pergilah pergilah ayu
jangan kau
hiraukan tentang diriku
pergi kau pergi kau ayu
kuanggapkan ini satu
tragedi

chorus 1

Pergilah kau pergi dariku
biarkankujalani hidup
tanpamu
tiada cinta dan kasehmu
meski hati merelai

Love,

I decided

I have decided to write in two languages in my blog, one is definitely English (though you may find some grammatical errors but I don't care because I like to write in English) for normal and day-to-day stuff and the other one will be my native language, which is Malay, especially when I am writing about personal stuff. I feel more comfortable writing about my feelings in my native language (though I am not so good at it but at least I can improve myself). So just watch out for the next entry.

Love,

Meeting or mating?

While some people prefer to hang out at the office waiting for meeting to start, I prefer to go back to my quarters to refresh myself. What is the point of staying at the office doing nothing? Other than staring at the netbook for hours, there's nothing much to do because it is still early and some of us have not entered the class yet. 

Today I only had one class with the Form 4 students, first EST class with them. It is a super duper quiet class. They only talked when I asked them questions. Gosh, I can't stand it. I have to think of something to make the class livelier. It is easy to do so when I teach English because there are so many activities to be carried out. But it is different with EST. All reading and no play. I want my class to be interesting. I tried to crack some jokes and thank God (syukur Alhamdulillah) they responded and laughed. *phew* I really need to find some ways to attract them cause they really want to learn the subject.

I thought I can have some rest today, after yesterday's ordeal (drunken monkey?). But the head of my department just told me that the meeting has to be rescheduled to today at 3 pm. Since he is always nice to me (for the past two years, he has been mentoring me on how to teach/handle EST class), so maybe I can just go and pretend that I am going for a movie instead. Besides, a consultant is going to join us for this meeting. I met her this afternoon and I have to say that I am very impressed with her so I am looking forward to gain something from and working with her.

It's 2 pm now, I still have time to sleep. More updates later!

Love,

I couldn't even walk properly

Pretty hectic day for me today, until I realized something this evening (5 January): I didn't take any food since last night (4 January) until after I finished Scout meeting at about 4.30 pm (5 January). How crazy is that? If it goes on like this I won't be surprised that I will be as thin as Paris Hilton by the end of the year. But there are some bad effects as well, migraine and gastric. I suffered both by the end of the day, resulting me to walk back to my house like a drunken monkey. It was horrible. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way and I promise to take a very good care of myself.

Second day... of working

It is the second day of working. What? Only second day? Means there are more than 300 days to go before the long awaited holiday? Ok, ok, I am just kidding. I really look forward to start working since mid December because I feel so helpless staying at home doing nothing. Besides I think I spent more money when I was on holiday (i.e. movies, karaoke, dining, shopping, etc). I know today is only the second day, but I hope I can achieve more and succeed in my career this year. No Less procrastinating, less playing, focus and concentrate more and perform better than last year. I know I can do it!

Impian saya (My dreams)

I meant to post this a long time ago, but I kept on procrastinating, thus, it only appears in this brand new year. For this entry, I am going to write in my native language.

Setiap orang mempunyai impian. Ok, scratch that. I don't want to begin with a sentence from secondary school essay reference book. Let's restart.

Saya akui, saya memang mempunyai impian yang yang sangat tinggi, tetapi bagi saya munasabah dan dapat dicapai seandainya saya yakin dengan kemampuan diri saya sendiri. Untuk orang  yang mempunyai "self-esteem" yang rendah seperti saya, cepat menggelabah dan panik sebelum mencuba, perkara yang susah sememangnya akan menjadi lebih susah untuk dibuat.

Tetapi kali ini, saya telah bertekad untuk mencapai impian saya. Jadi apakah impian saya? Impian saya ialah untuk melanjutkan pelajaran peringkat Master dan PhD di Amerika Syarikat. Senang sahaja bukan? Lagi senang jika mempunyai sumber kewangan yang kukuh. Kenapa saya memilih negara barat yang sangat jauh? Kenapa tak di negara sendiri sahaja? Ada sebab-sebabnya kenapa saya nekad membuat pilihan ini.

Pertama, kos yang saya nak ambil belum ada lagi di sini. Apa kos itu? Biarlah rahsia dulu. Ayah pernah mencadangkan dan hendak menaja jika saya memilih Australia, tetapi bagi saya, kos ini sudah betul-betul establish di Amerika Syarikat berbanding dengan negara-negara lain. Lagipun, saya tidak mahu bergantung sepenuhnya dengan ayah dan mahu melanjutkan pelajaran menggunakan hasil titik peluh sendiri. Pada saya itu lebih berbaloi dan berharga.

Kedua, saya mempunyai impian untuk menjelajah kesemua 50 buah negeri di Amerika Syarikat, termasuk Hawaii dan Alaska. Saya mahu merasai pengalaman bermain salji, duduk bersantai sambil membaca buku di Central Park, minum kopi di kafe tepi jalan di New Orleans sambil menikmati alunan muzik jazz, memakai topi koboi dan bercakap dalam aksen western di Texas, bersantai di tepi pantai di Hawaii, tidur di motel-motel dan banyak lagi. Indah bukan?

Yang terakhir sekali mungkin memang sangat mengarut. Saya perlu mencipta memori baru dan melupakan segala-galanya yang pernah berlaku di sini. Kawan saya pernah bertanya, "K, kenapa kamu selalu lari apabila berdepan dengan masalah?". Saya bukan lari dari masalah, kalau boleh, saya mahu hadapi semuanya. Tetapi bagi insan yang complicated seperti saya, masalah yang saya maksudkan ialah masalah yang berkaitan dengan hati dan perasaan. Ya, saya sangat lemah apabila berdepan dengan situasi yang melibatkan hati (matters of the heart). Apabila saya suka dengan seseorang, seboleh-bolehnya saya akan lari kerana saya tidak mahu merumitkan keadaan yang telah sedia rumit. Saya tahu agak susah nak difahami kerana saya sendiri pun tidak faham. Selagi saya berada di sini, selagi itu hati saya akan berasa tidak tenteram. Jadi saya perlu berada lebih jauh daripada orang yang saya suka supaya saya dapat melupakan orang itu dan move forward/move on.

Jadi, pada petang tadi, saya telah mengisi dan menghantar borang-borang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat Master di Amerika Syarikat melalui online dan berdoa agar mendapat tawaran secepat yang mungkin. Kalau boleh, saya mahu pergi tahun ini juga, tetapi secara logiknya, saya perlu menunggu sekurang-kurangnya sehingga awal tahun depan. Jadi, mulai dari hari ini, saya akan menghitung hari dengan penuh kesabaran. Ya Allah, permudahkanlah segalanya. Amin.

Saya rasa kamu pasti dapat membuat kesimpulan daripada entri ini bukan?
"The one who wants me, I don't want to. The one who I want, doesn't want me."
