Blogs

"I believe the term "blog" means more than online journals. I believe a blog is a conversation. People go to blogs to read AND write, not just consume" (Micheal Arrington)

I had fun today, twice in a row my Saturdays were filled with social activity, lunch, and meeting new friends. And blogs actually brought us together, called it an interesting twist of faith but jumping into blogs has given me the opportunity to expand my social network. And finally meet my virtual friends in flesh and blood, cool!!! 

Thanks "Snuze", great food and awesome company, and "Ri" lets hang out together one of this day, it was nice meeting you, but I am sorry it was only a brief encounter. (",)

Talk to the hand

I am applying this rule today.
Too much emotional outbreaks, even I can't handle. People are getting overly emotional in everything and anything.
BUT, if they give me attitudes, TALK TO THE HAND for all I care.

"Menjaga hati"

Aku pun tidak pasti kenapa aku sangat - sangat alergik akan perkataan tersebut, mungkin kerana kebanyakkan pertengkaran atau perselisihan faham aku bersama rakan - rakan ku menggunakan perkataan tersebut sebagai menjustifikasikan tindakan masing - masing. Acap kali aku disuap akan "Aku berbuat demikian, kerana aku sayangkan kau, aku hanyalah menjaga hati kau". Dan acap kali aku terasa seperti tamparan di pipi ku, terdetik dihati ku "Aku tidak pernah meminta hati ku dijaga, cukuplah dengan berterus terang". Kerana kekerapan perkataan tersebut digunakan, aku merasakan ia seperti jalan mudah bagi melepaskan diri daripada memberi penjelasan yang sebenar. Bagi aku perkataan tersebut tidak perlu digunakan sekiranya kebenaran diberitahu pada permulaan sesuatu perkara. Kebahagian rakan - rakanku adalah sesuatu yang senantiasa ku doakan, dan satu kegembiraan bagi ku. Andaian bahawa aku akan terasa tidak sepatutnya wujud, seolah - olah aku hanya mendoakan kesedihan dan ketidakbahagiaan seseorang yang bergelar rakan, kawan ataupun sahabat.

Kebenaran hanyalah pahit untuk sementara waktu, kepedihan ditipu adalah satu memori yang akan kekal. 

My first attempt to write in BM, it is harder than it seems.. (",)

Looking up

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. 

Without the rain, there would be no rainbow" 

(G.K Chesterton)

Appreciation

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing : It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well" (Voltaire)

My Saturday

Last Saturday, I went to meet my two friends, just for lunch and to catch up on each other. I went by commuter, just so that I can do a bit of reading. I read Taxi by Khaled El Khamissi, an Egyptian writer. It was about Egypt social and political standing from taxi drivers point of views. There were 58 short stories of his encounter with taxi drivers from different background and story to tell. A trip of 11/2 half proven to be productive, at least the book and also my mp3 managed to seclude me from a crowded commuter fill of people.  

Meeting my friends was the highlight of the day, talking, chatting, laughing over plates of sushi. The topics varied from all level of issues, some I was familiar with, others just made me smiled and engrossed in watching two friends exchanging points of views of things they are passionate and well verse off. I had fun that Saturday. I finished the book during my trip back to Seremban, and I continued reading the book that was given to me as gift by a friend who still makes my heart flutters, and I enjoyed so much the company of a new found friend whom I am fortunate enough to get to know through the wonderful world of Internet. Such a rare friend indeed.

Thank you guys...lets do it again some other day.

Choices

A friend said to me that my life trump any telenovela. When thinking about it, she was right. Sometimes I do feel that my life or the world I am currently living is like an Indonesia soap opera, or series that I really despise because of the plot itself and sometimes the surprise as well as the climax that can be consider a bit absurd.Due to the reason that it is a favorite past time activity of my mother and my siblings, I do sometimes sneak a glimpse of the episode, and I can hear my thought saying "Owh, come on!!!!! or biar betul!!!"

Lately the conflict or drama in my life intensified from all directions,work, family as well my personal life. Conflict at my workplace involving me and my boss is on going. I guess professionalism is being put aside when emotion is in play, forgiven but not forgotten. As for my family, they will find ways to drive me nuts, I love them dearly but sometimes even love needs to take a break, and my personal life has been a bit interesting in a very freakish way, being stalked by someone who can describe every inch of me, creepy isn't it? 

My life is really like a drama, I think most of us do have the same view at times. The differences would be there are no awards to be won, the dialog is unscripted and no director to shout at the end  "Owkey! It's a wrap, Cut! and print!"

As William Shakespeare once said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages".
