invictus

Out of the night that covers me,



Black as the Pit from pole to pole,


I thank whatever gods may be


For my unconquerable soul.






In the fell clutch of circumstance


I have not winced nor cried aloud.


Under the bludgeoning of chance


My head is bloody, but unbowed.






Beyond this place of wrath and tears


Looms but the Horror of the shade,


And yet the menace of the years


Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.






It matters not how strait the gate,


How charged with punishments the scroll


I am the master of my fate:


I am the captain of my soul.

~William Ernest Henley

the finer things in life

Kelab bola terkemuka menang tipis.


Anak kecil dalam busana rasmi pasukan nasional. Air muka penuh bangga sambil melangkah ke tadika, sambil di pimpin neneknya.


Langkah terhenti sebentar. Menoleh. Oh, datuk masih terkapai-kapai. Menggigil tongkatnya, perlahan-lahan kaki selangkah demi selangkah, terketar-ketar.


Dan anak kecil tadi yang masih bangga dalam busana rasmi pasukan nasional tadi memimpin pula datuknya.

What a scene to witness, on a Friday morning.

Now that's what you call, the finer things in life.

Not a thousand dollar bag.

Not the latest gadgets, iPhones or iPads.

Or a half million dollar car. Not even a million dollar one.

or a 3 billion dollar yacht

gold and platinum plated! ada tulang T-Rex tadi. but what's the point?
just because you have the ongkos ek. 

It is the little things, that we tend to take for granted. Like the scene earlier. 

And we may wonder if that rich anonymous Malaysian businessman have someone dear to hold his hand when he's as frail as that atuk, eh?

mimpi indah

Suami di tawarkan sambung belajar, dijanjikan tali ke arah arena pengurusan selepas tamat.
Di tanah asing yang ada 4 musim.
Demi mengikut suami saya ambil cuti tanpa gaji semaksimum yang dibenarkan.
Sementara tidak bekerja saya ambil job translating atau pun designing untuk dapat wang saku. Sambil-sambil tu ikut kursus jahitan/design profesional.
Cuti semester atau cuti musim panas kami anak beranak bersiar-siar.
Sambil-sambil tu ahli keluarga pun bertambah.


Syurga!

for rohkmah

being a mother

many times a night while nursing Ali or changing him or soothing him I would wonder, how did my own mother survive through 5 kids?  It made me think about all the trials she had faced raising us. 

Respect.
