pantun 5 bait

Seperti hujan membasahi bumi

Tumbuh melata hijau berseri

Kembang berbunga menawan hati

Namun layu di kemudian hari

 

Begitu lah juga diri insani

Lahir ke bumi penuh berahi

Remaja muda tua dilalui

Akhirnya ke liang jua yg abadi

 

Bangkit fajar tenggelam senja

Samalah jua hidup kita

Melayan hidup sekadar ada

Kerna dunia hanyalah lagho

 

Sekadar beringat untuk semua

Kerna kita semuanya rugi

Hidup biar berpada-pada

Bersandar hayat bertali mati

 

Cukup dahulu cerita ceriti

Di lain tika bersambung lagi

Mengenal diri adalah kunci

Pulang pada Ilahi cita diri

 

Buanglah Amarah juga Lawamah

Berpakaian Mulhamah n juga Mutmainah

Nafi n Isbat yang diperhati

Semuga bertemu jalan diredhai

Pernah ii

 Pernah

Ada tempat

Yg mengingati kita

Pernah

Ada Lorong

Yg mengenal kita

Pernah

Ada tingkap

Yg melihat impian kita

Dan jika

Kita tunggu seketika

Di sana

Angin juga membawa

Haruman yg pernah ada

Seolah

Kenangan menanti

Kita kembali

Pada hari

Yg pernah

Kita lalui

Of Magnet n Ghosts

 Of Magnet n Ghosts

And you appear

So clear so dear

Out of nowhere

And suddenly 

You are everywhere

At first subtly

And then obviously

Like a magnet

I become attract

And i can't forget

Smile in your eyes

You are the prize

I must possess

And caress

I think d world of you

In every thot

In the morning dew

You are the one i sought

And everyday when twilight appears

Your voice would ring in my ears

Unexpectedly

You are gone

But like tinnitus

I hear you

Constantly

And i mourn

Unwillingness

For you

Do you still think of me

Like i do you

Like a song

A sad song

You hum but you can't flee

This feeling of blue

And now we have become ghosts

Who forget how to haunt each other

And like faded leaves

We wither

NKc

Mencintai

 Mencintai

Tanpa memiliki

Hanya merindui

Berpisah dalam keterpaksaan

Meragut berjuta harapan

 

Mencintai

Dalam waktu yang bukan

Masanya

Dalam Ketika yang bukan

Saatnya

Menyayat pilu

Tinggal kenangan

 

Muga kelak syurga

Menjadi pentas janji bersemi

Dan kita bertemu kembali

Tintin n Twice

 Just finished reading The adventures of Tintin. Enjoyed it very much as it brought back fond memories of yesteryears while i was in primary school. I first read Tintin’s collections many years ago, 50 years ago probably, borrowing them from my classmates. Many years later, after getting married n my children all grown up, i bought them a few of Tintin’s comic books. They are wonderful read n i am always fascinated by the storylines n the illustrations which are very detailed n depict the real background of the adventures locations. 

As for Twice, as usual Mitch Albom never fails to impress me. The storyline is easy to follow but the way Mitch Albom expresses himself is truly marvelous. Twice tells about a guy who gets to do things twice, and by doing so on many things that he has gone through, he is able to rectify moments that are unacceptable to him and make those moments bearable and to his liking. Like every Mitch Albom’s novel, this one too is a great read n the standout of his writings is that he always presents original ideas. 

I managed to finish Twice in three readings but Tintin took me a longer time since the prints are smaller, (and my eyesight is getting worse too hahaa) but nevertheless the sheer pleasure of reading delights me as always.

For those who tend to fix their eyes solely on their handphones, i advise you guys to read printed materials. It is never late to start reading if you haven't started yet, and for those who do read, choosing a different genre now and then tend to add more knowledge n new experience.

So, start reading now!!

*btw Twice is my birthday present from Lisa n Tintin belongs to Iliya

God's way

- God's way-

We are all lost

Metaphysically

A little

At the very least

Wondering and wandering

What’s next where’s next

Worrying

Should we go salted or unsalted

Should we do this or that

But shouldn’t we just rest

And let Him decide what’s best

Just go with the flow

For today is just no more

Than another page

Just be magnanimous

And courteous

For we are breathing

Sucking the juice of life

When we are not worthy of anything

Not even a speck

 

Thus live this life

God’s way

Birthday wish

 Assalamualaikum wbh to my lovely wife n dearest children. First of all, thanks for the thoughts n suggestions u guys brought up for my birthday gift. I am so thankful n blessed for the noble intention. Nevertheless, here are my wishes n hopes for my birthday. First n foremost, your happiness is at the top of my list. I wish for each one of u to have a wonderful life, full of pleasant moments, n blissful experiences. I would go out of my way to make sure that i can fulfil all your needs n wants to d best of my ability. I also wish all of u to be healthy, zahir n batin, n to always put Allah n Rasul first in life. 

Fatulous, never ever forget to make Ibu happy all d time, albeit even with just a simple phone call to ask of her well-being. 

There will always be hard times n good times in life. As such, keep your chin up n strive for everything that u want n never give up. Things don’t always work out as how we planned them to be. Thus, accept everything with an open mind, never be too overjoyed or too sorrowful. I hope that u all will always be close-knitted n care n love n support each other. 

At my age, i only wish to have a peace of mind, a healthy body, n to be able to do most of the things that i love, without any pressure or stress. I am so thankful to have u all as my children,n Ibu as my wife. Though there would always be something else to ask for now n then, i am contented with what Allah has provided me all this while. Do i have regrets? Of course i do, but they are all in the past, n i can only be grateful for all the experiences that i have gone through. Life is about going forward, though sometimes u need to look back once in a while to make sure u don’t repeat the mistakes n silliness n learn from those times. 

In the end, i always look forward to see my children again, n again, n again, or at the very least, to hear from u from time to time. How grown up u have become, or how successful u are or will be, u guys will always be my little ones @ anak papa. I cherish every moment we have been through together, n hopefully there will be many more memorable moments in life to share, InshaAllah. 

Lastly please know that my love for u guys is unconditional n no string attached hahaa. Please forgive all my wrongdoings . Maaf zahir batin n take caree now. 🤍

Lotta of love, 

papa @ Abang Adek @ nk c

Ps: a novel would be nice as a birthday gift  : )

Though not obliged punnn

Latest readings

 

As always, Mitch Albom never fails to intrigue me

With this one, he links us to God n His mysterious ways of aiding us in our times of need. 

God never leaves us, for He is always with us, every time, every where.

'the stranger in the lifeboat' tells of one who is drifting away in his life, having lost all his confidence towards God, blaming God for all his misfortunes, not knowing that the end of some thing is not actually the ultimatum, for God deals in unthinkable n mysterious ways, as i have stated earlier.

As expected, this novel is a good read, not only because one loves reading, but it is a comfort for the soul too.

Below are books i am currently reading too, taking turns reading each one, pages by pages, absorbing the contents n lessons, hopefully to indirectly help me reach contentment. I am into my fifth month reading them. Hahaa lama dh tuu ek. Well, they are a different kind of reading, as such the pleasure derived from reading is on another level I should say so. Nevertheless reading is a wonderful way to let your mind wander n wonder.

Layannn ..

Brentford 3 Man U 1

 My thought:

How are they being paid thousands of British Pound to dish out that kind of game?

Just embarrassing. Pathetic would be a better choice of word.

Except for Mainoo ( i wonder why Amorim is so intent not to put him in d first eleven) n a couple others, d rest of d players were really shit. 

They didn't even track back n if they did it was half heartedly.

There was no urgency and d pace of d players n positioning was terrible. I can't name anyone because almost everyone was pathetic. U couldn't even stop a ball properly, u couldn't square a ball, ur game was so aimless that no teams from d premier league fear u no more. U guys were so slow in your thoughts n buildup. 

What pattern can we make out from d game?

None, there was none at all, especially when d midfielders got d ball d other players up front n wingbacks were just waiting for d ball when they should have come nearer n asked for it.

Bruno was given d opportunity to convert d penalty but d way he kicked d ball it would have been easier if he were to kick it straight to d keeper, notwithstanding d fact that Brentford keeper was equally good. Bruno was bad, well below his standard.

Looking at d players individually, they are actually excellent in their respective ways n skills but my thought goes to Amorim for his stubbornness in which he always insists d players to adapt to his system but he should be aware too that he needs to tweak here n there n make changes whenever necessary. His system n tactical are too rigid n too plain for everyone to see. If d first half doesn't work out well with regard to d tactic dished out, he should make changes for d second half. But no, he just maintains d ordinary n boring style. After playing d sixth game in d league, there is nothing to be proud of this Man U team. At all. 

Amorim has been given d players he asked for, and time as well, to rebuild d team, with state of d art facilities, but d results are still disastrous. I do not expect miracles to happen overnight but there's no fighting spirit on d field from d players. If u have to lose, at least lose after putting 100% effort. But it was almost nowhere to be seen in d game. Thus? He has to go. As simple as that. Unless his players perform miracles in the coming games, Amorim's stint is over.

U can't even go toe to toe with Brentford, what can one expect when they face d like of Liverpool n so on?

So long Amorim. 

Waiting for it to b good riddance. Honestly.

Mesyuarat Tergempar Doha - sandiwara?

 Mesyuarat tergempar di Doha berakhir dengan mengutuk sekeras2nya tindakan Israel di atas serangan yang dilakukan baru2 ini. Itu saja yg mereka mampu lakukan padahal 54 ketua negara yg berkumpul melawan satu saja entiti Zionis.

Pelbagai retorik dinyatakn tetapi semuanya hambar, contohnya Israel tidak menghormati perjanjian n menyerang wakil perunding dr Hamas dll. Mana pernah Israel mengota kata2 mereka selama ini n secara perbadi, pandangan n kenyataan yg diberikan oleh para pembesar negara2 yg hadir seolah2 menunjukkn mereka ni naif atau berpura2 naif. Jika tiada tindakan fizikal diambil ke atas Israel dlm tempuh kurang dua minggu dr hari ini, mmg trnyatalah mereka yg hadir di Doha hanya pelakun sahaja. Atau lebih tepat lg munafiq.

Gaza yg diserang tanpa henti menghampiri dua tahun n hampir musnah keseluruhannya tiada satu pun pertemuan mahupun mesyuarat diadakn oleh negara Islam untuk mencari jalan penyelesaian. Bantuan pun hanya diberi secara sembunyi2. Tetapi Doha yg baru sekali dihentam dgn bom Israel terus menangis meminta simpati negara Islam n terus mengadakn perjumpaan tergempar yg hasilnya kosong.

Kalau beginilah hasilnya, pada siapa lagi kita letakkan harapan? Umum pun sedar negara2 Islam yg bersempadan dgn Palestin mempunyai kepentingan bersama dgn Israel. Mereka yg hadir di Doha hanyalah sebagai sandiwara sekiranya Israel tidak dikenakan apa2 tindakan dlm masa terdekat.

Benarlah kata2 Rasulullah akhir zaman nanti umat Islam mmg ramai tetapi hanya umpama buih di lautan saja.

Pada Allah saja kita berdoa n berserah harapan. Sesungguhnya semua ini dlm perancangan Dia yg kita tidak mampu mengerti pd ketika ini.
