Buku tentang hidup. Random but...

Ada lima buku kesemuanya. Blink – Malcom Gladwell. The Gift – Cecilia Ahern. The Secret Garden – Frances Hodgson Burnett. The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch dan satu-satunya novel yang dibeli kerana kawan, Contengan Jalanan – Hlovate. Tak tahu nak baca yang mana dulu. Tapi akhirnya Contengan Jalanan juga dicapai. Main pilih je. Random. Novel Contengan Jalanan tu baru saja habis dibacanya. Part I – Fend 262 muka surat disambung terus part II – K² 291 muka surat. Total 453 muka surat. Dia memang budak engine, atau engineering nama panjangnya. Kalau boleh semua mesti nak di calculate. Kononnya. Kalau tak kerana weekendyang maknanya tak perlu kerja, mana mungkin nak sentuh buku. Diluar bilik kakak-kakakhousemate masih lagi layan Mentor final Musim 5. Dibiarkan.

Jarang dia nak buat review tentang buku. Tapi buku yang satu ni memang lain. Katanya buku tentang hidup. Tentang pengalaman perjalanan mencari Tuhan. Watak-watak utama yang menghidupkan cerita; Fend, K², Chad, Aidid. Tadi banyak idea nak review fasal buku ni. Banyak yang nak dihuraikan. Tiba-tiba blank. Mungkin sebaik-baik review adalah; baca sendiri dan buat review sendiri. Sebab buku yang sama, membawa makna dan erti yang berbeza, bagi pembaca yang berbeza. Bagi dia, dia betul-betul teringatkan adik lelaki yang sorang tu. Yang minatnya juga pada muzik dan jamming. Tapi belajar Aircraft Engineering. Walaupun belajar Aircraft Engineering, tapi hati dan jiwa tetap setia dengan gitar dan band yang ditubuhkannya entah sejak bila. Since 2000 something pastinya. Memang dia berjiwa muzik dan skate. Tapi...

Tapi... janganlah kerana passion yang dua itu kita skip tanggungjawab yang lima waktu tu. Itu ignorance namanya. Like seriously. Ni mulalah dia nak bagi nasihat panjang lebar kat adik sendiri. Tanpa dipinta. Saja nak bagi advice free. Teringat tagline saifulislam.com; erti hidup pada memberi.

My dear bro, whose name is not mentioned,

The man who decided to change on the 12^th hour dies on the 11^th. Meminjam bait-bait kata dari Contengan Jalanan. Ayat ni momentous . Carrying great weight. Indeed, berfikirlah. Tak jadi akhirnya nak positive mumbling dengan panjang lebar sebab esok dah Isnin. Monday means mayday. It is the toughest day. Undeniably, unquestionably tough. Juga bermakna kena dapat tidur yang cukup untuk mengharungi hari yang kurang seronok nak dibanding dengan hari Jumaat. To you bro, you are indeed very smart. Think sensibly, act wisely. Always. Not sometime. Not for a moment or two.

Pesanan mesra dari Sis lebih pada untuk diri sendiri sebenarnya. Again, the man who decided to change on the 12^th hour dies on the 11^th. Semoga kita semua sempat change on the 8^th hour, or 9^th hour, or 10^th hour, or 10.30^th hour, or to be exact, before our last breath. Cause at the end, life is too short. So live, learn.

Talking is nothing, doing is something. – Hlovate.

p.s: semakin banyak pulak manglish yang digunakan. sigh.

p.s.s: 262+291 equal 553, actually. heh ;)

A Day With Some Reflection

I found myself writing this post during office hour. Definitely not one noble attitude, of course. But I’ve finished the entire task for today and eventually hoping for some more. But sadly, no other task for today, yet it is inevitable. I don’t really have a specific subject, so I’m just gonna write whatever I feel like writing.

FRIENDS

Well, I just missed my friends so much that I feel like crying my heart out whenever I think of them. Truth is I love every single one of them very dearly. I feel blessed to have them in my life. We have had our fair share of ups and downs, faults and fights, rants and arguments, even smiles and laughs. I’m teaching myself to appreciate friends and family every single day. How sweet is that. Haha.. self praising. Now I feel like throwing up ;)

TRAINEE

Hmm... how should I say this? It’s not like the training is tough, yet I keep counting the remaining days of this industrial training. Trying to be a nonchalant lady here, I act tough and strong. But deep inside my heart, I feel so stress and hassle. Nothing like scathed by physical means, it’s just that women’s are most susceptible to affairs of the heart, or is it just me? Maybe.

THANK YOU

Mak, abah, siblings, classmates, roommates, lab mates, all the mates in the world, my imaginary friend ah chong (sounded like a psycho already), lecturers, and relatives, thank you is the least I can say. Really really thank you. For the laugh and good time, for the fun and comfort, for the advice and lesson. But in lieu of it all, for giving me the honour of being part of your life. Hats off to you guys. Salute!

A Day With Half Smiles

It’s been quite some time since I last updated this blog. Heh, typical foreword. Apa-apalah. By the way, I’m so stress that I just want to write something here. Ignore the language since I will be using manglish (malay+english) for this post. I don’t really enjoy manglish but somehow, I’m just gonna use it. Right at this moment I just feel like screaming, kicking, eating dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Tapi tidaklah saya nak tulis semua problem yang berlaku, I don’t think it’s even necessary. Tapi seperti lagu Senyum by Raihan, katanya senyumlah sedekah yang paling mudah, senyum di waktu susah tanda ketabahan, senyuman itu tanda keimanan. Jadi tersenyumlah saya sorang-sorang kat pejabat ni. Lepas tu sambung senyum-senyum lagi, nasib baik tak ramai orang kat ofis ni. Kalau tak, mesti orang ingat dah separuh ‘gone’.

Masalah kewangan, haila... selalu datang tanpa dijemput. Dulu-dulu walaupun sedar duit tu susah nak dicari, tapi saya tetap selalu lupa tentang tabungan masa depan. Biasalah, kalau baru dapat scholarship tu, semua nak dibeli, makan pun nak yang best-best je. Alhamdulillah sekarang dah sedar. Tak mengapalah, lupakan dulu perkara ni. Nanti ada lah solutionnya tu. Masalah kerja, how lah kan. Waktu-waktu ni juga yang Encik Engineer yang supervise tu kena pergi Itali. Dua minggu. Lamanya. Nanti susahlah kalau dia takde. Siapa lagi nak bagi kerja. I can cope with the workload, but no load at all is killing me. Jobless la macam ni. Mengharapkan ada task selama Encik Engineer dan boss ke Itali. Arrivederci. Ciao. Semoga selamat pergi dan pulang ke tanah air.

Tapi semestinyalah ada problem yang lagi dahsyaaatt dari yang dinyatakan tadi. Tapi kita biarkanlah dulu. Biarlah disimpan di dalam hati. Eceh... nak touching pulaaaa. Oh, saya juga baru perasan yang tiada post Hari Ibu tahun ni. Tahun lepas saya sempat juga tulis Because of You... Tapi apaun, this Mother's Day, may we all be reminded of how lucky we are to have one in our lives, and to have experienced their care during theirs. Semoga kita juga akan sentiasa belajar menghargai ibu bukan hanya pada Hari Ibu, tetapi selama mana kita masih bernafas, selagi hayat dikandung badan. Mak sentiasa the queen of my heart, the apple of my eye. To my dearest mom, thank you! I know my thank you is never enough, but still, Terima Kasih Mak! Really, Terima Kasih.
