A moment of relaxation

30th of May 2009. It was sunny and there was no sign of rain whatsoever. What else can you describe the weather as? Perfect? Superb? And everything synonym with it of course =). A great day for a picnic a.k.a barbecue. We had that yesterday. It was fantastic. Especially the food. Although it was a little bit burnt, whatever that can be filled into our stomach, is considered as tasty and delicious. I can't say anything about the cooking as I am not the man behind the grill (want to keep my shirt off the smell of smoke). I was assigned as the photographer on that day. I know it might not be great photos, but hey, pictures say a thousand words aite? Location=a pond near the M2 hostel. The place is very strategic yet magnificent. The view is nice (I mean the environment, not the ones who were sunbathing). Went there around 10 and returned at 3. After eating, me and Fuad went to the other end of the lake to rent i-dont-know-what-it-is-called-thing (see picture below) to explore the lake more. Had a great time my friends. Sorry to those who weren't invited. Next time we'll organize a larger one. Huhu =.=' :).

First round of chicken

Apakah signifikannya tarikh-tarikh ini?
Mengapakah disusun sebegitu rupa?
Persoalan bertubi-tubi, adakah ia siapa? adakah tarikh semata-mata?
Tarikh lalu hanya sejarah, meskipun orang lupa,
Lupa akan sejarah, perkara biasa, sekeliling kita.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adakah kita ingat?
Pabila ibu melahirkan kita?
Atau kita terlalu sibuk,
Meminta hadiah, bersama yang lain?

Tidakkah kita ingat,
Pada ketika itu, pada detik itu,
Seorang insan bernama ibu,
Mengerah segala kudrat dan kekuatan,
Menghasilkan kontraksi, menahan sakit dan keperitan.

Semua insan tidak sempurna,
Sifat lupa tak lari ke mana,
Sekadar peringatan kepada semua,
Tanpa ibu siapalah kita.

A matter of thought

"Though calculus is hard to do, to be good and make others feel good about you is harder. Especially when u had hurt the person before"
-Anonymous

This quote is one of the results from my daily free time activity-blog hopping :). A very catchy quote indeed, since I might have hurt someone either directly or indirectly. And true, if you've tried hard, hard enough for that person to feel at ease with you again, it is almost impossible. A scar inside might not be seen, but it can not be cured even by the best doctors in the world. So, now, I would like to apologize, for every wrong doings that I did, to everyone. I know that this is not sufficient at all (hey, everyone can type nice words and put it into their posts right?), but this actually comes from the bottom of my heart. I hope that this will be the first step for me in becoming a better person in front of everyone, my relatives, friends and the community. Thank you :)
