Inspirational............ i like this.

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about -the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me. Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jetway, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags.

He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other's face, I heard the father say, "It's so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!" His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, "Me, too, Dad!"

Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son (maybe nine or ten) and while cupping his son's face in his hands said, "You're already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!" They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.

While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or one-and-a-half) was squirming excitedly in her mother's arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father.

The man said, "Hi, baby girl!" as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.

After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, "I've saved the best for last!" and proceeded to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing.

He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed. "I love you so much!" They stared at each other's eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't possibly be.

I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally engrossed I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask, "Wow! How long have you two been married?" "Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those." he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife's face. "Well then, how long have you been away?" I asked the man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile."Two whole days!"

Two days? I was stunned. By the intensity of the greeting, I had assumed he'd been gone for at least several weeks - if not months. I know my expression betrayed me, I said almost offhandedly, hoping to end my intrusion with some semblance of grace (and to get back to searching for my friend), "I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!"

The man suddenly stopped smiling. He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person. He told me, "Don't hope, friend... decide!" Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said, "God bless!" With that, he and his family turned and strode away together.

I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, "What'cha looking at?" Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, "My future!"

GAZA YANG HEBAT ITU.

Dalam kemeriahan masyarakat dunia meraikan pesta bola sedunia (worldcup), dunia seolah-olah terlupa yang dunia masih ada isu yang lebih besar untuk diambil perhatian dan tindakan.

GAZA.

Ya, nama yang cukup sering didengar saban waktu.
Hatta sebelum berlangsungnya worldcup yang menyebabkan kegilaan itu, telah berlaku satu insiden (atau lebih tepat kita sebut sebagai jenayah antarabangsa!) . Insiden serangan ke atas kapal-kapal antarabangsa yang membawa bantuan kepada rakyat Palestin daripada Yahudi Laknatullah forever itu.

Seluruh dunia turut serta dalam bantahan terhadap ZIONIS LAKNATULLAH FOREVER itu. Namun, yang jelasnya, keberangan masyarakat dunia berubah sekelip mata selepas kemunculan WORLDCUP yang tidak lama selepas insiden itu.

Saya pun sedikit terasa. kerana pada mulanya, saya juga turut menyertai kegilaan Worldcup ini. Tetapi, ALhamdulillah, tersedar setelah membaca beberapa penulisan, bahawa isu Palestin ini masih belum selesai. PENGANIAYAAN terhadap mereka masih memerlukan PEMBELAAN. Namun kita leka.

Meski mereka akan terus teraniaya sedemikian rupa, kita juga WAJIB terus memainkan peranan membela mereka. KERANA WUJUDNYA PALESTIN ITU SEBAGAI SATU TANGGUNGJAWAB YANG MENGUJI KITA.

Hanya sepatah dua kata.

Dia,
Berdiri di situ,
Dengan jemputan sepatah dua kata.

Dia,
berdiri di situ,
Dan menjadikannya sepatah dua kata x 1000.
Oh Orang Besar,
Bilakah kau mahu berhenti,
aku sudah lapar...

My journey.

I was listening to this song by 911. The title of the song is MY JOURNEY.
911 used to be my favourite band when I was in my standard school.
MMM... suddenly got inspired. hehe.
Listening back to this song, bring back all the memories i had since zaman sekolah rendah dahulu.
Bau-bau zaman itu masih ada dalam memori.
Memang lagu ini membawa kembali diri ini ke zaman itu.
I miss those times. Saya rindukan waktu-waktu itu.
Anyway, this is the lyric of the song:


Time waits for no one, sure as the tide pulls the ocean
Sure as, the path that's been chosen, cannot be changed
In my life's destination, I searched for the explaination
For some kind of reason, for my sorrow and pain
But in my isolation I learned to listen
To be thankful for the love that I'd been given

[Chorus]
This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn I've laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

In my desperation I swore that never again
Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family
A million tears that I'd cried then began to dry
In the silence of the night time
I had came to realize
A sweet inspiration filled my horizon
Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

[Chorus]
This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn I've laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

I'm going to love each moment, of every day and night
I'll look back to the past with the sweetest smile
For now I realise, I've been given the key to life
I've been kissed by the angel by my side

[Chorus]
This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn I've laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive
To bring my dreams alive
To bring my dreams alive

Doaku buatmu kekasih

Andainya aku bertanya
Padamu tentang bahagia
Di mana nilai setia
Di manakah puncak cinta

Mahukah engkau mengerti
Harapan serupa mimpi
Ianya dapat terjadi
Atau hilang tak berganti

Sejarah mengajar kita
Menjadi lebih dewasa
Meniti arus angkara
Lupakan kisah yang lalu
Teguhkan tugu imanmu
Doaku buat kekasih

Yang dulu usah dirindu
Hilangkanlah dari hatimu
Doaku buatmu kekasih

Yang dulu usah dirindu
Hilangkanlah dari hatimu
Doaku buatmu kekasih


saja2 ku letakkan lagu ini di sini.

Hati yang cemburu.

Saya baru selesai membaca sebuah entry daripada kawan lama saya (masih kawan seperjuanganku) Isnaini Izzati Anak Pakcik Roslan.

Cemburu.

Itulah ayat yang paling tepat menggambarkan perasaan saya apabila membaca entry beliau itu.

Ikan kerisi, buah lai, dan abah. Itulah tajuk entry yang menyebabkan hadir cemburu di hati.

Kenapa ya?

Sebab sudah lama hati ini tidak berperasaan setiap kali melihat apa-apa benda yang berkaitan dengan orang-orang kesayangan saya. Apa yang sudah berlaku kepada hati saya? Sudah semakin keras kah? sudah melupakan mereka kah?

Saya masih merindui mereka.

Mereka masih di hati saya.

Saya masih menyayangi mereka...

Looking back at the past few years I spent with my dear husband.
Those were the times where I live in heaven.
And I promise you my husband that those times will never become “were”,
But it will always be “are”.
The times will always be “the gift” for us,
A specific gift for us,
that’s why I called it “the gift”,
I love you…And…Thank you for loving me.
