We All Fail
From Andrew Matthews
We all fail. But, it is not failing that hurts. What hurts is knowing you never gave your best.

Ya ya .. I am back. Will post more frequently from now.

Run ...
Is it the journey or destination? I kinda ask myself that question here and bit today, and this song came up. I think it is both, and the key is to know what is the journey and what is the destination, sebab kalau tak tau destination, atau salah destination, what was the journey worth it?
Dang, I need more sleep.

A Promise Ain't Enough
Interesting title ... the song basically says that promises matter and action do as well.
I think that's a good metaphor for stuff right now, .. I think a lot, but the always stuck at the action part. Am doing another way this year (2024), where I focus on less items, so it easier to do more. Kurangkan barang2 untuk difokus, supaya dapat buat lebih tindakan kepada barang2 yang saya nak buat.

Let's roll 2024!
Kisah Tentang Rafizah 1973-2020
Rafizah Abd Rahman saya ingat adalah begini ...
1. Masuk PPP/ITM Shah Alam, tahun 1991, kursus Bahasa Inggeris track Accelerated.
Hari kelas pertama, sesi ice-breaking, kami bertegur sapa. Beliau cerita tentang pengalaman beliau menghadiri kelas Carnegie selepas SPM 90, yang mengajar beliau tentang study skills.
Sesi drama kelas mana kumpulan beliau membuat sketsa detergent yg sungguh dasat ... salah satu ahli kumpulan beliau masa itu adalah Abdul Razak Ahmad.
2. Berpacaran dengan rakan sebilik 501/11 saudara Razman, masa PPP/ITM
-kereta Honda Accord merah beliau menjadi saksi kisah mereka
-Razman's famous declaration untuk tidak bercouple masa PPP. Turns out he was the first in the room to do so :P
-beliau datang jalan2 ke DC masa winter of 94 dengan Razman, a surprise visit
-kali terakhir saya lihat mereka berpacaran semasa Razman kembali bercuti semasa belajar Master, sekitar hujung 95 atau 96.
3. The famous/infamous trip to Pangkor July 1992
Memang confirm mereka bercouple - Razman dan Fizah
Tangan setan muncul ... budak 501/11 je yang faham joke ini
![]() |
| The Pangkor Trip gang July 1992 |
4. Jumpa dengan beliau dan keluarga di Subang Parade masa first year kahwin (2006), secara kebetulan
Talked for a while, I remembered masa tu kat the ground level floor. Dia kata hubby dia tengah bawak their two girls pi Toys R Us masa tu. :) sadly, that was the last time saw her face to face.
------
On and off, selepas tu, ada jumpa online, FB and LinkedIn, tegur sikit, nothing much. Tapi, she will always be a fond memory.
Salam takziah, Fizah. Semoga kau tenang di sana. Al-Fatihah, Amin.

Erti Kawan Di Syawal 2023
Semalam, sempat beraya dengan dua kawan lama di sekitar klang valley ini. Had a good time la ... walaupun penat sebab cuaca dan jarak yang jauh, ia berbaloi. Kerana Syawal adalah satu masa yang betul2 memberi lebih makna kepada erti persahabatan.
Sejak kebelakangan ini, I am beginning to question/look at my friends that I have. And, remember who they are.

Handling Life Regrets
Handling life regrets can be a difficult and challenging process, but it is essential for personal growth and moving forward with your life. Here are some steps that you can take to handle your regrets and move on:
- Accept your regrets: It's important to acknowledge and accept the regrets you have. Don't try to deny or suppress them, as they will only continue to affect you negatively.
- Learn from your mistakes: Look at your regrets as lessons learned. Identify what went wrong and why. Use this information to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
- Forgive yourself: It's essential to forgive yourself for your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's important to remember that you're only human. Holding onto guilt and self-blame will only hold you back from moving forward.
- Focus on the present: Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on the present. Live in the moment and take steps towards your goals and dreams.
- Take action: Once you've identified the lessons learned from your regrets, take action to implement positive changes in your life. Use the experience to motivate and inspire you to move forward and create the life you want.
- Seek support: It's okay to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist. Talking through your regrets with someone you trust can help you process your feelings and gain a fresh perspective on your situation.
Remember, handling regrets takes time and effort, but it is possible. By accepting your regrets, learning from your mistakes, and taking positive action, you can move forward and create the life you want.

Bye2 Jaja
Hazliza Ismail meninggal malam tadi, 8 pm, kerana sakit kanser. Arwah berasal dari Ampangan, bersekolah rendah di KGV (Seremban), dan menengah di KGV Menengah (Seremban) dan MRSM Jasin (Melaka). Saya kenal arwah semasa bersekolah di MRSM Jasin. Rupa-rupanya, kami bergerak dalam kumpulan sama sebelum bersekolah di Jasin pun, kerana kawan2 arwah di Ampangan, adalah kawan2 saya juga .
Saya tidak rapat dengan arwah, tetapi sepanjang mengenali beliau, yang pasti, beliau adalah insan yang easy-going dan ceria. Kami sekelas semasa tingkatan 5, 5 O. Saya pernah menghadiri wedding beliau dengan seorang rakan, arwah Azri. Pada kami sampai, beliau tengah buat sesi pakaian berhias :) ... masa tu, beliau pakai pesen kimono ;) Masa berjumpa, dia ada bercerita dia melanjutkan pelajaran ke UPM Bintulu, Sarawak, selepas SPM dan pada masa itu, bekerja di kilang Samsung, Senawang, Tidak lupa komen beliau tentang garangnya majikan orang Korea ;)
Saya ingat dua pertemuan terakhir dengan beliau.
Pertama, saya dan rakan saya, Errol, melawat open house rumah baru beliau n hubby di Seri Kembangan, Ketika itu, beliau sudah bertugas sebagai guru di sana, Masa tu, saya dapat tahu yang beliau baru recover from cancer, and dalam remission. This was about satu dekad lepas.
Kedua, saya terserempak beliau di McD Sg Besi (Serdang) drive through, semasa membeli McD. She was sitting at a table bersama seorang rakan Jasin, Homi, dan seorang wanita lain. Saya rasakan depa tengah buat MLM, so saya tak kacau, just nodded at her.
Dan malam tadi, seorang rakan Ampangan text kata arwah telah pergi. Dan setelah saya sebarkan berita kepada rakan2 lain, baru tahu sikit2 apa yang berlaku dengan arwah kebelakangan ini. Beliau betul2 laid low this past few years.
The cliche is true, you miss the good ones when they are gone.
InsyaAllah, see you when we get there, Jaja.

Sabar + Syukur = ? Fog Part 4
Ingat masa saya mengajar dahulu, saya pernah katakan kepada pelajar2 saya bahawa doing nothing is the surest thing ever, gerenti jadi. But, if you take action, it is either you will succeed or fail. Sebab itu la, ramai antara kita jatuh penyakit 'paralysis by analysis' ... too much thinking sampai tak buat apa2.
I am guilty of this as well ... especially during the dark years ... solusi: sabar dan syukur ... ;) bersabar dengan keadaan semasa, dan bersyukur kita ada pilihan.
Buat Pilihan. Tgk Apa Jadi. Learn from apa jadi. Move on.

Apa Pilihan Anda - Batu Besar Atau Batu Kecil?
Hari ini saya nak buat macam2 .. tetapi dengan tanggungjawab yang ada, I can only do so much. Mengingatkan saya pada kisah batu besar, batu kecil dan bekas kaca. Secara ringkas, kita ada bekas kaca, dan sekumpulan batu2 - besar dan kecil. Batu besar adalah kerja/tanggungjawab besar, batu kecil adalah kerja/tanggungjawab kecil. Bagaimana kita nak isi bekas kaca dengan batu besar dan batu kecil secara optimum? Solusinya, kita letak batu besar dahulu, then kita letak batu kecil, untuk mendapatkan solusi optimum.

Life Loves A Tragedy - TK Final Post
Yang menarik is post2 saya yang mendapat sambutan adalah post2 saya tentang pemergian, contohnya post semalam tentang arwah TK. Mungkin, kerana post2 begini saya menulis dengan lebih panjang dan more from the heart.
Arwah sepatutnya 60 tahun ini ... dan nak sambung cerita la, since saya tidak habis tulis semalam, ada teringat sikit2 lagi ... saya tanya dia, kenapa rambut dia hitam saja .. dari dulu saya kenai dia ... baru tau jawapan, rupa2nya memang sebab genetik :) rambut family belah dia mmg hitam dan lebat2 belaka. Saya selalu kata, kalau dia, saya ingat rambut dia hitam dan cacak!
Juga dapat tahu yang arwah Ajak, seorang rakan DagangNet juga adalah BFF beliau rupanya. Arwah Ajak pergi masa musim covid yang lepas, sekitar tahun 2020. Dan kali terakhir saya jumpa arwah TK, sebelum jumpa di KPJ, adalah juga bersama arwah Ajak di kenduri arwah anak Ajak sekitar 2019. Aduh!
Luckily, we keep in touch via Seret Hikers WhatsApp, tapi still ...
Lesson: Kita tidak tahu bila kita akan pergi, ... jika anda peluang berjumpa f2f bersama rakan/org tersayang, jangan lepaskan peluang ...
Sekian.

I Wonder Why ... Fog Clear Part 2
I wonder why ...
I cared about people who never cared about me ...
I thought about how much the blings they have earned compared to mine ...
I thought how married people were happier than moir who is single ...
et al ...
It's your life ... it is clear.. you choose how you want to be in their life, and they have chosen as well ... so live your life ... this for sure, in your next chapter ...
ps/ - this post was partly inspired by a crowdfunding request I got recently ... now am a friend apparently.

The Fog Sudah Clear Sikit2
When you know yourself, half of the battle is won .. bak kata Sun Tzu ... sebenarnya, sejak tak bekerja pada Jan 2022, aku banyak berfikir tentang siapa ini ... who I am, and how did I get there ... yg pasti, den terpaksa ikhlas tentang siapa diri den ..
And I think I may have found it ... and it is probably 90% between the two ears ... my heart is in the right place .. the head is another story ... :P no wonder we had evolution ... if you do not evolve, you will be left behind ...

Yesterdays Paling Tak Produktif
Baru perasan bulan Mac ni, saya tidak produktif menulis post utk MPL. Cuma 6 post sahaja. Why? Bila tidak konsisten, ia akan menjadi inconsistent :P My bad, mungkin sebab saya byk berfikir dan termenung bulan tiga ini.
Sudah hari ke 5, Ramadan 2023. Tgh ikut cara lain berbuka dan sahur. So far so good, mengurangkan carbs n membuang gula dari minuman.
Finally, this song below makes sense ... and I finally get it ..

Little Signals Jadi One Big Signal
Life sends little reminders when you make little mistakes, and really gives you a big one when you ignore the little signals. *Sigh* it happened, a perfect storm in a way, today. A potential loss of a month's pay, a revelation of the boss, and how kalut costs you dearly.
I needed this lesson, but boy it sucks. Again, Andrew Matthews, you are proven right again. The first sentence of this blog post is based on his words.
