Dua coretan tentang Zara, sempena birthday dia

Bila confirm Linda positive pregnant dengan Zara, my first word was "Alamak" :P

First time hantar baby Zara ke baby-sitter, masa tu dia berumur dua bulan, the mummy (Linda) cried buckets of tears. :D

Happy 17 Girl!

Da Discipline

 Have the dscipline to do the little things that you don't like, and you can spend your life doing the big things that you like.

- Andrew Matthews -

I am relearning this lesson again,

underrated sangat lagu ini

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.

Apa jadi? Axl sings it below ... :P

Live in Tokyo

My Graduation

 Perhaps, I have graduated finally from Jasin. Last weekend was kind of about it.

The inspiration

Little Things

From Andrew Matthews

Have to do the little things that you do not like, so you can spend doing the big things that you do like.

its always the little things

Fail

 We all fail.

But it is not failing that hurts. What hurts is knowing you didn't give your best.

Andrew Matthews, Happiness in a Nutshell, page 6.

sometimes, it crawls ....

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.

-the music video

-this song became famous as it featured in Varsity Blues movie soundtrack

Oops Up ...

Oops up inside your head ... gotta boogie ... once you take action, baru things mula boogie2 ...

Penting untuk mulakan dan habiskan ..

It's like a day, when nothing goes your way ... But you stick it out anyway, cos you are a champ.

Yep.

 

 

rock the video above :)

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.

the video

Rock n Roll Star

 Who are you? You are the most important person in your life. You gotta take care of yourself.

Dang1 You are a rock and roll star!!

Yes, I am :D

On Our Own

 You want something, you gotta do it yourself ... and so begins today's song ... yep, learnt that line today again ... it is all up to you ... know what you can control and work on it ...

Came from Ghostbuster 2 ;)

the official video by Bobby Brown

Kisah Tentang Rafizah 1973-2020

April 1 2020, 3.25 pm, arwah pergi ...


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.
