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 ...

saja :P

ps/ - this post was partly inspired by a crowdfunding request I got recently ... now am a friend apparently.

I Have Spoken ... What?

 I have spoken. When you are done talking, do the action. Itu yang akan membuahkan hasil, at least ada feedback, good or bad.

Truly yours is at a junction ...

I have spoken.

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 ...

:P

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 ..

Yesterday got nothing for me.....

Lirik lagu


Yesterday, there was so many things
I was never told
Now that I'm startin' to learn
I feel I'm growin' old
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Time just fades the pages
In my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket
And no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along
With no time to plant my feet
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
If we'd all just let them be
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me
Yesterday there were so many things
I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday
Yesterday

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.

Fail to Plan is Planning To Fail

 Satu perkara yang saya sangat2 bersyukur ialah pada umur yg mahu setengah abad, am still learning new things. And, one of the best lessons, is the title of this blog post. Failing to Plan, is planning to fail.

It is simple.

1. What is the outcome?

2. What are the processes to ensure the outcome?

3. Process in detail? -planning-

4. Execute the plan, according to the schedule.

No wonder James Clear kata it is all about the systems.

All You Need Is To Move

 Nasihat James Clear 


"Before you throw more time at the problem, throw more focused action at the problem. You don’t need more time, you need fewer distractions."

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

"Patience only works if you do.

Doing the work + patience = results.

Planning to work + patience = you're just waiting."

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

"Momentum goes both ways.

Don’t move, feel sluggish. Start moving, feel like moving a little more.

Don't talk, feel timid. Start chatting, conversation gets a little easier.

Don't ship, feel stuck. Start creating, ideas begin to flow."


All you need is just a little patience

Bila Dah Buat, Baru Percaya

 Kadang2, kita perlu buat dahulu, baru percaya ia menjadi. Kalau bayang2, fikir2 ... without action, you don't know whether it works or not. Learn/feedback from the doing, not the thinking I guess , is what I am saying.

Buat dulu!

Signal Kecik2

 Dalam menjalani kehidupan, kadangkala, bila kita fikir tentang nak buat sesuatu, life akan hantar signal kecik2 untuk mengiyakan atau menidakkan keputusan itu. 

Dan, hari ini, life sent me one of these little signals. Just a reminder for me to stick with the plan for the rest of my life.

Redha With Lost

 Pagi tadi aku tulis ...

"We cannot change the past, but we can start today to make a better tomorrow " -limpbizkit-

Tadi, ada berita tentang kejayaan perlantikan seorang pelajar ex-Jasin sebagai Pengarah Hospital made me angry about the past again. It awoken one of the more painful episodes of my school years and the rage returned. The rage of the scars of the wounds that have healed.

Life is not fair. I get it. And this episode reinforced that statement, way back in 1990.

And LP latest single 'Lost', released with new Meteora 20 year anniversary box set said it all ... 

Lost by LP



Just a scar somewhere down inside of me

Something I can not repair

Even though it will always be

I pretend it isn't there (This is how I feel)

I'm trapped in yesterday (Just a memory)

Where the pain is all I know (This is all I know)


I'm lost in these memories

Living behind my own illusion

Lost all my dignity

Living inside my own confusion


But I'm tired, I will always be afraid

Of the damage I've received

Broken promises they made

And how blindly I believed (This is all I know)


I will never break away (Can't break free)

'Cause when I'm alone


I'm lost in these memories

Living behind my own illusion

Lost all my dignity

Living inside my own confusion

*sigh*

Berkat Rezeki Niaga

Thought about this stuff today. Penting juga especially bila kita berniaga. Always thought it was a grey area ... in the end, semua adalah mengenai nilai. Adakah nilai yang kita berikan dalam pertukaran berbaloi kepada si pembeli? Buyer beware.

Gigi Mengajar Kita Tentang Syukur

 The pain is still there .. on and off. Reminded me of a phrase I used to hear a lot during my 'religious' years. 

“Manfaatkan lima perkara sebelum lima perkara :

[1] Waktu mudamu sebelum datang waktu tuamu,

[2] Waktu sehatmu sebelum datang waktu sakitmu,

[3] Masa kayamu sebelum datang masa kefakiranmu,

[4] Masa luangmu sebelum datang masa sibukmu,

[5] Hidupmu sebelum datang kematianmu.”

------

Wisdom eh ... aku bersyukur padamu ....

Apa Doktor Gigi Kata ...

Ada buat lawatan jumpa doktor gigi hari ini, sebab sakit gigi. Rupanya, gigi perlu ditampal. Dan juga, beliau beri beberapa nasihat tentang pemakanan, demi keadaan gigi sekarang. Kurangkan K n K katanya. Uwaa ... Keropok n Kerepek .. kerana sudah berumur, our teeth is getting brittle, and mine looks similar, Juga, rajin gosok gigi, floss dan berkumur. Flossing not my thing, but the other two is now a must before sleeping now.

In summary, am showing my age a bit. Oh, father time.

Happy CNY.

Bila Tiba Masa, Buat Sahaja

 Ada pekerjaan yang kita tidak berapa gemar tetapi perlu buat. Sebab kalau tidak buat, akan lebih mudarat and sooner or later, mesti buat jugak, dan dalam keadaan yang lebih sukar/tidak menyenangkan. Contoh, basuh pinggan di sinki, basuh bilik air/toilet. Tidak apa yang mahu makan/minum dengan peralatan kotor atau menunaikan hajat in a dirty environment.

Jadi, bila tiba masa, buat sahaja. Dan, selalunya, tugasan itu tidak seteruk mana yang kita sangkakan, dan rasa puas hati melengkapkan tugasan. We suffer more in imagination than reality selalunya.

Dream On bak kata Aerosmith

 Bermimpi itu senang. Berusaha ke arah mimpi adalah satu perkara yang lain. Kata kunci adalah tindakan dan usaha untuk mencapai mimpi. Jika tidak, maaf ... hanyalah omong2 kosong. A reminder for me I learnt today.

Mendengar album pertama Aerosmith, Aerosmith. Title post ini datang dari single 'Dream On' lagu ke 3 dari album ini. Album pertama mereka ... raw, vokal Steven Tyler yang sungguh berbeza, tapi ada feel .. not a bad intro into Aerosmith.

What I Like About Wisdom

 Today, I learnt a lesson about wisdom. Wisdom comes when you have achieved it. Bila dah dapat, baru sedar. Would have liked it to come earlier, but hey, different age for different people.

I can do it. I just think too much of it , instead of doing it.

Hidup Lebih Holistik Untuk Berubah

 Tengok satu video Robert Greene membuatkan den sedar selama ni azam tahun baru atau self improvement memang tak menepati sasaran. Bila fokus satu bahagian, sepatutnya kita tengok bagaimana bahagian hidup yang lain juga akan terkesan dengan fokus ini. Perubahan has to look at the whole picture.
