Kenangan paling manis tentang beliau, apabila ibu kata beliau positif (pregnant) dengan dia, my first words were , "Alamak!" ... hahaha .. aduhai :P

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.

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."

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.

Signal Kecik2
Dalam menjalani kehidupan, kadangkala, bila kita fikir tentang nak buat sesuatu, life akan hantar signal kecik2 untuk mengiyakan atau menidakkan keputusan itu.

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 ...
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*

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.”

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.

Hidup Lebih Holistik Untuk Berubah
