1) Bawak family ke Melaka, specifically, Banda Hilir Melaka. Pi ke sana sekitar tengahari, traffic heavy, tapi ok ... about 2 jam. Balik tu .. aduhai ... gatal2 bawak jalan jauh yg kurang jam ... Melaka-Sg Udang-Masjid Tanah - Linggi - Rantau - Mambau -- highway ke BBB .. 4 jam!
2) Yang kami lawat .. Rumah Upside Down, Menara Taming Sari, Muzeum Samudera dan naik Melaka River Boat Cruise
Antara gambar2 jalan.
3) Ongkosnya ok2 la ... tapi, keseronokan tu priceless :D
1) Tony Robbins pernah berkata, salah satu perkara yang paling senang untuk mengubah hidup ialah untuk menaikkan tahap piawaian anda ... raise your standards.
2) The obstacle becomes the way. I faced an obstacle with my son, H and I learnt that it was an obstacle which lead to me some new insights in raising H.
1) The voice of Vader and Mufasa passed away siang tadi (waktu Malaysia). Senang cerita, oranag seangkatan dengan den pasti ada kenangan tengok cerita dia atau dengar suara dia.
a simple bio of him
Antaranya ...
The Jack Ryan movies - Admiral James Greer
Big Bang Theory guest starring
Mamat ni lejen!
"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
- one of my favorite Star Wars scenes ever
2) Fokus dengan apa yang ko boleh buat sekarang, bukan apa yang ko wish ko boleh buat.
While driving to wedding Nadiah anak Ace, these thoughts came to me
1) Be strict with yourself, but tolerant with others.
While thinking about the people who did not come, I realized that I set my standards to them, and it was not their problem. This phrase was mooted by Ryan Holiday, and I really did not understand until today.
2) Keep your standards, let others choose theirs
Related to number 1), you do your standards. Because your standards affects you.
3) Who are my circle of friends?
I read a friends's FB post and made me think hard about my circle. Penny for future thoughts.
4) Never knew there was a jamming session with gendang and kompang is possible
The story I heard from Mr Azran, about that jamming session, during the merisik sessions for his kids, was hilarious and mind blowing.
Saya sedang makan di kedai makan. Habis makan, saya naik kereta alza saya, tetapi rupa2nya its not alza saya. Salah alza. Pusing nak htr balik, on the way, berhenti tepi jalan. Ada lihat dan terdengar sekumpulan lelaki kecek kelate yg i dont understand.
Then, my hp alarm berbunyi ...
--> tidak pasti apa maksudnya, tp yg pasti, bermimpi ni maksudnya tidur nyenyak, so okaylah tu
2)
"The way is shut ... it was made by those who are dead .... " .. tgk video kt bawah.
Today memang family time .. tp mcm2 main in my head la. Have to write it all down. Am I tired? I think so la ... life reboot in order me thinks.
One thing I like about the Olympics, as it reminds me, is the triumph of the human spirit .. and the highs and lows of life. Gotta keep the focus and effort, in spite of those inner voices.
Let's have a good day tomorrow.
Video
who do you need, who do you love, when you come undone ..
Jaga2 with your inner voice.. mcm cerita keretapi saya tempohari, ia boleh menolong atau menghalang kita. Mana sumber inner voice itu? always be aware
Use systems, not goals... mcm kata2 James Clear dalam buku Atomic Habits. Saya sedang menguji sistem blogging yang baru ini, and so far so good. Bagaimana? nanti den cerita la ..
Setiap malam, semasa membuat dobi kering, saya akan baca buku Daily Stoic oleh Ryan Holiday, satu entry harian, dan post kesimpulan saya mengenai entry tersebut di dalam notion saya, di sini.
2 hari bawak kereta ke PJ Sek 13, ketika rush hour pagi. NOT fun at all.
In times of stress, keep it cool and don't go to the other side. It is what it is. Keluhan dan regret tidak akan membawa ke mana-mana.
Yang menarik ialah membaca pujian2 kepada arwah JayJay setelah pemergian beliau beberapa hari lepas. When someone is gone, baru you heard dem tributes. Hmm... manusia mati meninggalkan nama I guess.
When wisdom aka insights datang, it really datang :P Again, kita tak boleh mengubah masa lepas, tapi kita boleh mencorakkan lagi masa hadapan. Keep the faith, dan jangan layan kata2 negatif sendiri, yang sentiasa akan berkumandang.
Hari ni, as I am doing kerja2 as usual, cerita 'The Little Engine That Could', asyik bermain2 di kepala.
Ini yang saya ingat ..
There was a little train engine that was the slowest train in the station. He was always looked down by other engines, as he was slow, and that made him sad.
One day, while he was on the rail, he listened to what his wheels was saying. His wheels were saying, "Take Your Time, Take Your Time", repeatedly. Oh, that is why I am slow, he thought. So he continued, as usual. A few days later, he listened to his wheels again. He heard the same thing, that he heard last time, so he continued on his journey, arriving late as usual. The next trip, he told himself that he wanted to really listen to his wheels, to see whether what was he really listening is true. The next trip, he listened carefully. Strange, he thought, there were no words. Silence. He felt better, and started to move faster. After a few moments, he heard a whisper. The words became louder and louder. It was " Hurry Up! Hurry Up! ", and it was repeating over and over again. The train moved faster and arrived early at his destination. From then onwards, all he heard from his wheels were "Hurry Up, Hurry Up", and he was never the slowest train again.
Hari ini genap pemergian arwah setahun. Sigh ... do I miss him? yeah, a bit ... especially masa jalan2, or having fun ... wished he was around, to add his cheekiness ... tapi, dah redha I guess ..
Pergi melawat kubur arwah di Seremban... a pleasant surprise dapat bertembung dengan my parents :) ... dapat la tolong depa kemas kubur arwah sedikit. I think they miss him more, which is perfectly understandable.
Hari ini lepak dengan Taufik, masukkan alarm baru ke kereta Myvi. Kerja2 tu mcm biasa la ... tp yg penting ialah menghabiskan masa dengan seorang sahabat lama. Thanks boy :)
Read this interview interview kt Guitar World with Gilby Clarke. Teringat zaman dia main rhythm guitar with Guns and Roses. Oklah, he was good during the live shows.
The two videos bawah ni, interviews with Gilby are nice.
part 1
part 2
nice live performance with Slash - lagu Wild Horses cover -
Den kembali untuk menulis, setelah ada tujuan untuk menulis :P oh ya .. check out dokumentari 'This Is Johan' at VIU. Best weii... esp, buat peminat2 Too Phat. Ada kt sinisini.
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
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.
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 ...
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.
