Continuing the adventure

Some of you might think i'm love drunk. Yes I am. But of course, there are things that we have to prioritise in life so we get things done proper. Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah, my summer break has ended. And i'm due to return to Birmingham tomorrow night. It'll be a sad parting. Cause When you're just so stuck to people and the things that you see and do everyday, you tend to miss them.

Let this new semester, new year bring new lessons and opportunities to succeed in spiritual, physical and mental factors. Being successful isn't easy. Wanting to be is simple. Not impossible.

In short, i'd just like to thank all my friends, family and loved ones for a wonderful summer this year. It's been great. From wonderful weddings to great hang outs. Thank you.

A lot of things

There's been so many things happening in my life recently. There's been good, bad and even things that I still can't believe happened. Many of which I sometimes want to share here, but at times are better lived in my heart and mind. I hope you'd understand. There are just things that I can say. Not because I'm ashamed or embarrassed, but there are just no words to attain that magical thought I have in my mind.

I know for sure that I love what's going on. I've got someone who loves me. And I love her too. I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit it for I really do love her. She plays such a huge part in my life. The small little details that make my life just so much better. She brightens up my days when the weather looks literally gloomy. Or just metaphorically gloom. Whenever we look eye to eye, I feel really guilty for putting her in such a terrible position. Having to wait for me to return from overseas. A long time to wait, i've got to clear that one out. 9 months. That's if I return within that period. I pray to Allah and hope that we would keep loving each other and understand each other better. I know this isn't hard for the both of us.

When i see her face, she smiles like there isn't anything bothering her. That smile which isn't fake. A bright one at that. Just looking at her makes my world feel so much better. Specially when you're used to seeing sad and despair. Her beautiful face just races through my head whenever I feel like problems coming my way. She is somewhat an antidote. A potion. A spell to help me put away curses on my head.

Funny thing, i've never really written such things. I can be myself whenever I think of her. Not ashamed at what I do. And just blasting out at things. Never before. Being alive. Yeah. That's it. Alive. She waits for me. Being patient when I take so long. She's there for me. Whenever I need someone. To love, hold and love again. I don't know if looking at her on the screen and trying to get to her means I'm crazy. The funny faces she makes, just to make me feel better. The funny things she does to make me laugh. To smile. I'm never gonna get any better.

We've spent magical moments together. Though they were short. I cherish each and every one of it. Having to pick you up from the station. And listening to your cheeky stories of our travels in the wee early mornings, just to come and see me. Having dinner with you and talking about what life means to you. Your family, friends and of others. Holding your hand and just getting lost in a mall where i'm so familiar with. Till the moment we say goodbye and look each other in the eye. And wait for the next time we meet again.

But this time my dear, it wont be easy. But i know we'll pull through. Be strong. And I will too. InsyAllah.

Always and Always.

I love you.

Small update

Wonderful day today. Above are me, my mum and brother Had a great
time at Kampachi, the Japanese restaurant at the Pavilion today. Lunch
was good. Had loads of stuff. Can barely write them. Haha. Thanks to
papa for the treat. And we went because Syakirah scored a distinction
for her Grade 2 piano test recently. I can't be more proud.

Me and Q are having a wonderful time together. Enjoying every moment
we can spare together. Nonetheless I'll be leaving next week. For a
year of adventure. And insyaallah if God wills, of good prospect in
getting a place doing the thing I love. Creative thinking. And of
course working with people.

Me and Q are moving on strong. Alhamdulillah. As you've seen my
previous posts. Thanks for the wishes guys. I hope Allah will ease
whatever comes our way insyaallah.

This 30th will be our first month anniversary. Alhamdulillah. It's
been great. Thank u sayang.

Salam.

Woah!

That's just. Wow.

Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya!
Went to gramp's house today. Everyone was there alhamdulillah. Except for Jijo, cause she had to follow her husband back to Johor yesterday. Other than that, everything was like usual.

For me, it was a memorable morning. Me and my family had our forgive and forget session before everyone came in. It's a very emotional session I must say. To admit that you've done so much fault and ask forgiveness from the person in front of you, specially your parents and siblings in never an easy thing. Ego, pride and all such has to be thrown away. If possible forever. I've asked to be forgiven for all the mistakes that i've done. Whether I mean it or no. Whether I knew I did it or no. Whatever the cause, I humbly ask to be forgiven. Start a new. Fresh from the starting line. Not to say we have to repeat the mistakes that we've done before!

I am truly thankful that I am able to still celebrate Eid back home in Malaysia. Unfortunate for my friends back in the UK and other parts of the world. Stay strong. I'll be heading back to Birmingham soon. 30th to be exact. Kinda feeling the pull now. Been three months since I got back home. Felt so soon!

Anyway I'm gonna write more soon. Really sorry for not updating as usual. My sincere apologies. How was your Eid? Hope you had a good one.

Allah bless. Salam.

Cake?

This is half done. She stayed all night doing these for Raya. Hard
core chef man. Hehe. It looks pretty yummy. Can't wait to see what it
looks like when it's all done. :)

Proud of you.

Just you

How I wish it would be easy for us. But obviously it wont. So i'm not gonna lie that it's gonna take every heartfelt gut and emotion in me to keep us going. And i'm not gonna let us go. It's gonna be a tough fight between me and ME.

Looking at you in pictures. Pictures that are much more vivid in my heart, just keeps me going. You're just so beautiful in my eyes and heart. You're that puzzle which just fits the whole quiz. Making everyday a more wonderful thing to look forward to. I say my thanks and Alhamdulillah to Allah for you.

I love you.

Selamat Hari Raya

Wishing all Muslims around the world a wonderful and happy Eid Fitr.

May this Ramadhan bring us great blessings and memorable lessons we won't forget. Personally, I find people who rejoice Eid like as though they went to battle are just a little too much. But humans. =)

Again, just wishing you the most wonderful Eid with your family and friends.

Perlu Kamu

Glad to know i'll be meeting you tomorrow. Been waiting to see you again since last. Like what we said "tidur tak kenyang, makan tak lena" haha.

Anyway just after Tarawikh prayers, Papa wanted to use my phone to check the Calendar. So i gave him the phone, and my brother unlocked it. Tada! Messages which aren't supposed to be seen were exposed. So brightly some more ok. Haha. It was quite a funny scene. They were making fun of me of course. But obviously papa asked pretty relevant questions. Questions which I could just sum up to form a 'Green Light'.

Alhamdulillah, one of my worries have been overcome. Prayer answered alhamdulillah. Papa and mama seem to have faith in me that I might make this work. Of course, then came the 2 minutes lecture on the importance of priority in studies and etc. InsyaAllah papa and mama, I'll never forget my promise to you.

She's a sweetheart. My sweetheart. I know it sounds pretty lovey dovey. Having someone who puts a smile on my face all the time is just priceless. Someone i can count on. And someone who would tolerate my stupidity and lame jokes. Thank you for holding my hand when I need someone to guide me in tough times. Thank you sayang.

With Love.

Toi Plus Moi

Je T'aime my love :)

While wanting to write something that is so superfluous, something exaggerated, I really cant find the words to describe what is in my heart. Gimmicky and lame as it may sound. This must be what it's like to be in love. Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah for all that you are.

Cinta itu Indah

Tak Pernah Aku Membayangkannya
Bila Insan Sedang Patah Hati
Kali Ini Ku Rasakan Sesungguhnya

Siang Hariku Bagaikan Malam
Pelangipun Berwarnakan Kelam
Inikah Yang Dinamakan Patah Hati

Tak Ingin Kujalani Cinta Yang Begini
Yang Kutahu Cinta Itu Indah
Tak Ingin Kurasakan Jiwa Yang Tak Tenang
Kumau Kau Tetap Disisiku

Dan Tak Ingin Kurasakan Jiwa Yang Tak Tenang
Kumau Kau Tetap Disisiku

Siang Hariku Bagaikan Malam
Pelangipun Berwarnakan Kelam

Beautiful song. Really. I'm loving this song and it just sinks in. Beautifully put together.


So what is it like to be in love? I've always wondered. What love struck actually is like. What sort of warmth people feel when there's someone there beside him/her all the time. Or a person who's willing to go the distance, together forever.


Ku Mau Kau Tetap di sisi-ku Puteri =)

hey you!

to that person who's watching .

<3

:)

Been so long...

It's been in the longest time that I last felt it. That sense of
importance and l someone to be there for you. Before this I thought it
might be just me. And I was right. It was me. I couldn't understand
what it was. To think that I knew what it was all these while is just
frantic. I never knew what it's like.

Sometimes there comes a time when we think we know. But in reality we
don't. I thought I knew what it was, and obviously no then. Sitting
there and the two uttering the words that share the same sync or wave
made me realise "what is this?". It was a warm feeling. Really warm
that even summer couldn't not match.

Everything is starting to fall in like jigsaw puzzles. The only
question is are we willing to finish it, when we've only just begun.

Half the journey

We are already in the middle of Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah I put forward
my thanks and gratitude to Allah swt for still giving me the chance to
savour every moment that I have. Today we had a wonderful buka puasa
at Acik's place in putrajaya. The whole family was there cept a cousin
or two. Lots of good food and company. Eryne and along+Kak Erol came
in later. Aqeef and eryne's hugging and being so close together time.
Haha.

Speaking of Ramadhan, how much have we extended our prayers,
supplication and other forms of Ibadah? How well have we performed on
our personal KPI? key performance index. :)

The BEAST is out!

Roar!

The news of the successor for 5D MK II ( although i think, a successor for the 50D is more like it. Why?) has been officially out on the net. News of the machine has been rumoured to be out sometime this month. It was true then haha. Looking at the specs, nothing MUCH impressive except for its personal touches from the designers of the camera. A few thousand photographers were consulted for its best and optimum performance and relevance. Hah Relevance. Something some camera makers do not have. 21 megapixels and my laptop has only 250gb of memory space. Go figure.

This new one packs a punch. Wait no. TWO punches because of its DUAL DIGIC 4 processor. IE: Double the Power. So this really resembles a successor for the 50D really. Cause for me, the 5D Mk II is more of a delicate piece of art. Elegance and poise by itself. But the 50D is more of the frontline soldier. That's what I think. Looking at the other specifications itself, I find the design very intriguing. Cause of the grip area. It looks pretty sturdy. And i can see my hand NOT MOVING there haha. Would really be anxious to see what others are writing/commenting about this new camera.

8 frames per second is no JOKE either. SO don't play play :P Nikonians. I'm sorry. Canon just rocks la. Hahaha. Competition at its best. Before this, I thought the 5D Mk II wasn't impressive. I'm having the same feeling with this one. And guess what? I was wrong about the 5D Mk II. I better be wrong with this as well. hahaha.

p.s: I'm just wondering, would the price of the EOS 5D Mk II drop soon due to this new release? You thinking what I'm thinking? hmmm. Stay tuned! - photo and info courtesy of DPREVIEW.

Look into my eyes, and tell me you...

Love me? Haha. Anyway just updating the blog. Been rather busy with work and the family. Trying really hard to balance the two. Haven't got much time to spend for leisure too. Sad isn't it. But it's the experience. It's what i asked for, It's what i got.

How daring are you to look in the eyes and tell yourself you 'can'?

A pretty random question. But a question we tend to evade in our everyday life. Look in the mirror. Dare to challenge yourself? Dare to step up to the game? You did ask for it, so you'll have to go through it.

What am i saying.

Despicable.
