Skali Budak Kecik gtau aku yang application dia for MAS pilot was rejected. Guess that's why he was not feeling right the other day... Some kind of premonition i bet. Hmm, aku diam je. xde komen. just let him dwell in the feeling...
I just had nothing to say at that time. Heard somewhere that says - kalo agak2 sesuatu tu x elok dicakap/didengar, better xyah ckp la... kalo boleh don't even think about it. *still struggle at doing it sometimes*. But seriously, I've read somewhere that says - For things that had happened, don't think about it too much. Just let it be and try to handle the post-event; not that you can undone it.
Let it go = Detach. Abaikan. Sabar, tawakkal, redha.
Have faith. Usahakan yang lain.
If we really believe HIS plan is the best, come what may, we should be glad (i use glad instead of happy...) for whatever circumstances that lay ahead of us. Yeah, easy to say... since all human are different and thus our capacity of handling things varied...
So, if you've wished OR asked OR worked hard BUT not getting what you wanted. Let it go. Curl that lips into a smile. Something better awaits right ahead of your path. Have faith. Keep on asking. From HIM.
Here's the metaphor. You're heading somewhere. A destination. You think it's the best place that you would ever want to be. Midway - you remembered you left something important, you forgot to run some errands, you took the wrong exit, then your car broke down, there was not a slightest chance there'll be any car coming your way, or there were but they ignored you, and it's an hour past midnite (ok, this is like way too much, but anyway...), then came the hurricane, you're drained, hungry and helpless. You started asking why. "Why are these happening to me??? What did I do wrong???"
(Oh, c'mon! you did nothing wrong. why do we always have bad perception to God's willing? "ni mesti aku kena hukum sbb aku kutuk driver taxi td". c'mon la... walopon balasanNya cash, we should as well - always remind ourselves, HE LOVES US too - but never, i mean NEVER take that love for granted.)
Back to the metaphor. It could be HIS DUGAAN. which means you have to keep going. show your strength. prove to everybody - you can do this. lebihkan usaha. ask for HIS guide and help.
Or it's just simply HIS SIGNS. that no matter what you think of YOUR destination, he won't allow it. Coz he has a BETTER plan for you. and of course THE BEST one. ask for HIS guide and help - on how to read and understand the road signs. or the very least - to be alert everytime He sends it.
it's HIM - the MAHA PENGASIH, MAHA PENYAYANG, MAHA PEMURAH dan MAHA MENGETAHUI - i'm talking about.

The most awaited recipe: Sambal sotong mama aku...
Note: Ye lah, here it goes... sori la wey, been quite sometimes since hgpa dorg mintak ni... aku malas menaip... so, lepas ni, sroh yg lain2 pon refer kat sini jgk. AMARAN KERAS: sebarang pertanyaan melalui telefon/surat-menyurat xkan dilayan ;P
(ini ikut bahasa mama aku)
Bahan-bahan:
cabai kering 2 cekak - rebus - gunting - blender (dgn ayaq skerat jag blender tu).
masukkan bwg merah 15/20 biji (15 kalo besaq, 20 kalo kecik)
masukkan belacan besaq ibu jari (ibu jari mama aku - so pepandai la hgpa bajet...)
masukkan garam kasar 2 camca.
blend - blend - blend.
Cara memasak sambal:
panaskan minyak stgh cawan, tuang cili (yang ni dia x sebut cabai plak). ambik segenggam asam jawa (again, genggaman mama aku) - buat air asam, masuk dlm belanga, biaq sampai agak mendidih, masukkan gula 6 camca, aji 1 camca kecik (sudu teh la...).
(Siap sambalnya. Bleh simpan berbulan2 dlm peti ais, ok... dijamin selamat.)
Cara memasak sambal sotong:
Bersihkan sotong. (Syigha, jgn buang kulit sotong ok... tu yg sedap, bahagian lain, buang la... xpa...). Letak garam & kunyit, goreng sotong (jgn lama2 nanti keras). Keluarkan sotong, tinggal minyak sket kat kuali... masukkan bwg besar (sliced separa bulat), sat ja - bila dah naik bau - masukkan sambal td dlm 3,4 sudu. masak sikit, dah pecah minyak - baru masuk sotong. Walla!
Sudahnya - ikut kreativiti sendiri. Happy cooking!

Matangkah itu?
Lebih tua atau berumur mungkin = lebih berpengalaman. Tetapi lebih berpengalaman tidak mungkin = lebih matang. Nak nak plak yang hanya 2,3 thn. Atau 4,5 thn.
Look around us... the people of same age. Banyak ragam. Banyak akal. Banyak songeh. And these people are going to be viewed as the adults or elderly pretty soon.
Watch out what you teach the young. Don't go telling lies ~ especially your opinion that life is hard. Just because yours was, don't instill the same outlook to others (unless you want them to lead a life just like you did). They deserved better chances.

Don't go saying "Hidup ini penuh ranjau dan pancaroba" atau "If you want to be happy, you've gotta marry a rich man" atau "If you want stability, you've gotta work as government servant (only)".
Life is full of possibilities. Never put a limit to it. Take pride in telling good things. Teach them to love and most importantly teach them how to show love ~ by showing it in the first place.
The world abundance is there for those who deserve it.

My ride needs pimping -2-
Pernah aku parking keta kat sebelah tong sampah (sbb kat situ je yg ada), dan esoknya tgh aku drive nak pergi kerja, ada 'sesuatu' yang lembik2 lepak kat atas kaki aku... it's RATATOUIE's cousin! PETUA menghalau makhluk halus itu sama seperti menghalau makhlus haluk yang lain. baca je AYAT KURSI, then hembus ke alam sekeliling dgn penuh keyakinan. InsyaALLAH.
Pastu dia terus naik kat atas dashboard. aku ingat nak tangkap je. tp eee... so aku bukak je tingkap dan dia dgn rela hati melompat keluar. dia panas la tu... dan aku masih harap keta sebelah xnampak pergelutan tersebut dan dia x dilanggar oleh kenderaan lain semasa melintas jalanraya yang sibuk hari tu.
bila aku khabarkan berita tu kat officemate aku, diorg ckp, "Ala, ape nak dipelikkan, lembu & penyu pon bleh masuk dlm keta tu..." Yes, my favourite pet is the TURTLEDUDE (turtle dlm Nemo) dan mereka maksudkan soft toys aku.
back to my car - cat kat bumbung dah naik kulat, minyak hitam kena top up sebotol besar setiap bulan, slalu susah nak start, and all those minor things... aku masih bersabar. aku xde masa nak hantar kedai je... dan kalo keta aku kat kedai, camne aku nak bergiat aktif?
yelah, yelah... itu semua alasan. I should at least send it to carwash... heh.
tp rabu lepas bila aircond aku blow up, dan kesabaran aku diuji lagi pada hari jumaat bila fon aku plak terbarai, dan simkad aku tercicir ntah kat mana, dan fon yg aku beli ni cam hampeh, dgn due date tempahan bisnes aku smakin dkt - aku KALAH. aku akui walopon semua tu benda kecik dan remeh, aku xphm kenapa aku pressure. mcm the world stumble upon me. maloo aku dgn sedara mara kita kat Palestin. dan aku tersedar dah lama rupanya aku x stress that i forgot how to handle it...
Allhamdullillah, life's been so good to us and sometimes we need some minor hiccups to wake us up...
Dan aku cuba korek balik di celahan otak aku tentang perkara ni... ever heard of CHEMICALIZATION? i used to preach on this subject to others, and yet when i myself needs it, i forgot. And yes, i made some effort to recall it.
OK, i learnt that somewhere. When we feel like our world is stumbling, it's because ALLAH is rearranging something to bring/to give us what we've been wishing for. The process is called chemicalization. Things look REAL bad. Everything went wrong. Every single thing you do even at your best went faulty. And the way to handle it is... Let it be. Face it head up. Smile at the mishaps - for you believe, HE's at hand at doing the best than anyone could have done!
Tough, i bet. Hope and confidence will always keep us going. keep on praying. mintak dgn DIA, bukan dgn manusia. Life is wonderful. Live it simply by simply living.
Bet my ride pimped. Or it's the PETRONAS HOT CARS. Or the COOL CASH! *hic*

Yeah... like real badly needing it... Kenkadang aku maloo nak bagi org tumpang,.. tp x baiknya! keta tu dah sgt berjasa pada aku ~ Imagine this: sebuah Satria 1st edition 1995 (kalo manusia, dia ni dah tingkatan 2 thn ni ok!), kaler hijau sgt, riding all the way thru Federal Highway dgn sebuah almari Ikea yang sudah siap pasang di dlm bontotnya (cam pelik je ayat ni aku rasa) err... bootnya. dan of course, separa terkeluar la... dgn sehelai plastik merah tergantung - konon-konon sign utk 'AWAS-Muatan panjang'. hehehe...
Siapa berani? itu baru sikit...
Dan sampai sorg manusia ni ckp "Keta lu tu, kalo bawak pegi JPJ, diorg akan cop REJECT dan hantar kedai besi buruk je...". Ntah, aku rasa dia nak buat lawak je kot tu... (x lawak pon sbb aku sgt terasa! coz keta tu la yg memudahkan kehidupan semua manusia sekitar aku waktu tu (termasuk dia)... people just look at things differently). Dah lah, itu dulu...
Dan skrg - i STILL LOVE my car. keta aku laju dah mcm racing car. dan bunyi dia pon sgt otai. Pernah aku sampai di rumah member... dan aku nampak dia berlari-lari ke depan pintu... Aku ingat dia nak sambut aku... tp muka dia tetibe berubah dan kat tangan dia ada sebuah beg plastik penuh berisi sampah. "Mummy sroh gua buangkan sampah... ingatkan lori sampah dah sampai... Lu rupanya". heh.
But anyway, LOVE what you HAVE.

Good Reason?
Smlm aku bersembang dgn Budak Kecik (sorg bdk ofis aku)... dia macam nak cuba mengaplikasikan pembelajaran teknik2 'The Secret' hasil dari pengaruh aku... dan waktu tu dia tgh down and start talking negatively. Dia nampak aku baru nak buka mulut; dia terus ckp dgn nada separa menyampah - "Ye lah, ye lah... Things happen for a reason..."
So aku pon ckp - "Kau tau tak diorg lupa nak letak satu lagi perkataan kat dlm ayat tu..?"
"Ape ek?" Budak Kecik mula interested nak mendengar.
"GOOD. Diorg lupa nak letak 'good' kat depan 'reason'. Things happen for a GOOD reason."
Pastu kitorg diam dan sambung kerja... aku xtau plak dia sebenarnya tgh mencerna ayat power aku tadi... skali dia buka mulut - "So camne kau nak kaitkan ayat tu dgn Gaza skrg?"
Giliran aku plak yg diam.
Dan hari ni aku rasa aku dah dapat jawapannya. I still believe in my own words. Things happen for a GOOD reason. But if it does not appear to be good before our eyes; the enlightening realization I've gotten was - ALLAH Maha Mengetahui.
