Fairy Tale Turned Bad
Once upon a time, in a far, far away kingdom lived The Princess, who was in love with Prince Charming. The love story between The Princess and Prince Charming began so beautifully, just like any other fairy tale. The Princess being so naive was totally charmed by Prince Charming, with all the sweet talking he [...]

I cried every night the whole of last three weeks. I cried because it’s over. Yeah, I guess it’s really over now. This love shines so brightly like fireworks. This love disappears so quickly like one too. This love cannot outshine Romeo and Juliet by any measure of the day. Yet, it really must have [...]

Pantu Se-Malaya
To all Muslim bloggers celebrating Aidil Fitri:
Selamat Hari Raya & Eid Mubarak!
Have a safe journey if you’re travelling!
Here’s a pantun to my fellow Malaysians:
PANTUN RAYA SE-MALAYA
Kelantan…
Make ikke cicoh budu
Jange lupo tamboh satar
Kelik rayo taksir laju
Nanti rayo dale sepita
Terengganu…
Makang ubi jamang jepong
Makang kepok cicah cuke
Bulang pose mung bengong
Bulang raye mung gile
Pahang…
Sepadan Pahang ada kasino

Secrets of a Woman
By: Kathryn Eisman
The woman you sleep with gazes into your eyes and tells you she loves you. And you believe her. You can tell by the way she looks at you, the way she holds you, the way she seems to always know [...]

Only man can know the pain
I couldn’t sleep last night after waking up from a very bad dream – a nightmare about The Ex-Hubby. In the nightmare, The Ex-Hubby was a ogre that was going to ravage me, and then an angel came in the nick of time to rescue me from his monstrosity.
When everything didn’t work to make me [...]

Sudden Flash Back. I think I’m getting my memory back…
The Ex-Hubby is aerophobic. Besides being hydrophobic and agrophobic.
There was one time we were flying from San Jose to Los Angeles. Must be in September 1993, before we got married. While flying over the waters of Santa Ana, we hit an air pocket, it dropped almost [...]
Keeping Busy

Til the fat lady sings
Ever heard that popular adage, “it’s never over til the fat lady sings”? Coined by a sportswriter and broadcaster Dan Cook, it was a form of self-assurance (or in denial) in the face of long odd, often muttered when things look grim.
Things did look a little grim [...]
Raya Yang Sempurna
Irama rindu bersama sendu
Di dalam rasa pengabdianmu
Pada Tuhanku Yang Maha Satu

Satu untuk semua…

Moga doa dan solat
Kita mendapat kemenangan
Selamat Hari Raya
