Dear Allah…

Posted on April 2, 2009. Filed under: Soul Food, Thinking Aloud |

Dear Allah, I ask for your forgiveness for what I have done, and for what I have not done that you have asked me to. I know not any better. I ask for your forgiveness for what I am not strong enough to forgive others.
I want to be a better person, and give me [...]

Walau dunia tak seindah surga

Posted on March 17, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Soul Food, Thinking Aloud |

I’m feeling much better today and I’m humming this song by Nidji in my head…
Laskar Pelangi
Mimpi adalah kunci
Untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
Berlarilah tanpa lelah
Sampai engkau meraihnya
Laskar pelangi
Takkan terikat waktu
Bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa
Raih bintang di jiwa
Menarilah dan terus tertawa
Walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa
Cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya…
Cinta kepada hidup
Memberikan senyuman abadi
Walau hidup kadang tak adil
Tapi [...]

Coming to My Senses

Posted on March 14, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve, Random Thots, Soul Food, Thinking Aloud |

In all my messed up state of emotion, I forget there is such thing as “rebound”. Yup, what happened in my life for the last four weeks was a devastating result of this “I hate it but it’s true” thingy called “rebound”.
After analyzing the whole situation and turning it upside down, and looking at [...]

It Must Have Been Love

Posted on March 8, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve, Random Rarebits, Soul Food |

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 [...]

Giving thanks

Posted on October 2, 2008. Filed under: Soul Food |

On the eve of Eid ul Fitr, I was thinking about how much I’ve accomplished in life. It’s not THAT great compared to some of my more successful friends. But it is good enough compared to some of my not so successful friends. But then, who am I to judge a person’s success?
 
Then I read [...]

No Regrets

American artist, Thomas Kinkade eloquently said, “When we learn to say a deep, passionate yes to the things that really matter… then peace begins to settle onto our lives like golden sunlight sifting to a forest floor.”
Life is about the choices we make – we should stand by our choices – no regrets.

Plato on love and marriage

Posted on September 13, 2008. Filed under: Learning Curve, Soul Food |

One day, Plato asked his teacher, “What is love? How can I find it?”
 
The teacher answered, “There’s a large wheat field in front. Walk there without turning back, and take just one leaf. If you can find one leaf that you think is extraordinary, it means you have found love.”
 
So Plato walked…and not long after [...]

Like expecting gold…

Posted on September 6, 2008. Filed under: Learning Curve, Soul Food |

American essayist and nature writer, Maurice Setter (1817-1862) once wrote: “Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.”
 
Maybe that’s why I kept missing the train when it comes to relationships, and I find it difficult to fall in love because I was hoping to find someone who has the right chemistry. Perhaps, [...]

Connecting The Dots…

Posted on June 20, 2008. Filed under: Learning Curve, Soul Food, Woman at Work |

Was it Steve Jobs or Bill Gates who told a story in a commencement address that life is about connecting the dots?
I think it was Steve Jobs, but regardless of who said that, I believe he is absolutely right. He also said that you cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them [...]

Carpe diem!

Posted on October 26, 2007. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Thots, Soul Food |

While waiting to car pool with a couple of friends to a mutual friend’s open house in Damansara Heights, I was killing time by cleaning up some old files from my laptop this evening. Guess what. I found my old journal for September 2003 and I read it.
 
It’s amazing and so inspiring to remember how much [...]
