a situation:
y u no admit being at a place with that person at the same time? enough evidence. u blogged about it. that other person has DP of that place (same contrast). yet, u deny it. come on. this is not my story though. saja menyibuk. ;p
masalah. cari masalah dengan orang lain memang senang. yang paling berkesan adalah dengan menyalahkan orang lain. blaming it on others. sebab, bila kau sampai satu sudut/bucu yang mana sukar untuk kau gerak lagi, kau akan cari akal untuk lepas beban itu. ada dua alasan. satu, kau mahu kau kosong semula (nampak baik pada mata orang lain). atau kau memang mahu khianat dia (biar dia seksa). mana-mana pun akan buat kau TAK TENANG. sampai sudah ada unresolved issues. sudah-sudah lah tu.
aku sedar kau fighter. suka on the edge. i want to be on the safe side. sedar itu milik orang. tak akan SENTUH. tapi kau degil. tamak? mungkin. tak mengapa. mungkin senang dengan begitu. bahagia barangkali.
happiness bukan untuk sorang-sorang rasa. sorang-sorang happy, tak seronok kot. tapi, definition bagi setiap orang berbeza. again, hak masing-masing. jangan takut untuk gamble. perjudikanlah bahagia kau itu jika kau rasa it is worth the try. never try, never know right? gambling is fun. gambling? cuba view dari maksud lain dari judi-kasino-duit-4D. bukan. bukan itu. gambling yang kau rancang prosedurnya tapi outcome masih misteri. bukan kau rancang membabi buta. contoh banyak. mistakes orang lain pun ada. look and learn.
creeping in the dark. movie date tak habis lagi. 3-4 tahun kot cari 'perfume:story of a murderer'. tapi, tak pandai download.
nasib baik ada orang tu suka download. ;)

suram sunyi sepi hiba pedih semuanya negatif
tak ada yang lebih baik kau boleh bagi?
apa boleh buat. aku sama saja macam orang lain.
senyum bila suka. masam bila kecewa.
itu realiti, kawan. normal.
maksud kau, sini kau real?
luar kau fake?
begitu?
mungkin.
semua orang ada topengnya. sama ada tebal atau nipis itu saja bezanya.

hak masing2. terpulang.

.acceptance.
acceptance : willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation
selalu orang cakap, redha saja la qadha' dan qadar. hakikat, memang susah. bukan senang nak terima buta-buta. akal ada. hati ada. fikir. kalau tak boleh, jangan paksa. janji kau sudah cuba sehabis baik. (orang putih cakap - try your best).
sesetengah benda lebih elok jika dibiar unwritten. penamat yang bukan penamat. lainlah kalau kau mahu lebih luka. ingat, pedih sendiri tanggung (read: responsibility).
mahu tampal lagi di sini excerpt dari post aku dulu. "all u could do, live n love life"
belajar dan jangan henti. tak rugi.
i am sorry for everything.

.bread and controversy.
Let's support the new Massimo bread by Robert Kuok and boycott Gardenia bread is owned by Umno crony, Syed Mokhtar's Tradewind group. Massimo bread has finally arrived in Penang. During promotion the wheat gem bread is sold at only RM2.50 as oppose to RM3.20 for the Gardenia and Hi-Fi; go check it out.
----------------------------------
I buy my @ Rm2.00 per loaf in Section 17 PJ. At this price I save RM 1.20. I was told some shops sell it @ Rm 1.80 in Sentosa. The weight is the same as Gardenia and Hi=Fi. Very tasty and nutritious.
I recommend you switch over and save. I was given to understand that Robert Kuok is also a big timer in flour industry beside sugar which Bumno took over by 'force' and the Bumno goons do not even buy the flour for their Gardenia bread on purpose.
This policy impoverishes the people in general but line the pockets of those crony goons.
Switch over: YES YOU CAN !
got this from an email. roti pun nak politik. haha. tak ada paksa2 kot nak makan roti. sendiri makan, sendiri nilai. oh btw, email ini dari seorang cina. so, terpulang la pada penilaian masing2.

.3 Reasons to Travel While You’re Young.
The other night, I had a conversation with a young woman who had a number of decisions ahead of her, one of which was whether she should go to grad school or travel the world.
I told her to travel. Hands down. No excuse. Just go.
She sighed.
“Yeah, but…”
Never were more fatal words spoken.
Yeah, but… what about debt?Yeah, but… what about my job?Yeah, but… what about my boyfriend (or dog or car or whatever)?
“Yeah, but…” is pernicious. Because it makes it sound like we have the best of intentions when really we are just too scared to do what we should.
It allows us to be cowards, while sounding noble.
Most people I know who waited to travel the world never did. Conversely, plenty of people who waited for grad school or a steady job and traveled still did those things — eventually.
Be careful of the yeah-but. The yeah-but will kill your dreams.
I was so stirred by this conversation that I shared it with a group of about thirty young adults last night, many of which were asking these very questions.
The life you’ve always wanted
When you get older, life seems to just sort of happen to you. Your youth is a time of total empowerment.
You get to do what you want. As you mature and gain new responsibilities, you have to be very intentional about making sure you don’t lose sight of what’s important.
So if you still have a reasonable amount of control over your circumstances, you should do what really matters. Because life won’t always be just about you.
During early adulthood, your worldview is still being formed. It’s important to steward this time — to give yourself opportunities to grow. A good way to do that is to travel.
So, young person, travel.
Travel wide and far.
Travel boldly.
Travel with full abandon.
Travel boldly.
Travel with full abandon.
You will regret few risks you take, when it comes to this. I promise you.
There are three reasons to travel while you’re young:
1. Traveling teaches you to live an adventure
When you look back on your life, you will have moments of which you are proud and maybe a few you regret. It’s likely that the following won’t be on the latter list:
- Bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge.
- Appeared on Italian TV.
- Hiked a Mayan ruin.
- Learned Spanish in three months.
- Toured Europe by train.
They’re not on mine (fun fact: I’ve done all of the above).
What, then, will be?
- Holding back.
- Being afraid.
- Making excuses.
- Not taking more risks.
- Waiting.
While you’re young, you should travel.
You should take the time to see the world and taste the fullness of life. It’s worth whatever investment or money or sacrifice of time required on your part.
It’s not about being a tourist. It’s about experiencing true risk and adventure so you don’t have to live in fear for the rest of your life.
2. Traveling helps you encounter compassion
In your youth, you will make choices that will define you. The disciplines you begin now will be with you for the rest of your life.
Traveling will change you like little else can. It will put you in places that will force you to care for issues that are bigger than you.
If you go to southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide and religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the the ugly side Western paternalism.
Your heart will break.
You will begin to understand that the world is both a big and small place. You will have a new-found respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will feel more connected to your fellow human beings in a deep and lasting way.
You will learn to care.
3. Traveling allows you to get some culture
While you’re still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.
There’s nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing Michelangelo’s David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre, but being there is a different story.
The world is a stunning place, full of outstanding works of art. See it.
Do this while you’re still young. Do not squander this time. You will never have it again.
You have a crucial opportunity to invest in the next season of your life now. Whatever you sow, you will eventually reap.
Please. For your sake, do this.
You won’t always be young. And life won’t always be just about you. So travel. Experience the world for all it’s worth. Become a person of culture, adventure, and compassion.
“What if I’m not young?”
Travel, anyway. It may not be easy to do, but find a way to get out of your comfort zone. It’s really never too late.
But if you haven’t gotten sucked into the routine of life yet, I implore you — travel. It will never be easier than it is right now for you to do that which really matters.
If you’re young, have you traveled yet? Have you seen what the world has to offer and how it can change you? What’s holding you back?
If you’re older, did you travel when you were young? What regrets do you have?

Reading material
If you’re ready to step off the beaten path, here are a few travel companions I recommend:
- The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe
- Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
- Unconventional Guides by Chris Guillebeau
And if you’re looking to travel with a purpose, consider going on a mission trip. I highly recommend The World Race.
