Hmmm... ponderings...



One of my recent favorite things, an orchestra of giant umbrellas. Transform. An amazing feat of engineering and technology linked to religion and spirituality. Alhamdulillah, I was blessed to have the opportunity to spend the first third of Ramadan in the holy land, the first day in Madinah and the rest in Mekah. The second half in Kuala Terengganu, a place which now seems to be for solitude, work and play. The final part was spent at home with my kids and family. Which led to a most unusual raya for me. That's another story.

As I sit here waiting for the next event to loom, my thoughts keep going back to recent events. Trying to recall and analyze. Time seems to have flown, it has actually....

The irony of it all. In the midst of many I feel alone and neglected. Not one but three yet none is here. Fancy being a loner yet suddenly can't stand being in solitude. That which should be sweet left a lingering bitterness. Do not question why, do not attempt understanding, just let be.

Am beginning to hate the notification sound from the SGSII because inevitably the message I was hoping for did not come in. Practicality and sensibility has gone. Patience morphed into anger and very soon sadness. There are just so much that can be done. Much more that can't, therein lies the poison in the arrow. Totally dislike not being in control. Dear God, renew my strength, patience and wisdom, please.

Sabar menanti...

Tetiba terasa biru (suddenly I am feeling blue... )

Tak sabar rasanya untuk datang bertamu
Berteleku sujud memohon rahmatmu
Ingin mengadu dan merayu
Berkasih dan bermanja pada yang satu

Hanya kau yang tak pernah mengecewakan
Izinkan aku mengubat rindu
Hanya kau yang tak pernah menyakitkan
Izinkan aku melepas dendam

It never ends..

It never ends does it ? The journey of deja-vu. Feels like, no, I know that I have been here before. Was tripped by the pothole before, yet here I am going through it and getting tripped by the same pothole again.

I always thought that with every journey, lessons are learnt, experiences gained and then we were supposed to move on to new journeys and new experiences. Yet the cycle keep repeating itself. Is it supposed to be this way ?

There once was a man whose gift is of understanding, able to understand and able to see what others fail to see. At first it was a gift then it turned to a curse. Because though he could understand he could never be either or. His understanding and his sight refused to let him choose, leaving him alone on the fence, only able to see but not be...

Have you ever felt that your investment does not yield the desired return ? Do you pull out or stay and hope that the tide will change ? Getting tired of efforts that does not provide reciprocal results. Perhaps I am just a bad investor...

Gotta go and cycle now.... ;-)

Pagi suram

Ya Allah,
Dipagi yang suram ini
Tatkala bayu lembutmu menjatuhkan sekeping daun kering dibahu kananku
Tersentuh hati mengenang segala anugerahmu
Kesal rasa kerana tak cukup mensyukuri segala nikmatmu

Ampunkan aku Ya Allah kerana lalai dengan apa yang tidak ada
Asyik gundah memikirkan kekurangan dan ketidakcukupan
Sedang segala yang kau pinjamkan dan begitu banyak yang kau berikan
Apa dipinta semua kau kabulkan

Ampunkanlah aku Ya Allah
Ampunkanlah aku Ya Allah
Ampunkanlah aku Ya Allah

Before my eyes...



Scenes that greet me every morning. Am so thankful to be blessed.
