Things are worth changing

Some groundrules in my personal life, are slowly changing. I believe that i have, at times, take things easy. Drop down a gear and dont drive too fast when i think i should be cruising. I may not be the first to reach the finish line, but experiencing extra ride might represent a significant change than the life before. And when the going gets nearly end and the dos has done, i am too tired and afraid. Maybe it’s the time i just lean and laugh at stupid deeds, or the way that dreams reluctant to light up the night, or just the way i can remember the way it used to be and be glad that i am where i at. Help me!

Knocked out

Owen at his best

England once again done something to dominate the very first half, managing corner kicks (even they missed one), penalty shoots (and shoot outs) and waking me up after 2 hours sleep. Awww.. darn, i know England is worst in handling penalties, but i know they've played their best. I'm shattered. Hey, even Michel Platini and Eugene Socrates pun ada missed penalties apa.. I'll root for France after this, i dont support them but i expect them to win. So, next time England!

England biffs

Heroes of England

9:00 pm, June 21

Me : *tit tit tit - Wake up timer: 5:30 on Sony TV*
WF : What are you doing?
Me : Football. I have to witness Croatian's failure to England. *sleep infront of Sony TV*

I bet most Malaysians support England. I would say if it's World Cup, England got no chance coz their game is too bland as compare to the Latin America counterparts as well as few of the Europe teams. Nevertheless, with Rooney, Owen, Becks.. the team looks ready. It was a depressing time when Kovac scored in the first fifth minute, but as assured by myself, they won with 4-2. It England's first quarter final when they are not hosting, and i'll root for them for the next meet with Portugal. So, satu lagi sesi tidur awal! And France still look good with 3-1 to Switzerland. Well, i dont think it's stupid stay up late watching 22 men run for a ball anymore, their muscles entertaining tho. Heh!

Al-Kahf

"But your Lord is Most forgiving, full of Mercy. If He were to call them (at once) to account for what they have earned, then surely He would have hastened their punishment, but they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no refuge" [Surah Al-Kahf; 18:58]

I've been told by a very good friend to read Surah Al-Kahf every Friday, when most of us usually recite Surah Yaasin, which is a little bit shorter and easier. The surah may be read during the night or the day of Friday.

From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, who said: "Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on the night of Friday, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah)" [Narrated by al-Daarimi]

Oxided feeling!

Well, it took a lot of time when love was forming and it's gonna take some time for the love to die. But each and every day i spend forgetting you, well it brings another night i never quite get through. And all I need is time, maybe a thousand years, maybe a million tears, but i need time. As much as i need you.

From JJ: "as long as one has these wrong views on the back of their head, it will be tough to have anybody love anyone.. dont complicate love, its something sweet, natural and above all, innocent".

Saying NO 101

Have you ever be drawn against an attention deficit disorder friend, begging you, and you alone to accompany her to her friend’s wedding? It’s awful rejecting a friend who’s mustering a special attention, but saying NO won’t make you a bad person. In fact, learning how to say it properly will give you a more respectful figure. Sometimes it’s easier to give them a plain white lie, but explaining the true situation with buts is much, much better.

Say things like “i'm actually surprised you are asking. Malacca sounds quite far for me, but happen to be with you make me feel excited. *sigh* Well, i didn’t think that i can make it with you. There’s a small slightly tiny teeny weeny thing i've to do on Saturday. My mom asks me to buy her some fish at nearby market. Yes, blame me, but you know i really have to, aren’t you?”

If she replies with “are you certainly rejecting my invitation?” Say “it’s not like that dear. I’m delaying it to a further invitation. Or shall I give an invitation in return, later?” Then, wait until she replies “okay, i will be fine”. And you’ll find out you’ve made her feel glee. Watch out for a fall-fall tone, she must be sulking or seriously disappointed. Rise-rise tone blatantly shows she is mad on you, but trusts me, she’ll be all right. And don’t forget to leave an apologize and wish a happy day for her. Feel easy to say a long NO. A simple NO is an ouch!

Sudah kawin kah belum?

Dear friends, i am SINGLE. Period. Heard this rumours continously. Sampai i pon naik confuse, i dulu pernah kawin ke? I'm not yet married and not getting married this soon. I've distributed wedding cards but they're not my wedding reception. I've been rummaging and tawafing shopping mall for wedding togs but i ain't going to wear them. I've walked down the street with some guys but they're not mine. I'm neither engaged nor in a serious relationship, honestly, but i am infected with Jake 2.0's virus. That's all. That's all.. i hope.

Venus transit

No living person has seen a transit of Venus because the most recent one occurred in 1882. Believe it or not? Believe it! Tomorrow observers around much of the world will see Venus drift across the face of the sun as Venus passes between the sun and earth. Simple as transits may seem, but put yourself in the history guys!. Persatuan Astronomi Negara Brunei Darussalam and Shahrin can give you some particular of it. Come on Venusians, it's show time!

Just come back from NJ's wedding reception in Penang. Exhausted but every single drop of my sweats are really worth for a good friend i have in good and bad times. And Annie, thanks for the 2 and half hours chat. McD made me talk to strangers! Strange...
