John Terry is a good football captain. There is no doubt about that but with the clout surrounding him at the moment, he should just sit back and take a good look at himself from afar. He should ask himself  “what message am I sending out to my fans?” The mature ones like myself, may be able to differenciate between what is shown on the field and the man himself but the young ones may perceive what he did as a norm and also do it when they get a chance later on in their lives. So Terry… to resign or not to resign that is the question.

inginku duduki

 singgahsana cinta

 hati bertahta berlian

kerusi berisi tulus

Tiara bersulam

bercincinkan maya

kau raja

hatiku

ku sultan

Kepada DJ radio di Malaysia, kalau boleh jangan mainkan bunyi kereta emergency brake. Ianya mengelabarkan pemandu kereta yang mendengar radio.

Terima kasih

Takkanku sia-siakan

Jikaku

dapat melihat kamu

takkanku alihkan

pandanganku

Jikaku

dapat merasakan hadirmu

       Fraser’s Hill is located off Kuala Kubu Baharu so for those staying in KL it is not that far. For bird watching, it is the place to be. For golfers, it is the place to play without getting too sweaty and hot. Well for families…. there are not enough attraction for the children except for the boat ride and maybe perhaps the waterfall. The authorities should come up with more innovative ideas on how to develop the area without disturbing the flora and fauna even more so when there is an administrative office there.

bayangmu kucari

kekadang ku ragu

ku kembali

untuk berpisah

kupinta

kurelakan masaku

kupaksakan setiaku

kurinduimu

hamparan kasihmu

membelai naluriku

sepi tanpa teman

bicara untuk berkongsi

santapanku kamu

tenangku kamu

bisikku kamu

aku adalah kamu

I observed mini me

on a globe

in an antique

shop

I observed mini me

busy doing routine

on the hamster’s wheel

going no where

I observed mini me

pleasing others

hurting himself

oh my…

I observed mini me

motionless

wake up mini me

wake up……

I saw a man

 walking alone

 without anything

 to eat

I saw a man

who eats

and never stops

except to drink.

I saw a woman

who sells

people buying

until old

I saw a woman

who prays

till the end of day

not knowing the time

I saw life

engulf it

savour it

for it will not last

oleh Raimizar Rahim

Aku tunggu

kau terjaga dari tidur

rambutmu mengurai

lesu selesu tubuhmu

Aku tunggumu

di meja sarapan

roti kahwinmu

air jerangku

Aku tunggumu

di muka pintu

di pintu hati

bukalah aku masih menunggu

Notice how some people can make you lousy and they can get away with it! What if God has a way of punishing those people on the spot, wouldn’t it be nice?  To see those who do something to you suffer, eventhough it is just a mild one. I am not a sadist; just a just man. I heard somebody said recently that we should be nice to those who are not nice to us. Hmm…. thinking…..maybe NOT. To see the betrayers walking innocently as if nothing had happened is a grave sin in my eyes and I am sure that it is in yours too. Well no moral policing today….sorry. Maybe next time!

Everybody needs a sense of belonging. The sense of being at home, comfortable and being at peace. Can we live alone? That is the question often asked by people. Are we social beings or we portray ourselves to be as such? What if we were to live in the jungle, are we able to survive? Alone? Of course! It all comes back to our basic need for shelter, clothing and food. Are we up for it?

Datang

tidak diundang

kunjung

 tak ditolak

Ikhlas

kata diikat janji

sepakat bersama

Khaliq diingat

Berkat ditagih

Semoga ikatan

kekal selama

Rupamu disimpan
parasmu dihalang
badanmu lurus berbaju
tapak tanganmu kulihat

tanganmu tidak disentuh
hatimu tidak diusik
cuma untuk dimiliki
untuk diimami

suaramu disorok
mengalunkan
kata-kata pujian
bahasa anbiya

kamu mulia
walau tersorok
kamu idaman
walau tersimpan

kau kulihat riang

ketika tak bersama

ketika duka

kita berdua

 

kucoretkan warkah

hati buat tatapanmu

agar kamu

fahami kata anganku

 

Siapa kita

suatu masa lampau

itu bukan kita kini

saling memiliki

 

Engkau satu

dalam seribu

juga banyak

dalam berjuta

 

ku mahu kau abadi

terukir di batu hati

tertambat di pagar nurani

bukan hanya sampai pagi

Are you satisfied when someone tells you that you are a good person. Have you actually looked at yourself from a distance and really observed yourself?

Hmm… maybe the first thing you’ll say is I’ve got to get rid of my bulging tummy… well back to the issue at hand. We are our best critiques because we know ourselves better. Sometimes we may do something that is not acceptable in the eyes of the society but in reality we really don’t have much of a choice. Running a red light because if the car stops.. well it won’t start again! We do have to make those type of tough decisions as we race towards of goals in life. May I ask you what are we chasing or racing for? We leave our children to go to work. You leave your beautiful wife to fend for herself and you also may leave her for the occasional overseas trip.. all because you have to. Are we too engrossed in the rat race that we leave our loved ones behind. I gotta run so you take care of yourselves okay.

Usin bolt has to run too but he is making millions in under ten seconds! Are we even close to making millions in a year?

Ask yourselves again. Who are we? What are our roles in life? Who will actually help us and comfort us in our time of distress? Look at ourselves from a distance and maybe we’ll find out.
