The Dam

It seems sad that an issue regarding whether or not we need a dam still has to be debated. ~ Jim Metropulos You want a dam It can't help but affect the water That flows further along the way I find myself downstream Was I properly considered? It is truly debatable.

30 Perkara Perempuan Tak Sempat Bagitau Lelaki..

Image
I came across this very interesting note on FB. I could definitely relate to it but as usual, since it was written by a man, the woman in me just had to respond (not react, mind you). My response is in italics. 30 Perkara Perempuan Tak Sempat Bagitau Lelaki.. Bukan tak sempat, maybe derang harap org lelaki faham sendiri la, buat homework sikit... 1. Bila sorang wanita mengatakan dia sedang bersedih, tetapi dia tidak menitiskan airmata,itu bermakna dia sedang menangis di dalam hatinya. Mungkin. Sebenarnya nak attention... 2. Bila dia tidak menghiraukan kamu selepas kamu menyakiti hatinya, lebih baik kamu beri dia masa untuk menenangkan hatinya semula sebelum kamu menegur dengan ucapan maaf. Betul. Ucapan maaf tu boleh menyejukkan hati yang panas! 3. Wanita sukar nak cari benda yang dia benci tentang orang yang paling dia sayang (sebab itu ramai wanita yang patah hati bila hubungan itu putus di tengah jalan). Kalau dah suka, yg hodoh semua cantek.. . 4. Sekiranya sorang wanita jatu...

1. Patience is a virtue. And a curse. 2. Friends can be disowned. 3. Finishing a run within the time given can give a high that lasts for a few days. Well, two days, actually. 4.

A call or a text or a message that I get on my birthday is a gift, indeed. 13. Giving is noble. Receiving is pure luck. 14. Who I have in life is more valuable than what I have in life. 15.

For you I try to be graceful about it Even if it stretches my heart into disquieting places.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." ~Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder. That I finished it. This is what I talk about when I talk about running. Nothing else. How I do it, the time I clock in, and did I get a medal or not are largely irrelevant to the present discussion. Earlier this year, having heard multiple accounts of running from my muse and my buddy, Intan, I decided to take part in a race. There must be something really satisfying about it, I thought. If not, how come two of my favourite people in this world are addicted to it, eh? Hehe. When another buddy asked me if I’d be interested to run in the Cyberjaya Night Race, I was ecstatic. I’ve always wanted to experience it firsthand but wasn’t really keen at the idea of having a go at it alone. My buddy and I were in the same boat, we’d never ever done this befo...

Kau Peduli Kah?

Aku dah lalui semua perasaan itu. Perasaan itu wujud dalam pelbagai dimensi dan ada pasang surut dan aku dah lalui semuanya. Dan aku tak takut lalui semula sebab perasaan itu boleh menjadi perkara yang terindah jika kena caranya. Kalau aku takut untuk lalui semula lebih baik aku berhenti jadi seorang manusia. Tak perlulah aku kupaskan ciri-ciri seorang manusia tu kan.   Kadang kadang aku benci dengan perasaan ini. Sebab perasaan ini tak pernah membawa aku ke mana-mana pun. Aku pun heran kenapa aku tak putus asa lagi. Kalau lah ada ubat anti-biotik untuk perasaan ini, senangnya hidup aku sebab  perasaan yang telah lama bersarang ni akan terus terbantut dan jumud untuk kesekian kalinya. Tamat. Jadi aku pasrah. Aku malas nak tanya dari mana datang perasaan ni sebab aku percaya otak kerdil aku ni takkan dapat mencari jawapannya. Walaupun perasaan ini buat hidupku kadang kadang jadi tak tentu arah. Walaupun aku jadi separuh gila cuba untuk mema...
