Struck by a name

Have you ever felt stricken seeing someone's name pop up before your eyes? Felt that blood somehow drained off your face for a second, your heartbeat got a little bit faster than normal? And you're left wondering whether that meant something, because somehow all the emotions that you tried to rein let themselves loose?

The days are getting shorter

Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. - William Blake

It is approaching winter now. The temperature has yet to be freezing, alhamdulillah, but the days are getting shorter. The Daylight Saving Time has ended, and now the sun sets at 4.40 pm.


As night time approaches, you can't help thinking that it is time for rest and slumber. As soon as it becomes dark, your body just wants to slow down, your tummy just starts to rumble, and all you'd want to do is have your dinner and sleep. And that is exactly what I do...

Elvis Presley last song ever 1977

I was listening to this while doing a bit of writing. Funny the way Elvis mumbled his way through the song :D

Surah Al-Insyirah - سورة الشرح (Kelapangan)

A very thoughtful ustazah advised me to recite this Surah whenever I felt confused, sad and down. I looked for the translation, and here it is:

PUTRA - cinta kain putih

Currently on SuriaFM online. Terus rasa kusut dan jiwang. Why la semua lagu-lagu yang mendatangkan nostalgia ni?

Cerita sedih

Berita sedih dari kebun hari ini :(. Sekor anak kerbau mati terlilit, tercekik agaknya. Mak cerita orang tengah nak korek tanah & tanam anak kerbau. Hati sedih bertambah hiba pulak; terus kata kat mak nak telefon kemudian. Mana tau ternangis pulak nanti. Sambung perjalanan di tepi sungai, diiringi itik dan angsa yang mengharap sedikit habuan.

Itik tunggu makanan

Distraction

I need distraction. Something to take me away from thinking about all the could-haves, should-haves, what-ifs and, most importantly, him.

And there are only so much you can do to distract yourself. Sooner or later the thoughts will come back, and you will have to go through the process of understanding the concept of fate and destiny again.

I just want him to know that I am not running away. I was just too slow to understand his need to be alone; even now I could not understand it fully. And now I am staying away, and praying that somehow, at some point in the future, our lives will cross each other, and even, if i dare to hope, entwine.
