Life is nothing if not challenging

Some struggle from the very beginning till the very end - grappling and wrestling with troubles and trials few of us ever experience.

And some seem to have it easy. Finances, romance, career, family, fun; everything seems to fall into place for them. Most of us are somewhere in between these two extremes.

We struggle from time to time with difficulties. We bear up under our share of suffering. And we partake in our share of happiness as well.

But have you ever wondered - even when life is at its best - if this is all there is?
Certainly, when we compare our lot to many in the world, we can feel as though life is good. But, still, many of us hear a small voice inside - asking if life offers nothing more than transitory happiness .

Don't we spend our lives trying to ignore the fact that life for each of us is going to end - and that we are helpless in the face of this certain fate? Isn't this why so many of us fill our calendars with activities and vacations and diversions - just to avoid having to face our own mortality?


Manusia akan berselisih faham kerana banyak perkara - berebut harta, berebut kawasan, berebut kuasa. Apabila berselisih faham, tidak semuanya berakhir dengan semua pihak bersependapat. Biasanya yang berlaku ialah mesti ada satu pihak yang betul atau menang. Biasanya dicapai dengan cara berperang.

....dan manusia berperang dengan bermacam-macam cara. Adakalanya dengan cara bertarung secara fizikal seperti bertumbuk dan bergaduh. Adakalanya dengan menggunakan bantuan medium lain seperti senjata api dan kereta kebal. Ada manusia juga berperang dalam bermacam-macam cara. Adakalanya secara psikologi seperti sekatan ekonomi atau sekatan makanan . Dan boleh juga melompat macam katak kalau suka....

Hmmm... tapi kita orang muda (yang sedang-sedang) tidak perlu untuk bergaduh untuk perkara-perkara yang kecil seperti ini ~ berbanding menyakitkan tangan memukul bola, saya lebih suka menendang bola. Tetapi untuk mengajak orang-orang yang bertangan besar dan suka memukul bola dengan kuat ini untuk bermain bola, saya tidak fikir ramai yang berminat ....


Oh ya... sebelum terlupa... Mulai esok... (lusa sebenarnya) ...Please accept my apology for not updating any story & visiting others, although I have to say, this time, I have a very good excuse lah.

I wanted to travel somewhere... with 2-3 buddies... and all night in the bus... (dah lama benorr tak naik bas... rasa teruja pulak) - Mungkin di sekitar 4, 5 hari... ke beberapa tempat pilihan... huhu... teruja. (lama dah tak bercuti)..

Dan sebelum itu saya selesaikan satu hutang tag yg diberi kepada saya... diberi oleh adik yang cantik manis Ryna Rayhana...

Sape lah pencipta asal tag ni... saya tak pasti apa motifnya... kita tengok ya...

1. Anda dikehendaki mengambil 3 pic di bahagian muka..
2. Pastikan dicrop..
3. Setiap 1 pic hanya boleh menampakkan 1 @ 2 anggota sahaja..
4. Huraikan sedikit tentang pic itu..
5. Tag sape jer asal lebih 5 org..

Motif????????....
tapi takpelah... sebagai menghargai Dek Ryna inilah dia jawapannya:


Mata saya... nak xplain apa ek... cuma tengoklah ada tahi lalat kat kelopak mata bawah belah kanan... orang kata, kalau ada tahi lalat kat mata ni, jenis org kuat tidoo... errrrr... yelah agaknya.


Saya agak kurang berkenan pada hidung yg besar ni... Kalau boleh saya nak hidung yg kecik mcm shah Rukh Khan... (hidung shah rukh khan kecik ke ha??) **errrr... jgn nak byk komen. Syukur Allah bagi hidung yg sempurna - Dia ambik balik hidung tu baru padan muka** - ok! ok!... syukur Alhamdulillah... atas kurniaan hidung yg sempurna ni...




Bibir mulut berulas nipis... errrr... tak reti lah nok komen pasal diri sendiri...


Ok... dah settle... bolehlah bercuti dgn aman tanpa bebanan hutang yg tertinggal... dan saya tak nak tag sape2 lah...

ok... jumpa lagi bila saya balik nanti...
have a nice day

Sekadar catatan...

I had a quiet conversation with a dear old friend yesterday. It was about a challenge (read: opportunity) that I declined to take. He send me an e-mail couple of days a go. Questioning me. He thought I had the capability. I told him honestly the reason why. I simply was not interested in the challenge presented to me. And I am the one who know what is best for me.... yes?

He came to see me again yesterday. Tried to convince me to change my mind. I did not and I was not about to change my mind. He left and I dropped him an e-mail. Thanking him for trusting me. He replied and said that I’ve been in my comfort zone too long. Am I? Maybe I am.

For those who knew me would know that I never decline a challenge nor pass an opportunity to develop my self. But why is it difference this time? Maybe because I know my pool too well. Maybe because I know the other fishes too well. I knew that the big fishes does not always look after the smaller fishes. And there are sharks. And vampire fishes. And jelly fishes that are transparant but ready to electrocute you.

Don’t get me wrong, I was not afraid of them. I have never been and I never will. But to be able to swim, I need to have clear mind. And peace at heart. Something that I doubt that I will keep on having, had I welcomed the challenge. Although that would mean I will get more planktons but planktons come with a price. A price that I am not willing to pay.

Am I at fault to choose not to take it?



hmmmm... apa-apalah...
