Life

Fear not my friend of what to come,

Tomorrow the sun will be your charm,

A promising day upon your palm,

Arise you stand and breathe so calm,

Life twirls inside our mind,

Some are harsh and some are kind,

Some shut us down and make us blind,

Kill the faith as far behind,

Make way my friend, for hope is there,

Life is nothing that we should swear,

Thoughts of happiness everywhere,

Memories and love for us to share,

If what has written upon our fate,

A shortcut to the pain and hate,

Shall we cherish without regret,

For the journey has been made great.

Forever Admiring

If only you knew that I like you,

what could it be?

That is something that I could not see.

If only you knew how your laughter

has taken away my misery.

Then you would know you have made me happy.

There are some things in life

I could not reveal.

Like the feelings that I have kept sealed.

How long should I remain silent

in a world so loud and busy?

Till the day you will never notice me.

Forever             In
Admiring           Secretly
Is                     Keeping
Retaining          Admiration
Ultimate           Never
Likeness           Destroy
                       Any
                       Relationship

Kesusahan

Kesusahan adalah satu pemberian
Tanpa keperitan, tiada tangisan
Tiada penilaian antara kebaikan dan keburukan

Kesusahan ibarat satu cabaran
Teguh apabila hampir runtuh
Cekal apabila kecewa
Bangun apabila jatuh
Sabar apabila dihina
dan gigih menempuh seruanNya

Kesusahan adalah sementara
Disamping mencari jalan yang penuh simpangnya
Kesusahan adalah pedoman
supaya hidup lebih bermakna

A Mother's Love

This poem was inspired from the poem 'Waiting For The Moment' and also Pn. Khatijah bt Ali (PK Koku, SMK Tmn Setiawangsa) as she wrote a Malay version entitled, 'Kasih Ibu' and requested that I wrote an English version.  Just trying to have fun with words.

A Mother's Love

Excited and anxious, feelings of joy.
No words to utter,
just faces and laughter.

Now that you are here, the bond unites.
The love is stronger,
as we walk together.

Our generations prolong, with the blood in your veins.
May we forever remain,
forever strong as a chain.

The day you started to speak,
reminds me of your motions and kick.
The emotions I carry,
will always be cherished dearly.

You are the soul, that enlightens my life.
One day you will fly, spread your wings up high.
And my love and affection, till death, will not die.

Written 8 July 2011.

You are my goal.

   I never speak of who I am.  A wife, a mother, a normal human being.  But a teacher is who I really am.  I've gone through a lot of obstacles in my life.  Life is never what we expected.  I teach because I care.  There's nothing more I want but to see my students succeed.  Whether you are excellent, average or novice, I'll guide you as much as I can.

I might not show that I care.  I might not be your favourite teacher.  I might be too sarcastic that you hate me so much.  But I never meant to hurt anyone.  Never do I have the intention to pull you down.  All my life I face challenges.  Those challenges are the only one keeping me going.  We will only fail if we stop trying, stop believing.  I will never stop teaching or believing that anyone can be successful.

You'll still young and you haven't seen what I have seen.  You haven't tasted what I have tasted and you haven't experienced what I have experienced.  I am for what I am.  I will never give up.  The more stubborn you are, the more I'll criticize.   Never look down on yourself.  Face up and proof to me you'll one of the best.  You will be the best.

I do not come to bet, I come to gamble.  I do not consider myself a loser, I am a competitor.  Whether I lose or whether I win, I never regret for trying.  You should feel that way too.

I do not talk, I listen.  I do not look, I observe.  I keep my distance because life teaches me that way.  But in my silence I have my goal.  You are my goal.  As you succeed, I might not jump in joy but I float in the air!

Alhamdulillah

     Sekembalinya membuka tirai 2011, inspirasi berputik apabila seorang anak murid mendorong untuk terus berkongsi buah fikiran dalam coretan yang sudah lama tenggelam ini.  Dengan membuat perjanjian bersama anak murid untuk mencapai matlamat masing-masing, aku pula bermatlamat sekurang-kurangnya sebulan sekali membuat entri.

    Alhamdulillah, terbuka pintu hati untuk berkongsi perkataan yang amat bermakna bagiku.  Dalam setiap perjalanan hidup, lidah tidak pernah kelu daripada mengucapkan alhamdulillah.  Kuasa yang Maha Esa, penyejuk jiwa raga.  Dalam kemarahan, dalam kesukaran, dengan nafas yang panjang, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.  Berkat keredhaan dan kesabaran, hati pun reda, jiwa pun tenang.

    Sememangnya setiap kali membuka mata, rasa syukur perlu ada untuk terus cekal menempuhi liku-liku kehidupan.  Tatkala hidup dalam kegelapan, usah mudah berputus asa.  Usah cepat melatah, usah membelakangi yang Maha Esa.  Pasti suatu hari sinar cahaya akan mewarnai potret hidup kita.  Walaupun tiada daun-daun emas bertaburan di halaman rumah, namun hadirnya tapak kaki kecil yang menghiasi taman, cukup indah untuk mengucapkan Alhamdulillah.

    Tatkala kita gagal dalam pelajaran atau percintaan, jangan cepat mengalah.  Jangan mencari jalan mudah.  Pasti segalanya ada hikmah.  Tatkala jatuh tersungkur, pasti ada tangan yang menghulur.  Masih ada yang mendengar walau bibir terketat rapat.  Masih ada sahabat, yang memberi kata-kata semangat.  Alhamdulillah.  Kuasa yang Maha Esa.    Namun, dalam kesenangan, jangan pula lupa daratan.  Kita manusia sama sahaja.  Cuma takdir yang berbeza.  Maka beringatlah, baik yang tua atau yang muda.  Dengan rezeki yang Allah permurahkan, tidak sukar untuk kita, menjunjung kedua belah tangan, Alhamdulillah.
