So I want to take this time out
to apologize for things that I’ve done,
Things that haven’t occurred yet,
And things that they don’t want to take responsibility for.



In the spirit of Shaaban! Inspired by Akon's Sorry, Blame It On Me and Dr. A’id Al-Qarni, I’d like to share an excerpt from the book ‘You Can Be The Happiest Woman In The World: A Treasure Chest of Reminders’ by Dr. A’id:

Think of the world as a whole;
Of the hospitals filled with patients who have been stricken with disease and calamity for many years. And the prisons in which thousands of people are held behind bars, their lives and pleasures ruined. And the asylums and hospitals which accommodate people who have lost their minds and have become insane. Are there not poor people living in tattered tents and hovels, who cannot find a bite to eat? Are there not women who have been stricken with calamities that took away all their children in a single accident? Or women who have lost their sight or hearing, or whose arms or legs have been amputated, or who have lost their minds, or who have been stricken with chronic diseases such as cancer and the like? But you are sound in body and in good health, living a life of tranquility, security and contentment. So give thanks to Allah, the Exalted, All-Merciful for His blessings.


Like I said before, you gotta take your muse wherever you can find them.


In the spirit of MERDEKA! You know lah kan? I memang just have to write about our national team beating Myanmar by 3-1. Woohoo! Kudos, Malaysia! Rugilah if you are among the few yang memilih untuk tidak menonton semalam. The barisan pemain! Not only they (mostly) looked good, they played well too! I now have another name added to my Potential Name For Future Son list - ZAQUAN. Ngeee. Anyways, I think Christopher Raj says it best in his article, Merdeka High in the NST today:


Last night, Malaysia, powered mostly by Under-23 players and with Safee in inspirational form, took their time settling down but once they did, they took the fight to Myanmar. The Malaysian game had a touch of aggression in it and it served them well as Myanmar were equally robust. [Read the rest of the article in NST]
