Unwind

A very busy life led,
A break it needs,
A smile from a sad,
To this weary soul it feeds...

-Haze

An interlude amidst life's constant grind..heh


A tired face on the way home....had a very bad migraine as well...maybe not adaptable to the surroundings in JB...hmmm 



after signing all the documents with Mum and Bro, headed to Giant and afterwards to Angsana....jampacked with so many entities...bought a cloth to be made into a baju kurung for the upcoming Eid..heh 



watching Diana Krall crooning her tunes especially "The Look of Love"...alhamdulilah for Allah's gifts...hmm 



the family car...prepared to move..heh 



A fresh face ready for the trip to JB 



Smile

A golden ray permeates,
Proud and exquisite,
Never it deviates,
From its path so definite..

-Haze


A beautiful handphone strap.....given to me by a very good friend...yep, it was from Hus...merci beaucoup...a simple gift displaying my personal insignia that puts a golden smile on my face.... :O)



Insight

The waves splashes wildly,
Ripples of it mirroring,
Death ever comes so silently,
Unexpected and ever daring...

-Haze

hmmm...I felt uneasy today....what it was, I could not fathom...this was the same feeling when my late first uncle departed to rahmatullah...hmm..I was quite unsettled and called Abah on the handphone...phew...alhamdulillah he was okay...and afterwards called my mother...pheww...both are healthy and well...hmm...I love Abah despite the responsibilities he put on me...whatever life's adversity, he was there for me...thank you, Abah.....then, when I was on the way home after a short project meeting at NIE with Hus, Her and Jufrie, my hands were quivering....sheeshh....what the heck was wrong with me.....finally,when I was just about to step into the comfort of my home, Mama uttered to me that she had received a phone call from my aunt.....when I heard the news, I was stumped.....my mind went totally blank....I knew him for only a short duration...he was a very reserved man and a fantabulous father to his kids....he was very nice to me...I respected him, irregardless of what his son had done to me.. and still do respect him till today.....haizzz...just hope that his deeds he did in this world will be accepted by Allah s.w.t and his soul rest in peace....innalillahiwainnailahirajiun......life is short,cherish your loved ones and live life to the fullest...hmm


Evermore

The sense of enlightment,
Glowing through this tiny crack,
Is there an evermore enjoyment?
How can it be taken back?

-Haze

Enfeebled by work.....chucked it all aside and headed to Marine Parade Popular with Nura...attained what we required...then at the neighbourhood vicinity, we encountered a very colourful pre- Chinese New Year bazaar ...a myriad of parapharnelia that bamboozled every brain wave in me...whoaa...heh...Nura got her new bag at Isetan Parkway....I was eyeing it with envy....shhh...I got the same brand but a different design at Isetan Tampines Mall after we parted.....the Emily Strange bag is worn....lame excuse ehh...and to satiate the super hungry retail hunter in me....I dropped by Challenger and acquired a new extra thumb drive with a higher storage capacity and a DVD RW...all done in a few hours worth of retail therapy......now I am recharged to face yet another 'sunny' day....hmm...maybe I should head to East Coast ehh to rewind...the sun, sea and ahemm...surf... :OP .heh...lurveeeeee the nearby amenities....hmm..


Ill

The tormented soul locked within,
Ill and wailing within its midst,
Strangled by an enemy from breathing,
Restoration this entity needs...

-Haze

I am invaded by the flu bug.......my health is threatened by this minute being....haizzz.....I need to recuperate before Monday beckons......taking all the immediate precautionary measures...heh.....I weighed myself on the weighing scale today and was flabbergasted...whoa.....yeah gained a few kilograms.....got to be stringent on my eating habit...hmm...I feel bad today that I could not make it to Macritchie Reservoir with Eton for the nature walk..truly sorry yaa Eton...make it up to you some other time....hmm..back to doing the lesson plans now....till then...


Labrador at night....many people said that it's eerie....are you all sure?I did not encounter any zombies or unwanted 'ahem-ahem' beings except stunning silhouettes of trees....it was drizzling on that day...silently fantabulous...



Detested Winnie the Pooh cover on the steering wheel....but Abah told outright that there were no other types of steering wheel covers, thus he had to make do with it...duhh... 



Drove around today....headed to the same haunts....Changi and Labrador Park....needed the short break... 



A dose of presence

This is the dominion,
of my minute presence,
can't release from the pinion,
of the continuous teaching lessons..

-Haze

Bonjour....finally...free from the constrictions of mind boggling travail..pheww..but another day looms with new laborious tasks to complete...hmm


yaaa I know...the cubicle is in a messy state....I have not decorated it yet....thus it looks bare with the minimum essentials....It's not a bed of roses to bear the brunt of teaching English to 2 P4 classes and Science to a P4 class okay....I am furrowing my brows now....wrinkles are going to appear soon?anyone suggesting wrinkle free cream to me?hmmm..



hmm...insufficient time to update the blog....despite it's stinginess, TNS is able to afford and provide the latest Fujitsu laptop to some of its new staff....heh...I am glowing with pleasure....it's feather light and...it has a DVD burner okay....haven't utilise it yet....:)



after the morning session.....weary face....my cubicle is hidden at the corner...at least nobody can inspect on my every move....heh 



Pennings

Life's events written,
Straightforward and clear,
Hidden are the rotten,
Amongst this heart's clutter....

-Haze


Many thoughts are crossing my mind....heh..actually I do not know what to pen today...I ain't into aimless ramblings......what is the purpose of me being here.....to showcase my minute life events?When I began my ramblings here more than a year ago, I was quite apprehensive about revealing my life, however, it had obviously lighten the burden of harbouring my feelings in my mind and expanded my poetry to a level I thought I could not muster......alhamdulilah, it created an avenue too where I could make new friends and the accidental renewal of lost friendships.....hmmm....time to return to doing my schoolwork....hmm


Rest

Body aching from exertion,
A rest it needs for a moment,
An overdrive of tension,
Escaping and looking for contentment..

-Haze

I didn't saw Hus today....heard from Liza that Hus experienced contractions....whoaa...I hope Hus is fine....still waiting for her sms....a very mundane day at NIE...dropped by the computer lab before the CEM 205 tutorial with Her to print out lecture notes...my school is stingy with paper....only a stack is allowed for each staff every month.....so miserly ehh...just make do.....I have to drill myself to peruse the notes into this dysfunctional brain....heh..


Satiate

A severe hunger dominates,
The pangs so severe,
Not a single thing terminates,
This aspiration held so dear..

-Haze


Exhausted face ehh.. it's worth the effort...and to commemorate the objective reached, my younger bro and I drove around, consuming Black Forest generously topped with whipped cream from Coffee Bean.....simply delightful... I won't be appeased until the ultimate is obtained....God-Willing..



Indignation

The face feeling fiery red,
Like a dormant volcano erupting,
Angry words to be said,
Unhappiness really hurting.

-Haze

Sometimes Abah can be quite adamant when he wants to achieve his wish.....sheeshh...he is buying a house in JB....and asking me n younger bro to be the guarantors.....WhAT THE Blardy bowl!!!!.....isn't it sufficient that I am assisting in the monthly payments of the family car...is he plungin me into bankruptcy?.....need to budget my finance every month.....what fiddlesticks is my dad up to ehh.....Abah does need a reality CHECK!........arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..what a crazy world this is!


Syawalina at over 2 months old....snapshot taken when I was at Abah's house for Hari Raya Haji....she's soo adorable....she likes to gnaw on people's feet...a very mischievious cat indeed...



Virtual Insanity

All twirling around,
A virtual insanity,
Are our minds sound?
In this frantic city......

-Haze

Work's chaotic frenzy is getting to me......I am flipping like a fish out of water, desperately clinging on for dear life......sidetracking here, wishing all fellow Muslim bloggers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and those performing pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca...haji mabrur...hmm


Missing

A void is created,
Something is amiss,
A past that withered,
Sent away with a kiss.

-Haze

A past revisited and reminisced.....nonetheless, it will slowly perish.....can it be regained...the answer lies with a person whom the individual used to love.....can it wait?till when?when the gates of death beckons?....a period is given to you....the option now lies with YOU.


Received a surprise call from Down Under roughly about an hour ago....yep..it was from Faisal....we exchanged news with each other...even managed to gossip about our former school....that place was a jinx to us.....thank goodness we left that dreaded place and moved on....both of us will be achieving our dreams of acquiring the BA degree sometime next year..insya'Allah....appreciate that call from you, buddy.......you put a smile on my face...hmm


Saccharine

The sweetness accentuates,
Repelling the negative aura,
Around it all vibrates,
Awakening the puny flower...

-Haze


It has been quite awhile that I did not go to Mount Faber....it was serene yesterday....and I was intoxicated by the surroundings...you can see the droplets of water on the car window...yeah., it was a cloudy evening...and then drove to Changi to grab a bite of the tasty nasi lemak and that.......saccharine pineapple drink....it was homemade by the nyonya rather than the usual pineapple syrup from the can...quenched my thirst.....Faisal emailed me recently to send a heartfelt greeting from Australia....he is my ex-colleague from MTS who is pursuing BA at one of the universities there...I am obscured whether it is University of Queensland or another University....I assume he is taking BA in Mathematics or Sports Science....I wish him all the best in his endeavour.The tutorials have commenced...saw Hus during CEM205 module....she's due in a few weeks' time....how time flies ehh.....it's as if I had attended her wedding yesterday...it was nice to see u again eh Hus...don't forget to sms me after the delivery yaa....hmm...



Occupied

Hustle and bustle of work,
Endless meetings and teaching,
Where is the sluggish perk?
Somewhere in the dark hiding..

-Haze

Harlow.........been awhile I had been missed.....totally engulfed in the land called 'occupation'.....i am following Abah's mantra and it is working wonders...heh....still clouded of when CEM 101 tutorial is commencing....coz I am replacing Nura(my new TNS colleague...she's a very nice individual)for the Speech and Drama course conducted at a primary school in the northeast cluster on Mondays.....hmmm...I am still adjusting to the new environment......I vision the future is gonna be a tedious ride......heck....I have to endure it I suppose.....hmm


Love

The stars twinkling in the night,
Sparkling and emanating tenderness,
The love that hides out of sight,
Only leaving a spot of bitterness..

-Haze

Love sux BIG TIME....and it's a a white lie...so never be fooled by it.
