Cry on my shoulder

dedicated this song to.. Muffins
not forgotten my Lucky Star.

If the hero, never comes to you
If you need someone, you're feeling blue
If you wait for love, and you're alone
If you call your friends, nobody's home
You can rum away, but you can't hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night
Then I'll show you there's a destiny
The best things in life, they are free

But if you wanna cry: cry on my shoulder
If you need someone, who cares for you
If you're feeling sad, your heart gets colder
Yes I show you what real love can do

If your sky is grey oh let me know
There's a place in heaven, where we'll go
If heaven is, a million years away
Oh just call me and I'll make your day
When the nights are getting cold and blue
When the days are getting hard for you
I will always stay by your side
I promise you, I'll never hide

But if you wanna cry: cry on my shoulder
If you need someone, who cares for you
If you're feeling sad, your heart gets colder
Yes I show you what real love can do

But if you wanna cry: cry on my shoulder
If you need someone, who cares for you
If you're feeling sad, your heart gets colder
Yes I show you what real love can do

Tak sengaja pam anak dalam tandas

LONDON: Seorang wanita memberitahu sebuah mahkamah di Britain bahawa dia secara tidak sengaja mengepam anak yang baru lahir ke dalam tandas kerana tidak menyedari dia sedang melahirkan anak.

Claire Jones berkata dia menyedari dirinya hamil hasil hubungan sulitnya dengan seorang rakan sekerja, namun menganggap kesakitan yang dialaminya ketika awal pagi 28 Disember lalu akibat cirit birit.

Jones memberitahu seorang koroner di mahkamah Cardiff, Wales kelmarin bahawa dia hanya menyedari apa yang berlaku apabila melihat sepasang kaki di dalam mangkuk tandas.

Katanya, dia cuba menyelamatkan bayinya, namun gagal dan kemudian meletakkan mayatnya di tempat simpan barang dalam keretanya.

Mayat bayi itu ditemui dalam kenderaan Jones selepas dia ditahan. Dia diberi hukuman tertangguh kerana menyembunyikan kelahiran bayinya. - AP

Makan telur tingkat risiko diabetes

Wanita alami kesan lebih serius

WASHINGTON: Sekumpulan saintis Amerika Syarikat mendakwa amalan memakan sebiji telur sehari boleh meningkatkan risiko penyakit diabetes atau kencing manis sebanyak 60 peratus.

Malah, bagi wanita, risikonya jauh lebih tinggi iaitu 77 peratus.

Penyelidik Fakulti Perubatan Universiti Harvard dan Hospital Wanita Boston, juga memberi amaran, penghidap diabetes jenis kedua atau jenis yang dialami dewasa, boleh berdepan keadaan jauh lebih serius jika memakan beberapa biji telur sehari.

Mereka membuat kesimpulan itu berdasarkan kajian ke atas 57,000 wanita dan lelaki dalam tempoh 20 tahun.

"Tindakan memakan cuma sebiji telur dalam masa seminggu tidak memberi sebarang ancaman," kata hasil penyelidikan mereka yang disiarkan edisi terbaru jurnal Diabetes Care.

Sehubungan itu, doktor kini menggesa penghidap diabetes Jenis Kedua atau yang berisiko menghidapnya, mengehadkan pengambilan telur kepada cuma tiga biji seminggu.

"Jika masih ada yang berminat menjadikan telur sebagai makanan utama, pilihlah yang mempunyai kandungan Omega 3 lebih tinggi."

Biarpun menjadi sumber pelbagai sumber vitamin dan khasiat lain, telur juga mengandungi kolesterol yang tinggi dan lemak tidak tepu yang menjadi antara risiko diabetes Jenis Kedua.

Diabetes adalah penyakit yang mana paras glukos dalam darah terlalu tinggi disebabkan kegagalan badan menggunakannya.

Ada dua jenis diabetes iaitu Jenis Pertama membabitkan kegagalan badan menghasilkan sebarang insulin dan lazimnya berlaku sebelum individu berusia 40 tahun

Diabetes Jenis Kedua pula merujuk kepada masalah badan yang masih boleh menghasilkan insulin, tetapi tidak cukup.

Majoriti kes membabitkan mereka yang mengalami masalah berat badan lazimnya muncul ketika mereka berusia lebih 40 tahun. - Agensi

Michael Jackson peluk Islam

LOS ANGELES: Penyanyi kontroversi Amerika Syarikat, Michael Jackson, memeluk Islam dan menukar namanya kepada Mikaeel, nama malaikat yang memberi rezeki.

Superstar muflis berusia 50 tahun itu dilaporkan memakai jubah dan kopiah ketika mengucap dua kalimah syahadah di hadapan seorang imam dalam satu majlis di sebuah rumah rakannya di sini.

Akhbar The Sun dalam laporannya semalam mendedahkan majlis itu diadakan beberapa hari sebelum Jackson atau 'Jacko' dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Tinggi London, selepas disaman oleh seorang putera Arab.

Jacko yang dibesarkan sebagai penganut Kristian, dikatakan mengambil keputusan menukar agamanya ketika beliau menggunakan studio di rumah kawan rapatnya untuk merekodkan album baru.

Rakannya, David Wharnsby � seorang penulis lagu Kanada dan produser Philip Bubal, yang menasihatkan Jacko supaya memeluk Islam. Kedua-duanya juga sudah memeluk Islam dengan nama baru mereka Dawud Wharnsby Ali dan Idris Philips.

"Mereka mula berbincang mengenai agama dan bagaimana mereka menjadi seorang yang lebih baik dengan menukar agama. Tidak lama kemudian Michael mula menerima idea itu," kata sumber yang dipetik akhbar itu.

Jacko yang merakamkan lagu terkenal seperti The Way You Make Me Feel, bagaimanapun menolak nama alternatif, Mustafa � bermaksud orang yang terpilih.

Penyanyi Britain, Yusuf Islam, 60, atau nama asalnya, Cat Stevens, mengalu-alukan Jacko sebagai saudara baru.

Jacko kini berdoa untuk ke Makkah selepas satu majlis diadakan di rumah pemain keybord Toto, Steve Porcaro, 51, di Hollywood Hills yang menyusun album Thriller penyanyi itu.

Jacko, yang jarang keluar rumah tanpa memakai topeng, dijangka memberi keterangan Isnin ini dalam tuntutan saman berjumlah £4.7 juta (RM25.3 juta) oleh Putera Abdulla Al-Khalif dari Bahrain. � Agensi

Bahasa Melayu jawapan pada hambatan perpaduan

"Sahihlah kelompok yang semangat perkaumannya tinggi ini
seperti dedalu api hinggap ke pohon kayu; hingga di batang, mati batang, hinggap di ranting, ranting patah ini,
tidak diperlukan di Malaysia serta situasi ini perlu diteliti pemimpin Melayu, jangan sampai bangsa sendiri punah."

KELANCANGAN beberapa orang berkepentingan dalam politik yang mewakili kaum Cina dan India baik daripada parti pembangkang mahupun pemerintah, perlu ditangani segera oleh pihak berwajib bagi mengelakkan peristiwa mandi darah pada 13 Mei 1969 daripada berulang.

Dalam senario politik hari ini, kenyataan demi kenyataan berbau perkauman oleh beberapa pemimpin ini nyata memang disengajakan demi kepentingan peribadi yang meluap-luap dan kepentingan nasional sememangnya dihumbankan ke tepi..

Sesetengah daripada mereka ini tanpa segan silu mengeluarkan kenyataan dan tuntutan berbau perkauman meskipun parti yang mereka wakili mencatat pencapaian buruk pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-12 pada 8 Mac lalu dan sesetengahnya pula menang ekoran undi Melayu.

Hakikat kebaikan dan kemuliaan bangsa Melayu menerima kehadiran mereka dengan membuka ruang kerakyatan tanpa sebarang syarat ketika Tanah Melayu merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1957 dihumbankan, malahan dipunahkan dengan dakwaan orang Melayu juga pendatang.

Hakikat segala mudarat ini dapat dielakkan sekiranya pemerintah tegas dalam melaksanakan fungsi bahasa Melayu sebagai wahana perpaduan rakyat semua kaum negara ini seperti dibuktikan pemimpin terdahulu dan kini kita mengerti tindakan Indonesia dan Thailand dalam hal bahasa.

Seorang teman memberitahu penulis: "Indonesia mengharamkan penggunaan bahasa Mandarin di negara itu di samping melarang kemasukan buku dalam bahasa terbabit pada zaman pemerintahan Orde Lama dan mereka turut dilarang menggunakan nama Cina di negara itu.

"Segalanya itu dilakukan bagi memastikan mereka setia kepada pemerintah Indonesia. Langkah serupa turut dilaksanakan pemerintah Thailand terhadap orang Cina. Orang Melayu baik hati dan terlalu menjaga hati pendatang.

"Di Amerika Syarikat pula, sesiapa yang memohon kewarganegaraan diwajibkan menduduki peperiksaan yang menguji pengetahuan bahasa dan sejarah mereka berhubung negara terbabit kerana nilai kerakyatan bukan murah," kata teman ini ketika bertukar pandangan dengan penulis.

Bersediakah orang Cina dan India sekiranya syarat sedemikian dikenakan kepada mereka memandangkan yang bermati-matian memperjuangkan kemerdekaan negara daripada British dulu hakikatnya adalah orang Melayu?

Mereka yang ditatang bagaikan minyak yang penuh sehingga sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina dan Tamil masih beroperasi meskipun selepas 51 tahun Malaysia merdeka, masih enggan melihat dan akur dengan ketuanan Melayu, malahan memperlekehkannya.

Mahukah kelompok yang kononnya tidak memahami bahasa Melayu meskipun bernafas di bawah langit Malaysia sehingga menjadikannya sebagai alasan perlunya soalan peperiksaan diterjemahkan ke bahasa vernakular dilucutkan kerakyatan mereka?

Sudah sampai masanya pemerintah akur akan keupayaan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa perpaduan dalam apa juga era terutama ketika mengharungi pelbagai ancaman disengajakan oleh kelompok bersarung sesumpah ini yang sengaja mencari peluang untuk menyerang meskipun tidak diusik.

Sahihlah kelompok yang semangat perkaumannya tinggi ini seperti dedalu api hinggap ke pohon kayu; hingga di batang, mati batang, hinggap di ranting, ranting patah ini, tidak diperlukan di Malaysia serta situasi ini perlu diteliti pemimpin Melayu, jangan sampai bangsa sendiri punah.

Tiada gunanya lagi untuk bangsa Melayu menangisi sejarah yang sudah terpahat dan apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk tidak terus tunduk kepada kelompok yang sanggup menjahanamkan negara demi kepentingan peribadi.

Kesan tembikai seperti pil Viagra

TEXAS: Kajian baru mencadangkan bahawa tembikai mungkin menghasilkan kesan dalam tubuh sama seperti Viagra, mungkin memberi jalan kepada penawar semula jadi bagi lelaki yang menderita mati pucuk, kata Bhimu Patil dari Universiti A& M, di sini.

Penyelidikan dijalankan Patil dan rakannya baru-baru ini mendedahkan bahawa isi tembikai mengandungi paras tinggi asid amino 'citrullin' berbanding yang difikirkan penyelidik.

Sehingga penemuan itu, kebanyakan unsur citrulline dipercayai didapati pada bahagian kulit luar buah berkenaan yang tidak boleh dimakan.

"Kami mengetahui bahawa tembikai mengandungi citrulline, namun tembikai mempunyai lebih banyak citrulline dalam bahagian isi berbanding yang difikirkan sebelumnya," kata Patil.

Ia penting kerana tubuh menukar 'citrulline' kepada 'arginine', sejenis asid amino lain yang berfungsi sebagai perintis kepada nitrat oksida.

Nitrat oksida, sebaliknya memainkan peranan penting dalam mengembangkan saluran darah dan proses ketegangan zakar. Fungsi utama Viagra ialah mensasarkan nitrat oksida yang menandakan laluan dalam zakar.

Patil berharap penyelidik lain akan mula mengkaji secara terus kesan tembikai terhadap ketegangan zakar. Namun sesetengahnya agak ragu-ragu.

"Hanya kerana nitrat oksida diperlukan bagi menegangkan zakar, tidak bermakna memakan sesuatu yang kaya dengan citrulline akan menghasilkan 'arginine' yang cukup untuk menghasilkan ketegangan zakar," kata Irwin Goldstein, ketua pengarang Jurnal Ubatan Seksual dan bekas perunding bagi syarikat yang membuat ubat penawar mati pucuk. � Agensi

Perut buncit pendek umur

LONDON: Satu kajian terbaru mendedahkan bahawa mereka yang berperut buncit dan mempunyai lemak berlebihan di sekeliling pinggang berdepan risiko dua kali ganda untuk mati pada usia muda.

Kajian membabitkan 350,000 orang di seluruh Eropah dan disiarkan Jurnal Perubatan New England edisi terbaru itu menyatakan, lebihan lemak di bahagian perut menjejaskan kesihatan walaupun jika seseorang itu tidak dikategorikan gemuk dan mempunyai berat badan keseluruhan yang normal.

Ketua kajian dari Institut Pemakanan Manusia Jerman di Potsdam-Rehbrucke, Dr Tobias Pischon, berkata kajian yang dijalankan menunjukkan bahawa risiko mati pada usia muda bukan saja berpunca daripada kegemukan semata-mata tetapi juga disebabkan masalah pengedaran lemak dalam badan.

"Lemak di bahagian perut bukan saja menyimpan tenaga, tetapi merangsang pengeluaran sejenis hormon dikenali cytokines yang menyumbang kepada serangan penyakit kronik," katanya.

Beliau berkata, hasil kajian itu mencadangkan doktor agar mengira ukur lilit bahagian perut dan punggung pesakit, selain purata indeks jisim tubuh sebagai pemeriksaan asas yang mesti dilakukan ke atas pesakit.

Perbandingan yang dibuat ke atas pesakit dengan indeks jisim tubuh sama, menunjukkan bahawa risiko mati pada usia muda meningkat apabila ukur lilit pinggang mereka semakin besar.

"Risiko mati muda meningkat dua kali ganda bagi mereka yang mempunyai perut buncit iaitu lebih ukur lilit pinggang melebihi 120 sentimeter bagi lelaki dan lebih 100 sentimeter bagi wanita, berbanding mereka yang mempunyai ukur lilir lebih kecil iaitu kurang daripada 80 sentimeter bagi lelaki dan kurang 65 sentimeter bagi wanita," katanya.

Dr Pischon berkata, nisbah ukur lilit antara pinggang dengan punggung juga boleh menjadi penunjuk yang penting kepada keadaan kesihatan seseorang.

"Nisbah yang lebih kecil antara pinggang dan punggung menunjukkan risiko kesihatan yang lebih rendah berbanding nisbah yang lebih besar antara kedua-duanya," kata beliau. � Agensi

10 Ways to maintain a Healty, Happy and Long-term Relationship

by: Ivy Black

Most of us would like a "happily ever after" of their own. Maybe not always with the sugary glazing, but definitely a long lasting partnership is what many people crave for. Although this is not a comprehensive guide, these tips should definitely get you on the right track in finding your perfect other half.

Most of us have at some point in our life came across fairy tales, be it in the form of childhood fairy tales, where the prince and princess lived happily ever after, or the plethora of romantic comedies and dramas from Hollywood. They both have one thing in common - an idealistic view on relationships. It all looks so easy when watched from aside, but it does not teach us how to achieve it ourselves. And one thing is certain, prince charming won't fall from the sky, and no one can last in an euphoric love state 24/7 forever...

What are we to do than mere mortals? Well you can rejoice for one thing, as although it seems elusive true love and a strong life-long relationship is achievable if you try to be realistic.

Here are some rules that should help you get on track.

Be critical

It might sound like a bizarre advice, but it refers to you not others. Look at yourself and realize you are not perfect, and thus you cannot except others to be perfect either.

Be realistic

If you want a royal prince, who looks like a hot Hollywood actor, and has the intelligence levels of Einstein then yes - you will be disappointed with everyone you meet. Do not go the other way either - don't throw yourself into the arms of anyone that is willing to take you. This is a lot about knowing yourself and knowing what you really expect from your partner. And I cannot emphasize this enough - be realistic. Make a list and pick your priorities.

Know yourself

The first point to find your dream partner is surprisingly knowing yourself. A successful relationship is very much about having common interest and most importantly life priorities. Yes you can be pretty much opposites, but if you do not share at least some of the very core values, then chances are your relationship is not going to last long. This does not mean you have to be nearly clones of each other, like the same food, colours and songs. It's more about things like views on life, what kind of values are most important to you, what kind of living environment you prefer. Because if one of you wants to live in the centre of a busy city and go out every night drinking, and the other one prefers country life, drinking tea on the porch and not socializing much beyond closes friends and family, then problems are bound to arise. And although these are not insurmountable, they definitely make maintaining such a relationship quite a challenge.

Don't run away when problems appear

A lot of the problems with modern day relationships is that they are easy to abandon when things go astray. It's not that it was easier to enjoy a happy family before, but there was a lot more pressure on trying harder. And although this is a double edged sword - just as it helped save some relationships, it forced some others to stick together despite obvious failure, it definitely made people a bit more cautious about your choices.

This means three things for successful relationships. Firstly you should be slightly picky, and not diminish yourself and your values. Secondly you should remember that a relationship is not a constant, it's about two people in a way evolving together, so discrepancies in opinion and problems will appear sooner or later. Try and work these out. And lastly, if everything fails, contrary to your ancestors you have a choice. There is no point sticking in a dead end relationship just for the sake of it.

If it bugs you, do it yourself

When it comes to problems and flaws we tend to make a big deal of little things our partner does but not notice all the annoying things we do ourselves. Some things you can and should talk about. If you are doing everything and your partner just sits on the couch, then maybe you should check the previous point. Or just maybe, it is you who made things that way. Sometimes things do not have to be perfect. We are not all born with the same skills. One person's level of cleanliness might be another person's cleaning nightmare. Give your partner a chance, when a glass is not perfectly shiny after washing, mention it (But remember to keep it positive! No screaming and throwing plates about it...), and encourage them to do it better next time, rather than doing it yourself from there on.

The general rule is - do not be fussy about small things. If you want the towel folded in a certain way - do it yourself. If the trash is full, don't go rambling about it - in the time you spend on that, you could just as well thrown the trash out yourself.

Don't sacrifice yourself all the time

You always have to have a balance. There is nothing wrong in being a little bit selfish, but when one of the partners gives 100% and the other one 0%, sooner or later it is going to cause problems. The ideal situation is when both partners give a 100%, as then they both also receive a 100% from the other person this way. In reality, this will probably fluctuate depending on many different conditions like work, health, social life, family, even weather! It is OK to make extra effort for your partner, but if you keep living in overdrive 24/7 you will burn out (or, mind you, it might be your partner that burns out).

Be affectionate

This seems a very obvious one, but I find it quite sad how little affection people show each other these days. There is eroticism every where, and snogging, but what is important to a healthy relationship is not the outbursts of passion, it's good to have them, but something has to fill in the gaps too. And that something is simple touch, just holding hands while walking together, a little kiss here and there. People might deny it, but we are physical creatures, and physical contact helps create a bond and reassurance to the other person that you are still interested in them, and happy with them.

Talk, talk, talk

Just as we need to feel the other person around physically, it is good to talk about many different things. The insignificant - so that you can exchange your views on events and know how your partner feels about things. About problems - rather than let your anger or annoyance grow inside you into an insurmountable problem, let it out, tell your other half what is bugging you. Be wary though to do it tactfully and try not to hurt the other person's feelings while doing it. Imagine how you would like bad news to be delivered to you. A good advice is to avoid "You..." statements and exchange them for "I..." ones - this makes your sentences less like an accusation, and more like you expressing your concerns

Be creative

Make little gifts for each other - they don't have to be expensive. They don't even have to be presents. It is a nice way to show the other person you think about them. A flower without an occasion, going out to their favourite restaurant, cooking something they like, etc. Sometimes it's nice to be surprised even without a special occasion.

She is reaching.

I know i have a bad start and a bad ending. Nothing seemed to go in my way or as I planned this year. I know it is very disappointing. Somehow, I found my trueself but somehow I still lack in something. I couldn't change the past but one thing I can do is chart my way for a better life in the future.

"Life is what you make it"

Now I'm reaching the world beyond me.
I'm reaching for something that going to determine who I am in the future
I'm reaching me.

Let's get down to business.

Enough playing around.

I have disappointed my parents and teachers but not the school. I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
Now... Let's get down to business.
I'm going to chart my way and reaching the unexpected.

TQ.

Event Organiser

Event organisers are involved in the organisation of events from conception through to completion. Events can include:

• exhibitions and fairs;
• festivals;
• conferences;
• promotions and product launches;
• fundraising and social events.

They work in both the public and private sector and can work for event management companies, in-house for an organisation or freelance.

The role of event organiser is hands-on and often involves working as part of a team. Event organisers must be able to complete a wide range of activities requiring clear communication and excellent organisational skills and must respond quickly to change, ensuring the smooth and efficient running of an event.

» Typical work activities

The role of event organiser will vary depending on the organisation and type of event they are involved in. Typical activities include:

• researching markets to identify opportunities for events;
• liaising with clients to ascertain their precise event requirements;
• producing detailed proposals for events (e.g. timelines, venues, suppliers, legal obligations, staffing and budgets);
• securing and booking a suitable venue or location;
• ensuring insurance, legal, health and safety obligations are adhered to;
• co-ordinating venue management, caterers, stand designers, contractors and equipment hire;
• planning room layouts and the entertainment programme, scheduling workshops and demonstrations;
• organising facilities for car parking, traffic control, security, first aid, hospitality and press;
• identifying and securing speakers or special guests;
• co-ordinating staffing requirements and staff briefings;
• selling sponsorship/stand/exhibition space to potential exhibitors/partners;
• arranging accommodation for exhibitors and/or delegates;
• preparing delegate packs and papers;
• creating, implementing and monitoring marketing and PR plans;
• liaising with clients and designers to create a brand/look for the event;
• liaising with newspapers, TV, radio and other media;
• writing press releases or briefs in order to gain maximum exposure for the event;
• organising the design and production of tickets, posters, catalogues and sales brochures;
• co-ordinating everything on the day of the event to ensure that all runs smoothly;
• handling client queries on the day and troubleshooting exhibitor and visitor problems on the day;
• overseeing the dismantling and removal of the event, and clearing the venue efficiently;
• post-event evaluation (including data entry and analysis and producing reports for event stakeholders).

Small organisations will often sub-contract some of the tasks listed here, whereas big event organisers tend to undertake the majority of the work themselves, dividing the tasks amongst specialist teams within their organisation.

You are a great leader. You genuinely enjoy being around other people. Your relationships with others are very important to you. You love talking and meeting new people. You are very enthusiastic about work and about all that you do and have in your life. You love being the focus of attention. You enjoy a fast pace. You are very socially oriented. Therefore, you are much happier being with others than you are alone. You crave interaction with others.

You are very spontaneous and often act before you think. You are always quick to answer when you are asked a question, even if you aren't sure of the answer. It is easier for you to improvise as you go along. You enjoy thinking out loud, and are most creative when brainstorming with friends or colleagues. You enjoy being involved in many activities.

You are very easy to read, and often wear your heart on your sleeve. You are never afraid to tell people what you think. You are very empathetic and genuine. You can sometimes be seen as over-emotional or too involved by others. But that is only because you tend to get so involved in the things you do that they become personal. You want to be adored, loved and appreciated. You like to please others and to make sure people are happy.

You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.

You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don't get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You don't like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open.

Missing her badly!

I miss her so much...
Things are not the same without her.
I just want to be around or be here with me. I need her.
26 minutes talking to you just now is never enough because I want to hear more.
to see more. I miss u.

I miss you Mia.

"When you're gone, pieces of my heart will missing you..."

To understand... To know... & To trust...

In any relationship... Friendship or Love. You will get through this phase.
A phase I called, Improvement phase.

When you fell in love, you can't think wisely. All you can think is... you want that person badly. Afraid of losing that person. Day dreaming, can't leave him out of side... Get jealous easily and then u may cry because u think you can't have him. True isn't it? Love hurt when the person you love does not love you in return or doesn't tell you how he or she felt. Then, you start to think that you cannot have them. Love is blind but the blindness make your heart skip a beat and music fills the air.

But it's different when you are in the relationship you want to. You start to think wisely and make a room for improvement... "To understand, to know, and to trust..."

This is important phase to strengthen and sustain your relationship. You must always try to understand your friend. Do not just simple make them do everything in your way. In fact, you must follow theirs too. In this process you'll get to know them well. So, when you know them, you will tend to take care of that person. Your action will always speak louder than your word. Love can be felt without you saying a word. This is because you understand and know them better. Then you put your trust on them. You trust them in every way because you love them...

The stage is complete. You are the true love that one can never let go. Be wise and sensible.
But remember to improvise so that your relationship will not be lame... Be a cheerleader and a player at the same time. :)

muffins raya

A moment that bring us back together... forever.
I find a way back to love.

"i'm sorry"

I'm sorry to all of you.

I put a gap between all of us.

It's not your fault.

I'm asking you...

Please give me some more time?
to cure something inside me.
to look for a sign.
to throw away the thoughts I'm having right now.
the changes in me might hurt you.
It hurts me even more to see you still here with me.

If you're tired already with me...
I'm sorry.

"I will be fine..."

How far is the truth...?

I kept repeating the same statement over and over again.
I'll never tell the truth...because the truth is hurting me deep inside.
It's humiliating. It's only between two of us. Enough.

Because...

I won't cry anymore.

A Tale of The Cube.

"Friendship is like a rubik cube."

Why I'm saying so? A close friend of mine made me realize the fact I never realize before. At first he didn't succeed!
I'm so stubborn to accept the fact that we need friends by our side, even though we think that we don't need them all the time.. What I mean here is, if you need the time of your own... don't ever walk away from your friends because you'll get lost,

especially a person like me..

I did not accept the fact.

"Sometimes certain people are just not meant to be with a group of friends at certain time and they need to settle down on their own... I think I don't belong with all of you. You all will be just fine without me right? There are no rooms for me. It's not their fault. I'm the one who got the silly thoughts. It's okay... I'll be fine after this. And we will be 'muffins' again.."

"Sometimes I need a space of my own, pampered myself because I need to find the sign, God's sign. It seemed like I'm running away from all of you. I just need time and everything will be just fine... I promise you."

That is what I said...

So he said...

"Do you think you are going to learn by yourself? Do you think you'll be just fine without your friends? You need help... You need guidance... or else you will get lost. No one can learn by himself."

I saw the look at his face. I don't like it.. I knew he was so disappointed of me. I can see that. He didn't even look at my face when I'm talking. I told him, he couldn't change me. Even though he said so right now... but then I'm still me when I'm alone. When I'm alone by myself... Something do not strike me yet.

During our conversation, I played with his rubric cube. He managed to arrange all the green sides of the rubric cube altogether. It's amazing for me because I don't know how... He showed me the rubric cube and asked me, "What if one of the "green" missing. It will not be perfect right? It looks ugly.." Then I said, "It's okay, it will find its way back home...it will"

He did not say a thing anymore. Maybe he got tired and bored already. He should... why not?

Suddenly something happened and knocked me when I accidentally switch the position of the green side of the cube because I tried to show him one of the 'greenies' will find its way back BUT I got lost. I switched here and there... I failed to find the way back. All the 'greenies' were apart from each other now. I made it even worse. Even if one of them was near with each other but they still could not be together. I'm trying and kept trying... I'm totally lost.

He smiled at me and said... "Solve it by yourself. You can learn by your own right?"

"I need your help because I don't know how?!"
These came out from my mouth all of sudden.

Something STRIKED me. My own words. He smile again and then help me to arrange all the 'greenies' back.

"What did you learn?" he asked.

I smiled and... feel ashamed of myself perhaps? I feel so small~
Again... we smiled at each other.

So friends... That is why I'm saying friendship is just like a rubric cube.

"If they are together they will look nice and beautiful. But when one of them walking away from each other it might get lost... so each one them will trying to find the way back home to each other. Even though they are far apart, there is still a bond between them that keep them together at one place. That bond shall never be broken. They keep finding each other and finally they will be together... forever."

That is the purpose of friendship.

Don't waste it! >_<

Perfect Life or Perfect Lie?

pieces...

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don’t believe it makes me real
I thought it’d be easy
But no one believes me
I meant
all the things I said

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

On my own...

When you're gone... Now I'm gone.

This time with different version...
for different situation I'm having right now.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me.

It's hut to love and leave.
I tried this.
I thought it was easy but it's not that simple when you love someone very much.
Don't do this. You'll hurt more than that person.

I am fragile.
Very fragile...
Easily hurt...
Easily broken to pieces.
Hate to be leave
but try to leave
and finally gets hurt badly.
I've experienced this.

I will not do this again.

What's the purpose of friendship?

She does not need help...?
Please tell her what she supposed to do?

Are people in this world are meant to have friends?
She doesn't think so...
Some people just meant to be by themselves right?
It seemed like things just go well if and only if they are alone.
She's been through a hard time right now. Real hard for her...
She's Ungrateful.
Can I say that??? YES!

Muffins should taste sweet.
Muffins should feel the happiness..
But she kept telling herself that how pathetic she was when they are people around her helping her to get through any obstacles in front.
Since when she need help of others?
Since when things had change for any better??
Since when she's so terrible as she always rely on others???
She still doesn't get it doesn't she?
What's the purpose of friendship??

No. She'll never understand that.
It's so suitable for her whom used to be alone without friends long time ago.
It seemed that she is never belong to a group of friends.
Things are much better without her right?
You'll never understand what she want because she doesn't realize what she want with her life right now. Something is still incomplete but what??
Her silly thoughts never stop playing in her mind.
Is it too risky for her to belong in such friendship??
That's why she kept running away. She is the pebble in the shoe.
You shouldn't be with her because she is meant to be alone?
Is that right?

What the hell is going on her??
You'll never understand...
Because she didn't.
This time, DON'T help her.
You'll regret.

When you're gone

When You're Gone

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me.

|Dedicated to Alam, Mia, Ummi and Arina|

Normal breathing
But sometimes, this can attack me without me knowing it!

Satisfied, Mia?
hahahaaa... :P
Don't worry... I never fail take my medicine... (^_^)

Gloomy day~

I get sick a lot lately~ Don't know why. Too much work? Naaah~ "Hyperventilation", some kind of mental illness I am having right now. Excess taking of oxygen causing the percentage of carbon dioxide in my my body become lower and then I had to breath in the plastic bag to stabalised the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen back. It's not a funny thing. That's the ONLY way to cure it! Perhaps...THEY understand.

I'm not sick!

I'm just... not feeling well. But You all don't need to treat me like a sick person! I still can stand even though sometimes I lose my balance. It's not my point actually. I thank god because he had gave friends, not just friends but true friends who always take care me. I'm really grateful but sometimes... You all just being too kind to me and I felt guilty because I'm such a troublesome. And please... Don't treat like I'm sick always. Don't say "Haziqah don't do this... Don't do that... Don't pretend that you're not sick.." Enough with the "DONT'S"!!! I've heard it enough! What do you want me to do??! Sit down... Do nothing? I'm not blaming all my besties because they being too kind... You make me feel that I'm sick... I'm not. I'm Not. I'm Not.

I don't know why I cried today. Unfortunately he called me at the wrong time... Once again he had to hear something that might bored him a lot! It's all about me! Why he had to hear all this?! Wrong timing..!! You shouldn't hear all this... Perhaps you might think that I'm pathethic.

Sometimes... I think you're making fun of me. It's friends' chatting stuff.. Jokes.. But please! Enough! If you have to buy me a lot of plastic bags during my birthday. Then buy. Buy. So, what?! That's the only way I could control my sickness... And you? You're making fun of it~ I'm sorry to say this. First time.. ok! Second time.. still ok! Third time.. Fourth time.. And so on?? I've heard it enough dear friends. I have feeling too. Enough with the lame joke. I get bored already. I'm tired of people kept remembering me how sick I am. Perhaps you can tell me a better solution during emergency time?

Please.. Let me live this life as you all did! Forget my illness! I want to be like you too. But I'm different because among all of you, I'm very weak and always make all of you worry just because of my illness. And that makes us different.

Thanks Mia! You did what a friend did! You supported me. You held me Up. You take care of me like a big sis! I Love You! Love you so much. Only god know how lucky I am to be friend with you. But one thing I asked for... Give me a chance to prove that I'm not sick. Please tell me dear Mia.. that I'll be fine! Tell me that I am perfectly healthy enough so that I will not trouble you a lot. One little request from your friend...

Alam, sometimes I thought that you're being too firm with me. I can't do this and that. I know you want to take care of me and that what you always do. But please trust me this time? I won't get sick anymore. Please... give me a chance!

Arina... one little favour I ask from you is. Please understaand how I feel sometimes about the jokes. Yeah.. I'm entertained too but.. sometimes I can't take it anymore.

Ummi thank you! Eventhough you don't say a lot... I know that worried sick about me. I'm sorry for that.

Aliff...no.. I mean Dr. Aliff. hahaha! Thanks for your advice.

Dear friends, I know how much you love me, and I'm grateful to be Haziqah who has so many wonderful friends, true friends who are really friends that never leave you behind.

I'm asking just once...
Trust me!
Tell me that I'll be OK.
(instead of... "You're sick Haziqah)
Please!

Thank You! Love You!

Meet Lucky!

Meet Lucky!

Hye There! Here are a few posts you should read in my blog! :) It's kind of interesting..

It hurts to love and not be loved in return

but what is the most painful is to love

and never find the courage

to let the person know how you feel.

A sad thing about life

is when you meet someone

who means a lot to you

only to find out in the end

that it was never meant to be

and you just have

to let go...

Be a friend. You don't need money;

Just a disposition sunny;

Just the wish to help another

Get along some way or other;

Just a kindly hand extended

Out to one who's unbefriended;

Just the will to give or lend,

This will make you someone's friend...

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Lesson No. 1

Admit & Accept

Imperfection is something god had create inside everyone because it makes you special, it makes you learn more and more, it is a chance for you to be creative and it gives you personality. You can always be the person you are. There are a lot of people outside there who can still accept you.

Accept your weaknesses because they can be your strength.

Cast your fear aside because you always know that you are strong enough to survive with the help of people who never back off when you said you don't need their help because they love you and they are your friends.

Life is like a ball.
Most of people will say that Life is like a wheel.
Ball? What's the connection? hahaha! I don't know how it come out from someone's mouth...
He said that life is like a ball. Sometimes we will be at the upper side and sometimes at the bottom. If we want to be at the upper side always, how are we suppose to move ahead or go further? No improvement, just the same old person while others become a new, successful person.

That makes sense!

When you feel like hope is gone
Mariah Carey said that

"There's an answer if you reach into your soul. And the sorrow that you know will melt away. When you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong. And you'll finally see the truth. That a hero lies in you."

But I'm saying that...

When you feel like hope is gone... Look at your side or behind you because you can always find someone you can count on. Friends who are willing to help you always.
I asked my friends if I had put so much burden on them lately.
The answers are simple..

"What are friends for"
"We are just little helping hands"
"If we appreciate friends, then make them feel that you need them."

You're never alone when you have FRIENDS

Last but not least...

especially when you have them...
