Mak Babi Hutan

Kisah bermula dengan sedang mengambil asam pedas di dapur. 

Terdengar sosok2 di sebelah rumah dalam kelapa sawit yang berjarak 20 meter jauhnya. 

Kelihatan 3 ketul berwarna kelabu yang comel sedang sibuk mencari makanan dan di belakang mereka kelihatan seketul kelabu bersaiz besar sedikit. 

"Eh gemuknya," bisik aku.

Dia pandang aku.

Aku pandang dia. 

Kami berpandangan agak lama. 

Aku kalah pandangan itu. 

Aku sambung cedok asam pedas dengan perlahan-perlahan.

 Aku terasa diperhatikan.

Ah nampaknya dia masih memerhatikan aku. 

Aku rasa nak demam. 

Begitulah ceritanya.

Heavy Day

After 5 months, I look after him. He's gone.

It was the day I had a big exam to take care of, an appraisal and he died on that day.

Good bye. You are a good cat.

Thank you for being me for all this years.

It is weird when you take care of it.

I said to Allah, don't let me take his away. Only Allah can take his away.

It was heavy released.

It was a heavy day.

He was happy.

20 Words of Reminder to Make You A Stronger Person

My words are nothing compare to that Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. 

Today is the first day of Ramadan. You must remember this things.

 1. You are alone in this world and nobody you can count on to. You must count on yourself.

2. Do not tell your problem to other people. They do not understand and you need to solve it by yourself. 

3. Do not give up. Try as many as you can.

4. You must be sometimes doing stupid and you are arrogant, but this are the lesson that you need to learn.

5. Failure and lesson make you a better and stronger person. 

6. Be courages and be kind.

7. Sometimes crying and screaming are relieving. So cry until you feel relieve.

8. Take small step towards your goals. Be consistent.

9. You can dream the impossible. Dream within your strength.

10. Do not care about what other people says as long as it can solve your problem.

11. If it is weird or unconventional to other people, and that make you happy, just do it.

12. Small but quality is good.

13. Good and bad people exist either to nourish and crush you. They come as part of your life.

14. Forcing to do things you do not like is scary, do not do it if they did not give any meaningful consequence to your life.

15. Good reading are unbeatable. There's nothing wrong being a book worm.

16. People will be skeptical and judging towards you. Animals and trees are not. Get close and appreciate them as many as you can. 

17. Remind yourself how important the time is. 

18. Achievement is good but your journey to it, is important. It makes who you are.

19. Travel and meet all types of people. Get out from your circle. It makes you a better person because you will understand what people are going through.

20. Everyone have fear. Try to control your fear to anything except Allah. Put all your life in Allah. Beriman kepada Qada' dan Qadar.

Kisah Budak Kecik

Pagi tadi memang macam budak kecik aku. Kelam kabut setel pasir kumbahan Blaczer. Sampai kat pintu nak masuk Qu Belang dah standby kat pintu. Terkam Blaczer nak makan. Terkejut orang tua tengah. Aku halau Qu Belang sebab dia mula mengembang ajak gaduh. Tutup pintu aku kuar, Qu Belang tengah berlari di depan terkam aku balik macam harimau belang. “Mak, Belang gigit akak!” bergegar satu rumah. Terus lepas kengapan Belang kat kaki aku. Macam budak kecik ngadu kat mak sambal nak nangis. Sakit kot kena ngap dengan harimau belang kecik ni. Sampai berdarah kaki aku. Dia balas dendam kat aku ke.

Sambung pulak, ada yang lain pulak macam nak nangis sebab tak folo procedure. Aku cakap, “Relaks. Relaks”. Aku terus bergerak ke depan. Nak tukar selipar jamban sebenarnya dari tadi.

Kisah budak kecik.

Senarai Kontot

From Quora, thank you Trini Cariaga for the shortlist
"Personally… I describe myself as:
  • Annoying, but informative.
  • Soft, but heavy-handed.
  • Gentle, but honest.
  • Curious, but scared to ask.
  • Desire to wander, content to stay.
  • Easily excitable, but calm.
  • Obsessive, but not obnoxious.
  • Caring, but often not very attentive (too far in my own head).
  • Unresponsive, but feels a lot.
  • Polite, but brash when offended.
  • Optimistic, but can get myself down.
  • Hopeful, but unsure.
  • Passionate, but lazy.
  • Unorthodox in a crowd, but wants to not be noticed.
  • A heavy dreamer, a light sleeper.
  • High ambition with low motivation.
  • Daydreamy, but weighs out logic.
  • Creative, but feels like I always have artist’s block.
  • Quiet, but talkative when the right subject comes up.
  • Quiet-lover, but a melomaniac (I cant get enough of music and use it as a tool and coping mechanism).
  • A total contradiction
I have a habit of trying to predict the future and making myself sad or excited as a result… only to find that the situation turns out completely different than I could have ever imagined (good or bad).
I don’t like to be noticed and I don’t like people looking at me, but I love to be unique and I wear fantasy and alternative fashions because I like to feel otherworldly. Unfortunately this warrants the unwanted attention of other humans usually.
I could veg out for hours. Give me a large picture window overlooking the woods or the city with cars going by, a good spot on the floor, good music, a sketchpad, my laptop, my phone, and some snacks and I can stay there literally all day. For at least two days. Honestly, I don’t even need all that. Just the music and the window… I can even stare at a wall and veg out for a long time.
When I am hyperfixated on something I WON’T STOP. Whether a movie, a video game, a story, a cartoon show, a live action show… I won’t stop thinking about it obsessively for 3–5 months straight. I listen to music and the characters are all I think about. They are all I draw and care about for that length of time. Until.. I move on to the next obsession.
I want to go to foreign, magical, exciting places, but I don’t want to do the work and all the gobbledygook to get there."

Air Con

Pagi ni aku datang dan bukak aircond untuk kelas pagi. Aku on macam biasa guna remote tapi tak on jugak. Maka, aku bukak source power dekat dinding dan on tapi tak on jugak. Aku saba. Aku terpikir nak panggil brader maintenance ke.Aku duduk bukak komputer dan tenang2 cek emel. Setelah 15 minit, aku bangun untuk pergi menenangkan diri lagi, aku singgah lagi untuk cuba bukak. Alhamdulillah, dia on.
Dan sebenarnya aku pikirkan sama juga dengan masalah. Kadang2 kita perlu biar sekejap, bagi tenang dan datang kemudian. Dan kadang2 jugak kita putus asa dan agak2 dia dah tak boleh go dah tapi sebenarnya perlu masa. Serah pada Allah. Tak perlu kelam kabut. Tapi kalau dah mentol pecah tu tukarlah. Kakaka

Kisah Pendek Nasi Ayam

Aku dalam situasi memeritkan. Mak aku mahu beli nasi ayam sambal. Banyak kali kami order but cannot get it right. Every time. Tapi kami tidak berputus asa. Nasi ayam sambal, nasi ayam masak merah, nasi ayam dengan sambal.
Aku ke kaunter, menerangkan nasi ayam. Bukan nasi ayam yang dengan ayam masak merah. Ayamnya hendaklah dilumurkan dengan sambal ye. Ayam masak sambal 3 yang tak taruk sambal 1.Begitulah aku menerangkan.
Hampir 15 minit kemudian datang budak kecik perempuan bertanya. Nasi ayam tu nak yang macam mana Kak? Lalu aku terangkan seperti tadi.
Hampir 15 kemudian siap. Aku beri duit kepada budak perempuan tadi. Sementara dia memulangkan balik baki duit aku jengah 4 polisterin. Sah salah lagi.
Aku give up. Puas kami pikir kata perbuatan sama maksud dengan lumur. Macam2 Mak aku suggest balut, sampul.
Kisah pendek nasi ayam kata adik aku.
Tapi kita tak boleh putus asa kan?
Takkan aku nak terangkan cara masa nasi ayam pulak.
