Thursday Thought: Methaporic Life

Image
Yesterday morning, I cut my finger while preparing my avocado toast for breakfast. It was chaos, I was bleeding badly and yes, I was late to office, as a result.  This incident is not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. I somehow realized that I have this love-hate relationship with knife, any knife. No, am not gonna admit about me being careless or clumsy but because I know I am, sometimes... and I am OK, I still love myself for that. What to hate, it's cute tho. Point is, the determination. I was hurt but still I'm unable to part with it - the knife. I cut myself several times but still I need it to make my life easier. I accidentally injured myself but still i consider it important because I need to cook. I never give up. It does break my heart but I am okay, I survive. I moved on, plastered the wound and get on with my life. Sounds too methaporic but I never thought of it as a life lesson. It's a good lesson, huh? So much drama yet so inspiring. Th...

Thursday Thought : About Life

Image
 If you live an ordinary life, you will have ordinary stories - some people said. Well, I lived mine with full of ups and down. Sometimes am drowning with hopes and dreams when reality stuck nowhere. I am not sure what life to call it. Not ordinary, not even typical. It's overwhelmed but sometimes exciting. So, what kind of stories can I tell? About an ordinary human living in a normal life full of adventure?  Life itself is a stage for that thing you call adventure. Life without F will be just a lie you made in this living arena. F is the fun part, the f*cked-up portion, the feeling you are allowed to have in different situation and the frustration you may get throughout the journey. Not to mention the family and friends you need as a support system. You need the F to live life to the fullest. Let me share you how, as an ordinary human being we can live an adventure life without trying too hard. I've learnt those throughout the years of finding the meaning of it, but s...

The Missing Pieces

Image
​ I am currently in the mood for job hunting. Its quite a routine to visit LinkedIn and Jobstreet almost everyday. While browsing, I always ask myself why are the jobs available does not entice me. I don't know, is it the job or is it me? It took myself quite some times to think about it. Why couldn't I find a job that spark my interest? I've worked for more than 10 years. I'm now in a middle-management position and yet, finding the right job is too difficult for me. What do I really want in my career life? Do I even want it at all? You see, those are the questions flying inside and outside my mind. I know those are valid questions. In fact, I've been thinking about it like forever. I have goals and my goals were reviewed annually and sometimes quarterly, based on the current situation. This 'looking for new job' process made me realize that there's a lot of missing pieces in this journey. I have to set up a different goal and may need few contingency pl...

Perspective : The Sashimi Lesson

Image
I saw a quote about perspective. Can't remember much but something sounded like: 'If you like to complain, then you'll be given with a lot of things to complain about. Likewise, if you like to compliment, you'll be seeing things to compliment about'. I saw that while scrolling my FB. It somehow triggered me to my IG Story post few minutes earlier, complaining about the place I had my lunch at where the services were bad and the food was incomplete. Now, I started to remember the hours before I had my lunch where I mumbled about something and someone out of the blue. Ah, I complained a lot today. And it'll keep coming if I didn't stop complaining. Right? Perspective is the way we see at things and process it inside the mind to become either good or bad. If we choose to digest it as something negative, it will somehow become negative in our own perspective. Your view may be different from others but you are not wrong to have that opinion too. However, if you t...

2020 : Expectation and Reality (Life of Fi)

Image
Hello Twenty Twenty! You just appeared in a blink of an eye. I still remember those days when the former Prime Minister (and the current one) announced about Wawasan 2020, I was so anticipating it. Honestly, I have the same imagination of flying cars, mobile hand phone, cool gadgets..well something like the Back to The Future movie. It may sound like am copying other people but no! It's true. Maybe we were in the same batch. Waiting eagerly for the day to come. Suddenly, tadaaaa! "Here I am", said Twenty Twenty. And I was like.. Shit! Shit! Shit! (the never ending one). Towards the end of December 2019, I was still ignoring twenty twenty as if it's not gonna happen anytime soon. By early January, I was a bit scared because my 3 series number is somehow getting bigger. Blew candles (yeay), wishes and gifts (cool), replying each and every message received (wow)...and then something struck my head. I wasn't actually ready. That simple moment disturbed ...

Disebalik Lirik Anak-Anak Kita - Karya Dato' M.Nasir

Image
Dah hampir sebulan duk ralit layan lagu M.Nasir. I memang peminat M.Nasir dari zaman belajar. Mungkin sebab makna-makna tersirat di sebalik lagunya yang bukan je sedap untuk didengar, malahan seronok untuk dikupas. Tapi tak semua pun dapat dikupas dengan mudah. Jenuh juga la tanya encik google. Antara lagu kegemaran I yang patriotik ni adalah lagu Anak-anak Kita. Lagu ni sangat dekat di hati dan sepatutnya menjadi satu mantera untuk orang-orang Melayu. I bukan racist melampau. I faham erti keharmonian hidup di dalam masyarakat majmuk. It's okay. Kita dah lama hidup sekali. Rukun. Tapi, sebagai orang Melayu, I rasa kita patut menjaga hak kita seadanya. Hence the lyric: Jaga Jaga Anak Kita, Jangan Sampai Jadi Hamba Bait-bait di dalam lirik lagu ni jelas sebuah peringatan untuk kita yang hidup agar melakukan segala yang terbaik supaya anak kita nanti bakal menjadi manusia yang ampuh. Dengan perubahan politik semasa, ekonomi dunia yang jatuh bangun mengikut trend, peningkat...
