Welcome, please take a read here before moving on.

Hello and welcome. It doesn't matter if you know me or not, my stories and photos are for you to enjoy. They are (and will be) a collection of events in my life which i feel i want to share with everyone.

One important aspect you must remember in my blog are the labels. Browsing by the labels, i believe, will let you read more of what you want. Most will be direct enough however, there are some that will be for example "to my kids". These are the stories i want to share especially with my beloved "kids". They may be also specifically directed to a individual among the group (but i will never mention who for privacy's sake). Nonetheless, feel free to read them also. Nothing i write here cannot be shared.

The last thing is, among the photos and stories here, feel free to take them for personal use or share them also among your own friends and family. But on your own honour, i trust that you WILL NOT COMMERCIALLY REPRODUCE any material (photos, videos, stories etc.). I share these for free with no intention what so ever to make money out of them but just hoping it will expand one's horizon and be an inspiration to others. I hope that you too can respect my decision and belief and follow suite.

Thank you & enjoy =D

Rain

I love rain
Has anyone realized how beautiful rain is?
Each drop, making it's own courageous journey from the heavens,
Flying, gliding down to the scorched parched earth...

There is a saying - still water runs deep
There is no denying, it is calm up to a certain extent
Yet, at the bottom of it all, the fury of the torrents rage on
The perfect balance of things, or just a painful reality?

**********

As how someone i know used to go : "Saya tak gembira..."
Recently i seem to like that phrase very much as well...

Sometimes i really don't understand myself
On one hand, i am the eye of the storm
Yet, i'm the gale that surrounds it as well

**********

You know what the worst part of being away is?
The distance
The distance from things you hold true and dear
The distance from some of your childhood dreams
The distance from ideals and promises that you have held on your entire life
The distance from the familiar senses that make your day whole
The distance from the emotions that some may have tried to escape
The distance from the pillars that hold you up
The thought of being away....

**********

I'm here,
away...
I don't have much :

- a few dreams
- a small new family
- the excitement something new
- the spirit of a traveler
- believes
- faiths
- courage
- hopes

and yet...
I have everything
