To a stranger

Dearest stranger,
Come to me in my dreams
Cure this hopeless longing
Feed my curiosity
And i shall fly again.

Dearest stranger,
Cross my path soon
As u did erstwhile
Then take my hands
And be my antidote.

Dearest stranger,
My heart longs for you
So intense, its unbearable
So shower me with your love
And let me be your sunshine


*i suck at this. trying to write again, the last time was when i was still in school. had a crush on my mind for this one.

F

every word
every moment
every fight
every smile
every laugh

i remember.

at my lowest point
i think of you
at my happiest moment
i remember you

you are like
a disease that can't be cured
stuck in my heart
forever.

Pointless Cruelty.

i am currently working in a learning centre [as they called it..tho i still think its a tuition centre anyway.. what big difference is the two anyway?? but they'll get mad if you say its a tuition centre.so i respect my employer's opinion. it is a learning centre.]

and i have always been fascinated at how the parents of the kids here are just extremely cruel. okay, not extremely cruel, but too pressuring, they have such high expectations of their children.

its school holidays, and yes, i do agree even though it is, they still need to do their revision. but these parents.. one of my students said they have to go to tuition every freaking day, even though its school holidays.. and then they had to come to this so call learning centre am teaching in.

okay perhaps that is still not so bad.

but even during normal school days.. some of these kids had told me that they're going to 3 different learning related things in one day. every single freaking day. tuition, the learning centre am working in, piano lesson and bla bla bla...

perhaps this is normal to other people, but it is so not normal to me. my parents does sent me to a tuition centre, but not 2 of them at once [learning centre=tuition centre, the same,according to me]. i agree wif the extra piano/art/singing/ballet or wateva lesson you wanna send your children to coz it does gives them an advantage later, an extra skill they can sell to their future employers as well as the opportunity for them to develop their soft skills. but 2 tuitions at once? wtf??

the thing is.. its bad enough that they had to go to school half a day and then to curriculum activities during the evening.. then they had to go the learning centre, and then at night they'll have to go to tuition.. and God knows where they fit in the ballet or piano or wateva lesson..

these kids clearly have no life,man. no life at all.

i don't think i would want to torture my kid like that. i'll probably just sent them to a tuition centre and ballet/art/piano lesson. and Qur'an reading lessons,of course.

but never 2 tuition at once. why on earth would they need 2 at once??

shoes.



recently i've been receiving invitations to join a cause on facebook that is against the selling of puma shoes that supposedly have the name of Allah printed on it.

okay, i am someone who is naturally curious and won't trust things easily. so i went to research. alright, it does looks like ALlah. but the thing is, when you look closely and look at the word "you're" on the shoe, you'll see that the style of writing for the letter "u" is what made the word "cool" to look like ALlah.

now.. whether or not they did it on purpose, wallahualam.

but simply accusing Puma for purposely writing down 'Allah' on their shoes without looking at the matter closely, to me, is sort of an embarassment for us Muslims.

the argument should be.. because of the style of writing they use, and because the word looks like Allah, even if they didn't mean it that way, the productions and selling of the shoes should be stop. Puma should change their style of writing on the shoes so that they won't be any confusion, because having the word Allah on a shoe is clearly an insult, even if they didn't mean it that way.

what the group on causes in facebook is saying is that Puma is doin it for purpose as an insult to Islam. okay, perhaps it does make sense, perhaps it is true.. but we don't have absolute prove, and provoking them won't change anythg. in fact, it might even make the world sees us in a bad way.

it upsets me how we Muslims are always making a big deal out of everything. we are just simply too emotional. find the right arguments, fight for it. don't just simply think that we are the best and everyone else is the bad guy and just trying to destroy us. we are just way too paranoid.

i do think puma should stop manufacturing and selling the current shoes, but not because i think puma is an anti-Islamic company, but because the word could pass as Allah [though i seriously think they meant cool], and having the name of Allah or words that looks like it on a shoe is simply unacceptable. puma doesn't need to stop the design of the shoe, they just simply need to change the style of writing they used. simple.

btw found the pic sumwhere on the internet.not mine.
