Soul Vacation
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
Life is full of bumps and bruises. It's what you learn from it and what you do with it that makes you who you are. Last night, an old friend of mine rang my phone. We're having a long, deep conversation. He just broke up with his gf, and that's the conversation all about. And all this while I’ve been thinking...
Have you ever experienced getting out of a relationship where you felt as though you were already at the end of the string that you're holding on to, but you were still determined to go on? Sadly, many people unconsciously give a negative answer to this question by denying themselves the right to be happy. While some people see finding someone to love as a "dream come true," others view it as their "worst nightmare." For the latter, falling in love is a soul vacation that puts them in an emotional roller coaster.
People who have loved and lost often become emotionally scarred. They may be haunted by disillusionment because of unrequited love, or they could be traumatized by pain from their past relationships. Their hearts pound with joy when they feel that new love has come along. They consider the possibility of loving and being loved again. Still, they are afraid to welcome the love that knocks on their heart; they are terrified by the possibility of getting hurt again. In doing so, they end up losing the love by timidly refusing it.
People who are brave enough to take the risk do love again, but they sometimes find themselves distraught. They may focus so much on trying to build a perfect relationship that they forget about laying a good foundation. When love comes to find rest in their hearts, they hold on to it, pamper it, try to keep it, and become glad that they have been given a second chance. Still, they cannot forget that since love came to them freely, then that same love could also leave on its own free will; thus they do everything materially or physically possible to keep love from departing. In doing so, they end up losing the love by imprisoning it.
"There's a time for everyone, if they only learn that the round robin moves us all in turn." It is said that time heals all wounds; a wounded heart is no exception, but the scars still remain. In time, you will find the love that's meant for you. All you need is the patience and the courage to risk getting hurt again. If you do not try hard enough, you will only deny yourself the chance to become happy again. No one should ever be denied the bliss of love. No matter what the setback, you should keep trying to find the love you've always been waiting for, because it's worth all this soul vacation.

Misi Mustahak
Tuesday, August 29, 2006
Hari ni supervisor aku akan datang menjenguk trainee die yang paling rajin kat MMU. Aku bersiap sedia menghapuskan semua bukti kegiatan bermoral aku kat sini. Kat opis ni aku slalu buat conference YM sambil surfing tenet. Semue gara-gara hasutan rakan-rakan seangkatan dengan aku kat company tempat aku praktikal ni. Projek software PCK yang tergendala selama seminggu harus aku siapkan secepat mungkin, tapi sebelum tu sempat lagi aku berfoya-foya melayan blog aku ni sambil surfing.
Hari merdeka dah dekat, rakan-rakan industrial training aku yang lain ramai yang amek cuti sambung cuti merdeka. Tapi sebagai pekerja yang menjadi tulang belakang dan tulang rusuk company, aku nekad untuk 'berkerja' (ehem ehem).
Dua minggu berturut-turut aku, topeq, dan uden (rakan praktikal aku) pegi berjemur kat teluk
batik, kitorang pegi sane untuk menjalankan satu misi merisik. Uden menjadi ejen rahsia kami bertindak sebagai perisik ala-ala kapal selam. Akan tetapi, uden gagal menjalankan misi terakhir iaitu untuk mendapatkan nombor tepon awek yg dirisik. Walaubagaimanapun, aku begitu kagum dengan kebolehan die berenang berirama dengan berjoget upside down dalam air laut yg terlebih garam itu.
Topeq pulak menjadi ejen pengesan harta karun. Sepanjang menjalankan misi kami disana, topeq telah menemukan beberapa batu karang dan siput kerang dalam laut. Akan tetapi seperti uden, die juga tidak berjaya dalam misi ini kerana gagal menemui sebarang mutiara dalam cengkerang yang dijumpai.
Akhirnya kami pulang dengan hati yang gumbira walaupun semua misi kami gagal.

Konflik
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
"Aaahh.. nak keluar ke tanak ni??", soal ku bersendirian. "Kalau aku tak keluar mesti aku lemas kat dalam ni. Tapi... apa yang ada kat luar sana tu? tak bahaya ke??"
konflik pertama bersarang dalam benak ku...
Tanggal 23 Mei 1985 bersamaan dengan 3 Ramadhan 1405 Hijrah, lahir lah seorang putera comel ke dunia yang fana ini.
Mak aku kate, waktu tu nurse semua tengah sibuk nak bukak puasa, maka waktu ketika aku nak keluar tu takde nurse yang nak sambut kedatangan aku. Aku nangis dgn penuh macho, itulah gaya seorang anak jantan yang bakal memeriahkan lagi bumi ini...
Mak aku kata lagi, aku seorang baby yang baik ketika dalam perut. Walaupun aku suka main tendang-tendang, tapi aku tak nakal macam budak-budak laen yang suke mengidam bukan-bukan ketika dalam kandungan.
Sayu-sayu kedengaran ayah ku membisikkan azan keteliga ku, walaupun aku masih tidak mengerti apa-apa, tapi ku faham itulah kalimah menyeru ku untuk mengenal dan memperhambakan diri terhadap Allah, pencipta ku yang Agung. "Ohh, soleh betul baby ini", detik ku dalam hati.
Tak banyak yang aku ingat selepas saat kelahiran ku itu, kerana aku lebih banyak menghabiskan masa untuk berhibernasi. Bukan kerana aku pemalas, tp aku tidak suka menyusahkan ibubapa ku seperti baby-baby yang lain...
Dan aku... terus membesar menjadi seorang jejaka yang berguna kepada agama, bangsa dan negara...
