Cerita dia...

Lagu ini
aku tujukan kepada semua yang aku sayang... tapi
pada masa yang sama
ia tidak ditujukan kepada sesiapa
Sebab aku sendiri tau hakikat
yang sayang itu
hanya aku saja... atau
sayang mereka di batas itu saja... sebab
aku bukan apa-apa bagi mereka... atau
aku tak mampu jadi apa-apa bagi mereka

Sempurna
Cerita yang tak sempurna

Apakah alasannya?
Siapakah di hatinya?

Bahasaku mungkin tidak seindah lafaz kata pujangga
Namun ku bersumpah...

Rela ku tunggu jawapanmu
Masihkah aku ada di hatimu?

Saat ini?

Biar tubuhku kan terpaku
Biar jasadku tak bernyawa lagi

Saat ini

Rela ku tunggu jawapanmu

Aku tak tau kenapa aku mampu sayang pada mereka
hingga melebihi keluarga sendiri adakalanya
Mungkin sebab aku ni tunggal
lahir 'keseorangan' di dunia ni
yang memungkinkan aku
begitu menghargai seorang saudara

Mungkin

Mungkin aku sekadar insan berjiwa lemah
yang sunyi dan twisted...
yang mengharap pada mereka
yang tidak patut aku harapkan

Apa-apapun, aku sangat bersyukur
atas tiap peluang dan masa
yang telah Allah kurniakan
peluang bagi aku berkongsi sebahagian hidup bersama mereka

AlhamduliLlah...

Ya Allah
Engkau tahu akan doaku bukan?
Maka kurniakanlah apa yang terbaik buat mereka
Jauhkan aku daripada menyusahkan
atau membebankan
Moga mereka bahagia sentiasa
dalam redha dan rahmatMu
dunia akhirat

Aku betul-betul sayangkan mereka

Congkak Amalanda Murni

Anyone noticed that my entries are usually a week late? This was last Saturday's outing with Wan.

First on the agenda was any waterfall or riverside spot.
The initial plan was Ulu Yam. Then we finally decided on Sungai Congkak. Please be warned- those of you not fond of surprises and uncertainties, give it a pass if we invite you to come along, okay? :p

It was really long ago since I was here last. In fact, I'm not even sure if that place in memory was 'here' here. We were charged entrance fee. Additional activities like camping will require additional charges.

Once we found a reasonably comfortable area, of course we started snapping away... Wan's got a really good selection of photos on his blog.

The currents were strong in this area but there were many nice sized boulders to provide hand and foot holds. I tried a hand at using slow shutter to show you how fast the flow is.

Getting in was a b****! It may be high noon and sweltering out there but that water's freezing! Photo by courtesy of Wan.

Imagine finding a sweet spot where you can comfortably lodge yourself, lie back, let the cold raging waters massage your body while looking up at the sight above.

There were a number of friendly insects around as well- ants, butterflies and dragonflies.

I was in the water most of the time so did not have much opportunity to shoot. But I did manage to squeeze off a couple of shots from the water once or twice.

We took off around 5.00pm. It rained some and since we didn't have any proper lunch, we stopped by this gerai along Jalan Hulu Langat near Kampung Serai, just before the masjid if you're KL bound.

It could be because we're hungry but I do think that they serve really good food here. Or at least it's to my taste :p
Wan has told me that he's not that discerning about food so that means only my opinion matters here, haha!

I suddenly got bitten by the silver screen bug so we headed out to Amalanda as the least crowded choice of cinema (that's not a typo, it was how Wan pronounced it on first try, haha!).
There was this really beautiful sunset while en route to Putrajaya but I failed to get an adequate shot of it.

We bought some okay seats for Dark Shadows. Since it will only start at 10.00pm, we decided to hang out aaaaand... you guessed it, take photos! :p

Wan attempted some 'freelensing'. It's a method of taking pictures with the lens detached from your camera body. It created some unexpected effects like a non linear focus plane and slightly irregular shaped bokeh. Photo by courtesy of Wan.

Darks Shadows was disappointing for me since it was only good when I expected it to be 'wow!'.
We got sort of hungry again on the way home. While cruising past Sunway along the LDP, Wan suggested Restoran Murni at Mentari Square and I readily agreed.
That 3 layer tea is one of my favourite drinks, by the way ;)

In addition, I had been craving for Murni's carbonara chicken chop for quite a while :p However, I do concur with most commentators that the food served over in Murni SS2 is way better.

Arrived home at 2.00 am. It was end of the day for me, but I heard that Wan had plans to stay up and watch this important football match. Ah... to be young and energetic :p

...

Berenang kembali.
Maju lagi. Laju lagi.
Tinggal di belakang gelembung bebuih udara...
Memecah. Menghilang.

Kalaulah kenangan seperti bebuih udara itu.

P.S. Terima kasih Adik kerana mengabadikan baju cili itu :)
Terima kasih Budak Baik sebab bantu aku bertenang :)
Terima kasih kawan...

Berjalan malam...

Buat makluman, Secret Garden di 1 Utama kini dibuka hingga jam 10 malam.

Tapi itu bukan point yang nak aku catatkan kali ini, sekadar gambar selingan mengiringi cetusan fikiran yang rawak. Imej yang dipaparkan juga simple, eksperimentasi mengambil gambar dalam keadaan extreme low light.

Setelah sebulan mendiamkan diri, P menghubungi aku 2 minggu yang lepas. Memberitahu aku yang dia akan pulang ke kampung menemui ibunya untuk beberapa hari.

Nampak gaya, perasaan wanderlust P turut kembali menyerang. Memang dia jenis yang cepat bosan. Ada cerita hendak dikongsinya- telah menghadiri temuduga dan mungkin berubah kerjaya sekali lagi. Nanti ada rezeki kami bertemu, mungkin aku dapat tahu butirannya...

Dua orang adik aku telah selamat pulang daripada bercuti. AlhamduliLlah.

Budak Baik dan orang rumahnya tiba di Petaling Jaya jam 3 petang tadi dari Kelantan. Adik pula baru pulang ke Jengka dari sambutan hari keluarga jabatan bekas tempat kerjanya di Bandung.

Rindunya hendak berjumpa mereka bertiga. Ibarat sang bulan mengintai butiran bintang-bintang jadian dari celah-celah dahan... Hahaha! Berfalsampah pula, whatever..! :p

Semalam ke Sungai Congkak dengan Wan. Tenang sungguh rasanya. Sangat aman. Sangat-sangat belum puas menikmatinya! Wan! Jom pergi lagi please! >_< Nanti la ada mood aku update sebutir dua gambar yang ada...

Baru tau kawan keluar wad. Menyirap gak darah masa dapat tau tu. AlhamduliLlah, katanya dia baik-baik aje... Moga dia segera sembuh, aamiin.

Aku pening la dengan kerja sekarang ni. Buat sehabis baik tapi asyik tertangguh, terhalang, terhenti... Segala macam orang dengan segala macam agenda- sama ada yang tersembunyi, sebagai sampingan, atau, yang paling aku 'kagum', sebenarnya memang tak tau satu hapah pun!

Weh! Korang sedar tak sekarang dah hampir bulan 6??! Setengah tahun berlalu begitu aja! Sebanyak-banyak perkara yang dah dicapai, lebih banyak lagi yang belum... Mungkinkah akan ada waktu..?

Uhu... Aku nak cuti sengsangat- cuti panjang! Tapi keadaan betul-betul belum mengizinkan lagi.

Apa keadaan tempat kerja aku dalam beberapa tahun akan datang ni agaknye? Partner in crime aku bakal cuti belajar, ikut suami dia- makan tahun gak la! Dah la dia yang paling rajin drive and guide aktiviti kualiti jabatan ni... Mampukah pengganti dia membawa penambahbaikan?

Rasa letiiihhh je manjang... And not all of it is physical! Adakah aku akan burned out dalam usia sebegini??! Entah le...

Hanj la G*****!!!

Aku tau la ko pancing aku 3-4 kali untuk bagi nombor tepon sebelum ni tak dapat!

Ni aku tengah sedap-sedap baca blog-blog member, tinggal komen. Alih-alih ko kata akaun aku deleted.
Sebabnya ada suspicious activity on your account bagai..

Mula-mula ingat nak bersabar tunggu helpdesk reply. Tapi bangang lama so aku bagi je la nombor tepon yang dia nak sangat tu!
