Because .....

why do we celebrate Mother's Day... (from Pod's & Petals newsletter)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I've known you all my life.
Because a black BMX bicycle once made me the happiest boy on the street.
Because you used to dance with me in the kitchen with an apron round your waist.
Because your cheque book was always busy on my behalf.
Because our house was always filled with laughter and the smell of spices.
Because of countless Saturday mornings you gave up to watch a small boy play football.
Because you never expected too much of me or let me get away with too little.
Because of all the nights you sat reading to me at my bedside while I lay sleeping.
Because you never embarrassed me by talking about the birds and the bees.
Because I know there is a faded newspaper clipping in your purse about my scholarship.
Because you always made me polish the heels of my shoes as brightly as the toes.
Because you've remembered my birthday 30 times out of 30.
Because you still hug me when we meet.
Because you've more than your fair share of grey hair and I know who helped put them there.
Because you're a marvelous grandmother.
Because you made my wife feel one of the family.
Because you've always been there when I've needed you.
Because you let me make my own mistakes and never once said "I told you so."
Because you still pretend you only need glasses for reading.
Because I don't say thank you as often as I should.
Because it is Mother's Day and I LOVE U VERY, VERY MUCH....

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY to all mothers and mother-to-be...

Farewell

Innalillahiwainnailaihirajiun...

yesterday i received sms fr an old fren bringing a shocking news about the demise of our dear classmate, Norbahiah Lani from a tragic accident... from the info gathering, it was reported that her car swerved to avoid goats and then hit a tree... the front passanger (cousin of our classmate) also died and the other 2 passangers sitting at the back seat are in critical condition.. the news came out in tv3 morning news yesterday... jenazah was brought back to her hometown in melaka to be burried..

semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang2 yg beriman dan beramal soleh... AL Fatihah


news like this really makes me think abt life and realise how fragile and precious life is... when the time has come it will not wait even for a micro second... who would anticipate that your life ends at a very young age... at the age where life has just begun... career, family..

when tragedy happens in one's life, we will start evaluating our priorities... whats more important.... is money and position more important than time spent with ppl u love??? or time spent with frens more important than ur own flesh and blood??? hmmm... priorities, priorities... how do u know if u've made the right decision... we usually don't realise what we've lost until its too late... but, i guess there's price to everythin... just how far are u willing to sacrifice to get it...

i guess my perception towards "SUCCESS" has change this past years... its deeper than just having a good career and family... its more on self respect and self development and how my actions will help benefit others... its no longer things that i've achieved for myself but how my life indirectly affects others positively...

its funny how in our current time its really a challenge to do good deeds whilst becoming arrogant and selfish is becoming part of the lifestyle... i hope before my last breath, i hv the courage and strength to do all the good deeds that i plan to do and make a difference in ppl's life... InsyaAllah

What element is your love??

came accross this website while surfing the net.... kinda interesting... u know me... suckers of all this analysis kind of thingy... hehe...

Your Love Element Is Water

In love, you connect deeply and commit totally.For you, love is all about taking risks and moving into unknown territory. You attract others with courage and confidence.Your flirting style is defined by your flexibility and ability to adapt. Nurturing and shared learning are the cornerstones of your love life.And while you may jump in to love too quickly, you always come out the wiser for it. You connect best with: Metal Avoid: Earth You And another Water element: will pull each other down into a dark place

... so, it says i need to find a "metal" person (mcm mat metal jer bunyinya...heh)... so, sesapa yg "metal" tuh..... don't forget to contact me after this ya... muahahahha.... mcm real jer..
