Only you
A person can make you feel high
A person can make you feel low
But only you can decide
Which way you want to go
A person can hurt you mentally
A person can hurt you physically
But only you can place
A limit of your abilities
A person can cause you drama
A person can cause you a situation
But only you can create
Your own reputation
A person can make you laugh
A person can make you cry
But only you can make
Decisions for your life
I guess what I am trying to say
That when you are living day to day
Don’t live what people say about you
But live by what you know is true…
And what is right for you..
p.s. this poem is dedicacted to danial :-)

Letter to Rafael Nadal
Dear Rafa,
I prayed very hard last night that you could win the Qatar Open...but my prayer was not fulfilled at the very moment. Of course, I was dissappointed but I am sure yours are worst than mine.
I am sure as a great sportman, this defeat will not dampen your spirit at the Australian Open which will come in one week's time. I will try not to miss the tournament from the beginning until the end..hmm..as usual. However, the moment you are out then that is the end of watching.
Federer, your friend was out one step before of you.. I am sure he will come back. Please be prepare for the worst.
I hope this year, you will win as many grand slams as possible..
Till then..Take care rafa

me and my students
I just realised this morning that ever since i came back from Makkah, my concern is about my students' interest. About their classes, tests, notes and intense preparation before going to the class so that I could deliver the best. Yesterday I was at the office marking their homewrks and lecture notes until 5.30pm though I had no class, appointment and meeting.
This morning I just realised that I did not give a thought about myself. My publication and reseacrh. I used to tell to my students, sometimes we need to be selfish.. I think, now i should tell this to myself..

Being a teacher
I went to Jusco yesterday to buy dinner for the family. While I was waiting for my nasi goreng ayam, suddenly came one man and introduced himself as my former student. He said that his name is Mohd nazri bin Yahya. I hardly recognised him due to several reasons. Could be my memory and my age or could be he looked smart with tuck in shirt and hairdo.
Anyway, I was very pleased to be greeted by my ex students. I couldnt be more than happy that they are now working and have a job as well as families.
I remember very well, when I was in Kota Bharu and I crossed the road to go to pasar besar MPKB a.k.a pasar besar lama, suddenly, one car stopped and gave me away..one man came out from the car and came to me and said.."Madam! Dont you remember me?" I was still a bit surprise and it seemed that he came out of nowhere.. I said "hmm..eh, tak ingatlah.." " It's me..Ubaidillah..the naughtiest student in your class back then!" When he started laughing and smiling then i began to recall his behaviour. he he...He wass my first student that I taught in 1994.
The moral of the story, dont forget your teacher..if you see him or her..try to greet her and introducd yourself to him/her. He/she may not rememeber you..let it be. But I am sure he would be very ahppy to talk to you..
My teachers in Sek Keb Penambang cannot be located as of now. Many of them have passed away.. I wish I could have contacted them..but back then there was no emails, hp, hp and FB..
You may be somebdoy now but remember once you were nobody until your teacher's stepped in to share his knowlegde with you..

Cinta Kedua
Cinta kedua
Bila dtgnya cinta kedua
Tiada yg disangka
tiada juga prasangka
Sesungguhnya ia manis belaka
Cinta kedua diterima
Ikhlas dua hati bersama
Bila sinar mata semakin ketara
Bila senyum manis semakin terasa
Bila perpisahan menjadi dahaga
Bila perrtemuan menjadi nikmat ceria
Tetapi
Cinta kedua harus sedar
Tika masa dan ketika
Harus mengalah
terutama pada yg mula
Yg hati perlu dijaga
Hormat perlu ditinta
Wahai cinta kedua
Jgn engkau kecewa
Jgn juga engkau lupa
Yg penting hati si dia
Dan engkau sebenarnya
adalah juara dan bukannya kedua...
P.S. asyik2 puisi je ni lepas balik dari Makkah. Mungkin hati menjadi begitu sensitif sekarang, fikiran menjadi lebih puitis dek menaggung rindu pada keluarga atau mungkin ujian dtg.. walau apa pun, yg menariknya puisi ini di tulis di dalam confercence Room semasa kitaorang semua sedang bermesyuarat. Apa cerita di sebalik puisi ni? hmm..terpulang pada telahan masing2..
Selamat tinggal 2009 dan selamat datang 2010.
Mudah2an cinta kedua pada tahun 2009 akan ditinggalakan dan cinta ketiga dtg pada 2010.. selamat tinggal..

Puisi yg tidak bertajuk..
Kau semakin jauh pergi
Bukan lagi seperti yg aku kenali
Ketawa manja mengusik mesra
Kau semakin jauh berbeza kini
Bukan lagi penunggu hati
Di taman abadi
Tapi membiarkan aku kini berkarat sepi
Kau mungkin sudah bertukar ganti
Dan aku bukan lagi
Orang yg kau kasihi
Dan mungkin juga bukan lagi org yg kau kenali
Aku ingin berlalu pergi
Membawa hati pedih sekali
Dan tak ingin menoleh kembali
Pada setiap cetusan hati kita rasai
Coretan kanvas yg dikongsi
Biar saja di laluan sepi
Lambat laun akan hilang pergi...
Walau sakit di hati
Tapi kenangan tetap dihargai...
p.s. ramai yg bertnya apa cerita di sebalik puisi yg tidak bertajuk ini..sebenarnya idea menulis puisi ini tercetus bila mendapat berita tentang bekas2 student saya berkawin, bekerja dan sbgainya. Ada juga student yg dulunya tahun satu dan menganjak ke tahun dua yg mana sya tidak lagi mengajar mereka. Mereka ini selalu menghubungi dan menziarahi saya pada satu ketika dahulu... Tak kurang juga yg suka mengusik dan membuat lawak dgn saya.. tapi dek kesibukan tugas, hidup baru, kesibukan belajar..mereka tidak lagi menghubungi saya..malah ada yg buat2 tak kenal lagi dgn saya.. Puisi ni hanya secara umum..apa2 pun saya tetap menghargai setiap kenangan bersama mereka.. Buat mereka yg masih setia..anda andalah satu dalam sejuta..kasih sayang dan ingatan anda kepada saya tidak bermusim..tetapi abadi..terimakasih.

I am back!
Alhamdulillah, I am back to Malaysia. Thanks to Almighty Allah S W T for giving me a chance to come home and reunited with my family.
Actually when I left home, I have in my mind 50-50 chance of coming back. I thought I may have died in Macca or Madinah or along the way..
How to start this entry? I have no idea at all..I mean the idea on how start. I have a lot of things to share while I was there..Some of them are up close and personal and some of them are shareable.
Let me just say one thing when I am back here, I thought I am going to have a jet lag since the time difference between Malaysia and Saudi are 5 hours. But alhamdulillah..It did not happen. Why? thanks to my sisters, my uncle and aunty who kept my busy until evening.. I was supposed to sleep at the day time since in Saudi was still in the morning. But I beat my sleepy and forced myself to stay awake even at 11pm. Well, during the 8 hour flight from Jeddah to KL, I did not sleep at all. Just tidur2 ayam. The anticipation of seeing my family is irresistible. Then at 12 am, I began to feel so so sleepy and the moment i put my head on my missing-favourite pillow..I was gone..he he.. I woke up as usual and behaved like any Malaysians throuhout the day until today.
The first thing my youngest asked me to do was to fry him some nuggets..This is better than asking me to prepare for him home made nuggets.
