There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun... URIAH HEEP

have a nice day...

Salam and good day,

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day? Love that tune. 

Well, if you live in Taiping, you probably would, quite often too. and no, I have never been to Taiping. Apparently, it has the greatest volume of rainfall in Malaysia, averaging from 2 to 3 weeks of rain every month, which gives it the enchanting name: rain town.

Now, a bit of historical background. Bear with me.

One of the first town developed due to the discovery of tin. Formerly known as Larut, hence the name  Bukit Larut. At that time, the town was controlled by two opposing Chinese societies ie: Gee Hin and Hai San. Needless to say, these two societies did not get along well, just like the family rival between the Corleone and Tattaglia in The Godfather. Whaaatttt! You've never seen that movie? Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro... err ... nevermind. 

Anyway, Larut was conflict ridden, until the British arrived and ended it with the Pangkor Treaty in 1874.

Hard to be…

tanpa suara kau bercerita padaku tanpa seloka kau berjenaka denganku tanpa cahaya kau menerangi hariku tanpa menggoda kau menyentuh perasaanku tanpa mencuba kau menenangkan hatiku tanpa keraguan kau lah rahsia terbesar hidupku

Salam and good day,

We are fast approaching the end of June,  which means we are now halfway into 2019. In 6 months, it will be 2020, a whole new decade.

So far, 2019 has been an eventful and challenging year for me, physically, mentally and emotionally. How so? Well, that's for me to know, but not for you to find out...lol

Here's a quote for motivation:

So true, Mr Gibran.

I have 3 things to say before venturing into the last 6 months of this decade

If I made you happy ... I'm glad 
If I made you cry ... so sorry
If I made no difference to you ... tough luck

and for the rest of this decade... 3 words... BRING  IT  ON!!!!!!!

there's just too much that time cannot erase
ps: still feeling crappy

Have a nice day.

Salam and good day,

Ya, semangat saya hilang, Kenapa? Malas nak cerita panjang, tak ada semangat untuk menulis. Anggap saja saya demotivated tahap dewa...hehe

Kata XPDC ... ' usahlah diragukan, keupayaan diri...' betul lah itu. 



Yang pasti, semangat itu akan kembali, yang tak pastinya... bila? Tunggu saja . Jom dengar lagu.

Tak ada yang lebih tabahdari hujan bulan Juni
Dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
Kepada pohon berbunga itu
Tak ada yang lebih bijakdari hujan bulan Juni
Dihapuskannya jejak-jejak kakinya
Yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu
Tak ada yang lebih arifdari hujan bulan Juni
Dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan  Diserap akar pohon bunga itu
