Behind the Success of Every Men, There is a woman standing at his back....

How true is this, well. it is proven out there that behind the success of every men lies a woman at his back. We can see some of the successful men, behind their success, there are stories about their journey with their loved ones while making its way to the peak of success. Hence, while browsing through the internet, I stumbled upon this lyrics, which I think appropriate with the main title of this posting. The song was previously sang by Manbai and it is one of my favorite song. Apart from dedicating this song to all the women out there, this song is also dedicated to my heart and soul; my lovely wife, Nor Shahidah Mohd Mahayadin. Sayang, this song is for you.... thank you for being here for me now and then.... May Allah bless you and our family sayang!

Beribu bintang dilangit
Kini menghilang
Meraba aku dalam kelam
Rembulan mengambang
Kini makin suram
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah

Sedetik wajahmu muncul
Dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah bintang atau rembulan
Terima kasih kuucapkan

Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu
Izinkan ku mencuri khayalan denganmu
Maafkanlah oh...
Andai lagu ini
Mengganggu ruangan hidupmu
Kau senyumlah oh...
Sekadar memori
Kita di arena ini
Kau ilhamku
Kau ilhamku...

Turn Back to Him coz He will always be by your side...

During the Haji Jaafar's family day showdown recently, my aunty's family performed a religious song sang by Maher Zain and in order to make it different than others, they sang and while adding some words of hope in between the chorus. Whenever we are lost, Allah will always be by our side at all time and we are not alone! Ya Allah, thank You for being here with us Ya Allah!

The lyric I posted here somehow possess a very deep meaning behind every words as it is all about the greatness of Allah SWT. Subhanallah!!!

Insya-Allah by Maher Zain.

Everytime you feel like you cannot go on
You feel so lost
That your so alone
All you is see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless
You can`t see which way to go
Don`t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side

Insya Allah3x
Insya Allah you`ll find your way

Everytime you can make one more mistake
You feel you can`t repent
And that its way too late
Your`re so confused,wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame


Don`t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side
Insya Allah3x
Insya Allah you`ll find your way
Insya Allah3x
Insya Allah you`ll find your way

Turn to Allah
He`s never far away
Put your trust in Him
Raise your hands and pray
OOO Ya Allah
Guide my steps don`t let me go astray
You`re the only one that showed me the way,
Showed me the way 2x
Insya Allah3x
Insya Allah we`ll find the way

Gelora

Ada orang pernah berkata hidup ini bagaikan gelora, kala tiada gelora hidup ini sungguh aman dan tenteram tetapi bila dilanda gelora, bagaikan tsunami yang menghempas segala apa yang ada di hadapannya. Kala gelora melanda kehidupan kita, kita umpama berpaut di atas puing-puing kehidupan yang rapuh; hanya menanti masa untuk rebah menyembah bumi. Kadang kala aku bertanya kepada diriku sendiri, apakah ini cubaan belaka atau sekadar peringatan dari-Nya untuk ku kembali ke jalan-Nya? Kadang kala aku tersungkur jua kala aku merasakan yang aku keseorangan menghadapi dugaan ini, tetapi aku berfikir kembali, adakah aku akan terus tersungkur? Setiap orang dijadikan sebagai seorang juara, kita juara kala kita berada di kemuncak dan kita jua lah juara kala kita tersungkur. Ketika di puncak jangan la kita melupakan apa yang ada di bawah dan haruslah berusaha untuk kekal berada di situ.

Aku ingin berbicara mengenai juara kala tersungkur. Setiap kali kita tersungkur, kita pasti akan berasa kecewa, bagaikan diri ini tiada nilainya lagi serta menyalahkan diri kita kerana punca kejatuhan kita. Jika kita berputus asa serta tidak bangkit semula itu lah namanya pejuang yang kalah kerana tidak sanggup menghadapi cubaan hidup. Tetapi, kala kita tersungkur dan bangkit semula dengan semangat baru, itu lah kita di katakan juara kala tersungkur kerana kita meletakkan tekanan ke atas diri kita untuk teruskan perjuangan hidup di atas puing-puing yang rapuh ini. Kembali lah kepada-Nya, minta lah ampun dari pada-Nya di atas kekhilafan kita selama ini. Mungkin kita jatuh kerana kita telah hanyut dari mengingati-Nya. Kala itu lah kita harus berusaha keras, gigih untuk kita bangkit semula untuk menangkis segala cabaran serta halangan yang ada di hadapan kita. Allah sentiada berada di sisi kita tidak kira di kala kita senang atau susah. Insya-Allah, pasti kita akan bertemu jalan keluar dari permasalahan kita.

Kala aku menukilkan nukilan ini, aku terkesan dengan nukilanku sendiri. Mungkinkah selama ini aku selalu melupakan-Nya? Ataupun aku tidak redha atau ikhlas atas segala dugaan serta pancaroba yang melanda diriku? Ataupun aku yang tidak pandai mensyukuri nikmat yang dikurniakan dari-Nya. Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku telah menzalimi diriku sendiri Ya Allah! Aku bagaikan layang-layang yang terputus talinya tanpa hala tuju kala aku tersungkur. Ya Allah, ampunilah dosa hamba-Mu ini Ya Allah. Berikanlah aku kekuatan mental dah fizikal dalam menghadapi semua ini Ya Allah, bersihkan lah hati hambamu ini Ya Allah!

Ya Allah, sekiranya ini merupakan salah satu daripada dugaan yang kau berikan kepadaku, aku redha dengan dugaan-Mu ini Ya Allah! Amin Ya Rabbal'alamin.....

P/S: Air mata ku telah mula bergenang maka aku berhenti hanya di sini sahaja.... Wallahua'alam hu bissawab....

Mama Oh Mama

In responding to Shamsuddin Jaafar's write up; You Cant Outgrow Mothers' Love in his blog; Puing-Puing Kehidupan, I wrote a poem inspired by a song sang by one of Malaysian's well-known diva, Datuk Sharifah Aini. His write up about a wonderful and challenging journey his mother had to go through made me sat back and think of how lucky I am that I was not born during that time. He even wrote about the high self determination his mother had until the day she died. Let us together read the poem carefully and think back what had we done after all the love and attention were given to us... I did not realized that  mytears started to drop... but I made myself strong to continue writing. This poem is dedicated to my beloved grandmothers; namely Hajah Mahani Binti Mohd Salleh and Hajah Hasnah Binti Mohamed. Sadly, both of them had passed away before they can see me graduated and having myself a very good career path....

Mama Oh Mama

Mama.....

Your love were tender and sacred,

You touched our hearts with all your love,

Always be there for us when we needed you,

We are the pulse for you to move on....

Mama......

You may looked calm but no one knows what lies inside your heart,

You always prayed and hoped nothing but the best of your children,

For all you know, we grew up and getting the much of love from you Mama....

Mama,

Although there are many challenges before you,

But you make yourself strong that you wont fall,

You're like candles that burns itself without seeking for anything in return,

It is just our love and attentions that she looks for.....

Mama,

You left us without hints,

For all we know we had no more mother,

Oh Mother, please accept our apology........

May God bless you mother......

A mother's love would last you for the rest of your life until the day you died.

Are We Being Greedy?

Lately, we were awakened with incidental events happening around us; tsunamis, landslides, volcanoes eruptions etc. But what I am writing here right now at 0020 hrs does not mean to provoke nor teasing other parties because it is my personal opinions. Our earth is getting older and older by the day but we keeps on causing damage to her causing her to act violently. But what will happen if there is no sunrise? What will happen if there is no green scenery that would be beneficial for both current and future generations for them to understand that this 'Old Lady' needs further attention and protection rather than being greedy and selfish by clearing all jungles and forests merely for them to make money or making their investment worthwhile. 

I listened to Michael Jackson's song, called Earth Song, somehow the song made me to think that it is solely up to us to protect the earth not making more damages on her. While looking for ideas, I came across Michael Jackson's website and listened to one of his hits, Earth Song and the song somehow made me laid back and think what have I done for the best of the earth? Come and let us enjoy the poet written by Michael Jackson...

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores? 

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores  

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

To me this is the best poem ever written by Michael Jackson and he realized it in a form of song. Coincidentally, I have also found his video clip for the song. Let us together protect our mother nature. She is too old to sustain all the damages done by us; human. Let us treat our mother nature will love and affection; like how one love his or her mother. Together we save the environment.

Friends.........

Some pictures taken and shared from my BlackBerry device, with a set of my BlackBerry social networking. They called themselves as Bikers TC Networking. Simply enjoyed hanging around with them.

Hehehe, most of my friends in these pictures hover from the northern part of Malaysia called Penang, where foods are vastly available there, from the Chinese down to the local cuisines; the true spirit of 1 Malaysia. But they are one hell of people I love to hang out with especially when we chatted over various issues and we had a great time together. :-)


Apart from Bikers TC Networking, I also have another set of friends who puts so much passion in Mercedes-Benz vehicles like I do; known as MyBenz where tonnes of Mercedes freaks like us exchange ideas about our love and passions towards this premium brand. The pictures I wish to share here were taken during our last gathering which was held at the Tanjung Harapan, Port Klang. We had "Ikan Bakar Session" there. Anyhow, enjoy viewing all pictures!

These people, both Bikers TC Networking and MyBenz are my pulse and inspiration in what ever that I do after my parents (Mak and Abah, don't you worry, you are still number one in my heart). I do wish that the flame of friendships remains till the day when I died and gone in this world. Insya-Allah.... Amin....
