A Perfect Meal for Me...


A Perfect Meal for Me

If I should have a meal
I know how I would want it to be,
There’d be colourful fruit and vegies
And a piece of delicious chicken meat.

The salad would have a lot of berries
And nicely chopped apple
With walnuts and almonds
Sprinkle on top of the green salad leaves.

And the chicken meat
Is covered with delicious brown gravy
For me to enjoy and relish
For a filling and satisfying meal for me.

This was the previous blog theme that I cherished. It was a fabulous journey till I decided to move on. I wanted to write different genres too. I am not sticking to one only. My life exploration has descended to other views I have in life. Thank you Allah. You have made me see things differently.


Love is Beautiful... Abah.


Love is beautiful

It was a beautiful life
With you by my side
It was a beautiful life
You are affectionately glorified

Beautiful love
For the love you’d never shove
You showed me hereof
Living this life with endless love

It was a beautiful day
When you left us all behind
To start the journey going far away
We were left speechless and undefined

I’d be living in the memories of you
Never forgotten, never outgrew
Your tears and your smiles adieu
Remained with me the memories with you.

Life. I wish for 100 years...


LIFE

Do you hear…
Life is laughing at me?
Do you hear…
The breeze is talking to me with inadequacy?

Do you see…
The leaves waving as if to shuck me?
Do you see…
The clouds crying to show their pity?

Do you notice…
How fiery the sun has become?
Do you notice…
How fervent the wind has lashed its whip?

Do you remember…
The years walking out of your lives?
Do you remember…
The plans laughing away as if mocking thee?

Infatuation. Have I told you how blessed I am?


Infatuation

Have I told you yet…
That I love looking out to the sea

Have I told you yet…
Of the peace and calm I feel staring into the picturesque scenery

Have I told you yet…
I enjoy going out to different settings and situations

Have I told you yet…
I glorify the world you descend to me

Have I told you yet…
I treasure all the bits and pieces life has given to me

Have I told you yet…
How grateful I am every time I open my eyes

Have I told you yet…
That the nitty gritty happenings in my life are all about you

Have I told you yet…
My life is like a rainbow after the rain

Have I told you yet…
My life is also like the stormy sea

Have I told you yet…
Come what may, my life still goes on

Have I told you yet…
My mind is all that matters

Have I told you yet…
Whatever happens, the mind has to flare signals that everything will be fine

Have I told you yet…
I yearn for you every day every second of my life

I want you to know…
You’ve given the best to me

That I am grateful to lead this time on earth
I am blessed to have You guiding my path.

SK IPG KDRI... It was a wonderful experience


SK IPG KDRI

I am threaded on,
To provide wonderful and tremendous experience,
The outcome is an admiration,
To be the best and par excellence.

Outstanding educators govern my compound,
Twelve classes representing the six grades,
The compassionate coaching in effortless bounds,
We are admired for accomplishing the highest grid.

Andragogy is the word


ANDRAGOGY

Andragogy or adult learning?
Now we perceive its importance.
Definite urgency to education,
Relevant and significant.
An applause to academics
Governing the experience.
Oh, my fellow educators
Get to know your audience.
You have to call for interests in your students.

a Working Vacation.


WORKING VACATION

Sarawak is fun
Sabah is a pleasure
Johor is a refresher
Terengganu is leisure.

Duties, jobs, and work
They are never ending
The high spirits that lurk
Make work a merrymaking.

How I wish we could start again
And forget the new beginning
But that is not the bargain
For that is how life is spilling.

In spite of every sorrow, every pain
We can start again from now
A brand new ending to gain
That’s the only thing we can afford for now.

I choose to be a good friend.


A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend
Is somewhat very rare
If you found one
Treasure with care.

The everyday struggles
Your every quirk and flaw
A good friend will not be muddled
But surely love you after all.

A good friend
When you stumble upon
Is impossible to forget
And not easy to leave.

It is easier said than done
To keep the friendships alive
For it is very testing and recalcitrant
To understand and get hold of a life.

Can I be a good friend
Who overlook my friend’s catastrophe
And accept my friend’s success
When the rest of the world walks out?

A cloth or clothes? I choose to be different


A CLOTH OR CLOTHES?

A bright red cloth
Hung high up on the wall
We looked up at it
And it looked down at us.

Another cloth perked our interest
Yellow and brown, and also orange
The colours mingled
Tingling our judgement.

“Choose one please”
What do you suppose
That yellow, brown, orange cloth
Fell right onto our noses.

We could choose a better path
Should we know how.
We could be ignorant
But could we endure the consequences?


nIN 2017

A silent ground. A silent promise?


A SILENT GROUND

A little man running on my ground,
A little time for the teachers to bound.
A little time, a little pat.
A little wish, and so much to chat.
A little learning, a little prayer,
A little wisdom, a little logic.
A little while
And all will fly
To be prominent and wiser
In their undertakings.
Good luck my friends!
We give the undertaking
Of an obligation.
So, we shall proceed
With the commitment.

Life! O Life! Today I choose life!


Life! O Life!

Life is but an empty dream.
Together we create the memories,
So full of pillars and beams
Unconquered, we cease to be memories.

It sometimes filled with clouds of gloom,
How wonderful when showered with the roses bloom?
To dry our eyes and laugh at a fall,
But these are transient all.

Life mourns the rain,
Baffled, we get up and begin again.
If the shower will concoct the flowers bloom,
Should we lament the unpleasant groom?

Oh, Allah the mercy upon you!
Turning every day into a pleasant mane.
We slide the universe, under your view,
Praying to be fervent amid the vain.

Even so much life endures unknown,
Life is earnest and real.
Tell us not, in sorrow frown
But to act, that tomorrow bids the best deal.

So, my question is simple and yet prickly, 
How are we living? Verily…
The life has neither a beginning nor an end
We can never predict where it will bend.
