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.

nIN 2017

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.
