Before the Sun Sets

Gazing up above that sky,

a shriek deep queer shrill within the shore, 

trembled and teared did I  turn...!!

Speechless I  stand, 

speckled seasons i have seen - far

across the shore; deep inside i feel,

raising 'aches and painful' aids.

Sleepless nights and spooky nightmares 

demons were they? or my fears are they?

Illusions I revolve in - yet fugitive I may see.

Trapped within the world of phantom fairy tales, honey flavoured promises

and bewitching little hopes,

deserted ,distorted and in  delusion she proceeds,

Miles away from smiles,

flying away like broken threads 

longing to reap in to a neat stitch - and

 with plausible confidence she presumes, 

Seeing the light penetrate,

those Golden blessings up above from heaven

and she embraces her self  with a bright little  smile,

she lifts her broken wings and beams in with lifted spirits,

a cynosure she becomes amidst all those scattered pearls,

her tears dry apart and ticklish sighs they become,

frowns turned to victorious crowns despite hurtful cries

and ugly scars that crossed her by

finally she realizes she is a'' Woman''  -and

a ' Woman who is Unique

before the sun sets' ...!!!  

Before the Sun Sets

I Have Nothing Left...

A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living altogether."

Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically.

"Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have nothing left, period."

Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did your wife leave you?"

"What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!"

"That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. "Then that will be number one in the right-hand column - Wife hasn't left. Now, when were your children jailed?"

"That's silly. My children aren't in jail!"

"Good! That's number two in the right-hand column - Children not in jail," said Norman Vincent Peale, jotting it down.

After a few more questions in the same vein, the man finally got the point and smiled in spite of himself. "Funny, how things change when you think of them that way," he said.

Motivational Quote: "Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got; and be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot."

Inspirational Quote: "It is not what you have but it is how you think has a profound effect on your life."

Once Again...

It's once again the time to study,

The stress can make you somewhat nutty.

If you fail to learn this junk,

Then it is possible you could flunk.

Study hard; get a good night's rest,

So you will pass all of your tests.

But take a break and remember to laugh,

As you enjoy this piece of candy "taff".

We hope that this has made your day,

So SMILE! A break is on the way...

Once Again...

Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True

Often your tasks will be many,

And more than you think you can do.

Often the road will be rugged 

And the hills insurmountable, too. 

But always remember, 

The hills ahead 

Are never as steep as they seem, 

And with Faith in your heart 

Start upward 

And climb ’til you reach your dream. 

For nothing in life that is worthy 

Is ever too hard to achieve 

If you have the courage to try it, 

And you have the faith to believe. 

For faith is a force that is greater 

Than knowledge or power or skill, 

And many defeats turn to triumph 

If you trust in God’s wisdom and will. 

For faith is a mover of mountains,

There’s nothing that God cannot do, 

So, start out today with faith in your heart, 

And climb ’til your dream comes true!

Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True

Do Action Speak Loudest..

do action speak loudest? 

does silence speak at all? 

when the last leaf of autumn, 

begins to fall? 

do we hear the weeping, 

of the willow who crys? 

do we feel her sweep,

 the earth and skys? 

are our words,

 enough to say?

 when the wind blows, 

the other way? 

does the moss of the forest, 

grow cold upon the stone?

 can the bluejay say,

 what it means to be alone? 

do actions speak louder,

 than any words? 

or does silence and stillness, 

remain to be heard?

Do Action Speak Loudest..

A man must constantly exceed his level

“Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile.

So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.” He said, “When we get to three, we’ll shift gears and it’s only two more and you’ll do it.”

 Bruce Lee

I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to three, we go into the fourth mile and I’m okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,” –and we’re still running-” if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.”

He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full five miles.

Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?”

He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”

CEO Party...

A CEO (and member of Forbes 400!) throwing a party takes his executives on a tour of his opulent mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO has the largest swimming pool any of them has ever seen. The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry alligators. The CEO says to his executives "I think an executive should be measured by courage. Courage is what made me CEO. So this is my challenge to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give that person anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!"

Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. Everyone turns around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodges the alligators left and right and makes it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare. He pulls himself out just as a huge alligator snaps at his shoes. The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, "You are amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my life. You are brave beyond measure and anything I own is yours. Tell me what I can do for you."

The CFO, panting for breath, looks up and says, "You can tell me who the hell pushed me in the pool!!"

The Last Cheese....

As dessert was served to the visiting guest, the hostess apologized for not having any cheese to go with the apple pie. Hearing this,her little son slipped down from his chair and left the room, then returned with a small piece of cheese , which he shyly placed on the guest's plate.

"Why, thank you, son," said the guest as he popped the cheese in his mouth, "You must have found the last piece! Where did you find it?" Flushing with pride, the little boy said, "Oh, it was in the mousetrap.

A Soldier Story

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.  “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me. “Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.”

“There’s something you should know,” the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.”

“No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

“Son,” said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide.

The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

Moral: The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren’t as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there’s someone who won’t treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!

Matriculation Life is not Bad After All............

matriculation life is not bad after all..maybe you think that i'm saying this because i got good result..maybe it's true..but then, i had some experience that i want to share with you all.

some people, or i think majority of our people have installed in their mind that matriculation is a place for students who do not perform well in their studies. they have set in their mind that excellent students should get a place in foundation, A-level, IB and many more. to go to overseas and being sponsored by jpa, mara, petronas, yayasan khazanah and lots more. so if they didn't get a place in such programme, they'll go to matriculation. they'll make matriculation their last choice.

why?

because they listened to what people say. matriculation is bad. don't go there. it's not good..see? i also faced the same problem when i decided to go to matriculation , although i got an offer from utp to pursue study in petroleum engineering course-(i want this course badly, and i get it).. don't listen to people too much. if you listen too much, you cannot move and gain success. i'm not saying that you should not listen to people at all, but as long as you haven't try it, don't simply jump into conclusion..

so actually matriculation is okay or not?

if it is not okay, why there is a matriculation programme? why this programme exist? it will become NOT OKAY when you are not focusing on your study. you keep on playing, don't want to study, listen too much to people, couldn't perform well in study and finally get bad result-then THESE is not okay.

it's actually depends on yourself. you are the one who decide your future.if you are not sure what course you should take, what do you want to be when you grow up, then i suggest you to go to matriculation. at least you have more time to think about it.

it's your mindset. if you want to be a succesful person, you should think positive. if you want to get good results, dream of it..work for it. hoping without action brings you nothing.

accept things as they are. actually, during the first moment in kmj, i feel like i don't want to be there. i hate that place so much.( during my past okay, not now..hahaha..now i love that place..) well..we take some time to adapt to a new surrounding, right? but as time passed by, i began to adapt myself, accept the fact that now i'm a matriculation student, i must perform well in study..focus in study..focus on what you have now..where you are now..don't keep on regretting things..it's better you make a move and change your future.

accept and move on. everything happens for a reason.

Matriculation Life is not Bad After All............

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, 'My ears, Mommy.' She said, 'No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.'

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, 'Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.' She looked at me and told me, 'You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.' Stumped again,

I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, 'No. But you are getting smart erevery year, my child.'

Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather. She asked me, 'Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?' I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me.

She saw the confusion on my face and told me, 'This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.' She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, 'My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.' I asked, 'Is it because it holds up my head?' She replied, 'No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.'

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is made for others and not for yourself.

It is sympathetic to the pain of others. People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

The origination of this letter is unknown, but it brings a blessing to everyone who passes it on.

 Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you always know they are there. Share this with a friend, I just did.

Why Should I feel Bad?

Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a girl. She wasn’t the most beautiful and gorgeous but for him, she was everything. He used to dream about her, about spending the rest of life with her. His friends told him, “why do you dream so much about her, when you don’t even know if she loves you or not?  First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not”.

He felt that was the right way.   The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her.   One day when he proposed, she rejected him.  His friends thought he would take alcohol, drugs etc and ruin his life.  To their surprise, he was not depressed.

When they asked him how was it that he is not sad,  he replied, “‘why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me and she lost the one who really loved and cared for her.”

Moral:  True Love is Hard to Get.  Love is all about giving to other person without greed of gaining anything in return, if other person rejects it, its him/her who will be losing the most important thing in life. So never feel dejected.

Why Should I feel Bad?

Technically Correct

A helicopter was flying above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport.

The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign and held it up in the helicopter window.

The pilot's sign said, "Where am I?" in large letters.

The people in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it to the window of their building.

Their sign read, "You are in a helicopter."

The pilot smiled, waved, looked at the map, determined the course to steer to the SEATAC airport and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how the "You are in a helicopter" sign helped determine their position.

The pilot responded, "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer!"

The Milkmaid

A milkmaid was on her way to the market to sell some milk from her cow. As she carried the large jug of milk on top of her head, she began to dream of all the things she could do after selling themilk.

“With that money, I’ll buy a hundred chicks to rear in my backyard. When they are fully grown.I can sell them at a good price at the market.”

 As she walked on, she continued dreaming, “Then I’ll buy two young goats and rear them on the grass close by. Whenthey are fully grown, I can sell them at an even better price!”

Still dreaming, she said to herself, “Soon, I’ll be able to buy another cow, and I will have more milk to sell. Then I shallhave even more money...”

With these happy thoughts, she began to skip and jump.Suddenly she tripped and fell. The jug broke and all themilk spilt onto the ground.

No more dreaming now, she sat down and cried.

Moral : Do not count your chickens before they are hatched

The Three Wise Men

One day some wise men, who were going about the country trying to find answers to some of the great questions of their time, came to Nasreddin’s district and asked to see the wisest man in the place. Nasreddin was brought forward, and a big crowd gathered to listen.

The first wise man began by asking,“Where is the exact center of the world?”

“It is under my right heel,” answered Nasreddin.

“How can you prove that?” asked the first wise man.

“If you don’t believe me,” answered Nasreddin,“measure and see.

”The first wise man had nothing to answer to that,so the second wise man asked his question.“How many stars are there in the sky?” he said.“As many as there are hairs on my donkey,”answered Nasreddin.

“What proof have you got of that?”asked the second wise man.“

If you don’t believe me,” answered Nasreddin, “count the hairs on my donkey and you will see.”

“That’s foolish talk,” said the other. “How can one count the hairs on a donkey?”

“Well,” answered Nasreddin, “How can one count the stars in the sky? If one is foolish talk,so is the other.” The second wise man was silent.

The third wise man was becoming annoyed with Nasreddin and his answers, so he said, “You seem to know a lot about your donkey, so can you tell me how many hairs there are in its tail?”

“Yes,” answered Nasreddin. “There are exactly as many hairs in its tail as there are in your beard.”

“How can you prove that?” said the other.

“I can prove it very easily,” answered Nasreddin.

“You can pull one hair out of my donkey’s tail fo revery one I pull out of your beard. If the hairs on my donkey’s tail do not come to an end at exactly the same time as the hairs in your beard, I will admit that I was wrong.

”Of course, the third wise man was not willing to do this, so the crowd declared Nasreddin the winner of the day’s arguments.

Be Deaf to Negativity…!!

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs…. who arranged a running competition.   The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.  A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants….   The race began…. 

Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.   You heard statements such as: 

“Oh, WAY too difficult!!” 

“They will NEVER make it to the top.” 

or:

“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”    The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one….  Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher…. The crowd continued to yell,”It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”     More tiny frogs got tired and gave up….   But ONE continued higher and higher and higher….  This one wouldn’t give up!     At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?   

 A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out…. That the winner was DEAF!!!!     The wisdom of this story is:Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or pessimistic…. because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you — the ones you have in your heart!   Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions! Therefore:ALWAYS be…. POSITIVE!  

And above all:Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!  Always think:God and I can do this!  Pass this message on to 5 “tiny frogs” you care about.  Give them some motivation!!!   Most people walk in and out of your life……but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart 

and I would like to share these thoughts with you….  MANY SMILES BEGIN BECAUSE OF ANOTHER SMILE…    To The World You Might Be One Person; But To One Person You Might Be the World.   You have been Tagged by the Froggy, which means you are a great friend!!

Be Deaf to Negativity…!!

Cycle of Evil

There was once a king who was so cruel and unjust that his subjects yearned for his death or dethronement.
However, one day he surprised them all by announcing that he had decided to turn over a new leaf.
“No more cruelty, no more injustice,” he promised, and he was as good as his word. He became known as the ‘Gentle Monarch’.

Months after his transformation one of his ministers plucked up enough courage to ask him what had brought about his change of heart, and the king answered:

“As I was galloping through my forests I caught sight of a fox being chased by a hound. The fox escaped into his hole but not before the hound had bitten into its leg and lamed it for life. Later I rode into a village and saw the same hound there. It was barking at a man. Even as I watched, the man picked up a huge stone and flung it at the dog, breaking its leg. The man had not gone far when he was kicked by a horse. His knee was shattered and he fell to the ground, disabled for life. The horse began to run but it fell into a hole and broke its leg. Reflecting on all that had happened, I thought: ‘Evil begets evil. If I continue in my evil ways, I will surely be overtaken by evil’. So I decided to change”.

The minister went away convinced that the time was ripe to overthrow the king and seize the throne. Immersed in thought, he did not see the steps in front of him and fell, breaking his neck.

Cycle of Evil

The Tiger, the Man and God

A man was being chased by a tiger. He ran as hard as he could until he was at the edge of a cliff with the tiger in hot pursuit. The man looked over the edge of the cliff and saw a branch growing out of the side of the cliff a few feet down. He jumped down and grabbed the branch just as the tiger reached the cliff. The tiger growled viciously as the man sighed a great sigh of relief.

Just then a mouse came out from a crevice and began to chew on the branch. The man looked down to what was a drop of a thousand feet and sure death and looked to the heavens and yelled out, "Dear God, if you are there, please help. I will do anything you ask but please help."

Suddenly a voice came booming down from heaven, "You will do anything I ask?" it questioned.

The man shocked to hear a reply to his plea yelled back, "I will gladly do anything you ask, but please save me."

The voice from heaven then replied, "There is one way to save you but it will take courage and faith."

The branch began to weaken from the mouse and the tiger was still growling a few feet above the man, "Please, Lord, tell me what I must do and I will do it. Your will is my will."

The voice from heaven then said, "All right then, let go of the branch."

The man looked down to a fall of a thousand feet and certain death. He looked up at the hungry tiger a few feet away and he looked at the mouse still chewing on the branch. Then he looked up at the heavens and yelled, "Is there anyone else up there?"

An office boy!!!

A jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at a very big firm.


The HR manager interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. “You are hired” he said, give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start. The man replied “I don’t have a computer, neither an email”.


I’m sorry, said the HR manager, if you don’t have an email that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist, cannot have the job. The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 US in his pocket.


He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 KG tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation 3 times, and returned home with $60 US. The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubles or triples every day. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.


5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance.


He called an insurance broker, and chooses a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied: ‘I don’t have an email’. The broker replied curiously, you don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?


The man thought for a while, and replied: an office boy!


The moral of this story:


1: Internet is not the solution to your life.
2: If you don’t have internet and you work hard you can be a millionaire.
3: If you received this message by email, you are closer to be an office boy, rather than a MILLIONAIRE.

Puppies For Sale...

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies For Sale." Signs like that have a way of attracting small children and sure enough, a little boy appeared by the store owner's sign. "How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked. The store owner replied, "Anywhere from $30-$50."





The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.37," he said. "May I please look at them?" The store owner smiled and whistled, out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging considerably behind.





Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?" The store owner explained that the veteriarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn't have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame. The little boy became excited. "That is the little puppy that I want to buy." The store owner said, "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you."





The little boy got quite upset. He looked into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."





The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies."





To this, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so good myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"
