Don't allow even a second

A measure of perseverance
to let it off, gone for ever
Never let it disturb you
not even a slightest tap
not even a slightest hum
not even a second

steadfast.....
that's you

walk through wood

It was silence  
as I walk through wood
audible only the breaking of leaves
and my own breath.


There
the realisation that I am alive
among the many lives and deaths
embodied within the plane
of Oneness.

Puisi buat Lienn

Lienn,
sudah pandai berbisik
merapat mulut kecil ke telinga
mengeluar bait-bait kecil
walau sukar dikait mencantum
ada sedikit imbas nakal
mengusik ummi

feeling bad

not to be seen as nonchalant
i take all things within strides
as i glide
within the rugged terrain

It's not for me to complain
because I tune up for pragmatism
to attune and adapt

ombak pertama

Hingga langit pun tahu budi dalam hati
Harapan yang memuncak terlerai tak bertepi
Hakikat meletak mimpi terpisah dari realiti
Helaian yang meleret tinta terang dalam sepi.

Pada ombak yang  mengusik hati
Pada pasir yang mencatat detik-detik dalam sunyi
Pada camar yang memandang dari awan tinggi
Waktu lesu menanti turun mentari.

bridging all mood
binding all nerve

as the heart trembles

I bow at the edge of time

no claps, just a bow.

bergeseran antara lena dan leka
menilai erti hidup berkongsi ruang

antara riang gembira dan duka derita

Fajar menyinsing membuka tabir memori
meletak warna pada tabir rahsia yang usang
menyelak dalam kedukaan
tersingsing rasa senang gembira.

to my dear little one NLH (2)


a sunset, tanjung aru, sabah.



Evening
~Thomas Miller

The day is past, the sun is set,
And the white stars are in the sky;
While the long grass with dew is wet,
And through the air the bats now fly.
The lambs have now lain down to sleep,
The birds have long since sought their nests;
The air is still; and dark, and deep
On the hill side the old wood rests.
Yet of the dark I have no fear,
But feel as safe as when 'tis light;
For I know God is with me there,
And He will guard me through the night.
For God is by me when I pray,
And when I close mine eyes to sleep,
I know that He will with me stay,
And will all night watch by me keep.
For He who rules the stars and sea,
Who makes the grass and trees to grow.
Will look on a poor child like me,
When on my knees I to Him bow.
He holds all things in His right hand,
The rich, the poor, the great, the small;
When we sleep, or sit, or stand,
He is with us, for He loves us all.

namun kau masih teruja, ternanti.

Apa kau selesa tidur diapit begitu

hatred

if you happen to have a slightest
of anger and utmost hatred
don't ever to try to come
with knife and dagger

I will not fight back
I will sit still watching you
plunging and slashing

I will only say sorry
as the last blood drop
to the bottom of sanity
as hatred rose to the sky
and falls as honey and dew.

Caterpillar

~Christina Rossetti


caterpillar
Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry,
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you;
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly.

Eating too much of Quality salt.

There is nothing wrong with quality certification.  The whole thing is not designed to kill, but to put weight and trust. The first time we embarked on ISO certification was years ago, the days of Likas. It was more of a necessity than anything else as we set foot on joint venture with british company. They are looking for measurable standard, there we go on the journey of quality. It was less than a year!

But we had seen friends becoming slaves of quality master, pulling themselves deeper into the depth of procedures, whereas we had been quite clear earlier on, this quality bible is for us to handle the way we see best. We set on the core issue, about going for certain achievable targets, using quality as the platform.

While our friends are drown into the deepest depth, we are sailing alright, sieving the unnecessary  aside, maintaining the central issue, the company existence, what we believe in to stay!

What is a goodbye

There are times when we thought
There is a need to utter goodbye
But the outcome differs
To the way others perceiving it.

a sincere and honest gesture
may be construed otherwise
depending on the openness of hearts.

in the final analysis,
never,
goodbye, a permanence.

I keep coming back to edge o'lake
to renew acquaintance with ripples and waves
as I sit and let it all out
to the vastness of water and sky

The flowers are sweeter, both colour and fragrance
The water is clearer to remain naked to the bottom of wisdom
The sky is bluer to put calmness and sooth worries
and I just sit thinking of you..

Didn't I tell you about QUALITY

We started early, too early
when competitors are still on the basics
of pure supply and demand
to handle challenges of market forces.

Over in Likas, as we mould our strategies
pushing parameters in all possibilities
as we venture to foreign field
as the need comes to put up our identity.

It's about laying out proper platform
for actions meeting objectives
for treating clients, customers and stakeholders
with utmost respect, confidentiality and fairness

It's about strategizing the roadmap
with clear target to achieve,
understanding feedback in its mechanics,

It's about supplier not to be let roaming free
for they too had too be accountable
what they had to deliver what had been agreed
and therefore they too, subject to scrutiny

Didn't I tell you about the review
that we love to get into
as we analyze every little maneuver
as we put everybody accountable

and we always believe on the whole journey
as a way to strengthen the quality
audited and endorsed!!

Rohingya, a long journey.

World had seen it thousand times
when majority squeezed minority
when the stronger push the weaker

The red Indians were pushed to barren lands
The moros were deprived of freedom
The rohingyas will face the same fate

It's the way the earth evolves,
always at the same pace and precision
never a second missed

And down the road,
there will be deaths and sorrow
when human life rendered worthless

It's always about political battle
It's always about championing an issue
It's always about economic maneuver too.

My dear anja
Forget not about the afghans
Forget not about the Iraqis
and soon the Iranians will follow suit

The whole heartless game is about power
either political or economical
but would you believe it
politic is the slave of economy!

Anja, the series is arithmetic progression
where you keep adding the same number
to let it goes up higher and higher

but dearest dont say A.P. too loud
because Ajam may think it as import permit
since he is too foreign about mechanical and auto

keep it to yourself about the magical number
as an interesting date
that will happen once
and not repeatable.

and dont worry about the surprise in store.

Have a gorgeous day!!!

feeling free waiting for a snack

walking slow, wearing the gown

The untold secret diary

the untold secret diary.
You didn't tell much
about the existence of a book
secret diary.

I think it was about a man
a decent man of unique quality
able to explore and implore

The intro begins with a question
who is this man?
I wonder if you had found the answer.

But my dear
you had sold his soul as charity
to the orphanage of injured souls

But that didn't bother him much
since he is familiar with commodity and charity
as he walks into daily lives

About him being artistic
or seni as you had put aptly
he will never argue or complain

If fate allows him
he will shadow east to west
taking the two poles to his chest

But my dear
he is very far and yet so near
he never say a word of the secret endeavor

He was adamant once
about pleasing them by agreeing N
about loving you by marrying Z

But dear where on earth
could you find a wonderful soul
allowing two fruits in a bowl

Therefore he slackens the rope
for you to feel a little bit free
to fill up gap and achieving goal.

Dear, it is alright
let the souls be free.
don't worry.

why did you choose me

as we move further
not to make it tougher
why did you/me allow
for it to last a lot longer

then 
we come to term
and you use the eraser
and I use the highlighter

it was April my dear
witnessed by Elise and Eliza.

but why me
out of  many
that you chose
until you decided

economics hidden hands

Dearest, I meander a  little bit away from the emotional ride. I am taking you to the brutal truth of economics.  First how would you view the whole economic of the country.  I leave it to you to form an early mould. Yea, your two year exposure on economics should provide some economic fundamentals. I on the other hand dont enjoy such luxury. The nearest to economics is when I was exposed to the mechanics of investment, rate of return, profit loses and cash flow. That was many years ago.

The real exposure was when we had to embark on real business.

explore

We went over to Bintulu for a scheduled appointment. The stake was high, the volume was large, the anticipation was awesome.  It has always been Alb and Gilb to do the negotiation over there, across the south china sea. They pushed it to me, to explore, to hold the pace, to offer alternatives, to persuade and to finally clinch. I wonder if both of them, my dearest friends were smiling or laughing or crying as they held their breaths without a word. 

We were laughing later. Huh, they can be so cruel to push me to the edge of cliff in their own motherland. It was fun, everything was alright .

To explore, set no limit......

It is not to sound too possessive

there is another that will deviate and change over years
within rigidity, within flexibility within the boundary.

It's sweet to jump into the sea with love at at heart
that would help in time of trouble asking for comittment

a man and a bike

There was a man in tattered dress cycling an old bike along the highway. I thought that has the weirdest thing I ever seen. He was alone, cycling in a slow pace. He must have traveled far, and I wonder if he has reached his destination. I wonder if he himself can tell where he is heading to.

I saw him again a week later around the bazaar near Stadium Shah Alam, sitting at the roadside. I gave him RM100, he said nothing. His teary eyes was the only mode of communication that morning.

sojourner a mystery.

I am here to stay
a sojourner I may say
I will never leave you alone
in the world we call home

I have only a life
not multifaced
I hold on to the trust
that we dont get erased

It's life as we understand
being fair and yet cruel
taking bits and moments
for a sweet duel

I let out a bit of me
as I dwell on the family
about them and me
as we safeguard sanity

Now that you found happiness
with the man that will take you far
I pray for your brightest future
and you can allow sad memories get blur

I will never let you down
if that worries you
I will safeguard treasures
sweetness, pain and worries
far from anyone, the way I can

If anything I write here hurt you
let me know, let me know
just let me know.

My worry over media brother

The world he is roaming
The hours on his schedule
The places on his whereabouts
The people on his appointments
are aliens to me.

But he is cruising happily
coming home with joyous antics
making it effortless to grab mom
to the brink of childhood days
as he kisses mom's hands.

So he too breaks into new terrain
playing it cool, splashing it out
with media hype as his cup of tea
never a world I am familiar.

His smile is effortless
always deceiving for we never know
what's within the smile and laughter.

Good luck to his engagement.
my dearest media brother.

dalam kusut jiwa membelai rambut naim
waktu melangkah tinggalkan adam
waktu pulang, segera mencari muhammad.

Ada mereka yang dikasihi Tuhan, lebih diuji
mengajak kefahaman nilai cinta dan kasih
walau derita pada mata, namun sayang dalam hati
demi kasih sejati anak dikasihi

Katakan pada kakak
bukan hak kita, nafikan erti semua ini
walaupun sehari, kasih tidak terluak
hanya penuh kasih, teramat sayang
memaut semua sekali dalam pelukan, dalam kalbu
abang, adik, kakak, ayah dan ibu......

semua hanyalah ujian
untuk kita cari dimana hujung kasih dan sayang
demi anak, ikatan kasih abadi.......................

Manja, nama itu.

bukan dulu satu nama untukmu
Tika masa mengheret waktu

kalau kau mahu ulang lagi
nama itu, nama yang itu
tidak mengapa.

cuma aku takut
nama itu mampu menggugat
waktu-waktu senangmu......

Tidak mengapa mAnja,
mungkin aku terlebih bimbang
manalah tahu, aku terjentik pintu terlarang
waktu meneroka kedepan dan menoleh kebelakang.

erti cinta

Apa cinta itu perlu dicari  
Apa cinta itu perlu dikejari
Apa cinta itu perlu dibelai
Apa cinta itu dijumpai

Apa cinta itu perlu ada noktah
Apa cinta itu perlu diuji
Apa cinta itu turut dinodai

Apa cinta itu difahami
Apa cinta itu dilubuk hati
Apa cinta itu perlu deklamasi
Apa cinta itu kekal abadi

apa cinta itu boleh dikongsi
apa cinta itu perlu demonstrasi
apa cinta itu perlu berbukti

apa cinta itu gembira
apa cinta itu derita
apa cinta itu puaka

my worry, on responsibility

the bigger responsibility
I was discussing with friends about getting youngsters strongly into rural related business. There is big volume of money to be explored and yet they shy away. When it comes to business, the rule is about capital  investment, profit reaped and local manpower deployment. Nature of business, the activities and the areas are not too important. People had been too simplistic putting rural development aside as being dirty and backward adventure. We look purely into rate of return on investment. So far we refuse to take in any foreign workers,  


Getting youngsters involved into the details will in the long run promise a fantastic future for our country. I hereby humble myself.

a gentle walk: picture of the week

gentle walk
It's never within my expectation
to be invited to such important occasion
because I once had put a constraint
putting a black block which finally cause endless pain

She is better off at one point
for displaying glimpse of what need to be known
and she is smart in placing a definite block
to ease her along the aisle, a gentle walk.

It is not important how I feel
and it is not important too
to expose the searing  pain
because we appreciate the glow of wisdom

we may want to lay down
on a naked lawn, looking at stars
we may want to wake up
on a soft bed, feeling sweet and fresh.

I had sent congratulatory note my own way
the very same way as we walked down two thousand six
at the edge of beautiful bloom
as petal slowly opened, one by one
and opening the nakedness of beauty and truth
as we walked on a journey of joyous ecstasy
of blooming love and endless friendship.




but dear, we do go from now, are you happy?

if you ever feel uneasy

My own emotional overflow
or emotional outburst
may cause uneasiness
on you

that I wouldn't know

It's not much of pages reopened
or putting varnish on old furniture
or setting fire to an old house

It's in fact my way of re evaluation
of paths taken

and to me my dearest
looking back is as important
as focusing at tunnels ahead

that's the way we have done
to steer business forward
and past happenings
will give some indications
to what to be expected.

and it's the same with my reawakening
with the help of the little one
bundling up respect and responsibility
for a brief glimpse of love

and the way forward
will be tuned up nicely
steering through hurdles

You let me know
if looking back doesn't make you happy.

Business, a tactical approach.

Many jump into business without slightest idea where would the adventure lead to. It's not that simple and straight forward.

We were young, energetic and brimming with ideas. We were naive at the beginning, but the fact that we were able to sit down regularly and did exploratory discussions, business began to make sense. It's like taking a piece of string and make a loop around what we envisage as our own business. We scrutinise everything within the loop to avoid the less important issues and distractions.


The whole concept of products, product development, market volume, marketing strategy, price fixing, profit maximisation, roll out plan, quickwin and quickgain, maket participation, short and long term strategy etc lead to what we term as tactical approach. It's not the text book theoretical approach, but more of our own homegrown concept. We didn't study business, but we do business in the way we thought best. It worked with some buoyancy.

A thing worth mentioning here is the importance of mentoring.  There should be someone you should turn to, for guidance at critical shift of business focus and diversification. So far not a single business area we embark on doesn't make headway...... everything seems to be moving and developing. The tactical approach is the whole thing, everything moulded into one single formula. Getting really involved and absorbed make business less difficult. It is all fun.

may i remind you, serenity seemingly endless

dearest,
how can I put it to you,
that there is a blog idling
on the other side of black/white world
very melodic, serenity seemingly endless

Blog
and a question I wish to ask
do you happen to forget the id and password
that the blog should stay as looking
and yet not knowing.

It's within your choice dearest,
either it deserves to be dormant indefinitely
or it stays awake in the blackness of night
or with a little jerk, it gets morning refreshment
or you wish to kill it off as brutal settlement..

but you may wish to deviate a bit
as we had familiarised ourselves
over years of alerts and alarms
to breath life into it's innocent soul.

separate cars

Someone did mention it to me
that wouldn't it be nice and sweet
if we travel together
to work, in the same car
myself and little one's mother.

Familiarity brings contempt
is the phrase seldom used
but that is a definite reminder
by the olds to the youngs.

I generally am not office bound,
mind and soul are all over
the many business ventures.

So we keep going to work in separate cars.

The closeness

Is it reciprocity I wonder,
or a pure mutuality
of the two souls
I, a learning dad
she, a growing daughter.

For having to be away often
on responsibility not forsaken
on assignments to be driven
and she learns about the absence.

An effort to cope with relationship
developing the familiarity and kinship
as I downgrade my vocabulary
for an adventure I reserve no worry

I am beginning to learn
within that split second shift
between eyes and lips
of how she pushes emotional signal
through her two lovely eyes
followed a second later by the beautiful lips
as she assembled little words
as she yelled out loud
as she invited me
as she seek attention
through the journey of closeness

and now I am the learner.....

It's my turn to say

Lets stretch far back to early years
when we share moments to the depth of night
giving meaning to the reality of friendship
as an entity without form but substance.

It was the period when waiting is killing
as we began to explore the core and the circumference
undertanding the constraint and yet kept sailing
as I mentioned about the two names.

The peculiarity of twist of fate
putting mkckzpn and me in a soup hotter than fire
pushing myself to the brink of sanity
retreating for  solace in a far away place.



As the the trauma healed over time
there is need for new chapter
and in their hope for a repair
pushing myself into a bout of another despair

It was Lia and then sister's friend.
and they cant find a better chance
not understanding what's in my mind
as I nurse the cut my way, my own way

It was you my dearest
the dearest of friend
that rekindle the flame
that I thought had been dim, never fire.

OH DEAR : picture of the week

the little one
The heat in her,
my little one,
as the scale passed beyond normal,
and the way she cried,
over my shoulder.............

and she said something,
in painful tears,
as i put medicine in her little mouth.

and she wouldn't allow me
to go beyond her reach
even for a minute.

I really want to write this.

ikatan
It was supposed to be a deciding moment, the day when I stopped at Gxcxck. I called and you were not there. The stop at Gxcxck was meant to be a complete U-turn of my life and yours too. Only my little sister knew, because she was with me. But let's not harp over the past, because we only have future to walk through.

kembang semalam

aroma yang mengasyik
celah warna yang mengusik
bersalut rentak irama dinamik

yang gugur itu fizikal
yang abadi tentu memori.

memori tersemat di hati

tukarkan status anda di alam maya

Wedding Poem - Puisi perkahwinan

- by the perfect bridesmaid

Wedding Night
The night you have dreamed of is finally here
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear
You’ve wanted so long to find your perfect mate
Sip this wine and toast this perfect date
The night is meant for you to share
Enjoy each other – a perfect pair!!

First Fight
When fights occur and tempers get hot
Pour a glass and be thankful for what you’ve got
If you always agreed it would certainly be a bore
And by asking for (BRIDE's) hand (GROOM) is surely
in for more!

First Anniversary
Been married a year, where did the time go?
No longer newlyweds, now you are pros
Hope the days found you in good health and
good spirit
Keep saying I love you –
one always needs to hear it!
Now toast this first date, it’s certainly not the last
And as you build your future don’t ever forget
the past!

First Dinner Party
Open your home to entertain and eat
Catch up with old friends and new ones to meet
When the night is over share this bottle of wineBut don’t sit down yet – it’s clean up time!!



First Baby
The news that a baby will soon share your life
will make you a mother, not only a wife
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes
through bad
(BRIDE) the loving mother
and (GROOM) the dearest dad
Sadly Lonnie must drink this one alone, and (BRIDE) with an empty glass
Sit back and relax – nine months will quickly pass!

story of a young lady

cuti kawin
There was this young lady
been with us for the last two years
asking for a week leave
when we were at the peak of activities

but how can I say no
to her appropriateness
being responsible and ever sweet
and now ready to wrap it up
with solemn oath and wedding bliss

I wish her every luck
to open up a new page, a shared page
lianna and .khairul

I keep opening mine
but some pages are found missing.

picture of the week: SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU

khas untuk Anja - September 2012
as in flickr

“She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!







_ DIENN _
for you Anja

doctor sister

medica sista
I was joking with her    
about a doctor lying in bed
waiting for another doctor
to help deliver a baby..


Her little ones had grown
and they keep picking on me
as their taekwon-do sparring partner
everytime we bump into one another
as the title gets shorter, alang.
and they are almost inseparable
to other little one, lienn the new darling


On rare quiet moments
we used to talk on that issue
- the route of a strict traditional family.
Now we seldom talk about it
as we dwell in that house
and she slowly becoming  the matriarch!

woman in suit, is that you.

she, confident.

and that is the business cut
a real cutting edge
that i had been visualising
of her demeanor
engaging, ever absorbing
into work
so smooth, almost effortless

She will glide
through people and work
keeping everyone on schedule
She will smile
keeping everyone happy
building up enthusiasm

She is ever absorbing
she, professional
She is ever engaging

a lady in suit
a smart lady

That's her.......
a lady i know for years...

fairlady, very sleek

I wasn't very fashionable
"skema" as you said, or old fashioned
and yet I bought something memorable
for myself, not for anyone else
as I stroll along Likas Bay
on cool windy days
to view the clearest of sky
to sooth the agony and sorrow
to rekindle spirit and bruised ego
to open up the heart to the sky
with familiar setting across the sea
kissing the sweetest of salty air

my fairlady stays there.
not sleezy... but sleek my dear
