Train to Busan

A father is a person who will always sacrifices himself just to make his daughter safe and happy.

I have watched it. Little did I know that the movie was one of the latest movies.
I was destined to watch it at home, with my daughter sitting next to me and my son soundly asleep behind me. He was tired of waiting for the movie actually. I told my children if they behaved well at home (last Monday) then I would agree to show them 'zombie' movie.

They are not afraid of zombies, so far. 

*now watching The Walking Dead 5* Why is it so unfair. The zombies in these series moves very slow and they can be killed by hitting and smashing their heads. Unlike the zombies in the movie Train to Busan @ TTB.

Am I going to talk what the movie about? Well of course NO!


Watching the movie with my girl really gives an impact. The daughter in TTB more or less looks like my girl. A deep one. Looking at how the father before and after the incidents, makes me cried. Yes, and it is comfortable to cry at home compare to in the cinema. Hahaha....

Basically, there are A LOT of lessons and values shown in this movie. That is what I enjoy about Korena movie. Let just forget about the whole zombie fiction thingy.
The humanity values that were portrayed by different characters changes people views about life. That is what I quoted from my friend's comments through her FB.

One of the best movie that I watched so far... in 2016.

Day 9 : Write about five blessings in your life.

Well, well. I have failed in this 30 days challenge. Nobody intended to fail, but most people fail to plan and eventually failed.

Things happen for a reason however never let things happen on its own without even trying to make the best of everything we have and we want to have.

Every little thing that has come to my life is a blessing. The smallest thing eventually lead me to realize that sometimes in life, we might lose the biggest thing we have when we ignore those small things.

The  5 blessings in my life are

to be me, myself,
to have such a supporting, dedicated and loving parents and family,
to have beautiful,brilliant and healthy children,
to have a career that has been one of my ambitions and....
to great friends around me.

My world might not look perfect to you but it is just right and perfect to me. Of course there are so much more than the 5 mentioned. Every day is a blessing to me. When I had a bad day at work, sometime I would feel unhappy.

I will be angry if my children do not want to listen to me, but I know that they are still small, energetic, very young and 'green'. That is pretty obvious. If I were to scold them every now and then, I will lost the moment seeing their happy smiles, contagious laughter and cute action gestures. So I will choose other way to 'tame' them.

Life is precious and every day is a new day for me to do things right. I am really blessed to have all the above things. They are the reason why I am still insane and happy in this world.

Something that you always think, "What if . . ." about.

If only I could turn back time, I would choose things differently. I will choose the road not taken by me. The present is not for me to regret, it is more of how I regretted for not doing things the other way around.

My post is late. Totally beyond the expected day. (As I was thinking and typing this, I saw a pair of scissors in my son's hand....OMG! NOOOOO!!! S l o w l y took it from his hands. It is safe, for now)

"What if..." I forgot how did I come up with this topic because I now feel that this word should not exist in my vocabulary at the first place. (In certain occasion... of course)

"What if I am able to complete my Works or TASKS at  a very fast pace. Fast! That would be awesome! I can finish all tasks in school right on time so that I will have more time to spend with my love ones...Now, he is standing in front of me, blocking my way to look at the screen and the keyboard.....icwyr1236r2btr3y2uo328437  ..ok thanks for the extraordinary language. T_T

Yup. That is what I would want to have. The skills and ability to manage my activities so it will help me to have a  more balance time between my life and my career. Help, my face...he is pinching my face. Still standing strong in front of me.

I always tell myself to be calm and cool whenever I am given a new task, whenever a student of mine made bad comments about the school and me, talking at the back of the class, raising his voice when replying to my question or instruction and etc. What if I don't have the patience to be patient? Hmtm, I wouldn't dare to think about that.

What about you? Share your thoughts about this topic too.

Choose one word of wisdom that influences your life and how

That one word is most probably starts with C.

Hi there. How are you feeling today?

The word is Courage. 
(Please don't mention one cartoon which has this as the name of the animal character- this entry has no connection or whatsoever of that particular cartoon).

For me, to achieve something that I want is to have the courage to do so.
To dream about something and to plan of pursuing it, one needs a courage.
Not every body has it and not every one could hold to it; permanently.

I always tell myself, once I have started something, I need to complete it. By hook or by crook.
I never remember to be someone who is afraid of any thing. (Not that I am boasting, but like I said, I never remember...)

I never stop challenging myself to improve for a better me. Yes, flaws and mistakes- been there, done that. However, they never succeeded to stop me or made me to make a U-turn in my life.They just made me to reflect what I should have done and what made me to opt for the other choice.

Courage is something that one needs in life because life is not a bed of roses (as cliche as it is, that is fact, the truth). I can never satisfy others expectations and neither they can do that for me. I belief our existence  is to complete each other, not to step or belittle others. To admit something, you need a courage to do it too. It is not easy, but you have to when the situation is crucial.

Basically, the courage that I have is one of the gifts given by the Al Mighty Creator. He never leave His servants alone. He is always there, it is just me who needs to ask for His guidance and everlasting love. Asks, and He will give what I need and not what I want.

What about you? Have thought about the one word of wisdom that influences your life?
Share it!

Share something that you struggle with.

Hi again!  (Am I doing a marathon entries again? Ayayaya)

Struggle with. Something that I am struggling with. Actually I have a number of somethings. Well, anyway let me choose one, the easiest for you to understand.

Firstly, life is full with events; the unexpected and of course the expected ones.
(Now listening to Blank Space by Taylor Swift)

I have recovered myself from one worst case scenarios that I bet nobody could recover within 2 weeks time (it was a 2012 history). I am proud to say that, the struggle that I went through has made me who I am now. I am stronger to face any obstacles as long as it is not death.

Okay, let go back to the post. I am struggling with MANAGEMENT. I feel that I am weak in managing things. I am always ready to improve myself in any ways, but the only thing that really makes my plan looks like unplanned is my management. In any things.. be it time, works, schedule, children, home chores, etc. I am not saying that I am no good in planning, but in managing things.

So, I have tried my best to work things out, slowly but surely. I have practiced to do things at the right pace. I am quite happy with my progress but hey, there is still a room for improvement!

As long as I never give up, and keep on managing things that need to be cater. I will be just fine!

What about you?

List the 10 songs that you are in love now

Hi there. Thank you for reading this entry. I will list the 10 songs that I'm in love now.
To me, a song is universal.
I love listening to songs especially songs that will boost my energy and make me think positively or make me to realize that I am the one who takes control of my life. I like to choose what songs that I want to listen to when I am in my car (that is another reason why I don't switch on the radio when I have companies) and I am pretty much aware that NOT everyone enjoys tuning the same channel or songs. Always be considerate of others. (The situation is different when my children are with me...they will ask me why is the CD not been playing..the same songs over and over again).

Enough about the story-telling. Now here is the list.

1. Assalamualaikum - Faizal Tahir
2. Knock-knock - Elizabeth Tan
3. Sejati- Faizal Tahir
4. Photograph - Ed Sheeran
5. A thousand years - Christina Perri
6. Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
7. You and I both love - Jason Mraz
8. Sugar - Maroon 5
9. Senja Nan Merah - Awie and Ziana Zain
10. ALL BSB albums! (cheating?? No..I love 'em all)

Write something about yourself that makes you really proud of.

Hello again.

Something about myself that makes me really proud of is being 'me'.

As the eldest daughter in the family (just for the record we have an older brother), I have become a child which my mother can rely on. My brother seemed not to be around whenever my mother needs him most. Dad was always traveling while he was still a government officer. Eventually, when the male characters are not in the chapter most of the time, I would be the replacement. And I strongly feel the situations have created a strong positive characters in me.

I have become a very independent girl...so far, up to this day. I have a strong, very strong characters that nobody would believe my story. If I choose to tell. Fortunately, I like to keep it to myself.

Growing up with a missing male character has really made me realize that living my life is on my own. And everyone might agree with me.

Bottom-line, I am glad to be me. And I am proud to say I am a working mother and also a mother to my 2 beautiful children.

List 10 things that make you really happy.

I know, I know. I started quite late. But I hope it is not toooo late. Let's see what are the 10 things that really make me happy.

1)    My beloved mother and father.
I was not really close to my mother, once. However when I started to enroll in boarding school, everything changes. Being away from them at a very young age (13 years old) had really change my perspective towards my parents. How close is close to my mother and  father? Well, if I could share with them my stories about my crushes, can you imagine how close we are? :3

2)    My belongings.
I like to keep myself and my space tidy. Most of the time I will fail to do so. I love to see my belongings arranged neatly. Don't judge me okay. I am not a materialistic person and not a hoarder.

3) Vacation.
Who doesn't enjoy a great vacation? One way of escaping from all the hectic life. The best part is whenever I went for a vacation, later when I come back to my home I will feel more energetic. Objective achieved!

4) My best friends (my girls)
Yup, the best friends from my uni years. I am glad that I know I have my best girls with me, still up till now. We met and knew each other since 2000. At present, they are my closest friends. Well, I do keep in touch with my ex-schoolmates too. From primary-secondary and also my course-mates during matriculation.

5) To be loved and love.
Knowing the fact that when you fall for someone and that someone too is falling for you is one of the happiest thing could happen in one's life. Enough said. ^_^

6) Chocolates and Cakes!
Yep, chocolates and cakes makes me happy. I don't really prefer eating sweets though, unless I am too sleepy but forced to stay awake (like when I am in a meeting?)Opps. Or when I got a sore throat. When it comes to cakes, I just love chocolate cakes and brownies! Whenever I achieved any of my goals (let it be small or big) I would pamper myself with a slice of cake from SR ( one of my favourite places to chill with my besties).

7) Cooking or Baking.
Since I have my own family now, these two activities are a must. I would be very very happy and glad if I can serve people with my own cooking or baking. I am seeking for praises when I knew I had cook a good meal. As long as the food is edible and delicious and if that is one of the reasons   to gather all my family members and friends under one roof, I would gladly do it.

8) Watching good movie
I love to watch movies in cinema. Being a mother of two makes this activity seems impossible. But everything IS possible when there is a good movie and IF I really want to watch it, I'll just find a way to catch the movie in cinema!

9) Reading.
Amazingly I still have the habit of reading. Now, I like to read books that motivates me to be a better person and to be a humble servant to Him. I prefer reading books that teach the readers to see difficulties as part of challenges on this world. Basically books about worshiping Allah SWT and parenting are my choices. Sadly, I don't really have much time to do reading but I know I must read at least once a week. (evidence of not reading too much? you can see it for yourself, right?)

10) Spending time with my family.
Of course, who wouldn't right? I love staying at home and spend time with my children. Looking at how well the grow up and playing games with them really brushes away my working stress. I can lay down on the carpet with them, listening to their talking (funny stuffs), answering to their funny yet creative questions and laughing together. A pure happiness.

Well, that's about the 2nd entry. Forgive me for being so slow..I am trying to catch up tho~ hehe.

A Kick Start!

Hi. Good evening. Okay. This should be done quick, short and precise (since my girl keeps on hitting the keyboard- seeking attention I believe).

So far this is my other blog. Once did somewhere in year 2001 or a year after it. Of course my friends and I were not really exposed to the online journal thing (at that time). We did it to fulfill one of our course in that particular semester. Not so fancy (no photos), it was merely an entry with paragraphs and a title for it. That blog does exist up till today, haha.

Now, it my turn to assign my students (intelligent boys) to create an online journal of them. It's a challenge and it is their duty or else! (Final exam guys, beware with what you do today might reflect your future).
