A Tranquil Moment of Gratefulness


As usual, I am not able to sleep tonight. My body is aching, my eyes are exhausted, but my mind is not able to bring myself to the Land of Sweet Dreams. My soul is drifting away, floating in the middle of nowhere…wanting so bad to harbour myself there, in the no-pain land. Unfortunately, my mind has been trying so hard but to no success, only to realize that I am trapped. Trapped and got myself tangled up in this web. I am wretched with this so-called cyber world. Too many fallacies and inadequacies and obviously these shortcomings are tearing me down.

However, amongst the many “fake” people here and despite the pain of having to bear 1001 lies from them, I am considered lucky and I am always thankful to The Almighty for sending me two genuine sensitive guys in this created artificial world. To Sazad, my deepest appreciation for your intense love and to Shawn, my heartfelt gratitude for your kind friendship. Thank you for adding some spice into my life and for generously taught me the true meanings of love and friendship as well as life in general. You both have provided the sense of balance in my life and have filled the emptiness that has long occurred in this soul of mine. I can never thank you both enough for that.

Even though we are living in a different part of the world and have never met one another in real, I wish you can remember me with smiles and laughter for that is how I will always remember you.

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama
