Understanding The Drama In Life

Found this article in the internet today. I find it very informative and useful. Read on and see if you have the symptoms in you. If you have depression, you may feel hopeless and sad or stop feeling pleasure from almost everything you do. You may feel “down in the dumps,” tearful, or discouraged. You may also be irritable or anxious or have low energy levels. The symptoms of depression are often subtle at first. It can be hard to recognize that symptoms may be connected and that you might have depression. The two most significant symptoms of depression are: Sadness or hopelessness. Loss of interest in or pleasure from most daily activities. Other symptoms include: Losing or gaining weight because of changes in appetite. Sleeping too much or not enough. Feeling restless and unable to sit still, or feeling that moving takes a great effort. Feeling tired all the time. Feeling unworthy or guilty without an obvious reason. Having problems concentrating, remembering, or making decisions. Th

Y ahora yo me muero sin tu amor...that's how I feel.

Due to some reason, the Life in Motion pictures have to be removed from my blog. But the person who designed them is still here....:) LIFE IN MOTION, the pictures. Creatively designed by... LIFE IN MOTION, the poem. For the one who has touched the anatomy of my soul, Whenever you aren’t around, The clouds in the sky seems grey, The stars lost their flickering light And the world appears lifeless Under the pale moon light. Our life is a motion, And so are our feelings, Feelings of emptiness When you are not in sight Gradually make its shift to Thoughts of loneliness That leaves me in plight, And sometimes of happiness Each time I have you by my side. With or without you, far or near you I know our life is a motion, We have to keep moving And only through the grace of God To be meeting you again My life would then be intriguing.

My little secret fantasy when I was a kid, to live in the era of knights and dragons. This song brings me back to my old memories where I was deeply indulged in books about fairies and elves, princes and princesses, unicorns, knights and dragons. Life was so simple back then. If only I could turn back the clock...Puff The Magic Dragon was one of the best books I have read when I was a kid. I wish I still have the book with me so I can share it with my young ones. Puff (the Magic Dragon) (Lyrics by Peter Yarrow/Leonard Lipton) Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff, and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh! Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sai

Hello darling nice to see you It's been a long time You're just as handsome as you used to be How's your new love, are you happy? Hope you're doing fine just to know this means so much to me What's that darling, how am I doing? Guess I'm doing all right except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn. What I'm trying to say is I love you and I miss you and I'm so sorry that I did you wrong Hold me darling let me kiss you just for old times sake Let me hold you in my arms one more time Thank you darling may God bless you and may each step you take brings you closer to the things you seek to find. Goodbye darling I got to go now. I got to try to find a way to lose these memories of a love so warm and true. And if you should ever find it in you heart to forgive me come back darling I'll be waiting for you. Life is like the ocean, as the picture shown above, full of mysteries and secrecy. You can gaze and wonder a

I couldn't sleep tonight. Still sitting here in front of my loyal laptop, she has been my bestfriend for the past four years. I don't know what would I do without her in my life :) Upon hearing this song, I feel like ....ummm...dancing...maybe. One thing I know for sure, this song makes me happy, makes my heart blooms like the colourful flowers in spring. Even though I don't understand completely the meaning of the song but still it brings a smile to my face, lit up my mood a lil'. Kuch kuch hota hai...something is happening here in my heart. I can feel it. What exactly it is and why, I don't know myself. Well I guess that is the wonder of music. It is universal just like poems and poetry. We might not understand the language but the message is conveyed clearly in its very special own way. The more I listen to this song, the more it reminds me of a very good friend of mine who understands what the song is all about. I have not heard from this good friend for a long,

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can. I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that rivers cannot quench, Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay, The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let s so persevere That when we live no more, we may live ever. by Anne Bradstreet(1678) Found this beautiful love poem today. Her husband must have loved her so much that she can come up with something as beautiful as this. How I wish I can write something like that too...

I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me be right 'Cause I've drowned in you And I won't pull through Without you by my side I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight Baby can you feel me Imagining I'm looking in your eyes I can see you clearly Vividly emblazoned in my mind And yet you're so far Like a distant star I'm wishing on tonight Give my all for your love Tonight

"This Heart", the song that I love to listen to whenever I feel so blue...

Life is becoming so hectic, life as a wife, a mother, a teacher… Everything needs to be done, need to be attended to, every single thing. Not only my own children I have to “mould” and “shape” but as a teacher I have to do the same to all my students. And to do that these days to other’s children is definitely no simple matter. If 20 or 30 years ago, teachers are those who people look up to. No students dare to raise their face whenever their teacher preaches them. Even I myself, when I was a young student, do not dare to complain to my parents upon receiving slight strokes from my principal for not accomplishing my homework. I know if I were to do that, I will only receive more canings from my dad because of my own mistakes. Today, for the numerous times, my credibility as a teacher is being “challenged” by my student. Everyone in the class saw this particular student has a mobile phone with her, she in fact, proudly busy taking pictures of her friends with it. When she noticed that I

I was busy bowling tonight with my family when my sister received a call from her colleague to inform her of sad news. Malaysian’s first cosmonaut, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar’s younger brother died few hours ago after few days in a coma. He was only 32 years old and has no history in suffering any serious illness. His parents were in Russia upon receiving the news that their beloved son passed out after walking into a pillar. They flew back to Malaysia immediately only to find their healthy son being treated in the I.C.U, unconscious. It was really a heartrending moment for the couple to witness such sight. And now they have to be extra strong to face this great test from Allah. Dr. Sheikh has accomplished his mission successfully and has made all Malaysians so proud of him. He has just arrived safely from the outer space about a week ago. He is supposed to be in quarantine for a month to make sure that he is perfectly healthy. However, due to the sudden news about the death of his dearly lo

You are the air I need to breathe the river of life inside of me you are the half that made me whole you are the anchor of my soul And you are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through that's the love I found in you You are my shelter from the storm you are the road that leads me home and baby with you here face to face Oh I know I've found my place And you are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through that's the love I found in you And once in every life you find the one that's right and when you say forever it's true That's the love I found in you You are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through That's the love I found in you That's the love, love I found in you. Lovely melody, beautiful words chosen, very inspiring and stimulating indeed. Thank you Jim for your wonderful masterpiece.

Some of the shots taken in the morning of Eid after the prayers...Pictures speak a thousand words, well perhaps in my case, not all :(

The song that touches one's heart, reaches one's mind and feels deep into one's soul... If there were no words No way to speak I would still hear you If there were no tears No way to feel inside I’d still feel for you And even if the sun refused to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine All of my life I have been waiting for All you give to me You’ve opened my eyes And shown me how to love unselfishly I’ve dreamed of this a thousand times before But in my dreams I couldn’t love you more I will give you my heart Until the end of time You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine And even if the sun refused to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time ’Cause all I need is you, my Valentine You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine ...and will always shed tears to one's eyes.

As I was watching TV with my children on Friday night, I received a call from my colleague with shocking news – one of my students did not come home from school today! Has she been abducted like other girls?? Is my worst nightmare and my worst fear becoming a reality? My mind can’t help thinking about the worse that could happen. God, please make me wrong this time. Not long after the first call, I received another ring from my principal. She wanted to know if the girl was at school today. Yes she was in class today and as her class teacher, I gave my principal the rest of other information needed. Then, after having a long conversation with her, I received a third call and this time it’s from the father of my missing student. He, too, wanted to know if his girl was at school today, whether she shows any signs of depression and if I know any of her activities after school. I told him what I know, through the eyes of his daughter’s class teacher. Teenagers today are definitely not the s

It has been more than a week since late little Nurin was sent to heaven. But the story about her vicious murder can still be read in the newspapers. Personally, I still feel disturbed and very much uncomfortable knowing the fact that the crazy slayer(s) a.k.a the evil bastard(s) are still out there. I know the police are doing their very best to arrest the bastard(s) and to bring them to justice as soon as possible. So far, they have remanded 4 male suspects to facilitate investigations. And thanks to the FBI agents for coming here to Malaysia to assist in identifying blurred images from the CCTVs. Like other mothers, I am just concerned too much about the safety of our children. I don’t feel safe taking my little-8-year-old girl shopping anymore, always making sure that I have her hand in mine, never let her out of my sight. And if I run into any young children who have the lost look on their faces, I keep an eye on them until I see the presence of their parents. Maybe I am being para

This poem is written for Nurin who has left us and this cruel world behind, seemingly far too young. Losing a child is the worst hurt of all; As a teacher and a mother of two, I feel the pain too. My deepest condolence to her family and friends. Be strong, God loves her more than we do. In Loving Memory of Nurin Jazlin My eyes welled up in tears as I flipped the newspapers, It never occurred to me how much pain you’ve endured, The severe pain that no one can imagine, The extreme hurt that no one can picture. The things they do to you are beyond human’s ability, beyond human’s capability. Who are these evil beasts who have the heart to hurt a beautiful, angelic-face girl as you? No more shall your friends witness your cheerful smile, that lights up their days. No more shall your family feel your warm kisses that brightens their nights. Oh little angel, oh little one, you shall be missed by all and everyone, much more than words can say. Take heed now little one, 'Cause no one can h

The autumn breeze delivers your sweet kisses, Softly whispers in my ears, Gently caresses my skin, Leaving me with a serene feeling. We may be oceans apart, continents away, But my love for you Will be etched in your warm heart And there forever it will stay... My vow to you on your very special day.

Lately our country is shocked to hear series of little innocent children who were kidnapped, sexually abused, raped and some were even killed, burnt or strangled to death. Today, almost a month after the disappearance of the 8-year-old Nurin, the country was once again traumatized by the news about a little girl’s body, found in a bag and being left in front of a shop. She was dreadfully tortured, sexually abused, raped and brutally murdered. God! She was in deep pain before she died!! I can’t help myself from shedding the tears as I read about it over the newspaper this morning. As a mother, I feel disturbed by this kind of terrible news. I can never understand why on earth anyone would want to hurt these little angels. They are God’s greatest gifts; they should be greatly loved and protected, not to be mistreated, not to be battered this way. What is becoming to the people nowadays?? We are behaving like beasts each day. Nobody seems to care about anyone anymore. Today, the streets a

Beneath the gleaming moonlight, Underneath the dazzling stars, The heart keeps beating fast, Pumping the fear to all the veins, Driving the pain to the feeble mind, Thrusting the loneliness to the helpless body, Propelling the twinge back to THE HEART… When will the heart stop pumping fear to the veins? When will the heart stop driving pain to the feeble mind? When will the heart stop thrusting loneliness to the helpless body? When will the twinge stop propelling back to the heart? When? When? When? When the day THE HEART stops beating...

When I was young, I would listen to this song every night and day and memorising each of the lines by heart. At that time, I even felt my days were incomplete if I don't have this song to be played on my cassette player. Today, as I walk down the memory lane, I realised how much the song has affected my life. Like the song, I have lots of questions too, that I have yet to find the answer. The more I question myself, the harder and complicated life seems to be. I guess some of the things in life are not meant to be revealed, it is better left unanswered. The song brings a lot of melancholy, heartbreaking, beautiful memories that skinned my heart from my teenage years until today. This song can bring smiles to my face, can welled up tears in my sombre eyes, both at the same time. For now and always, this evergreen song will have a very special place in my forlorn heart.

As I was flipping through my books today, I received a text message on my phone from my beloved sister saying that she has safely reached John F. Kennedy International Airport approximately a couple of hours ago. “Alhamdulillah…” I whispered to myself. She is one of the three lucky journalists from all over the world chosen to receive the Dag Hammarskjold Memorial Scholarship Fund of the United Nations Correspondents Association. Your message, Yanti, somehow triggers me to walk down the memory lane… “Akak, look what I’ve found. Strawberry Shortcake!! I want to ask dad to buy for me.” Yanti tugged my dress to get my attention when we were at the toy section at Ipoh Metrojaya one afternoon. “Hey, you better don’t. This doll is too expensive you know. Dad can’t afford it!” “Dad...dad...Can you buy me this Strawberry Shortcake, pleaseeee?” Ignoring my warning, Yanti would scream at the peak of her voice without even noticing several customers nearby sneering at us for whatever reason, I wa

My trip to Kuala Selangor was a fantastic one. I never thought that I could actually enjoy it but I did. To be free from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was such a serene and tranquil feeling…something that I have lost for quite some time. The bus left at about 1:30pm and after more than 2 hours, we reached our first destination, the Kuala Selangor Nature Park. We were greeted by a group of “friendly” monkeys, eyeing on us for any handbags or stuffs that they can snatch and make them their own. Well, not so fast monkeys…we were warned earlier of your "warm welcome" so we were quite prepared for that. Besides the Nature Park, we also visited the historical site, Bukit Malawati and later to watch millions of fireflies flashing their lights at Kampung Bukit Belimbing. Here are some of the shots taken during my visit there. My friends and their children were crossing the shallow river using the shaky rope bridge. It’s kind of fun and thrilling!! The Rope Crossing reminds me

To enable students to enjoy (or at least be comfortable with) reading the foreign language, and read without help, unfamiliar authentic text at appropriate speed, silently and with adequate understanding. (Nuttal 1982) To enable students As teachers, we cannot force or make the students to memorize the language. Language cannot be transferred. Therefore, it is important for the teacher to develop language environment for the language skills to develop. Teachers have to prepare a condusive environment where extensive reading can take place not only in school but also at home, reading on their own. to enjoy (or at least be comfortable with) reading the foreign language It is important for teachers to prepare them with interesting materials to read. Students should be allowed to have the freedom to choose any book that they like (besides the non-halal material). This is to instil the habit of reading and make them feel that reading is a ne

Mi profesor español en su mejor actitud. Y del fondo de mi corazón, quisiera expresarte mi gratitud para todo que me has dado. Ya calmados tus enojos, Ya pagados mis errores, Yo tengo que decirte mi verdad. Tu eres el amor de mis amores. No te culpo si no vuelves Te comprendo si me olvidas. Pero algo mas te quisiera decir El maldito causal de tus heridas Gracias por tanto amor, Gracias por existir Gracias por darle el sol A mi vivir. Gracias por tanto amor, Gracias por existir Pensando en lo que fue Puedo vivir. Te gane con mis verdades Te perdi por mis mentiras Sabras que es caro el precio que pague Sabras de mi dolor si mi alma miras. No te culpo si no vuelves Te comprendo si me olvidas. Pero algo mas te quisiera decir El maldito causal de tus heridas Gracias por tanto amor, Gracias por existir Gracias por darle el sol A mi vivir. Gracias por tanto amor, Gracias por existir Pensando en lo que fue Puedo morir. Gracias mi amor...

Yes, we can!! Yes, we are the champion for this year’s choral speaking competition which was held on the 15th July 2007 at Subang Parade. Oh boy!! After all the hard work and intensive practices that we had in two weeks, we finally made it. My students were so happy that some even shed their tears. I found tears rolling down my cheeks too, the minute the MC announced our team as the new champion. To be honest, I didn’t expect my team could win as this was their first exposure and other teams were equally awesome. The judges must have loved the way my students presented their poem, Malaysian Eating Frenzy. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all that have helped us. This is not only the team’s victory but each and every members of the school. It’s our success, our glory…the triumph of SMK Seksyen 4 Bandar Kinrara!! **blink…blink...** I don’t know what else to say. Yes, I am too happy for the success of my students!! Here are some of the shots t

Pernahkah Kau Bermimpi Seketika Berada Di Tempatku Membayangkan Pahit Manis Berlalu Entah Siapa Yang Tahu Mungkin Nanti Kau Jua Merasakan Berdepan Dengan Kata Menyesakkan Takkan Tugumu Kebal Tiada Pertimbangan ***Keheningan Malam Membangunkan Kepayahan Jiwa Meluahkan Andai Kau Jujur Memahami Tiadaku Menjauhi ***Dan Kisahku Yang Masih Panjang Menambahkan Berat Yang Memandang Lantas Ku Pendam Ku Putuskan Biarlah Rahsia Semakin Aku Hidup Dalam Cinta Tiada Kuasa Mampu Menghalangnya Hentikan Kata Kata Bertulangkan Dusta

Esta canción lo dice todo. Me atan de hecho a tu amor. No llames la atención ni sigas provocandome Que ya voy comprendiendo cada movimiento Me gusta lo que haces para conquistarme para seducirme para enamorarme Y vas causando efecto No sabes cómo me entretienen tus locuras Y que para verte invento mil excusas Has dejado en jaque todos mis sentidos Pones a prueba el motor que genera los latidos de cada ilusión Mira lo que has hecho que he caido preso (en tu cuerpo y en tu mente) Y en un agujero de tu corazón (en todo estás presente) Y la libertad te juro no la quiero (si estoy contigo) dejame atado a este amor atado a este amor Acabo de pasar la línea de tu encanto donde solo mirarte es un paisaje nuevo Y tejes las cadenas que amarran mi sexo que endulzan mi alma que tienen mi mente y someten mi cuerpo Y para que dejar que pase y pase el tiempo si tu y yo preferimos comernos a besos Has dejado en jaque todos mis sentidos Pones a prueba el motor que genera los latidos de cada ilusión Es

Tired of feeling all by myself Being so different from everyone else Somehow you knew I needed your help Be my friend forever I never found my star in the night Building my dream was far from my sight You came along and I saw the light We'll be friends forever ...And so the song speaks my mind...

EVERYTHING I DO, I DO IT FOR YOU

Why, do you always do this to me? Why, couldn't you just see through me? How come, you act like this Like you just don't care at all Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall? I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away I could feel I could feel you baby, why It's not supposed to feel this way I need you, I need you More and more each day It's not supposed to hurt this way I need you, I need you, I need you Tell me, are you and me still together? Tell me, do you think we could last forever? Tell me, why Hey, listen to what we're not saying Let's play, a different game than what we're playing Try, to look at me and really see my heart Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart? I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away I could feel I could feel you baby, why It's not supposed to feel this way I need you, I need you More and more each day It's not supposed to hurt this

Fall in love with this song lately..."I Don't Love You" by mi hijo's favourite band. "...I don't love you like I loved you yesterday..." Perhaps that's because today I love you even more!!!!! Whatever it is, this song is really cool, I enjoy listening to it. Anybody care to join me head banging? Yeaahhhhh :)
