Dustanya Diri

What is Jawi?
What is Rumi?
What is Sufi?
Who is Hamzah Fansuri?

We know Marco,
We know Atlas,
We know Amerigo,
But who is Al-Attas?

Sudah hilangkah jati diri?
Ibarat Laki tinggalkan Bini!
Lupakah hati bahasa sendiri?
Adat di jiwa bak karatnya kersani!

Premium Member Mabel Mended Macrame

Millie’s mother Mabel mended macrame
Mainly Marseilles-made macrame,
Maddening moments mending machine macrame
Mostly made-to-order, mostly May macrame.
Making May mostly made-to-order macrame means
Many months modifying Malaysian macrame, mostly!

The Malay Pantun:  The Non-Party Communal Triumvirate

Ursidae carnivora hug and hibernate
   Hypolais polyglottes trill without triumph
Alliance Party* wins and vituperate
   Opposition parties coagulate without lymph

•	The ruling Malaysian communal triumvirate – 
since Independence in 1957.

What's Good In Talent And Character

Talent has never just one face
Your self-discipline  is needed
Your self-improvement also show
That you're also blessed by heaven
But you haven't noticed that
One Malaysian leader confess
I rather choose good character
Who will work for my country
Than has outstanding diploma
Who gallivanting in workplace
I stand in awe after knowing this.

Premium Member Known Unto God

nameless hero’s sleep

                                          carrying allegiance 
                                          to eternal graves

                                          a debt we owe
                                     to preserve their strife
                                      lest they died in vain

Charging Blues

Charging Blues

My power bank was dropped a couple of days ago...
Now it is no longer that efficient for power on the go...
The charger I have brought here with me, it is incredibly slow. ..
From early night till the next day, my phone is yet to be 100% charged...
Definitely a Rio Olympics record of a hand phone being continuously charged...
Hahaha... at the very  least, a mention please in the Malaysian Book Of Records...?
