Getaway

Been working like hell for the past two weeks. Need a rest! A good rest!

No Matter What

by shima ibrahim

I want you to know that
no matter what happen
No matter how bad we are sinking
I will never leave the boat

But
I feel like there is something
that makes the boat sink quicker
No matter how we pail the water out
It just keep sinking
No matter how we try to keep the boat floating
It just keep sinking
Like a huge anchor attached to the belly
and we are floating in the deepest sea

I wish I can put a stop to this
I wish I have the strength to pull up the anchor
and we all can keep sailing
But the hole is getting bigger, and bigger
It's getting out of control

We don't want to drown, do we?
My only wish is,
that a float will come by and restore our hope
But trust me,
we will be traumatized by this
and life will never be the same again.

What If

by shima ibrahim

What if it's true?
What if we have been fooled?
What if the whole thing is a scam?
What if all that we know are all lies?
What if we are the one who are being laughed at?

Because we tend to listen to what we want to hear
not to what we should hear
Because we tend to believe what we want to believe
not to what we should believe

In the end
We could be on the losing side
Gasping in disbelief

The Deepest, Darkest Secret

by shima ibrahim

The deepest, darkest secret
You will try your hardest
not to let anybody finds out about it
Because you know
it will be your weakest point in a battle

But the power is not in your hands
The walls have ears
The trees have eyes
The wind speaks the dark words
The secret travels
To where?
Beyond your imagination

When this little secret
got into the ears of the dumbs
There goes your fort
Soon enough,
You'll see yourself with a white flag in your hand

Good for you if you believe in karma
What goes around comes around
What floats will definitely falls flat to the ground

One thing you should remember
One man's shield, could be another man's weapon

This Is It

The Rubik's Cube

Also known as "The Revenge Cube"

Was once introduced by my grandparents. But I was too young to understand the rule of the game. At that time, I managed to complete one surface only. However, recently, this cube has become an obsession to my younger sister - Alin. In fact, it is an obsession in her school.

Alin taught me some of the tricks and now, I can solve the color puzzle on my own! It's interesting! Especially during the fasting month, this cube was a great time killer!

It has become my own obsession now.

Syawal 1430

Selamat Hari Raya, everyone.
Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Love

by Shima Ibrahim

Love,
I've once heard,
Is a short for Living On Various Emotions

When you first say that you loved me
I felt like a swan in a lake
Gliding beautifully on the water towards the sunset
People could tell that I was happy
just by looking at my silhouette

When you took my hand and proposed
I felt like tulips blossoming in the Spring
Blooming in the middle of the garden
Attracting every glancing eye
Even the roses envy the radiant colors

When we were announced as man and wife
and addressing each other as 'the other half'
I felt like dancing to the most romantic song ever
No one can describe the bliss to be united
I knew by heart that we were meant for one another

When we argued about the silliest thing
I felt like hurting you badly so that you'd know that I hated it
But when it's over, we laughed harder than we argued
I knew it then, I know it now
that it was just another color on our pallete of life

When we had our first born
I felt like a kid who has just found the last piece of his jigsaw puzzle
The picture is finally complete
I know that this gift from the Creator
is the strength that will keep us close to each other

And yes
Love is the one that is keeping us together
I pray that this love will never lose its heat
and keep burning for centuries to come
For I don't I love you like I did yesterday,
I love you more and more each day

I love you dearly
I love you infinity
Always have, always will

Heart

by Shima Ibrahim

Breathe deeper they say

For it will let your heart understand it's use

When you hold your breath

You can feel your heart beat slowing down

That's when your heart feels rejected

Then panic attack

Why would a human reject it's heart?

What makes they think they could replace their heart?

It's true that one, if not many, have had their heart replaced

But, how sure are they about the new heart?

Will it be the same as the one you were born with?

If it differs, will it be better or worse?

Why take the risk?

The Almighty knows what's best for you

Not just good, but BEST

You see, you can't even take your own life

if you just hold your breath

Your heart will scream for air and keep you alive

Just listen to me,

YOU betray yourself

Don't blame your heart

Waiting

by Shima Ibrahim

Waiting
Some say it's like thrusting a needle onto your skin.
The deeper it gets, the more pain you'll feel
But, once it gets through
You can't even tell that it is already in

Waiting
Some say it's like blowing a balloon.
The bigger it gets, the more excited you'll be
But, when it popped
You'll be left with nothing but busted lips

Waiting
Some say it's like baking a cake.
The longer you stir the mixture, the softer your cake will be
And, when it's done
You'll get the perfect texture to enjoy with your tea

Waiting
No one really gets the beauty of it.
Waiting is not wasting your time
Ironically, waiting gives you time
To think whether the outcome is worth the wait.

Thank You For Leaving

by Shima Ibrahim

I thought I was strong
To watch you leave
I thought I was strong
To see you with someone else
I thought I was strong
To have a part of you with me
without you around

But
When you seem like you don't care
I just can't wait to see you leave
For it hurts me even more to have you near

But
When you'd rather be with someone else than me
I just hope that you'll leave and never come back
For it hurts me deeply to see you laugh without me

But
When your negligence is something that you can't hide
I just hope you'll vanish from this world
For it hurts me terribly to see you change
in a blink of an eye

Miss you, I will
Devastated, for sure
Frustrated, deeply
Sad, more than I can endure

But still,
One thing that you've forgotten
I've got plenty of love to keep me going
One thing that you've forgotten
I've got my pillar to keep me standing strong
One thing that you've forgotten
I've got my sunshine to light up my days

And yet, one thing that I want you to remember your whole life
It used to be Mary J. Blige's Be Without You
Now, it's Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive
And yes, I WILL survive
Thank you for leaving and have a nice life!

Trust

by Shima Ibrahim

Trust is a strong word, you see
A very strong one
It's like you have a whole pie
When the pie is bitten a portion
And replaced with a new one
It will never be the same as the one you had before
Never.

The New Phase Begins

Uish! Dah lame tak update blog nih. Bz giler semenjak dua menjak Logitech bertukar P1 nih. Smpai x sempat nk blogging ke, FB ke, tgk tv pon dh x sempat! Eden pon dh x koser nak ngarang dlm English..buat nambah pening pale jer. Skali skala nnti bole ler..

Banyak bnda nk update ni..

1. Jumaat (28-Aug) - operasi pindah ofis. Dari Level 31 Menara Olympia ke Level 2 Tech Park, Bandar Utama. Berat hati nak ninggalkan Olympia nih. Dah setahun kat situ..mcm2 memori ade. Mmg malas la nak pindah..lemaklum la dah selesa. Lagi pon kitorg smua hampeh tak tau pon ofis baru tu kat mane. Tak de mase nak gi jengok. Finally, Jumaat yg memilukan itu, berpindah jua kami ke BU. Malam tu bukak puasa kat Level 3 Olympia (mkn free! hehe) ngan Kano, Calvin, Syafiq, and later joined by Gee, Ram, Sree, Kunal.. Final time mkn kt sini nih, pas ni xtau berkesempatan ke tak nk dtg mkn ayam goreng berempah Abg. Razak tu lagi ke tak. Huhu..

Sabtu (29-Aug) - ade P1 training. Sbb x tau ofis baru kat mane, terpakse la pegi Olympia, then tumpang member dr sane ke BU. first impression - cantek ofis baru nih. Lps training, setup PC nak keje esok pas tu balik. But still, no idea cam mane nk gi sane dr rumah..haha. Pagi tu, Mama, Papa, Kak yan, Abg. John, Alin & Danish balik Koyan - anta Alin balik hostel. Shasha x ikot sbb nk teman eden la konon nyer. Ape lagi..lps bkk puase, ktorg trus ke "Bank Negara Times Square" nak buat "investment". Muahahaha bkn ape..therapy ok! Siang td dh serabut pale ngan keje.

2. Ahad (30-Aug) - tak tau la knape, thn ni x excited langsung nk merdeka. Unlike the previous years (especially 2007 when we celebrated the 50th merdeka). Maybe sbb politik Malaysia koi hari, koi hampeh! Eden maleh nak amik port. Lantak kome la nak buat ape. Ktorg (eden ngan Shasha) langsung lupe mlm tu countdown until we heard the news on radio..haha. Klau Tok Pa ade, dh kna marah dh cucu 2 org nih..langsung x igt merdeka. Sorry, Tok Pa. Lps bkk puase, lg skali ktorg ke "Bank Negara" for another therapy session. Mmg byk la "investment" nyer. Later that night, lepak kat Old Town White Coffee Danau Kota. That was my first visit to this restaurant chain. Not bad.

3. Isnin (31-Aug) - first day keje in BU. Eden redah je ikot sign board. Jalan Duta - Penchala Link. Toll 2 hengget. Skali..ops tersalah masuk jalan - gi Mutiara Damansara plak. Tapi seb baik dekat. U-turn je pastu lalu ikot bawah 1U, straight.....smpai pencen, maka smpai la ofis baru. Satu je yg memujuk hati pasal pindah randah ni - jalan pegi-balik ofis langsung x jam. No more inappropriate stress!

Selasa (1-Sept) - first day of P1. Damn. That's all I've got to say. No further comments. Thank you.

4. Khamis (3-sept) - birthday adindaku, Shalia. Mama & Papa plan bukak puasa kat luar. Seisi keluarga dijemput memeriahkan majlis.

- Cikinto & Din
- Kak Yan, Abg John & Syafiera
- Shida & Ezad
- Shahrin & Nasrul
- Abg Amin
- Mama, Papa, Danish, Shasha, & Eden

Makan di mana? As usual, our favorite pick - Naili's Place, Sentul. Thanks Cikinto, for the cake. Bile buat birthday celebration cam ni yg buat eden berangan birthday eden nnti nk buat cam mane eh? *ahaks* Lantak la dh 24 ke, 42 ke..suke ati eden la nk buat party ke hape ke. Haha..

5. Jumaat (4-sept) onwards - everything went well as usual. Tapi keje skrg ni amatlah men-stress-kan pale. Lagi susah dr Logitech dulu kala kowt. But, maybe this is how it suppose to be for the first few weeks. Ye la..sementara nak cope ngan environment baru ni, agak kelam kabut jugak la. Hopefully, everything will turn out well for each and everyone of us. Or else - cabut la guys, tggu ape lagi??

Haha till next time, au revoir~!

Oh yeah!

Proud to be Malaysian? Please say you do..

Happy 52nd. Merdeka, everyone!

New Favorite Pastime

My new favorite pastime. Introduced by my sister - Shashalia. Here it is ... Restaurant City on Facebook!! Seriously, it's fun.

Screen shot of my restaurant - Le Festin. (Yup, it has a name!)

It's not like Diner Dash on Yahoo where you have to frequently use your mouse to get your waiter going. Just hire your friends (and yourself) to work at the restaurant. They can be a chef, a waiter, or even a cleaner. You can also fire an employee, but it will cost you!

My current employee list includes:

1. Cikinto
2. Shida
3. Shashalia
4. Kano
5. Dindang
6. Myself

The fun-est part to me is decorating time! Change the tiles, the wallpaper, the wall decorations, add tables, chairs, stoves, rearrange the tables, etc. etc. etc. It's childish, isn't it? But that's who we are, right?! Yippieee..~!
