Poem: The Daily Post Prompt - Jiggle

(This poem was made by using The Daily Post prompt for 26/02/2017 - jiggle)

 The Man Behind The Door

 I jiggle the bells on the door dangling
How very strange I start questioning
A person using bells still to ring
But little have I moment for baffling
As the door open and a man is standing
His tall body lean and his presence empowering?
It's in his eyes, an eerie green and domineering

A quick breeze had jiggle the bells - clanking
As I shook myself out from my trance being
"Hello sir, you see my car had me struggling
It's not until tomorrow I can get some helping
If you may good sir if I'm not troubling
Would you mind to have me here - staying?"

The man had low voice chuckling
As if I am some kind of plaything
I stood calmly and earnestly yearning
Until suddenly a loud crash can be heard banging
I turn my head and it's my car oh how charming!

It is before my mind can start reasoning
When I see from the distant a man was hit and now dying
It is before any ideas can start propositioning
It was the man with the bells that still jiggling
It is before I understand the truth I'm facing
I am, no, I was still behind the steering

With cuts all over and enormous blood spilling
With another soul marked as me sinning
The man has a low voice chuckling
"Oh dear, I think we have other place we should be going"

Roll On: 7 Day of Blogging & Cooking

Mar 4, 2017


It has been almost a week from the week which I challenge myself to do constant blog update and cooking for the whole week - ie, the "A Post A Day - 7 Days Topic To Go" and "Cooking Plan For The Whole Week"


I have never done that before and it felt so good to actually finishes it!

Monday

I totally forgot to take any pictures and only realises it halfway through lunch. Haha. So it turn out we got three kind of fishes which is - ikan curut, the head of ikan nyok nyok (cut into two) and ikan tenggiri. I do make curry for lunch but I didn't fry more fishes at night as we skipped dinner. We ate keropok ikan (chips made from fish) given by my friend in the evening and got full.

I wrote my review on Lemboy Restaurant and later asked my sisters for the pictures she had taken when she went there with her friends. I still didn't upload the picture, though. I like Lemboy but due to the crowd, I'm not sure when will I go there again.

Tuesday

Since on Monday, I have cooked extra gravy for the curry, I just heat it back and fry some more fishes today. The kangkung we bought on Monday is a lot, so I kept some and cook it today for lunch as well. So, I didn't follow the plan for today. You see, I wrote in my journal on my progress and literally write we ate kicap for dinner. I don't even remember I made any kicap (soy sauce) related food for the week since I'm not a fan of it,

Still forgot to take any pictures.

I wrote about what I learn on buying domains and hosting service etc. I still have so much to learn and to be frank, I still didn't recheck that post because I knew there would be loopholes and I would be itching to rewrite it.

Wednesday
For today, we supposed to make masak cuka (vinegar) but I only realised on this day that we got ikan nyok nyok and we always make masak lemak cili api out of it. That is how we ended up eating masak lemak cili api instead. At night, I made masak tiga rasa out of the other half of the ikan nyok nyok head since Angah requested it.

I wrote about blogging tricks and initially, it was supposed to be "you should do this because it is good tips". Later I realise, I have some preferences which some bloggers didn't, so I changed it into what I do as a blogger instead. 

Guess what, I took pictures!

for some unknown reason, those japanese cucumber always taste fresher than the common cucumber.

Thursday
For lunch, I made laksa since there are lots of ikan curut left. There are likes eight or nine of them so the gravy becomes rather thick as I don't want to make too much gravy and end up throwing it. It tasted good, my sisters say so, not me. I want that laksa mee instead of the common laksa beras but has mistakenly bought a different one. It still have the consistency of a laksa mee but with flat structure. It's not even mee sanggul. I'm not sure what it really is. I didn't took notes on what we have for dinner but all the fishes have finished so, YAY!

I think I make fried rice with meat for dinner.

I shared about my bad habits today and it was a real quick and short update but nonetheless, a rather fun topic to write out.

Thick huh? But I actually love it that way.

Friday

The dreaded day has come, I become so lazy. I cooked canned sardines for lunch. Yeah. But, I still cook mee bandung for dinner and my sisters say it tasted good. It does, I'm not self-praising but to get it good for the first time and sincerely, it is hard to find good mee bandung today so I am just so happy.

I explain on how I have improved my English games and it has been a delighted topic for me since I always loved English.

By the way, this is a very exhaustive post and now my shoulder starts to hurt. I have been on the computer for more than an hour now. Two days left only so I'm am going on.

I put meat because I love meat. 

 Saturday

You see, since I have been using some vegetables for the condiments in laksa and mee bandung, there are few vegetables left so I choose to cook paprik today instead. It is really an easy dish and we just throw everything in. The dish was more than enough for us but since paprik always tasted good with omelettes, we made an omelette as well. However, I put too much water so it becomes a bit runny. I should put some corn flour to thicken it but oh well.

I shared some free e-books which are actually quite amazing since I only share this kind of stuffs if it made me excited so go freaking read it NOW.

No, we don't put pak choy into paprik but hentam sajalah.

Sunday

Ah, the final day finally. We are supposed to make stuffed cencaru but I freaking accidentally blended everything thoroughly so it become like sambal cencaru instead. Haha. For dinner, we have bihun tomyam using the tomyam paste that my friend asked me to try. It is so good.

I end the week stating the reason why I would want to get myself my own domain but now I didn't really feels like it anymore.

Everyone was so excited to use chopstick for every noodle dishes. Heh.

The paste that she gave me

That's a wrap!

Now I'm hungry.

Roll On: Things that stand between me and complete happiness

Mar 2, 2017


This post is based on a writing prompt i'm trying and the prompt asked "things" but mine has only one thing, myself.

But first, to clarify one important principle, I do not really believe in "complete happiness". On the other hand, I am not a pathetic pessimist or an always-stay-positive freak campaigner. I think it is termed as realist or something.

I accept whatever it is, gives effort, never put high hopes. To think about it, I stop being hoping and just go with the flow even if the initial plan went to wreck. Yeah, I plan too. Not sorely a complete hippies eh.

To understand what stand between me and complete happiness, well, I need to know what complete happiness is for me. I viewed complete happiness as being satisfied with the way I live my life. Personally as a Muslim, it means that whatever helped me to get Allah accreditation. To tell you the truth, I am so far away from that. I'm trying still. I am still a faraway heart at living zuhud (unattach to the worldly needs) but we can still always tries to do good deeds.

So, live will mean so much more if we have an utmost goals to achieve. Being a muslim, it is set rather plainly easy. To get His love and be granted Jannah. Yeah, those non-muslim may have thought that this is lame and conservative and downright abuse at one point but that is truly their issues. Guess what, not all Muslim shares this same thought but truly we held no hard feelings whatsoever. Some of you may understand how non-Muslim viewed this as not living the life but that is what is funny right. I mean, the ustaz start wearing tux and be claimed to be edgy muslim but then why? Because all their western idols are wearing such and be all succeed, rich and handsome. Because they are majority. Because all of Instagram feeds, Tweets and television are full of those. We are just following. 



Some scholar have shared this words saying, if we ain't living the way Rasulullah is, donning his apparels or his wives apparels, how can he know us I akhirat? I mean, if our live is all about looking like western artists, would not he mistaken us as kaffir as well? Just think about it.

So yeah, my complete happiness is to live as a proud Muslim and I am the only one stopping myself from it. They say it is for the lack of hidayah or iman and that we need to pray more. I will pray so much. But, Islam is not only about the black overalls and the long ass beard. One thing purely genuine in Islam that there are many ways to show our love for Him. No, bombing peoples is not one of the way. Killing people is a very big sin that Allah say if we kill a man for unjustified reason, it is like we kill the whole humanity. 

I have seen my share of other peoples doing their ibadah in their own different way and they are happy. No one really know if Allah accept their ibadah but their peacefulness is some kind of proof am I not right?

I just need to find my own way.

The only one who can do that is me. I can not have others deciding what I want to do in my life. Whatever it is stopping me from being happy is truly my own self. If something bothers me, I should be the one getting rid of it. If living to His satisfaction is my happiness, I should be including ways to be one and being confident with it.

You know the most beautiful thing is? No one can really help me to figure these things out but Him. I can always have Him and will always do, InsyaAllah.
