Stay

A plain fact of human relationships is this:
People come and people go

Not necessarily from death.
Sometimes simple circumstance
can take a person right out of your hands,
never to be seen again.
That’s sad. But that’s life.

But I can be the one who is there to stay.
You can be the one who is there to stay too.
Destiny permits us to play the game of chances together.
So why not?

Try-Catch

Found this try-catch statement in white paper on "Framework for Secure Application Design and Development":

try
{
do_something_unspeakably_cool();
do_something_potentially_bad();
do_something_weird_that_might_have_enexpected_results();
...
}
catch( char * str )
{
cout << "Exception raised: " <<
str << '\n';
}

Best Days

Happy married life to Noran and Wafa! I'm soooo happy coz I know that both of you have been looking forward to THE day for quite a while, and I have to say that it couldn’t have been more beautiful. I know that you have a lot of great plans for the future and I can’t wait to sit back and watch them unfold for you. Congratulations!

And as for me myself, I'm going to blow out candles on another birthday cake this coming Oct 23rd. Yeah, 26, I'm old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes, young enough to look at the future. Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing, a tiny life. I was put here to live and love.

I hope my best days are ahead of me, always =)

Power of Time and Karma

My friend from LA, Eric, wrote to me (23rd June 12:20am):
..."If you can overcome the bitter thoughts and truly forgive it will be a positive growth and good Karma experience for you. You will also be released from the negative feelings because you know you didn’t do anything wrong. That would be a good place to live. Now after your forgiveness if he does this again then you can cut the rope knowing you did all you could do. Being disrespected is not acceptable."...

Karma works its magic on her, she looks cheap and fat now (and I hope for all the years of her life). Have I just wished bad Karma for someone else? No! I should not do that. It is up to the other person to control their lives, and to do so in a way that does not hurt others.

I guess I'm still keeping some bitterness. I'm trying, I'm trying...
Allah, purify my heart..

Iftar in Ramadhan

I always look forward celebrating iftar. I have been fortunate (in a sense) to spend the early days of Ramadhan iftar with family and few close friends. Today, part of Wengurls had their iftar together at Spring Garden KLCC. I can imagine they had a great time :D! Sebbek dpt bebuka with Noran + Aleen + Sha last week, kalo x sure aku jeles meles ngn gathering korg nih.

I'm getting used to have my iftar alone too. It's not as bad as it looks. Just food and me alone in front of the tv haha.

This Ramadhan has been distinctly different - can't really explain it in words, but I feel it. I try to purify myself through self-restraint and good deeds. Slowly. To try and keep on trying.

Have a blessed Ramadhan all!
