In My Little Corner of the World

I always love the oldies that people older than me would always found it weird since some of the songs that I listen to are way too old. I used to have a friend who shared the same interest in the oldies. I remembered when we used to exchange walkman (well... I was born in the 70s right?) and we listened to songs that we love with serious faces. my friends used to tease us since we were too serious looking when we listened to the songs that we like. I guess the melody and the lyrics are so simple that we could enjoy the music as well as understand the meaning of the song at the same time.

Well it's been a while since I browsed through my songs collection. I do need a little lift me up these few days therefore I've been watching some old dramas that i used to love. This song was played on the series finale of Ed (another favourite of mine). It seems like this could be my new favourite song. I dedicate this song to my loved ones as they would be the ones who are welcomed to my corner of the world..

Come along with me
to my little corner of the world
and dream a little dream
in my little corner of the world

tonight my love
we'll share a sweet embrace
we'll soon forget
there's any other place

and if you care to stay
in my little corner of the world
then we can hide away
in my little corner of the world

I always knew
I'd find someone like you
so welcome to
my little corner of the world

Just write...

Someone told me that I need to just write. My feelings, my experience, my travel, anything... Just write them down... Make a schedule and find a time. Don't be too critical on yourself or you won't even start... That would be almost the same message that I've given to my students. but I suppose for a different purpose. To my students I ask them to read and write a lot. Just practice writing as much as you can. You may start shaky and you'll be rereading and rewriting what you've written, but practice makes perfect. writing helps you clear your mind. Writing sharpens your delivery skills for your assignments... Anyway, I hope this is a start. the beginning of a scheduled blog post. I hope I can share a lot with people (well not really).. But I guess what's important is that I'm sharing... perhaps in the future, if there are things that I've forgotten I may be able to look back into my notes and perhaps there's life events that I would cherished in...

My Sydney (Kingsford)

My first time boarding a flight is to Sydney Australia. Never in my wildest dream to cross the oceans to live outside Malaysia for one and a half years. But it happened.. It really did happen. I was young then. Just graduated the year before and worked to fund my IELTS examinations and other preparations before flying off to the Wallabies Island. It was quite a terrifying thought as the furthest that I've been on my own was when I took the express bus to Perak to attend an interview. I remembered the day before. We had a small feast at home. Organised and prepared by the villagers. I was considered the first who went abroad at that time and in a way became the pride of the village. It was overwhelming to see how high was people expectation towards myself. The day we left for Sydney I didn't know what to expect. Being a control freak I've checked out the university's website for more than 10 times. I even printed all the information that I thought may be useful (bus / ...

Write all the recipe for me...

As always, we had a chat on the way back from school. The girls were hungry and asked what's for lunch. Well, since mummy was at home in the morning I've prepared a simple lunch for us. Masak tempoyak Ikan (fish in fermented durian gravy) and kacang botor goreng (fried winged beans) for mummy and daddy, fried chicken, fried fish and chicken soup for the kids. "Wow! So delicious mummy..." Mentioned Athiya. Then my little darling Alana said, "all mummy's cooking are delicious. When I grow up can you write all the recipe for me so I can cook delicious food like you?" Well my dear, you just know how to please me...as always. Insya Allah, when the time comes I'll teach you all that I know. I might not have the orange and torn recipe book like your late grandmother, but I'll make sure I jot down all the recipe that I know and especially those that you enjoy eating here in my blog. For you guys to see and maybe to refer to when I'm gone. InsyaAllah...
