for those broken hearted people out there, you won't regret reading this. read on.


Kehilanganku...

Tersentuh..

Sejak berpisah dgn org yg aku kasihi..aku byk pelajari erti hidup yg amat bermakna dlm hidup aku..aku yakin..ada antara kamu yg merasai lebih dari apa yg aku fahami hari ini..tentang perasaan kasih yg tidak ternilai dgn kata2..tentang erti berkongsi tanpa mengira itu dan ini..tentang ketabahan menghadapi ujian setiap hari..tentang menerima setiap perkara yg berlaku ada maksud yg kita tidak ketahui sepenuhnya..(tentang..kekalahan meneruskan cinta yg disemai tanpa rasa jemu…)

Jangan takut…

Cinta masih ada utk kita…

Mungkin bukan hari ini..mungkin bukan tahun ini..walau bila pun masanya..cinta yg bakal hadir utk kita..akan lebih hebat dari yg itu…

Cekal..?

setiap insan yg ingin bangkit semula akan menjadi lebih hebat daripada org2 yg tidak pernah merasai kepayahan..(betul x..?)jadi..jgn bimbang..,)

Apa yg akan jadi hari esok..?

Cubalah hidup tanpa gurauan dari dia..Cubalah menerima kesepian tanpa kehadiran dia..Cuba terima dia bkn milik kamu selama2 nya..Tekadkan dlm hati..kita mampu meneruskan hidup tanpa dia..Hidup ini perlukan kamu utk meneruskan perjalanannya..

Kamu perlu tabah demi hati kamu sendiri…cubalah........

Sepi..?

Aku mengerti..payahnya berpura2 senyum demi yg lain…apapun kamu sedar..masih ada jiwa yg lain perlu kamu jagai..jiwa yg mengambil berat tentang kamu..jgn gentar bila hati x tertanggung kehibaan yg dirasai..kita insan biasa..tiada apa yg perlu dimalukan jika menangisi apa yg terjadi..Cuma..jgn hilangkan siapa kamu yg sebenar…kesepian akan semakin pudar daripada membayangi diri kamu sedikit demi sedikit..

Cemburu..?

tipu jika tiada rasa cemburu bila melihat pasangan yg lain…kenangan yg ada…semuanya seolah2 menghukum kita…kerana mencintai seseorang…(tidak…)itu bukan hukuman utk melemahkan..itulah kekuatan yg diberikan utk kita..kemanisan tidak akan kekal..namun rasanya tetap akan diingati..rasa itulah hadiah utk kita…hadiah yg membuktikan kita berani menjalinkan suatu perkara yg luarbiasa..(cinta..) tiada beza kamu dgn pasangan itu sahabatku…kita sama saja..kita bertemu...dan kita dipisahkan...aku yakin kamu faham maksud ku ini...ingat..
'kehilangan tidak akan kekal utk kita...namun kamu perlu tahu..bersama...tidak menentukan ia akan tetap disitu..'

Pemandu Teksi Malaysia Paling Teruk Di Dunia

something just caught my eyes just now. frankly i couldn't agree more! and for the whole world to acknowlege it.. shame on us.. read on.

Malaysia's "Worst In The World" Taxis Tarnish National Image

The ads promoting "Malaysia: Truly Asia" aim to welcome visitors with a warm smile to a prosperous and modern nation, so the taxi fleet branded "the worst in the world" can come as a bit of a shock.

Even the locals are not spared the shabby service of unkempt and hostile drivers behind the wheels of decrepit vehicles who refuse to use the meter, overcharge and pick-and-choose which destinations they will travel to.

At the popular KLCC mall under Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Twin Towers is a typical scene, as a gang of cabbies negotiate with a young Norwegian couple just metres from a signboard warning against "taxi touts".

"Flat rate, flat rate, no metre," one driver insists as the tourists try to find a cab to take them to their hotel, less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) away.

Anxious to escape the baking heat, they agree to pay 25 ringgit (7.22 dollars) for a trip that would have cost less than three ringgit on the meter.

"Is it expensive? We don't know, we thought it is normal here," said the woman as they piled in with their shopping bags.

More frequent visitors, however, are vocal in their criticism and say that aggressive and unprofessional drivers are tarnishing the nation's image as a squeaky clean and hospitable destination.

"I first visited Malaysia in 2006 and I was impressed by everything I saw except for the worst taxi service I have endured," said Kabir Dali, an Indian tourist waiting in vain for a metered taxi at another mall.

"I paid a whopping 260 ringgit (74 dollars) from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to town and was later told that was twice the proper amount."

Complaints about taxis are common in many countries, but in Malaysia it has escalated to an outpouring of frustration, on blog sites and in letters to newspapers.

In a survey by the local magazine The Expat, some 200 foreigners from 30 countries rated Malaysia the worst among 23 countries in terms of taxi quality, courtesy, availability and expertise.

The respondents lashed the fleet as "a source of national shame" and "a serious threat to tourists -- rude bullies and extortionists".

Salvation is in sight though, as a number of smaller, up-scale operators enter the market to provide a more expensive but quality taxi service for frustrated visitors and locals.

The uniformed drivers, behind the wheels of smart new multi-purpose vehicles and sedans, switch on the meter as a matter of course and do not refuse destinations -- surprising and delighting commuters in the capital.

Abdul Razak, operations manager for Dubai-based Citicab which launched here in January, said that even in poorer nations such as Thailand and Indonesia, taxis are smarter and the drivers far more courteous.

"I would say it is the worst in this region, undoubtedly. I have travelled to all countries in this region and our company operates taxis in many parts of the world. The situation here is the worst I have seen," he told AFP.

"The vehicles are in shabby condition, the driver will take you if he likes your face -- that is, if he agrees with where you want to go for the price he insists on."

The government has called on taxi firms to lift their standards, but various campaigns have achieved little, and many blame the lack of enforcement on rampant corruption in the police and bureaucracy.

"It is difficult for the roads and traffic department to take stern action," said a security officer at one city mall as he watched the touts swoop.

"Taxi operators and the company which hold the licences are all linked to some politician or another," he said. "Drivers here are ruthless because they are unchecked by authorities who are almost non-existent."

John Koldowski, from the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said that "less than desirable" taxi drivers have an outsize impact on a nation's image.

"The first contact a tourist gets with locals is often during airport transits to hotels and it creates a very, very strong first impression, either be good or bad," he said.

"Authorities certainly need to do their jobs and act upon any complaints strongly, quickly and visibly."

Jangan Ada Ruang Untuk Penyesalan

as i was reading my sunday newspaper i came across a q&a in starmag under the heart & soul section, page 24. nevermind the question. the answer was what matter most. thelma wrote:

"whose face do you see when you think about the future? do you want to feel safe, familiar and acceptable? or do your prefer a relationship with someone who could make you feel loved, warmed and tender?

some women prefer practical predictability to wild heartbeat and passion. its a choice each individual has to make. and neither is right nor wrong. many of us walk through life passively and safely. some of us prefer adventures, risk and excitement. ultimately, its what we are that makes the difference.

some say love, passion and romance will fizzle out after marriage. some swear to great love and joy for a lifetime. most of us pretend that all is well. when pushed into a corner, we blame, cry and walk away yelling "foul"...

...be honest, sincere and rational if you can. it's never easy making choice when your heart is being pulled from different directions and your mind confuse.

...in time, you will have to make a choice. just do not leave room for regret"

just do not leave room for regret.
