Walking in another's shoes

Putting ourselves in another person's shoes is the key to empathy and true non-judgmental understanding. Each of us has a unique set of circumstances that make up our lives, and how we are derives from a combination of our conditioning, our innate nature, our experiences, and our environment. But we are all human beings, with the seeds of all human actions latent within us.

Love in the Air

If I'll make my eyes blind,
Can you hear my honest heart?
If you close your ear,
Can you see the sincerity of my heart?
If love is blind,
Can you alter the feelings?
If I cry,
Can you describe it?
I love you not as the shadows of my eyes,
Can be describe in words,
It's really a deep meaning,
I love you not because on purpose,
It's not what you think,
It's in my heart,
Because love really in my heart just for you.

I got this idea on the 07/11/09 at 12.06am, thinking about my man...really missing him so much and this poem just for him (LOVE>>>LOVE>>>LOVE>>>)

Sabahan & Sarawakian (Beauty of brain)

How if all MALAYSIAN are like this?

We've been independent for quite some time. It's about 52 years already.
And yet, some races still think that Malaysia belongs to them.

Mr X: oh, bukan sama ka?
Me: NO, NOT THE SAME....

UUM Hub Etnik Exam Question (taken during sem 2)
Antara yang berikut, kaum manakah yang menyambut Hari Gawai?
A. Iban
B. Bidayuh
C. Kelabit
D. Kadazan

Someone didn't do their homework thoroughly or maybe the question wasn't specific enough.

Hari Gawai is celebrated by Kaum Dayak Laut, which consists mainly of Iban and Bidayuh. and so the answer is A&B. I ticked both in my answer sheet. As my sign of protest towards the question. HAHAHA=)

Even though I'm Kadazan but I still know and understand others races quiet good enough...shame on all of the persons that still didn't even know that we belong in one nation with so many ethnics.

PROUD BEING KADAZAN!!!

Aizat-Pergi

This song really touching me. It's from the TALENTIME movie. Enjoy it!

Lyrics
Sayu terpisah hikayat indah
kini hanya tinggal sejarah
berhembus angin rindu
begitu nyamannya terhidu wangian kasihmu

hujan lebat mencurah kini
bagaikan tiada henti
kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
tak lagi kudengari
kau pergi.. pergi..

sepi tanpa kata terdiam dan kaku
tak daya kau kulupa apa pun kata mereka
biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia
