Dulu di kaki tangga
Kini di menara ...

B.E.R.A.N.I

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be  ~ Steve Maraboli

Keindahan Sawah Padi Di Kaki Gunung Jerai

Sebagai anak Kedah, saya sangat sinonim dengan terma sawah padi. Saya akui...saya tiada kepakaran, malahan  dunia kanak-kanak saya lebih kepada menikmati keindahan sawah padi di waktu petang semasa musim menuai. Kegembiraan bermain wau kertas sambil berlari di batas ban, juga menangkap anak-anak ikan di tali air. Kemudiannya, menikmati rojak buah dan laksa di bawah pokok keriang dot beserta sirap sejuk. 
Kini, setelah  lebih 25 tahun, saya kembali ke sini. Bersama Bonda dan keluarga kecil saya tanpa Ayahanda saya. Suasananya jauh berubah. Bukan sekadar motorsikal, malahan kereta juga sudah boleh dipandu menyusuri sawah padi yang luas terbentang. 
Ya Allah, saya rindukan zaman kanak-kanak saya. Zaman saya bersama siput gondang, bunga rumput jolok, anak ikan kemeras, buah keriang dot, pucuk paku rawan, biji janggus bakar, pokok kekabu 'berhantu'...Airmata saya menitis laju...
