Manchester United

I dun think I've ever written an entry about them United. They drew Everton last night, conceding 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the match. As much as I tried to be all positive about the draw, the frustration is eating me up inside. I hate Manchester United. I hate when I get my hopes up so high only to see it crash 30 minutes later.

The Morning Prayer

I was awaken by my brother this morning. He was praying in my room and I found it odd that he's up earlier than me. I looked at my watch and it was 5.50am. Found out he was working today. It's not a good feeling to see him up so early to work. No one forced him nor his brother to work, so I take comfort in this. My baby brothers have both grown up.

alhamdulillahil ladzi ahyana ba’da ma amatana wailaihin nusyur
Segala puji bagi Allah yang menghidupkan aku kembali setelah mematikan aku dan kepada Allah akan bangkit.

I also thanked Him for watching over us all this while. I got up, washed up, and prayed.

Little things I remember...

I was checking the mail at the mail box and saw a neighbor of mine - a friendly chinese uncle. A couple of years back, his wife bought us a tub of Meadow Gold's Cookies and Cream ice cream for no apparent reason. And the ice cream turned out to be heavenly. For some reason, that little act of giving struck me. Being the rational person that I am, I just couldn't see why she'd buy us ice cream. But I'm touched nonetheless.

That little act of kindness has taught me that kindness knows no boundaries and a simple seemingly insignificant act can leave a huge and lasting impression. I want to be someone like that. All it takes is a tub of icecream.

Lest I forget.

The Dreamer

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
