L I V E STRONG (A world without cancer)

If you were given a chance to be a hero one day, would you be the hero?

If you were the determinant factor in winning a war, would you stand up for it?

If you were to save your loved ones, would you go all out for it?


I just came across this website (LIVESTRONG) that somehow moved me to do my part for this fight. Kindly join me by visiting it and also click on the link provided below to make a stand for ourselves.

Attached is a copy of my message from a special dedicated site:

"I just dedicated a page to my father at LIVESTRONG Action.

This page is a part of the world's largest dedication book that LIVESTRONG Action will use to pressure world leaders to do more to fight cancer. Can you add your name to my dedication page? It'll only take a second, and you can help me reach my target of 25 dedications. Please click here, it only takes a second:

Right now, Lance Armstrong is dedicating his ride in the Tour de France to the fight against cancer. And after the race, he'll send this dedication book - with your signature - to world leaders and pressure them to make cancer a priority in their own countries. It's our best chance to push for better treatment, more funding for cancer research and access to care for everyone around the world.

But if people like us don't stand up, these leaders won't pay attention."

Thank you for your support. God bless.

Re-Tired


I am glad. Unfortunately, it's not about retired or retiring either.

Just plain tired... again. Hence, re-tired.

Have been doing preparation for the I M U Kampung Angkat program that somehow frustration sets in yet at the same time having burning spirit (semangat berkobar-kobar) to go all out for a successful event.

Though there were hiccups here and there, we manage put up a better than average show. Or anyone who beg to differ and would like to give their comment? May be good? Or even excellent?

Being in charged of IT and promotion team, I was a little over ambitious to keep the team as tiny as possible. Thankfully, all team members were committed in getting work done albeit a little exhaustive.

Not forgetting, the members of logistic team have been particularly helpful during preparation on the 2 event days. Despite being lag behind the scheduled time in preparatory work, each rushed to move the equipments and stuffs in place. This enable us to complete the set up just in time for a quick trial run prior to actual running of all programs.

Looking forward to a good rest and reflecting all the wonderful things that occurred. Once again, my sincere thanks to all parties involved. May peace and rest be with all of you. :)

BLANK

Every year, every one gets to celebrate his or her birthday. It may be grand. It may be meaningful. It may be one of its kind. But nobody knows the true feelings except one self.

This year, I am surrounded by hard times. He whom I pray for is not living in conditions I had desire for his good. Friends and colleagues are as good as strangers, making assumptions and judgement when support could have been better put into place.

As I stood before the dividing road, I turned back to realize one thing: blank. This year on 5 10, I felt sorrow much more than any other preceding years. I knew, it is a test but what gives everyone the right to test me in such.

Deep within, I thank both my housemates and LLL for the small celebration. Those messages received too touched and lifted me for a little while especially that of family and relatives.

Was the past really a blank? I do not know. All I know is that even if my sight was blinded, I have to carry on. My friend. Spare me a judgement and you'll know what the truth is. Spare me an assumption and you'll see a different picture.

Smile

Ever wonder...
What make you smile?
Was there a reason?
Or you make others smile?

For some times now, I am still struggling. Where was the cheerful light that used to be burning right within? Right now, right here, I am weak on my knees.
