'Black and white' itu sebenarnya 'penuh warna'

 Teks: Rozanah Zakaria

Dulu, my wardrobe penuh warna, macam-macam kaler ada. Tapi, that was in the past. Now still ada those kaler-kaler, but I guess I'm more towards Black & White, tapi honestly especially black outfit la, coz actully I don't fel so secured dengan white, haha!

Maybe age factor, I'm not sure. Tapi satu hal yang aku yakin, as we age, prioriti kita menjurus kepada hal-hal yang lebih praktikal dan pantas, mungkin logik ini tak benar untuk semua orang, tapi untuk aku, ya. I'm a practical person, so I guess bila cara pemikiran kita berubah, gaya hidup kita juga akan dipengaruhi 'secara besar-besaran' olehnya.

So, pendapat aku yang dulu warna hitam atau yang seangkatan dengannya tu 'bosan' atau 'less colour', sekarang is no more applicable to me. I feel more secured with black outfit or things, sebab ia mengurangkan pening kepala untuk memilih. Well, at least itu apa yang aku rasa. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi hidup kita ini sebenarnya. Cuma satu hal yang perlu kita tahu, prioriti bagi setiap kita adalah berbeza, jai, sentiasalah ingat untuk hanya jadi diri sendiri, bukan orang lain. Kerna sebaik mana orang atau seburuk mana kita fikir tentang diri kita sendiri, kita takkan pernah mampu lari dari diri sendiri.

Akhir kata, love yourself first in whatever you do!

Lot's of luv from me!

Eid Mubarak.

One step at at a time, please!

My feeling right now?

Like going to a secluded place, staying there alone till I feel it's time to make a comeback. Reason be? Too many things in hand (it's regarding resuming work that is to come next week) that I start to feel nausea at the idea of coming home from my holiday in Shanghai two days back.

It's the words of my daughters as well, echoed in my ears, saying that she didn't want to go home and to stay holidaying. Deep inside my heart, I felt that too, in fact, still fell it now, two days later.

Coming back to my beloved Malaysia is the most precious moment indeed. Yet, it's kind of in dilemma in me, when half of me yearning to stay holidaying for as long as I could, while the other part of me terribly missed everything Malaysia!

Now, still 'holidaying', or I'd rather call it staycation, since I just really 'lepaking' at home, doing only the simplest of chores to keep my survival, haha!

I'm now peeking through blogs and sites, for clues and inspiration (or shall I call it motivation?) for my next vacation in November. It's the only thing right now, I believe, that will keep me energized until mid November. Till then, tada!

Bye.

Wassalam.

A studio-like series of pics taken by my lecturer cum photographer cum wedding planner brother, Shukri Zakaria. Kudos my brother. Although he is not in the pic, his looks resemble Shukor, his twin brother, clad in purple baju melayu.

Standing yet trying hard not to fall

It's been quite sometime I didn't write. So 'busy' with life I guess...huh! Last two weeks I attended a course Training of Trainers. Huhu, never in my dream I would be involved in this, I mean, at this so early stage, at this so-called 'fast track'. I believe there's always something good Allah wanna gv us behind anything that happenned...this evenet is not excluded, so I believe. Now I start to think again, where am I actually 'going' in my life-well, I mean worldly. Referring to the course I attended in the Flamingo, Bt Ferringghi, Penang: I was quite clear that that was what I wanted from the start, I mean not being an ordinary teacher, yet I don't wanna be too ambitious as to apply for the what people call GC...Guru Cemerlang? or...it could be anything with that initial...huhu. Ok, back to the Flamingo (where foods were really heaven- in term of quantity n quality!Mouth-watering), what I thought I wanted was to become a certified trained trainer for teachers. Seemed so ambitious i guess when I started thinking about that yet the thought of it filled my heart with flowers and fragrances... ;). And, one more this, something surprising that I discovered in the course (during one of the many taxing yet happening sessions conducted) about myself, I really am a Spatial person (well, juz in case u hv no idea 'bout 'tis, this is one of the Multiple Intelligences from Howard Gardner)! And that means I am one of those picture-inclined people. Hm, what made it so surprising because all this while I've been thinking that there's the 'photographer' in me more that I am a teacher. Haha, got what I mean? Here are some evidences that reveal the 'photographer' in me I believe. Well, one evidence first, will download more... ;)
