Ever heard this word before? RECIPROCATE...
It' such an alien word to many but quite familiar to me. In short, it means GIVING BACK! Why is it so difficult to do it? I don't have the answer to that question...
I believe in karma--What goes around will surely comes around buddy! I believe in being good to others. I believe in respecting others regardless what they do for a living - as long as it's halal, that person deserves respect and I believe in giving...in sharing...And when I give, I don't expect that particular person whom receive my gift will reciprocate...deep in my heart, I believe some day, some where, there will be someone sent from above, comes along and help me when I'm in need :) Believe me, it has happened to me several times :)
Allah has never failed me--even to the very last minute. Therefore, I must reciprocate to the Almighty...
But the questions are...What if the people closest to you, whom you care and love so much treat u bad? What if they hurt your feeling? What if they 'reciprocate' your TLC with shit? What would you do? - Tough questions eh?
It might look tough but it is all up to you to look at it...Do you choose to be optimist or pessimist? I choose to be optimist if that happens to me, because I believe it is just a test from the Almighty and time will heal (What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger)
All in all, WHAT YOU GIVE YOU'LL GET BACK, therefore, don't just TAKE, GIVE a little! Learn to reciprocate!

Togetherness...
Huh... huh! Have to keep on blogging religiously!
Just recovered from illness...my hubby took me to my mom's and later to his mom's...We left Rayyan (our eldest son) at my mom's after breaking the fast there with Harith, Abang Ngah and the rest...Then, off to his mom's place, where we gather with that side of family...I think it's wonderful to be blessed - with two loving families...
Rayyan chose to stay the night at my mom's and Razin (our second son) chose to spend the weekend at my mother-in-law's...leaving Rizqin (youngest son) alone with us tonight...
The kids had fun - played fire cracker, met their uncles and aunts, being spoil by their grandparents, etc. Now that it's the local fruits season, everything (fruits) around my mom's place are riping tremendously - the rambutans, durians, cempedak, mangosteen and what not...So I took some to my mother-in-law's for everybody to enjoy...
My mother seems very happy lately, now that my Abang Ngah comes home more often - it's the 'Mother-n-Son' bonding thingy...With Harith, Raafiee and Abang Ngah around, my routine is enlightened by 90% as compared to the last Ramadhan when my mom was bed ridden...
It's been two years since my dear father passed away and I must say that it is the first time ever since, I am able to see my mom happy again--eating well, smiling, laughing but there was never a day she failed to mention about my late father.
It really eats me up inside each time she talks about my father...A love so sincere and dear...There was a day when I tried to cheer my mom with some oldies numbers and when the song "I Did It My Way" played, she said "Oh, Ayah suka lagu ni, Ayah punya favorite"...and everyone became suddenly quiet --lost in their own thoughts about Ayah / Aki...
The point is, TOGETHERNESS is a therapy for those with broken wings...There is a point in your life some day (if not now), you'll find that nothing else matters other than 'togetherness'...It really feels good when we can be together with the people we love - parents, spouse, siblings, friends (true friends) and team members...To me, team members are crucial to get things done (this refers to the English Unit-you know who you are)...
We have to live in serenity to be happy and that serenity is TOGETHERNESS...it's not the food that we eat, it's not the house we live in, it's not the car we drive, it's not the clothes we wear but it's the sense of belonging, the love, the unity and everything that comes along with it that keep us going...
I am blessed to be placed here with my love ones and these include Allah, Rasulullah pbuh, my parents, my family, my friends, my children (at home and in college)...Alhamdulillah...

My Promise...
This is it! Some time ago I promised myself to begin a blog...most of my friends are hyper-active bloggers and I'm kinda behind time. So many things to write, donno what to begin with...
Am not in the pink of health! I should get some rest and begin my new day with some physical exercises. Consulted my doctor this morning and she gave me 2 days' medical leave...But I miss going to my college--my workplace--The place where I put all my will to help people (my pupils) and gain self satisfaction from.
I believe I should begin this blog with a happy story. Last fortnight, one of my students won an English Elocution Contest...I chose him from one of my classes to represent the college and he won the second place. Not bad at all. He used to be one with no hobby and no ambition - I gave him a pretty long talk (nag) on the importance of having a goal, pushed him a little and tried to instill his confidence by giving him that opportunity. I don't believe I did so much as to make him a winner but he won! And I guess, I can't help but to say "Hey! I must have done something right!" (smile)
Another happy story is the enrolment of my new colleagues - Yan, Fifi and Hakiman. I hope to see more happy things ahead of me...After all, YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE and I believe my best time is ahead of me...See ya!
