My first attempt in writing =)

Written on Monday, 5th Nov 2007.

This is my first attempt in realizing the dream that I have when I was young, that is to write a book called ‘Maryam, Maryam..Oh Maryam’. I did not actually quite remember when I said this but it was three and a half years ago that Mama told me about this. That was when I joined the foundation years of my course- B.Ed TESL.

I do not know how this ‘Maryam, Maryam..Oh Maryam’ (MMM) is going to be as I have never given a serious thought about it. But, lately, I do realize that I’ve been actively involve in the activity of writing…no I’ll call it typing (as I use laptop). I’ve been trying very hard to improve on my writing skills as I know writing is a powerful way of disseminating an idea or thought. Nevertheless, one should have the skill. I’ve come to realize ever since before that I’m lack of that skill (not that I’m good in speaking neither). So, I’ve been trying my best to improve myself by reading books, magazines and any sort of reading materials. I would read and analyze the sentence structure, look for ‘bombastic’ (that’s what they call it) words, search for unfamiliar phrase and sentences and even try to understand ambiguous ideas that a writer forwarded.

Writing is not like what many people assume. It needs one to have the passion as to have great ideas and originality. Not just that, one need to know the type of art that it to produce and also the audience. If it is going to be a fiction, the writer has to know the art of ‘seducing’ his writer in grasping their attention. I would say I’m way out of the path of having the skill, but I’ll try. I will learn and later grasp my reader’s attention that they’ll be craving for my stories.

Since this is only the introduction of my MMM, I’m in searching for the first story to write about. Most probably MMM is going to be something about me. Well, of course! What else can I write about? My stories may not be so interesting for others to read but I’m sure they will be good enough for me to see my progress in learning the art of writing and compiling the stories of my life.

Bila nak kawen?

"Bila nak kawen?" "Bila nak kenduri?" These are the regular questions for me lately. ------------ The above 3 lines were written back in Sept 2015. How time flies. Its May 2018. Single. The questions remain the same. However, through out time people have learnt that jodoh, ajal-maut and rezeki are secrets that only Allah knows. Pray. Pray harder. Note: Back tapping my keyboard.

Challenge 1- La Taghdab

B eing a woman is not easy. Moods at all time controls us where, perhaps, at the beginning of the month, we may be the most happiest person in the world, as if “ the world is mine”. Then comes the next week, the world suddenly feels like falling apart- sadness surrounds us. Mood changes, in a normal person, are caused by several reasons. It ranges from environmental to biological and even chemical factors. For instances, drained after 12 hours of working could cause someone to irritate over a small problem such as “ Why do I have to face the traffic jam?” (when the fact is- the route he/she takes is at all time congested during that hour). Research also shown that chemical imbalance in the body such as dopamine, serotonin and others are also contributing factors to mood swing (read from an arti cle). In many of the emotional states, I believe ANGER is the most disastrous state of feeling that every one of us should have in control. One second of anger could change the ...
