Beratnya Beban Seorang Manusia.

Bila kita berbicara mengenai hati dan perasaan, seberat mana pun hati kita berusaha dan berupaya untuk perah segalanya demi tuhan yang satu - nafsu dan perasaan sentiasa menghantui sebagai seorang manusia biasa. Manusia dikurniakan hati dan perasaan. Sentiasa berfikir, sentiasa merasai. Kita terasa, kita terusik, kita terhampar dengan pelbagai fikiran yang datang dari kisah dan pengalaman silam, dari environment kita, dari orang-orang di sekeliling kita. Setiap manusia punya aura yang mampu tersebar dan mempengaruhi orang lain. Antara faktor yang meninggikan our influence towards other people are: Pengalaman, Usia, dan Status.

Pengalaman:

Pengalaman adalah bersifat personal. Sentiasa kerana manusia punya sepasang mata, fikiran dan perasaan yang istimewa, khas untuk dirinya sendiri. Apa ynag dimata saya mungkin berlainan di mata anda. Saya lihat dia penuh rasa intim kerana saya rasa cinta, kamu mungkin lihat dia dengan rasa benci kerasa kamu rasa keburukan. Namun manusia juga bersifat assabiyah, berkumpulan dan mudah untuk berkongsi perasaan yang mutual dan saksama. Semakin tinggi kita rasa pengalaman seseorang itu, naturally kita rasa hormat pada dia. Semakin hormat, semakin kita mempercayai diri empunya pengalaman. Namun selagi bernama manusia, selagi itu ada yang tamak, ada yang mahukan kuasa dan perhatian. Pengalaman dijadikan alat untuk menagih hormat, menagih perhatian kepada mereka yang menagih pengalaman. Bagaimana para motivators promote program mereka? Melalui pengalaman. Kita lihat sendiri visual promotion di bawah:

Founder of Marketing Power Concept. No. 1 Success Coach in Malaysia. These are all selling his pengalaman and success. How many of the participants actually asked what is Marketing Power Concept and what is No.1 Success Coach in Malaysia? Run a little research but we can't really find what this really means. But it creates confident feelings among people. 

Selling pengalaman works. That's why most motivational talks work. But the most important thing in believing pengalaman is: Pengalaman mestilah dengan integriti dan how close is the pengalaman with your life stories, The closer is gets the better the experience that you will receive listening to these people. But here's the catch; your life and the 'Pengalaman Guy' life is different and will never be the same. We can take the best lesson from him, but the way you apply these lessons in your life are based on your current life situations. 

To be continued for the other 2 factors;Usia dan Status.

The Thousand Caves (Mount Mulu & Mount Api)

Seribu kamar menanti.

Buat mereka yang abadikan kegelapan.

Dari kiri kanan Gunung Api,

Dari atas bawah Gunung Mulu,

Buat mereka yang ingin lari dari cahaya,

Melangkah ke seribu kamar Mulu.

Dan indahnya kegelapan kau saksi.

Sebelum Segalanya Hilang

Laungkan kata semangat kerana cinta yang hangat,
Apabila kisah kita hanya tinggal berita,
Aku tinggalkan segala-galanya demi cinta.

Kerana aku tahu aku tidak sempurna ilmu,
Tidak sempurna serba segalanya,
Hanya membawa hati yang hilang.

Yang sesat membawa rindu yang malang,
Indah sekejap tapi sakit selamanya.

Selamanya seperti tergantungnya nyawa,
Antara Syurga dan Neraka.

Dimana kamu?
Aku disini, berdiri mencari cahaya.
Di atas puncak, aku terus sesat.

Dimana kamu?
Aku masih disini, menanti.
Kerana aku tahu aku ikhlas.

Dimana kamu?
Sudah terlambat, sayang.
Kerana aku hilang selamanya.

Dimana kamu?
........................

Dimana?

Hymm.

Corriendo es Spiritu

After finishing the 30km Merapoh Forest Run 2015 for Male Open Category.

I started running 3 year ago (almost), and I never really stop since then.
I remember my first run -  on the road heading to the Great Eastern Mall from my house. I never got comfortable running in a park or on a treadmill in a gym - mainly because of there are too much people and activities flocking into those places. Other than photography and writing (and annoy my girlfriend), I do not have other hobbies back then. In the spirit of trying new things, I decided to run. Putting on my training shoes, walk to the front gate, and off I go, heading towards Ampang through Jalan Ampang, from Jelatek. I do not do much research on how to run the right way, so the moment my feet hit the tarmac, pain strikes right to my legs, knees, hip and eventually causing exhaustion to my body.  But there was a strange feeling that I felt, the feeling that made me want to run again. The feeling as if your body are communicating with you and the constant battle that you feel between your mind and your body. I ran 1.5km that day before i hit the wall.

Running was part of my life since then. I continue running and try my best to run faster and longer. My running passion has evolved when I started to hike on mountains and hills.

"The Mountains are calling and I must go."  One of the reasons why I wake up so early in the morning on weekends and holidays - to run on a hill or a mountain. Why embrace the pain when you can just stay at home, or just chill in a mall or coffee shops? The answer is easy - to feel and remind myself to be human again.

3 years ago, my weight was 79 kilograms. After 3 years of running, hiking, climbing and all sorts of outdoor activities and adventures, I stand on the ground with a weight of 65 kilograms. Never in my life I have inflicted pain (indirectly) to myself to discover the limit of my body.

One thing for sure Insyaallah, I will continue running and embrace adventures. To feel human, in this disastrous 'civilized' world.

In the past 3 years, I have changed, or more like evolved, into this.

Next post will be the running story.

4 life changing moments for me:

1. You
2. Running
3. Hiking
4. Climbing

Embracing adventures (including moment number 1) changed my life forever.

Nature is amazing, our body is amazing, love...is amazing. That's what I've learned from all those 4 moments.

Travel more. Embrace Adventures.

Puisi Kasar untuk Pemimpin Kasar.

Kau perbodohkan rakyat,
Dengan kebodohan sendiri,
Tunggu sampai kau jadi mayat,
Tengok mana kau nak lari.

Bila kau ingat kau raja,
Kau lupa atas kau tuhan,
Kau berlagak bersahaja,
Tapi tidur kau keresahan.

Jika semua runtuh,
Kau tunggu kami cari,
Walau daun hijau sudah luruh,
Kau kami gantung sampai mati.

Aku angkat jasad kerasmu,
Pelukmu erat dalam dakapanku,
Mata hitammu merenung aku,
Air mataku jatuh ke badanmu.

Kecewa kerana tidak bersamamu,
Ketika kau dalam diam menahan sakit,
Ketika aku tidak mampu melihat,
Saat mengharap kau berlari ke arahku.

Habis hatiku luluh,
Pelukmu erat dalam tanganku,
Aku berjalan ke arah pohon buluh,
Dimana ke tanah aku lepaskanmu.

Dalam dakapan PencintaMu, sayang.
Lenalah kau dalam ciuman PencintaMu, sayang.
Bahagialah kau dalam pelukan Malaikat, sayang.
Kerana tangan aku tidak mampu lagi mengusapmu.
