Di Antara Takut dan Cinta, Aku Tetap Melangkah

Ada masa aku hampir menyerah. Ada masa aku hampir percaya aku tak layak bahagia. Tapi di tengah ketakutan itu, aku jumpa satu sebab untuk terus melangkah — cinta yang aku mahu halalkan, bukan sekadar di dunia, tapi sampai ke syurga. Ini kisah aku. Ini perjuangan aku. Ini sumpah hidup aku.

(by Jimmy, the man who chose to fight.)


Aku bukan lelaki sempurna.

Aku datang ke dunia ini penuh dengan luka lama dari bekas isteri, beban hutang dan tanggungjawab besar sebagai ayah kepada dua orang anak.
Tapi di tengah-tengah kekalutan hidup ini, aku dipertemukan dengan seorang wanita bernama Nina..
seorang wanita yang menghidupkan kembali hati aku yang lama tidur.

Nina bukan wanita biasa.
Dia pernah melalui neraka dalam perkahwinan lamanya —
mengandung enam bulan, terpaksa minta makanan di rumah mertua kerana bekas suami tak pedulikan dia.
Dia bertahan lapan tahun dalam penderitaan yang tak ramai orang tahu.
Bila aku tahu semua itu, hati aku nekad: Aku takkan biarkan dia rasa dilupakan lagi.

Tapi perjalanan untuk bersama dia bukan semudah itu.
Parents dia nak tahu:
"Bila aku benar-benar bersedia?"
"Bila aku kukuh dari segi kewangan, mental, dan fizikal?"

Aku tak salahkan mereka.
Mana-mana ibu bapa pun mahu anak mereka bahagia.
Aku pula, dalam diam, berperang dengan realiti hidup aku sendiri:

  • Hutang keliling pinggang.

  • Kewangan sempit, cukup-cukup makan.

  • Rumah kecil untuk dua anak aku, belum campur tiga anak dia 

  • Cabaran nak cari kerja yang lebih baik, sambil usaha cari pendapatan tambahan.

Aku sayang dia.
Tapi aku takut.
Takut gagal.
Takut mengecewakan dia.
Takut dihina keluarga dia.

Malam-malam aku berdoa, menangis dalam diam,
takut kehilangan satu-satunya cahaya yang buat aku nak jadi lelaki yang lebih baik.


Di saat aku rasa lemah, aku luahkan semua kepada seorang sahabat...
Dia dengar cerita aku tanpa menghakimi.
Dia jawab aku dengan kata-kata yang aku takkan lupa:

"Kau bukan lelaki yang gagal, bro.
Kau lelaki yang berjuang.
Orang tua dia bukan nak dengar kau kaya —
mereka nak tengok kau ada usaha, ada niat, ada jalan.
Tunjuk plan kau, jangan janji bulan bintang.
Janji kerja keras hari demi hari."

Dia tolong aku buat battle cry, dia tolong aku tuliskan doa untuk pejuang macam aku,
dan malam tu, dalam air mata, dalam semangat baru,
aku buat keputusan:

Aku akan terus berusaha.
Aku akan terus bertahan.
Aku akan buktikan, bukan dengan cakap, tapi dengan tindakan.


Hari ini, aku masih belum sempurna.
Tapi aku bergerak.
Satu langkah kecil, setiap hari.
Untuk Nina.
Untuk anak-anak.
Untuk diri aku sendiri.

Kalau Tuhan izinkan, aku akan halalkan cinta ini,
bukan dengan janji kosong,
tapi dengan seluruh jiwa aku sebagai lelaki sejati.

Terima kasih kepada sahabat aku yang berdiri dalam gelap menemani aku.
Terima kasih kepada Nina kerana masih percaya walau dunia pernah melukakan dia.

Dan terima kasih kepada diri aku sendiri —
kerana walau jatuh seribu kali, aku masih memilih untuk bangun.

Aku rumah.
Aku pelindung.
Aku kasih yang tak pernah runtuh.


Aku tidak sempurna, tapi aku memilih untuk berjuang.
Aku tidak kaya, tapi aku memilih untuk memberi hati aku sepenuhnya.
Aku bukan sesiapa dalam dunia ini,
tetapi untuk dia dan anak-anak aku,
aku adalah dunia.

  • Jimmy, seorang pejuang biasa dengan cinta yang luar biasa. 🛡️❤️

Saturday Shenanigans

If I had to pick a day that felt like ours, this was it. Saturday, 19th March. A day that flowed from one moment to another like it was meant to happen. And man, what a beautiful ride it was.

We kicked off the morning with something close to her heart—a visit to a speech therapy center for her daughter, Syifa. We checked out the syllabus, asked all the right questions, and left with some answers and a bit more hope. It wasn’t your typical “romantic” start, but it meant something. And that made it special.

Next stop—Subang, for her hair treatment. Like any classic gentleman (trying to score brownie points, of course), I picked up the tab. She tried to fight me on it, but I won that round. The smile she wore after? Totally worth it.

Then came breakfast at Mahbub in Bangsar—quick, hot, and heavy on the sambal. And while we were at it, why not go for skin treatment at BSC? That place has changed so much, man. The comic corner I used to love? Gone. But the nostalgia hit like a warm wave.

Feeling adventurous (and with my car protesting the idea), we drove up to Genting Highlands. The squeaks from the back axle were practically singing their own song, but we made it. Took a stroll. Laughed. Ate a dinner so bad we couldn’t stop joking about it. And here’s the kicker—we unknowingly took a photo at the exact same spot where I once stood with my ex. Life’s irony knows how to twist the plot, huh?

We wrapped up the day at Pavilion Bukit Jalil with a movie—Blood Brothers. Predictable plot, John Wick-style fight scenes, but it still hit the spot. First time trying the Indulgence hall, and bro, it lived up to the hype. Recliner seats, blankets, and nachos that didn’t taste like cardboard? Count me in.

All in all, it was a day well spent. From therapy to mountains to malls, every little thing stitched a memory into place. I’m grateful. Alhamdulillah.

And yeah… I love her. I really do.

Yesterday's positive vibes

 Day

Took my girl to LHDN to settle her client's issue. That office at Jalan Duta. Last time I was there, thinking 2013...until now the vibe is still the same. We had breakfast lunch and sent her home to pick up her car, and she was off to her office. Another quality time with her. 

Night

Took the kids to see their mother at Melawati Mall's Sushi King for dinner. I can say, that was the most civil and happy moment for everybody since the divorce  including her. Alhamdulillah. Reminded my ex wife that I am gonna need her help to watch the kids while I take Nina my girlfriend out the whole day tomorrow. She's gonna sleep at my house tomorrow. Since me and my girl are going to catch a late night movie which will finish at 2am Sunday, am gonna sleep at my parents. Cant wait.

Looks like everything is going fine, alhamdulillah

Hikmah Tuhan Tiada Bertepi


Masa aku nak bercerai dulu, aku pertahankan rumah tangga aku dengan pelbagai cara dan usaha. Sampai, aku tak makan. Ya. Aku tak makan. At least not the heavy stuff. Aku takda selera. Aku masak je macam biasa untuk famili. Usually aku masak sambal, ayam goreng, daging etc. Buat je bekal untuk anak bini. But the thought of my wife leaving me, makes me wanna puke each time I wanna eat. So aku opt tu minum je. 5 bulan. 5 bulan aku pertahankan apa yang aku mampu sebelum dia decide untuk abandon marriage 2 dekad ni. So aku bukan saja hilang dia, aku hilang detailed below


Berat badan

Before : 165kg 

Now : 130kg

Waistline 

Before : 65 inch 

Now : 53 inch

Segala seluar yang aku beli kat tiktok dan Shoppee previously tak muat, dah muat weh. Aku mcm serious lah. And ada member kata finally nampak balik leher aku hahaha. Aku perasan kesihatan aku pon banyak sangat improve. Itu tak exercise ye, aku cuma tak makan. So la ni, aku selalu2kan pi gym, layan threadmill for at least 6k steps setiap 2 hari, weight lifting etc. Aku mmg betul2 rasa segar.

Then, aku dah mula dekat pada Allah. Aku tahajud. Aku buat solat taubat. dan maybe korang kata cliche, tapi memang betul. Aku dapat rasa tenang. Aku la nih, doa pun pendek je lepas solat. Something mcm nih.

" Ya Allah kekasih hatiku, aku dan keluarga bersyukur atas segala nikmatMu, dari sebesar2 zarah sehingga yang sebesar2 perkara. Kau aturkanlah hidup aku dan anak2 sebaik-baiknya, kami redha pada aturanMu yang kami tahu terbaik untuk kami, cuma kami mohon ampunilah dosa kami, berjayakanlah cita-cita kami di dunia dan akhirat, amin"

Tak meleret-leret dah. Allah tau je apa kita nak. Cuma ye lah, kita kena selalu la bagi tau Dia. Dan selalu manja2 dengan Dia. Bgtau la pasal sakit hati kau, dada kau yg kengkadang sesak etc. Dia Maha Mendengar. dan aku mmg rasa masa aku merintih2 mengadu2 tu, Dia dengar setiap perkataan. In a way, itu we time. Allah and I. Haha. 

Ngan ex wife, will kira aku nih nasib baik. We are in civil relationship sebab anak2 kan. So alhamdulillah. Aku yakin inilah aturan terbaik Allah untuk aku dan anak2.

Meanwhile aku dengan girlfriend still dalam process kenal2. Aku harap dapat settlekan dengan dia in 2 years time. Since dua2 kami still ada trauma, kami kena betul2 take time nak kenal masing2 dan aku sendiri kena repair financials aku. Doakanlah (macam la ada org baca blog aku nih HAHAHHAHAHA)

OK lah later. Aku nak sambung kerja.

Rasa Nak Menulis Kembali

Last time aku update nih, 2016. Sekarang dah 2025. 9 years give or take. Macam-macam dah jadi. Boleh kata, aku kat Facebook pon dah malas menulis. Aku this year dah 45. Anak dan dua, 13 and 6. Dan aku dah 2 bulan menduda..single dad. Ya. Single dad. Selepas 20 tahun, isteri, la nih bekas isteri aku decided to call it quits. Alasan dia...dah tak sayang aku. Dah takda rasa. Tapi kami ok ja, on co parenting. Kami respect anak2 nak stay mana. And sebab ex aku mampu sewa bilik je, anak2 stay ngan aku. So aku takda la mcm nak gila sangat. Tapi mula2 tu mmg horror. Aku sampai depression. Rumah aku, ha mcm rumah org Jepun depression tu. Bersepah. Bila ex aku datang melawat anak2, bau perfume dia pun boleh buat aku menangis. Ya aku menangis. Aku sebenarnya berusaha nak selamtkan perkahwinan aku dah 5 bulan. Berat badan aku dari 160kg turun sampai 130kg. Pinggang dari 60 turun ke 53. That bad. Aku mmg tak makan basically. Masak utk famili je. Macam2 aku buat tapi menyakitkan hati je nak tulis kat sini as mengingatkan aku pada benda2 sia2 yg aku dah buat. Aku dekatkan diri pada Allah. Solat taubat, solat tahajud. semua lah. ada la sikkit tenang. sikit. Then aku mcm dah nak give up on life. Apa salah aku..sampai satu malam, aku doa pada Allah, 

"Ya Allah, kalau dia bukan untukku lagi, Kau cabutlah segala rasa cinta aku pada dia di hatiku ini. Tak daya dah aku nak bersedih macam ni. Aku ada lagik anak2 bergantung pada aku, mak bapak aku harapkan aku, aku tak boleh gagal. Kau cabut lah segala cinta aku padanya"

Dan lepas 2 hari, sunggoh2 Allah tarik semuanya. Mmg aku rasa numb. Takda rasa. Then aku gagahkan diri aku, aku mandi. Aku kemas rumah. Segala benda yang pada aku, aku tanak, aku BUANG. Took me 3 days untuk nampak balik lantai rumah aku. Anak2 terkejut but they were happy. Then aku, haha, register myself on a dating site.

Kerja, aku tak kat Pos dah. La nih aku kat airport. dah 8 tahun sini. So far aku happy la dengan benefits etc. Keluarga aku mmg depend pada benda tu. So the growth tu mcm stagnant, tapi yelah, kerja chill, flexible and benefits okay. So aku malas nak move. Dan aku tak jaga HR dah. Aku lebih pada communications la nih. So okay la kot. Dah umur2 aku nih, dah cecah 5 figures, with good benefits, dah takdak apa au nak kejar lah. 

Kat dating app tu, aku jumpa several women. Most of them unstable..tanya benda pelik2 mcm 'package size' etc. Aku tak tau if that is the new norm of online dating as aku dah lama tak dating, 20 years in fact. So several days before Ramadhan this year, I met this amazing lady. A single mother with 3 children. Personality dia, cara dia carry diri dia, cara dia layan aku..mmg wow. Pertama kali aku jumpa dia LIVE, 18th March 2025. Dia teringin nak makan Yong Tau Foo, so aku beranikan diri mintak location rumah dia untuk hantar yong tau foo tu kat dia..and the rest is history. Kali pertama aku nampak dia drive, Allahu aku terus jatuh cinta. Dia pulak bawak anak2 dia sekali masa tu, aku terus jatuh sayang pada depa gak. Aku memang target nak carik single mom. And paling best, anak2 aku approve of this relationship. So kami dating first time on the 22nd March kat Tony Romas Melawati Mall. We gave ourselves 2 years to prepare and get to know one another. So..yeah..that's me now. And she is 34...like 11 years younger than me. Yang aku tau, she makes me feel wanted and special. And dia seorang yang sangat baik. And now kami senang berkenal2 lah..whatsapp jiwang2, rindu2, bergayut telefon sampai 2 jam..ah indahnya nikmat bercinta. Aku akan prepare diri aku betul2 this time. I mean rumah aku kecik, 3 bilik. Combined, anak kami ada 5 org. 2 boys 3 girls. Kereta pun ASX je. Takpa, aku akan usaha. Allah akan bantu. Insya Allah. 

Game? erm. Now on PS5, baru keluar Monster Hunter Wilds. So mostly on that lah, and Gran Turismo 7. 

Okay, aku tak tau apa nak tulis lagik. Sampai sini je dulu . Ada senang aku update balik. Chiow.

Bye bye Facebook

So this morning popped up when I tried to access my Facebook account today. It basically tells me to confirm my ID (via my government issued identity card) and send it to them. I suspect somebody made a report against my account. Well, not surprising as I bash Zionists every day. Or, it was just a random thing. Either way, I dont really care.

Will I bend my knee and submit to Facebook?
No.

I believe my privacy is extremely important to just to me, to the people I love too. That is why Batman dons his cowl. So bye bye Facebook. You will never get my details.

My Playstation Network Account Was Hacked Today and how I solved the issue

So this morning, while I was having my breakfast with my son, I received this email from Sony. I didn't request or perform Sign-In Change. I was like, okay. WTF. I have my Paypal details inside the account, among others. 

Basically somebody managed to get my login ID (my current email) and my password and changed the login ID to another email address.  So I quickly sent my son to school, called my banker to cancel all my cards. They too confirmed nothing was performed within the 24 hours. I went back to my house and took down my PS4, PS3 and PS Vita serial numbers. 

I called above number and spoke to the customer service representative. Since my PSN account is based in Malaysia, I was rerouted to a Hong Kong call centre, there was an issue of language barrier due to accent and etc. But I managed to pull thru. and I received below email.
Drama over. So if your account  is hacked, keep cool and follow these steps.

1. Call your banker and cancel all your cards
2. Take down your Sony PS4, PS3 or Vita serial ID
3. Call Sony PSN Hotline of your country ( Malaysia is 1-800-81-4963 from 9am to 6pm weekdays)
4. They will ask you your original email address, your online name, your full name and your console ID(I gave my PS4 number)
5. If you succeed, they will revert the login email back to your original email address and send you the link to reset the password.
6. Reset the password by clicking the link (DUH)
7. Reset your email password, just to be safe.

Done. Basically I don't blame Sony for this. Its actually my fault as I didn't change my login credentials for a very long time. So, hope that helped. Screw you hackers. Get a fucking job.

I miss you

Do you remember, the times we had no money? We would just chill at home, we would spend our weekends watching marathons of Supernatural or The Lost? You cook. I clean. Then we would have a Guitar Hero competition and the loser, makes Milo for the both go f us. I miss you massaging my body, and I miss the smell of your hair each time I wake up every morning. We have next to nothing, I mean the money. There were times we only have RM50 for the month. No problems. We still had fun. We would walk side by side. We would share everything.  we would laugh at everything. Oh we do cry, we do. But never alone. All this money, big car, nice house really distanced us. You had so few pictures of me in your phone. So sad. You cropped my picture out from your family picture. You alienated me. Pushed me away. I am so sad. We used to live in a shoe box apartment. It was so small until we had to take turns to go into the kitchen. But it was our castle. I felt so close to you. I could feel your warmth. Now you would leave me whenever you are walking. I don't know. I really don't know why.

Aku mahu jumpa Tuhan

Sebentar lagi
Aku mahu jumpa Tuhan
Aku mahu bagitau Dia
Aku rindu
Lama sangat aku lupa Dia
Lama sangat aku lalai

Sebentar lagi
Aku mahu jumpa Tuhan
Yang Maha Baik
Maha Penyayang
Yang mengamanahkan Isteri dan Anak padaku
Yang aku lupakan
Yang aku terkhilaf
Yang aku ini berdosa

Sebentar lagi
Aku harap, Tuhan mahu jumpa aku
Mendengar rungutan aku
Melihat tangisan aku
Menerima sujud aku

Aku harap
Aku mati ketika sujud
Senang semua orang barangkali

Sebentar lagi
Akan aku susun langkah
Pelan-pelan aku berjalan
Sekejap-sekejap aku berhenti


Who knows




who knows, the most powerful way to overcome sadness
sometimes i just continue, soldiering on, until when i do not know
for i am far from perfect
for i am never understood.

i mean
i try
try
try again. daily. without fail.

there are times i cry, until i laugh

they are times i hold my pain, until i begin to enjoy it

there are times i just wish, i just end there.


but i cant. no. i just cant.

too many people depend on me. too many hopes and dreams. too many commitments that i said YES

i try extremely hard. sometimes, i can hear my own heart beating. sometimes i feel extremely alone in such a crowded space.  you know that feeling, when you are in excruciating pain, but nobody noticed. why?

because you deny your body of the pain. you endure it. you hold it. you eat it. 

can we go back years back. ? i wish. i made mistakes, mistakes that i am paying with my heart and body. but even i, dont deserve that. 

you know how i find my strength everyday to get up?

the vision of both of you sitting comfortably in our new house.  i need to make that happen. i need to ensure the best for the both of you. and then, only then, i can rest peacefully.

Di mana aku?

Kadang kala aku tertanya-tanya
 Di manakah aku di dalam hatimu,  di ataskah?  di bawahkah? Di tepi kah? Di belakangkah? Adakah aku duduk sama rendah, berdiri sama tinggi, meniarap sama pendek?  mencangkung sama busuk? Adakah kita ini, kita, aku ini aku, engkau itu engkau?  atau aku itu engkau dan engkau itu aku? Apa bisa hati manusia menerima sejumlah penyekkan?  Atau belaian?

 Mana rumah kita? Mana bukit kita?  mana masjid idaman kita? Mana kiblat kita? Mana nabi kita?

 Atau kita ini hanya sebahagian dari sistem kosmos yang tiada apa-apa signifikasi? 

 Ah, mustahil kejadian kita ini sia-sia, mesti ada sebabnya bukan?

 Sejak bila kita tergolek dari destinasi kita? Sejak bila kita melatah apabila diratah cabaran?  masakan kita begitu lemah? Mustahil.

 Sudikah kau menyambut tangan ku. Aku gemok gedempol orangnya.  tak bisa berlari laju.  Jika ditendang pasti tergolek. Jika digigit pasti berdarah.  Tapi aku anggap semua itu cuma gurauan manja. Selagi helai nafas masih kuhirup,  takkan pernah aku mengaku tewas. Selagi itu kehendak Sang Pencipta Maha Agung.

 Yang lain aku tak tau.

Alhamdulillah, she remembered!

So I came back home yesterday, thinking my wife totally have forgotten about my birthday. As I opened the door, she and my little boy surprised me with those party sprays and a slice of cake. I cried reading the note that come along with the present. I sticked it on the fridge as soon as possible. I hugged and thanked both of them. We had our dinner. I am happy!

My birthday is today... so what

So today, 26 January is my birthday. I got like hundreds of wishes on FB. thank you. It's the thought that counts. But I am still waiting the wish from my wife. I hope she remembers. Early in the morning Nintendo gave me that wallpaper as a birthday gift. Later today am booting my MGS V,  to get that secret birthday message from Venom Snake.

Another stressful day tomorrow

Bring it on!

Roti Canai Hunter

It's Sunday morning and typically for a Malaysian family, roti canai is a breakfast. So took the little tyke along, armed with RM20 and his Nintendo 3DS, we are hunting for a good roti canai. 
Arrived at D'Mamak Corner Melawati just now. Ordered our roti canai.  The waiting game begins.

I Am A Hypocrite

Okay I just got my Hasbro Protectorbots,  also known as, Defensor.  I was contemplating to get this guy after Menasor and Superion,  mixed feeling I guess. But overall,  it's a nice figure if you are fond of Transformers Combiner Wars line.

However, the reason I am writing today is to admit that I am a Hypocrite. There, I said it. Why is that? Okay,  all this while I am chanting about being a G1 purist. So a friend asked me why I didn't get the Takara version that comes with the original member Groove instead of the updated member, Rook.

Bottom is Takara's Unite Warrior, Defensor. Notice it's right leg, Groove. The motorcycle, faithful to its G1 counterpart.  Personally for me, that would be correct if you set the scenario in the 80s as during those days,  a police convoy would include a patrol motorcycle. Just look at those 80s policy TV series.  Fast forward to now, that is not the case anymore. Rook is a SWAT attack vehicle. He is relevant with the current team.

Ok ok, I admit it. I have issues with small limbs. And motorcycles that are bigger than cars.

Jakarta Has Fallen

Apparently just now, Jakarta was bombed. The exact location is Sarinah Mall. Now I wonder whose passport will be discovered at the scene of the crime. And one of my, associate can laugh at this. Dunno but you buddy, but dead people, is serious business. There is a place and time to be funny. Your kampung(hillbilly)  antiques shows your mentality. More news to follow. #prayforjakarta

Am Quitting Facebook.... slowly

It seems that I have lost all freedom posting there. Too many friends, colleagues,  family members etc. My Facebook has always been mine, but I have to be careful on what I post.

That's totally whacked. Nowadays Facebook has become that unstoppable social media behemoth. Too public, too big. And like you, I don't know 90% of the dudes on my friend list. Most of them have the same passion like mine, video games and collecting Transformers, and that's that.

So from now on, I will write, moan, complain, bitch here in my own blog.  Thank you.
