Recipe For Happiness

Just now, my dearest friend text me to share this:

Recipe For Happiness

Take equal parts of faith and courage, mix well with a sense of humor, sprinkle with a few tears, and add a helping of kindness for others. Bake in a good natured oven, and dust with laughter. Scape away any self indulgence that is apparent, and serve with generous helpings.

Yours faithfully,

Tragedy: 14th of May 2011

Salam. On 14th of May 2011, I was planning to try to bake a cake, myself. So, I had looked up on the internet, to find a recipe.

What does it take to turn a good stay into a great one? For many business travellers, the answer isn’t grand lobbies, luxurious bedsheets, or buffet breakfasts. It’s the little things—the seamless service, the small courtesies, and above all, the peace of mind that everything has been thoughtfully handled. But what happens when even the basics fail? Recently, I had the chance to travel for work and stayed at a well-rated hotel, part of a professional arrangement involving multiple rooms. While the setting was promising, my experience reminded me how crucial it is for hospitality providers to walk the talk—especially in an industry that thrives on trust, service, and efficiency. Where It Started: The Missing Essentials: After a long drive and a busy day, all I hoped for was a calm check-in and a room stocked with basic necessities. To my surprise, the room was missing even bottled drinking water. I had to request it—twice. The staff eventually complied, but not without maki...

You know what, the few days before the driving-test day, I was very afraid, that I hardly ate. I lost my appetite. And I was having butterflies in my stomach. But, alhamdulillah, it was all went through as smooth as silk. Just wanna let you guys know, I went to the driving-school at 8.00 a.m., and my name was announced at about 10.45 a.m.. Fuuhh, it was a really long wait. And I started my driving-test at nearly 1.00 p.m.. I was the 179th driving-test candidates. While I was waiting for my turn, I watched the other candidates doing their driving-test. Some had passed it, and some had failed. While I was watching them, my heart beat so fast. I was very afraid, and it worried me so much. At about 1.00pm, my number was announced. And I had to start my driving-test now. The part that I was afraid so much is the mendaki bukit part. I ha...
