Terfaktab

              A woman sat forlornly in the train. Nobody sat on her right seat. Neither the left. She took up one and a half seat. Nobody was looking at her anyway. Nobody cared.             She looked like she shed tears before she hopped on the train. Her chubby face turned red. Her eye bags swelled. But nobody saw it. Nobody cared.             She took out her hand phone. She was seen reading a text. Then, she cried again. Her tears dropped on the floor of the train as she covered her face with her hands. The coach she boarded was half full. No one noticed her crying. Nobody cared.             She calmed herself down. She was able to put herself together. The woman looked out of the window. Her mind was running wild. She thought that she could not face it anymore. She had had en...

Everybody makes mistakes. No one is spared. Making mistakes is part of life. We make mistakes and we learn form it. That's is how life should be. But we can't be making the same mistakes again and again. That's is stupidity. Start to learn from it. And avoid repeating it. Yes, talking is easy. Sometimes, we never realize it was a mistake until it was too late, or someone highlighted it to us. Being in a relationship is a life challenge. We are prone to makes mistakes. Be it small or huge mistakes that could put the relationship in jeopardy. Some mistakes are forgiveable but certain mistakes would just be too hard to forgive. The core of maintaining a stable relationship is trust. When trust is broken, that is the biggest mistake one could make. When it happen, it depends on both parties to talk it through. The one who's hurt may forgive, but the relationship may end there. Being in pre-marital relationship is a risk. You should know it. You'll be influenced by t...

Assalamulaikum warohmatullah.    All of us have friends. But not all of us have true friends. True friends are rare. They are special breed. They are hard to come by. True friends are exclusive species created by God. True friends aren't those things money can buy. They are so rare so the number of them usually don't exceed the number of fingers on a single hand. In every 1000 friends we have, there might be only one or two. Or none at all.    Friends are presents. But true friends are God's gifts. They are rewarded to us. True friends are always there for you when you need them. They are even with you at times of when you don't need them. Because they know they are needed. Sometimes, true friends already knew what you didn't even tell them. Because they knew you so well. However, distance may kept them apart. But true friendship never separate them apart. True friends are friends who always listen and understand. They never punish, they never judge. True friend...

Assalamualaikum warohmatullah. One thing for sure, when it comes to love, none of us is an expert. Who doesn't suffer heartbreak ? Who doesn't change partners? Who doesn't taste being single ? We are all the same. We love, we break, we love again and we break again. That's normal. This cycle matures us, teaches us. So, we know the perks of being in a relationship. Courtesy of  google.com So, normally guys often forget small things. Small things that women take note, women care. Small things like, what does she like to wear, the kind of toilet she prefers, does she prefer bawal more than pashmina, does she prefer you to wear casual shirt or simple T-shirt, the date both of you first met, the date both of you first ate IKEA meatballs, the date both of you had first, second, third and fourteenth quarrel, and all the dates that both of you have been doing since day 1 and the list goes on and on. For most men, what's the big deal between pashmina or bawal. In hi...

*credits to google.com and Calvin and Hobbes' creator.   No matter you are or you are not (or already not) in a relationship, that does not mean you should not give a care about how to handle conflicts in relationship. If you’re single, you will face conflicts when you are in a relationship, either engaged or married. If you are, already in a relationship, right now, I bet you probably have dealt with countless of conflicts. Be it over where or what to eat to even serious conflict that threatens your relationship. The art of saving a relationship is how you deal wisely with conflict(s).                 Conflicts are inevitable. It is unavoidable. You don’t have to be in a relationship to have a conflict. You can also have conflict with yourself. Conflict is a problem, rather a state of uncertainties. You are undecided of what you want or what you really want and what you actually need. For exam...

Let us talk about love.  Love is like a rose with thorns (whatever colour the rose is).  It is beautiful yet it can hurt.  Love hurts, love also heals.  To love is to give commitment.  To love is to build trust. To love is to sacrifice. To love is to be responsible. To love is to be dependable. To love is to be flexible. To love is to be respectable. Love means sharing, love means caring. Love is accepting, love is understanding. Love is when you pay attention to the smallest of things. Love is when you care for everything. Love is when you (force to) like what she/he likes. Love is when you'll be there when she/he needs you. Love is when you offer your shoulder to cry on to. Love is when you lend you ears to listen to her/his issues. Love is when you're my doctor when I'm sick. Love is when you're my BFF whenever I need. Love is when you're the one I'd hope to die with. Love is when I'm the ...

( all deserved credits go to Kevin Spear )  Everyone makes mistakes. Some people repeat the mistakes. You and me, we make mistakes. Mistakes mature us, when we learn not to repeat.  At this very moment, you may be the dumped , or the one who dumped . Or even both. Either which, it could be one of the biggest mistakes of your life, to have had a fated relationship. The dumped is usually not very keen to forgive, forget and move on. They just can't. Forgiving is harder than the rocks from Mars .  Yes, your past may be bitter. But the present you're living should be sweet and better. To successfully move on is to forgive (even unwillingly) . It helps to cure the bitterness in your heart. You and me, neither of us is as perfect as any of Allah's Messengers. You may find it's hard at times to forgive, forget, and move on. Well, that just shows you're human anyway. Human with bitterly-torn heart.  Give yourself some time, but you can't have all the ti...

 Distance, is a thorn in this kind of relationship. It could also be a sweetener, depends on certain factors. Long distance relationship (LDR) is only for the tough: those who can turn the hurt of missing each other into a sweet feeling.  The core of a successful LDR is trust. However, trust is like glass, it’s fragile. When you choose to have LDR, you don’t only give your heart, but trust comes in as well. However, trusting each other isn’t a license to flirt around or having scandal(s).  Trusting each other comes with respect. Even though he/she doesn’t see you, you still have to respect the relationship. That’s the art of any relationship; respect.   Long distance relationship teaches you the sweetness of missing each other . As much as missing each other is sweet, it hurts too in distance. The point of being in a relationship is to be with each other, through rain or shine, blizzard or hurricane, at all time. Therefore, when you are separated ...

[ WARNING: Never attempt this at home or anywhere. We are not responsible for any harm caused or stupidity. ]   P eople suffer heartbreak, if not everyday, once in a lifetime. People do crazy and ridiculous things due to heartbreak. Some made it in the news and some did not. Heartbreak is one of the most damnest feeling in the world and that's why it can lead us to road of damnation .   Overcoming heartbreak isn't as easy as 2 minus 1. It is supposed to be hard in order for you to be tough. Some of us, who might have had the lowest point in life could probably have thought/attempted such stupid things as suicidal. Yes, you were hopeless then, even you deemed Allah couldn't help you. That thought itself, is the most foolish ever. He sees you, He hears you, He understands you, He is The Most Gracious, He is the Most Helpful. So why wouldn't He help ? You must help yourself first.  The art of curing heartbreak is not how you fix it, but it's how determined are ...

    T his is a motivational entry. Not an angel or a perfect man tryna give sweet things for you to be floating on air. In order to motivate, we had to be in it, to have faced it. It's like been there, done that.   Moving-on phase comes after fucked up phase. You have to be fucked up to be ready to move on. We all agree, moving-on isn't easy. Hey, you don't deserve the one life Allah has granted just to weep forever. Get up and seek happiness. Life is worth more than weeping all your sadness. Yes, it's easier said than done. Well, being negative will just give you none.   Moving-on doesn't really mean you're getting a new one. Yes, it might work or it might just worsen. You might just fail again. Three easier-said-than-done steps of moving-on are, forget , walk on and open a new path of life . You have to remember, people can always support and teach you how to move on, but you have to help yourself first. Trust yourself that you can do it. Redha, othe...

  C rush. Everyone has one (or many). It is normal between you and me. Mainstream crush is having crush on celebrities. While exclusive crush is liking someone whom you place a (slight) hope of getting her/him.   Well, how do you know you're having a crush ? It comes unnoticed, at the beginning. You simply like the person, either in real or virtual world. You could like him/her for the good look he/she has or you could crush on that person's writing, the way he/she talks, his/her wealth, or the way he/she laughs. Yes, sometimes, people crush on people for weird or absurd reasons like his/her signature, or his/her 'hot' body etcetera-etcetera.   However, the expression of excitement is different between men and women. Usually, men do not (really) show or make it evident when they have a crush on any woman. They probably just share with some close male friends. For some, they just have the balls to approach their crush. That's what men (usually) do. Women treat th...

Hi. God lets us meet again.   It was October 2011. I was fucked up that time. I went hiatus, hiding in my hometown. Then, I got a shocking offer to be one of the new Terfaktab squad members (together with Sofia Nin). Aqram invited me through Facebook. I was flattered and nervous at the same time. Then, I thought of   "The Curse of Terfaktab".  Though I have not been following Terfaktab long enough, but I have seen and read about this sacred curse.   Some say, most writers here experience break-up(s) prior to being in the squad. Then, tragic happens again while in here. That's how I interpret "The Curse of Terfaktab" . Break-up makes us here or no longer here. Well, believing such a thing wholeheartedly is half-stupid. It could well be khurafat. Either you are related with Terfaktab or you are not, everyone suffers break-up(s). We all know, shits happen for reasons. When you found happiness, Allah is the one who granted it. When you suffered disappointmen...

           Y ou and me, we both share something in common. We used to have a bad relationship (or few bad relationships). We never knew, did we ? We never knew it would end up that bad. Well, everyone has had a  fucked up relationship. That's part of life. When I say 'everyone', that doesn't necessarily mean every single one of 7 billion human beings on the planet. I mean, most of us.          Failed relationship(s) hurt especially when love was involved. You know, heart and trust share the same thing; they are fragile . That's why when our love relationship failed, we were heartbroken. Heartbroken is one of the most damnest feeling in the world and yet it is cure-able . Yea, you can say, it is easier said than done. Well, why won't you believe ? Trust yourself. It will heal. It only takes some time, sooner or later. All I know patience is virtue. And yes sometimes it could kill you. Remember, people can say nice things t...

Harini kita bicara tentang ini.   Soal cerita turn-on, turn off ni, ada orang (dengan tak puas hatinya) kata, "Engkau ni suis ke apa nak turn-on, turn off ?"   Memangla tak. Tapi, soal turn on turn off ni kita bicara tentang sesuatu yang ada pada jantina berlawanan (atau jatina sama) yang buat kita tertarik. Haa, itu yang aku mengerti tentang soal turn-on turn off ni.   Macam kau, perempuan, suka sangat tertarik kepada lelaki pabila lelaki berBaju Melayu. Nampak extra hensem, nampak macam lelaki Melayu terakhir dan sebagainya lah. Biasalah tu. Selain itu, ada perkara lain juga yang buat kau turn-on pada seseorang lelaki itu. Berkumis lebat misalnya, takpun berkening tebal dan macam-macam lagi la. Apapun, ia akan bergantung kepada individual differences itu sendiri. Apa yang buat kau turn-on, tak semestinya buat kakak, adik perempuan, makcik atau awek kat McD tu turn-on jugak.   Manakala kau orang lelaki, bukan tak ada perkara yang buat...

  Assalamulaikum, Hai. Isaac Ismael kembali dengan entri baharu setelah sekian lama menyepi atas faktor-faktor peribadi dan bukan peribadi. Kali ini, topiknya ialah Pick Up Lines atau Ayat-Ayat Mengorat.     Biasanya lelaki lah yang suka sangat mengorat. Kalau dulu-dulu, bayangkan scene pemuda kampung lepak-lepak tepi jalan, tengok awek lalu, mulalah menggatal nak mengorat. Ingat perempuan suka ke disuit-suit(bunyi macam tiup wisel) ? Diorang bukan burung Tekukur.Tapi, biasanya ayat-ayat kutu-kutu ni tak power. Mengundang kebencian ada la. Tak kurang ada jugak yang berjaya. Jangan main-main dengan skill kutu kampung. Zaman dah berubah. Sekarang ni mana main dah mengorat dekat bus stop (sebab bus stop pun dipenuhi bangla dan mat Indon kat KL tu), mana main mengorat kat tepi pagar rumah Makcik Senah, mana main mengorat dekat tasik tempat joging petang-petang (tak dinafikan memang masih ada, tapi rare la)    Namun, orang sekarang ni guna Fa...

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera.   Sudah sekian lama agaknya Isaac Ismael (II) tidak muatnaik artwork baru di Terfaktab ni kan. Kini, aku kembali dengan artwork ringkas berkonsepkan humor. Itupun kalau kelakar lah. Bagi aku tak kelakar pun.   Memang tak dinafikan tak semua perempuan adalah tipikal seperti di atas. Kartun di atas pun bukanlah generalisasi terhadap semua wanita.   Pesanan seterusnya, jangan lupa miliki Kitab Terfaktab 2 April ini kerana sudah tentu karya II ada di dalamnya. Sekian, itu sahaja dari II.

Selamat sejahtera ke atas kamu kamu! Sebelum aku menulis lebih panjang, aku sajikan dua daripada 20 episod siri Scarfgals yang tak berapa popular dalam blog aku, Stabbedmiles. . Okay, sketsa di atas hanya hiburan, bukan cerminan peribadi aku. Mamat bangang ignorant dua orang tu tentu sekali tidak mencerminkan aku. ha ha ha. Bagi aku pakai tudung ke tak ke, pakai shawls ke tak ke, kalau dah segak tu tetap segak, kalau dah comel tu tetap comel. Cumanya, kalau dah bertudung tu, eloklah hormati etika bertudung. Bukan setakat nak jadi Ultras Yuna, or Ultras Tajima or Ultras Dian Pelangi. keh keh keh. Alah, yang perempuan ni kauorang tahu sendiri lah kan. Bagi lelaki, tipulah kalau takda citarasa. Ada yang masih suka gadis bertudung bawal. Sebabnya ada banyak. Mungkin lelaki pesen ni sukakan kecantikan yang klasik ataupun simply sukakan gadis(isteri) yang cepat siap. Tak payah tunggu lama-lama nak pakai tudung pun. keh keh keh. Bukan apa, ada sesetengah bentuk muka perempua...

Bertemu lagi dengan aku, Isaac Ismael, atau singkatannya II. Bersempena dengan minggu penghargaan nih, aku berniat untuk menulis panjang sedikit. Nak berinteraksi dengan kauorang semua. Pertamanya, aku ucapkan bertan-tan terima kasih kepada Skuad Terfaktab, Aqram khususnya kerana menjemput aku sebagai komrad terbaharu Terfaktab. Sungguh aku tak sangka.Tak pernah pulak aku terfikir.Takda pulak Tuhan bagi signal yang suatu hari nanti aku boleh jadi sebahagian daripada Terfaktab.  Maklumlah, sebagai penulis/pelukis baru, mungkin level aku tak selejen mereka-mereka yang dah berada 6,7,8,9,10,11 dan 12 bulan dalam Terfaktab ni. Tambah-tambah pengasas, Aqram yang memang lejen. Jadi, aku sumbangkan apa yang termampu, yang selari dengan konsep Terfaktab. And, I am open to any criticism. Kalau tak berkenan tu, ada cara boleh sampaikan. Kalau suka, terima kasih aku ucapkan. And, here is my stuff for this special week. Seperti biasa, perkongsian aku selalunya le...

Entri ini tak semestinya dtujukan kepada lelaki sahaja. Kauorang perempuan pun ada jugak berdepan saat seperti ini. Tika mana kau terpegun dan berkata, "Oh maii, handsome nya mamat ni!" ataupun "OMG, he is super hot!". Ada ke kau anggap perempuan macam bas Rapid. Marah perempuan tu kang. Hahaha. Tak usah ambil serius sangat lah eh strip ini. Hanya seqadar hiburan. Terima kasih! Nota Kaki- Maafla gambar besar gedabak. Kalau kecil, susah pulak nak baca.

Biasalah, bercinta mesti selalu merajuk. Baik lelaki mahupun perempuan. Tapi kadang-kadang hal remeh pun merajuk payah juga. Sampai berpanjangan. Ada yang jenis merajuk kecik punya hal pun mahu putus. Susah macam tu. Ini hanya sekadar hiburan saja. Kalau ada yang tak kena mana-mana, tegur lah. Komik diatas tidak ada kena-mengena penulis/pelukis. Terima kasih!
