Between passion and pressure

|
^^ I've decided to commit more in photography. Thus, my current indulgence with other photo enthusiasts in the virtual hub. It has been a fun experimental activity, a chance to reduce another tight period of the week. A chance to do something without pressure by people around me. It's too expensive to buy a pro so I'm just playing around with my current gadget.
^^ Chatted with a friend yesterday pertaining the offer. Although it was still in the proposed stage for implementation, there's an extra boon if I were to accept it (in case, they really need my expertise). Maybe I could plan a flowchart on a long-term basis. Perhaps, some advices from people. And of course, searching for a good sign from High Above.



^^Iz's Graduates' Design Showcase 07, and their theme prescrip+ion was a success @ NLB recently. He was put i/c and basically I could feel the hardwork these students had for the past few days. They are really potentials. I may not be able to step in the same shoes as him (how i wish i could, long story), but I shared the happiness and I'm glad he made it through final year. Alhamdulillaah.




So if you plan on going for the Show, it ended on Monday. Unplanned, me and my mum ended up with the other family members. My weekend was splendid with the loved ones around.
While waiting for the rest to reach, me and mum went to Aksara (The passage of Malay scripts), Level 10. One good thing about it? A free booklet with good colour printing
quality as a takeaway. Also reminded me of my lectures and tutorials on the Melayu Kuno(old) stuffs. The info provided to the visitors brought me back to sessions where I had tons of lecture notes to memorize the pertaining History of Malay Writings during my first year in school.
^^ I doubt the satisfaction I might gain this year. Some things are materializing but improper. The mission towards the vision is clouded by unwanted actions and lacking direction. It is not surprising if people are gradually absent. And I happen to be one of them only after the second day (only that I'm still present).

Mudik ke hulu

Teringin untuk aku ungkapkan fikrahku melalui bait-bait kata yang indah; membina frasa-frasa yang mampu meninggalkan mesej kepada mereka yang ikhlas membacanya. Besar hatiku pula melihat mereka yang lebih mantap mengatur watak-watak melalui bakat melukis untuk tatapan mereka yang meminati seni grafik, kerana objektif da'wah serasi ummah. Ada pula yang dianugerahkan kedua-dua bakat dan digarap dengan sifat istiqamah untuk sentiasa membina jiwa dan diri agar segala mesej yang ingin disampaikan meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam kepada penerima.

Sedangkan diri seorang insan yang masih kerdil ini belum tentu mampu untuk beristiqamah dengan anugerah-anugerah yang ada. Semangat yang kuat sahaja tidak cukup. Kaki perlu menapak.Langkah perlu diorak. Bak kata orang 'pelan-pelan kayuh eh'. Ya, memang, insan ini memang boleh berkayuh. Cuma, belum tentu hilir mudiknya. Harap-harap berbaloi.

Usaha mesti ada. Ikhtiar tak lupa. Moga-moga perjuangan ini, jika dihadapkan kepada yang di Atas, dipermudahkan perjalanan. Bersama mereka yang berada di medan ini memetikkan semangat insan untuk terus mencuba. Aameen ya Rabb.

Munajatku di sepertiga malam

Wahai Kekasihku...
Tiada tolok bandingnya
Kesedaran yang pernah
Kau titipkan sedetik dahulu

Wahai Kekasihku...
Walau pernah hampir
Pada azab sengsara
Yang menzalimi diri

Wahai Kekasihku...
Setelah hidayahMu
Dan peluang kedua bagiku
Enggan ku paling lagi dariMu

Wahai Kekasihku...
Walau masih ada ku mungkiri
KeampunanMu tiada bertepi
Haru sungguh rasa hati

Wahai Kekasihku...
RedhaMu ku harapkan
Kasih sayangMu ku dambakan
Du'a ini ku panjatkan

Wahai Kekasihku...
Syukurku atas bimbinganMu
Syukurku atas petunjukMu
Syukurku atas tariqMu

Wahai Kekasihku...
Tiada apa kecuali ta'at
Yang ku harap meningkat
Di atas segala ni'mat
Kepada da'ie antara du'at

Wahai Kekasihku...
Kau buktikan lagi kekuasaan
Dari hati yang pernah kelam
Ku gantung pengharapan
Penyinar nur keimanan

Wahai Kekasihku...
Ku sayu namun senyum
Ku sujud tanda syukur


X X X

Sayu. Sujud. Syukur
Moga dipeliharakan
Dalam du'a. hati. inspirasi.
