Dimensi
Kalimah antara aku dan Kau
Bisikan isi hati dalam perjalanan
Dahaga...
Memandang dalam lubuk hati
Mengisi kekosongan sepi
Duga...
Tiada mahu kufur ni'matmu
Benar di hadapan mataku
Du'a...
Kerana dimensi ku dahaga
Yang tiada duga kerana du'a
Pabila maqbul kalimah itu
Hanya mampu ku ucap
Alhamdulillaah
Walau sebentar, amat bermakna
Sukar, masih sukar...
Sabar, terus bersabar...
Apapun jua, sujudku tadi keranaMu
Kerana detik itu...
Terima kasih Ya Allah...

" Keberkatan Allah ini tidak dapat hendak kita gambarkan sebab hati yang akan terasa ketenangan itu. Kesannya bukan seminggu dua tetapi sampai ke hari tua.
Biarlah bersusah-susah sedikit asalkan syariat Allah dapat kita jaga dengan baik. "

Weekend Sleepover
The late night scary-became-comical vcd...
Our trademark: The cramp lift shot =)
Just endless...
Thanks, Hotel Rendezvous.
Heartfelt, dearest buddies.

On a deeper note,
- Lappy crashed, thus the lost of precious files.
- Trip to KK cancelled, Ophir as well. Maybe, those were signs I guess.
Holidays coming! Wee~

Empunya diri
Sedangkan empunya diri tidak tahu mana titik akhirnya impian. Mengapa mereka yang lain sibuk dengan empunya diri? Hujung pangkalnya tidak pernah jelas, sibuk dengan sangkaan dan pernyataan mereka sendiri. Jika memang benar cahaya itu jelas di mata, pasti ku mohon du'a mereka.
Akarnya, aku tiada pasti. Mengapa mereka cuba memastikan diri ini? Sedangkan soalan itu ditujukan tepat padaku. Jujur bicara pun jadi alasan aku dusta? Diri hanya mampu berdo'a. Bukan diri tidak ingin impian itu tercapai. Namun demikian, biarlah masa yang menentukan. Jika tiada mengerti dan tidak pernah mengetahui, usah meneka membabi buta. Biarlah kebenaran datang dengan sendirinya. Diri tidak perlu berbicara panjang.
Biar ketenangan ini hanya pada mereka yang memahami diri. Sekalung kasih kepada mereka yang setia dan memahami. Ku panjatkan syukur kepada Illahi kerana diri masih mampu bersabar setiap kali dirundung jalan berliku.
Kepada yang memahami kata-kataku, du'a dari taulan dan teman ku harapkan.
Mungkin juga, tiada yang memahami bait-bait kataku ini kecuali Illahi... Aaameen...
On another note, I really hope one of my darlings come to class tmr.
I really hope I can solve this particular problem. The problem with kids' crisis.
Indeed, quite melancholic seh today...
Do you listen?
I wonder, out of 100%, how much do we listen? Say, while communicating, do we dominate the conversation or allow space for other people to contribute their few cents worth?
Not only at home, communication plays a part in every facet of our lives. It plays an important role in people-oriented jobs. Thus, when communication is involved, the etiquettes of conversing are vital in ensuring the equilibrium of both parties.
However, the art of listening is in the brink of extinction. Misunderstandings occur because sometimes, you snap out of an explanation and remain at loggerheads. None of you wants to give in. You refuse to listen.
When someone listens, we let this creative foundation inside us to bloom and expand. Why? Someone is willing to lend a listening ear. This motivates the speaker to cast up new thoughts and receive positive responses from the listener.
Listening increases our level of patience. There may be times when we disagree with our friends or family members. Mastering the art of listening would allow us not to press against them. Once upon a time ago, someone portrayed the importance of listening to me, thus increasing the level of patience. Since then, it’s a beautiful feeling.
Branda Ueland, a prolific author and columnist once quoted…
-------------------------------------------------------
We should all know this: that listening, not talking,
is the gifted and great role, and the imaginative role.
And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic
than the talker, and he is more effective and learns more
and does more good
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aligning with the Quran...
The believers' true patience, however, is very different from mere endurance. They are aware that Allah creates whatever happens to them for a reason, and that therefore it contains some hidden benefit. Knowing that Allah has determined the best possible destiny for them, they meet everything with pleasure and an open heart.
Allah tells the faithful to adopt this attitude in the following verse:
"Those who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord"
(Surat al-'Ankabut, 59).
We never know that by listening, we may be able to learn or even share new things.
So, don’t just listen. Be a true listener. ^-^
Meeting deadlines
With deafening ears, with a heart that bleed, when patience was tested
These past few days...
Chasing the time, when fingers were dancing, with red ink blots, the owner would doze, can't continue no more
These past few days...
When all ages irritate you, when the phase of the term is rushing mad hour, when the space you call home becomes your workplace
The irony, the irony of it all...
*At this point, I wouldn't want to increase new zits, help!*
It's everywhere, to my left, right, above and below.
Even in the car. Even in the room. Everywhere.
Games? Chat? Shop?
The least ways to ease the self and relax.
So you're talking about a weekend break? 'Where got? Use your blain...' Ala PCK.
I've been coming I tell ya. Thus, enduring, phew.
But there's always a limit to one's health.
Meeting here meeting there meeting everywhere
Complain here complain there complain everywhere
Up Down Left Right
Maybe people would ask...
Any committee board?
No.
Any management board?
No.
So, which?
Whiteboard, everyday =P
The loyal one...
me, painting reality...
Quality Time

The delaying time for arrival at the airport allowed me to let my kitchen smoke specially for 'em. Infact, back home, the mini affair expanded when the extended family members came to try the dish. Luckily I got thumbs up, phew.


When the going gets tough
Some may regard their lives as a routine.
Others, exploring and discovering more of what's installed for 'em.
As time goes forward and never stagnant
We are forced to think and move ahead
As we grow older and hopefully wiser
We can't run from new responsibilities
And as a Muslim, our days should better
Today from yesterday, tomorrow than present
And as I think much deeper in detail
I wonder, keep on wondering
Earlier today, the sharings yours truly had
With some dear sisters on the facets of life
The truth, when reality bites
The things we think of when age rises
Dilemma of sisters?
Can't deny the fact I have to go through
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going
But it's all a matter of the equipments you bring
The knowledge you instill
As much as I'm not a super woman
I should learn from the 'alim
At least it's a wake up call I bring upon myself
And I hope when the time comes
I'll be able to juggle them
Life will change, and I have started some
But I just need consistency
To continue with the rest
To achieve something for the benefit
Of myself, and the people I care and love...

Selamat maju jaya, J!"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon." - Paulo Coelho
Unravel the news!
In this rat-race society, everyone wants something satisfying.
Something that leads them to their comfort zone.
And to get that, they need to pay the price.
On the other hand, those who easily got through, stumble and and fall from grace.
Was it because of glory? Popularity? Peers?
And Allah has His ways of testing His servants.
Even when you think you have failed.
When chance is not by your side.
Maybe it's a wake up call for you.
Anything can change with a twist of fate.
His hopes were shattered although he was eligible.
During the results, that March.
At the last minute, today, his dreams came true.
To be placed in one of the tertiary institutions.
A faculty which breeds outdoor potentials.
One just graduated from the design faculty. Did well. My Izdi.
One a freshie in the adventure scene. Hope to excel. My Ayid.
Both fields, passion of mine as well.
It runs in the blood, I guess.
Welcome to poly life my dear Ayid.
Dip in Outdoor & Adventure Learning, huh?
Great.
Another potential whom I'd tap for resources, hihi.
And of course, for future developments.
Past, Present & Future
The big turning point happened few years ago.
But yesterday, when eyes met, the only thing was to let it be.
She smiled radiantly, not emitting hope. Perhaps, that distant smile.
Almost hugged, the warmest, to yours truly.
Exchanged news. Felt happy on the current situation.
That was the choice made, for the better.
Then, we had our goodbyes.
Needed solace the moment the engine was off.
Stayed awhile in the car with surging emotions.
It was gushing. The mind went blank.
Still walking forward is the best medicine.
It has worked so far.
Past actions were lessons to succeed in life.
Like some snippets of a story from Qisas,
“Then you must do one of two things, either forgive or leave that person to Allah and pray for justice.”
It would be better and a higher level of piety.”
“I cannot.”
“Then you must leave that person to Allah and move forward.”
* * *
"Look at your past straight in the eyes and resolve it. Say goodbye to it, turn and move forward. Leave the past where it belongs — in the past. And don’t carry it with you to burden your present.”
* * *
“ You have control over how you act towards life’s events. Your reactions steer your life.”
“ What about forgiveness?”
“ Yes, forgiveness is the highest and most noble of virtues. When you are hurt by careless words, say, ‘For all the times I’ve spoken thoughtlessly, I forgive you.’ If someone oppresses you, say, ‘For all the times I’ve misused my power, I forgive you.’ If someone cheats you and betrays you, say, ‘For every time I’ve been a fool, I forgive you.’ Then the One who is the source and owner of love, forgiveness, and mercy will take you close to Him and your heart will be free.”
12 Rabi'ul Awal - Musim Bunga Yang Pertama *_*
Hari ini datang lagi
Menggamit sejuta impi
Bermula satu revolusi
Lahirmu...
Sebagai insan inspirasi
Menjadi tamsil kendiri
Ummah mencari identiti
Perjuanganmu...
Jalankan perintah tanpa henti
Walau perit tetap mendaki
Junjung tinggi ilmu pekerti
Rasulullah...
Panjimu ke arah kebenaran
Kisahmu sebagai tauladan
Ikutan sepanjang zaman
Peribadimu tiada bandingan

انما بعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق
"Sesungguhnya Aku telah diutuskan semata-mata untuk menyempurnakan kemuliaan akhlak.”
They say, we should remember and cherish those we love.
Every moment.
Our family, our friends.
We should love Rasulullah more,
with so much hanaan.
Are we doing so?
*nods*
Hence my next question:
Are we really emulating his attributes?
Or our actions are merely,
attributing to plain desire
Thus, yesterday, a thought provoking question,
"Cikgu, kenapa orang tua aje yang boleh marah orang muda?
Kenapa orang muda tak boleh marah orang tua?"
Inqusitiveness occured from a lesson of antonyms - Hormat x Biadap
As they regard a teacher-must-know-everything,
I answered.
What would you answer?
detik masa
Kali ini, aku akan cuba lepaskan. Lepaskannya supaya aku belajar lebih kesabaran dan mungkin kepada lebih ketaqwaan. Apapun hikmahnya, mungkin itu yang terbaik buatku. Tiba-tiba malam ini aku terasa amat hiba. Mula-mula, bila terpandang ayat dari msn rakanku tadi, aku mengerti tanpa berasa. Kini, detik ini jua ,aku memandangnya kali kedua...
"Sadness isn't painful, it's trying not to feel sad that hurts..."
Mengapa?
Mungkin kerana...
Ah, aku harus terima.
A long semester ahead
I can't wait for Islam & Psychology module.
I recalled attending a workshop on Counselling & Islam @ CIMS last 2 years.
The handouts are somewhere in the house, huhuh.
The only grinch is the double papers to sit for a day.
With effect from the decreasing no. of days, I shall grit my teeth.
A paper a day is already hard to bear.
4 papers in 2 days?
Calling for organiser of my life!
Sem 2's module:
+ Intro to Fiqh
+ Intro to Usul Fiqh
+ Islam & Psychology
+ Intro to Sociology
Yeah, Dr Osmani is here again! *Hoorah*
x x x
Thx to my newest device to ease my work.
Another retail dilemma though.
Must go Sim Lim!
Another prayer which I hope will be answered.
For the love of them.
March news
+ Exams over. Resuming lectures in a few weeks.
+ Holidays! Engaged in fruitful activities, being work or leisure, the outdoorish way!

Most importantly, the 3 important dates in my diary...

4zerozero bux to spend. On? Any ideas?
I'd prefer electronic/IT stuffs though.
Either hardware or software ;)
Defining success
Between passion and pressure
^^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.
Mudik ke hulu
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
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.
Ya-ya's sistahood yummiegood...
What makes a good sister in Islam such a yummy and rewarding feeling? Those whom attain that level of sisterhood would feel the warmth and comfort. Just beyond words. Difficulties of seeing each other made the hearts grow fonder. Ties of faith, binded together under the same kalimah.
Surprises, surprise. Are we able to take the heat when changes happen and don't stay the way we want them to be? Are we being too relaxed in our comfort zone that we might not be able to adapt to changes? It looks almost perfect to me. The moments, the times shared. Yes, it means a lot. But like it or not, we'll go through a different phase, sooner or later. You, I or they will go. And when that day comes, we'll leave with respect and love for each other.
Thank you my dear sisters. We have planted seeds of knowledge in this journey. The seeds of sisterhood have grown to six beautiful flowers, insyaAllah. The flower pots in the same garden might be replaced with other plants. Hopefully, we'll still stay beautiful with other nourishments that'll improve the outlook of the current flowers now.

Garap ilmu yang sudah ada
Dalam hidup, ada ilmu yang sudah kita tahu dan mungkin telinga kita selalu diingatkan dengan perkara-perkara yang sudah lali. Namun demikian, sedarlah bahawa itu semua merupakan peringatan kepada diri kita kerana manusia mudah lupa.
Ada ilmu pula yang sudah lama kita belajar tetapi kerana jarang digunakan, jadi berkarat. Apakah kesimpulannya? Gilapkan semula ilmu yang sudah berkarat itu. Jangan ingat kita pernah belajar dengan elok suatu masa dulu, akan elok pada masa kini. Terpulang kepada empunya diri yang menggunakan ilmu itu.
Niat amat penting apabila kita menimba ilmu. Elakkan dari menunjuk-nunjuk. Kalau kita disuruh belajar semula ilmu-ilmu yang sudah berkarat itu, jangan merungut. Jadikan itu suatu proses untuk memantapkan semula tugu yang pernah berdiri kukuh satu masa dulu. InsyaAllah, pulih semula ilmu yang berkarat menjadi kilat bercahaya.
Amacam?
