Are you in Long Distance Relationship?

Assalammualaikum and happy day, peeps!

Have you ever been in long distance relationship (LDR)? For me, when we talk about relationship either it is long or short distance what matter is both you and your partner commitments to make this relationship work. I am neither by far an expert in relationship nor the right person to give advice for partners that having problems in their relationship since I've never been in serious relationship before, but I'm good at putting myself at other' shoes and come out with some sort of philosophies in relationship that could be work as guidelines based on my collective observations and experiences. 

So, here are 5 fundamental guidelines to make LDR works:

 Distance in relationship is something virtual that we are talking here. So, put some efforts in creative ways to spice up your relationship so that both of you doesn't feel being pushed away of one another. “Real gold is not afraid of the test of fire.” Instead of thinking that this long distance relationship is pulling you two apart, you should believe that through this experience, the both of you will be bound together even stronger.

Update each other with small little good things that happen in your life so that the other person will feel loved and attended to.

For example, when one of you having a hard time, it is better to leave things behind and lend your ears and time to comfort him/her. And when you have free time, make a surprise visit, and spend it wisely. BUT please make it clear difference between PRIORITY and being POSSESSIVE, okay!!

You are alone but you are not lonely, unless you choose to feel like it. You don’t have to let your world revolve around your partner because you still have you, your friends and your family. Take this opportunity of being apart to do more with your friends and family. Go to the gym more often. Get a new hobby for self upgrading. There are plenty of things for you to do that doesn’t involve your partner.

Be open  and honest to each other. Talk about your feelings of fear, insecurity, jealousy, apathy, hard times and whatsoever. If you try to hide anything from your partner, that secret will sooner or later swallow you up from inside out. Don’t try to deal with things all by yourself. Let your partner help you and give you the support you need. It’s better to look at the problem during its initial stage than to only disclose it when it’s all too late.

******************

However, the guidelines above are VOID if you don't try learn to

RESPECT, TRUST and LOVE someone from a distance.

I hope that it could be a help, Insha Allah!

But if you find being in relationship is struggling enough, being a SINGLE is a great OPPORTUNITY to self-love and grow as individual :)

"To love oneself is the beginning of the lifelong romance"

-Oscar Wilde-

Relationship is somewhat troublesome

Good day, peeps! 

I am so blessed to be surrounded and loved by good people including my dear family, friends and colleagues. This is one the prior reason why I am not desperately looking for a partner or be in serious relationship, I received enough love from these people. Yeah, you might say that form of love differ from the one you received from the loved one (i mean boyfriend, BAE or what so called name), but for me as long as these kind love are genuine, long lasting and secured, that's enough for me to be contained. 

Frankly speaking, I never been in serious relationship with someone before. Back on the old days, when there were a few guys who try to approach me to know more than just a friend,   in a good manner I just declined to do so (yes, friend zoned it is). I said I have already a boyfriend or fiance or any other excuses that I could give just to cut that to go any further, which I was’t at all. It is not like I am a choosy girl or what-so-ever, I am not even pretty to shush them away but it is just me is the problem. I just dont feel comfortable with myself when I am shy because I really dont know how to react or respond with that 'call'.

I have encountered some experiences before with my pretty close male friends, that I unknowingly know that they turn to like me more than a friend. I really thought that the way they act towards me were just not more out of concern as a good friend. I misinterpreted the signal and I still feel bad about it. How would I expected that they would like me when I am little bit boyish appearance, not even sweet talker and polite. And due to that, I prefer and comfortable to befriend with male friends who are already married and have serious partner (so I am secured that they will not fallen for me). 

However, there was one person that I gave special excuse for me to be in some sort of relationship and it lasted for a year I think before I made a decision to end it. I did mentioned about this special friend a few times before in the previous entries. Skip about how we first met. I didnt expect that we can become closer, and he did have a girlfriend before I knew him and due to some reasons, he broke up definitely not because of me. Yeah, unexpectedly again, I have a male close friend who is single. To cut it short, there were times he act differently, somewhat quite confused me and boost by a tragedy happen in our friendship that finally make took me a courage  (after ask a few close friends if mine and him) to ask him directly about the direction of our friendship whether as a friend, friend with benefit or someone special that he even picture me in his future (too symbolic, see not even as girl friend okay because I always seek for a serious one if I want to commit with). He answered the 3rd choice. It wasnt an easy task for me to take the step to ask him but at least I tried my best. . At least I gave myself opportunity to be in some sort of relationship, out of friend zone. I tried as good as possible to be one. But for one who had been single and independence for a long time then started to commit in some sort of relationship, who doesnt even know the rules, all I think is “it is okay for him if I do this” in this relationship  all the time and it was overwhelming to me. I finally realized that I really not ready to be in relationship yet, I’m still a self-love person ever, Allah know me the best. I made a decision we should stay  as a good friend. However, I still feel bad towards him up until now the way I gave excuses to him by provoking certain issues where there wasnt even an issue at all and dont even think about his side, I was being too childish and selfish. That I was regret. He is  truly a good friend and good husband material though. I still owed him a sincere apology. Will tell him later when right moment finally come, hehehe.

And when I watched this KDrama, Wok of Love's scene, I realized this is another reason why I found being in relationship is somehow troublesome to me  and I am not even think to be in one unless Allah leads me to this road and when the time has finally come. Main tarik tali in relationship was so lame and unprofessional. Especially me is the biggest problem, a bold, reckless and straight forward person,  stone headed and hearted, and I am so unpredictable. Tell me, what is worst than this, hehhee! That’s why when people ask me when, I want to get married, i gave them a lame answer, “when the time finally come” because i dont even know when I want to have a serious partner. When the time has finally come, Allah will leads you and the significant other together and you will know that he’s the one, insha allah. So, let Allah do his Almighty awesome work to write our love story and I will do my part to be a better me and better future wife and mother material, okay.

Everybody has their own time space, time frame. Be single, be in relationship and getting married, all these moments are so unpredictable and you put yourselves gambling every second in it. Just enjoy the ride, guys!

Last fling before the ring for May

Assalammualaikum and Good evening, peeps!

Finally, I have time to write my entry for my first girl in my Gadis5Bunga gang (May) that getting married on 25th of February 2018. 

So, we have decided to throw double celebrations for her (Bridal Shower and Belated Bday) at Regalia Residence Kuala Lumpur, a popular spot where the roof top pool facing towards KLCC. We booked the studio room size through airbnb around RM200++ for 3rd of February 2018. The room was really nice and have a great views especially at night.

Roof top view that facing towards the KLCC, if you want to swim here make sure to wear a proper swimming suit attire here

The night view from our fully glass window at our hall 

We spent our night activity with playing the stick by reminiscing our childhood game. Suprisingly, we found the prodigy of this game (CT)

Since CT finally found her talent in stick game, to be more challenging we change to UNO game. The game became more tricky after we mastered the rules and tricks, we played until almost 3am, hehehehe!

The next day, we requested the Bride-to-be to prepare our breakfast with love. Happy tummy!

Before we checked out, May have to read out loud our love letters to her (I requested  everyone of us to prepare the letter depend on their creativity). I wrote a story-book theme to her since I can only found cute exercise book when I went shopping, no card at all >_<.

Video especially made for May

To May,

We always pray for your happiness and wisdom in your marriage, it is another journey of your life and let's tighten up of friendship no matter how far and busy life getting. Sisterhood!

We LOVE you, May!

Small deeds that are OVERLOOKED are also SADAQAH

Assalammualaikum and Salam Jumaat, peeps!

The prophet S.A.W. said that "Enjoining, that is good is a Sadaqah"-Al-Bukhari-

So, I would love to share a video that being shared by the Tadarrus sisters about other ways of sadaqah that are being overlooked by others. It wasn't just by giving charity (in terms of monetary). Islam is simple but yet beautiful.

I am praying to all my muslim sisters and brothers out there by practicing sadaqah Insha allah Allah will purify our heart and soul, May our good deeds brings us to Jannah together.

Amin!

A Silent Grief of a Man called a Father

Assalammualaikum and a very good afternoon, peeps!

On last 5th January it turned out that it has been 2 years since my late mom left us back to her Creator, Allah SWT and it also meant that my father had been a single dad for 2 years too.

And all this while I realized that being a man and a father was never been easy especially when we live in a society that upholding the stereotype that "men don't cry" and "men are strong". It must be very difficult to be a man in grief since there is no way tears to be shed. 

I haven't seen my father shed his tear once in my life even the day when my mom passed away. I know that he just suppressed his sadness for his children. It is so unfair for this kind of stereotype because a man is human too who has feeling to be sad. Cry doesn't make you weak but it is also a way to be stronger. Don't worry dad even you cry in front of us, it will never lessen the fact that We love you and You are our 1st hero! 

I wrote this for a man called a father especially for my only dad

.

.

.

A dad hurts too,

but I never see the tears that my dad cried,

Not once even when my mom died,

I know his heart broken too,

He tried to hold it together and be strong,

Even though his world gone wrong,

He goes through the days doing what he supposed to do,

Unknowingly that his piece of heart has been ripped away too,

So when he's alone he lets out his pain,

If I could imagined,

I want his tears falling like a heavy rain,

Like his world has crashed in around him

So that way my dad will feel the weigh of the burden around him become less,

and he can be stronger again.

Dad..

Although I didn't call or text you everyday,

It doesn't mean that I don't love or care for you,

I knew I took you for granted,

When you were the first one to call/text me,

I am sorry , dad..

I wish you know that,

It is just that I have get used to be this independent girl since I was young,

However I also trying hard to be a lovely girl that can be pampered by you,

Even it is not even close but since I'm only the girl that not married yet,

I want to have this golden opportunity to be a daddy's girl.

Dad,

I want you to know that you are the source of a my quiet strength,

Although you are not here with me,

Your presence will always be missed,

You are my very own guardian angel,

that always be with me till the end,

I love you dad.

"Orang penting ni"

Ada satu kisah yang aku nak kongsi dengan kalian. Kisah yang tak begitu 'fancy' atau glamer mana tapi memberi inspirasi pada orang marhaen macam aku ni. Semoga boleh kita jadikan tauladan bersama.

.

.

Pada suatu tengah hari hujung minggu yang tak begitu sibuk seperti hari-hari bekerja, disebabkan kemalasan yang menebal dalam setiap salur darah yang mengalir dalam badan aku, aku buat keputusan untuk membeli sahaja makanan tengah hari di Food Court Sri Serdang. Tanpa membuang masa, aku menuju ke gerai makan kesukaan aku untuk beli lauk kegemaran aku iaitu ikan keli bakar, sayur ulam dan sambal tempe. Aku ni jenis orang yang kalau makan mesti nak berkuah, jadi aku ambil air asam campur sambal kicap and sedikit kuah ayam panggang, barulah umph makan dengan ikan keli bakar. 

Semasa memberi fokus menuang kuah-kuah tersebut dalam plastik, hidung aku yang sensitif ni menangkap bau sedikit hapak di sebelah kanan aku. Kemudian, sekilas pandang ada susuk lelaki tua yang kurus tinggi disebelah aku mengambil lauk dalam pinggan beliau. Rupanya lelaki tua tu yang biasa aku jumpa di kawasan perumahan aku terutama di gerai makan tepi tasik pada waktu malam dia lepak di situ seusai pulang dari masjid. Aku toleh dan sempat melemparkan senyuman sebelum aku berlalu pergi hendak ke kaunter bayaran.

Sewaktu aku beratur, seorang abang di belakang aku yang lagaknya seperti pelanggan yang sudah biasa di gerai itu memberitahu adik di kaunter bayaran, "Nanti kira sekali ye dengan pakcik Nayan punya. Orang penting ni!". Waktu abang tu cakap orang penting ni, otak aku terus ingat VIP or 'somebody' ke, sesuatu yang tidak menarik minat aku untuk tahu. Lepas tu sbang tu pun sambung, "Kalau dia tak de, siapa nak gali kubur kita, tanamkan kita". Aku terus 'turn on' dengan statement abang ni. Seraya dengan itu, abang tersebut memanggil seseorang yang digelar Pakcik Nayan. Aku teruja nak tahu siapakan gerangan orang penting ni yang daripada yang yang dibualkan tadi pakcik ni penggali kubur. Aku menoleh ke belakang dan tanpa aku sangka lelaki tua yang berbau sedikit hapak tadi la pemilik gerangan Pakcik Nayan tadi. Pakcik Nayan dengan segan menolak permintaan abang tadi kerana merasakan dia terpaksa 'skip' beratur yang panjang tu, tetapi dengan rasa hormat pelanggan-pelanggan yang beratur panjang tadi laluan Pakcik Nayan untuk bahagian depan kaunter  untuk adik kaunter kira supaya bil boleh dibayar oleh abang belakang aku tu. 

Apa yang aku saksikan tadi adalah suatu keindahan dalam hidup bermasyarakat atau lebih spesifik ialah hidup bermasyarakat Islam. Masya Allah! Bahagia sungguh aku rasa tatkala itu sebab dalam keadaan masalah dunia yang memeningkan ini masih ada nilai kasih sayang dan hormat menghormati terutama pada insan yang tiada pangkat dalam masyarakat tapi masih menjadi orang yang penting bagi masyarakat setempat. Di situ aku nampak sebuah harapan.

Apa yang yang hendak 'highlight'  sebagai tauladan daripada kisah di atas ialah:

1) Jangan memandang rendah pada kerjaya seseorang kerana setiap kerja itu selagi halal sama pentingnya pada orang itu sebagai sumber pendapatan dan pada orang lain yang memerlukan khidmat mereka.  Jangan sombong, sebab suatu hari nanti memang kita perlukan orang lain untuk memandikan, menkafankan, mensolatkan serta mengkebumikan kita.

2) Sentiasa berbuat baik sesama manusia walupun nilai itu semakin berkurangan dalam masyarakat kita. Insha allah kalau kita mulakan diri, yang lain akan contohi. Tak salah buat orang lain happy kan.

3) Jangan cepat 'judge'atau 'assume' orang lain. Sifat menghakimi itu hanya sifat zat pada Allah SWT sahaja. 

Aku harap, apa yang aku sampaikan kat sini jadi pengajaran untuk aku dan pembaca lain untuk menjadi yang lebih baik. Amin!

Random: Taurus Girl vs Virgo Boy

Salam and Good-day, peeps 😁!

When I sneaked into my FB account I found this very random status on the super compatible pairing based on zodiac sign. Please be reminded, I am a Muslim and not a person who rely on zodiac readings and by far to believe it at all. This is just for fun since it related to my zodiac (Taurian) and someone  related to me (Virgan). The astrology make some counting and verdict that both Taurian and Virgan fall in the same element which is an Earth element and this pairing is said to have an easy-going and familiar relationship. I cant help myself to smile, not because to agree or disagree with the so-called pairing but more likely to agreed that what was explained about us individually. I think there is a logic reasons why a Taurian and Virgan make a super compatible partner because we are so different yet the difference that make us to complete each other. However, we, individually that holds the character and character is something that can be changed over time. That's make the zodiac sign readings seems irrelevant to me. Like I said, it is just for fun. 

 

 

There is a wise quote on relationship that seems relevant to every relationship that make it long lasting that I want to hold onto:

Learn to ACCEPT the goods and flaws of our partner, 

not TOLERATE because TOLERANCE have certain degree to be hold.

.

.

I've been witnessing a lots of happy long lasting husband and wife, 

it is not always a romantic couple of all times, 

not a couple that always see a rainbow without thunderstorm,

also not a couple who just walk away from the hard times,

but..

They are the couples that sometimes argued with each other although to a small little things,

and they keep on annoyed to each other..

.

.

The important things are what make them stay in LOVE with each other:

Do APOLOGIZE first not because you are wrong but you VALUE the relationship than your EGO,

Do ENCOURAGE each other during HARD TIMES,

TALK about the problems, NOT IGNORE them,

Do TRUST, HONEST and RESPECT each other to let each other GROW,

and REMEMBER that it is always US not YOU/ME in relationship.

May ALLAH bless US with an ETERNAL HAPPY LIFE here and hereafter. AMIN! 

"Because you are a good heart"

Because you are a good hearts

Here's the thing about people with good hearts,

They give you excuses when you don't explain yourself,

They accept apologies you don't give,

They see the best in you when you don't need them to,

At worst, they lift you up even if it means putting their priorities aside,

The word "busy" does not exist in their dictionary,

They make time, even when you don't,

and you wonder why they're the most sensitive people?

You wonder why they're the most caring people?

You wonder why they are willing to give so much of themselves with no expectation in return?

You wonder why their existence is not so essential to your well-being?

It's because they don't make you work hard for the attention they give you,

They accept the love they think they've earned,

and you accept the love you think you're entitled to,

Let me tell you something,

Fear the day when a good heart gives up on you,\Our skies don't become gray out of nowhere,

Our sunshine does not allow the darkness to take over for no reason,

A heart does not turn cold unless it's been treated with coldness for a while

I guess I am one of the those that have a good hearts

.

.

.

(The real article written by unknown but I modified into my-style poem as to fit the my life story)

The words bit by bit are so worthwhile to share. If you ever wonder why I am behaving that way, I still don't no the answer. I just follow my heart though my mind against the action. Perhaps, may be above article will cleared it for you. >_<

Review Korean Drama: My Father is Strange

Assalammualaikum and selamat petang, k-poppers sekalian!

Drama My Father is Strange ni bukan meletup macam Descendent of the Sun tu, rating dia pun around 20-30% jek! Aku tau pon sebab colleague aku tgk YouTube sambil gelak-gelak. Satu ketidakpuasan bila orang lain tgk cerita sambil gelak-gelak ni, mesti aku sibuk nak follow jugak.

Drama ni mengisahkan sebuah keluarga yang biasa-biasa taraf hidupnya, parent yang mempunyai seorang anak lelaki dan tiga anak perempuan. Bapanya merupakan pemilik dan tukang masak restoran (kecil) Father's Snack yang kadang-kadang dibantu oleh isteri serta anak-anaknya. Isterinya merupakan ex-nurse sebelum menjadi fully house wife. Anak sulung merupakan anak lelaki jobless, 5 kali gagal amek entrance exam utk jadi gov servant, anak kedua merupakan seorang yang highly well paid lawyer, anak ketiga merupakan seorang intern di syarikat entertainment and yang last merupakan seorang instructor yoga. 

Di bawah merupakan link utk drama tersebut. Worth to watch:

Kshowonline My Father is Strange

 

 

Watak anak kedua(lawyer)- her flaws, perfection and complexity banyak reflected to myself, that’s why i said this drama is real. Banyak jugak karekter lain yang reflect karekter family ak yang lain.

Apa yang membuatkan aku rasa jalan cerita ni menarik sebab ia mengetengahkan kehidupan sebenar sebuah keluarga yang sederhana taraf hidupnya tinggal tinggal bersama di bandar metropolitan yang ikatan keluarganya sangat utuh dalam menempuhi pelbagai cabaran seperti yang kita selalu hadapi hari-hari. Pendek kata, jalan cerita ni REALISTIK dan sedikit sebanyak mengingatkan aku dengan keluarga aku sebab aku datang dari family yang sederhana, mahukan sesuatu kena berusaha lebih bukan keluarga 'silver spoon' bahkan kebanyakan watak yang dimainkan dalam drama ni juga memberi reflect kepada karekter kami sekeluarga.

Pemacu tunggak dalam utuhnya semangat kekeluargaan dalam drama ini adalah ibu bapa sebagai nakhoda yang mencorakkan masa depan anak-anak. Pentingnya ibu bapa yang cool at the same time tegas yang prihatin dengan masalah anak-anak untuk mewujudkan persekitaran yang positif dan sifat kasih sayang sesama keluarga. Apa masalah yang mereka hadapi akan dibincangkan bersama melibatkan semua ahli keluarga, "Together we are strong". Tapi malangnya, nilai kekeluargaan ini semakin pudar dan perhatian ibu bapa lebih beralih kepada kebendaan melebih perhatian terhadap anak-anak yang membesar. Aku masih lagi mendokong bahawa pendidikan bermula dari rumah. Jadi ibu bapa jangan sewenang-wenangnya menunding jari pada orang lain sekiranya anak melakukan kesalahan. Tilik dari mana silap didikan yang diberikan oleh kalian di rumah.

Kenapa my father is strange, it is because..

“ A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there but a guiding light whose love shows us the way”.

Travelog: Kota Kinabalu-Kundasang Trip

Assalammualaikum  and Selamat bercuti, geng!

Actually memang lama berkehendak nak share travelog ngan pembaca sekalian, tapi masa selalu mencemburui aku untuk menaip banyak.

For Fun: 10 Tanda Kalau Anda Tergolong Dalam Orang Ber-IQ Tinggi

Aku terjumpa ni masa tengah scroll FB aku. Meh tgk aku ni tergolong tak dalam golongan ni sebab setiap kali buat IQ test aku selalu dapat tinggi, orang keliling aku pon cakap benda yang sama, siap suruk masuk clever girl lagi. Sorry to say, IQ tinggi tp EQ rendah pon tak awesome gak, kene seimbang.

OK meh tgk kalau betul aku ada tanda2 orang IQ tinggi ke idok, hehehe:

1)Suka tersenyum sendirian

Yang ni mmg ak selalu buat sebab aku ni jenis mudah terhibur dengan gelagat orang sekeliling. Just by looking their behaviour pon aku dah terhibur.

2)Mudah untuk merasa bosan

Yang ni mmg ak tak leh elakkan, walupun aku cepat rasa bosan tapi aku sentiasa adakan pelan kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya utk elakkan aku rasa bosan. Bukan susah pon, dengar music, melukis, tgk movie, on internet, main game and writing blog of course. Kalau cpt rasa bosan ngan orang biasanya aku akan elakkan jumpa orang yang membosankan tu, hahahha

3)Tidak suka jadi terkenal

Hurm, yang ni pon betul gak. Tapi,orang lain yang suka buat aku terkenal sebab aku pon tak tau apa tarikan aku yang buat orang lain suka men'terkenal'kan aku. I cant blame my aura though

4) Suka tidur lewat malam

Up until my Degree, waktu tidur ak mesti 10-11 mlm la paling lewat. Lebih daripada waktu tu, kalau masih group discussion or meeting masih hold lg, aku dah mula tunjuk perasaan. mungkin sebab guna otak overdosed waktu siang, so I really need to rest at that time. After degree bila sambung phd, mmg ssh nak tido ikut usual time, tp bile otak aku dah penat, aku terus tido tak kisah la kul bpe skali pon. Bahayanya kalau aku dah penat sangat and tgh drive, mungkin aku leh terlelap. Dah 2 kali happen tp Allah panjangkan nyawa aku untuk tersedar sebelum crashed. Alhamdulillah.

5) Dilihat aneh

yang ni aku tak leh nak jawab sebab aneh ni adalah terma yang bergantung pada orang. Yang aku tahu, aku ni sedikit berlainan dari orang normal. I just cant be just normal. Cara aku fikir len dari normal people, sbb tu kadang orang selalu anggap aku degil and always want to win. (my bad, mungkin cara aku expressed kan sesuatu tu lain kot)

6) Confident level yang tinggi

Bagi aku confident adalah pakaian yang paling penting dalam mencerminkan diri ko in and out. That's it. Sebab tu walaupun aku dalam keadaan nervous untuk buat presentation or interview, people always see me as confident person, that's the secret!

7)Sukar untuk menghargai orang lain

Nope. Aku jenis orang yang sangat mudah appreciate orang lain. Tapi aku susah untuk compliment orang lain unless orang tersebut betul2 inspired aku.

8)Sukar untuk dipengaruhi.

Aku jenis pendengar tapi agak sukar untuk terima apa yang didengar bulat2 lantas sukar untuk orang pengaruhi. Sebab tu orang kata aku ni keras kepala la keras hati la. it's so lay, as long as aku tak susahkan orang and I am happy, i am just perfectly fine with it

9) Suka bercakap bersendirian

Yes, I have kind of this habit.Kalau tak bercakap secara verbally, otak aku sentiasa ligat berkata-kata. Even my body pon tak terkejar dengan kepantas otak aku berkata2, haish 😆

10) Berbicara dalam bahasa mudah

I prefer to say so. Tapi orang keliling tak semua yang mudah faham apa yang aku cuba sampai kan. Hanya a few of people that I can count, ccan easily understand what I am going to say without elaborate more. Sebab tu tak semua orang yang aku boleh cakap lama dan panjang. 

Jadi adakah aku orang yang ber"IQ" tinggi? 

As I said before, this is just for fun. 

Seimbang kan IQ and EQ yang penting kan, baru leh jadi orang minda kelas pertama!

Choices in Life That You Will Never Regret

You might be agree with me about the choices in life that you will never regret. "Live to the fullest", people say:

⇒ Express your real feelings even if you are scared or uncomfortable

⇒ Stop trying to change the significant people in your life. Instead, accept and love them as they are

⇒ Acknowledge mistakes and ask for forgiveness

⇒ When something you working on is not working out, try to talk with other people, don't keep by yourself. Different people, different thoughts, approaches and outcomes

⇒ Give away the clothes you haven't worn in the last year

⇒ Stop gossiping about others

⇒ Come home from work early to spend time with your family. Have conversation with them please

⇒ Do the things you've been dreaming about for years

⇒ Learn a new skill every year

⇒ Give a warm smile and a dollar to the homeless guy on the street (even if you aren't sure how the dollar will be spent)

⇒ Let go of a relationship that is draining you or causing heartache

⇒ Learn to meditate and practice meditation regularly (reciting Al-Quran is one of the best meditation)

⇒ Go to bed earlier and get up earlier

⇒ Tell the truth even when it is embarrassing or difficult for you

⇒ Say "I Love You" esp to your family or lover or partner every single day

⇒ Let go of grudges and anger as quickly as possible and be quick to forgive

⇒ Take the job you love, even if it pays you less

⇒ Be appropriately honest with the love one (family, children and closed friend)
⇒ Spend less on material things so can afford more experiences
⇒ Take a stand for something you know is right, even if it's unpopular
⇒ Allow yourself to be silly, goofy and carefree
⇒ Care less about what others think of you
⇒ Take a few moments every day to acknowledge and reflect on the good in your life
⇒ Say YES when you mean YES and NO when you mean NO
⇒ Plan in advance for something fun to do on the weekend
⇒ Plan and take the trip when you need one
⇒ Spend time with people in the generation behind you and learn from them
⇒ Say YES when someone needs your time, support or a helping hand. Remember now it's his/her, some other time it might be you
⇒ Don't stop playing, it make your youth and happy
⇒ Don't argue about politics or religion
⇒ Accept failure as a step in learning rather than an end result or life sentence
⇒ Clean dishes and keep your kitchen clean before you go to the bed
⇒ Learn to enjoy your own company

(compilation of my preference and satisfaction, it might be different to yours. But most of the listed above you will come to agree with me ^__^

Reason I hate to watch news and read paper!

Assalammualaikum and Happy peaceful day, people!

There was one long duration time that I avoided myself to watch news or read papers because there were negative issues that happening around compared to the positive one and they were too overwhelmed for me to accept. I still want to believe our world still are safe for us to stay regardless those war attacks, inhumanity among people, bad lifestyles, vandalism and the lists go on and on. I just don't want to feel insecure about our future and be too judgemental about other people too. I still hope, believe and pray that good people and positive vibes are spreading around in this critical time no matter what happen. 

Alhamdulillah, now I am still adjusting myself to be realistic on this matter and I can see what there are a lot of great people are fighting on this inhumane and insane behaviour. Although I try to adapt to follow the current news but I cant help myself to sigh (sigh more often till I felt I turned old faster) when it come to negative news, not to mention how the other people commented or reacted on that issues, so unprofessional. Well, this is life. bad things happen sometime especially when you let your guard down. 

"Send out your good vibes today, The world needs them!"

Peace upon you, people!

Salam Lebaran Syawal 2017

Assalammualaikum dan Salam Aidil Fitri, semua!

Jernihkan diri dengan zikrullah,

Sucikan pekerti dengan syukrulillah,

Cerahkan jiwa dengan cinta Warrahmah,

Serikan diri dengan senyuman terindah,

Seiring dengan Hari Raya Aidil Fitri,

Mohon Maaf zahir dan batin,

Andai mulut terkasar bicara,

Andai perilaku tersilap caturan,

Taqoballahu Minna Wa Minkum,

Minal Aidzin Wal Faidzin

Syawal kali kedua sambut tanpa arwah ibu. Sememangnya ketiadaan beliau amat dirasai oleh seluruh ahli keluarga yang dekat atau yang jauh kerana beliau penyambung ukhwah keluarga, tetapi kehidupan perlu diteruskan bagi yang masih hidup dan apa yang arwah ibu buat perlu diteruskan demi kebaikan semua. Al-fatihah buat arwah ibu dan ahli keluarga yang telah pergi meninggal kita. 

 

 Raya ke-empat baru dapat bergambar semua ada kecuali abg ipar

Ayah, sibs and anak2 buah

I am born INDEPENDENT at Heart

Assalammualaikum and a very good evening people!

Did you know that independence in not a wish that is granted. It is something that you are born with. Being independent is far more than simply decisive, strong-headed, and able to manage livelihood at a young age. Independent are those who don’t allow anyone else (but themselves) to ride their minds. 

If you are the rider of your own mind. you might agree with me those related listing points that you are born independent at heart:

1. Your tastes never influenced by the others
2. You make your own mistakes and hold no regrets 
3. You earn your daily bread out of what you want to do, not out of what the society wants you to do
4. You dream travelling the world on your on terms and money
5. When people try to manipulate your thought systems, you listen and be like "I don't care!"
6. You take the fall without worrying about the aftermath
7. You stand by your own opinion
8. Somehow, it annoys you a little when somebody helps you without even asking you
9. You are a fine observer
10. You always have opinions, but express them only to those you feel are deserving your thoughts (TOTALLY AGREED)
11. You never show off how independent you are!
12. Even when your plan backfire, you consider them advantageous
13. You respect yourself immensely because you know it is You who makes you
14. You see the world through the eyes of your mind which make you think differently than others
15. Praises dont always make you dance, and criticisms dont weigh down your wings
16. Sometimes your strong headedness worries your parents and people who care for you (I am working on this one too to make them dont worry much about me by telling my whereabouts)
17. You dont abide by worldly rules, you function by your thoughts
18. You know how to say "no"
19. You are selective about your relationships
20. You are strong and realistic
21. You are not comfortable being with the needy people
22. You are cool being your own

Being highly independent can scare some people away, but you are not callous or mean, you just know how to get the things you want and deserve. What is so wrong about that?

Pardon us if we are wrong with attitude because we do listen >_<

Undescribed Feeling

Assalammualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera !

Sekejap dah seminggu umat Islam menunaikan ibadah berpuasa. Bila imbas berpuasa zaman kanak-kanak dan zaman dewasa ni ternyata banyak yang berbeza. Kalau dulu mmg seronok, bila kita kanak-kanak kalau berpuasa mesti disogokkan oleh parent makanan kegemaran terhidang depan mata sebagai pembakar semangat untuk kita berpuasa penuh tetapi itu semua bukan lagi yang sesuatu yang kita nanti-nantikan sebagai pembakar semangat bila tiba bulan Ramadhan bila kita menginjak dewasa iaitu ganjaran pahala. Alhamdulillah!

Semalam aku berkesempatan berbuka di masjid berhampiran rumah sahabat aku selepas dia jemput aku beriftar bersama dia kebetulan di masjid berdekatan beliau menjemput Imam daripada Makkah dan Madinah untuk mengimamkan solat terawih dan memberi tazkirah di masjid tersebut. Difahamkan bahawa jemputan Imam daripada luar merupakan program tahunan di masjid tersebut dan menurut beliau, kebiasaannya imam dari Makkah ni bacaan surah dalam solat pendek tetapi bacaan doa panjang. . Sedikit kelainan dalam majlis2 iftar yang aku attend sebelum ni biasanya tazkirah disampaikan oleh Imam dalam BM tetapi kali ni imam sampaikan dalam native language beliau (arab) dan dialih bahasakan dalam BM oleh imam tempatan yang fasih dalam berbahasa arab. Walupun tazkirah yang disampaikan pendek tetapi padat dan penuh 'deep'.

Tapi apa yang aku nak highlight dekat sini adalah sesuatu perasaan yang meruntunkan hati dan syahdu timbul sewaktu bacaan doa imam tersebut selepas solat. Aku rasa kowg pon pernah lalui pengalaman macam ni kan. Betapa besarnya hikmah yang Allah berikan pada aku waktu tu sedangkan aku jauh sekali memahami bahasa arab walhal aku ambil arab sewaktu aku bersekolah agama  di Johor (sekolah agama sebelah pagi atau petang sebelum atau selepas sekolah keb), hanya beberapa perkataan yang aku faham dimana maknanya biasa aku baca dalam doa harian.

Betapa untungnya orang2 middle east yang yang menjadikan bahasa Al-Quran sebagai native language mereka, mudah untuk mereka mendalami setiap apa yang dibacakan dalam solat, Al-Quran serta hadis. Aku cuba tahan air mata yang bergenang di hujung kelopak mata bagaimanapun tertewas tumpah juga akhirnya sehingga sedu-sedan akibat cubaan menahan air mata tadi. Ajaibnya, dalam solat dan doa, kefahaman kita bersatu walupun berasal dari berlainan bangsa, bahasa dan warna kulit, semua mengharapkan keredhaan terhadap pencipta yang Esa.
