Wordless Wednesday

Farewell lunch for Kak Afni on her last day or service. She's going abroad somewhere in August. She got Fullbright Scholarship.

It is true when they said "When's there a will, there's a way!" She proves it right!

Afni Unnie, Saranghae!!

My Advice

I'm happy that I can give my two cents to a friend of mine who seems sad and frustrated over a friend of hers. I guess experience is (really) the best teacher. I hope Kak Linda will be getting better and manage to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Have faith and let He shows you the best plan. Amin.

"Kak Linda, though it hurts you but at least you have the opportunity to wake up rather than been waiting forever for nothing. I guess the feeling should be mutual. If only one side feels the love, being sincere and keep the friendship but the other side is running away, it would be a waste not for us but for them. Allah knows what best for us. Don't cry because they left. Just smile because they gave you a chance to find someone better. hugs!"

Shit Happens

Sometimes shit happens. Especially when we expect the least. Today, I was almost got into an incident that may take my life to the other side of the world. I may not be able to be who I am now and who I want to be later.

Some people will say it is not that big deal. But, it is for me. I was traumatized for a while that took my breath away. Luckily there were Kak Ima and Kak Afni as my saviour. Thank you Allah. Thank you guys!

Let me share with you of what had happened to me. huhu

This was taken in the car while waiting for Kak Ima and Kak Afni. 

Patiently waiting with happy face. 

Decided to go a bit farther for breakfast after I got the news that Kak Afni will not be working anymore (soon).Thus, we wanted to make it a bit nostalgic. The pic was taken right before the incident. Snapped and edited  by Kak Ima's Samsung Note. Kbai!

The incident happened when we wanted to print it out. I got stucked in an escalator. I mean my kain baju kurung. We were very panicked. Kak Afni helped me in balancing my own body from falling on the floor. Kak Ima helped to pull out the kain from the moving escalator. I can say it was very near to my leg. There were a number of people around but nobody offered their help. When everything was okay, I was too ashamed that I asked them to find me a skirt to replace the torn kain baju kurung. 

Post incident. Instead of buying a skirt, I opted to buy new baju kurung as the price is only RM45. Frankly, I was a bit traumatized after that. In order to go to the car park, we need to use another escalator. This time around, I was being extra careful with my kain baju kurung. Glad nothing happened for the second time. 

So, moral of the story, please please please be extra careful with everySINGLEthing. And, people will only look until it getting worse I guess - the bystander effect works! And, I only wore that baju kurung only a few times now I can't wear it anymore. Sobsss!

Thank you Allah. Thank you Kak Ima and Kak Afni.

Putus Asa? Jangan!!

"Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu; Allah mengetahui, sedang kamu tidak Mengetahui."

(Surah al-Baqarah:ayat 216)

Easier said than done! Betul tu! Selalunya kita hanya akan pandai bercakap dan menasihati orang berguni-guni tapi bila kene kat batang hidung sendiri, baru menggelupur tak tentu hala. Masa ni lah apa yang orang semua nasihat terus masuk telinga kanan keluar telinga kiri. Lepas tu, kita akan sedaya-upaya menafikan kata-kata nasihat orang "AHHH senanglah kau cakap, yang menanggungnya aku. Cuba kau pulak yang kena!!" (pulak dahhhh!)

Pelik kan! Unik sebenarnya. Kenapa kita sukar nak terima nasihat kalau kita rasa kita pandai nasihatkan orang? Sebenarnya, itu lah konsep kita hidup berpasangan, berkawan, berkomuniti dan  macam-macam 'ber' lagi. Kita ini dijadikan untuk saling melengkapi. Ha jangan nak terus fikir pasangan hidup je okay!! Ramai lagi selain pasangan hidup yang perlu kita jaga hubungan hablumminannas tu. 

Mungkin kali ini kita kecewa. Mungkin kali ini kita putus asa. Tapi Allah itu maha berkuasa, Dia pasti ada rancangan terhebat buat kita. Selalu dengar orang cakap macam ni "kita dipertemukan dengan orang yang salah supaya kita dapat belajar dan bila kita dipertemukan dengan yang satu, kita akan lebih menghargai..." 

Semuanya sudah disiapkan untuk kita, cuma tunggu masa yang sesuai sahaja. Mungkin kita telah berselisih sebelum ni tapi belum tiba masanya. Memang orang akan bercerita, orang akan mengata mungkin menghina. Tapi perlu apa caci maki mereka. Selagi kita tahu paksinya, keluarga di sisi, sahabat yang memahami, insyaAllah segala kepayahan akan mampu kita harungi. 

Banyak lagi perkara yang perlu kita pentingkan. Bukan nak kata jodoh itu tidak penting. Siapa kata tak  penting??? Penting dan mustahak tau!! Sebab itu yang akan menjadi penentu zuriat kita selaku generasi dan khalifah yang akan membimbing sekalian ummah. Tapi jangan jadikan itu satu alasan untuk kita tunduk dan layu. Bangunlah demi anak bangsamu. Apa kata kita bersiap-sedia dahulu sebelum jodoh itu tiba. Lengkapkan diri dengan ilmu, tabahkan hati dengan kecekalan dan balas jasa ibu bapa dan keluarga selagi termampu.

Kenapa? Kerana, dengan harapan bila tiba masanya kita akan bersedia dengan segala macam onak dan duri serta mempu menikmati nikmat kebahagiaan itu semanis-manisnya. Agar tiada ralat di hati. Benar, jodoh perlu diusaha, tak boleh tunggu datang bergolek alamat bersendirilah sampai ke tua. Tapi biarlah kena caranya. Kan kita memang dilahirkan berpasangan. Percaya dan yakin, InsyaAllah.

"Allah menguju seseorang itu kerana Allah swt mempunyai rahsianya tersendiri, sama ada Allah hendak menambah keimanan kita atau hendak uji sejauh mana keimanan kita.."

"Jangan kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah (pula) kamu bersedih hati, padal kamulah orang-orang yang paling Tinggi (derajatnya), jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman."

(Surah Ali Imran: ayat 139)

p.s: Mesti korang rasa "Ala, senang la cakap cuba kau pulak rasa.." So, apa kata kita sama-sama rasa, berkongsi kan boleh kurangkan rasa sakit. Jangan simpan sebab ia mampu menjadi toksin yang mendekatkan kita dengan barah.

Peace Uolss!!

Priority

A short and simple note.

My (used-to-be) priority will be others' priority.
I should prioritize mine from now own.
May Allah bless.
