Islamic Relief (Warm for Syria)

I'm helping to promote this wonderful project by Islamic Relief. On top of that, let's pray for our brothers and sisters in Syria. May Allah protect and bless them in dunya and akhira..InshaAllah.


For more information check out their Facebook page and website

And whatever you spend or whatever you vow to offer, Allah verily knows it and the evildoers have no helpers. (Al-Baqarah 2:270 )
Those who spend (in the cause of Allah) privately or publicly, by night and day, have their reward with their Lord. And (on the Day of Resurrection) they shall neither fear nor grieve. (Al-Baqarah 2:274)

BIG BLACK BOX


I was stuck in a big black box
I owned the box
The box belongs to me
I tried and tried and tried to get out
I kicked, I punched and I screamed
No one can hear me
Except my big black box
Now…
I’m outside
I’m free
But I still see my big black box
Not through my eyes
But through my mind
So am I still stuck?
I breathe, I suffocate and I vomit
and now…
I wish I’m in my big black box
the box that belongs to me

To see you have to think, to think you have to understand, to understand you have to read, to read you have to learn, to learn you have to see... 

This is not real.

KOPI

KOPI
Hidup macam kopi
Kejayaan macam gula
Kesusahan macam susu
Kopi gula dan susu
Campuran yang sempurna
Tanpa gula dan susu
Kopi tiada rasa
Kopi hanya kopi
Gula tiada fungsi
Susu beralih erti

-shaqhirah-

Turning Point

I had a friend before. One day I met him and he asked me a question that I will remember forever.
"My friend, can you assure me something?"
"Well, what is it""
"Can you 100% sure that we will meet each other tomorrow, two days later, next week, next month or next year?"
"I can't definitely, that's just impossible"
 And two weeks later, my friend died in a car accident. Al-Fatiha...

We have decreed death to you all, and We are not outstripped, سورة الواقعة  , Al-Waqia, Chapter 56, Verse 60)
Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
(  سورة آل عمران  , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter 3, Verse 185)

First manifestation of idea (GUILT)

(Park scene)
K sat on a bench
V came and sat next to her
V:           Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere (smiles)
K:            (Silence)
V:           Are you okay? (Smiles) Tell me if something’s wrong
K:            (turned her head and looked at V)
V:           Please say something? (Smiles)
K:            She’s gone, gone… (Looked away)
V:           Gone? Are you sure?
K:            Yes
(Silence)
V:           How?
K:            I killed her. Yes, I killed her (looked down, cover face with both palms)
A stranger walked by and looked at K and V

2 days earlier
(Kitchen scene)
V:           Hey! (Hugged K from behind)
K:           Hey (smiles)
V:           Have you had your dinner?
K:           Yes (turned around) Why are you so happy?
V:           Well… (Grabbed a cup) should I make you some tea?
K:           Okay I guess?
V:           (Boils water, sat next to K) I met someone and … I’m planning to move in with him (smiles)
K:           Okay (stood up and left the kitchen)

Few hours before
K:            (Knocked on the door)
Door opens, V looked at K and smiled, K entered the room holding a knife behind her, door closes, camera moved away
Shower, water flowing with blood.

End

You have to enter my mind to understand this. I'm not real.

Malas (orang ke lembu?)

Sexy tak? 4 bintang untuk anda

Assalamualaikum wbt, salam sejahtera dan salam satu Malaysia (sambil jari telunjuk ke atas dan muka tersenyum kegirangan) How are you? Kalau sihat, alhamdulillah, kalau tak sihat pun alhamdulillah sebab sakit tu penghapus dosa, betul tak? Okay, title entry nampak macam agak longkang kan or in other words, macam menganjing je..macam menganjing je// macam tak nak baca je.. (sudah cukup cukup sudah!) Whatever it is, today, I nak share something yang sangat dekat DEKAT (emphasize di situ) dengan saya -MALAS atau orang putih kata lazy. Menyedari kenyataan yang diri ini seorang yang malas, malas nak buat kerja, malas nak jalan, malas nak masak, malas nak bernafas (pun boleh), malas nak itu malas nak ini, jadi daku pun membuatlah sedikit research (kerajinan yang tak bertempat) tentang cara-cara mengatasi malas and here are the outcomes (jeng-jeng-jeng)

So tips mengatasi penyakit M (supaya anda tidak dikategorikan lagi sebagai lembu seperti saya):

1. Doa
Bagi yang beragama Islam tu, boleh lah amalkan doa untuk mengatasi rasa malas, takut dan hutang (3 in 1 ambik engkau, that's why I love my religion, simple babe). Kalau rasa macam susah nak hafal doa ni in Arabic (maklumlah lidah Melayu), bacalah dalam rumi yang penting IKHLAS nak berubah ke arah yang lebih baik. 


2. Solat
Second point ni untuk orang-orang yang malas bangun pagi, dah letak jam loceng besar London Tower pun tak bangun-bangun jugak, liat macam dodol tak jadi. Solat Subuh tu InshaAllah akan membuatkan anda senang nak bangun awal, nak pergi sekolah, kuliah, kerja etc. Ada yang kata set jam awal supaya boleh snooze, well not for me. Sebab kalau kita tau yang kita ada lagi masa nak tidur, memang masalah negara jadinya. 

3.Mandi
Yang ni lembu memang tak buat la, tapi this works on me. Kalau rasa malas, mata kuyu ala-ala Izzue Islam gitu (kuyu ke?) boleh la cuba. 



4.To do list
Memang favorite kalau nak buat to do list, kemas, cantik, elok je tersusun, tapi nak buatnye...(krik-krik) Tapi lepas ni kena rajin-rajinkan diri, nanti orang kata cakap tak serupa bikin pulak (heh)

5.10 minit je
yang nomber 5 ni dapat from one blog. Kalau nak mula buat sesuatu tapi malas nak mam***, cakap kat diri sendiri "takpe, aku buat 10 minit je, nanti boleh tido" InshaAllah that 10 minutes will extend to 20 minutes, 30 minutes dan seterusnya.

6.Keluar 
A friend of mine suggested this to me. Bukanlah maksudnya keluar gi shopping ke ape, just get out of your room. Ambil fresh air. Sebab kalau duduk dalam bilik syaitan senang nak hembus, duduk atas kelopak mata dan akhirnya kecundanglah kita di tengah jalan. Ada orang kata bersukan, pun boleh jugaklah. But not for me, I anti-sport punya orang. Eh, taklah, gurau saja (nampak dah ade orang geleng kepala tu)

7.Tidur 
Hoi! Apakah? Di manakah ke-Relevant-nan nya di situ. But trust me, kalau tidur tak cukup, badan jadi letih and as a result korang akan jadi macam hantu Kak Limah. Jadi rehat cukup-cukup, jangan rehat selamanya sudah. 
Consequence of sleep deprivation 

8.Ingat mati
Mak aii, kasar bahasa. But this is true. Ingatlah yang kalau kita malas hari ni, tup tup today is your last day, tak ke rugi tu. Jadi, jangan malas-malas ye (note to myself jugak sob sob)

And remeber you are given this life because you are strong enough to live it Wallahualam :)

Layan lagu AXL kejap - nampak macam sesuai dengan entri hari ni, ENJOY!

Tora datang lagi...(I'm back!)

Assalamualaikum wbt semua pembaca-pembaca blog saya yang tak berapa nak setia.. It's been a long time since I last wrote on this beloved, a bit dusty blog. I have good reasons for that (trust me!) Number 1, I was previously (around 2 months ago) busy preparing my documents before flying off to UK.. Secondly, Alhamdulillah, I'm currently staying in UK (bukan Ulu Klang ye) and therefore, I need some time to settle down and of course adapt with new environment and people.

UK Flag (promo sikit)
Tentu-tentulah sibuk kan, nak kena catch up dengan studies and stuff (which I can take hours to list them all out) Oh well, who cares! Pejam celik pejam celik dah dua bulan dah saya berada kat Reading dan dua bulan jugaklah saya dah dengan rasminya menjadi seorang pelajar universiti (dan of course dah dua bulan tak jumpa dengan family yang tercinta sob sob) 

Anyway, how's life so far? I can't really describe it using one precise word. Well, to be honest, UK is definitely different from Damansara (where I did my A-levels for two years). Its colder (woots), banyak mat salleh, greener, bigger (the University is MASSIVE), the people, the enviroment memang sangat lain. Trust me, tiga tahun pun rasaya tak cukup untuk saya fully understand every single thing that happens here i.e the tradition, culture etc. But I will, InshaAllah try my best to learn the differences and acknowledge them and if possible incorporate them into my life here. I am so axcited to share all my experiences here terutama sekali part jalan-jalan kat around Europe kan (orang kata kalau dah kat UK tak jalan Europe tu memang rugi sebab dah dekat sangat kan, ye ke?) Nonetheless, I (and all my friends yang datang ke UK especially untuk study) have to always remind myself dan sentiasa ingat tujuan utama saya datang ke sini adalah untuk BELAJAR! STUDY! Bukan saje-saje nak main-main pergi clubbing (amboi kelas kau jah) dan sebagainya. Nawaitu tu kena lurus, kena betul barulah kita akan dapat outcome yang kita nak. You will have time to enjoy later on (InshaAllah kalau panjang umur).

Study mode activated
Always remember, there are stages in life. If you want to really enjoy your life, follow the stages, do not skip any of the stages becaue if you do, you will in the future carve for that missing stage of your life (nampak macam merepek, but trust me, bila you fikir-fikirkan, betul jugak cakap minah ni, hopefully la kan) Okaylah, I'm looking forward to share my stories here with you guys in the future InshaAllah :) Thanks for reading this first entry from Reading :) Nampak tak permainan kata dia kat situ, I'm good..
