of seeking pleasure
It amazes me to see how I could stay up at night to finish Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol but I couldn't bring myself more than an hour to go through Syed Qutb's before dozing off. Truly in pleasure there is some sort of power?

"Janganlah anda cepat merasa puas dengan melihat nama anda tercantum sebagai seorang Islam dalam daftar tanda penduduk anda, tetapi berusahalah agar nama anda tercatat dalam buku catatan Allah sebagai hambanya yang patuh." (MHM, Al-Maududi)
"Tidak ada gunanya bila seluruh manusia di dunia ini memberikan surat keterangan bahawa anda adalah seorang Islam. Kejayaan anda yang sebenarnya terletak dalam penilaian yang diberikan oleh Allah, bahwa anda adalah seorang Mu'min, bukannya seorang munafiq, seorang beriman, bukannya seorang kafir."

just plain rambling
bismillah
among the things i find challenging growing up is the ambiguity in distinguishing the yellow from the orange, the red from the pink and the brown from the black. you may think i might be suffering from colour blindness but i am quite sure to say it's far from that. i'm actually talking figuratively.
the black and the white. if only the grey doesn't exist. then again, what is life without the space to exercise one's mental abilities? and the reward He gives us for being stressed out over something minute.
Allah, please guide me in making the right choices in life. insyaAllah. and also the strength to stick with the choices made.

of a pacifier
bismillah.
first and foremost, Alhamdulillah for exams that come and most importantly GO! ;) just like anything created on this world.
i was so bogged down recently and i wasn't sure why, and to top it all, my mood also went down hill, and then i came across some ayats in surah at-taghabun which made my day,
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
(64:1) All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth extols Allah’s glory. His is the sovereignty and to Him is all praise due; He has power over everything.
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنْكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
(64:2) He it is Who has created you: and among you are those that deny the Truth and among you are those that believe in it. Allah observes all that you do.
خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ
(64:3) He created the heavens and the earth with Truth and shaped you, giving you excellent shapes. And to Him is your ultimate return. يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
(64:4) He knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you disclose. Allah even knows what lies hidden in the breasts of people.xx,

the uncanny rambler
what happens when you come to a point and realise that fairytales also have expiry dates?
can someone tell me to take a deep breath, and stand strong darling,
because swaying to and fro are only cool for rocking chairs and palm trees on the beach.
in search of inspiration?
arhhhhh.

لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآَخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آَبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ أُولَئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
(58:22) You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day befriending those who oppose Allah and His Messenger even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. He has inscribed faith in their hearts and has strengthened them with a spirit from Him, and He shall make them enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Therein they shall abide. Allah is well-pleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him. They belong to Allah’s party. Verily Allah’s party shall prosper.
of a h moment
bismillah.
i was about to rest my eyes, when curiosity suddenly struck me. my fingers started twitching and without jeopardising my body's need for heat (aka without moving out of the duvet) i reached for the OHCM or what is referred to the Cheese & Onion in the med students world.
with a deep thought in mind, scrutinising every incident as it happened, looking at the index page for what is appropriate, and finally...finally wondering if the search is over.
trembling with fear, i was shocked at the distinct similarity ingrained in ink.
page 269.
Wilson's disease.
am I a victim?
*lol! hypochondriacal moment over* clap2
ok, i was looking through the disease i figured there were some familiarities - labile emotions. or is that just a common feature for a group of productive unpredictable mammals, commonly known as women?
ngeh.
a bit of blabbering in the morning sun.

ALhamdulillah for allowing us to breath again this morning and to blabber on for the day.

a bit of optimism wouldn't hurt insyaAllah. ;)

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
bismillah.
Alhamdulillah, these past few days have really proven La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
it started with an easter holiday that was meant to be a period of catching up with the neglected Kumar & Clark, Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, McLeod's and a few others.
but Alhamdulillah, Allah knows best. and indeed, it is the best insyaAllah.
optimistic.
a very simple term with a deep and inspiring meaning. that was the most valuable thing i appreciated from IMAM symposium yesterday.
the speakers were extraordinary medical professionals with incorporated Islamic fikrah. masyaAllah. how often do we get the oppurtunity to draw on their thoughts and experience? so Alhamdulillah, Allah willed for us to make it through the 3 and a half hours drive to Manchester that morning, although we left half an hour later than planned, we made it 10 minutes into the first speech.
a quote from Dr Burhanuddin,
"Maher zain didn't stop singing when he saw there were so many singers,
Mark Zuckerberg didn't stop when he saw many other social networking sites, Friendster, Myspace."
and they won.
so we shouldn't stop trying either.
In one of his speeches, Prof Abdul Rasyid mentioned an ayat from our book of guidance,

(29:69) As for those who strive in Our cause, We shall surely guide them to Our Ways. Indeed Allah is with those who do good.
so we should always try to do the most good that we can do, becoming great doctors for the Ummah, seizing each oppurtunity as it comes along, and striving to become the best.
learning to appreciate and cherish knowledge as it is all from The Almighty, and using it to benefit mankind.
"Khairun nas man Yanfaunnas" - the best people are those who benefit others
thus, what is there to hold us back from grabbing the chance to become the best? when we know Allah is with us, those who are doing good insyaAllah.
in a meeting after the event, he said, "Dakwah is not just in usrah, because that itself is actually secularism in Islam".
and I learned, dakwah is in every bit of our life. be it smiling to patients, reading doa to them in consultations, and becoming a role model House Officer with Islamic values insyaAllah.
p/s: notice the highlighted part in the ayat? nahdiya ^_^

so there is actually a conclusion.
that life is not worth living if we all live like robots.
binneka tunggal eka! unity in diversity.
everyone is unique. and i purposely use this word in its true meaning and not a euphemism for any negative remark. human potential is undoubtly huge. and so i've learned. from someone who is very dear to me, my little sister dids.
i've never known her to become a leader let alone be able to organise a homestay event and speak in front of many. but she did it and she enjoyed it. though come to think of it, her nursery teacher did call her 'bossy boots' back then. maybe her teacher knew her better than we did. Alhamdulillah, her talent.
i've also learned so much from a sister. an older sister who's close in my heart. who always puts others in front of herself. though her tribulations are more than one could imagine. and ongoing. she keeps on fighting every minute of every day.
she is an inspiration, even if one might not say it out loud to her. her efforts spell it out.
even in the deepest trench, she thinks as a Muslimah. what could be more inspiring?
may Allah make us servants who live under His blessing in every inch insyaAllah.

hak
bismillah.
kerana setiap org itu ada haknya, seperti juga setiap huruf hija'iyyah yang mempunyai makhrajnya yang tersendiri.
dari al-jauf, asy-syafatain, al-halqum, al-lisan
hak yang perlu kita tunaikan, sebaik yang mungkin.
وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآَنَ تَرْتِيلً
and recite the Qur’an slowly and distinctly. (73:4)
agar kalimah-kalimah yang kita baca tepat maknanya, juga sama sebagaimana Rasulullah menyebutnya. ayat-ayat yang dibacakan kepada kaum Musyrikin, kepada kaum Muslimin adalah ayat-ayat yg sama yang kita bacakan hari ini. merpakan mukjizat utama Rasulullah dalam menyampaikan Islam.
seperti itu juga pentingnya kita menunaikan hak-hak org di sekeliling. kerana pada dasarnya adalah menunaikan hak kita kepada Allah. untuk hidup sebagai hambaNya. bukan hidup memenuhi nafsu sendiri insyaAllah.

which suggests that we should always have good opinions on our brothers and sisters. or the term we are more familiar with, husnuzhon. ;)

today, i'm going to write about podocytes. the other day, our lecturer mispelled it on his slides to po0docytes. that was funny. hehe. try saying it. sorry for the weird opening sentences, but this is not what the main idea is about.
back to the point, for some of you who might have not taken bio in IB/Alevels/matrics/college, podocytes are the small cells sticking onto the blood vessels in the nephron (kidneys).
i'll show you a picture of it. (courtesy of uncle Google)
although they might look like creepy crawlies or the bad pirate squid guy in Pirates of the Caribbean, i find these guys are quite fetching. don't you think so? and probably our admiration in any creations on this earth should be attributed to Allah. subhanAllah.
research shows that these podocytes actually run along the blood vesels and sits themselves on a spot and then cleanse the blood vessel wall by a mechanism called (i can't remember) let's just call it flushing. basically, underneath the podocytes is the subpodoctes space (SPS). fluid from inside the blood vessel will move out to the SPS then move back into the blood vessel. and that is how the podocytes cleanses the vessel wall, which is very important because our vessel wall in the kidneys are what is used to filter our blood from foreign/toxic stuff. so its important to make sure the filter itself is clean. so after that part is clean, the podocytes will then move to another spot, and do the same thing. does it make sense to you? or maybe i'm just making sense to myself. haha. sorry! -_-;
comel kan Allah's creation? pakcik2 podocytes tiny yg byk berjasa. subhanAllah. and the same goes to our hearts. it's important for us to cleanse it from time to time. if our heart is what we use to filter the right from wrong, it definitely has to be kept clean. from dosa, from disease (penyakit hati..hehe), and make it sparkling clean insyaAllah.
let's start our spring cleaning iAllah! ;D

i need a quick fix.

a bit of newsflash from home: adah is now a mother! and so young..my 10 year old sister is now a proud mother of 2 rabbits. combi and comba. and this weekend she's gone off to kem fatayat leaving her babies with their grans. apparently she's the new popular kid on the block because of her new rabbit babies. hmm. i wonder if my pet rabbit that i let out the cage once will ever come back.

bismillah.
it's been a while since i've written. i've been pondering silently and soothing out my heart from a small tear. and Alhamdulillah, i think its slowly healing. :)
this week, i've managed to catch my breath from the hospital work. we, the 3rd years have been banned from the wards to give way for 5th years long cases. although, i am losing out on potential patients to clerk, the positive side is there will be no more vicious fighting with 5th years for patients after this since they'll be gone. GONE i tell you. yeah, off to somewhere exotic for their electives.
so, that's that. and my formative long case is tomorrow. NOOOOO~ i hate oral assessments. hat with a capital H and an e added at the end. Hate!
right, enough with the so called therapeutic rambling. i've been listening to a few talks to fill in the unusually abundant free time i have at home. i've been listening to talks on TED and BBC. the TED one was about balancing life and work, while the BBC was slightly more serius topic which is moderation in islamic countries of something like that. and i came to a conclusion. my lessons for this week:
1. work for your own sake and compete your own self. (not forgetting, lillahita'ala.) thing is, most of us have different ways of learning, different working ethics, different ideas and values. which makes no sense to do it some other person's way if our capabilities are different. and also, i think the healthiest form of competition is with one self. cause there won't be any judgement or animosity towards others.
*note to self: please think about what i want to be which i still don't have the foggiest!* growing up is so difficult.
2. an individual's stand does not represent a whole nations stand. 2 things i want to stress is the ability to make peace with one's decision, which might not be agreeable with others, and also the importance of tarbiyah. or education instead of imposing. (i was taken aback when Msia's PM mentioned about it. hihi, in a good way.) and also on this topic, would i be mean to laugh at Rosmah's statement? hihi.
3. my iman needs ignition. it's been 2 weeks i haven't given proper usrah. and on that note, i musn't forget my homework as well..
4. in love with this nasyid. luvit luvit luvit! xx
please pray to Allah, for my long case tomorrow. thanks!

(They do not see that) this writing of their hands will bring woe to them and what they gain thereby will lead to their ruin.
4. in love with this nasyid. luvit luvit luvit! xx
please pray to Allah, for my long case tomorrow. thanks!

bismillah,
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ
9:111 Indeed Allah has bought from the Believers their persons and their possessions in return for the Gardens...
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ
9:111 Indeed Allah has bought from the Believers their persons and their possessions in return for the Gardens...
The transaction mentioned in v. 111 is concerning the voluntary surrender of this freedom to Allah's Will. In other words, Allah wills to test man whether he acknowledges the ownership of Allah over his life and property, in spite of that freedom, and considers himself to be their trustee only, or behaves as if he were their owner and so could do whatever he liked with them. (Abul Ala al-Maududi)
Sebagaimana anda menyebut org yg menguasai tanah org lain tanpa hak sbg perampas, maka demikian pula halnya, anda akan disebut perampas bila anda menganggap pemberian Allah sbg milik anda sendiri dan mempergunakannya menurut kemauan anda sendiri atau kemauan org lain, selain Allah. (Syed Qutb, Manhaj Islam)

salam.
feels like it's been ages since i last blogged. am so knackered doing this rotation. but i saw a lap chole today, on screen and it was the highlight of my day. yep, being the pathetic med student. even a virtual surgery would do.
when i was in primary, we had to ask muallimah's permission whenever we needed to be excused to go to the loo. "muallimah, uridu an azhabu ila dauratul miyah". "na'am" muallimah will say. dauratul miyah = toilet. daurah = toi. ngehe..my tired mind still has some energy left to go down the joking route. the point i'm making is, i think i learnt quite a lot from the latest daurah. (or that is what i think). hm. maybe i do need to read more stuff.
on this special day of Prophet Muhammad's birth day peace be upon him, let us salawat and try our best to become this selfless incredible man Allah has sent down to us as guidance. this man, who even on his death bed was putting others in front of himself, when the last words he spoke were, "ummati, ummati, ummati." and if he was only doing da'wa to for jannah, he was already promised jannah before he passed away. and that would have probably stopped him from continuing da'wa. instead, he didn't stop for that but lived his life's cause for Allah's sake (read: mardhatillah) entwined with deep concern for the betterment of the human race.
AllahummasallialasayyidinaMuhammad.
may we work to become a better ummah, lillah. insyaAllah.

bismillah,
due to the stress of staring at the biliary tree, pictures of jaundiced chaps and whatnot, i decided to turn my attention to a supposedly less straining activity. indulging in the fun and wonderful blogosphere.
so. what have i been up to today? saw some colonoscopies, gastroscopies, sigmoidoscopies and photocopies. ha-ha. *okay, i'll stop with the silly jokes. Alhamdulillah, i think today was quite a good day. but i didn't manage to talk to Abah. it's his 50th birthday today. may Allah bless Abah. aside from that, the day's been pretty productive. i even made some mac & cheese for my packed lunch tomorrow. the severe slacker has now transformed into a mild slacker. ngehe.
right, i went through this ayat recently,

right, i went through this ayat recently,
وَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَإِذَا سَجَدُوا فَلْيَكُونُوا مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ وَلْتَأْتِ طَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَى لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ وَدَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِنْ مَطَرٍ أَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَى أَنْ تَضَعُوا أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ وَخُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُهِينًا
this is solat al-khawf which means performing solat when in fear or danger. so this is how Rasulullah & sahabat were to solat in battles. and it amazes me. one thing, is how closely Rasulullah & sahabah protect they prayers, even under death threats they still perform solat. the second thing, how they perform the solat in congregation. so, there's no reason to miss solat. and, to try solat berjamaaaa-ah.
learning points for me:
1. priorities, priorities, priorities. set your priorities!
2. hamasah syabab. stories about battles always makes me fired up. i remember watching the Lord of the Rings battle scenes feeling all bright eyed. i love them, thing is, i'm not sure if i am able to be tested being in any of these positions. yet(?). but, while we're still young, and cheerful (ha-ha) let's put our heads, hearts and energy for the ummah. people always say, 'siapa lg yg nk buat kerja kalau bukan golongan muda'. and i felt that was a bit cliche. now, my mature self is telling me, that is true and if i don't grab on to the escalator it might just leave me behind. blink-blink-blink. 40 years from now and i look back and think. ah! whatever happened to my strong body and 6 pack abs. and what have i done with all that energy? and then only to realise that it was all a waste of young, bright and cheerful energy drained into enjoying life and watching telly. sobs. sobs.
alright, my mind's content poured out in a few minutes.
"things you can't change, find ways to enjoy it. things that you can change, try your best to be better." -nmj
yes, you may go like this 0_o "what, that is so not a good quote". i forgive you.

bismillah,
salam my fellow minions, ;)
Alhamdulillah for all that He allows us to taste and breath and try and fail and try again and again for His sake. to be living under the clouds of Iman and Islam while outside, there is the cold monsoon hurricany like weather. with turmoils happening in several parts of the world. an uprising as some may say. i'm able to sit by the corner with a fully functioning radiator, fluffy pink hearty slippers on, and a satisfied tummy filled with breakfast. Allah. ar-Rahman. ar-Rahim.
if anyone's been noticing my lack of nonsensical entries, it is due to the unimaginably horrifying timetable i have for my medsurg block. i started my new surgery rotation last week. hihi, which in the deepest darkest corners of the four chambers of my heart i truly enjoy. i really do like surgery, i think being a surgeon is as close as to being an artist. but. BUT. BUT an ENT surgeon asked me a question the other day that made me double check myself. 'do you want to have a family?' she asked. i said, 'yeah' (insyaAllah, in my heart) and then she....hmm, ah, thinking about this is taking too much of my brain's processing power..malasla.
ok, yesterday usrah with my 'beloveds'. huhu. very the mushy2..uhibbuhunna lillah insyaAllah. it is plainly obvious i am not the most wise, just and everything nice a naqibah should be, but they still accept me as i am. i hope Allah can forgive my weaknesses and shortcomings. here's a hadith to make your day,
“If Allah would love his servant He would call Archangel Gabriel and tell him “I love this person, therefore love him.” And Jibraeel would love him and call out in the heavens “Allah loves this person, therefore love him.” And the inhabitants of the heavens would love him. Then he would be embraced by the people of this world. But if Allah would abhor his servant, He would call Jibraeel and tell him “I abhor this person, therefore abhor him”. And Jibraeel (AS) would abhor him and call out in the heavens “Allah abhors this person, therefore abhor him.” And the inhabitants of the heavens would abhor him. Then he would be abhorred by the people of this world.” (Muslim)
a quick question, what would bring Allah to love us aside from His other servants?
all the people pleasers out there, have a great relationship with Allah then, you'll find people having a good relationship with you. but again, don't do it for the niat of pleasing people. ;p
let's devote our love to Allah before any human, or any possession! ;)
have a peaceful saturday iA,

bismillah.
salam, may Allah grant us peace and blessings insyaAllah.
ayat of the today,
يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّهَا إِنْ تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ 31:16
(Luqman said): “Son, Allah will bring forth* everything even if it be as small as the grain of a mustard seed even though it be hidden inside a rock or (anywhere) in the heavens or earth. Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
so, what have I learnt? biji sawi is mustard seed in English. hehe. this is a picture of the famous mustard seed. ala2 kacang dal ke? honestly, i've never encountered biji sawi in life. hmm,
i wonder why mustard seed was used, aside from its size.
* That is, "Nothing can escape Allah's knowledge and His grasp. A seed in the rock may be hidden for you, but it is known to AIIah. A particle in the heavens may be very distant for you, but for AIIah it is very near. A thing lying in the layers of the earth may be lying in darkness for you but for him it is in full light. Therefore, you cannot do anything good or bad, anywhere or any time, which may remain hidden from AIIah. He is not only aware of it, but when the time for accountability coms, He will place before you a full record of each act of yours. " - Abul a'al al-Maududi's translation
accountability, an emphasis in Islam compared to other religions, particularly Chritianity. a concept that is easy to understand, a good act, will be rewarded with pahala, a bad act will be rewarded with a punishment. Adil isn't it? to take it a step further, if we already know this fact, why are we limiting ourselves in doing good, when we don't know when our time will be up?
just to remind myself, never to feel complacent or satisfied with the amount of amal we're doing. just compare ourselves to Rasulullah and see how far apart we are from him. or even how we're trailing far behind his companions. Munirah said something about some US business companies comparing among themselves for improvement, but their improvement was about the same. and there's this one Japanese company who had a massive improvement because it compared itself to the 100% standard. maybe, that's our way forward?
the world is our oyster. mari beramal insyaAllah.

of crazy rants
hi, salaaaaam... Alhamdulillah just finished my exam. as much as i hate viva exams i had to do it. humph. and as much as i know i am not a smartie pants, i still act like one. i am the top-notch slacker. and just barely realising it, throughout 23 years of my life, Allah has helped me a lot through it all. Alhamdulillah again. because the nagging of my seniors and the stress i get from my housemates who are study addicts, i started to work hard (okay, maybe not as hard for anyone's standard) for this exam. after 23 years of living, i just realised it feels good to actually try as best as i could and leave the rest to Allah.
so maybe after this, i should work harder. especially if i still want to be an orthopod/rheumatologist sometime in the future insyaAllah. my new aim for the new 23 year old me. hehe, i'm just rubbing in it aren't i? for those of you who forgot, i just had my birthday, but it was near the exams so i couldn't care less. so now, since i'm free for a bit, i shall start my endeavor on reaping my presents from people nearby. you know who you are...hahaha~ (evil laugh)
p/s: i'm sorry, pardon this entry. this is the best that could come out from a famished crazy person living in the huge, cold, dark house alone waiting for her housemates to come back from their trip. Allah, tunjukkanlah dia jalan yg terang dan lurus. Amin.
a clue on who might this person be.....
Boo!

salaaam..
I've been at home today, but Allah, have i learnt and seen loads. or to be exact, READ loads. i spent a whole day reading a story book which is not very smart of me since my exams is in 2 days time. phew? i hated that book, but i kept on reading, i kept on going through every word and flipping through each page. only to have my hopes crushed in the end. its quite ironic when i think about it again, hoping that there would be a happy ending at the end, which was the thing that kept me going, but the same hope again was the reason that got me disturbed when it didn't end the way i'd liked.
and i thought, what are humans without hope? we hope for every single thing in life, we hope to have a job, a family of our own one day, a day to have a good day at the hospital. hope to have friends who would understand us. hope for a great life.
and there, and then is what separates us from the normal people who hope. because our hopes is also accompanied by prayers. and our prayers are not just words or hymns but is our faith, woven with love, hope and fear to Allah. and what strengthens our hope is by knowing that Allah's promise is not just an average promise but a promise from the Most High.
Ibn Taymiyah (May Allah have mercy on him) said “If the kings knew the happiness and pleasure that we feel in our hearts, they would come and try to take it away from us with the tips of their swords.”
