assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

look at how these verses from the Noble Quran are arranged, SubhanAllah,

17. Maka apakah mereka tidak memperhatikan unta bagaimana dia diciptakan,
18. Dan langit, bagaimana ia ditinggikan?
19. Dan gunung-gunung bagaimana ia ditegakkan?
20. Dan bumi bagaimana ia dihamparkan?
21. Maka berilah peringatan, karena sesungguhnya kamu hanyalah orang yang memberi peringatan.

I'm sure it sounds amazing to your ears too, right?

I can only imagine how beautiful it is when recited in Arabic, a language that I do not speak at all.

Allah knows Best

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I saw on the television tonight that the 1st group of Malaysian has arrived safely in Mekah. Alhamdulillah. I should be envious, though the feeling isn't so obvious at the moment. I still remember the day my parents went off to Mekah the 2nd time in perhaps early 2000, I felt a little distressed having them leaving us, albeit temporarily.

They must have felt the same I suppose. Leaving the ones that they love so adorely, the ones that they raised from day 1 to where and what we are now. Alhamdullilah, Allah knows Best.

'La Tahzan' or Jangan Bersedih as mentioned in the Noble Quran. We feel sad inappropriately at times. These people in Mekah are performing the 5th pillar of Islam.

Alhamdulillah, should everything be accepted by Allah, The Most Gracious the Most Merciful, the selected people will go to heaven.

These people are doing good deeds.

6. Hai manusia, sesungguhnya kamu telah bekerja dengan sungguh-sungguh menuju Tuhanmu, maka pasti kamu akan menemui-Nya.[1565]

7. Adapun orang yang diberikan kitabnya dari sebelah kanannya,

8. maka dia akan diperiksa dengan pemeriksaan yang mudah,

9. dan dia akan kembali kepada kaumnya (yang sama-sama beriman) dengan gembira.

Are we in this group above. Many, including me, are taking for granted that tomorrow will come. We do this everyday. We see this day everyday. That unfortunate Chinese girl lost her eyesight in a split second. 1 was happy the day before raya, n barely a week after it, everything went upside down.

No one can promise you the next day will come.

Quran has nicely reminded us

21. Maka berilah peringatan, karena sesungguhnya kamu hanyalah orang yang memberi peringatan. (88. Al Ghaasyiyah)

I would gladly accept any guidance to make me feel the purpose of life. We keep on sinning, we keep on looking for entertainment, we constantly look for this and that to fill on the empty heart of ours. I can feel it, so it does to everyone I am sure.

I know the Judgment Day will come, but why am I acting as if it will not? I don't want to be in this group,

12. Dan, jika sekiranya kamu melihat mereka ketika orang-orang yang berdosa itu menundukkan kepalanya di hadapan Tuhannya, (mereka berkata): "Ya Tuhan kami, kami telah melihat dan mendengar, maka kembalikanlah kami (ke dunia), kami akan mengerjakan amal saleh, sesungguhnya kami adalah orang-orang yang yakin."(32. As Sajdah)

I intent not to spread hatred to anyone. As I have said, if it means I have to swallow my pride, I will do it.

to the ones where bonds have broken, I ask for your forgiveness. Things may be not be the same anymore, but it doesn't have to be worse. Right?

Berlari.

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I thought I was losing sleep again last night, but Allah is Almighty, He gave me 3 hours. Alhamdulillah.

Everyone that knows me well, knows I don't make enemies with anyone. I just don't. So for the best interest of everyone, I am willing to swallow my pride. Even if it makes me lose my sleep. Allah knows best, and I hope this will be rewarded in the Hereafter.

I wish everyone a good life. However you define it, it is always yours to decide.

Maybe what has happened is a reminder from Allah. I was aware what was wrong, but I could not help myself. I was weak. I led myself astray.

Perhaps it was because I stole somebody else's property. Now that it could well have been stolen again, I realise I am not perfect.

My brother in law wrote an article perfectly at the right time when I need it the most. Allah loves us all.

Hidup di dunia tidak lepas dari ujian dan dugaan dari Allah. Itu sudah menjadi rencah kehidupan manusia. Ada dua jenis bentuk ujian buat manusia, ujian dalam bentuk kesenangan dan ujian dalam bentuk kesusahan. Cuma, acapkali apabila disebut ujian Allah maka rata-rata manusia beranggapan ujian itu adalah dalam bentuk bala dan musibah. Ramai yang lupa akan ujian kesenangan yang datang dalam pelbagai bentuk kekayaan, kekuasaan, kesihatan dan bermacam-macam lagi. Bahkan ujian kesenangan sebenarnya lebih sukar kerana kebiasaannya manusia itu lupa kepada Tuhan tatkala dirinya mengecapi pelbagai kesenangan hidup. Apabila ditimpa kesusahan, kebanyakan manusia akan kembali menyeru Tuhannya.

Apakah ciri manusia yang sabar? Manusia yang sabar ialah mereka yang apabila ditimpa kesusahan akan segera ingat kepada Allah, dengan berkata, "Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'un," bahawa hidup kita ini secara keseluruhannya adalah hak milik mutlak Allah - apa sahaja yang kita miliki, baik harta, kuasa, bahkan nyawa kita dan orang-orang yang kita sayangi kesemuanya adalah hak milik Allah. Maka pastinya Allah berkuasa melakukan apa sahaja yang dikehendaki-Nya ke atas segala yang dimiliki-Nya, dan akan tiba masa dan ketika di mana kesemuanya akan dikembalikan kepada-Nya.

read more here, there's 1 beautiful story included.

yeah, perhaps it's my turn to be at the bottom now. Right when I am back on top, I shall not forget what has happened to me, InsyaAllah. I wish I can become a person that harbours no ill feelings towards not just anyone, but everyone.



At the moment, nobody knows me better than I do.

I will be better. I can do that.

Isn't it.By right.

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I am currently watching National Budget 2010 on RTM 1. They haven't mentioned yet any bonuses for the government staff members therefore I'll only wait for the summary on the newspaper tomorrow. Hehe..

I finally had a good sleep last night, though it lasted only for 4 hours. Alhamdulillah, I cherish that a lot. I believe I am on the right track to put the past behind, and ready to move on. Alhamdulillah again..

Sometimes, when things happen, we are only human beings that we tend to remember more of the bad things rather than good ones. Normal, is it not?

On another subject, I find this annoying and hmm, I don't know..these Malaysian doctors very more often than not use 'by right' and 'bla,bla,bla....isn't it'. Whatever they utter out, they will add up isn't it?

-They bla bla bla....isn't it
- you cannot do that, isn't it.
-bla,bla, bla isn't it.
-you don't know anything isn't it.
- by right you bla bla bla
- and by right by right by right

yeah, because they are seniors and they are so 'senior', you will become a yes man. Yes boss. Whatever they say is correct, and your job is to execute everything. You get no thank you for 99% of what you do, and for 0.0000005% that you might forget, you might get extended. Lol...

whatever.

Move on..

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I find it rather easy to say 'Be strong', or 'Sabarlah' to those who are in troubles. When you go through it, sometimes you will feel like slapping them on the face for saying that. Not that it isn't true, but I suppose in this difficult time, the majority would prefer to have some time and space alone. Or to have some listeners who would listen to your stories, though you know they can never give you any solution.

I guess what I am saying is be careful with your words to your friends okay..

I was going through Youtube and found Janet Jackson's 1997 chart topper - You Don't Know What You've Got till It's Gone. Goodness me, how I know she(JJ) is so right. I realise that it is too late, and if only I could turn back the time, then I would do it. Many things we take for granted, and Allah knows best, in a split of a second they are gone. If you are lucky enough, sometimes they come back to you. In my case, I can only hope.



When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

Being realistic, I have to move on with my life. Liverpool is losing, but their 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is always an inspiration.

I will come good, I promise.

straight je naaa..

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I never knew people were following my life so close. So close that many have actually predicted the outcome of whatever thing they were following. Yeah, so they were right.

A number of them are going through what I am going through. I suppose long distance has taken its toll, and many have succumbed to separation. Allah knows best.

I am now back in Kulim. Ben was asking 'are you homesick'?. Lol! Everyone is when all that matters is not around. I am closer to 26 hence I know better how to cope with it, and how to defeat it.

there will be no youtube video posted here this time. hehe..

I think I have come to terms with whatever that has come to me recently. I know what I want is not necessarily the best for me, and what I hate is perhaps good for me.


216. Diwajibkan atas kamu berperang, padahal berperang itu adalah sesuatu yang kamu benci. 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.

This verse has never failed to escalate my empty soul. I sort of know what is the purpose of life, but I need to feel it. At the moment I can't, therefore I need guidance. I have lead myself astray. I have done what I shouldn't have.


“Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): “Wahai hamba-hamba-Ku yang telah melampaui batas terhadap diri mereka sendiri (dengan perbuatan maksiat), janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah, kerana sesungguhnya Allah mengampunkan segala dosa; sesungguhnya Dialah jua yang Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.” (Surah al-Zumar: 53)

Allah, I stand before You asking for guidance. I frequently seek for You when only when I'm in troubles, and I know this is not right.

I need to start studying.

chin up

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I have recently started listening to the rock of 90's.



This song is not intended to anyone.

I love the part

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say
But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back


Hmm..sometimes life is like Semisonic's Closing time,every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.or is it the opposite way? whatever..

A better option

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

It was less than a month ago I came back home(KL). This time is partly for raya open houses, and more importantly a much needed break from the stress I am currently facing.

I am now@TTDI.

I look at my life again, since the age of 16, I have been away from family for academic reasons. First it was MRSM Pengkalan Chepa(good time), then KDU, IMU and New Zealand. Yes, yet again, I am 350km away from KL.

From KDU onwards, I have always been in a group where I am(therefore we are) the senior most Malay. We have no seniors to look up to. Time and time, a minority group of Malays will fall, but I have proven, time and time I have the capabilities to survive. I survived KDU. I survived IMU. I am proud(bukan riak) to be the only Malay to have graduated from Medical School in Auckland. Auckland's medical school at 2007 was ranked 2 no 18 worldwide.

Now I am in Kulim, being one of the 4 most senior HO's. I care not about the title. I only want to survive this 2 years. I have decided that I want to come back here to KL. This is home.

I've had enough of being away from KL. If I were to go for another stint somewhere else, let me come home for a year or 2. In worst case scenario, I'll just take a year off and survive on locum.
I miss this place.

I don't hate Kulim at all. Kulim is fine rapidly developing place. People are friendly,good food and beautiful waterfalls everywhere.

Even if KL is as bad as Perlis for e.g., KL is home. I am a true true true KL boy. I was born in Petaling Jaya, had my childhood both in Damansara Utama and TTDI.

I am not as depressed as psychiatric textbooks, but I am not 100% myself yet. I know I will come good.

that I would be good

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

there's little consolation to what has been fated, long before human was created. More to learn, although many lessons are learnt in hard ways.

I can be impatient at times, but I know hopefully I will come good.



Nothing's concluded, yet. 'Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone' I suppose?

I'm sure, in the future, there's more reason to smile when I look at the past. Only this impatience brings you down in the present.

Alanis' lyrics are outstanding that sometimes they help to comfort you. She's in her own league when it comes to lyrics.

Allah knows best.

Putaran Roda

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I have finally completed 6 days of fasting in Syawal. It feels good you know, it really does.

My life has been like a roller coaster lately. Perhaps Yuhana's facebook status is right,

'the higher u go, the harder u fall. but if it's worth it..i'll choose a crash landing anytime'

it is far from perfect. somehow it is not wrong. I have performed solat istikharah, and now I completely leave it to Allah to guide me to the best path, albeit painful.

Maybe the method was wrong, yes I admit it. Instead of leading to the correct way, I have lead you astray.

I mean not to stop you doing these activities. I know I promised you one last time, n I took it all away from you all in a sudden.

Let's manipulate Yuhana's status, undeniably a fall can be fatal. but who sets the rules that the higher u go you will fall? It can be ultimately satisying if you can reach the top right.

If you wish to speculate anything from what I've written above, please go ahead. This isn't easy to tell.

or perhaps, a serendipity in its own way?

assalamualaikum
