Black out

The whole campus of MMU experienced a black out yesterday night.

I was praying for Maghrib and decided to do solat taubat as well. Just as I was about to solat taubat the electric power died!
It was scary. I was scared not of the dark but of Allah S.W.T. and my hands were shaking.
I guess there is still TOO much for me to learn... but learn i shall...

Last night (even during the black out), tyrah and I went to usrah Wi'da. It was nice.
I loved the part we all did zikir together... I use to do zikir everday in Khidmat Negara. It was nice.
During my highschool and juniour years I was not taught so much about Islam...and I always forget those things that I am taught. Sometimes I feel so ignorant that I feel that others are looking down on me. It is sad to feel such shame upon oneself. But I will learn. I know I don't have much determination now but I shall learn slowly.

My eyes hurt like crazy last night. All the flashlights and camera flash.
During the wi'da we had an exchange gift activity. I received a bunch of cadbury dairy milk and I gave two boxes of beryl chocolate (strawberry choco and dark mint choco).

When I was about to reach for the name of the person I was to give the gift to I had a feeling it was going to be bg pejal. And I was right. Sometimes I wonder if I'm psychic! hahaha. Last time I had this feeling too but when I try make assumptions during real life situation it always seem to be the opposite. Why? But when I make assumptions on small things they seem to be correct. WEIRDness.

Anyway, the Wi'da programme was nice and after the event tyrah and I returned to our houses and went to sleep.

I Lost

I Lost the Battle.
But I will win this war.

I lost to those feelings...
I will lose to my promise...
I will lose the challenge for today And reflect on what went wrong...

And then I will start again and continue to charge forward.

FAR way to go

WE still have a long way to go.

FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting) assignment is completed. 5 more to go.
Alhamdulillah tyrah and I had the energy to finish our last minute assignment.
I am still amazed that we finished our work in a matter of two days (typing, editing and printing) and one day research at the library.
Amazing really...
I even slept on the living room floor last night... Was working on the project till 3:30am and fell asleep right there on the floor. Thank God we woke up early and completed the project.
Its amazing what one cup of coffee and a few chocolate and coffee beans (actual coffee beans) can do to you... AS you can see in my previous post, I was a tad bit mad at that time...

AND Thank God we made it on time.
I am so happy with our work. And luckily we had time to double check our work and make sure eveything was alright.
Next we need to tackle MA, Macro, Jap, Chinese and AIS.
FUN!

Oh well... This bliss wont last forever. Going rest while I can.
I got a headache at the moment... Hope it goes away.

All the best to all my coursemates! Lets bring this assignments down babeh!

Now to go meditate on happy thoughts before I tackle the assignments...

Chao~

Reality is a pain in the ass...

I was hurt

I was hurt but not anymore,
If you dont want to be friends,
just walk out that door.

Random thoughts:

Why is it that in the moment of insanity and depression I feel so alone?

Why do I feel the way I feel?

Why do I feel tired?

Why? Why? Why?

Allah S.W.T. I need You so much. Whether in joy and in pain I need You.

Sebak terasa di hati bila tiba waktu kawan mula membenci. Bila terpaksa berpisah dengan yang dicintai dan bila dicabar oleh dunia ini.
Namun itu semua lumrah dunia dan aku sebagai hambaMu akan redha.
Sudah dua kali ku terasa dibenci dan ia masih terasa sama.
Biarlah berapa kali pun aku dibenci, hatiku akan terasa perasaan sama selalu.
Sepatutnya aku dah faham dan sepatutnya aku dah biasa. Namun tetap terasa kerana aku hanyalah insan yang biasa.

Esok bermulanya hari yang baru dan akanku terus maju.

Terus maju ke arah yang diredhaiMu....

I recieved a message. I was tricked but you didn't realize how hurt and embarassed you made me feel.

Lunch

I'm not feeling too well... I don't think its fever or flu... Just very very very exhausted....
What is wrong with my body??

Here is what I had for lunch today....


Sambal udang made by me....


Fried ladies finger... I don't remember it's malay name...


Bubur halia


My overall lunch!


The tea and halia really hits the spot... My body still feels heavy but at least I don't feel faint anymore... My hand is still swollen due to archery but at least its not so purple anymore.. More like blue with purple dots... I hope it gets better. It looks ugly... huhuhu.

Something to remember

Something to remember now and always.

"Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm... where is my Quran?.

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Quran being disconnected

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!."

Thanks so much!

Yes... to go back we had to climb back down this thing... my slippers had an extra layer of red mud. hahaha.

~owari

p.s.
In this world we always try to compete with each other and we hurt each other in order to gain fame and power. But what we don't realize is if we worked together we achieve greater heights. What is so glorious about achieving greatness when no one respects you?

I realize something about myself. I am not patient. Especially when it comes to teaching. It's not because I hate teaching and it's not because I don't want to share my knowledge... It's something that happens automatically. That is why I avoid teaching others. I will try to change this bad attribute of mine.
Another reason I sometimes avoid teaching others is because some of the people who ask for my help wants me to do their questions for them or they want to copy my work. That is something I dislike. I can explain things to you but the answer you will have to look for yourself.
I don't like it when people ask for my assistance just to use me.

Please understand that friends are a willing helpers when you ask nicely and thank graciously. Not when you command them and then ungratefully scold them. I hate people who act like dictators and don't ask the opinion of others. Murder is one thing but oppression will push people to do far worst than murder. See what happened in Afganistan and Iraq.
Why do you think they resort to terrorism? Do you think they ENJOY killing themselves?
The only reason they do this is to give voice to their frustration and anger.
And why do you think they are angry?
Because of oppression.
Please cherish your friends.
Do not neglect their feelings.
We stay friends because we cherish and respect each other.
We become enemies when we disrespect others.

Another thing I hate is disrespect to women. I have a classmate who treats my girlfriends with disrespect. Maybe my friends don't care about the way they are treated. But I can't tolerate this type of men. Is this what you call open minded? To accept it when people ridicule you? To accept it when the verbally sexual harrass you?
I don't think so.
He put his hands around my friend when she told him she doesn't like it, he says my friend's face looks like a pig when she laughs in front of other people and he openly stared at my friend's breast and said he wanted to see her in bikini?! WTF?! If he said or did this to me I would have punched him! Seriously I would.

You can call me closed minded or whatever. See if I care. If being open minded means getting myself disrespected as a woman, then I rather not be open minded.

Mukhayyam-A Journey

Yes... Much as it was, it was a journey to self discovery...
(ayat tak boleh blah.)

Anyway... There was much that I realized and remembered about myself that day.
I remembered how to be more open, to not care about what others think of me and i remembered why I am in this world.

Siapakah aku? Hanya seorang hamba dari-Nya.
Who am I? I am but a servant of Allah S.W.T..

Aku datang dari mana? Aku datang dari Dia.
Where did I come from? I came from Him.

Aku sekarang di mana? Aku sekarang di dunia ciptaan Allah S.W.T..
Where am I now? I am in a world that He Created.

Aku ini milik siapa? Aku ini milik Allah S.W.T..
Who do I belong to? I belong to Him and Him alone.

Aku nak kemana? Aku nak kembali ke sisi Dia.
Where am I headed? I am headed to His side.

Apa bekalan yang akan ku bawa? Akan ku bawa bekalan pahala dan perbuatan-perbuatan yang diredhai-Nya.
What will I bring before Him? I will bring good deeds before Him.



Our amazing faci~ even tho we slept late, they slept even more late! which is kinda amazing and I respect the effort they put into the event for us.


Ceh. the winning team. ceh ceh ceh (ini lah sikap tak puas hati terhadap kejayaan org lain... anak-anak sila jangan mencontohi sikap nenek ini ya...)


Ultra team! go go go (the first team to lose! AWESOME)
We take winning in a glorious stride!


Sembahyang lah anda sebelum anda disembahyangkan. I always loved sembahyang jemaah. Even though its hot sometimes notice how we always stay close together and how we all pray close to each other. This brings us together and Insya-Allah our hearts together.


The AWESOME (favourite word right at the moment) MIST! It was in one word EPIC!
It was cold but it reminded me of Mt. K. I miss it so! K-san!!!!!!!!!



Yes... This is what the tag is used for. If we try to run away the faci will notice and grab hold.
hahahahaha



LDK (Latihan dalam Kumpulan).
=___=" reminds me to the good old days in Khidmat Negara.


Posing for a pic after a short hike on the hill. alallaa
Adyla tgh budget comel. hahaha


Yet another scene of the AWESOME mist.


Yes another LDK... We are teamed up and told to plan out our master plan to world domination... ahem...I mean.... ahem...... to solve the problem the gave us.. ahem ahem.


Presenting..... (drum rolls).... mahjong paper!
(clap clap clap)


Think hard... think real hard.... we should put up banners and balloons after our world domination... ahem... ahem...


Ok... seriously all we did was wrote down solutions for the problems that the faci threw at us...
One of them was a question on whether Physical or Mental strength is more important.
Of course I agree on Mental but we cannot leave out that Physical strength does has its effect on our Mental Capabilities.
So I guess it's kinda like a draw between the two... although I would still stick to Mental strength.hehe

Mukhayyam-Arrival

We all assembled at the Cyberjaya Mosque.
After our Isyak prayers we were of to our destination.
Destination: Sungai Lui, Ulu Langat.

During the ride I was feeling really really uncomfortable. I felt like vomiting...
Before we reached our location we had to climb up this...

But of course that time it was at around 10 pm and we couldnt see our surroundings that well...
When we reach the dorm we were told to gather at the hall... and leave our stuff at the dorm.

After everyone has gathered at the hall, we had an ice breaking session.... here are the pics.



Arranging the surah activity.


Our camp comander and ustaz khair.

From left to right:
Nasuha, Athirah, Adibah, Ieda, Nazirah, Nurul and Suhaidah.
Of course the one in front does not require any introductions. right?

After the ice breaking session we all went to sleep... at 3am...
and woke up at 5am...

Against Child Abuse

This is a sad poem. Coming from a loving family I cannot imagine how it's like to live the way anyone like Chris had too. I despise child abuse. I hope after reading this poem you will start to think before you raise your hand or voice against a child. If you don't know how to take care of yourself don't raise a family. People like that don't deserve children.
Nothing makes it right to abuse children. Nothing.



My name is Chris

I am three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't do a wrong

I can't speak at all

Or else im locked up

All day long.

When im awake im all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe i'll just get

One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's bar.

I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall

I try to hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry

He finds me weeping

Calls me ugly words,

He says its my fault

He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And run to the door

He's already locked it

And i start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken,

"I'm sorry!", I scream

But its now much to late

His face has been twisted

Into a unimaginable shape

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

O please God, have mercy!

O please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door

While i lay there motionless

Brawled on the floor

My name is chris

I am three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.


And if you read this

Please pass it on,

And because you are effected,

Do something about it!

So all I ask you to do

Is pass this on!

If you're against child Abuse.

Girls Be ambitous

When we jump into the world,
People say were just crazy.
Defy the society,
Thats what I'd wanna do.
Come on girls,
Dont say your scared.
Thats just dull.
You know what you want,
So why let others tie you down.

Don't be stupid because of love,
Don't be down because you're sad.
You're just giving excuses.

When you realize that's not all you ever had,
You know you can reach out,
Reach out to those feelings and stand proud.

You once said you aren't afraid.
Where did your courage go.
Be ambitous girls.
Cause then you'll know there's more to life
than the lies printed out before you.

Jump into this world.
The others are crazy for not trying.
Defy the society,
That's what I'll do.

Are you with me?

My interview

My interview was easier than i thought.
Alhamdulillah they didn't ask anything about general knowledge... I suck at that department.

Thank you so much to Acik Zaki who went with me and sent me to the place.
Love ya!

In the interview they just asked me my strength, weakness, experience and some other stuff.
Like Acik Zaki said, they just wanted to get to know our personality.
Next they will have one test and another interview.
If i get short-listed for those two.... my nerves will go crazy again. hahaha.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.
Especially to crazy, wern, acik zaki, tyrah, pejal and megat.

Now I have to concentrate on assignments.

My hand was in SO much pain yesterday night.
I wish i was at home. If i were at home I'm sure my family would have done something to ease my pain. I was so confused on how to cure it.
See, I was chopping some chilli's for the sambal i wanted to make.
Because i didn't wore any gloves my hand was exposed.
It was horrible!
It felt like my skin was burning. I even cried.
It was so painful. I had to put my hand in a bucket with ice.
Then i put on bedak sejuk to cool it.
Even though tyrah said my hands were cold to me it felt like it was very hot.
I've learnt my lesson.
NEVER cut chilli padi without gloves! Expecially when you are cutting a lot of them.
If i had a blender this wouldnt occur in the first place. hahaha.
All this pain... just for sambal. LOL!
It better taste good...
else all my pain was for naught.

Can you imagine your hand in pain from 11:30 pm all the way to 4am?!
It was hell.... I was so sleepy! In the end I tried to ignore my pain by watching some drama....
And it kinda worked. haha.
Watching good drama and movies always makes me feel better. Plus I chowed down a lot of chocolate to help me forget about the pain.
So.... Chocolate+drama= best pain killers ever!
Say no to panadol! WOOT WOOT!

Thats all for now....

It is my heart

It is my heart that decided on this journey.
I shall not back down nor will i cower and hide.
If it displeases you, then you may leave.
But if you stay, don't think I'll let you do to me as you please.

This road isn't easy nor do I hate it.
So you either stay and walk beside me,
Or just go and abandon me.

I don't care if i have to walk on this journey alone.
I know I've got God by myside.
And my family in my heart.

Where you failed me as a friend,
That's where my family tried again and again.

Even if you say I'm blind and naive.
Even if i have to crawl on my hand and feet.
I wont let you see my pain
and i will continue this journey till the end.

Got a problem with me?
See if I care.

Want to bring me down?
I'll make you sorry you even dared.

So once again I repeat what I've said
It is my HEART that decided on this journey
And I swear not you or anyone will dare cross me.

Malacca Pictorial Visit























chao

Malacca Historical City

I went to Malacca for 4 days.
Was going to visit my dear friends and buy my chinese textbook.
On the first day we (Tyrah & I) arrived, it was already evening.
We went to MBO in Malacca Mall and watched "Jangan Tegur".
To me the movie was so so. I'm not easily frightened by ghost movies. I'm more scared of thrillers like SAW 1,2,3,4 and 5. So to me the movie was quite ok. Not so scary and not so boring.

The next day Tyrah and I spent our day inside campus. We went to Plaza Siswa and ate breakfast and then had lunch at Batavia (used to be R & R).
After that we went over to Fana's apartment in the evening. That night we went to watch confession of a shopoholic. I was a refreshing movie. Very funny and cute. And I loved the guy in the movie (especially his voice). ^^
We had dinner at Al-Amin. The food was "Sweet". Syam! The nasi kerabu was sweet.... :P

The following day, we went to Jusco.
When I called josh he told me he would call later.
When he called back I was going to invite him out with us.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood my meaning josh.
But when I called I said "Hello Mr Lau" and you replied "What?!"
And your tone sounded less than friendly.
I assumed you were not interested in talking with me or you hated me or something.
So instead of inviting you I just mentioned that we were going out.
I thought if you were interested you would say "Where? I wana go too"
But instead you just said "So?"
I think you were in a mood or something so i was afraid to disturb you any further.
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
Continuing the story...
We went to Jusco and we had lunch at Malacca Mall.
While eating lunch we watched a tv show.
It was a documentary.
I was shocked to find out that French residents get free Medical care and school for their children. Mothers after labour get nursing help from government workers.
It was truly shocking. How much their government do for it's citizen.
I can't say the same for my country's government.
The interviewer in the documentary asked a man "Don't you mind that the money you paid for your taxes are going to strangers you don't even know?"
Then the man replied "I don't mind at all. Because I know if any misfortune should happen to me, they would do the same for me."
That was so utterly touching I almost cried.
Yes. This is how a nation should be.

After lunch I went to the Popular bookstore in Jusco in search of my Chinese textbook.
I was very dissapointed when I did not get the aforementioned textbook.
SO very dissapointed and pissed off.
Grr... And in saying so I went to the arcade and played Taiko and some shooting game.
While I was playing one of the shooting games, a guy walked up and played with me.
Shocking isn't it? haha. Well it never occured to me before.
I played taiko till my hands hurt and until i finished up my tokens.
There was this cute boy who disturbed my game but i didn't mind at all (because he was cute ^^).
Instead I bought a novel by Stephanie Laurens "Where the Heart Leads" and Japanese grammar book.
That night we all met up with Josh and Nabil for dinner at Kedai Kuning. I love the otak2.
Thanks to nabil for paying the bill! Next time tell us earlier... So I can eat more. ngehehhe

The next day Tyrah and I ate breakfast at Ixora foodcourt. I had Ayam Penjet and cendol whilst tyrah ordered mee goreng.
Then I met up with wern wern. She gave me my belated birthday gift! I was happy to receive it. Thanks wern. I also gave her her gift... It was a book title "The little princess" and a little glass bottle with sand.
That sand is from the beach back in my hometown.
Hope with this you'll always have a part of your favourite things always near you.
Loves!
Then Mira and Fana came and took us to Malacca Central. Thanks so much to Mira for driving and thanks to Fana as well!
Then at 1pm we departed to return to Cyberjaya Hell. JAJAJAJAJA.

~owari

LIES

I feel like sometimes we lie because we know we have no place to tell the truth.
I know if you heard the truth you will be hurt and most probably hate me...
So i lie and feel the pain myself.
One hurt is better than two.
I will bear it myself. I'm strong enough.

If i lie... would your burden lessen?
I don't want you to lie to me when you are in pain.

But I will lie to you.... so you won't hear my pain.

Gaza charity dinner


t

b
u



















Im too tired to write much.... So i will only upload the pics. SAVE GAZA!
Before you judge someone's action, think about it first.
Imagine living where they are living now. It's nothing short of hell.
Losing a love one every few weeks, fearing for your life every second, straining your ears and eyes for danger and clutching on to live for a life that feels hopeless.
If i were to live in that kind of place, even living would seem tiring and meaningless.


p.s. I had a some thoughts that night. Conclusion = I really can't mix with people. Every now and then we have those moments in life where we live in confusion, self doubt and worry. I am sick of tired of having those moments

Swollen


When I woke up this morning one of my eyes were swollen.
Did I punch myself in my sleep?

Blind Eyes, Beautiful Heart

"The world is full of blind and ignorant people.
However, at certain times the heart helps us see what really matters in life."

Here is a story that I received from a dear friend who said "it's too beautiful not to share".
Thanks for sharing it with me Wern.
It is beautiful.

A Story to live by

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'


One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.


He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.
The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.


Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'


This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.


Life Is a Gift


Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.


Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.


Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.


Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.


Before you complain about your children - Think of someone whodesires children but they're barren.


Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.


Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.


And when you are tired and complain about your job Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.


But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.


And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.


====================================================

I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...


Sometimes when we have achieved greatness and all the blessings in life, we tend to forget how difficult it is for others and complain.

I'm sorry I complained a lot lately. To those who had to listen to my selfishness, thank you for being there for me and not condemning me. Love you all.
I know my life isn't as difficult as others but I am only human and I feel how others feel.
Thank you for sticking with me.
I'm ok now. I won't lose myself again.
