Freedom

Salam all...

Again, my brain is full of things to talk about. Let us talk about freedom. Well, each and every one of us has what's it called? Freedom of speech? Yeah. And freedom to do things (as long as it's not bad things). So, yeah, I think it's good. We can say what we want, do what we want. Sure.

Now lets look at the latest hot news. I don't want to say what news but you guys just take a guess. It's a horrible sight. People beating other people here and there, trashing things they come across...for what? Rights. So, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Who is the person responsible? Is it the leaders? Or is it the people?

If we want to change someone, first we have to have a good look at ourselves in the mirror. If we beat people up, give trouble to others and all, where's the rationality in it? How would people have faith in you? I believe if you do it the right way, in peace, maybe you can get something out of it.

What is the meaning of a 'leader'?

Reported by Ali r.a, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said:

Knowledge is my principal possession.  Reason, the root of my religion. Love, my foundation. Longing, my coach. Remembrance of God Almighty, my weapon. Patience, my dress. Contentment, my prize. Poverty, my glory. Abstinence, my calling. Obedience, my measure. Striving (jihad), my character, and Prayer, my pleasure.

Then look at the sixth principle of Islamic leadership.

Sixth Principle: The power of peace is stronger than the power of violence

When Mecca was conquered, all of the Prophet’s (saw) direst opponents were brought before him. They were war criminals, in every sense of the word. But the Prophet (saw) did not order to kill them. He simply said: “Go, you are free.” The result of this kind behavior was miraculous. They immediately accepted Islam.

We say we do Da'wah in Allah's cause'. But does Allah want us to do violence on others without any strong reason? Think about it.

Who is leading us? Why should we follow? Who is he? Is he a good person? Is he a pious person? Is he a man who follows the rules? Is he a man with a great sense of leadership? Does he fight for the right causes? Does he use violence even to those who are defenceless? Is he a man who follows Quran & Sunnah? Or is he just a man who has given nothing but trouble to everyone?

Human knows how to think, but if we still go against the goodness, what are we? Whatever it is, when we have doubt, go back to Islam....Go back to our Creator... Don't do things that Allah despise. Be a good Muslim. May Allah protect us from those who want to bring us down. May Allah opens their hearts. Amin...Insyaallah....

Pray

Please help pray for my cousin's safety. He was in an accident and the doctor is fearing for his life. His condition is pretty bad. They 're waiting from him to wake up to conduct another surgery.  I hope he'll be fine, and everything will turn out well. Insyaallah, Amin.... Hope my aunt is okay... :(

2 Hari

Salam all.

Serabut otak aku. Ye, lantak la, memang tiap2 entry kalau boleh aku nak bagitau jugak aku tengah serabut. Pasal orang, pasal assignment, pasal bende (eyh?).

Owh, yea. Itu lah main story yang aku nak cite sebenarnya. Benda. See, selama 2 hari (Khamis & Jumaat) aku telah menyakiti diri sendiri dengan tidak sengaja. Hari Khamis, time nak present Islamic Literature, bang! aku langgar besi tempat lock CPU. Waaa, kesakitan dia amat memeritkan...haha.. Dah la time aku terlanggar tu, sampai plak part aku nak present. Huh, aku pun ape lagi, sempat la mengaduh kejap.

Orang lain dok gelak pulak kat aku. Tak ber'heart and stomach' la dorang nih! Sakit tahu! The whole presentation tu, aku dok tahan sakit. Ye, memang sakit. Dah abes present, aku tahan lagi, sbb dgar Dr. Umar plak comment. Adoiyai.

Hari Jumaat  pulak, means hari ni, aku balik rumah. Otw balik rumah, ktrg pergi isi minyak, time tu lah aku terlanggar pulak step kat situ, kat kaki yang sama, tempat yang sama. Waaa....kenapaaaa??? Sakit lagi!
Dalam keter, tgh duduk ni, pergi pulak sepak kaki sendiri. Sakit lagi! Balik rumah, main kejar2 dgan Glow, bang! aku pi langgar almari! Kejadah!! Kluar bilik air, langgar pulak almari lain...pergh..gile la.

Bape banyak bende ko nak langgar la Ira oiii!!

Kesimpulannya, jalan tgk depan. Dan bile dah langgar tu, jangan la salahkan bende2 tu, drg tu statik jer...

:P  

That One Reason

Salam all.

Arghhh....this week has been a very hectic week. With presentations and assignments flooding my brain. It is a miracle that I'm still 'alive'. It doesn't end there. Last Saturday, I got a summon. I was fined for not paying the electrical item. And the most horrible thing I said was 'stupid'.  Next week is going to get even more hectic! I guess this is the price I have to pay, being a student.  Anywho, I'm not really a the mood to talk about that. It's going to blow my head off.

Last week, on Thursday, I, together with my besties, Atie, and Ima, went to see a theatre performance entitled 'Laila & Majnun'. (we're holding the ticket). The overall performance was awesome, but sadly, it was only a 1 hour performance. We were like 'huh?' when it was over.

That's not the main issue here. The main reason why I wanted to go was because of someone. Yea, I know. A guy. See I don't know exactly what my feelings are for him, but, all I know is that, I kept on wishing I could see him. He's someone who I could say a friend. Means I know him, we talked, we waved at each other lots of times. But that's it.

Yes, it's embarrassing, but I went to the show for him. Cause' he's the... Okay, stop! (I can't say any more than what I have already said. You'll never know who's going to read this). The whole time of the show, I kept on looking at him. (But I did watch the performance okay). See the thing is, I don't think he even notices me. But it doesn't matter. I'm happy watching him from afar. To see him smiling back at me, is good enough. I couldn't possibly ask for more. He's not mine. If I want him, I have to ask from Allah.

But if he's not mine, then I ask Allah, please distance him from me. I don't want to have this feeling, any more than I should. The other day, I saw him, and of course, I went all white. He saw me, I saw him, but he didn't keep his eye contact. Yea, I got the clue. TQ.

Allah is great. He gives us all the feeling of love, care, but watch ourselves.
:)

Messy

Yea, don't mess with me...

Lol..well, I'm not exactly in a bad mood, I was just kidding. I just thought that this photo was very adorable! Comel lah!~

Nekozuki

Yes, I am a Nekozuki.

That is a Japanese word for cat person. Though that's not a real cat that I'm holding.hehehe

I have cats, 5 of them. Fluffy, Glow, Sky, Nile, and Black. Love them all.

I have no problem with those who are afraid of cats (though I do think it is absurd) but I very much HATE those who hate cats!~

The Most Foolish Traveler in the World

Salam all.

One story for today~

A traveler was on a journey. He was so foolish that he was easily tricked by others.

"Please, money for medicine..."

He was tricked by the villagers, and lost his clothes and shoes.

"My sister is sick..."

"I have no money to buy seeds for the field..."

But, since the traveler was a fool, even when the villagers thanked him with lies saying "You saved me!", he believed them and kept saying, "Be happy, be happy!"

In the end, the traveler became bare-naked, and was so ashamed. So he went inside the forest. But this time, he met the monsters living in the forest. The monsters want to eat the traveler's body, so they began to trick him with lies.

Of course, the traveler fell for it. So he gave away his legs and arms, one by one.

In the end, the traveler only had his head left. Then he gave away his eyes to the last monster. As the monster ate the traveler's eyes, it said, "Thank you. I'll give you a present in return." and left something behind.

But, it was just a piece of paper that had "fool" written on it. Yet, the traveler began to cry. "Thank you! Thank you! I've never gotten a present before!"

"I'm happy! I'm happy! Thank you! Thank you!" he said and poured tears out of his already gone eyes. And then the traveler died soon after. End.

Note: I think this is a very sad story. While some might say that the traveler is an idiot or stupid for losing everything, I say he's actually a character whom I wished I could be. Not saying that I want to be stupid. Even though the traveler was tricked every single time, I do believe that he knows he's being tricked. But why did he still help them? Sometimes, there will be that person who doesn't care but just want to help. Unconditionally. Yes, I want to be like this taveler. I want to do good things and help people without feeling reluctant or asking for something in return. I just want to give. What do you guys think?

Cre: A story told in 'Fruits Basket'.

'Till then!~

Black & White

Salam all.

Another entry for this beautiful day~

Everybody has a bit of good and bad inside them.

But our actions determine which is dominant.

Sometimes what we see and hear and experience can also make a

big difference in determining who we are.

What if this is just an excuse to do bad things?

We know what is good and bad, and we can think and evaluate.

Still, it doesn't change anything.

It's frightening how easy it is to become bad.

Situations and circumstances can do that to you.

It would be very sad if we can't go back. If we can't find our way back home.

It'll be even sadder if we can't change anymore.

But, people change. Yes, they do.

Even if they say they don't. Our mind is influenceable.

And that's all there is. People we see, and talk to,

we haven't a slightest idea of who they really are.

People keep looking at life on the surface.

In the end, they will often get lost and sink down under.

Life is not all about the beautiful things. It is not about peace.

There are also ugly things and there will always be wars.

It is just the matter of how brave you are to pick up the sword and fight back.

But our greatest war is in our hearts. And this is the hardest war yet.

Till then!~

Retro

Salam all.

Just a quick photo before I'm off to campus in a few minutes. What do guys think this is?

If you say it's a helmet, no, it's not. Not even close. It's also not a microwave and definitely NOT an astronaut's helmet...though it does have a resemblance...lol.

Do you guys surrender?

It's a TV. Yes. I'm not kidding!

P/s: please tell me I'm not the only one who had just known that this is a tv...cause I would be very embarrassed if I am. T_T
