Time travel

Time flies

Hair gets longer

Judgement is much wiser (hopefully)

Body gets taller (or fatter, in my case)

Skin has become much wrinkled

Memory decays

Another 22 days in here. I’m going to miss this place. It’s almost two years I’ve been here. So many things happen. I can’t believe I’m almost at the finishing line of my degree. I can vote for general election. Time flies really really fast. How much time do I have left really? It’s a way of saying, death is nearer. Scary huh? When thinking of death and be reminded of our sins and our sins to other people. So how?

‘The heart becomes rusted
like iron in water.’
When asked how to banish this
corrosion, the Prophet replied,
‘Remember death frequently and
recite the Qur’an.’

Children in need

Each year since 1980, the BBC has set aside one evening of programming on its flagship television channel, BBC One, to show events aimed at raising money for charities working with children in the UK. BBC coverage also extends across the BBC’s other television channels and national and local radio channels. A mascot called ‘Pudsey’, a teddy bear with a bandage over one eye, was introduced in 1985 and has become a regular feature. In 2007 Pudsey and the Children in Need logo were redesigned. Children in Need was registered as a charity in 1989.

How to be hot?

I can’t think of the apt title for this entry. Bagaimana mendapatkan kasih sayang? Bagaimana menjadi lovable? Bagaimana mahu disayangi? Sorry. Can’t think of any. So bear with it. Hikhik.

This entry supposed to be commemorated last week. However, as human, we just plan. So, based on my observation, these are the things that make one hot. Not for a while, but all the time.

  • Hafaz Quran

Sepanjang pemerhatian saya, orang yang hafaz Quran secara istiqamah, mereka ni ada daya tarikan (appeal). Kalau Mawi orang kata ada aura. Basically itulah yang saya maksudkan. Saya lihat, orang sekeliling mudah mendampingi mereka. Selesa berada bersama. Tapi ada juga yang sebaliknya. Biasalah tu. Takde makna la life kalau perfect manjang. Orang yang hafal Quran ni tak perlu jadi handsome atau cun. Mungkin nur Quran menerangi hati dan wajah mereka. Tak perlu bazir duit, membahayakan diri pakai minyak pengasih dan sebagainya. Cukuplah Quran pendinding diri.

  • Senyum

Rasulullah suka senyum dari tertawa macam hyena (<- i lah ni). Kalau baca entry tuan Yasir tentang sifat Rasulullah, baginda punya description, masha Allah. Rasanya orang yang ada masalah pun boleh hilang stress bila lihat wajah baginda. Baginda menyebarkan ‘bright and shiny’ melalui senyuman. Senyuman yang contagious lagi membahagiakan itu dari hati yang suci murni. Siap ada reward lagi. Senyum itu sedekah. Jadi, 🙂 lah~

  • Boundless love

There is no room for hatred and anger in your heart at all. Loving habis. Macam Rasulullah (baginda kan contoh terbaik, qudwah hassanah). Orang Yahudi yang paling benci kat dia pun, dia sayang. Orang Taif baling taik pun dia masih bersangka baik lagi. Walaupun Jibril tanya ‘kau nak aku terbalikkan bumi Taif ni tak?’, baginda dengan penuh kasih sayang menjawab ‘tak perlu’. In the end, anak cucu orang yang baling taik kat Rasulullah ni pun turut menyebarkan kasih sayang dan terus menyayangi sekalian umat.

Jadi jelas, orang yang menyebarkan kasih sayang, tiada sifat mazmumah di hati, insya Allah disayangi. Dampingi Quran. Ubat penawar untuk hati. Tak perlu jadi cantik macam model. Nanti orang sayang kat awak on surface je. Tak perlu jadi kaya macam Bill Gates, by the time awak mati harta awak dirampas direbut.

Oh, have I told you I love you?

Saranghae!! <3 <3 <3

Of love and life

After what happened to my parents, I realised that no one can make me happy but myself. I still have faith in true love, because it does exist in the history and it still touches our heart until today. I just did this for fun, nothing serious really.

 

Your Love Life Secrets Are

 

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.Although you may have been hurt before, you tend to bring very little scars into new relationships.You expect a lot from your lover – you want the full package. You tend to be very picky.

In fights, you love to debate and defend yourself. You logic prevails – or at least you’d like to think so.

You have a hard time ending relationships, even if the other person says it’s over.

It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: so pass over (their faults), and ask for (Allah’s) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast taken a decision, put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

[Noble Quran, Ali Imran: 159]

Sejarah blog dulu

I deleted a few entries from my blogspot, trying to give more limelight to the new domain. Qalamun.com was someone else’s last time. But yeah, it’s mine now. Lalala. Ingatkan nak beli blondebanjar, tapi nak taruk celah mana? Last time iyelah, I was a dedicated and disciplined blogger.

Perasaan melihat kembali entry lama, zaman world cup, masa zaman tengah bercinta, politik malaysia yang tak kebah panasnya, entry pengubat jiwa, entry ketika duka, entry yang menceritakan pengalaman, menulis ketika sedang marah, menulis kerana terilham, dan menulis kerana bosan.

Macam-macam perasaan bila skim (baca dengan laju) entry yang lama. Rasa diri ni bodoh ada. Menyesal ada. Tergelak ada. Rasa panas hati ada. Rasa cam ‘hek elleh, what are you doing nieh?’ pun ada. Macam-macam ada~~~ Tapi itulah. Past shapes what we are today. Sejarah itulah yang mengajar kita. Sejarah membentuk diri kita. Sejarah dan peristiwa menjadikan kita orang yang baru. Orang yang lebih bersemangat. Orang yang tidak mahu tunduk kepada orang lain. Orang yang belajar dari kesilapan (ini penting).

Yang lepas, biarlah. Pilihan aku juga. Kini aku tahu. Banyak peristiwa berlaku, melatih aku menjadi lebih kuat dan berpengalaman. Sejarah mungkin berulang? Mungkin. Namun ia bergantung kepada kita, bagaimana untuk mengendalikannya, agar di hujung kisah, sejarah itu sejarah yang berguna untuk semua. Insya Allah.
