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

5th of November

Oh, D day is nearer. Today is already fifth of November. Anyone remember?

(Bonfire and the cold night will make the autumn happier)

 

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Ideas for halloween

a’uzubillahiminassyaitonirrajim. malam ni halloween. kalau korang tak suka dengan jiran korang yang pakai kostum hantu dan beperangai macam hantu, berikut adalah beberapa idea yang boleh menghalau jiran anda yang macam hantu.

  1. Masa dia jerit ‘trick or treat’ sambil menghulurkan candy bag, korang leh taruk mercun yang telah dibakar sumbunya.
  2. kalau dia pakai kostum hantu, korang pakai telekung. telekung ada kaitan dengan casper. takyah susah payah tempah kostum halloween. Kisah lanjut leh rujuk blog Alin.
  3. Kalau rasa diri tak mampu nak join party, apa kata buat halaqah, baca yasin ramai-ramai. Selamat sikit dari bermain ‘spirit in the coin‘.
  4. Kalau rasa nak test makeup dan menakutkan kembali jiran anda, boleh juga. Kalau takde, taruk masker ‘bedak sejuk’ pun coolness juga.
  5. Beli mercun dan roket kat ASDA, taruk sign ‘nuclear testing site’. Insha Allah takde siapa berani dekat rumah anda.

Happy Halloween people!!

Why geeks shall inherit the earth?

  1. Simply because, geeks are rich. Namely Bill gates, and now, young Max Levchin. Anyone rajin (hardworking) enough to analyse Forbes’ list? Let’s share them here. 
  2. Although some geeks are dropouts (obviously the system bores them to death), but they are successful. (If the term ‘geek’ is created in 1847, then Thomas Alva Edison is one). More stories of successful dropouts, here.
  3. Geeks contribute a lot to the society. Inventing gadgets contributing ideas each day. In plain English, geeks improve other’s life.

You have more points? I believe you do. Caruk (write/ point out/ state) them in the comment box.

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]

Quote of the day

Meredith: At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away (Ainee adds: if you’re lucky).

Some people are just lucky, they don’t have to tell others to be grateful because they don’t know how it feels like to be unlucky.
