What should you do??

When your roomates keep on playing the song loudly,
making so much noises every day, every night, every time,
talking so much and loud until you can hear their voices 99km from your room,
non-stop laughing like the world belongs to them,
While you are sitting in your room,
waiting and preparing for your final exam!





My patience has reached the limit.

WINNER OF THE CONTEST

As salam.. first of all, I want to say a 'big' sorry because of this late announcement. Since I will have my final exam this week until 8th April, I am so busy preparing for the whole thing. Neither do I have enough sleep nor eating well. Yet I have to submit all assignments, presentations, reports, research paper and etc at the end of this week. Crazy enough huh. Luckily everything has been done. Alhamdulillah..

After looking through your pictures, we decided to choose two winners for the next photo shoot. This photo shoot will be on 9th or 10th April since it is weekend and we hope that those winners are able to come. If not, we might change it to other date. There are 7 judges including me, Khairul Azkar and Faiz Khalil. After making a short list, here is the winners. Jeng jeng jeng~

JAMILAH JAAFAR

Why we choose her? As we said before, we emphasized more on pose rather than other criteria. Instead, her facial expression suited her pose as well. We assumed that this girl can act better in front of the camera ;-) (it will not look fake!)

WIWIT

Why must she? The judges said that she's a kind of photogenic plus she has a sincere facial expression. Moreover, her expression kinda match the pose. So at the end she deserves it =)


Thank you for joining this contest. It is such a great feeling to share with all of you, knowing that you willing to participate with our project. Don't feel bad, or sad if you did not win. You had done a good job! Cheers~

p/s: We will organised second contest soon. Insha Allah. So plz stay tune with us dear ;-)

To Jamilah and Wiwit, do inbox your phone numbers to mine.

Announcement For Contestants!

Since tomorrow will be the last day for you to join the contest, I think I need to clarify this thing in depth. I already look through your entries and I found some...Umm. How to say this...Actually there's some weaknesses. Sorry to say that. However, you still have 24 hours before all the judges choose the winner.

First, make sure you write and give your answers properly. Don't use any SHORT FORM or any unknown/unfamiliar words. For example, if you want to say 'saya akan', please write FULL words instead of  'sy akn'. It is because some of the judges and photographers are not in your age, probably they will face some problems in understanding your explanation.

Second, please give the STRONG ANSWER on 'how you want to be a model' question. It is because your answer will affect the result as well. Don't just say that you want to be a model because your mom force you or because of nonsense reason. We really take serious upon your answers, so do explain it properly dear. Do impress us, do make the judges think that you are the best.

Third, I already stated that this contest required ONLY 3 PHOTOS. Choose those 3 that you think the best. Only three sayang. Don't put too much photos, it will be hard for the judges to judge you.

You still have time to improve, so use it properly. Good luck! With love <3

This is the list for all contestants. click here.

p/s: To Wietonly, I can't leave any comment in your entry. I don't know whether you disable it or there's something wrong with internet connection here. Hope you notice this entry.

If I have a time...

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do,
I had to hurry and get to work,
for bill would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
and jumped up off my knees,
my Muslim duty was now done,
my soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time,
to spread a word of cheer,
no time to speak of Allah to friends,
they’d laugh at me I’d fear,
no time, no time, too much to do,
that was my constant cry,
no time to give to souls in need,
but at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes,
for in His hands God held a book,
It was the book of life.
God looked into His book and said,
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down,
But never found the time...

penerimaan perempuan terhadap lelaki tiada teruna

Children nowadays are more interested in the issue of dara and teruna rather than sociology or morphology. I wonder why. Maybe their mutations are growing faster than what we expected. Durrhh. Luckily they are still human, not a mutant.

Okay back to the topic. Selalu kalau malam pertama suami kecoh je nak tau si isteri ni masih dara atau tak. Cuba kalau si isteri yang tanya: "Abang, abang ni teruna lagi dak?" Mak aiiihhh. Lepas tu mulalah tergagap-gagap nak jawab. Si isteri punyalah suci sampai pegang tangan lelaki pun tak pernah walhal si suami macam harem, Cina Melayu India Arab Niger semua dia pernah rembat. 1 Malaysia la katakan. Haa how about this one :

"Saya tokse kawen dengan awok sebab awok rajim tido dengan tino lain."

Phewww~ Walaweh. Statement tak leh blah, boleh pengsan wa cakap lu. Meleleh menangis air mata darah la jawabnye. Lol.

gambar sekadar hiasan, tiada kaitan dengan entry

Well Im not going to condemn any man or any woman as well. Dara ke, teruna ke, lantak hangpa la. But brothers and sisters, let me tell you something.

In Islam, what's in the past is forgiven with some conditions. First, you really do your tawbah (taubat nasuha) because of the deep regret. Second, you have to make promise that you will never repeat the same mistakes or sins again.  During the time of Rasulullah (pbuh), there is one man called Ma'iz committed a zina. He confessed to Rasulullah s.a.w and he demanded that he'll be punished by his wrong doing. Then he was buried until the upper part of his body remained. All of para sahabat cursed him. Rasulullah s.a.w knew about that and said "Wallahi Ma' iz had done tawbah, if compared it's the same as all sahabah entered Jannah." Meaning here, walaupun Ma'iz tu pernah berzina, tetapi disebabkan dia telah bertawbah, ianya diibaratkan seperti seluruh sahabat masuk syurga.

Let's say one day korang dapat tahu yang suami or isteri korang pernah commit the wrong doing.You hate your husband/wife because he or she had done something wrong in the past and you said that "Everything about you is bad." But you forget about the best things that they did for you just because of their past mistakes. You never realize that even no one in this world can do the same as they did. My dear, sedangkan Rasulullah yang mulia mengampunkan ummatnya, apatah lagi kita insan biasa yang beriman taqlid, iman yang mudah rapuh dimakan anai-anai.

Oh come on beb. We are all sinners.  What makes us different from each other is our Iman, Amal and our tawbah. Only Rasul and Nabi are maksum because their heart are cleaned. Thus, who are we to judge people?

When you did wrong doing and there's no one know about it, that's mean Allah covers you, you only have to do tawbah and don't reveal the sin because it's only between you and Allah. Tawbah is not for them who insist not to do the same sins. There's one hadith said that : "When tears dropped because of remembering Allah during night, insha Allah the hell fire will not touch you." When Allah gives you hidayah, that's mean He gaves you light. As you committed wrong doing, do tawbah and replace the dark spot in your heart with a good thing.You have to make U-turn 360 celcius to go back to Quran and sunnah.

One more thing, you don't want to marry that person because you afraid that he or she might be the wrong one. To make it clear, I once had asked my lecturer upon this thing:

Me: Ustaz, how to know whether he's the right one for me? I mean how to know that I don't make the wrong choice?


Ustaz: If you want to marry someone, there's some conditions that should be considered. First, you have to know his akhlak in the present. He might be a bad person in the past but if he changed, you can look into second condition. You have to know his religious duty as well, whether he did perform enough solat, fasting and so on. Second, check on his family whether he comes from the good Muslim family or vice versa. Third, know his friends and people around him. Next, I will continue later.. (he was rushing to go to other class :-P)

Beloved friends, ketahuilah bahawa cinta sejati itu ialah pada orang yang memahami masa silam anda, mempercayai masa depan anda, dan sedia menerima anda dalam apa jua keadaan sekalipun.

Heartless

Hati ini..
telah mati..
Tiada yang dapat ku rasakan lagi..

Saat kau tinggalkan diri ini,
ku rebah menyembah bumi,
namun ku bangkit berkali-kali,
kerna ku tanam dalam hati.,
dengan harapan agar sinar itu muncul kembali.
Namun sinar itu telah jauh pergi,
ku sujud pasrah kepada Ilahi,
mohon tutupkan pintu hati ini,
agar ku tidak kecewa lagi,
dengan cinta yang telah dikhianati.

Setelah semangat itu kembali di sisi,
mengapa engkau datang mencari,
padahal kau tahu aku ingin hidup sendiri,
nekadku tidak mahu berpatah lagi,
kerana aku sudah tidak sanggup menghadapi,
liku-liku yang penuh berduri,
seperti masa silamku yang tersurat pasti.

Aku tidah mahu menjadi gadis itu lagi,
mengharap cinta yang tidak layak dimiliki,
aku hanya mahu cinta yang hakiki,
walaupun diriku bersendiri,
ku tahu ku punya Ilahi,
yang menemaniku setiap saat tanpa henti,
walaupun tanpa insan bernama lelaki.

Aku percaya diriku tetap teguh berdiri,
kerana aku punyai identiti,
kerana aku tidak akan bersembunyi,
kerana aku bukan gadis itu lagi,
kerana aku tidak mudah disakiti,
kerana aku bukan untuk kau tandingi,
kerana aku takkan mengharap lagi,
pada sebuah perjalanan yang belum pasti.

Tinggalkan aku bersama doa mengiringi,
jangan kau selitkan rasa benci,
ataupun kau dendami,
keputusan dan ketetapan yang ku teguhi,
dan aku tidak pernah menyesali,
atas apa yang terjadi,
tiada secalit pun rasa benci,
ataupun penyesalan di hati,
kerana ku percaya ada hikmah yang tersembunyi.


Biarlah aku sendiri,
mencari haluan sejati,
asalkan hati ku tidak akan menangis lagi.
walaupun peritnya sampai mati,
aku percaya Dia Maha Mengasihani.

I'm not special, I'm just limited edition.

p/s: It took more than 3 years for me to recover and heal this feeling. Alhamdulillah... Now I think I'm ready to accept all the possibilities. Syukran Ya Allah.. Syukran... Baarakallahufikum fiiamaanillah, Allah Ya Kareem..

Photo of the Day #3

A good friend is someone we can count on, as well as being so much more. A friend is someone with whom we can relax and just hang out, have fun and share our innermost thoughts, deep dark secrets, lofty and noble goals, or our hopes, joys, and fears.

A good friend allows you a safe space to share your deepest thoughts and needs without worry of being judged, criticized or made to feel silly for feeling the way you do. Friends cheer each other on, laugh and cry together, and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.

That's why friends are friends....

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

How to tackle your boyfriend's heart

This topic does not have anything to do with me because I don't have a boyfriend yet it is not necessary for me to think about it for this moment. Hahaha. But it sounds interesting enough right? *wink*

Okay let me share something with you girls! As a muqaddimah, the successful relationship which lead to marriage is when a man and a woman lies in sharing their feelings with each other without any doubt. I notice that sometimes girls tend to love their boyfriends more than themselves. Well that's normal. In fact, guy is consider as stone-hearted compare to girl who is more lovely and adorable. Why is it so?? [Perhaps they are already born with this kind of fitrah. Tak pun depa memang jenis yg tak dak perasaan. Lol =P]

So let's us reflect back. Normally, girl loves to show or express their feelings by saying ‘I love you’ and ‘I need you’ too many times until it causes some kind of pressure towards her boyfriend.  Instead, it is better for you to SHOW your love more than saying it aloud all the time!

How to show?

There are many ways on showing you love. Here I just want to share some of them based on my own experience. From my point of view, when it comes into your boyfriend's birthday, it's better to give the birthday present made by your own (hand made) rather than buying expensive stuff outside there. Even though it only cost a few cents, it will be the most precious give. The sentimental value is in the first place. Your creativity, patience and determination judge the value of the prize as it is priceless, it can't be repay even with billions of money.

Hey hey as an example I want to show you what my friends had done! They were awesome! They tried to do some 'craft' as a gift for their boyfriends' birthday! Let's check their stuff dear ;-)

The first one :

before

after

 

It was done by my friend Nadiah for their second anniversary on February 2011. She spent more than one week to sew this white 'bantal' before it turned to be like that.


During the time of completing this 'task', I was the one who kept going to her room to see the progress. Haha. Yes, at last it shows the worthiness. Mike, you are so lucky to have her. May God bless both of you. Semoga cepat kahwin ye.

The second one:

This was done by Sheni. It consisted of Ferraro Roche and brown wrapping paper. Oh the roses are also made by her! This bouquet was made special for the 'home coming' of her special one. He studies in oversea, I think it's somewhere in Japan. Since they did not see each other for a long time, she tried to make their day became the memorable one. Isn't that so sweet?

Where's yours?

Me? Me?

Haha. Frankly speaking I really love to do this kind of 'things' too. Arts, music and me can't be separated. Actually I had tried to made and decorate a handmade gift for my ex before this, unfortunately I did not have a chance to give it to him. Dah takde jodoh nak wat camne kan. Huhu. Perhaps I'll do it again for someone special in future, something that he'll never get or buy anywhere, insha Allah. =)

Oh how about you? Mind to share, plz ;-)
XOXO.

p/s: Kalau boypren hang tak rase ape-ape after you did that, u better go and find someone else. Hahahaha

Moment of thoughts

" I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm stressed with work overload, I have a bad headache since last night, I walk like a zombie, I can't pay attention for today's classes, I can't remember where I left my phone, and I'm stuck in front of my laptop with tears.."

My facebook status of yesterday.

For some reasons, sometimes I feel like life doesn't treat me well. In a state of being a girl, a student, a friend, and a human being, I noticed that everything happens in all of sudden without any control of all. No excuses whether it is good or bad. We might pretend like there's nothing happen and we act like we don't care enough. Actually we do. Even it's just a small matter, it'll leave some black dot deep in our heart as we are born with feelings, the undeniable truth. In fact, the results will be the one who guide us to move to the next chapter of life.

Thus, we need to reflect upon our past and look through what we have done. Perhaps it is something to do between our relationship with the Almighty. Why is it so?? As we have too much to do, we had to hurry and get to work for bill would soon be due. No time to give to soul in need. Yet we lost in a constant cry.

So let us wake up before the last time, time to die. Before we stood with downcast eyes in front of the book of life. My dear, have you ever tried to read and reciting Al-Quran nearby a fresh flowing river? And read the ayatulquran regarding water and river? It will be a great moment for you to do that, even nearby the beach, on island even in a forest, or with your family and friends!

Let's spread the love of Islam. Just remember that although the going gets rough always believe that you are tough enough to make it because no one else can be you! May God bless all of us.Baarakallahufikum Fiiamaanillah, Allah Ya Kareem..

Alhamdulillah.. I'm still breathing.. Alhamdulillah, syukran ya Allah...
