Salams,

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

I love, love reading. In fact, books are my first loves, follow by the seasides and the sunsets. Thus I love to read blogs which post things that funny, sad, wise, angry and angst. Owh the love story is always in my top list - but written in a very beautiful way. If you read the classical writing penned by LM Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Johanna Spyri for examples, you will understand what I'm trying to tell. I absolutely detest the modern love stories - pornography in disguise, under the name of art and literature.

Thus, for those who write their daily experiences with gusto - I heart you.

I go to the carboots again today, out of boredom and listlessness at first, then I remember I want to get something for Anis and her children. To Seaham in the afternoon, but the rains decide to amuse themselves by falling heavily on us, on the day that I decide to shop with devotion! Many sellers have packed and headed home, the only ones who left are braved enough waiting in the freezing cold for ardent buyers. And guess what? I manage to buy five toys that cost me 10 pence each. Even though it could be fallen under second, or third or fourth hands, it still looks new. I doubt I will get the same price if I were in Malaysia.

I like this ayat. Owh, I like many verses too, but this ayat gives you the highest hopes aiii? I hope it manages to reinforce our imaan, by believing that when we follow the orders, InsyaAllah, the highest grade of Jannah i.e Firdaus is ours.

"Sesungguhnya laki-laki dan perempuan yang muslim, laki-laki dan perempuan yang mukmin, laki-laki dan perempuan yang tetap dalam ketaatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang benar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang sabar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang khusyuk, laki-laki dan perempuan yang bersedekah, laki-laki dan perempuan yang berpuasa, laki-laki dan perempuan yang memelihara kehormatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang banyak menyebut (nama) Allah, Allah telah menyediakan untuk mereka ampunan dan pahala yang besar "- Al-Ahzab 32

We were talking about our nation's predicaments during the journey to Seaham. One thing I love about the senior sisters here are the informative conversations that we have. The gamblings are made legal in Malaysia, a laughable as well as an unbelievable economic action. Glancing at wikipedia, there are only few countries that adopt gamblings as legal, but heavily control it. They are not the nations that declares Islam as their official religion, unlike us. Do thou know that Malaysia is the world's largest Islamic banking and financial centre? Ironic, isn't it?




Must dash!
Love, as always.

CHEATERS AND VEGETABLES

Salams,

A quick reminder for myself, and I hope to Allah swt to guide me, because there is no guidance except from Him. Hidayah, and so with everything, is belong to Him, and Him only.

The post written by Adli brings back so many things. I never cheat in my entire academic life except on one occasion - an attempt to do it but fail to deliver it - that's why I hate cheaters more than anything. Why I never cheat before? It never occurs to me to cheat, I have enough pride to not to do it, and alhamdulillah, I never have a friend that cheats in his/her academic life too. Well, surrounding does play a tremendous role in shaping one's life, aii? But I believe, it's Allah's trial for those who are honest but perhaps have been succumbed into this kind of environment. Be strong Adli.

Owh, the occasion where I attempted mightily to cheat? During my qualifying exams to fly - a paper called CS ( I can't remember what's the full name) which was about management was the most hated paper, as I have to remember many, many, many theories. Thus, given the hatred and the laziness to use God-given brains and willpower, I wrote the theories at the back of my calculator. And you guys know what had happened in the exam room? The invigilator a.k.a the teacher stood beside me all the time! So much for the efforst writing on the surface of the calculator for the whole night. And I got C. The only C I've ever got in the major exams. I was abashed, but grateful that I did not cheat, otherwise I may get caught and flunk, or fates will punish me later. This is what I believe.

What goes around, comes around, and I have lived long enough to attest to its truth.

I hate eating green vegetable. And taugeh. But green vegetables are vital for my brains, as it has been prescribed by the Al-Mighty. Everytime I see salads, cucumbers, or broccoli, my stomach makes a summersault, protesting to not buy it, as if I buy it, I must eat it. Owh, the price to pay to be brainy.

The models are significance, alhamdulillah, and according to the expected signs. However, a new problem emerges, I can't write. I can't write a single elegant sentence, and SV wants to meet on Tuesday next week. Perhaps I should abandon the course and run away to be a chef, or better, a fisherwoman. Or, the most realistic solution is, I need to go down to town to buy green veggies perhaps. And milk. And nuts. Fuels for my brains, and later, raking and forcing it to construct the sentences!


Must dash!
Love, as always.
