"O Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge, And Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter--( or said: If it is better for my present and later needs)--Then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter--( or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs)--Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me, And make me satisfied with it)."

At 21, I thought it would hapen at 25.
At 25, I thought it would be 27.
At 27, I thought it would be 30.
At 30, and now 31....I stop expecting it.
Certainly feel incomplete.
Wish I had it as easy. May Allah give me strength and patience for I believe in Him.
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don't look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for this would make the favours (conferred upon you by Allah) insignificant (in your eyes). Abu Mu'awiya said: Upon you."

When the house is THIS quiet on a public holiday, I wish there were kids running around the house.
All the wailing, the non-stop why's, the siblings bickering - somehow, and I'm sure....will make this house seems more like a home.
Sigh...where's all the chaos when you need them?
No wonder mum said she rather not be in the house, when everyone's out for work and school.
If only I have THEM. The house won't be too quiet huh?
Humans - never satisfied.

[Sahih Al-Bukhari : Volume 1, Book 2, Number 47]
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): One day while the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked: "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection.
" Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan."
Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam)replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you."
Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion."
Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.

Mundane life for the past 2 weeks almost drove me to insanity. But Alhamdulillah, I did not reach to that point!
A short getaway to Batam never fails to keep me alive. This time more rejuvenated than ever!
The staff at the hotel reception and the spa remembered me! Ooopsss....but it felt good :)
The first night, Zee and I had a 'Pandan Syndrome' Spa session. The Pandan scrub was great. It didn't smell as yummy as my coffee scrub last month, but still refreshing! Followed by Body Glow which is simply body mask. It tickled us both cos we felt like some giant sushi roll or pandan-flavoured swiss roll. Complete with plastic and fully covered except for our face.
During the 20mmins, I had too many funny thoughts that I couldn't sleep. I wondered how do I scratch my nose if I'm feeling itchy, what if a lizard landed on me? How do I get up? HAHA
Anyway, thank god after that we were 'released' and had a relaxing massage.
The next morning, we treated ourselves to an hour traditional Javanese massage and I continued with my first 90mins Hair Spa. My hair smells like lavender and no tangles! I refuse to wash my hair now :p It looks too perfect.
My masseuse thought I was 20 yrs old :) Sigh...I wish!
If only, I could do this every month. Wouldn't life be perfect?

When you can't get what you wish for in life,
Do you compromise?
Compromise...even at the expense of your own happiness?
Even though the thought of comprising is killing you?

BROKENThe broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can start tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And i am here still waiting
Though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So i'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you
The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And i still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
Is there healing?
In your name (in your name)
I find meaning
So i'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you
I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And i'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that i will be okay
Broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
I haven't forgotten my way home
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
There is healing
In your name (in your name)
I find meaning
So i'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm holding on (i'm still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you

I looked around me
Full of envy
Wondering...why me?
Who am I to question life's mystery?
Who am I to know what is truly meant to be?
If only life is that easy.
But then again, others' seem to be.
People say I do not think
But do they know what's within?
People say I am rather silly
But do they know what's happening...really!

Oh my....it's been eons! Sorry dearest blog for neglecting you.
It's been more than a week since I left Spain. But my heart is still there. Sigh....I could just walk around aimlessly in the majestic Alhambra.
I am giving myself till end of this year to upload photos :p

MasyaAllah...we are in September. Just 3 more months and it's another new year again.
This blog has been neglected yet again. But I will never delete it :)
It's through this blog, I've made wonderful friends.
I've met gorgeous
Nadia. It was an unexpected invite to her wedding a couple of years back I think.
And Alhamdulillah, 2 days ago, I've met THE wonderful sister whom I've only interacted with via this blog, then FB, and then SMS...for more than 3 years I think. Many years, she came to SG or me in KL, we've never been able to meet.
Syukur to Him for allowing us to finally meet at my humble home. It's an honour,
Kak Shieda, that you are willing to accept my invite. It was a joy chatting with you, Abg Razi and Syahrul. As though we've met before kan?
It gets even more exciting when I realise you know my granduncle and my brother's friend, Shahrin.
Thanks for brightening up the house with your smiles and laughters. And you brought smile to my mum cos you guys love her Mee Siam and all the homemade kuih raya we've made.
After meeting you, I'm more confident that Allah will always protect you and your loved ones, and will reward you with good health, happiness and utmost faith. Amin InsyaAllah.
Come let's open a mamak stall in Melbourne! LOL. To
Pojan, bila you nak datang Singapore? Hehe...or bila I nak ke Labuan? :p

People asked.
I shrugged and said I don't know.
Well, that's the truth indeed, I really don't know.
Wish I could give a more convincing answer.
But I really don't know.

Alhamdulillah, I'm enjoying doing what I'm doing now.
Dainty Paisley - my very own online business.
But one thing for sure, it's not as easy. Well, money doesn't come easy and we gotta really work hard for it.
Someone passed a casual remark the other day - passive business huh? just shake legs n money will just come to you. I wish! Though I pray with God's will, it would become easier :p Amin, InsyaAllah.
May Allah reward me for my hardwork :)
