It's so draggy to work on Sat..travelling to Pasir Ris. Sigh...
Anyway, I decided at the last minute after I left the office, to go to Kampung Jawa and Little India. No intention to shop actually...just window-shopping.
But I ended up buying a scarf at Kampung Jawa. From there, I strolled to Mustafa Centre, to enjoy the air-con for a while. Then, I went to a VCD shop across da 24-hr mega store. Immediately, the salesperson asked me "where's your other fren?" He was referring to Alisa. I'm not surprised that he remembers me cos we did spend a long time in that shop!
Anyway, I bought Koi Mil Gaya, Mann and Nawal's latest album. And walked down to the Arcade. Couldnt resist the temptation to buy
halwa...bought $8 worth of
halwa. Been a long time since I "merayap" (to quote from Hafiz) alone.
New Year Resolution
Nope...I dun have a new year resolution. Just want to share with you an article I read in "Muslim Milenia". I bought the mag in KL.
The article is entitled "Fenomena Hujung Tahun & Muhasabah Diri." It highlights about setting new yr resolution and self-reflection. In Malay:
"Ikrar hujung tahun sebenarnya merupakan tradisi orang Barat. Tujuannya juga baik iaitu membuat perancangan strategik diri sendiri untuk masa hadapan berdasarkan prestasi tahun lalu.
Muhasabah ialah melihat ke belakang akan pencapaian agar dapat dijadikan iktibar pada masa hadapan. Lebih afdal, jika pada setiap awal Muharram, kita membuat doa akhir dan awal tahun...di mana kita mengukur apa yg telah kita nikmati dan cabaran yg telah diberikan.
Apa yg dilalui pada tahun yg berlalu, adalah ujian manakala cara kita menanganinya adalah kurniaan. Melalui ujian-ujian itu, nilai tahap kejayaan yg dicapai..."
"Muhasabah diri" will make us realise our own strengths and weaknesses. Being aware of our weaknesses, will Insya'Allah, make us put in more effort to be better people.
Okies...chaoz. Gotta wake up early for my class later!
