salam,
today, 15th September 2011 marks my 20. entering a new version of age. it starts with 2 and the ending is still as young as 0. if you read from the right side, i'm now 20. but if you choose to read from the left side, i'm now 02 years old. never mind. both are still young. what 20 means to me?
i'm no longer a baby girl to my mom coz i'm now adults. at this age, i should be able to make my own decision in life. no more pouting. no more crying. no more fighting. should be more matured in terms of making whatever decisions. i should have my own plan and aims in life. should not talk about marriage now. later is better. multiple up iman n amal as that is the only purpose of life which is to be a better muslim.for the entire of my life, not even once i meet with someone who is hoping to be worse than before. everyone is hoping to better. believe me, we're not going to be better without doing something. everyone can say but not everyone can do. do whatever you are saying. if you are hoping and you wanna be better. strive for it. hit your wagon and drive your maximum energy and power for whatever you wish in life. make it reality. so, who is a better muslim?
"A muslim is a muslim because he seeks Allah's approval and that is the most important trait that makes a muslim different from all other human in this world."
"A Muslim is a person who grasps that Allah has power over all things and that death is not an end but a transition to the real abode of man (the hereafter). Aware of these facts, he carefully avoids building his life on a "crumbling precipice." He turns to Allah, aware that He is the real Owner and Creator of life, death and what lies beyond. In this system created by Allah, he comprehends that wealth, social status or good looks are not the means that lead man to success; they are only "causes" operating under the rules laid down by Allah, which are effective for only a brief period of time."

a week before this beautiful date finally comes to visit me,
i'm not excited to celebrate by new version of age. i'm scared coz i'm gonna be old. older than yesterday. i'll keep growing old and there will be no turning point for me to turn back whenever i feel scared or cannot catch up with everything that's going on now. that's life.
How do I celebrate my birthday?
No birthday celebration coz i'm not used to it since i was young. praise be to Allah for sending me a great family and friends. they cheer up my birthday with thousands of prayers and wishes. having them as part of my life is the most wonderful thing in my life. thanks for the presents to those who susah2 buy, wrap and give it to me. i'll surely appreciate it.thanks for the remembrance. thanks for the surprise. thanks for the songs. thanks for the video.
a special thanks to my parents, i'm who i'm now because of you both.thanks for the endless prayers. thanks for the endless love. thanks for your support. thanks for raising me up. thanks for everything.
this special song is specially dedicated for both of you..
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
i'm no longer a baby for i'm now a 20 years old lady...
