the best things about studying overseas are

• experiences
• making friends with lots of people from all over the world (only if you love to make friends)

save the moments

a friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be (Douglas Pagels)

Walimatul Urus Wan Nabilah & Ahmad

Dan kahwinkanlah orang-orang bujang (lelaki dan perempuan) dari kalangan kamu, dan orang-orang yang soleh dari hamba-hamba kamu, lelaki dan perempuan. Jika mereka miskin, Allah akan memberikan kekayaan kepada mereka dari limpah kurnia-Nya kerana Allah Maha Luas (rahmatNya dan limpah kurnia-Nya), lagi Maha Mengetahui" (al-Nur 24:32)

officially taken.may Allah bless..

the first batch arrived

i was speechless and clueless. excited and nervous mixed. that was my first time attending to my own  close friend's wedding ceremony. i should not cry. i should smile and pat her back. congratulations wan!! you did it wan. few of my friends did ask her (secret recipe please!!!). she replied, " she has been praying for a soleh best friend since she was form 3, since our ustazah and teachers back in sbpikp told her to start asking from Allah s.w.t for a soleh boy friend forever till jannah from now on". 

looking at her 24 hours smiling face made me feel like 'i want a halal bff till jannah' too. He knows better. 

my first time after three years joining the crowd. i missed my friends so much and hoping for the next 'meet and greet' opportunity again. half of the crowd who came yesterday might be us 'ex-ikupa' . thanks all!! till we meet again iA soon. who's next??

tomorrow!

celoteh januari

salam,

sedang berjalan 

melalui kelompok manusia

yang baru pulang dari medan perang kecil

perang dengan mengantuk

perang dengan kebosanan
perang dengan kemalasan
perang dengan keinginan untuk melakukan yang dilarang
tatkala sang mua'lim khusyuk menebarkan ilmu di dada
buat perkongsian kepada generasi muda

jalan pulang ke hostel
melalui tangga-tangga kecil
letih tak tearsa dek kerana
ada saja yang sukarela
 menjadi penghibur sepanjang perjalanan

soalan demi soalan dibincangkan
disulami dengan hilai ketawa
terhibur dengan jawapan yang diterima

tiba-tiba,
terpacul satu kenyataan bukannya soalan
yang bukan lagi misteri
tetapi jawapannya amatlah misteri
hilang hilai ketawa
masing masing serius memberi pandangan

' itulah perasaan A apabila bertemu naqibahnya dahulu'

lidah kelu
tak mampu mencari pendapat yang sesuai
mudah difahami tanpa menyentuh perasaan
teringat kata-kata seorang murabbi yang terkenal di muka buku
kadangkala mengambil keputusan untuk berdiam diri lebih baik daripada berkata-kata
biar 'diam' itu menjadi air yang dapat menghalang api dari terus marak

ini kisah yang membawaku ke sini
yang menetapkan hatiku di sini
walau susah
menangis pun sudah
namun, manisnya makin terasa

memberi masa bukanlah mudah
kenapa susah??
kerana ramai yang lupa satu hakikat masa
segala yang mereka ada sekarang hanyalah pinjaman
adat meminjam
jangan sombong untuk mengembalikan

ramai yang lupa
setiap detik langkah mereka
mestilah disertakan niat untuk beribadat
hatta, menonton tv

ramai yang gagal
gagal untuk menyelami hati sendiri
dibiarkan hati sepi tanpa peringatan
bila sedih mula cari tuhan
bila gembira, lupa segalanya
ingin lagi kegembiraan dan takut akan kesedihan

ramai yang salah menafsir jalan untuk dipilih
jalan hiburan memang indah
tapi hanya permulaan
jalan kebaikan/jalan usrah/jalan dakwah/jalan menuntut ilmu/jalan  santapan iman
memang tampak berduri berliku
sakit dahulu
tapi manisnya hanya yang merasai tahu.

ukhuwah fillah
jangan jijik melihat sesama perempuan berpeluk
makan setalam, suap menyuap, menangis bersama, suka bersama
gembira ada batasnya
kami berjanji nak pegang tangan sahabat kami
nanti kami nak ke syurga abadi bersama
kami nak bawa islam bersama
kami nak syahid bersama

pilihlah jalan!!!!

a) gelap tapi penghujungnya ada cahaya, tapi..ish, lambatnya nak sampai!! penghujung yang belum pasti

b)cerahnya tapi xpasti lagi apa yang akan terjadi dipertengahan jalan dan dipenghujungnya

c)kadang cerah kadang mendung. penghujungnya belum pasti 

pilihla..selamat memilih!!!

tears of sorrow

salam,

berjalan ke tempat usrah dengan titisan air mata
lagi laju jalan, lagi lebat air mata turun
kabur jalan di depan
terimbau kisah-kisah lampau
hati merintih
katanya 'masih belum bersedia'
masih banyak cita-cita
untuk melihatmu tersenyum gembira
melihat cucu cucumu berjaya
andai dikurniakan masa
ku mohon agar dipanjangkan usianya.

dulu dia yang mengajar tulis baca
tak pernah lupa makanan kegemaran
dia yang mula mengajar membaca
degil dirotan
tapi hasilnya 'power'
seawal usia kanak -kanak ribena
alhamdulillah
kami mampu membaca
khatam al quran
menulis

putting this mixed up feelings into words is so not easy but at least it helps me a lot..
to heal this mixed up feelings.

not a stereotype

works cycle. keep smiling for it will help us to defeat the stress.

on trying my best to be a multitasker

salam,

iron lady!
stop crying for it will help you nothing...

looking at the way i manage my life these days. me myself feel so scared.
this time will be my very first time holding a few responsibilities which i dun think i can hold all.

the only thing i could say is ' i have to learn to put myself in others'.
i need the empathy. little did i know the real life of a lady with lots of responsibilities.

you have to hush a goodbye to your day sleep or even short nap. you will always feel occupied with lots of undone works. you have to always be prepared. do not wait until last minutes and do your work the minute you have any free time. you have to say good bye to leisure time as your time will always be occupied till sometimes you will feel hard for you to breath freely like any normal human. You have to learn to priorities things in your life. you have to learn to divide your time systematically and use every minutes you have wisely. patience is the only key to success in whatever you are in. be humble in whatever you are doing. be sincere and limit your words if there's nothing important for you to speak out.

above is just a little tips from me to those who are chosen to hold lots of responsibilities in a time. i see and i learn. i observe, then i conclude. i think before i write. i think before i talk. those are from my personal observations and from what i have experienced these days.

sometimes, responsibilities will turn you to become a more responsible human. it helps to educate us on how to appreciate our time. an extrinsic motivation i should say. it tells us the real meaning of life as a khalifatullah. it shows us the direction of our life and our functions as a human in His land.

be proud syahira! at least, Allah gives you a chance to experience all those though it is only for a while. yup, i've decided to drop one due to i'm not capable of doing all though in the eyes of others, the pose that i get is just little and small as compared to others.

whatever it is, i should know my level and i know where my level lies.
measure your capabilities before accepting a responsibility.


till then,
salam

'sun' day

assalamualaikum,

this is a continuation from what i did yesterday. a hectic weekend yet wonderful. this is a start for a long journey. full of ups and downs. as what i always said to myself each time the stress ambushes me,

' dugaan itu bukti Allah sayangkan kita, pahala secara indirect way"

the fourth day in semester 3

salam,

a hectic day but still, i choose to sleep late at night just to update something. 

 

mampukah seorang wanita biasa meneladani ketokohan saidina Umar al Khattab ketika mana beliau dengan penuh keberanian mengumumkan keimananya kepada Allah. 

mampukah seorang wanita biasa menokohi kesabaran Saidina Khadijah

mampukah seorang wanita biasa mencontohi ketajaman minda Saidatina Aisyah r.a.w

Ya Wadud!

waking up in Penang

salam,

updating from a land full of sorrow and homesick homo-sapiens.

how fast time flies kan. today is the third day of this semester. i just realize that i need more holidays. more days for relaxing. mak said if you want more holidays then just quit la and be like her.a housewife. hihi. no one would wanna walk in a busy life but we have no choice kan. xpe, dunia kan tempat mengumpul saham.

belang semester 3 sudah kelihatan..

aku anak dagang
tak takut berperang
walau lautan harus ku rentasi
walau gunung harus ku daki
walau nyawa menjadi taruhan

jom kutip bunga indah di taman syurga!

tanjung dawai, kedah

salam,

our short trip to tanjung dawai. one of zillion reasons why i refuse to stay alone in Penang one day early before the real day i should be there. this will no longer be a secret since i'm going to start reveal my homesick story. i'm not homesick actually, just refuse to be back in Penang. a hot city. 

i requested my sister to sent me to Penang. sending my luggage je actually. tuan pulang kembali and only the next day i came back to Penang by bus. 

my first drama for this year entitled 'berat hati mahu pulang'..

my sis drove us to Kota Kuala Muda. an unplanned trip yet it turned out to be fun. our first trip for this year. it's my mak request  to visit her friend back in Mecca but the tok wasn't at home. she's away to her daughter's house in Kl. 

since she was not home, we changed our plan. from a visit  trip to 'shopping and eating' trip. hunting for ikan masin je la. makan seafood tepi laut lepas. 

till then, salam

2012 M

salam,

happy new year!!
2011 has officially come to its end but only now i have an opportunity to write something here due to a spread viruses of laziness.just coming home from a long journey to the federal territory of Labuan. just realize that holiday has come to its end too. the homesick is here again. forcing me to refuse Penang over and over again.

i had a long journey to 2012. leaving home in 2011 yet coming home in 2012..how fast time flies kan. a journey takes my two different years.

i was on my way home on the 31st of Nov. waking up in the morning feeling the fresh air of Taiping in 2012. Praise to Allah for giving me this opportunity to breath in the fresh air, to wake up in the morning of a new year with a new spirit iA and to perform my duties and responsibilities as a khalifatullah.

How was my holiday in overall?

alhamdulillah, it turned out to be an enjoyable holiday ever. a food hunting holidays i should say. introduced to lots of foods and restaurants in a month. countless. from a small stall to a grand place.ceyh but that's the truth. Hotel Tiara restaurant, Labuan Seafood, Jeti Ketam, Old town for late dinner, Singapore Chicken Rice, 'Nelayan' Village, Ayam Penyet Restaurant, Nasi Kandar Restaurant in Labuan, kfc, mcd, small stalls for breakfast and lots more.  as usual, limited pictures taken. i wished i could have taken all but xpela.

Overall,

1) i loved the nasi ayam penyet in Labuan. delicious. marvelous and far more cheap than in Penang. The rice tasted diff and the way they cooked the chicken too. totally different.
2) the butter prawn (udang kara) too
3) the oyster too

ayam penyet

butter prawn

dessert menu: cupcake

Happy new year to all my lovely friends.may all our hopes and wishes come true. set your aims and work for it. =)
