Article

Interesting article in The Star newspaper today has articulately said what i felt about moderation and peace loving in Islam teaching.

' Authentic orthodox Islam is inclusive, deep, beautiful and wisdom based, and it's about time moderate Muslims reclaimed their religion from the extremists whose narrow and violent version has created a mountain of suspicion, fear and hatred ' - Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf

Where Were You?

Today, 10 years ago. A monumental event happened that has changed the world we live. Since I was born, I was taught that Islam means peace and to be good to your family, neighbours and friends even if they are not muslim. We learnt to respect others and to live side by side in harmony. Is it too much grandiose idea? No,it wasnt. At least,that's what I've experienced growing up (and until today), in my lovely country, Malaysia. However,I'm not that naive not to noticed or aware of some school of thoughts and islamic sects in other parts of Islamic world that are going to the extreme in their quest of fighting infidels and in name of jihad. But, when you choose and resort to violence, war and terrorist acts, does it solve any issues or indifferences that you have? What about the lives of innocent peoples? Are they just collateral? My heart goes to families of perished victims, irregardless of their beliefs and religions. I hope there are people who believe that we DO can live side by side in harmony,in this world. Peace y'all.

Eid Mubarak!

I think it's still not too late to wish all muslim friends Eid Mubarak or Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Have a good holidays esp those in Malaysia cause it's a week long break. Plus Malaysia' Independence Day on August 31st as well. So yeah,

Happy 54th Independence Day to all Malaysian!

p/s: I'm dreading the drive back to city this weekend. bracing for traffic jam. Yikes!

Hello

Hello Blog,
I apologize for neglecting you for quite sometimes. It is not my intention though. Oh well! Life is all in its usual humdrums and time keeps ticking away. At times, I do feel a bit overwhelmed with what life has thrown to me. Be it good or bad, I’m telling myself to think and take things positively. What’s the use of crying, bawling my eyes out and feeling sorry over some problems on hand? I rather trying to keep calm and be collected. That way, I can think clearer sans being too emotional. And most of all, I pray and ask for Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. There are few major things are happening now but I just don’t feel like writing about it yet. Soon, I’ll let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

It is already halfway through the month of Ramadan and I wish you well and may all of us be blessed by Allah for our ibadah performed during this holy month. Insyaallah..

Ramadhan is here

Welcome Ramadhan Kareem.
A very good month and hopefully all of us will be blessed by Almighty Allah swt. Insyaallah.

Andai itu takdirnya

I read this Malay novel and cried my hearts out. I was practically bawling. Can't stop wiping my runny nose and teary eyes while trying to finish off the story. Damn good book. One of the most sad story I've encountered. Of recent years, I'd only started to borrowed and read my sister's malay novels. She has a huge collection of it. But seriously, this is one good sappy love story that I've enjoyed. No suprise there, after all I am a sentimental at heart.

And this song was mentioned as favourite of Aleya (the heroin, main character in the story) which akin to her heart-wrenching and suffering experience. Sob sob *finding tissue now *

Pieces Don't Fit Anymore

HP7 is finally here

Listen up All Muggles! This is it, y'all!

Be ready for the ultimate end of the journey. I'm beyond excited. To think back when I was introduced and read the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone many many years ago. I still remember that I would stop at Kinokuniya after work and flipped through the pages and then left a ticket stub (instead of earmarking the pages!) and come back again the next day to continue reading it for free. I know, what a cheapskate i was! haha

And suffice to say that I'm a loyal follower ever since and never tired of reading the rest of books in the series (my personal favourite is Prisoner of Azkaban) and enjoyed all HP movies very much. It's kinda sad that now we've reach the end of story with the release of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallow pt 2 movie but nevertheless, it was a helluva great broom ride! Long live The Order of Phoenix!!

p/s: ok, I'm off to book the ticket for the show. Will update y'all once I watched the film.

Fall of Giants

Yesterday I've finished reading the latest book by one of my favourite Author, Ken Follett titled 'Fall of Giants'.

I'm so excited and overwhelmed. Although, it took me about 2 weeks to finish it, which is waaay much slower to my own liking, but I have to consider and remember that I need to get enough sleep since I was on a hectic work trip at that time and thus, only allowed myself about 30 minutes prior to bed time to read the book. Nevertheless, the story rocks! If you're a fan of Mr. Follett , don't forget to go get the book & read it, well, that is if you have not yet done so.

According to Fantasticfiction.co.uk , the book is the first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families-American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh-as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Can't wait for the book 2 & 3 of this Series. I'm such a sucker for trilogy or series thingy. It's tricky how the writer could keep the momentum of the stories and gave enough suprises one after another in the storyline. How excited!

Temporary Discomfort

I am proud to be born as a girl. I cherish the fact that I'm a woman. It comes with its many advantages and perks. Having said that, what about the downside of it?

Owh man, this monthly menstrual period & its accompanying stomach cramps really do hurt! Hadoii!!

Listen : Got to go - Najwa Mahiaddin

I'm coming home

Owh, this worktrip has started taking its toll on me. I feel so tired and can't wait to go back home tommorow! Everywhere I look, I see this..thousands acres of green paddy fields. Yep, I'm at Alor Star, Kedah

On the road again

I'm here at Prai. Penang. Work trip, as usual. Have a nice day, y'all.

Jar of hearts

No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus]
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Moving On

I’m collecting the shards of my broken hearts
I’m keeping the leftovers of warmth and affection to myself
I’m taking back all the promises I made
I’ll take this episode as remembrance and a lesson learnt

Go away and be merry with your life
In time, I’ll be fine
And I’m sure to find my happiness again.

My weekend of nothing

I spent the weekend by doing nothing much. except for re-reading few sad & sappy love novels and cried my heart out. I know, I'm an idiot like that. I'm sure you had far more productive weekend than me.

But anyway, Happy Monday y'all! *hand on heart, eyes rolled up *

Listen: Don't you wanna stay - Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson

Total Eclipse..of my heart

Huh,there was an eclipse yesterday? I didnt read the news earlier, if not I could have witness it myself. Nevertheless, read more here.

And that's my friend, reminds me of this one of favourite song of all time! (esp. during karaoke time haha!)

Stay healthy

So many friends got sick recently. sigh

Let's try to take care of ourselves by consuming a balance diet all the time ok, so what constitute as a balance diet? The main food that should be included in your diet are like carbs (rice, bread, pasta etc), poultry, meat, seafood, dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt etc), Vegetables & fruits. Like shown in the pyramid below :-

Ideally, that would be a truly balance diet when you had consumed variety and different kinds of foods. Which later, would be digested and provide much needed energy, vitamins etc by our body. But most of the time, it's easier said than done. Of course, different people have different preference, favourites and must-have food that they love. However, I believe in moderation and try to control the food intake (esp with sugar). I love vegetables & fruits, though. And don't mind eating them at every meal time.

And oh! above anything else, drink plentiful of plain water at all time. You know your body needed it very much.

TGIF

Plan for Saturday : -


1.Sleep-in the whole morning.
2. Wake up and start spring cleaning the apartment.
3. Take a nap (due to feeling tired after all the scrubbing, mopping & sweeping)
4. Catch up on TV programmes/blogs that I missed during the week. Bliss!

so what's your weekend going to be like?
