Penelope

Best love story by far this year. Heads off the Definitely Maybe and 27 dresses
What i learn in this movie:
1) Love yourself first, your ugly-ness especially
2) People can change, do change, when they wants it
3) Love its not barely just good looks, but pure hearts
4) Its hard to find true love,someone that will love no matter what.

Trip To Brunei

Just came back from trip visiting my relatives in Brunei. Was so much fun, escorted with my beloved cousin, Ulfah, and her 3 cutey sisters; Safwaf, Uswah and Mona. So much fun, get on the boat to visit the 'kampung ayer'..and see the Brunei monkeys..haha..feel funny coz i can watched the monkey from my room in mahallat in kuantan:). the first day was spent visiting the muzium kebesaran sultan brunei and muzium brunei, the second day, visit the tamu, boat trip, window shopping at yayasan and watch the night view in pasar gadong.
Going there, getting to know the cousins, and remembering the family roots, shape me, sharpen my perspectives, hope this can be the things that i take up in my journey reaching 23.

Pesanan

Antara isi/kandungan penting yang dipetik dari khutbah terakhir Rasulullah SAW - disampaikan pada 9 Zulhijjah Tahun 10 Hijrah di Lembah Uranah, Gunung Arafah

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani

Wahai manusia, dengarlah baik-baik apa yang hendak kukatakan, Aku tidak mengetahui apakah aku dapat bertemu lagi dengan kamu semua selepas tahun ini. Oleh itu, dengarlah dengan teliti kata-kataku ini dan sampaikanlah ia kepada orang-orang yang tidak dapat hadir disini pada hari ini.

Wahai manusia, sepertimana kamu menganggap bulan ini dan kota ini sebagai suci, anggaplah jiwa dan harta setiap orang Muslim sebagai amanah suci. Kembalikan harta yang diamanahkan kepada kamu kepada pemiliknya yang berhak. Janganlah kamu sakiti sesiapapun agar orang lain tidak menyakiti kamu lagi. Ingatlah bahawa sesungguhya kamu akan menemui Tuhan kamu dan Dia pasti membuat perhitungan di atas segala amalan kamu. Allah telah mengharamkan riba, oleh itu, segala urusan yang melibatkan riba dibatalkan mulai sekarang.

Berwaspadalah terhadap syaitan demi keselamatan agama kamu. Dia telah berputus asa untuk menyesatkan kamu dalam perkara-perkara besar, maka berjaga-jagalah supaya kamu tidak mengikutinya dalam perkara-perkara kecil.

Wahai manusia sebagaimana kamu mempunyai hak atas isteri kamu, mereka juga mempunyai hak ke atas kamu. Sekiranya mereka menyempurnakan hak mereka ke atas kamu, maka mereka juga berhak diberikan makan dan pakaian, dalam suasana kasih sayang. Layanilah wanita-wanita kamu dengan baik dan berlemah-lembutlah terhadap mereka kerana sesungguhnya mereka adalah teman dan pembantu kamu yang setia. Dan hak kamu atas mereka ialah mereka sama sekali tidak boleh memasukkan orang yang kamu tidak sukai ke dalam rumah kamu dan dilarang melakukan zina.

Wahai manusia, dengarlah bersungguh-sungguh kata-kataku ini, sembahlah Allah, dirikanlah solat lima waktu, berpuasalah di bulan Ramadhan, dan tunaikanlah zakat dari harta kekayaan kamu. Kerjakanlah ibadah haji sekiranya kamu mampu. (Semua manusia berasal dari Adam dan Hawa, tidak ada (bangsa) Arab yang lebih mulia dari (bangsa) bukan Arab atau (bangsa) bukan Arab lebih mulia dari (bangsa) Arab; juga tidak ada yang (berkulit) putih lebih mulia dari yang (berkulit) hitam atau yang (berkulit) hitam lebih mulia dari (berkulit) putih) Ketahuilah bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.

Ingatlah, bahawa kamu akan menghadap Allah pada suatu hari untuk dipertanggungjawabk an diatas segala apa yang telah kamu kerjakan. Oleh itu, awasilah agar jangan sekali-kali kamu terkeluar dari landasan kebenaran selepas ketiadaanku.

Wahai manusia, tidak ada lagi Nabi atau Rasul yang akan datang selepasku dan tidak akan lahir agama baru. Oleh itu wahai manusia, nilailah dengan betul dan fahamilah kata-kataku yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya aku tinggalkan kepada kamu dua perkara, yang sekiranya kamu berpegang teguh dan mengikuti kedua-duanya, nescaya kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya. Itulah Al-Qur an dan Sunnahku.

Hendaklah orang-orang yang mendengar ucapanku, menyampaikan pula kepada orang lain. Semoga yang terakhir lebih memahami kata-kataku dari mereka yang terus mendengar dariku. Saksikanlah Ya Allah, bahawasanya telah aku sampaikan risalahMU kepada hamba-hambaMu.

“Pada hari ini, telah Aku sempurnakan bagimu Agamamu, dan telah aku cukupkan nikmatKu untukmu, dan Aku redha Islam menjadi agamamu”. (Al-Maidah-3)Ayat Terakhir yang diwahyukan Allah SWT ke atas Baginda Rasulullah SAW tidak lama selepas Khutbah Wida'

Khutbah Wada’ di sebut dalam hampir semua kitab Hadis. Antara lain - Sahih al-Bukhari:Hadith no. 1623, 1626, 6361 & 98. Imam al-Tirmidhi juga menyebut dalam Hadith-Hadith no. 1628, 2046, 2085. Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal telah menerangkan versi yang paling panjang dan paling lengkap dalam Musnad, Hadith no. 19774.

Iman Mutiara

Iman adalah mutiara
Di dalam hati manusia
Yang meyakini Allah
Maha Esa, Maha Kuasa

Tanpamu iman bagaimanalah
Merasa diri hamba padaNya
Tanpamu iman bagaimanalah
Menjadi hamba Allah yang bertaqwa

Iman tak dapat diwarisi
Dari seorang ayah yang bertaqwa
Ia tak dapat dijual-beli
Ia tiada di tepian pantai

Walau apapun caranya jua
Engkau mendaki gunung yang tinggi
Engkau berentas lautan api
Namun tak dapat jua dimiliki
Jika tidak kembali pada Allah

Jika tidak kembali pada Allah


I care about a friend, even I have millions and one reason not to be close or even be a friend to this person. But i just care. I hate to see that person drifting, when i know i have not try my best.
Or maybe i have, it just a matter of giving up, if that person, this person particularly, did not want to help 'ownself'.
I care about this person, it got me headache, heartache. I want nothing in return when this person, comes back to the right path, set this person principle straight, repent, regret, changes, just the thought i can save a friend; now, here, and Hereafter.
Don't get me wrong, i have plenty of friends that just like this specific friend, but i don't understand why i want to care for this one friend.
I don't understand why i want to care, so much for this one friend.

hmmm

surprisingly-thinking about life is not a recommended thing to do; it will mess up your mind, your principles, your life, in the end. But at the same time, you will know then, the truth; which principles can be used, what is right and what is wrong and improvise your life. But the hardest thing to do is not, knowing the end result, deciding what we want in our life, but how do we reach those destination. A great writer always wrote it, poets mentioned in their poetry, but until we experienced it ourselves, how hard it is to face decision, to choose the road, and face all the impedances, then we will never know.
This society, that we lived in, that i lived, is not a simple society anymore, where we just follow the book. we cannot just labeled somebody or someone as good, or bad, or lesbian, or gay or whatever. This is a society that get so complicated, proved by the recent tsunami that strikes on the 8th March 08. I guess, what one can do, is read.
"Proclaim! (or read) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who Created; Created man. out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood; Proclaim, and thy Lord is most Bountiful; He who taught (the use of) the pen, taught man which he knew not" (Al-Alaq:1-5).
The Qur'an already stated it, now the man, as the caliph, should do his part.
Raising a child, is the hardest thing to do now.
Life is hard..more harder now.
Religion is the basis for all, and yet it what scares people off.
Nauzubillah.

Definitely, Maybe

This love story is not for all, this is not the kind of love story that has a 'fairy-tale ending or story line', it is in fact, reality; just how bad love plays us all and affecting the life and how we choose the person. This romantic love story, is in fact, a commitment love story. So, if you are looking for fun, funny and relax, not the kind for you. As for me, watching this movie got me thinking..alot. Well, the fact that he had 3 relationship, and one is a college sweetheart, a hot-impulsive-intense-energy draining-perfect-together lover, and a close-good-friend-that -always-come-back-for-each-other-with-unspoken-love lover, the story line sum it all. So who do we choose for our better half? the one we want to spend the rest of our life with. This story shows, that each of the relationship has its own uniqueness, things that makes we want to marry that person and spend the rest of our life when we are together, but who actually, the right person, that will stay by our side through thick and thin and will come back no matter what happened, because that one particular person, always care and love no matter what and when.
This movie, show that even we thought we already make the best decision ever (at that moment), divorce still happened. And it make me think..who is the right person.
I mean, we never know right. Till we jump into the wagon and take the journey. And maybe the wagon will have a safe journey till the end even with few bumpy roads taken, and maybe the wagon will just broke down after the bumpy road. That is when we need to braced up, pull ourself, and stand strong. Having a kid, a very sporting and understanding kid like in this movie, is an added bonus, totally.
So, this movie is a must see if you are looking for a commitment relationship, but not, if you don't plan for any commitment in your life.

Gone Baby Gone

A good movie, well, supposed to be a great movie, but i was distracted enough, that i could not pay enough attention to the movie. Anyway, what i can say about the movie, in the end, is; how far we can bend the rules, being unethical, after we knows the end result of our action?
I mean, the fact we don't know what does the future stores for us, and we are gambling every minute of every day. So, sometimes, experiences thought us well, that we are afraid of the future and try very hard to prevent that from happening. But, we knew that it is unethical. In the end, this movie got you thinking, and reflect you of decision you will done in your life. And as a Muslim, the best guidance, is Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah, and even me have to come back and reach for that, for i have lost the guidance for a while. Gone baby gone, is me...after all.
