Small Hours~

Seriously, I am crying, internally and externally. No words can can describe the exact feeling of mine for the time being, but one thing I can surely said, always appreciating people around us, regardless how are their characters, because the differences that exist among us are actually the "glues" that bring us together...

While I am looking to numbers of pictures during the old days here in this uni, a private message I received from one of my beloved sisters makes my tears burst...

"alahai..tak smpt nk jmpe2 dah sebelum kite jd bini org ek..lupe pulak awak balik esok..ishh"
[madam-to-be-soon, 2144, 09-09-11]

Looking into old days with her, seriously I can't imagine how do I am for now if Allah do not introduced me to her during my early days in this uni. Although our life journey is actually has been planned by The Almighty in Lauh Mahfuz, but somehow, the path of life is our choice. There always exist two directions for us to choose, and in every single decision that we made, it must be based on IMAN and TAQWA. And to know her here is one of the most precious gifts from Allah for me in this stage of life... ;')

Dear you, I pray from the deep down inside my heart....may Allah bless you in every single thing you do... May He eases all of your affairs and grant you with eternal happiness...Ana uhibbuki fillah...

Times run so fast.... [2008-2011]

Part of Tiga Kata song (KRU) somehow touched my heart, because the words are so true.. ;'(

Walaupun kita saling
Sayang satu sama lain
Tapi kenapa sukar meluahkan rasa
Berikan mereka tahu
Andainya hari esok
Ditakdirkan berpisah

Dalam kesibukan
Kita seringkali mula hilang kemesraaan dengan mereka di sisi
Tak rasa bersyukur
Tak rasa berbangga mempunyai bahu sedia untuk kita bersandar
Pejamkan matamu
Lihatlah di hatimu semua kasih terhimpun dibiarkan terkurung

Jadi luahkan sekarang luahkan...

 The remaining small hours... Place that I always hit during exam weeks~

Eid 1432H~

Alhamdulillah wa syukurlillah...
Today is 8th Syawal 1432H and hopefully all the good practices that we did during Ramadhan still remain. :) And today, I'm already at my university, waiting to sit for my one and only paper for this semester, Jurutera Dalam Masyarakat (EIS). And in less than a week, I will fly again to my hometown, to spend another 15 days with my family before come back to this uni, to continue another remaining one semester before I graduate and face another stage of life, instead of student life :) InsyaAllah. May all the journey ahead full with His blessings~ Amin...

There's a lot of story to be told, until I do not know which one to be told and which one to be write first. Instead of wishing Salam Lebaran to all, I would like to congratulate one of my beloved sisters, Sis Fasihah, who already change her title from being a Miss to Madam, sharp on 10.27 am, 5 Syawal 1432 H. May the Baitul Muslim build will last forever till Jannah and may Allah bless you and your life partner till the end of time. I am so sorry for not coming to your wedding since I am still at my hometown during that day. And for another six walimahs on this upcoming 11th and 17th September, I would like to apology in advance for not being able to come since I will fly to my hometown again on this 10th. I am so sorry... May Allah eases all the preparations and I'll pray that the memorable ceremony will run smoothly as you planned. Amin...

 Some moments captured using my phone.

Talking about Eid, there's a lot of things have changed. And due to the changes, somehow I totally realized that I am getting older now. Haha :D Before this, it's kind of hard for me to admit an "Aunty" title given to me but during this Eid, I can't resist it anymore. How could I asked the nieces and nephews to call me "Kakak" anymore when my youngest sister who is still 5 years old also been called as Aunty Athirah? Oh oh oh -_- Even though I cannot deny the "uneasy old feeling" when being called as Aunty Zaza, but what can I do... I must accept the fact that all of us (my cousins on my dad's side) are mostly twenties and even a few already reach forties. The times run so fast and somehow I'm quite amazed that some of us have the Mak, Mummy, Ummi, Abah, Bapak, or Daddy title already. :) The 3 days visit to my dad's village which takes us approximately 5 hours from Kuching do brings lots of good news, especially about the newcomers to the big family. :)

And for this Eid, I have learned to bake some of the layer cakes instead of just pick, buy and serve. :D Baking layer cakes need you to have lots of patience since it do takes time, and I really mean it! And hopefully the spirit of baking will continue until next Eid, InsyaAllah... Although it takes lots of times, but seeing the cakes turn into reality will makes you feel satisfied, although some of the layers are not that even. Those who are kind of particular shall set their mind free from "perfection desired" when they are just about to try for the first time baking the cakes. Hehe~

And lastly, all the best to all my friends for this upcoming final examinations. Some of us are having their first paper as early as today and luckily mine is on this Friday :) After we put all our heart and sweat into it, just leave the results to Allah since He always know what we really need and what is the best for us. Maybe for some, having a good results is the best for them but we cannot deny that sometimes, an average results is the best for some, because Allah always knows why~ :) Maat Taufiq Wan Najah Fil Imtihan, and lets all of us do the best for the remaining small hours of being engineering students, and do pray harder for the best in every single aspect of our life :)

"If Allah helps you, no one can vanquish you. If He forsakes you, who can help you after that? So the believers should put their trust in Allah"

Day 25: The Last~

Today, we'll enter the 25th day of Ramadhan 1432H which indirectly means that, we'll have another 4 or 5 days to grab all the golden chances and rewards offered by Him. Today also means I am officially free to let go my Final Year Design Project, the most memorable, chaos, bittersweet, laugh, fun and tears project throughout my life as a university student. Of course I will always remember all those moments in completing this project, although I strongly wish from deep down inside my heart, this will be the last one I deal with what so called as plant design activities. -_-

 FYDP Group 11 (24 Jan '11 - 24 August '11)

In approximately less than 15 hours, I will fly to my hometown. This gonna be the first time I'm using Firefly service, and I cannot avoid the feeling of nervous and excited to see and to experience how the service will be. Will it be good as Malaysia Airlines or just so-so like AirAsia? Just wait and see. And somehow, I cannot avoid myself from being melancholic when I realize the fact that, this is my last Ramadhan in this university, the place where I grow up from a teenage world to "an almost adult" world. Being here for almost 5 years taught me a lot, with all the invaluable experiences, meeting and knowing lots of people, lives throughout the ups and downs far away from my parent's eyes, learn to deal and encounter uncountable unexpected situations and most importantly, teach me to react towards all the things that comes along my way, of being a person and a servant of Allah. Oh, forget to say, this entry gonna be long, yes, very long for me who rarely write a long entry! =D

Somehow, this year I am having kind of iridescent fasting moments in this uni. From numbers of exciting activities and moments, until to accept the fact that it's a bid adieu time to numbers of  wonderful sisters and friends, who gonna leave this uni very soon and entering the second stage of being a Muslim according to Maratib Amal, Baitul Muslim. May Allah bless us in everything we do, regardless how far we gonna be separated after this, because a good remembrance from a friend to friend is via the most powerful medium, a sincere du'a. As quoted from Sis Hannan last night after our iftar, we may meet each other after this, but trust me, it will never be the same. The way we speak, and things that we gonna share will never be as deep as now. My heart do cries when I heard this statement, but somehow, I cannot deny the fact that as time goes by, people will change and their environment play a main role in contributing towards these changes. And I must bear in mind that, next semester might be tougher, the journey towards being a better Muslim will be harder, since this the nature of life journey as He promised in Chapter 90, verse 4.

 Sweet moment will always come for few seconds ;'(

Instead of activities with sisters, there are lots of moments created with all of my course mates. Starting with kind of disorganized Deans Lists award occasion, until an adhoc iftar together organized by Aminuddin Ishak, all of these activities somehow bring us closer, instead of "heavy workloads" that keep on haunting us towards the end of Ramadhan 1432H. Sometimes, I do fear if this Ramadhan will just leave me like that, with zero inner changes. I cannot deny the fact that some time, I do put more attention towards my workloads, instead of trying to grab as much as possible the great chances to collect the rewards offered as a preparation to entering the next stage of world, Barzakh and Mahsyar. The hadith as narrated by Ahmad, Bukhari and Muslim somehow makes me afraid, if I have made my Ultimate Source of Tranquility envy, and finally He just gives what I wish for, since He do not wants to hear me anymore ;'(

"Sesungguhnya Allah itu cemburu dan orang mukmin itu (juga) cemburu. Dan kecemburuan Allah itu adalah apabila seorang mukmin melakukan apa yang Allah haramkan atasnya.”

 DL Awards (Environment Group) [The lady in purple will change her title from Miss to Madam soon :)]

While completing the academic tasks, there are some moments when I cannot hold the negative feelings and expressions, which in Islam, we are prohibited to do so... However, I still believe that the chance still exist for me to correct what is wrong and to improve what is not totally right. Allah is generous, and that is why He always give the chance for us to return to the right track through repent. And hopefully, with the remaining days of Ramadhan leave, I will be able to catch all the offers that I've lost.. ;'(

This Ramadhan also have been a good platform somehow, since I think some of bad things before Ramadhan have changed to better. To you that involved, I am sorry and may Allah grants us with the best in future. Although is Islam the maximum days to keep having a "cold silent" are three days, I really hope that Allah will forgive us for all these matters since it is exactly after two months that I can totally forgive and partially forget all the things that happened. As usual, mistakes are part of being human, and we are both physically perfect humans.

Lastly, I pray that everything will runs well and smooth, together with His blessings in all the things and matters that we do and we plan to do. Life is somehow about learning and creating memories, and as quoted from Sis Fasihah, good days give happiness, bad days give experiences, worse days give lessons and the best days give memories. After all, every single things happened in our life basically have its own reasons and purposes. Alas, most of us will just realized about it when it seems to be kind of late already but do not regret about the past, since past is past, and we still have the power to control what will happen next through our deeds, our actions and our prayers. Wishing things to be better without any efforts are meaningless, but when things do not come up as what we plan after we put all of our hearts and sweats into it, just accept it, because that is the best for us, and always remember that, He always know why. 

May Allah grant all of us with the third phase of chance offered in this holy month, and may He eases us in everything that we do. We never know when we'll enter the next stage of life, and may this month contributes a lot in our preparations. As quoted from Sis Syah during our Wida' 8 days ago, 

"Muamalat yang paling pasti dalam kehidupan kita di dunia ini adalah MATI"

Salam Ramadhan 1432 H
Selamat Menyambut Aidilfitri
Maaf Zahir & Batin

Day 21: Remembrance of Al Quds~

Terbuka akan helaian nota halaqah bertarikh 15 Julai 2010,

Seorang ustaz berkata, di saat piala dunia, ada yang rajin bangun qiamulail, kiblatnya televisyen dan wiridnya "GOL!". Sedangkan di Palestin, Iraq, Afghanistan dan Pattani, umat Islam berkecamuk mempertahankan aqidah, membeli syurga dengan titisan darah..

Di saat 10 hari terakhir Ramadhan sudah memasuki tirainya, marilah sama-sama kita bermuhasabah,

What will be the outcomes of my Ramadhan of this year?

What will be the output of the "reactions" inside myself in this holy month?

And do not forget,

Di manakah Al Aqsa dan Palestin di hati kita?

Kenapa harus tahu dan kisah tentang Palestin, tentang Al Aqsa?

Memetik kata penakluk Baitulmaqdis, Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi,

"Siapa yang menakluki Palestin, maka mereka akan menguasai dunia."

Dan jika dilihat dunia hari ini, siapakah yang menjadi pendominasi utama? (Marilah sama-sama berfikir dan melihat dunia)

Ayuh pemuda dan pemudi, mari berusaha untuk menjadi seperti Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi.

p/s: Bulan Ramadhan mungkin boleh menjadi platform terbaik untuk memboikot produk-produk yang menjadi penyumbang utama kepada peluru-peluru yang menembusi jasad saudara kita di Palestin, terutama buat mereka yang masih belum punyai kekuatan untuk memboikot ;'( Ini baru sekadar memboikot, belum lagi perlu turun ke medan juang dan menjual titisan darah demi membeli syurga....

Day 17: Bid Adieu~

Pada wajah itu
Ku lihat ada sinar
Yang ku yakin akan terus sirna 
Bersama derapan langkah yang kan terus mara
Dalam keazaman yang tetap membara
Kerana aku dan dia
Dia dan kamu 
Dan kita semua 
Punyai satu hati, jiwa dan rasa
Meskipun jasad tak lagi bersama
Meskipun mungkin takkan lagi bersua
Tapi kita ada Dia
Yang akan terus mengikat rasa cinta
Dalam nyanyian Rabithah dan ucapan doa...

Di kala kau merasa lemah
Dan aku mungkin tersalah langkah
Carilah warkah dan utusan kasih yang barokah
Imbaslah kembali memori indah berhalaqah
Kerna sesungguhnya kita dijanjikan untuk hidup dalam payah...

Andai aku pergi dulu sebelummu
Ku mohon kau kirimkan aku nota tulus dan restu
Kerana hati kita sebenarnya akan terus menyatu
Tanpa dibatasi ruang dan waktu...

Mengenali dirimu bukan satu kebetulan
Tapi suratan daripada Ar-Rahman...

Memberi bukan untuk disayangi
Menyintai bukan untuk dikasihi
Moga bersua kembali di negeri abadi
Dan kita akan terus bersama dalam dakapan Illahi...

Wida' SISMA 1432 H
17 Ramadhan 1432 H
-kau ada aku, aku ada kamu, dan kita ada Dia-

Day 14: Persevere~

Daripada Aisyah, Nabi SAW bersabda yang bermaksud: “Wahai manusia, lakukanlah amalan mengikut keupayaan kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak jemu sehingga kamu jemu. Amalan paling Allah sukai ialah amalan yang berterusan walaupun sedikit.”
(Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Maka tetaplah kamu pada jalan yang benar, sebagaimana diperintahkan kepadamu dan (juga) orang yang telah tobat beserta kamu dan janganlah kamu melampaui batas. Sesungguhnya Dia Maha Melihat apa yang kamu kerjakan.
(Surah Hud: 112)

Have you ever heard an English quote saying "slowly but surely" ? Somehow we can relate this quote with a hadith and a Quranic verse as mentioned above. In Islam, we can say  persevere as ISTIQAMAH. Why we need to be persevere in all good deeds that we do?

Before I proceed, I think it's better if we can ask ourselves this question. Is it hard to be persevere? Do we need to be highly determined and discipline in order to be istiqamah in any good deeds and practices that we do? If the answer is yes for both of the questions, you're actually can find the answers on why Allah do loves His servants who're persevere in doing good things in their life. 

"Syurga itu manis kerana mujahadah itu pahit"

Of course we need to mujahadah a lot in order to be an istiqamah person. Inner and outer obstacles are not easy things to be faced and to be gone through, especially in today's high technology world. Sins that might become the silent killer of our istiqamah are very hard to be seen and to be detected, unless we have purely white and clean heart. Why I said so? Because only those with pure heart can be very sensitive with every single action they did that might stray away from the right path.


p/s: Currently in unstable mood. The reactor design somehow send me spinning. Boom, boom, boom~
