"I think of you every day, and so I will, as long as my heart continues to beat.."


"That sky. Oh, that sky. You told me so many times that up on the mountain it seems you can just reach up and take it, hold it in your hand, stroke it like a dozing cat, admire its abundant grace. I always found it to be a generous blanket I just wanted to wrap myself in, Louisa, take a long nap on the porch with as I settled under its cool warmth. And when night came, I would always hold the memory of that sky tight and fast, as though an honored dream, right up to the smoldering pink of sunrise.."

Listening to: Exists- Mengintai Dari Tirai Kamar

"Ohaiyo Gozaimasu! Had a good sleep? See u later at 1100!" Hehe. Naadhi-chan greeted my morning with her thoughtful SMS. :) A reminder for me to get ready and go with our plan to meet at Raffles Place MRT. Reached there and saw her standing at a corner- eyes locked onto the pages of the book she's reading. "Gomennasai!!" She looked up and smiled. "See I finish till here already while waiting for you.." Showing me nearly half of the book's content. Hehehe. ;P




With a Chicken Feuillette from Delifrance in hand, our walk ended at a bench facing the Singapore River. A good 15 minute chat I felt it was. Then she handed me a really cute memento- a card with a picture of Shuichiro Oishi printed on it.. My fav character from The Prince Of Tennis anime!! *grins* Thank you so much Naadhi-chan!! ^_^ A hug before we parted then homeward bound it was for me.. and just in time to snap a pic of Naadhi as she took the escalator. Hehe. *waves2* Aiyaiyai.. A gathering for my BestFriends:Sec 4P next time would be really awesome. I wonder when shall that be.. nak kene book diorang siang2 nih.. hehe. =D

Andainya kasih hendak ku berikan..

"Kasih manusia sering bermusim, sayang manusia tiada abadi. Kasih Tuhan tiada bertepi, sayang Tuhan janjiNya pasti." Itulah sedikit dari bait-bait lagu Raihan. Lantaran kasih manusia yg sering bermusim dan sayangnya yang tidak kekal lama, kita perlu sentiasa berwaspada terutamanya dalam memilih pasangan. Andainya sikit daripada cinta itu hendak diberi pada seseorang yang boleh digelar suami, pilihlah seorang lelaki yang...

1-Kuat agamanya.
Biar sibuk macamana, solat fardu tetap terpelihara. Utamakanlah pemuda yang kuat pengamalan agamanya. Lihat saja Rasulullah menerima pinangan Saidina Ali buat puterinya Fatimah. Lantaran ketaqwaannya yang tinggi biarpun dia pemuda paling miskin.

2-Baik akhlaknya.
Ketegasannya nyata tapi dia lembut dan bertolak-ansur hakikatnya. Sopan tutur kata gambaran peribadi dan hati yang mulia. Rasa hormatnya pada warga tua ketara.

3-Tegas mempertahankan maruah.
Pernahkah dia menjengah ke tempat-tempat yang menjatuhkan kredibiliti dan maruahnya sebagai seorang Islam.

4-Amanah
Jika dia pernah mengabaikan tugas yang diberi dengan sengaja ditambah pula salah guna kuasa, lupakan saja si dia.

5-Tidak boros
Dia bukanlah kedekut tapi tahu membelanjakan wang dengan bijaksana. Setiap nikmat yang ada dikongsi bersama mereka yang berhak.

6-Tidak liar matanya
Perhatikan apakah matanya kerap meliar ke arah perempuan lain yang lalu-lalang ketika berbicara. Jika ya jawabnya, dia bukanlah calon yang sesuai buat kamu.

7-Terbatas pergaulan
Sebagai lelaki dia tahu dia tak mudah jadi fitnah orang, dan dia tak amalkan cara hidup bebas.

8-Rakan pergaulannya.
Rakan-rakan pergaulannya adalah mereka yang sepertinya.

9-Bertanggungjawab
Rasa tanggungjawabnya dapat diukur kepada sejauh mana dia memperuntukkan dirinya untuk ibubapa dan ahli keluarganya. Jika ibubapanya hidup melarat sedang dia hidup hebat, nyata dia tak bertanggungjawab

10-Tenang wajah
Apa yang tersimpan di dalam sanubari kadang - kadang terpancar pada air muka. Wajahnya tenang, setenang sewaktu dia bercakap dan bertindak.

Berbahagialah kamu jika dicintai calon yang demikian sifatnya. Ya Allah, mampukah aku mendapat keredhaan-Mu dan naungan-Mu di Padang Masyhar kelak...

Watchaaa! Haiyaaaa!!

Haha. Sound effects. Always, always heard that in the movies. A bit exaggerating maybe but could have worked to double the aura of a fighter. To be seemingly fierce and impregnable in the eyes of an opponent. But surely that's not enough if you don't have some martal arts skills! No luck in creating all those funny sounds and wails to get you out of trouble. Hehe. That's why I decided to borrow a Karate Warrior book- A guide for beginners like me. Am yet to attend a formal class but at least it gives me some ideas about combat techniques and self-defence. A Sensei. ^_^ Full of pictures and tips by the expert black-belt holder Austin St.John, or if you could recall, he acted as Jason the Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Haiz.. miss that first season and its original characters. Like it since I was a child. :)



Tummy-rumbling hungry me then headed down to the KFC eatery together with Ibu and my 'lil sis after the visit to Jurong East Regional Library. Ibu bought two sets of Banditto pocket meals for us. Ooooh.. love the Cheese Fries!! And also the super duper Cappucino Crunch ice-cream. =D


Hahaz. Couldn't forget this one particular scene. Accompanied my 'lil sis to a shop for a while and was startled a bit there when a friendly female staff asked,"Ni anak eh?" (Is she your daughter?) Haaa??! o_O "Ooh tak cik, ni adik saya.."(Oh no ma'am, she's my sister) *Sheepish smile* Adehh.. my Sis Ain surely cackled a lot like exploding firecrackers after we left the shop. *sigh* -_-

Nothing Transcends The Beauty of Allah's Creations.

SubhanAllah. I love star-gazing really much. How nice it would be if we could walk out on a starry night and simply relish the splendours of the cosmos. Though there's not much to see from the view here in metropolitan Singapore. On most days only a few of 'em will emerge twinkling. Haiz.. dream of witnessing a meteor shower with bright shooting stars streaking the sky. Ooohh.. lovely! ^_^

"By the Star when it goes down,-
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:.."

~ (Surah An-Najm, Verses 1-4)

Meanwhile, I did a little search a while ago and stumbled on Space.com. Had a chance to peer through the lenses of astrophotographers in its picture collection. Great links provided too. A must-visit webbie for astrolovers like me. =) Click here aite.


A fighting scene from Star Wars. Lightsabers are real cool. Anyone care to buy me a glowing green one? Hehe. :P

Shohwah

Wahai fajar Islam, karenamu
betapa manis penderitaan dalam perjuangan
keindahanmu mewarnai mimpi-mimpi
membuka fikiran dengan pemahaman
hari-haripun menyambut dan
memeluk tunasmu yang tumbuh


wahai Al-Qur'an, karenamu
seruan da'wah pun meninggi
keimanan bergelora dan gunung-gunungpun bergetar
karena da'wahmu selalu diberkahi Ar-Rahman


Ayat-ayatmu memancarkan cahaya keadilan
penuh dengan kenikmatan
jiwa dan darah kami menjadi tebusanmu
seperti ayat-ayatmu yang bercampur
dengan nafas para syuhada
lalu menyebar menghilangkan kegelapan


wahai pintu-pintu sejarah yang selama ini tertutup
telah datang satriamu
yang engkau nantikan
setelah sekian lama dalam kebingungan
ia datang membawa kunci yang hilang
dibawah panjinya, kemenangan bagimu pasti terjadi


wahai fajar kebangkitan
kau takkan pernah terkalahkan
pedang ditanganmu kan selalu tajam
majulah, dan majulah
kuda perangmu telah meringkik
menantimu


dan kemenangan, meski terasa lama
pasti terwujud


~ 'Izzatul Islam

"..Usahlah Engkau Selindungkan Bayangmu
Renungi Asal Kejadian Dirimu
Berjalan Tunduk Bukan erti Kau Kalah
Tebarkanlah Serata Jiwa

Usahlah Engkau Persalahkan Kakimu
Andainya Rebah Di Bumi Mu Sendiri
Mungkinkah Ada Kesilapan Semalam
Lafazkanlah Sejujur Hati.."


~ Rabbani

Set out to madrasah with an anxious heart. No doubt my friends are going through the same thing too. Oh Allah give me strength. PSTE result was out today... >_< Felt really elated to have met my dearest Ustazahs again. Just seeing them lightened up my thoughts. Their words are as precious as pearls. Terubat rinduku ini..

Then seven of us headed to The Coffee Bean @ the Singapore Post Centre. The Ultimate Ice Blended certainly perked me up. A first-timer me tasted the "branded" coffee. =) An unessential but lovely luxury I would say. Once in a blue moon is enough. Can brew one at home from a ready-mix package. Heheh.



Zuby-chan and I later went to Naadhi's house after her class finished at 1 pm. Us trio then hurried for Temasek Polytechnic's seminar at 2.30. A briefing conducted on the junior colleges, polytechnics and the university education offered here. Standing at the crossroads. So what's the next step? One tough riddle to crack. Hmmm..

"An a day keeps the doctor away.."

Adehh.. I keep sneezing since yesterday. Still in a daze when Zuby called Ibu's handphone. Ooops I guess she heard me talking gibberish. Heheh. :D

"Sick I am of idle words, past all reconciling,
Words that weary and perplex and pander and conceal,
Wake the sounds that cannot lie,
for all their sweet beguiling;
The language one need fathom not,
but only hear and feel." ~

George Du Maurier
British artist, cartoonist, & novelist (1834 - 1896)


You Are the Girl Next Door!


You're caring, warm, and the girl that nice guys want to marry. Uncomplicated and simple, you've got an easy going attitude guys love. But this doesn't mean you're dull - far from it! You're a great conversationalist, and you're an expert at living the good life.

What Kind of Girl Are You? Take This Quiz :)

It's been quite some time since I last attended a religious class more or less the same like the ones I had at madrasah. Syukran jazilan Sis Halimah for recommending me about it. :) Went there together with her last Tuesday. Toh Guan Road is not that far for me with a fairly 15 minutes journey on a bus no. 187 straight from home. The class is conducted in halaqah or "learning cicles" witb the Ustaz covering parts of Imam Nawawi's At-Tibyan and Imam Ghazali's Bidayatul Hidayah books each week. It lasts for more than an hour- but truly worthwhile indeed. Alhamdulillah. :) How great it is if my friends can be there too! *Wishing*

Meanwhile, I've read Sis Halimah's latest post and discovered something new. Located at the blessed valley of Hadhramaut, Dar- Al Mustafa is an educational institute established for the study of traditional Islamic Sciences. For sisters there's the Dar Al-Zahra. SubhanaAllah. Such a place really seems captivating and awe-inspiring for those seeking the fountain of knowledge. Click here.


Below is a typical schedule of a student's day at Dar al-Mustafa (exact times may vary). Must learn to discipline myself to follow this too. Been spending too much time on the Internet till my Sis Nad said that I'm already addicted to it. *sigh*

Poem

Healing by Hijabigirl
Pick up the pieces of your soul
that have been tossed into the dirt
Pick it up, polish it off, and treasure it
just as one would an echanted jewel
that was once hidden far beneath the earth
Torment your soul no more
of your searching
Let it find peace
and satisfy that longing
for the Beloved.
For, "verily in the rememberance of Allah
to hearts find rest..."
Treat your soul
with the comfort of prayer
guard it with
the shield of dhikr
Remove those black spots
with istighfaar
and caress it with
the Love of the Divine.
