Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity,who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn(the good­doers).

(Al-`Imran 3:134)

Too Cute For Words

A whole day of kelam kabutness with plans going astray, not to mention getting my ass kicked by a psycho test. Balik ke d'sara dgn perasaan stress..until i saw this little dude...



Happiness:)Alhamdullilah

A friend(A) and I decided to do a little bit of intervention with a friend(B) of ours who in our minds seemed to have changed drastically over the last few weeks. The plan was to draw out the reason for her change and to a certain point to lessen the gap that had somehow opened up between us.

Unfortunately, the plan didn't go to well. I had told A from the start that under no circumstance was she to get emotional. That we were not going to provoke B into getting defensive. Tapi from the start, it was as if A had not heard anything i said. From what was supposed to a be a reconciliation of sorts, it turned into a blaming game.

I hate it when people let their emotions take over. When they feel that they need to prove their point with raised voices, accusations and heavy sarcasm. You think you are changing the minds of those listening but you only lower your own credibility.

Singa tue

I fell down...again. Remember XJ, how we used to say cempedak nangke? It was exactly like that :). One good thing has come out from this fall - i sleep a lot more due to the meds...but not a good thing when i remember i have double the usual topics coming out for this week's assessment.

We celebrated Nebbe's & Amal's bday with a small surprise act yesterday. Decided to utilize my back pain to the max..hehe. I think Nebbe thought it was all a prank until i started crying. Amal of course being our resident drama queen was emotional..i think she nearly had a heart attack. Anyways, kudos to you two. At least i know now if i had a real emergency you guys are definitely the ones to depend on :)

My friends call me 'singa tue' now. Because of my back pain..and the fact that apparently i've become more garang now. Betul ke? (as my babun bro would say).

Reflections

It just struck me today, that i have less than a month left before i end my first year. With that thought in mind and the recent LTDT program in Terengganu hullabaloo just over, there's a lot to think about and reflect on.

There are still so many things i have yet to complete.

I still have trouble sleeping. I'm trying out a few remedies now:) InsyaAllah it'll help.

I think at times i try to do to much and sometimes that causes me to neglect things that are more important.

Rase sgt bersalah at times.

About honey and bees

When i was in primary school, my mum bought a set of books about explaining about the life of bees, ants and other insects. I remember being intrigued by the one about bees. Certain bits of information about these honey making creatures that i can still remember till now are like how they have 5 eyes, how their wings flap more than 11,000 times per minute or how there were quite fastidious about cleanliness. And i found it crazy that they had to visit 2 million flowers to get a pound of honey.

Ever since i started my first year, i constantly have these 'wow' moments, where i'm just bowled over by the incredibleness of God's creations. Of course everywhere around us we're reminded of His greatness but it's a different sense of awareness when it is in regards to the human body, something that is happening inside us.

Recently i learnt that the heart doesn't feel pain. I had no idea about that before this. I learnt that it is through the orchestrated openings and closings of the ion channels that brings about the contraction of our heart. Amazing, ain't it?
