Almost.

Today is Mechanics exam. I'm not sure how I did, but Alhamdulillah, Allah helped me. It was very..

Calming.


To have those 95 minutes of busting our brains out, yet He gave me and my friends calmness. So soothing like I was staring at the ocean. Its like I feel the waves pushing and pulling my problems away.
And alhamdulillah, I walked out from the exam hall, full of redha and tawakal.

I fell sleepy not long after. But I wanted to accompany my dear sister to buy some things at the mall. An hour passed, and my eyes keep asking me to shut it.


(i normally sleep for a few moments before Dhuhr)

We waited for our ride, and my brains just won't let my eyes shut.
Yet I almost slept.

I was fasting today. But I didn't eat for suhoor. And I was dead weak, and hungry. I almost break my fast.
Almost.
I was about to buy food when my sister reminded me to keep on fighting. She said to me,

'Didn't you say you wanna be a mujahidah?'

And it hit me. So I kept on going.
Alhamdulillah

As I got home, I fell. Sleeping.

And I almost missed Dhuhr.


I woke up before Asr, and my brains tells me,
'Don't go to the jemaah prayers. You can pray alone, here'

And I almost did.

As I reached the musolla, and the imaam calls on for the prayer, I turned around, and my other sister hugged me. It's like, Allah gives me and my sisters such a longing that we keep asking for hugs.
I planned to stay for awhile, and some other sisters asked my sister to share stories. Like she always does every now and then.
Luckily I stayed to enjoy the love and time.
And I almost missed it.

I went to the cafe before iftar, buying some food for the stomach I've been emptying. Some sisters were making jokes about me and my sister. And when I saw one of my sisters, I teased her until I made herself uncomfortable.
Her smile was gone.


I tried to put that grin back. She almost smiled.
Almost.


These moments we spent thinking of all the 'almost's we faced either it's almost doing it or almost messing it. There are times when we made wrong turns and could't get back. To save the regrets, think what you're gonna do, or say, many times before you actually do it. Ukhuwwah is too precious to be wasted on our mistakes and wrong doings.

the believers are but a single brotherhood. so make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy

The Results are OUT!

bismillah. It's a wonderful day. Today is the day I get my A-Level results. Yippie!   It is however, due to my psychicness, that I won't carve a smile on my parents face. Had that feeling in my gut since July. It's a feeling of, discomfort. And nothing can shake it off. I'd like to say a lot here. About what happened to me since that particular July. But I'd end up whining things I shouldn't. Better save it for someone better to listen to. And to not-my-surprise, my results were under par. And I am not sad. At all. Well, maybe a little, but no mental breakdown whatsoever. This, however, never happened to me. I never went into an exam, and NOT pass. Never. Not the UPSR. Not PMR. Not SPM. *not trying to boast here* And this is the first. And I gotta tell ya. It doesn't hurt so bad. I've seen many of my friends went nuts and cry a lot after their results didn't come out as good as others. And I didn't know what to do, th...

Something Worth Promoting

bismillah. Hello! Hello! Buat adik-adik lepasan SPM 2011, adik-adik daftar ke mana lepas ni? Ni haa~ akak nak promote ni. Once in a lifetime chance. I want to promote to you.. KOLEJ TEKNOLOGI TIMUR! Well, people say we can't judge a book by its cover kan? So, akak tak maulah tayang wajah sebenar KTT Sepang ni. *hehe Kolej ni adalah antara kolej terkecil kat Malaysia. (kot) everything is in two blocks of shop houses. Can you imagine that? All the halls and libraries and musolla and the cafes and the staffrooms. Even our houses! One thing that awes me the most when I first came here is the way everything was planned to work. It's hard to imagine the way they first planned to place this and that in that small area. But it totally worked out! AWESOMEEE! A lot is going on while you're in KTT. We have activities like normal colleges do, but in a smaller scale (i guess) Yeah, it's easy to live here. You can't easily fly anywhere without a tra...

Take Me Back.

bismillah. It's been a while since I've been here. I didn't feel worthy enough to write again. But I promised myself that I won't quit. I browsed through my old facebook notes. And this is a particularly sad one, because I've been in the same circle for years, never learning my lesson. I am hoping by posting this, I myself am reminded. So, here goes. " Take Me Back " 28 September 2012 at 00:44 I'm walking into this room again. It's half full, but I am so alone. I can almost hear my heart thumping, as I tried so hard to hide how its beats were playing the notes I don't want people to ever hear. Fear. I'm scared to face you again here. The place where solace was so near, I could dream forever. I'm scared, because it has been long. I have been constantly leaving you. Giving excuses to myself, that by leaving I was actually finding myself. Lie. A big fat lie. The world has put a big blob of dis...
