We are What We Think

Look at this picture. What do you see?

A glass half empty?

Or a glass half full?

Well, there are no right or wrong answers. Either way, the answer depends on how you look at the glass. You want to see it full? Or you want to see it empty?

okay. I'm starting to talk rubbish. Here, let me give you a clearer example. What we see about the glass resembles what we see in the decisions we make in our life. Would you rather have a glass that's full with water, or do you want it empty?

Say you are in a race. You have two options in your mind. To win this race, or just finish it. If you keep on the thoughts of winning, you'll feel like one, and whatever the results of the race was, deep down.. you'll feel good, like a champ. But if you feel like you just wanna get over this whole hullabaloo and finish it, then you would feel, well, nothing. Believe me, you don't want all your sweat and efforts go to waste and leaving you to feel-NOTHING.

It's about the same comparison to your life. When you are in some sort of tasks like your job, your chores, your homeworks etc. and you feel like you HAVE to do it, then in the end, you let your glass empty. Why?

Cause you don't see what's beyond it.

Yeah, it's kind of like simple math.

Chores+duty=boring rite?

But if you remove the sense of DUTY, and add in FUN, or IKHLAS, the equation will turn out to be like

Chores+ikhlas/fun=happy

When you're happy, all those 'duty' will turn into deeds. And you know what comes after deeds right?

PAHALA!

It's great that we have fun doing it, AND getting Allah's reward at the same time.

If we think on only what's happening then, without foreseeing it, you might miss the beauty of all that is meant for us. Sure, it takes A LOT to keep being ikhlas and all, but boy, if you keep thinking about what Allah will give you, and that it will lead us to Jannah, you sure wanna do it again and again, and it doesn't feel like chores anymore, and this my friend, will keep you glass FULL, insyaAllah.

goodness in Him, and only Him

It's The End of The Race

bismillah. It's the night of 29th Ramadhan. The race is at its end. And how do I feel about it? Sad. Deeply, extremely sad. I hardly meet Ramadhan. Once a year. And for many years, I spent the days Ramadhan was here by just letting it pass by. This is one of the years where I truly devote myself in meeting Ramadhan, yet I feel it didn't change me. I didn't change. My fingers are literally trembling of the fact that.. I might not even see Ramadhan again. I am so overwhelmed. My heart is almost bursting of sadness. I might finish this race, but I don't know if I'm winning. And for the times I tried, well, He's the Only One to judge me. And I pray that this month has made me stronger within. Probably. Maybe. InshaAllah This is my last night with Ramadhan insyaAllah. I hope this possibly last date will last a lifetime. Cause I don't know if I have that long. I might not even see tomorrow. Or even finish my date tonigh

Happy Birthday To Me! Is it?

Bismillah. 20 April 2012 Hari ni ada BBQ Muslimah kat Masjid BBST. Seronok. Hari ni, body dan roh dapat makanan masing-masing alhamdulillah. :) Malam kami makan tu, makan ramai-ramai dalam dulang. Best woo! Tiba-tiba, sorang akak ni seru, "Attention! Akak nak panggil dua orang ni, sebab dorang ada buat salah dengan akak," then nama mereka pun disebut. Tipikal. Biasa waktu program-program macam ni, kalau ada yang cakap macam tu mesti nak sambut befday. Semua orang bergembira, happy, bergelak ketawa. Buat sesiapa yang tak dapat rasa ke-best-an makan dalam dulang ni, sila rasainya sendiri ya :) Tiba-tiba, tengah akak-akak yang 'bersalah' tu dipanggil ke depan, sorang buah hati saya jerit dari depan (saya makan kat belakang) Dia (1) : Azneen! Azneen! Cepat pergi depan ni! Saya : Hah? Buat ape? Dia (1) : Eleh, buat-buat tak tahu pulak. (sengih lebar) Saya pun buat-buat tak tahu, dan terus nyanyi. (wah, nyanyi kat masjid tu. tak senonoh betu

Rama-rama

Hari tu ada kuliah kat lecture hall. Agak jauh sikit dari apartmen. (apelah sangat jauhnya kalau dok KTT tu? :D ) Tengah sibuk tunggu lecturer, dan tunggu student dalam lecture hall tu keluar, saya dan kawan-kawan berboraklah kat luar. Tiba-tiba ada seekor rama-rama terbang dekat. Orang kata, it's impossible to catch a butterfly empty handed. Saya tau tu, tapi hari tu saje nak test. Saya pun sibuklah kejar rama-rama tu dengan berbaju kurungnya. Dia terbang kiri, saya kejar ke kiri. Dia terbang kanan, saya pun ikut. Nampak macam orang bodoh je. Ada saya kisah? Bila dah penat, saya pun duduk je lah. Sampai mengah-mengah haa~ Alih-alih semua orang dah give up, (okay, saya sorang je) dia sedap je dok bertenggek kat pokok bunga kat depan kitorang. Sebenarnya saya nak uji hakikat wanita yang dikaitkan dengan rama-rama ni. Saya selalu dengar, wanita solehah itu ibarat rama-rama. indah dilihat tapi sukar digapai and yes, saya dah nampak perkaitannya. Betapa saya terpegun
