I have a great gut feeling that only ICE CREAM will cure me from my flu. *hintz hintz*

Hopefully, what I need in my life right now is listed among the things I want. And only Allah s.w.t. knows. Despite my not-so-good health, a piece of awesome news just came to me. Syukran ya ukhti, for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. And now I can’t wait for 28th Aug to come. I am excited!

Hmm, I feel like visiting the pasar malam… for the food. Oh yes, speaking of pasar malams, it is quite sad to see lesser pasar malams with stalls along the pavements. Nowadays, it is just a splat of a big tent, on a big field where all the stalls ‘gather’ under it. Pasar malams in Singapore are slowly losing its essence. Don’t you think?

Argh, I need a kick-ass medicine that cures my flu and cough in a jiffy, my box of tissue is running out on me soon.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKK.

Eventually the cough in the office has caught up with me. And now my whole family is coughing along. I have been sneezing and coughing that I can bearly speak. I wish I had  mastered sign language which anybody understands, but unfortunately I only know one universal sign language which everybody understands. Haha.

I have a whole lot of work that I want to get done and over with. And I have driving tonight too. Gaaaaaaaaah.

So many things, so little time.

I was in shock when I heard the news from Siti this morning. Then… the images of young me and young bro and our young friends organizing a mini dancing contest in 1990-something - dancing to his songs. How creatively silly we were.

So sudden, isn’t it? Death doesn’t wait on us. It can come to us anytime. Unfortunately, most of us are too busy with worldly things with the excuse of accomplishing these things before we die. =S

I feel slight envy.

Envious that I am missing out some activities, and instead  I am doing something else. I see pictures showing a bunch of great things happening, perhaps I haven’t had my eyes open big enough to see this wonderful bunch of things coming.

For starters, my sign up for Arab class in July is not going to happen, due to my parents’ concern. They said it’s just not the right time. Bummers.

Maybe in future I’ll be able to, insyaAllah.

In the meantime, I am in need for a good break to do some soul-searching. At the look of things, the break’s not coming soon.

فَٱذۡكُرُونِىٓ أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ 
 ”Therefore remember Me, I will remember you…” (2:152) 

We may experience difficulties in our lives once in a while and it may seem that giving up would be the only option. Well, no matter how hard our lives may get, we should spend a few seconds thinking that there is someone else who is experiencing something worse than us.

Really, there are.

There are people who are jobless with bills to pay, and here we are complaining about your job.
There are people who are clotheless and wear the same thing everyday, and here we are complaining about nothing to wear, despite the almost exploding wardrobe. *guilty*
There are people who would eat just about anything because food is super scarce, and here we are being fussy with mum’s cooking.
There are kids who are dying to go to school, and here we are dreading school.

When in fact, we are actually lucky. We are lucky that we are able to get access to the internet. Think of those who are missing out on online resources, Youtube.com for online entertainment, y8.com for online games and such.

So when we land ourselves into some problems/troubles, fret not… It’s a simple way of Allah telling us to remember Him. And ultimately, there’s always a solution to any problem.

Just seek.

I was listening to the radio last night, and it was about finding our partners to spend the rest of our lives with, and what the Ustaz said on the radio triggered something for me to think about. It might trigger the same thing in your minds too.

… that when we felt lonely and on a journey in search for that special someone to spend the rest of our lives with, we turn to Allah s.w.t and ask from Him for someone who is a faithful Muslim, someone who loves us, someone who can take care of us, someone who guides us on the right path… (and the list goes on…)

… and when Allah s.w.t. has given us the partner we were looking for – someone we love who loves us back unconditionally – we begin to ask for worldly things. We ask from Allah s.w.t. a promotion in our career which leads to an increase in our pay, which leads to spending on hmm… let’s see… a super nice house for you and partner, a grand wedding, a big car…. 

Hmmm…. what happened to that right path? What happened to asking for things in pursuit of Allah’s pleasure?

I am afraid I’ll turn into one. :S

This thought came to mind this morning – If I die today, are there people now who are holding grudges against me? If I die today, is there something that is left unsettled that should have been? If I die today, will I die not knowing something that I should have known?

If I die today, have I fulfilled all my obligations?

Alhamdulillah… our dearest friend, Nuradilah Bte Ali (hah, ambik kau nama penuh skali letak. Haha.) is officially engage to Farhan, or better known to us as Farfan, yesterday, 06 June 09.

Zarifah came to my place first due to fashion crisis on my side… Actually I had already picked out what to wear, but Kak Pah here strongly felt that I should wear something better. Couldn’t be bothered much to think (haha), I made her come to my place so that she can pick out what I should wear. She picked out one of my last year’s Hari Raya dress, the macam-nak-tunang baju kurung with the gold lace around…

…which later at Dila’s place, I found that I was wearing the same colour as Dila… Fooh, nasib baik I tak dapat kalahkan Dila hari tu. Haha.. Kidding. =P

I am happy that everything went well that day… but one thing that I regret, I didn’t get to eat the bubur suji. *Sad* Somehow after the Marhaban group came, I felt dizzy, so the thought of bubur suji just disappeared… then later reappeared in my mind again when I reached home. Haha. I think it was one of the Marhaban men who was smelled of strong attar. =S

So to Dila, congratulations my dear… Since you will be married soon, your days to hang out with us girls are numbered. Plus, the next time I meet you, please pass me bubur suji and at least 10 pieces of Ferrero Rocher out of the many many you got ok?

*Evil laugh*

Ok, I’m kidding beb. Lepas you kawin nanti, kalau Farfan tak kasi you hang out with us lagi, kita kita semua akan bantai dia k? Haha…
