I'm Back!

Assalamualaikum WR WB,

To all my dearest friends, finally after so many months or nearly a year I am updating my blog...hehe. It's been the most busiest period of my life so far since January and really had no time for blogging. Anyway, so many things had actually happened within these few months. I'll just recall some of the most exciting experiences here since I can't possibly blog everything.

Bandung Trip

I was away to Bandung, Indonesia for nearly a week in January and its been an exciting experience visiting Daarut Tauhid and met Aaa Gym (though I'm not a fan of him). The place in Daarut Tauhid is a second Makkah to me. A lovely place to stay, relax and enhance our spiritual acquaintance. Very impressed with the business empire of Aaa Gym under the company name of Managemen Qalbu (MQ); he have his own TV station (MQTV), radio station, hotels, travel agency, retail outlets, bookstores and many more!!! In the meantime, the people there are very nice people, and I can tell the Muslimahs there generally have the quality of an ideal wife...hehehe (but my 'calling' not Bandung...Singapore is enough for me :P). Anyway one spicy issue when I was there was about the second marriage of Aaa Gym. It was still fresh when I went there. I was quite surprised that the Indonesian people in general didn't receive well the notion of polygamy. (not implying here that I'm a fan of polygamy either) I was told by the local people there that since the news of Aaa Gym married his second wife, a lot of his contracts had been canceled and out of 100 people who signed up to go to Hajj with his agency, only 10 stayed and 90 pulled out to show their anger with regards to Aaa Gym polygamous marriage. I didn't know the impact is that bad, but anyway I guess this is the problem of fanaticism in our Muslim society. They love Aaa Gym as someone they even perhaps 'idolise' and when he get married for the second time they really shunned him for the fact that they can't swallow that fact. Either that or maybe those ladies are jealous they are not the chosen one to be his second wife...hahaha ("kenapa bukan saya Aaa"?)

Bukan Cinta Biasa

Bukan Cinta Biasa

Begitu banyak cerita
Ada suka ada duka
Cinta yang inginku tulis
Bukanlah cinta biasa

Dua keyakinan beza
Masalah pun tak sama
Ku tak ingin dia ragu
Mengapa mereka selalu bertanya


Cintaku bukan diatas kertas
Cintaku getaran yang sama
Tak perlu dipaksa
Tak perlu dicari

Kerna kuyakin ada jawabnya
Andai ku bisa merubah semua
Hingga tiada orang terluka
Tapi tak mungkin
Ku tak berdaya
Hanya yakin menunggu jawapnya

Janji terikat setia
Masa merubah segala
Mungkin dia kan berlalu
Ku tak mahu mereka tertawa

Diriku hanya insan biasa
Miliki naluri yang sama
Tak ingin berpaling
Tak ingin berganti
Jiwa ku sering saja berkata

Andai ku mampu ulang semula
Ku pasti tiada yang curiga
Kasih kan hadir tiada terduga
Hanya yakin menunggu jawapan

Funny Things You See During Friday Prayer

Assalamualaikum WR WB,

Went to jalan Raya with KPM buddies (yes again), however only Qaya, Sarah, Mohksin and I were free, and it was just an unplanned one. At 2.15 all of a sudden Qaya called me and told me if I was free to go to Mohksin's house since we haven't went to his place for Raya, so yah since I was free I decided to go to Mohksin's place.Went out quite late as I went back for a while after my class my Wisma Indah, I reached his place around 6 pm. Well, we all spent quality time there, watching the Ummahfilms, and hence I upload one episode of it below. After that went to Saqinah's place and went to Sarah's. Alhamdulillah it was another interesting occasion, especially when we all meet, the ukhuwwah is too strong for us to part...(hahaha step mana nya emotional jer :P)...but anyway yah....it was really enjoying. Anyway it's late already....sleepy a bit..so yah here is all I can tag for now, Insya'ALLAH see you all again, Amin.

Enjoy this video!!





Here are some tips for the Khatibs to make Jummah (Friday Prayer) go more smoothly. This is part of the videoblog series, which can be found on www.ummahfilms.com.

Biarlah Rahsia

Assalamualaikum WR WB,

Just sharing a meaningful lyric.....for those who understand... :)

Biarlah Rahsia

Pernah kau Bermimpi

Seketika Berada Di Tempatku

Membayangkan Pahit Manis Berlalu

Entah Siapa Yang Tahu

Mungkin Nanti kau Jua Merasakan

Berdepan dengan Kata Yang Menyesakkan

Takkan Tugumu Kebal

Tiada Pertimbangan

Keheningan Malam Membangunkan

Kepayahan Jiwa Meluahkan

Andai Kau Jujur Memahami

Tiada Ku Menjauhi

Dan Kisahku Yang Masih Panjang

Menambahkan Berat Yang Memandang

Lantas Ku Pendam

Ku Putuskan Biarlah Rahsia

Semakin Aku Hidup Dalam Cinta

Tiada Kuasa Mampu Menghalangnya

Hentikan Kata-Kata Bertulangkan Dusta

Pernah Kau Bermimpi Seketika Berada Di Tempatku.

Aku tanpa cintaMU

Assalamualaikum WR WB,

First of all to all my dearest frens and buddies, I don't know somehow I just want to express my gratitude for having all of you as my companions, very rare for me to be mushy here but what happened this week in some way or another taught me the value of life. Perhaps I was too busy with a lot of works that I've been neglecting my thought of the next life we will all be departing to one day. Nothing is forever. The world is just a temporary place for us to do good deeds, to invest for a better problemless life in the eternity garden of eden, Insya'ALLAH. Actually what I wanna say here is that I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!YES U!!!We never know when we'll be seperated from this world, I do pray that may ALLAH prolong our life here and let us to do good deeds, serves him as HIS vicergerent on earth and execute our 'amanah' in the best way possible, Insya'ALLAH. And since this life on earth is not for eternity, let us embrace the fact that we will all soon be leaving one another. Despite that, what I wish to convey here is that, I don't want us to be just friends here, but also in the 'Jannahtul Na'im' where we shall all be friend forever, and nothing really that seperate that...Ukhuuwah Fillah....Abada abadan...Insya'ALLAH.

Alhamdulillah, all praises be to ALLAH, the Most Loving for giving me this chance to value life and appreciates people around me. To some of you who may be wondering what exactly happened this week, I'll be posting an account of what exactly happened. It feels like this week has been only a nightmare that turn out to be reality. In addition, I am having regular headaches and prescribed by Hakim as stress headache. I've yet to find time to see the Dr, it's been disturbing my daily life as I can't do my readings, really I need a short break perhaps? Since July especially, I've been terribly busy with a lot of tasks. I'm not blaming MS for increasing my stress level, but I think it's just me, I need to manage my time properly and must give priority to my health. All of a sudden, I find the urge to do some exercise and to do something pleasureable....stress-free and really for leisure. Well, I've figured out perhaps I should go bowling since it's been my favourite pastime activities...but I'm thinking of trying something more challenging - Rock Climbing! I know I'm not good at it at all but maybe should try it again....at least if really that bad...there's still abseiling...hahahaha. I'm trying TO MAKE TIME for that and yah anybody interested to attend a seminar on Science & Quran this Friday @ Masjid Sultan after Maghrib? I somehow need to attend such events to ease my stress syndrome and perhaps enhancing my spiritual conciousness. I am in need of YOUR LOVE, my LORD, without YOUR love I'll just be like a feather flying without direction, motionless object.

Well, that's all for now and I'm eagerly waiting for the arrival of the holy Ramadan month. I just miss the holy cities very-very much, Makkah and Madinah. Chatted with my frenz in Madinah and my Bro in Makkah recently, it just makes me miss these holy cities even more. I really hope to go there again and again very-very soon Insya'ALLAH. I remember in mid-2004 I went there at the peak of my hectic life, I just took a break in the middle of Bahas competition, ITMAWAT transition and A levels preparation. It was a solid 9 days of stress-free hectic life and I found solace there. I know I may not be there now, but I really hope HE will gives me chances to be there often. Amin.

In the meantime, I would like to share this song with all of you. Enjoy!

May ALLAH Bless all of us, AMIN.
