...tak perlu kata apa-apa

back at one

Ya Allah, seandainya jalan itu halal dan diredhai-Mu, maka aku hamba-Mu yang daif ini memohon dari-Mu memudahkan segala urusanku.

Tapi ya Allah, seandainya jalan itu haram dan tidak diredhai-Mu, berilah petunjuk-Mu kepadaku, tenangkanlah jiwaku, dan jauhi aku dari fitnah dunia dan azab akhirat.

Ya Allah, bantulah aku membezakan perkara hak dan batil. Sesungguhnya aku hamba-Mu yang lemah dan hanya mampu melihat dunia berdasarkan apa yang zahir pada penglihatanku.

Ya Allah, jauhi aku dari penyakit cintakan dunia dan takutkan mati.

Ya Allah, berilah aku kekuatan untuk bersabar dengan kata-kata sesetengah manusia dan bisikan syaitan yang menghasut.

Allahu Allah. Tiada dayaku melainkan dengan izin-Mu.

expectation is the key to disappointment

"Kenapa nak kerja dalam finance? You studied risk, actuarial science, if you don't work in the right department, it's a waste for you to study abroad, right?"

It's a what? Did you really say the word "waste"?

Ahhhh. Geramnya. I was sorely disappointed by that kind of view.

one minute late

You know what? At this stage, it might be too late to back off.

But no worries.

As long as you're here, and as long as I'm here... I'll be waiting.

It's a promise.

coming home

"Coming home is hard because those people expect you to pick up where you left off."

I haven't been updating for ages, so I thank you for reading this.

As much as how stressful it is to act like the person you were years ago in front of your loved ones, being home is the choice that I never regret making.

Everything that I ever valued in this life is right here.

I enjoy being home, looking at the faces of my family, having nice food, feeling that masjid atmosphere.

And not forgetting, falling in love.

PS: Pray for Egypt

it's the easiest thing to do

I always sense this kind of cheerfulness in my mom's voice each time I give her a call.

There could be two possible reasons.

First, we haven't seen each other for almost 2 years.

Second, we rarely Skype nowadays.

So not only we don't see each other literally, but we don't see each other virtually, too.

Ok, except for the couple of pictures I was tagged on in Facebook, tu pun dari album orang lain yang public kan gambar.

If you ask me, I don't know how long my mom's hair is now. I'm not even sure about my dad's.

So my point is, I feel like I've been away from them for too long.

Speaking of which, I feel kind of lonelier each day. Not in a psychologically harmful kind of way, but it's more like the feeling of having a hole inside your heart.

(an empty street, an empty house, a hole inside my heart... hahahaha sounds familar? Google it if you have no idea)

There's always something insightful from her each time we talk. And I always end up teary-eyed whenever her words touch my heart (but I didn't want to cry on the phone, haha I only did that during my first year).

She always says she's happy. She always says she's grateful to feel happy.

Fortunately I'm happy when she is.

"Mak, you know what, tak kira macam mana mak banyak berleter pun, mak la mak paling best dalam dunia."

I really said that to my mom.

keep swimming, just keep swimming

FUHH FUHHHH.

Sumpah berhabuk blog niii. Hahaha.

Nampaknya aku dah semakin dewasa sebab dah tak berapa nak pos kat blog HAHAHA. Ada kaitan ke?

At the moment perasaan aku bercampur aduk... macam rojak gitu. Aku rasa happy, at the same time aku sedih dan sayu... dan aku jugak rasa excited, pada masa yang sama aku risau.

Bipolar sungguh. Hahaha.

Anyway setelah mendapat flight itinerary dari agent yang di-hire oleh pihak Mara, aku rasa sayu jauh di sudut hati. Eceh. And sorry to disappoint you but I'm not going to disclose my flight info here haha. Privacy2.

Setiap kali orang tanya apa perancangan aku lepas grad, I'd simply say "entah". :D

Ok ok to be honest aku macam cuak jugak nak cakap besar kat orang. Aku malas nak pung pang pung pang kata aku plan itu ini sebab aku kan manusia yang merancang, hanya Allah yang menentukan. Jadi apa2 yang aku plan pun, mungkin aku akan bincang dengan orang terdekat jela.

Aku taknak cakap beriya tapi last2 aku tak buat. Sebab deep inside I know if I ever boast things to other people, sebahagian daripadanya ialah aku cuma nak berlagak dan riak dengan orang.

So sama ada aku nak kerja ke, nak sambung belajar ke, atau kahwin ke (hahaha), semua tu biarlah aku je yang tahu. Kalau dah confirm ke apa barulah update. :)

I think that should explain why bila kau tengok Fb, twitter, dan even blog ni aku macam tak update benda2 seharian sangat. Semua tu privacy dan aku rasa mainly sebab aku memang low profile.

Aku malas bercerita unless orang tanya. Haha.

All I can say for now is masyaallah... cepat masa berlalu.

Mohon korang doa2 kan semoga urusan aku untuk menghabiskan studies di sini dipermudahkan Allah, ye. :)
