Me in a nutshell...
If you are some of the few people who takes time to read my blog, you may remembered that a few posts ago that I promised to post a few general knowledge info online. I really wanted to but I forgot about it and only was reminded of my friend a couple of minutes ago...didn't think that people do pay attention to the nonsense that I post in here...well anyways...one of the interesting misconceptions about general knowledge that I found was a fact about Chameleons.
Chameleons don't change colour to match their background. NEVER have; never will. Complete myth and utter fabrications of the natural world. The infact change colour as a result of different emotional states. If they happen to match the background, it's entirely coincidental. 
The chameleon's skin contains several layers of specialised cells called Chromataphores which breaks down as Chroma means Colour in Greek and Pherein means To Carry, each with different coloured pigments. Altering the balance between these layers causes the skin to reflect different kinds of light, making chameleons a kind of walking colour-wheel.
The myth that they change colour to suit the background was believed to have started as far back as 240BC by a Greek writer Antigonous of Carystus. Although Aristotle had already made the connection between the colour change to fear, the myth has rise again to this day and perhaps the only thing most people think they know about chameleons.
Chameleons can rotate and focus their eye independently to look in two completely different directions at once, which is a very interesting ability to have..imagine being able to do that. I am sure that would totally bring a new meaning to the phrase 'the eye at the back of the head'. Oh..one more thing about chameleons that I personally was not aware about is the fact that they are DEAF.
I will post new ones soon...I just need to pick out the ones that are the most common misconceptions to us in general.
It seems that scandal and bad choices never ceased to befall on the math prodigy Sufiah Yusof and her family. Ever since she was accepted to study in St Hilda's College, Oxford to study Maths in 1997, tragedy seems to follow her and her family around.
She ran away when she was 15 which triggered a nationwide search in the UK but was found 2 weeks later working as a waitress at a Bournemouth Internet Cafe. She claims that she was living in what almost felt like hell under her father's strict way of teaching, hence never wanting to have any contact with him ever again.
In 2004, she married a lawyer Jonathan Marshall but that only lasted for only 13 months.
Meanwhile her father was facing charges for allegedly sexually molesting 2 girls that he was tutoring at home which he later admitted. He had previously been jailed in 1992 for his part in a 1.5 million mortgage fraud involving some relatives.
Sadly, as reported by the News of the World undercover reporter, calling herself Shilpa Lee, Sufiah was caught selling herself on the internet for a 130pounds an hour rate. Describing herself as 'very pretty size 8, 32 D bust and 5'5" tall - available for bookings from 11am - 8pm, with preferences to older gentlemen". The website has since been shut down.
When the undercover reported posed as a client went to her flat in Salford, Manchester, she quickly stripped down to nothing and lay provocatively on the bed whilst listing all her services to him. That was when the police came and raided her place.
The mother was then contacted but refused to comment about the incident, claiming that she lost all contact with her daughter.
I find it very sad that this has happened to her..with her gifted knowledge in Maths, she could have done so many things with her life. Was the family to blame?? Or was she just making bad choices?
Nauzubillah.

In this day and age, the internet is proved to be a powerful source of information and a way of spreading words around. Unfortunately as there are unlimited resources in the world wide web, there are also a lot of information that are influenced by human weaknesses.
I just want to share this information with anyone that cares to know about the knowledge behind Islam. I am sure there are a lot of websites out there that offers the same thing but I personally found that these two websites are good since the people that are involved in it are educated and scholars. This is very good for Muslims or Non Muslims as information on any misconceptions or confusion about Islam.
Ever since 9/11, Islam has been put under a spotlight. It has been scrutinised and spat at by people who doesn't know the real meaning of Islam. As a muslim, I can only hear and read about what misguided people have to say about Islam. At least now that I have found these websites, I can actually answer some questions or defend my religion to some extent.
Please take some time off and go to these two websites:
I can humbly say that after spending a few hours on these two, I realised how little I know about my own religion. I just hope that they can actually enlighten or inspire you as much as they have done for me. InsyaAllah.
It's very comforting to know that my baby is happy in my womb. We just finished playing; poking each other...me on the outside and the baby from the other side of my tummy...it was a very silly 5 or so minutes of the evening. The game would have lasted a bit longer until my baby decided to ignore me...then life becomes normal again..
Its the 6th month of my pregnancy and its such a miracle that everything is becoming so different. For one, my appetite has increased quite dramatically and to sum it up people, I am actually in the state where I could eat anything and everything that doesn't move. If it does, I will hunt it down and kill it!! hahaha...No seriously, I am developing interest on food that normally don't appeal to me, but I do realised that its only temporary so I would try to substitute it with other healthier things. Like when I am craving for chocolate or sweet desserts, I know that is because my body needs sugar so I will opt for fruits instead (yeah, right!). However, on Friday I was having this craving for Strawberry Cheesecake and couldn't stop talking about it so Saiful went to ASDA and bought me 2 slices..bless him. Smart of him not to get the whole box but 2 slices instead...hehehehe...kalau tak lagi mengembang la saya macam beach whale.
I am fluctuating between 56-58kg for the past few days. I have a weighing scale in my bathroom that I use to keep track on how I am gaining weight because my midwife says that I should be aware not to gain weight too rapidly. I am so lucky that my midwife is such a gem, although she said that I can eat basically anything, but it is always in moderation and she said that there is NO SUCH THING as 'Eating for Two'. I have to remember that I am eating for my self and not for the baby..and I have to keep active always, at least 30 mins a day. So apart from my daily housework, I will do some basic exercises whilst being careful not to exert myself in the process.
I spent some hours since Friday night to watch 'birth' videos on youtube. I must say that it is not what I had in mind..it is more scarier than I thought it would be. I watched them all; natural births in the hospital, water births, c-sect births, and even unassisted births at home..man that takes a lot of courage and support!! Saiful joined me watching one of the videos and after watching it I could have sworn that he turned pale...hahahaha...but after a few screamings and labor pains later, both of us can get a grip on this miraculous and natural process and just hoping that I could get through it without any complications. InsyaAllah.
Oh by the way, I kept telling everyone about the video and even Bud has started to watch them!! hahahahaha...I didn't know what he thought about it but I think he is grossed out with them as well!! Come on Bud, you will need to understand this to support your wife one day kan?? hehehe
Although I feel like I could be as prepared as possible in facing the birth, I don't think that anything that I am doing now would really give me a peek on how it is going to be when it really happens. Maybe mentally I could be prepared but physically?? hmmm I am not that fit to begin with and God knows how much I want the birth to be a natural one but if it was not meant to be, then I am sure it is for the best.
I will see my midwife in 2 days time and will do some more blood tests...which I am dreading so much because I hate needles and blood! They nauseate me...my sis told me that by the time I had this baby I would have gotten over my fears but I doubt it...but still Thank You Kak for trying to make me feel better.. :) I hope that the results will show that not only me but more importantly the baby are healthy.
So, I will update more on how that goes later on. Later..
Ruth Graham famously said that; As a mother, you are taking care of the possible and have all faith that God will take care of the impossible..
As I am reaching nearer to the land of motherhood, I am becoming more anxious of how I would cope with taking care of my baby. I want to be a mother that my baby would grow up and be proud of and be the one that will always be there for him/her. I think it is only natural to be feeling like this since it is my first pregnancy.
If someone asks me about having kids before my pregnancy, it would be something that I am totally not ready for, my excuses would be.."I dont know how to act around kids", or "I am not ready financially and emotionally", or "I still want to spend time alone with my hubby"..truth to the matter is, I was scared about the thought of having to take care of a human being that starts off as hopeless and would depend on my parenting skills to shape his/her personality and characters. THAT scares me. I guess, this gift from God that I am carrying in my tummy is a sign that God in His own way wants me to just face motherhood and take it as a challenge that would definitely benefit me as a person..and another wonderful phase of my marriage with Saiful.
Alhamdulillah so far I am having a joyful pregnancy, no morning sickness, no nausea, no silly cravings, or no weird habits..I am blessed with an easy pregnancy, I am hoping that this will last well throughout to the big due date day. InsyaAllah.
Today is week 24 of my baby's becoming into the world and that also signals the venturing into the third trimester of my pregnancy. Apparently my baby is now weighing about 600grams and measures about 11.3inches from head to toe. Well-proportioned and the brain is growing rapidly whilst filling up much space in the uterus. The 5 basic senses of my baby is also well functioning and the baby is very curious about whats happening around it and becoming aware of the sound of my heart beating, the growling of my hungry tummy (well, lately its probably an hourly thing!), the sound of the tv, the vacuum cleaner, the distinct voices of conversations when I am around friends and more importantly the sound of my voice.
Although I have a sure idea what the gender of the baby will be, but Saiful and I still haven't decided on a name yet. I want it to be nice and meaningful and yet not so complicated. If it is long, my baby will bound to have a nick name as he/she grows up and I want the nick name to have a meaning as well. I never knew that picking out names for your kids could be this difficult...hmm maybe I am just being fickle minded.
I am planning to start a diary on my daily activities which will include all my emotions and physical changes jotted down so that I could tell my baby when he/she is old enough to read and understand it. I watched a show on BBC once that this is good for the child-mother relationship and we had a discussion about it in class the other week as well. So, I guess today is the best day to do so as any since its the Maulidur Rasul and its the first day of the 3rd trimester.
My friend asked me yesterday on how I feel about delivering the baby, soalan cepu emas la kot sekarang ni kan? Hmm I guess I will never know until the first hint of labour pain hits me. Its surely not going to be painless but its inevitable and I am sure if millions of women could do it everyday in the world, I will be fine as well, InsyaAllah.To make it easier for me to be prepared mentally, my midwife offered a tour around the maternity ward and having a peek on how the delivery rooms will be like..am so looking forward to that.
Oh my, I have a feeling that this post will be a long one if I don't stop now..have loads more to write but I think I will save some in my diary! hehe...
I need to makan anyway cos my mind is focusing on the dinner left overs from last night..yummy yummy..will continue this again later.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud:
“Barangsiapa yang membesarkan hari keputeraanku nescaya aku akan menjadi penolongnya pada hari kiamat dan barang siapa membelanjakan untuk majlisku seumpama ia membelanjakan emas sebanyak sebuah gunung untuk agama Allah.”
Sayyidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Radiallahuanhu berkata:
“Barangsiapa membesarkan Maulud Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, maka sesungguhnya ia akan menjadi temanku di dalam syurga.”
As-Sirri As Saqati berkata:
“Barangsiapa pergi ke tempat yang ada dibaca di situ Maulud Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sesungguhnya dia diberi satu kebun daripada kebun-kebun syurga kerana dia pergi ke tempat itu tidak lain kerana cinta kepada Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.”
SALAM MAULIDUR RASUL BUAT SEMUA..
I just bought a book yesterday that makes me wonder a lot about how we as the human race thinks that we know everything there is to know about the world and the universe. Well, not us individuals of course but maybe the experts or the philosophers or scientists..we will cling to the researches, words and literature published by these groups of people just because they are the ones that just knows things. Right? Well..yes and no.
I wonder what makes us so special. I mean us as human beings? Scientists says that human beings are conformed by three basic primal drives which are food, sex and shelter..apparently no different from animals. However I do believe that we humans are different by having brains and able to use them to our advantage be it good or bad. What makes us uniquely human is the fact that we are curious about things. This in a way makes us as a human race where we are now. We asks questions, especially when we are younger, let a child have 5 minutes of a Q&A sessions and we would be surprised on the things that came up and sometimes put the adults at awe. That is why when Darwin came up with his theory on whom our ancestors are, though I don't reject the evolution process, I still just can't accept the fact that I am a result of a hundreds of years of evolution from an animal. I think N.J Mitchell and Dr. T. N. Tahnisian says it best in their various publications; "Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever.In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota fact." (United Kingdon: Roydon Publications,1983).
The human brain is the most complex thing in the universe. Nothing comes close to it, not even the most powerful man-made hard drive in the world. The brain is endless in memory and data storage, able to control every little functions of the body and would influence aspects of the human body that we as human beings might not be totally aware of. The capability of the human mind is endless.
Well, I will halt here and continue with my current read. There are really a lot of interesting facts in it. I will certainly share some of it here..for an example, if you still think that mount everest is the tallest mountain in the world, you seriously need to think again.
Gila la...after numerous fon calls and teleconversations to the ppl at BT for the past 6 months, moving houses twice, baru hari ni dapat internet access kat umah...yeaaayyy tak rasa cam dok dlm gua dah...
It has been a while since I last write something in my blog. I just feel so malas lately to write anything since there have been lots of other things that have been distracting me for the past months. I guess a Happy New Year wish is in order..so Happy 2008 to all of my friends and may this new year will be even better that last year and all of us will benefit more in life as well as spiritually. Speaking of which, being an emotional person, and super emotional recently *wink*, it just made me reminisce on the going-ons of 2007. Certainly there are a lot of ups and downs in my life, I don’t know about you but I really feel that there are so much to be learned from my mistakes and lessons to be learned and I am determined to be better in everything that I do. Come to think of it, I don’t know the why I need to wait until a new year to come until I even consider all these, I mean, change can be done at any point of my life at any given time of the year…hmmm procrastination has to be eliminated as well! Hehe
I am often told by my close friends that I seem to be able to accept anything that life throws at me, be it good or bad. Though I beg to differ, I am probably the most emotionally unstable person I know, I am really bad in concealing my feelings..which at times can cause me trouble as well. Let’s not go there. Managing emotional pain was one of my bad qualities before and I seem to act out quite a bit whenever I was faced with any type of emotional stressors. I don’t have anybody to teach me how to deal with things when I was younger, I guess it’s just the way the society is, or maybe it is just how the way that I was brought up??
I don’t know why, but when I think about it, I remember that I will be uncomfortable to open up the doors to my feelings and memories, well at least the unpleasant ones because it might be terrifying or I might be too exposed. I was also taught that I am not supposed to spend too much time dwelling on the painful events and believe that I just was to ‘suck it up’ and move on. I also remember that it is very important not to be a burden to others especially with our problems. I really believe that if I do so, I would end up whining and overtax the ears of my friends and loved ones.
It took me a while to realize that it is OK to talk about my real issues, although I still have to learn to whom I could pour all of my hearts and soul to, but I am getting there and for that I am managing my emotional pains better.
I guess I am lucky that I was brought up with a spiritual belief. Whenever I was faced with troubling times, confusion or loss, and there is no one to talk to, I can always talk to God and even though I will never ‘hear’ an answer or solution, I would always feel better and my mind will be able to find a solution to any problems…or I will be able to rationalize the problematic situations I was in.
I hate exercising, but I realize that I will not be young forever and since exercise will improve not only my physical being, but my emotional being as well, I guess I have to start taking it seriously…well, I have actually always known about it, but well procrastination has always been my enemy..again, note to self, DON’T PROCASTINATE!
I started writing this post today thinking that I just want to wish my friends a Happy New Year, and put on writing what I want to do for 2008…konon2 a new years resolution la, but it ended up being another long one…ish ish
So, not to continue with my babbling any longer, here are my new years resolution, I think putting it here psychologically will make me want to achieve them and it will help me see whether they are something that is in my capability of doing instead of just saying it in my head.
One: EVERYTIME WE OPEN OUR MOUTHS, MEN LOOK INTO OUR MINDS – Anonymous
I have to remember that word are powerful, I need to change what I say and how I say things to begin to change the way I see life and how people perceive me!
Two: HUMILITY IS NOT THINKING LESS OF YOURSELF, IT’S THINKING OF YOURSELF LESS – Rick Warren
No matter how what I have done in life that I am proud of, always remember that there are other people that are making much bigger difference in their life and have even bigger impact to the world and environment. Do more for others, and give more than I take..
Three: HEALTH BEFORE SICKNESS – Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
I reaaaaaalllllyyyy have to start watching what I eat and how I live my life. I need to exercise more, and take care of myself more. Although I do avoid eating junk foods, I do have my food vices so that definitely have to stop. Plus, I have to make sure I have my medical check up every year. I know its not necessary at my age but tengah semangat ni….so we’ll see..hehehe
Four: WITHOUT CONTINUAL GROWTH AND PROCESS, SUCH WORDS AS IMPROVEMENT, ACHIEVEMENT AND SUCCESS HAVE NO MEANING – Ben Franklin
Although one of my passions is reading, and I always learn new things in the process, I want to learn more.. I have been seriously thinking of taking up a course to learn a new skill or improve on what I’ve already learned. So this year will be as good as any to start. This would also cover the spiritual part of my life, I want to do more charity and recite more of the Quran..frankly, its just Yaasin every Thursday and its seriously not enough..so do more this year!!
Five: YOU DON’T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. THEY ARE GOD’S GIFT TO YOU, AS YOU ARE TO THEM – Desmond Tutu
I might not have a super close-knit relationship with my family but I do love them to bits and I am very protective towards them, even the extended ones. This year I want to be more open with my feelings and share more with them. Recently there has been a nasty rumor about me and my husband and it has reached to my family’s ears. Due to the fact that I don’t share everything with them, the rumor has taken effect and has actually hurt their feelings, even when the rumors are totally rubbish. The rumor has been started by someone who has a personal grudge against me and my husband and I just hope this person and whoever that are involved in circulating the rumors will realize that whatever they did will come to haunt them one day. Karma maaannn…
So that’s basically it, initially I wanted to be more ambitious and put a lot more in my resolution, but then I must do whatever that is in my capability. Don’t do or plan for things that is so out of reach that it will just be a hurdle in achieving anything else in 2008..like going to Hollywood and meet at least 5 A-listers….helloooo….so impossible. Ok ok dah ngarut dah ni…
So once again…I wish that God will bless every one of my friends, thank you for all the love that I received in 2007. May all of us be more productive and successful in 2008…and lastly, Global Warming is a real issue, so let’s all do our part no matter how small…
“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang fasik membawa suatu berita, maka periksalah dengan teliti agar kamu tidak menimpakan suatu musibah kepada suatu kaum tanpa mengetahui keadaannya yang menyebabkan kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu itu.” (Al-Hujurat, ayat 6)
Bosannye dengan org yang suka buat fitnah ni laaaa!!!!!! Camne nak buat dgn org2 ni?
Dear Friends,
The time has come again for all muslims to welcome one of the most celebrated events in the Islamic Calendar..
1 Syawal will mark the arrival of Eid and I would like to take this chance to wish all of my friends to have a blessed syawal and eid mubarak.
Lets be thankful for all the things that God has granted us all year long and my wish is that we will all be aware of those that are less fortunate than us.
Lastly to all of my friends, regardless of your racial backgrounds or beliefs; Be positive and may you always make the best decisions in life.
God Bless...xxx
You always said
That I should see someone
When all I had to do was see myself
And the world was not to blame
Oh mirror, mirror don't you lie again
Riding high on board
This train of thought
I've been a passenger for way too long
Now my station falls
My destination calls
And all this baggage
Ain't no one man show
And I hope and pray for this moment
Now it comes it seems so dumb
Coz you're not there
Every time I steal that emotion
It's too late to even hesitate
Now you're gone
You were bright - ultraviolet
Sun an moon and stars
Are dark, by your side
I would joke
Every time you spoke
And now I realize that in your eyes
Laughter lies
Get it on, get it on
Is it the right time?
After spending half your paycheck at a department store makeup counter, the last thing you want to think about is throwing your hard-earned treats away! But when it comes to beauty products, it's important to learn when to let go. Past its prime, the makeup that you love can actually cause acne and skin irritation. First things first: Storage is half the battle. The less oxygen your makeup is exposed to, the longer it will last, so always screw those caps on tightly. And keep your cosmetics in cool, dark places - heat and light can cause makeup products' preservatives to break down.
Next, consider the following rules of thumb:
If you use makeup with retinol, the retinol will "expire" and stop being effective in about a month. The makeup itself, though, should still be perfectly usable but you will not be getting the benefits of retinol.
Mascara is the item in your makeup arsenal with the shortest lifespan and the highest susceptibility to bacterial contamination. Experts agree that you should replace it every three months. (And remember basic precautions: Never share mascara, and toss any open tubes if you've had an eye infection.)
As a general rule, creamy products need to be tossed sooner than powders. Your cream blush, foundation, and concealer should last about a year. (Oil-based foundation, however, lasts longer than water-based - up to 18 months.)
Powdered products - facial powder, eye shadow, and powder blush, for example - are among the longest-lasting items in your medicine cabinet, and should last for two to three years.
When sharpened regularly, liners - eye and lip are good for up to three years. Thank goodness for self-renewing beauty products.
Lipstick is another one of the makeup world's great values, and should stay with you (barring any changes in fashion, of course) for a good three years.
These guidelines refer to the most common makeup brands. "Natural" products, however, have fewer preservatives and typically need to be replaced sooner. Another tip I've heard several times is that storing foundation and lipstick in the fridge can extend their shelf lives. So move aside, mustard and salad dressing!
Of course, all of these guidelines are trumped by common sense: If you notice any unusual odors coming from your makeup products, toss them immediately. Changes in color or texture (like clumping or separating) are also a sign that you're due for a trip to the makeup counter. Finally, don't neglect the tools you're applying all these products with - makeup brushes and sponges can harbor bacteria that lead to acne.
Some unconfirmed studies have also suggested bacteria may contribute to rosacea. Wash your makeup brushes and sponges in mild detergent every week (and replace sponges regularly). Always lay brushes flat to dry - stand them upright, and water can seep into the metal bands that hold bristles together, causing rusting and damage to their handles.
Wishing you great skin!
have you ever hear a truth about yourself that is bitter to swallow but deep down inside you know that it is what it is? that whatever the truth says, it is what you have to accept and truly hits you so hard that it made you physically sick?? well i heard a truth about me today and it made me think and rethink about myself and what i am doing to the people around me especially those who loves me dearly..
50 Reasons Why Malaysians Love Their Independence..
Compiled by Eugene Ng & Vivian Chong From Going Places August 2007 (MAS)
1.We get an extra public holiday
2.It actually means something now when we say “I am willing to die for my country”
3.Merdeka Sale!
4.It feels extra good when we beat England and Japan at badminton
5.We really, really boleh (can do) … and we have our very own Malaysian Book of Records to prove it!
6.The legacies left by the Portuguese, Dutch and English are not remnants of colonisation – we can now call them our own
7.Oooo, fireworks… cantiknya! (so beautiful!)
8.We don’t have to stand at attention to God Save Our Queen
9.And Tuhan Selamatkan Permaisuri Kita doesn’t have quite the same ring to it
10.Because while we may be speaking the Queen’s English and sipping Earl Grey with our pinkie sticking out, give us a teh tarik at the mamak anytime!
11.We are no longer under the oppression of others; we never liked being told what to do in the first place
12.We watch the National Day parade with pride and feel grateful that it’s not us marching under the hot sweltering sun, or getting soaked in the rain
13.Independence restored our dignity, the constitution protects it and we value it
14.We got to host the Commonwealth Games and in the process, show the world how far we have come
15.Cool televison commercials (like the award-winning, Yasmin Ahmad-directed ones for Petronas) that remind us of the meaning of independence
16.There may not be the Petronas Twin Towers or Proton Saga
17.We get to use ‘Malaysian time’ as an excuse for being late
18.No goreng pisang or cekodok (banana fritters) for tea; somehow fish and chips just don’t go with teh tarik
19.We don’t have to fight with someone else; we get to bicker amongst ourselves
20.Just because this is our motherland and we belong here
21.The word ‘curfew’ is now only mentioned by parent to child
22.We can no longer recite the Rukunegara (Five Principles of Nationhood, taught to all Malaysian school children), but as long as we can sing along to Merdeka songs by Sudirman, we feel patriotic
23.We have had to take responsibility to make our own lives better; we can’t blame anyone else for anything that goes wrong
24.Because we asked for it
25.We were the first country to achieve a peaceful independence by holding talks with the British
26.We may be a Third World country but we have First World facilities – the ERL, F1 Race circuit, KLIA, excellent hotels and award-winning malls
27.Merdeka means balik kampung with only half the volume of cars on the highways (the other half are headed towards the shopping malls)
28.It’s a day all the different races of Malaysia can really celebrate as one
29.We have given ourselves the chance to prove what we can do, and we have proven that we are on par, if not better, than those who once ruled us
30.One word: Astro, which translates into extensive live English Premiership coverage – weekends (for the guys) have never been the same
31.We speak, read and write good English and it’s only our second language!
32.In fact, we’re so good, we’ve come up with our own version of the language, called Manglish (a unique mesh of Bahasa Malaysia and English) … so clever!
33.We’ve presided over the 51st session of the United Nation’s General Assembly and a Malaysian is now serving as the Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development in the UN Department and Social Affairs – not bad for a 50-year-old country!
34.We’re going into outer space!
35.Phonetically they sound so much like Bahasa Malaysia, Bata and Milo are much bigger brands here than their country of origin
36.This year’s Merdeka TV commercial by Milo, which features four multi-racial children wearing jerseys with numbers that read ‘1957′ … aww
37.We look to the future with hope that belongs to us and only us
38.Because we’re bangsa Malaysia (Malaysian race) and not just Chinese, Malays or Indians, everyone gets the day off for Eid, Chinese New year and Diwali
39.We get to win gold medals at an ‘international’ sporting event – the Commonwealth Games
40.We stick mini Malaysian flags on our cars, motorcycles or bicycles for a whole month and no one dare say it looks silly
41.Our independence was realised through the collaboration of the different races in Malaysia – the very hallmark of what we proudly call muhibbah (unity)
42.Malaysia Airlines ‘50-hour’ open house ‘Let’s Fly Malaysia’ campaign – airfares starting from RM1!
43.It’s the best excuse of the year to party, get a hangover the next day, and call it patriotism
44.So we can name our kids Merdeka and instantly, they’re special
45.If you’re born on 31 August, you get invited to a special party hosted by the government
46.Even at 50, we’re considered young
47.“Merdeka Day, traffice jam lah!” is a convenient excuse for not wanting to leave the house
48.Independence led to the formation of Malaysia in 1963, making Sabah and Sarawak a part of us; when we travel to East Malaysia, we tell people we’re going ‘overseas’
49.Yet another reason send multiple SMSes to wish “Happy Merdeka”, making everyone (especially the telcos) happy
50.And last but not least, the freedom to have compiled this list
the music plays without a note or a tune
and it sings out a melody of a sad, sad song
how to most its almost unnoticeable
to me its the music only I adorn
the one that I hum, and I sing to
the one thats able to break my heart in two
a song thats I sing, the song of you..
I recently took this visual personality test on www.friends.imagini.net and although I dont really believe that my personality can be summed up by choosing few pictures..the results are impressive... if any of you have time, you should try it...just for fun.. :)
Personality: Moods - EASY RIDER
You're a bit of a romantic and have a taste for the exotic. You love feeling the sea breeze in your hair, sun on your skin..slip those shoes off...you like to kick back. When it comes to art, you appreciate natural beauty. You take time to soak up the nature favouring the coastline and countryside to the city galleries. As for music, it's the soundtrack to your world. You like to unwind and switch off: it gives you a break from reality. Your choice of treats reveals that simple pleasures make your day. You love relaxing, unwinding, and pampering.
Personality : Fun - ESCAPE ARTIST
You love to be far away from your everyday life. You love the sun, and like to live life at a slower pace than most, you know how to take things nice and easy! For kicks, you like to indulge in your great passions. You are probably happy in spending time alone, and your drive and curiousity will take you all over the world. When it comes to holidays, you reckon they should always be indulgent - a very special treat and a chance to recharge your batteries in luxurious surroundings as well as spending quality time with your loved ones. What grosses you out? You like things to be clean, neat and smelling sweet, that's not too much to ask..is it??
Personality : Habits - HIGH ROLLER
You love to get involved and be in the thick of the action, nothing usually escapes your attention. Clean and pure, your choice of water shows that on the whole you care about your health and make sure you're putting the right stuff in your body. As for home, you have a very cool and contemporary taste. It's not just about function, your environment has to be as stylish as you are.
Personality : Love - LOVE BUG
You're a real romantic and a bit of a dreamer. OK , life may not be a movie, but what's wrong with thinking it is? When you think about freedom, you think of living for the here and now. You're pretty fearless and take any opportunity given to you.
I am truly sad with the way that some of our well educated people thinks. What is the use of all that education and claims of being older but clearly not wiser...when your heart is not in a right place.
So, here is the deal...Kak Irma tagged me to post 6 Weird Things About Me in my blog. I guess that I am my best critic so, here are the list of habitual but weird (according to who?) things about me...
Weird Thing About Me Number 1: Going Public
I would never touch a public toilet's door and the taps with my bare hands. Its not that I am being posh, I just dont like the idea of touching the same things that other people have touched not knowing whether they have or havent washed their hands properly. In my defense, Its not weird..its just common sense hehehe...
Weird Thing About Me Number 2: Fork & Spoon
I would always make sure that I have a matching fork and spoon when I am eating. I dont know why but for as long as I can remember, I have always been like that. If there is no matching fork and spoon, I would rather use either just the spoon or the fork on its own.
Weird Thing About Me Number 3: Timeline
I have no timeline. Its not that I dont think time is important, its just that I cant make out the gone and goings of my life..I cant really remember my childhood or my teenage years, only vivid memories of them. While the people I know seems to be sure where they are heading in life, I am standing in the middle of the hourglass, blending in with the sands of time and see my life itenerary in weekly segments instead.
Weird Thing About Me Number 4: Religion
I think the word 'Religion' divides people. I would rather say that my spiritual belief is in Islam than saying that my religion is Islam. I feel sick with the way that some people use religion to fuel their personal causes and use other people in the process.
Weird Thing About Me Number 5: Curiousity Doesn't Kill The Cat...Ignorance Did!!
If I come across any word that I dont know, I will not rest until I found out the meaning and the definition of it..so the dictionary is very important to me. If something came up in a conversation about something that I should have remembered, like the name of an actor...or the name of a song...or an event of some sort, I would find ways and means to know the answer. The not knowing may keep me awake at nights.
Weird Thing About Me Number 6: Phobia
I experience vertigo hence I would never go anywhere near parapets!! The last time I did, I froze and needed to be escorted down from the Sydney Bridge. Never againnnn....
So there ladies and gentlemen...weird enough to put me into a straight jacket? Some people do think so even without reading the list hehehe...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
We ask ourselves "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?"
Actually, Who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest
The Glory of God that is within us
And as we let our own light shine
We unconciously give other people permission to do the same
I woke up today with the sound of my cat meowing away probably telling me off for getting up later than usual to feed her. So I got up, and get on with my morning routine. I was feeling very lazy today, I didnt feel like doing anything. I didn't want to do anything that comes close to any responsible behavior. Yes people..it was that kind of day.
I have been having this throbbing headache for 2 days..and eventho I know I have to eat something, I just dont feel like eating anything at all today...maybe I should go back to bed until my headache subsided..but thats not gonna happen as well since hunger will only make my headache worsen...
As I contemplate whether I should eat right away or wait till my hubby wakes up and have him prepare food for me, I remembered that I have a bunch of grapes in the fridge and figured thats perfect for bfast. I can just eat them and continue my sleep...and i did just that.
I huried back to bed, slid under the covers and shut my eyes. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but typical of me, as I shut my eyes, my mind cant stop thinking of one book that I have on my book shelf that I never had the chance to read. So, I finally opened the book and settled against the pillows.
All of a sudden, I feel like having a bath..well that always make me feel much better everytime. It seems like the aches seems to subsided in the heat of the tub. They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. As I watch the bath bubbles bursts one by one, I kept thinking that all of us will be face with different kinds of stress and pressures of life. To me there are usually 3 things which will help me with mine; god, hubby and this long warm baths. I guess when I think of it, I am quite lucky to be blessed with a man beside me, friends who will be there for me and family who will love me no matter what.
After the much needed mini solitude with my self, I was feeling refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And my throbbing headache has gone completely, I had given myself permission to relax and to care for myself for a change. All it took was a time for myself and it was as simple as that..funny how a simple thing can make a big diffrence to the outcome of my day. It is true when people often say that "it's the simplest thing that will set us free"...
The human HEART is the most important part of the human anatomy. It is the most treasured and vulnerable part which is responsible for a lot of things. It is the source of our faith, and sincerity behind our actions. A few days ago, I was hanging out with a group of my acquaintances who were talking about a woman that we all know. They were talking about something that I personally find hard to believe about her. Whenever I am faced with these situations, I will try and find ways to change the topic or find excuse to get away. I know I am no saint, and sure I have my fair share in gossiping about people, but I sure can tell the difference between gossiping and spreading rumours or fitnah.
I do believe that fitnah is one of the things that cause the damage of hearts impurities. It couldn’t only ruin the person that is being fitnah but also the person causing it will be affected by the fitnah. Fitnah can end friendships, marriage and even worse causing the downfall of a society.
Allah has reminded us of the danger of fitnah in Surah Al-Baqarah (191) “Dan fitnah itu lebih bahayanya daripada pembunuhan” or in plain English, fitnah is much worse that the act of murder.
I find that no matter how different fitnah can be, all of them have one thing in common, the person spreading the fitnah only wants to ruin someone’s or a group’s reputation, and that there are some sort of personal gain to be achieved by the person spreading the fitnah.
The sins from spreading fitnah will never be forgiven by Allah..thats the most scary part. Only the person being fitnah will be able to forgive the sins of those that have wronged him/her. So, although I hope that I will never be in a situation where people will or have spread fitnah about me, I would always hope and pray that their sins against me will be forgiven if they do anyway. Well you never know right? They are human after all, I mean I can’t be naïve and live my life thinking people will always want to say nice TRUTHS about me.
Even the Prophet Muhammad forgives his people. So who am I to deny other people from that? :)
very true..
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work.
-Anna Quindlen
I am not asking for much, just simple things like
friends who understands me, and yet still wants to remain my friends. An understanding heart and the mind that is unafraid to travel, the humour and the power to laugh. I also wish for the patience and wisdom to understand that God is all knowing and the root of all my strength.
Is that too much to ask?
i am very agitated today
I know I am not perfect..I am far from it actually. There are things that I wish I didn't do, didn't say or should have done better..but recently something happened to a friend of mine that made me think and rethink on a lot of things in my life.
June last year I befriended a friend at work, we became quite close and we sort of kept in touch even after she resigned in August due to personal circumstances. We lost contact for a while and sometime in November both of us decided to meet up over lunch and do some catching up on each others lives since we last meet. Lunch was then dragged on til dinner..to tell u the truth, anyone will say that we are an unlikely match, we are so much different from one another and most of the time we do annoy each other..i don't even know how now she became one of my most treasured friends.
OK, back to the story...so our friendship continue on like any other friendship would..we shop together, go clubbing together, cook together, and at times she would stay at my place for days and we would just have late night conversations til we both just could keep our eyes open anymore..mind you this irritates the hell out of my hubby..cos he would be forced to join the conversation as well when he clearly just want to be left alone to do his work...kesian Saiful..
Anywayyyysssss, in January this year suddenly she starts to ask a lot of question on religion especially Islam..she was an atheist by the way..and i would answer the best as i can cos believe me i am not the best Muslim there is to be answering the questions that came from this inquisitive woman. She even asked me on how to pray, and uses the word InsyaAllah regularly..amongst others.
Then last week when she called me and told me that she just returned from the mosque to see someone about embracing Islam as her religion. I was speechless for a couple of minutes..for a while there i thought she just spoke in a totally different language. I was proper stunned! When we met later that day, she told me on how she came to make that decision..how she has been reading a lot about Islam and other religions as well but she said Islam is the only religion that made sense to her. How she learned a lot from staying over at my house and observed the way we communicate with each other..she felt like all of the sudden, the pieces of jigsaws in her life suddenly fits together..the events that lead her to this moment finally made sense.
She said that although she made the decision on her own, she couldn't help but feeling that God wanted her to meet me. She was thankful that God crosses our paths together and ever since that her life has been more meaningful. This came from a woman who used to hate muslims because of the misconceptions that she had towards the religion. She said that meeting me and all of my friends here in Sunderland and Newcastle changed her perception. To be frank, if she turned around and say that she wants to embrace any other religion, i would be happy for her as well, if thats her choice. But Alhamdulillah in my imperfections i have in a way influenced her to Islam and if that what makes her happy, and feels right for her, then it is even better.
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

and of Patience and Constancy. ~Al Ansr
Today marks the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). For as long as I can remember, I have always celebrated this day, and it has been one of the most celebrated days in the Islamic Calendar. However, since I came to the UK, I realised that not all muslims celebrates this date, because there is no historical evidence that the Prophet Muhammad ever did this.
I personally feel in my heart that there is nothing wrong in celebrating the birthday of the person whom shed a light in the whole humanity and the most important person ever walked on the face of this earth. After all he was the chief of all prophets sent on earth and it is to him that the Holy Quran was revealed. The most important part of Maulud Nabi for me is focusing upon the character of the Prophet especially on his teachings, sufferings, and how he forgave even his most bitter enemies.
I believe that by remembering about his deeds and his stories, having a little gathering with friends, a bit of doa selamat and feasting is not at all wrong...kan? kannn??
Alhamdulillah
"Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near perfection, and receive the good tidings that you shall be rewarded"
~(Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, narrated by Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him)
Good and bad acts have a "ripple" effect—they set off a chain reaction of consequences, both positive and negative. No act is an act in isolation.
—John Ronner
I can say that throughout my life I have been privileged in meeting lots of different types of people from different racial backgrounds, social status and age groups. Whether I got on well with them or just a face that I know, I always managed to learned something from these people. Some are lessons learned well and changed me a lot as a person and the way I perceived things. Others, are sometimes insignificant but well worth knowing.
What is it about friendship that is so special? We meet a stranger, find out that we have in common with this person, become friends, develop an emotional attachment with this person, and you stay friends forever. However, to be realistic, not all friendship have a happy ending..some strangers remains a stranger, some you categorize as acquaintances, and some you just hate.
I heard that 'you are defined by the friends that you hang out with.' In some cases, well actually in most cases this is very true. The society will judge you by what they can see and what better way than seeing a group of friends interacting with each other? Lets face it, we will be the closest of being ourselves when we are with friends. I personally think this applies to me quite well for up to 3-4 years ago, I did hang out with those I thought (read: thought) I have most in common with, and mind you, they are not necessarily the best crowd to be seen with.
Nowadays, I love diversity, I dont mind how I am different from some of the people I hang out with..the complications of understanding how different some of them are wired and how their thinking is so different than mine intrigues me..and the most important thing, what my friends can teach me...the good I will definitely take on board, and the bad? Well, I trusts myself enough to know the difference.
I guess, as you get older, you will learn to know that in the end, you are you own best friend and whomever that you are friends with are those that brings the colors to your life and there to teach you a lesson in some ways..good or bad which only a friend can.
Faulkner once said, "Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
"..The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing..it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.."
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
I look at you, you bite your tongue
you don't know why or where I'm coming from
but in my head I'm close to you
we're in the rain still searching for the sun
you think that I want to run and hide
that I keep it all locked up inside but I just want you to find me
I'm not lost, I'm not lost, just undiscovered
and when we're alone we are all the same as each other
you see the look that's on my face
you might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered
well the time it takes to know someone
it all can change before you know it's gone
so close your eyes and I feel the way I'm with you now
believe there's nothing wrong
I'm not running, I'm not hiding
but if you dig a little deeper, you will find me
I received a call from a very love-struck friend today. She was overwhelmed with emotions whilst detailing her love encounter with an incredibly great guy that she met through a mutual friend. The almost 2 hr long conversation ended with her saying "I feel so vulnerable, I hope this will work out well this time". Have had a bad break up with her last man, I do really wish that this does work well for her, cos she certainly deserves it.
I guess when it comes to love we all must put ourselves in a vulnerable position, its like putting yourself in a roller coaster ride of emotions and trusting your heart to practically a stranger. Love makes you want to 
all..heart and soul to someone. Enabling them to venture in. No matter how well you try to protect yourself, you can never run away from the power of love. One day, one person..not much different from other 6 billion people on the planet, crosses paths with you and totally blew you away..with just one smile, one look, or one kiss..just like that and you will never be the same person again.
Love is so complex, its never been really understood and nobody can ever say "I know what LOVE is". It could mean a hell lot of different meaning to different people, some might be lucky enough to experience love like no other, being so in love that the world is a better place to wake up to..just by being in love. For others it might be a dangerous game, like playing with fire..and love do burn you, it can be a soul-hurt, a pain that travels slowly but assuringly to the corners of your heart. And it is painful.
night until you cant believe how vulnerable you are to this feeling and hope that you will not get hurt. Taking every step in making sure all goes well, but we can never be too sure of anything when it comes to love.
Whatever it is that we think of love, I think that it is better to love, and risk it all..rather than not to love at all.
The night I laid my eyes on you
I felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
And your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh my love, where you been
Mi amore
Don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
I'm mesmerized in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
Always suffering in your heat
Lift our souls like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide like I'm flying through heaven
Mi amore
Don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore
Don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

It snowed again last night. *sigh* Dont get me wrong, I dont mind them its just that it gets kinda irritating when u wanna go out to town when the pathways are cleaarrrllyy covered with snow that are melting away and has changed from white to mixture of dirt. I KNOW I will eventually step on a puddle of icy cold water later, no matter how much care I take in walking about. Just hope that I will be lucky enough not to slipped and fall! lol.. That would be fun..Ok, Note To Self: Wear Suitable Shoes today!! I wish that it stayed snowing heavily for a few days, so I dont have to go to my appointment today, and that the snow is thick enough to make really good pictures...
Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything wrote in the sand:
Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning—but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near-drowning, he wrote on a stone:
Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone. Why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.
Mengenangmu
Takkan pernah habis
air mataku
bila kuingat
tentang dirimu
Mungkin hanya kau yang tahu
mengapa sampai
saat ini
ku masih sendiri
Adakah di sana
kau rindu padaku
meski kita kini ada di
dunia berbeda
Bila masih mungkin
waktu kuputar
‘kan kutunggu
dirimu
Biarlah kusimpan
sampai nanti aku
‘kan ada di sana
Tenanglah dirimu
dalam kedamaian
Ingatlah cintaku
kau tak terlihat lagi
Namun cintamu
abadi
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen
To the sound from deep within
It's only begining to find release
Oh the time has come
For my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
bent to your own all 'cause you won't listen
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't
If you won't
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start and I will complete
Oh now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own
My own...
A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?
The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day.
Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying

Shut me out completely,
That would not be such a sin.
Lock up every entry,
Make sure that there’s no way for me to get in
Won’t try to pry them open,
Never mind knock upon your doors.
Truth is that there’s no reason for me to even see your face anymore.
But I need your ears and I need them now I’ve got something to say,
I’m not here today to win you back just to remind you that.
Sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you dear.
And though we don’t talk anymore.
I was crazy for you; yes I was crazy for you, that’s for sure.
Nothings ever easy, I think we both know that it’s true.
I was convinced you loved me, and I was pretty sure that I loved you too,
When was our final moment whats your favourite might have beens.
When was my fatal error that changed the way you thought of me ever since.
Cos I made you smile and I made you laugh, I made nice gestures and surprised you enough?
But I made you come, but I made you cry,
I wish this was true but I’m not gonna lie.
So sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you close
And though we don’t touch anymore.
I was crazy for you; I’m still crazy for you, that’s for sure.
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you, still crazy for you.
You can never have everyone praise you
nor will everyone condemn you.
Never in the past, not at present &
never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others
words if our Conscience is CLEAR
Thanks Ali.. :)
How can I ignore this feeling that is creeping its way like an invasive weed into the most painful place in my heart? No matter how many times I have reminded myself again and again that I am not to blame, I have no choice but having problems moving right along. Knowing me, I will keep blaming myself and time will be like a spinning wheel that seems to move but I will remain standing in one painful place. Matter of the heart is one weakness (among others) that I can’t seem to overcome. Is this feeling spawned from the unconscious resentment towards life's unfair treatment or I am just made this way? Is life unfair? Life is only what you make of it right? So am I making it difficult for myself? The sleepless nights and long, long days are becoming more and more unbearable. The sitting and waiting game is proving too much for me. I need to be where everything seems right and simple again.
~ I Wish ~
You don't know what you do to me
Sometimes I find
You knock me off my feet
Oh how I wish
That we could be alone
Oh how I wish to me
That you belonged
I often watch you
When you're least aware
Even though I know
It's really rude to stare
Sometimes I find
I just can't help myself
'Cos I want you
want nobody else
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna do
Oh how I wish
That you were here
Oh how I wish
That you were near
Holding me tight
Spending some time
Wish you were mine
My thoughts revealed
I'm showing all the signs
When we're face to face
I can't look in your eyes
Sometimes I find
I just can't help myself
'Cos I want you
Want nobody else
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna do
Oh how I wish
That you were here
Oh how I wish
That you were near
Holding me tight
Spending some time
Wish you were mine
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna do
Pulled by conscience
Pushed by desire

It will be 1 Syawal soon and its the 3rd Raya that I will be celebrating without my family in Malaysia.
