Ramadhan is my chance. August 28, 2009

It’s such a good month, Ramadhan. It is said that Allah puts in front of us a mountain of gold for us to come and take it. It means that whatever deeds we do, be it helping a person with her bags, donating some money, anything at all, the reward is multiple times than any other time of the year! It’s one whole month of trying to be a better person and inshaAllah after 30 days, maybe these habits will be part of our daily lives!

Such a beautiful month, I have never realised it all my life, but I am glad I do now. =).

The word: Understanding. August 7, 2009

I didnt get to have a heart to heart with Adam as I wanted to. I think we could relate to each other the most because we began a similar journey, had similar routes. I wished I had time to talk to him. It’s okay.

Maybe god wants me to talk to Him. I’ll do just that.

Learning that impossible means nothing. June 13, 2009

I really thought I have not figured out where I am heading, but after talking to adults, I realised it has always been that direction all along. I knew what I wanted, still know what I want but I keep getting mixed priorities. Now that I have realised it, I am working on listing what should be a priority for me.

I can do great many things, especially what I truly believe in and want to do my whole life with only two things – drive, drive, drive, passion, passion, passion. Like Saif Al-Islam, he truly is an architect without boundaries. He acted as a lawyer as he negotiated around for freedom against hostages taken by Islamic militants around the world. He is a humanitarian and environmentalist as he launched teaching programs for kids on how to clean parts of their country. He may not be Zaha Hadid in the architectural world, but he is a true fighter to improve the condition of his country and society.

You can be anything as long as you want it and want it so bad.

Sharing: RULE 1. May 27, 2009

Share your things if you really, really don’t mind but don’t share something of another persons. As it could get messy especially if the person is very meticulous with their things. You could get upset with the person for a tiny, petty reason and it would ruin your day. On another note, if you would like to build your patience, you ought to share things with many, many people and make sure you respect their belongings as it is your own.

I’m getting my own pitcher.

A short one. May 27, 2009

Today I will cut my brain half open and spill all the madness of Decision Analysis I have been studying day and night for the past eight days. Today will be my second last paper to another temporary freedom.

Yang GoYang is coming in nine lovely days.

Corny moment of the day. May 26, 2009

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday”

A four year old definition of love. Oi! how come this never happened to me when I was four? Probably because I hated boys and I never want them at my birthdays. Smelly, naughty boys. I wasn’t feminist, nor gay but boys just was not in my good books, they were such a nuisance by nature.

Some still are.

Tomato soup. May 26, 2009

Kautsar and I are on a tomato soup diet? Yes, I think it’s called temporary diet. As diet is a permanent eating lifestyle and we’re only a seven day tomato diet. We are actually experimenting whether it would actually make our cheeks pink. My mother used to tell me that she ate so much tomatoes, it went to her cheeks. Out of curiosity and our love for tomatoes, today we proudly annouce it is our fourth consecutive day slurping the creamy tomato soup made with our own hands, yes from scratch, not canned ones OK.

It’s easy and it’s yummy and best part is you don’t have to use salt or sugar because tomatoes are sweet and sour and smacking delicious the way they are. The taste only gets better when you cook it.

By the way, project growing spring onions is going great. I will soon have fresh spring onions to make kuey teow.

(Son of a gun! Am I getting myself more and more domesticated?)

A pure heart. May 19, 2009

I am going for my last exam in 30 minutes and an email from my little sister Aishah flew into my inbox. Reading what she wrote gives me a sense of delight, her words are always encouraging people to have faith, her mouth always spreads the good words which would touch your heart and guide you lovingly. She always wants the best for everyone. I love my sisters and how different we all are, I love how they keep guiding me, keep having hopes and faith in me, keep believing in me no matter what happens. I feel so fortunate to have sisters like them and I can’t thank God enough for the beautiful family He has blessed me.

Ayush, I am so proud of you and what you have become.

Wish me luck for my exams.

Moja Zabko. May 18, 2009

Well, a few days back marks 11 months of knowing each other and 10 months of being together. Yes, interestingly it took us a month to fall inlove after all that teasing, tipsy times, smothering yogurt on sun-burnt skin and countless hours of talking. The story goes all the way back to three weeks after 15th June 2008, I slept at Basak’s and the rest of my friends from MMW were on a less sober mode, getting tipsy, some even shit-faced. They had a wonderous session of man-to-man talk, which also involved the ladies. Girls being girls, got into the subject of little girl crushes and trying to get boys to speak their feelings. That was when Jarek realised he had something more for me because his teasings were quite excessive(as the girls told him to stop flirting with me all the time, if there’s nothing going on. Haha!). As the days passed, I got more hints and eventually came the night where he confessed of liking me…alot, maybe even love.

Fast forward…today we are together for 10 months and we are happy!

Kocham cie bardzo bardzo, kochanie.
