Ramadhan

Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan Mubarak to all! Its been 1 week of fasting and there's 3 more weeks to go. Time flies really fast nowadays isnt it. Ramadhan has always been a busy month for me, and yes, i like it so much, its a month full of blessing and Rahmat from Allah, and you can see everyone performing their best to get blessings from Him. MasyaAllah! Iftar, terawih with friends, mosque-hopping, gatherings, sleeping overnight at the mosque, Quran recitation, tazkirahs, Subhanallah! i'm really enjoying all these activities with my friends. Things been going on fine for me, projects and planning double up in this month of Ramadhan, going for job interviews...... and i'll be attending my 2nd interview selection workshop this coming Friday, i hope i can get the job and resign from my current job by end of the month......

There has been mixed reactions towards my decision to resign from my current job end of this month. The group that was effected most by my decision was my project team, why not, we have been working closely with one another for the past 3 years and some 8 months, and achieving things that has never been achieved before and suddenly, i made a decision to leave. To some people, they felt that i am making a wrong decision. To some, they understand me and my plans for the future pretty well, so they pray for the best for me. I understand that the bond between us is too great that my resignation seems to be a great blow to some. But hey, cmmon, my resignation doesn't mean that we have to end our friendship, we can still contact one another isnt it.......

I find that the time is just right for me to go and pursue my dreams. I believe with the experience that i gained for the past 3 years, have what it takes for me to embark into something new and achieve what i want in life. InsyaAllah, what i ask from all of you is to pray to Allah to give whats best for me in this life and hereafter. We will meet again, i assure you. For sure, for every beginning there will always be an ending. Till we meet again, my dear friends.....

Semua Untuk Cinta

Just want to share this music video of Mike Mohede entitled "Semua untuk Cinta" with all of you. I dont know, looking at this video reminds me of the past which made me want to post this video up. Well, even the storyline of the video clip is almost, almost the same like my story. The singer, look at him, any resemblance with me, hehehehehe. That's life, there are times when u are so sure of the things u want in life but it ends up not the way u want it to be. Afterall, as humans and humble servant of God, we can only plan, its Him who decides. Count ur blessings, not ur worries.

Semua Untuk Cinta

Dalam lelah kuberharap
Datangnya sebuah keajaiban
Walau berat kurasakan
Namun kulakukan semua untuk cinta

Bila sampai di malam ini
Aku masih bertahan
Ini semua ku persembahkan untukmu

Bila kini aku bahagia
Bukan hanya untukku
Di sini kita pernah menangis bersama

Semoga cinta selalu ada
Dalam hati kita

Dalam lelah kuberharap
Datangnya sebuah keajaiban
Walau berat kurasakan
Namun kulakukan semua untuk cinta

Bila sampai di malam ini
Aku masih bertahan
Ini semua ku persembahkan untukmu

Selama cinta itu
Ada di sisi kita selamanya

Life is a Gift

Today

before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before

you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone

who has nothing to eat.

Before

you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone

who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today

before you complain about life - Think of someone who died

too early on this earth.

Before

you complain about your children - Think of someone who

desires children but they're barren...

Before

you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or

sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before

whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who

walks the same distance with their feet.

And when

you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the

unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your

job..

But

before you think of pointing the finger or condemning

another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when

depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on

your face and think: you're alive and still

around.

Gurindam Jiwa

My all time favourite nostalgic song!

Gurindam Jiwa

Tuai padi antara masak

Esok jangan layu-layuan
Intai kami antara nampak
Esok jangan rindu-rinduan

Anak cina pasang lukah
Lukah dipasang di Tanjung Jati
Di dalam hati tidak ku lupa
Sebagai rambut bersimpul mati

Batang selasih permainan budak
Daun selasih dimakan kuda
Bercerai kasih talak tiada
Seribu tahun kembali juga

Burung merpati terbang seribu
Hinggap seekor di tengah laman
Hendak mati di hujung kuku
Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan

Kalau tuan mudik ke hulu
Carikan saya bunga kemboja
Kalau tuan mati dahulu
Nantikan saya di pintu syurga

Muslim Thinkers Street Survey

Assalamualaikum to all friends, brothers and sisters. Alhamdulillah, Muslim Thinkers department of En-Naeem Mosque had came out with a street survey video that received lots and lots of positive feedbacks through Facebook, Vimeo and emails. It was totally unplanned. Ustaz Noor, Ustaz Hanafi and me were brainstorming and coming out with new ideas to promote Muslim Thinkers to the public. So, the street survey idea came out and we thought of doing it by capturing videos as we interview the members of the public. Alhamdulillah, then again we did not expect that its gonna be a mini production untilll............ Our Bro Ilyas, show his video-editing skills and made the video a must see for everyone. So, sit still, keep your handphones on silent, and just enjoy the show.

Dinner @ Sakura With the Couple

Noor and me sat down one day and decided to give Hanafi and Farizan a treat. Why not..... Just a treat for our newlyweds. So we invited Ilyas, Kak Zu and Zuwainah along to join us, the more the merrier isnt it... It was thursday night, Ilyas, Kak Zu, Noor and Zuwainah head down to Pasir Ris downtown east in my car while Hanafi went home to fetch his wife and will meet us there. It was very convenient for us, the restaurant had a prayer room! and we performed our maghrib prayers there. Subhanallah, May Allah bless that restaurant for sparing some thoughts for their Muslim customers. Except for a person like me, i might consider bringing a towel along if i ever going to pray in that room again. No offence, its just me!

We chatted and laugh all night when we realise that the restaurant started to clean up and ready to close then we make our move. hehehe. I really hope that we could have this kind of mini-gathering often, and to get to know each other much better. Well now at least, Farizan get to know who's her husband's collegues are. :)
